Jiudao River.
When Lin Ji dragged the long dragon corpse back here, Zhong Ling hurriedly greeted him.
She first looked at the charred dragon corpse with shock in her eyes, and then looked at Lin Ji in amazement.
"Dragon monsters have great magical powers. If they are ordinary monks, they have to be at a higher level to match them, and they may not be able to kill them."
Zhong Ling breathed a long sigh of relief and bowed to Lin Ji.
"Zhong Ling thanks Master Youxing for saving his life. If you weren't here today, I would definitely have no chance of defeating this demonic dragon."
"No need, you are here to investigate the case. As a Yuxing officer, it is my duty to help you."
Lin Ji threw the dragon corpse aside, then found a big tree and sat down against the trunk.
The previous dragon roar and the firm slap from the dragon claw caused some displacement of his internal organs and some damage to his meridians.
This internal injury is not too minor and will take a few days to recover.
But compared to the reward of killing a dragon, this injury is worth it.
Lin Ji took out the cause and effect book while Zhong Ling ran to summon the spirit pigeon to send a message to Xiangcheng, and added Ao Lang's name on it.
The gift from heaven fell and began to slowly repair the injuries on his body, while at the same time making the meridians in his body more active.
Feeling the spiritual energy slowly growing, Lin Ji secretly nodded with satisfaction.
"This evil dragon seems to have done a lot of evil. It is estimated that it will be able to break through to the middle stage of the fifth realm in a few days."
Although the cultivation of Yuan Shen has not kept up with the growth of cultivation level, Lin Ji can temporarily ignore these things until his cultivation level reaches the late stage of the fifth realm.
It’s better to improve your strength first.
After resting under the tree for a moment, two figures appeared in the distance.
It was Wu Nan and Zhong Xiaoyan who arrived.
It only took about an hour, a hundred miles away, but luckily they both arrived in time.
As soon as he arrived in front of Lin Ji, Wu Nan collapsed next to Lin Ji.
"Tired... I'm exhausted, little monk." He was panting.
Compared with the difficulty of enlightenment in the late third stage, Zhong Xiaoyan in the fourth stage is still full of energy.
As soon as she got close, she couldn't move her eyes away from the huge dragon corpse dozens of meters long. She looked at it for a long time before coming to Lin Ji with an unhappy look on her face.
"What's wrong? Who messed with you again?"
"Did you kill this dragon?"
"Yes." Lin Ji was slightly proud.
"It's annoying, and it's not my fault. Dragon slaying has been my dream since childhood."
Lin Ji rolled his eyes.
"Wait until your day lilies are cold! Besides, even if you were here, you wouldn't be able to get involved. This demonic dragon is so tight that I suffered a big loss."
Zhong Xiaoyan also saw that Lin Ji seemed to be injured, so she just glared at him and did not talk back to him.
However, she was secretly regretful that when she talked about her experiences in the world in the future, her achievements in slaying the demonic dragon would be missing.
Even if it's just to set fire to make soy sauce there, that's fine.
After a while, Zhong Ling came back.
"Lord You Xing, I have reported this matter to Xiangcheng...Xiaoyan?!" Zhong Ling was mid-sentence when he suddenly noticed Zhong Xiaoyan.
Zhong Xiaoyan also widened her eyes and looked at Zhong Ling in surprise.
"Sister, why are you here?"
"I still want to ask you! Aren't you competing at home to find a bride? Why did you come here?"
As he said that, Zhong Ling suddenly frowned and said suspiciously: "You didn't sneak out again, did you? Why are you following this adult?"
"This lord?" Zhong Xiaoyan looked at Lin Ji, with a hint of cunning on her face.
"Sister! What sir... This is your brother-in-law, my husband Lin Ji. I followed my husband out to do chivalry, I didn't take it out secretly!"
"Pfft!" Lin Ji just grabbed Wu Nan's water bottle and took a sip. Before he could swallow the water, he vomited it all over the floor.
He was also surprised by the news that Zhong Ling was the eldest daughter who was sent to Taiyi Sect by the Zhong family.
Why did the topic suddenly turn to him, and it was so outrageous.
Zhong Ling's voice also suddenly rose in pitch.
"What?!"
Looking at Zhong Ling's scrutinizing gaze, Lin Ji looked at Zhong Xiaoyan again quite speechlessly.
He was about to open his mouth to explain, but as he spoke, Zhong Xiaoyan suddenly came over and put her arms around him.
"Xiaoyan, you..."
"If you dare to dismantle me, you will be dead!" Zhong Xiaoyan whispered.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji immediately chose to remain silent.
Zhong Xiaoyan held Lin Ji's arm tightly and looked at Zhong Ling with a smile.
"Sister, who is better, Lin Ji or my brother-in-law?"
Zhong Ling's face turned ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
She opened her mouth to say something, but when she subconsciously looked at Lin Ji, she remembered what Lin Ji had done before, so she was speechless for a moment.
After a long time, she said with some reluctance: "No...it's equal."
"Really? Why haven't I heard about my brother-in-law's dragon-slaying incident? With your Taiyi Sect's approach, if something big happens, it will already be known to the whole world."
Zhong Ling was speechless and could only stare fiercely at Zhong Xiaoyan.
Lin Jize asked curiously: "Who is your brother-in-law..."
"Xu Dingtian, the contemporary chief disciple of Taiyi Sect, who has a louder name, is definitely not as powerful as you." Zhong Xiaoyan said proudly, like a wife who feels proud because of her husband.
For a moment, Lin Ji couldn't tell whether she was acting or not.
However, Lin Ji was a little surprised when he heard Xu Dingtian's name.
"Are you Xu Dingtian's wife?" He looked at Zhong Ling in surprise.
"Well, Senior Brother Xu is my Taoist companion." Zhong Ling nodded and said.
Lin Ji slapped his forehead. He had never been in a sect and spent all day hanging out in the secular world. He had forgotten that they were Taoist couples, not husband and wife.
Although he took off his pants and farted, the name is indeed different.
Lin Ji casually talked about dealing with Xu Dingtian in the ruins. When he learned that Lin Ji and his Taoist companion also knew each other, the sense of isolation between them disappeared a lot.
Wu Nan realized that he couldn't get in the conversation, so he began to dissect the dragon corpse on the side.
Not long after, Wu Nan found Lin Ji.
"Donor Lin..."
"What's wrong?"
"The dragon skin and dragon blood have been collected. This is the demon dragon's inner elixir."
"You're quite fast."
Wu Nan rolled his eyes.
"The fox skins and demon pills from last time are still in the inn. There are too many things to take with us. We have to find a place to sell the stolen goods... Bah, it's not selling the stolen goods, it's selling."
Hearing this, Lin Ji looked at the neatly folded dragon skin, which was still as tall as several people, and felt helpless for a moment.
Zhong Ling on the side suggested: "This place is not far from Taiyi City. If you want to sell these things, you might as well go there and have a look."
Taiyi City is the monk market outside Taiyi Gate. Generally speaking, it is the largest monk trading market in Xiangzhou.
"Then let's go to Taiyi City to have a look. We'll go back to Leize County first and pick up all our luggage."
Lin Ji also wanted to see the legendary Taiyi City and inquire about the unknown pills he harvested in the ruins last time.
Lin Ji also wanted to find out what these elixirs were.
