Fairy Eye

The next day, the laborers went to work as usual, and things were peaceful on the moving side. But not long after work began, problems arose on the land clearing side.

Team leader Wang Yang searched everywhere for Zeng Ping and Yue Qingshan but couldn't find them, so he went to Zhao Ruiling to ask about the situation.

Zhao Ruiling was unaware of the details, but judging from his exchange with Han Lin yesterday, this matter was probably inextricably linked to Han Lin.

For some reason, Zhao Ruiling did not reveal his thoughts, but instead said that he and Zeng Ping were just ordinary fellow disciples and had no deep relationship.

After dinner last night, they each went back to their residences, and I don't know why they didn't come to work today.

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang rushed back to the camp to check, only to find the two people's room doors locked. Sensing something was amiss, he immediately reported the matter to the steward, Kong He.

After hearing this, Kong He said, "It's alright. The spiritual energy in the mountains and forests around the Milky Way Valley is much richer than that of places like the Azure Dragon River. The two of them probably sneaked out last night to cultivate in the mountains and missed the appointed time. I'll go find them now."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Steward."

Wang Yang breathed a sigh of relief and went back to supervise the construction.

To Wang Yang's surprise, Zeng Ping and Yue Qingshan still hadn't returned by the time work started in the afternoon.

He found Kong He and asked him, only to find out that Kong He had searched the surrounding mountains and forests but had not found any trace of the two.

This is very problematic.

After finishing work in the evening, Kong He gathered everyone together and questioned them about the situation, trying to find some clues.

However, after a thorough investigation, everyone's account was watertight, leaving him with no other option but to report the matter to the sect's enforcement hall.

The Enforcement Hall has never paid much attention to the disappearance of miscellaneous disciples.

Because in their view, cultivation is inherently a cruel thing, and since one has chosen to embark on this path, one should be prepared to dedicate oneself to the Great Way.

Moreover, the talents of menial laborers are generally average. It would be quite good if one out of ten could stand out and become a formal disciple.

I'm too lazy to bother with this bunch of useless people.

However, these kinds of words are only said in private. We still have to maintain appearances, otherwise the servants' quarters will be in chaos.

So, they pretended to send a Qi Refining Level 5 disciple to Galaxy Valley to investigate the situation.

Needless to say, after investigating for two or three days, not a single useful clue was found! His number one suspect was not Han Lin, but Zhao Ruiling.

It's easy to imagine that Zhao Ruiling has a powerful background within the Guiyuan Sect.

His uncle was a steward of the cultivation method hall. Once this background was revealed, the disciple of the law enforcement hall was too busy currying favor to continue to hold a grudge against Zhao Ruiling.

And so, Han Lin got through the ordeal without any real danger.

Actually, besides Han Lin and Zhao Ruiling, there is another key figure here, namely Lu Xing, the captain of the transport team.

However, Lu Xing was only deliberately making things difficult for Han Lin because he had received favors from Zhao Ruiling!

Unbeknownst to him, his actions indirectly led to the deaths of Zeng Ping and Yue Qingshan. Otherwise, the interrogation might have gone wrong.

That afternoon, the disciples of the Enforcement Hall left Galaxy Valley to return and report, and Galaxy Valley returned to peace once again.

While working.

Zhao Ruiling leaned close to Han Lin and sneered, "Han Lin, I helped you once, so you can hand over the spirit stones and points now, right?"

In Zhao Ruiling's eyes, the lives of Yue Qingshan and Zeng Ping were far less important than two hundred spirit stones.

Han Lin frowned: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Zhao Ruiling said, "Han Lin, don't pretend you don't know. Others may not know, but I know perfectly well! Can you swear you didn't kill Yue Qingshan and Zeng Ping?"

"Hmph, what's there to be afraid of?"

Han Lin said, "I will kill Zeng Ping and Yue Qingshan, may they be struck by lightning!"

After saying that, he secretly glanced at the sky and, seeing that there was no reaction, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

This behavior made Zhao Ruiling a little suspicious. Could it be that he was wrong, and that something else had happened to those two bastards, Zeng Ping?

However, his expression quickly darkened: "Han Lin, are you really a rock in a latrine? What's wrong with being friends with me? Why do you have to cling to those two hundred spirit stones?"

"It's certainly a good thing to be friends with Senior Brother Zhao, but as I said, I don't have any spirit stones on me!" Han Lin pulled the cart and was about to leave.

"Fine, fine, you're going to challenge me, huh? Okay, we'll see!" Zhao Ruiling used to say that Han Lin was a knot in his heart, but that was a lie.

But this time, he was truly troubled. From childhood to adulthood, who had ever dared to defy him like this? Especially an ugly guy with no connections.

If he can't make Han Lin submit, he's not Zhao Ruiling!

Han Lin glanced at Zhao Ruiling indifferently, too lazy to argue with him, and left with a cart full of stones. This made Zhao Ruiling so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Clang! Clang!"

"That's a wrap!"

As Han Lin dumped a truckload of gravel, the sound of a gong signaling the end of the workday rang out in the distance.

The group, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly became energetic as if they had taken some kind of tonic. They put their arms around each other's shoulders and walked towards the camp with big smiles.

Today, Lu Xing didn't make things difficult for Han Lin. He went straight back to the camp. These past few days had been hard labor, and his previously poor appetite had improved.

He ate several large bowls of food at the cafeteria before returning to his residence.

Without spirit stones these past few days, his cultivation has fallen behind. Sitting in the stone house, he frowned, wondering what to do.

After a moment, Han Lin seemed to have made a decision and got up to go outside.

Looking across the distance, there was a small hill to the east of the Milky Way Valley. The hill was about a mile or two away from the camp, and it looked pitch black under the cover of night.

But as soon as Han Lin silently recited the phrase "perceptive insight" in his mind, Xiao Shan immediately became crystal clear in his mind.

They even know exactly which locations are rich in spiritual energy and which are devoid of it.

This ability is truly amazing.

At such a distance, relying solely on divine sense would be impossible even for someone at the peak of Qi Refining, let alone someone at the second level of Qi Refining.

"There are some places in those mountains with good spiritual energy. I've been slacking off for a few days now, and I can't keep going like this. I'll go there to cultivate tonight."

Han Lin's eyes flickered slightly, then he crept to the base of the camp wall, and with a light leap, jumped over it.

A moment later, Han Lin went inside the small mountain and activated the Eye of Heaven again, quickly discovering several places rich in spiritual energy.

But these places didn't look safe, so we continued walking towards the middle of the mountain.

After searching for a while, Han Lin suddenly saw a not-so-inconspicuous cave entrance on a steep hillside ahead.

Moreover, the spiritual energy at the cave entrance was much stronger than in the other places we had passed by before.

Overjoyed, he began to climb up the hillside.

Although the hillside is not extremely high, it is almost vertical at ninety degrees, and the soil on the surface is loose and not easy to grip.

He exerted a great deal of effort and finally reached the cave entrance.

Looking inside, I found that the space was surprisingly spacious.

The spiritual energy inside the cave was much denser than what was seen outside, which made Han Lin even happier, secretly thinking that he was lucky.

He then cleared a clean area, activated the Heavenly Dharma Realm, and began his cultivation.

"Wait, something's not right?"

Having only been cultivating for a short time, Han Lin suddenly opened his eyes in great surprise.
