After leaving the Shang Clan's shop, Wang Lin gave Li Dannan 10 high quality spirit stones and walked out of Ming Mei City.
The Shang Clan's shop did indeed have snow ink, but the price was ridiculously high. Wang Lin calculated that even if he added up all the spirit stones he had, he would only be able to get two taels of snow ink.
This kind of price was outside of Wang Lin's expectations.
He didn't think that snow ink would be one of the top materials in the cultivation world.
"It's naturally extremely simple for ancient gods to traverse one planet after another to search for this snow ink. But to cultivators, this snow ink is too rare. Listening to the meaning of that woman's words, this item is the best item to nourish Qi Qi's primordial spirit. If there's even a little bit of snow ink during possession, it can speed up the fusion of the primordial spirit by several times.
"Even when the origin soul leaves the body, if there is a bit of snow ink in the mouth, the origin soul won't dissipate. Even if the origin soul is seriously injured, it can still return to the body."
Wang Lin's eyes lit up. He found a cliff outside of Ming Mei City and sat down. His divine sense spread out and he silently called out to Situ Nan.
Shortly after, Situ Nan sent a reply.
"Ming Mei City, Shang Clan's shop. I want snow ink!"
Wang Lin sent out a message.
Situ Nan immediately laughed and cut off the connection.
There was a total of nine cities on this trade planet. In three days of time, a heaven-shaking piece of news spread like wildfire.
Heaven and Earth City was robbed by a mysterious person. This person's eyes were very high, and the things he chose were often the best treasures of the shops. Even those shops with powerful backgrounds were robbed.
Even the city lord's mansion was robbed!
If it was just one city, it wouldn't be a big deal. However, on the third night, all nine cities, including Ming Mei City, were robbed by this mysterious person.
This person's cultivation level was very high, so even when surrounded by many cultivators, he was still able to deal with them with ease.
In the end, a total of five Ascendant cultivators from the nine cities joined forces in anger to kill this person. This battle caused everyone to be shocked by the mysterious robber.
All five Ascendant cultivators were defeated!
The mysterious person calmly left.
Only the legendary Nirvana Shatterer stage and the Ethereal and Corporeal stage could reach this level of cultivation!
As such, wherever this person went, he was like a locust swarm. No one dared to provoke him, no one dared to stop him.
During these three days, Wang Lin sat on top of the cliff, gazing in the direction of Ming Mei City. On the third day, when the moon was high up in the sky, Wang Lin's lips curved into a smile. He slapped his bag of holding and took out a straw hat to wear.
In the distance, a figure dashed over like lightning. Behind him were countless cultivators that seemed to cover the sky as they chased after him.
In the midst of the pursuit, there were eight people who were extremely fast, leaving everyone else behind as they chased relentlessly.
"Haha, you little brats, I'm not a girl, why are you chasing me? If you piss me off, I'll go and rob you again!" Situ Nan laughed maniacally.
When he passed by the cliff that Wang Lin was on, Situ Nan's right hand reached out and a powerful force surrounded Wang Lin. Wang Lin turned into a meteor and arrived next to Situ Nan.
Situ Nan touched his bag of holding and laughed. "I've gained a lot. Let's go!" With that, he quickly left with Wang Lin.
"Mad thief, stay!" Behind Si Tu Nan, angry roars could be heard.
"What are you talking about? Unless I'm stupid, how could I obediently stay as you say? However, I'll learn from you once. Listen up, brats, don't chase!"
Situ Nan let out an arrogant laugh as he brought Wang Lin with him. They broke through the atmosphere on the planet and turned into two rays of light that shot into the stars.
"The shops on this trade planet have a very deep background. If they send out experts, it'll be troublesome for me to deal with them. I'll take advantage of this short time to rob them. Ye Wuyou and I often did this kind of thing!" Situ Nan was very proud of himself. After they left the stars, Wang Lin called out his star compass and the two of them sped away.
The people on the trade planet had to give up after chasing for a while. After all, there weren't many people who had a star compass. Plus, the other party's cultivation was too strong. If they forced themselves to catch him, they would only be throwing their lives away.
"Did you get my snow ink?"
Wang Lin licked his lips. Although he wasn't directly involved in this matter, he was the one who asked for the snow ink, so he could be considered an indirect accomplice.
Situ Nan laughed and took out a small bottle from his bag of holding. He threw it to Wang Lin and said, "For you, there's about two or three ounces in there."
After throwing the bottle, Situ Nan quickly checked the spoils in his bag of holding. As he looked, a proud smile appeared on his face.
"Haha, not bad. What I got this time is many times more than before!"
Wang Lin caught it, scanned it with his divine sense, and pondered a bit.
"This kind of robbing is not bad. If there's a chance in the future, I'll rob one as well!" Wang Lin made up his mind.
