Chapter 331: Failed Arrangement
Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, Master Poda laughed, "Hehehe, you worry too much. The person who injured me is indeed powerful, but he won't come to your Yunzhou. It would take him at least a hundred years to control our Lanzhou."
"What do you mean?" Lin Qing asked curiously.
Master Poda glanced at Lin Qing and shook his head, saying, "Although I don't know why someone with a Gold Core like you would be in this remote place, I don't mind explaining briefly. The cultivation world is divided into nine continents, do you know that?"
"I've heard a little about it," Lin Qing replied. He hadn't been to other continents because of the Endless Sea, but he had heard that the cultivation world was indeed divided into nine continents, with Yunzhou being just one of them.
"That's good. Let me explain briefly. I come from Lanzhou, one of the nine continents. Even if two continents are adjacent, it took me more than half a month to fly here. Putting that aside, although Lanzhou is not as powerful as the central continent, we still have considerable strength. As for your Yunzhou, it is far inferior to us. You don't even have a Nascent Soul cultivator. It's truly barren."
Although Master Poda had been digressing from the main topic, Lin Qing was interested in hearing about other continents.
However, Master Poda didn't continue, saying, "Alright, to put it simply, there is a conflict between the righteous and demonic forces in Lanzhou. The righteous faction I belong to was temporarily defeated and wiped out, leaving only me to escape. But those demonic cultivators won't waste time on just one person like me. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Looking at Master Poda, Lin Qing remained silent for a moment before asking a question, "Righteous and demonic? What is considered righteous and what is considered demonic?"
Master Poda was momentarily taken aback by Lin Qing's question. He looked at Lin Qing with deep meaning and then said, "Rest assured, I am definitely not a demonic cultivator. Otherwise, I would have already slaughtered your Lin family. As for what is considered righteous and what is considered demonic, it's natural for those who cultivate righteous techniques to be considered righteous, and those who cultivate demonic techniques to be considered demonic. There's nothing more to say. But from what I know, it seems that your Yunzhou hasn't seen a decent demonic sect yet, but it could also be because it's too barren."
Lin Qing nodded. It was true that only some demonic cultivation techniques circulated in Yunzhou, and there was no true demonic sect in the real sense.
Although Lin Qing didn't fully believe Master Poda's words, he felt somewhat relieved. However, a new question arose that puzzled him.
"You said you come from Lanzhou. Is Lanzhou adjacent to my Lin family's direction?"
It was understandable for Lin Qing to ask such a question. After all, if they were adjacent, it would be quite dangerous.
"Hehehe!" Master Poda let out a mischievous laugh like a little ghost.
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Let me tell you, Lanzhou is adjacent to what you call Lower Yunzhou. You guys are really strange, dividing Yunzhou into upper, middle, and lower. You really lack knowledge. Putting that aside, when I arrived at Lower Yunzhou, although I was confident that those demonic cultivators wouldn't come after me, I still took precautions and came directly to Upper Yunzhou, which is opposite to Lower Yunzhou. Your Lin family's settlement is the most remote and not far from the sea. In case something happens, I can easily escape. Do you understand? You really have a lot of questions."
"I see!"
After listening to Master Poda's words, Lin Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still felt uneasy about having someone at the mid-stage of the Gold Core residing in his Lin family's settlement.
"What's wrong? I've paid the rent. If you want me to leave, I don't mind having a fight. I just don't know who would be stronger between us."
Lin Qing didn't answer. This was really difficult. Although this person was injured, he was able to cross the sea to come here, indicating that he was not simple. Although Lin Qing's strength had improved, he was probably no match for him. Moreover, if they really fought, his Lin family's settlement would suffer.
"Hiss~"
Lin Qing took a deep breath. "Fellow Daoist, I hope you won't do anything foolish. Otherwise, I will never let you go in this lifetime. I hope you understand."
"Hehe, don't worry."
When Lin Qing's tone softened, the Bag Master smiled again and said.
Lin Qing glanced at the Bag Master again, knowing that this was the only way. Lin Qing smiled at the Bag Master and returned the same way.
Seeing Lin Qing leave, the Bag Master breathed a sigh of relief, but then his expression changed. His injuries had flared up again, and it wasn't as easy as it seemed just now.
In the following days, Lin Qing thought about this matter several times, but he couldn't come up with a good solution. The Bag Master was unwilling to leave, and Lin Qing didn't know how to handle the situation.
It seemed that the Bag Master was seriously injured and wouldn't leave on his own for a while.
"It seems that I can only set up a Soul Binding Restriction to deal with the enemy. This is the only method I have now to control this person," Lin Qing thought to himself. The only thing in front of him was this restriction.
Fortunately, after years of effort, he was quite confident in successfully setting it up.
A month later, in a remote area on the outskirts of the Lin family's mountain, Lin Qing's face was gloomy.
Looking at the originally blue pill in his hand, which had now turned completely black, Lin Qing sighed deeply. The Soul Binding Restriction had failed to be set up.
At first, everything was fine. With twelve years of research experience and his own spiritual consciousness comparable to the mid-stage of the Gold Core, everything went smoothly.
But!
When he tried to integrate the pill into the restriction, everything went wrong.
Not only was the pill ruined, but the materials that had already been set up also lost their spirituality and couldn't be used anymore.
Now that he calmed down and thought about it, Lin Qing had some idea of the reason.
It wasn't his fault, but rather the fault of this pill. When he was in the Coldwater Abyss, Lin Qing felt that the octopus demon was not cultivated to the Gold Core stage on its own, but was artificially created.
But when he killed the octopus demon and found the pill inside, Lin Qing forgot about it.
Now it seemed that the pill looked fine on the surface, but it had serious problems. It was not surprising that the restriction failed when using such a problematic pill.
Lin Qing looked at the pill in his hand and wanted to throw it away, but he still kept it.
At this moment, he thought about setting up the Soul Binding Restriction again. After this failure, Lin Qing would definitely have to set it up again.
And he would need to gather the materials for this restriction again.
Other materials were relatively easy to find. He could send the younger generation of the family to search for them. With the current size of the Lin family, although some materials were precious, they could still be found. But as for the main material, the Gold Core demon beast's pill, it would be difficult to find.
There were no Gold Core demon beasts in the Upper Cloud Region, and there were only a few in the Middle Cloud Region, making them hard to come by. Killing one to obtain its pill was a headache even for Lin Qing.
This failed attempt at setting up the restriction, along with the fact that Tian Sa Dao Ren was already an enemy and the Bag Master had become a potential enemy, made Lin Qing's mood turn sour.
After a long time, Lin Qing sighed and realized that he would have to search for materials with all his might in the future. After all, he was extremely familiar with the Soul Binding Restriction, and it had a certain success rate in setting it up. Not to mention the time it would take to set up other restrictions, the materials for them were also harder to find compared to the Soul Binding Restriction.
