Chapter 162: Long Yin Forest

Sui Wenyan shrugged her shoulder. "It's just 40,000 gold coins."

"That's not just."

Looking at the fact that there were a lot of people running about Mercenary Association, he knew that they were all trying to find money. For most people, this was an astronomical sum.

There were not many people who were capable to earn that much money in such a short period of time. And then to use that much money for transportation alone could make people feel heartache.

"The distance is very far from the examination location," Sui Wenyan said leisurely. "if you can't pay this much, it meant that you're not capable. Becoming a mercenary is an easy way to earn money."

Thinking about the missions they took, Lin Xiao had to admit that he had earned hundreds of thousands of golds just from missions alone. However, most of the money were used up again to buy herbs and to participate in the auction. Last month, they participated and bought some important herbs that was necessary for their cultivation.

Wenren Yu was obviously the one in charge for making medicine with Lin Yun helping out here and there. There was still some difference in skill between the two of them, but they were equally capable when it came to make ordinary medicine or pills that they could sell back for money.

"Cultivation needs more than just money," Lin Xiao murmured.

The one thing that pained him the most was the fact that 10,000 gold coins could be exchanged for one spirit stones. While not everyone wanted to exchange it, finding some who would want to do the trade was easy. There were a lot of cultivators in this place who might need money more than spirit stones.

"if we got accepted, we don't need to worry that much."

"Yes?"

"You don't need to pay for transportation fees to the academy."

Lin Xiao: "…"

The perquisite would be that they have to get accepted. However, Lin Xiao himself was confident that he would be able to pass the test.

"Next!"

The people at the front instructed them to move forward and the people began to move. Lin Xiao watched from the back with interest. The room was spacious and there were several drawings on the floor that he couldn't understand the use. However, the faint movement of Qi in the air helped him to realize that it was what helped them to transport to a faraway distance.

A strange expression formed in his face. This was the first time Lin Xiao ever seen transportation runes and his opinion of that item was that it was so strange and weird. If he had to say, he would never think of something like that as transportation device if only he didn't see the person disappear at the top of the drawing.

Sui Wenyan was calmer. She had seen teleportation device several times back in Taiyi Sect. While the word device might not be suitable to describe the item in front of them, it was still the one that they used to say that. Sometimes, they simply said it as Teleportation Runes, though.

"Next!"

It was Lin Xiao and his friend's turn. Paying the price, Lin Xiao stood in the center and looked at the runes around him curiously.

The guard arched his eyebrows. "Don't move when the runes are activated."

With that warning, Lin Xiao stood like a statue. However, his eyes were still looking at the runes below him. It was clear that he was very interested in them, yet there was no way he could possibly study them without any guidance like this. He had no experience studying regarding the runes in the past and didn't even have the basic knowledge.

Not everyone could learn about runes. Those without talent would only waste their times doing nothing without any result whatsoever.

Swish!

There was only faint dizziness and Lin Xiao realized that the view before him had changed considerably. He was now standing in the forest with several people walking around him. The tall trees and the rich Qi in the surroundings told him that he was not in Feng Yi City anymore.

"This…"

"Welcome to Long Yin City," Sui Wenyan said with a grin. Her hand, that was holding the zither, clenched tightly. The surge of Qi in this place was the most suitable for them to train, but there was no way the people who were staying here would let them train in peace.

"Move. There will be more people who come."

"Ah."

Lin Xiao hopped forward then looked down. It turned out that the two runes were connected to each other, thus allowing them to move from one place to another. It was very interesting.

'You like this kind of low level runes?'

'Low level? To be able to transport the entire body of a person means that it shouldn't be that low, right?' Lin Xiao was stunned. After he had gotten stronger, Lin Hu often talked to him without any warning.

Since Lin Hu would be one stage above Lin Xiao, it meant that Lin Hu was already Foundation Establishment. Since his Qi was above Lin Xiao, he could establish connection whenever he wanted unless Lin Xiao blocked him completely since Lin Xiao is his master.

'True teleportation runes will not require another runes at the edge of it. Too bad that the development of runes has been decreasing over the past several hundred years,' LIn Hu said with a bitter tone.

Lin Xiao was stunned then he thought about something. 'Right, I never asked this to you. How old are you, Lin Hu?'

'Hmm? I never counted. Probably a few thousand?'

Thousands?

Lin Xiao now felt as if he was talking to a relic. He looked at Lin Hu in his consciousness and pondered whether it was a good decision to ask him about his age. It felt as if he was just an infant in front of Lin Hu.

"What are you looking at?"
