Fairy, return my flying sword to me

Chapter 37 If She Dies, I Won’t Live

"There's nothing we can do. We are suffering as independent cultivators..."

"Stop! I said stop!" Seeing that the old man in the Jindan stage was about to complain like a miserable young wife, Lin Jian hurriedly stopped him.

He knew the destination might be far away, but he never imagined it would be this far.

What takes a day on a flying boat would take several days for a cultivator flying a sword.

After all, if one were a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage like himself, there would be no way for him to fly continuously at the highest speed for a whole day.

The world of immortal cultivation is huge.

I have always known this, but this is the first time I have connected it with specific knowledge.

If it were the original world before I traveled through time, where would the plane go after flying all day?

But now, it is only the internal transportation of one state.

As the name suggests, there are nine realms in total in the Lower Nine Realms, and under the nine realms there are several to dozens of states.

For example, the seventh realm where Lin Jian is located has a total of six states including Longxiong State. Each state has several large sects, as well as many medium-sized sects including Zhengyang Sect where Lin Jian is located, and countless smaller sects.

Lin Jian finally understood the true meaning of the saying that ordinary cultivators may never be able to leave a state in their entire life.

The world of cultivating immortals is really too big.

"Since I've already agreed to help, can't you show me the recipe in advance? Give me some more time to think about it. Maybe the success rate will be higher."

Lin Jian mentioned it once when we were just going down the mountain together.

But the other party used the excuse of being in a hurry to catch the boat and glossed over it.

At that time, he just thought that the other party was afraid that the rare resource of the elixir formula would be easily exposed. After all, the elixir formula that could expel the evil spirit from the human body might be really precious.

But now that I'm on the other side's pirate ship, I can't just keep hiding it, right?

Hearing this, the old man smiled ingratiatingly yet awkwardly, "Master Alchemist, it's not that I don't want to show it to you, but I don't have the recipe!"

"Ok?"

"To be honest, this recipe actually belongs to a small sect near our country's capital. However, they don't have any outstanding alchemists in their temple. Therefore, they only have the recipe but are unable to refine it."

"Before we were sent out to look for him, the abbot of the temple had warned us that the exorcism formula shouldn't be easily stolen by those with bad intentions. Once I find the alchemist, I'll be sure to bring him to the temple for their review before giving him the formula."

"Of course I believe that you, sir, are a good person, and the masters in the temple are probably just being cautious."

"The only thing I know about the recipe is that the ingredients are extremely rare, and you might only have one or two opportunities to practice. That's why I wanted to ask you for help when I saw you refine a third-grade Spiritual Enlightenment Pill at the last alchemy conference with just one ingredient."

Lin Jian nodded in understanding.

That makes sense.

He had never heard of a recipe for a pill that could expel the evil spirit that had already entered the body before, and if Chunxue hadn't told him about it, he wouldn't have believed it.

This kind of recipe should be precious. It is kind of the other party to be willing to give it for free. It is normal to want to see the character of the alchemist first.

Just go, I'm not a person with evil intentions.

After figuring out the general cause of the matter, Lin Jian no longer had any doubts.

He returned to his private cabin on the ship, took some Spirit Root Creation Pills, and began to meditate and practice.

Even when you are away from home, you should not neglect your practice.

Haruyuki leaned against the window, looking at the scenery outside with great interest and curiosity.

This female swordsman, who is theoretically extremely powerful, seems to have little experience... It may also be that the primitiveness of the Lower Nine Realms is beyond her imagination.

It's like a little princess from uptown arriving at a small street in downtown, wanting to try even the grimy street vendors to see what they taste like. ...

The flying boat roared across the sky, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.

In the first rays of dawn, a not-so-grand city appeared in the woods.

This is the capital of the Kingdom of Baoliuli.

The golden city walls guard the people behind them in the sunshine, and the guards proudly straighten their chests and examine every pedestrian entering and leaving the city gate.

The wars between mortal dynasties in the world of immortal cultivation are not fierce, and most conflicts can be settled by the immortal cultivators in a few words.

Therefore, their walls are rarely used, and most of them are not for defense against humans.

More importantly, it is to defend against wild beasts... and monsters.

The old man turned around and led the two men to another direction outside the city. "Sir, please follow me. The abbot of the temple has been waiting for us."

"You've been away for so long, don't you need to go back and check on your princess? What if she's already dead?"

I had just arrived in the forest, and the first thing I wanted to do was to check on the situation of the real owner.

Instead of trusting a small, unconventional sect in some unknown corner, it is better to trust the eyes of the female swordsman next to you.

Even though she is down and out now, her eyesight should still be there.

Haruyuki's eyes are the ruler!
If something cannot be done, it is better to run away before the situation becomes complicated.

"Master, you're right!" The lively servant who had been following the old man was excited when he heard this. He clapped his hands and said, "Master, you're right! What if the princess is already dead? Then wouldn't our efforts to find those bald donkeys be in vain?!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The old man slapped the boy on the head. "You are the only one who wants to create chaos in the world!"

He turned around and looked at the forest with a flattering smile, "Your Excellency is right! I was not thoughtful enough! I am old and my brain is not working well. Fortunately, Your Excellency reminded me, otherwise I might have made a wasted trip. Please come this way..."

There were many people on the road, and the four of them followed the crowd into the city.

Seeing the old man coming, the soldiers guarding the city bowed in unison and saluted, "Greetings, Imperial Master!"

In front of outsiders, the old man Jindan looked dignified. "No need for formalities. Send someone to tell the king as fast as possible that I have returned with the invited alchemist."

Leaving the city gate and arriving at a secluded spot, the old man immediately bowed and led the way. "My lord, I have already sent someone to inform him. The king will surely come as soon as possible to arrange for you to meet the princess."

as predicted.

Following the old man, the four of them had a smooth journey.

Entering the inner courtyard of the palace, two elegant middle-aged men and women were already waiting there anxiously, pacing back and forth.

As soon as he saw the national teacher and his men coming, the middle-aged man in the lead immediately strode forward to greet them.

Lin Jian hadn't even seen the other person's face clearly when he heard the voice that should have been majestic and clear, but with a trembling tone and a sense of urgency, "Master Alchemist, please save my daughter!"

"She is our only daughter. You must save her!"

"If she dies, her mother will surely die of grief. If her mother dies of grief, I won't be able to survive either. If I die, our country will be in chaos. When that happens, the whole country will be in turmoil, and millions of people will be displaced and their families will be torn apart..."

no no!

Lin Jian's eyes widened.

This hasn't even started yet, and you're already putting moral pressure on me?

...It seems they really love their daughter!