The starry sky was not completely dark. Sometimes, one would be able to see gorgeous and colorful strange objects. The beauty of those objects would usually cause one's heart to tremble with a single glance.
Half a month later, what appeared in front of Wang Lin was a bright nebula that looked like a giant jellyfish. Situ Nan looked at the nebula and sighed, "Wang Lin, I have to leave …"
Wang Lin was silent as he stared at the bright nebula. He asked, "Do you have enough treasures?"
Situ Nan laughed and said, "Not quite enough, but I'll kill my way there and rob as I go. Once I reach my destination, it will be enough!"
With that, he pointed at the nebula and said, "Ye Wuyou and I have seen this nebula before. We split up, and the place I'm going to is very far from planet Tian Yun. We'll split up and head to our destination!"
As Situ Nan spoke, he slapped his bag of holding and a ray of white light flew out. The white light turned into a giant sword of light. Situ Nan's body flickered and he stood on top of the sword of light. He looked back at Wang Lin and said,
"Wang Lin, you're not familiar with planet Tian Yun, so you have to be cautious!
However, you can't ruin the pride of a Suzaku cultivator. If you really can't do it, then come find me on planet Feng Luan!
With me here, no one will dare to mess with you! "
Wang Lin looked at the nebula but still didn't look at Situ Nan. He nodded and said, "You have to be careful. If you really can't do it, then come find me on planet Tian Yun. With me here, no one will dare to touch you!"
Situ Nan laughed and said, "Good, Wang Lin. Fine, if I ever run into trouble, I'll come find you. However, if your temple is small, I won't go. No matter what, you have to create a sect in the Tian Yun Sect. When the time comes, I'll be your head elder!"
With that, Situ Nan took a deep breath and looked at Wang Lin again. For the first time, he softly said, "Wang Lin, take care!" With that, the sword of light under his feet turned into a ray of light and disappeared.
"Situ, take care!"
Wang Lin turned around and looked at where Situ Nan disappeared. In this vast space, he was the only one left. He stood on the star compass and silently watched.
After a long time, Wang Lin let out a sigh and felt a sense of melancholy in his heart. Ever since he stepped onto the path of cultivation, Situ Nan had been with him.
Although Situ Nan was asleep most of the time, Wang Lin could clearly feel Situ Nan's existence through the Heaven Defying Bead.
In his eyes, Situ Nan was no different from his teacher!
This is a true farewell, and the melancholy in Wang Lin's heart is very strong. "
I wonder if we'll ever meet again in this life … "Wang Lin silently stood there for a long time. He waved his sleeves, knelt down on the star compass, and kowtowed three times toward where Situ Nan disappeared.
"In this life, I, Wang Lin, will not worship the heavens or the gods. I will only worship my parents and Situ Nan …" Wang Lin stood up and suppressed the melancholy in his heart. With a shake of the star compass, he flew off into the distance.
His direction and Situ Nan's direction, one to the east and the other to the west, were getting further and further away.
After Wang Lin left, a white light flashed where the two of them separated. Situ Nan's figure stood on top of the white light. He looked at Wang Lin and let out a sigh.
"Without cruel training, there is no way to become a true cultivator. Wang Lin, back then, I brought you onto the demonic path because it is the most suitable path for survival. After your clone, you walked out of the demonic path and found your own path. I can no longer be by your side because our paths are different. The Old Man is a demon, both inside and out, he is a demon!"
Situ Nan looked meaningfully at where Wang Lin disappeared and muttered to himself, "Little friend, have a safe journey!"
He let out a sigh and disappeared with the white light … Space itself was very big, and if it wasn't for the star map, he would have gotten lost in space and would have been trapped for the rest of his life.
Back then, Tian Yunzi left a copy of the star map for Wang Lin. The map was very detailed and clearly showed the path from Planet Suzaku to Planet Tian Yun.
Wang Lin sat on the star compass and quickly moved forward. Along the way, he didn't stay idle; he used the void wood stone and snow ink to refine the star compass using the refining method from the ancient god's inheritance.
Although his speed wasn't fast, he was still refining the star compass.
At this moment, the star compass was completely enveloped by a green light. Within this green light, one could vaguely see substances that looked like tree branches intersecting with each other, densely intertwining with the star compass.
This was the mysterious substance formed by the void wood stone.
This process lasted for three months!
Three months of time only caused the fusion of the void wood stone and the star compass to reach a small state.
Every time the god refined a treasure, it would take a lot of time. Ancient gods had no concept of time, and each refinement would often take 100 years.
Even a 9-star ancient god could spend 1,000 years in the blink of an eye to refine a treasure.
Wang Lin calculated the time. If this continued, he feared that the star compass wouldn't be complete by the time he reached planet Tian Yun. After pondering for a bit, he gave up on fusing with the star compass. Using Xiao Wei's state, he added the snow ink to begin the final refinement.
Several more months passed by in a flash.
On this day...
