After I cultivated immortality, I discussed the theory of lifespan with a long-lived spirit.

Chapter 78 The kind-hearted senior herbalist is distributing opportunities.

Night falls, and all is quiet, both above and below. A cold wind whistles under the moonlight. The trees stretch endlessly, creating a deep and tranquil atmosphere.

The four found an open space near the trade route and quickly set up their tent.

Flora observed her surroundings and said:

"The environment in this forest is complicated, so we'd better not light a fire in the end to avoid attracting monsters."

Lin Er nodded and replied:

"Let's take turns keeping watch tonight."

Talia immediately spoke up:

"Senior brother, why don't the two of us keep watch tonight? You two can get some rest."

Keller echoed this sentiment.

Lin Er was indeed feeling somewhat tired after being chased by the water elemental, but he dared not be careless.

"Alright, I'll summon a little guy."

After saying that, he released the water demon.

The water sprite has a pale blue, transparent body and a very lifelike appearance.

Talia's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly walked over, wanting to pat her head.

"Senior brother, is this the water elemental you summoned? It's so cute."

The water sprite dodged Talia's hand with lightning speed, hiding directly behind Lin'er, grabbing his clothes and peeking out with a vicious hissing sound.

Seeing this, Lin Er patted the water fairy's head, which calmed her down, and she affectionately rubbed against Lin Er's hand.

Talia was both annoyed and amused. She stared intently at the water sprite and murmured:

"Senior brother, your water elemental is very strange. I can't sense what level it is."

Upon hearing this, Lin Er glanced at the water demon. He only knew that her cultivation had reached the late stage of Qi Refining, which was higher than his own, so he couldn't determine her rank.

"Tonight, I'll have her keep watch with you."

"That's great."

Talia almost cheered with joy.

At this moment, Flora pointed at the water sprite and asked:

Does this water elemental have a name?

Lin Er shook his head. Although the water sprite was a bit dull, it still had some intelligence. Calling it a water elemental would be confusing.

He pondered for a moment, then said, "Let's call her Shuiyue."

Shuiyue looked at Lin'er blankly, not understanding the meaning of those two words; after all, her intelligence was still insufficient.

Lin Er immediately issued an order, instructing Shuiyue to help keep watch at night.

Shuiyue immediately released him, walked happily to the camp exit, stood obediently, and looked warily outside the camp.

Lin Er and Flora then set up some spike traps near the camp. Now that Talia and the others were keeping watch, they could relax a little.

He returned to his tent without taking out the Spirit Gathering Array Diagram to set it up, since it wasn't safe enough to operate the Great Circulation here.

Lin Er then sat cross-legged and circulated his energy through the microcosmic orbit, refining some spiritual energy before hastily falling asleep.

I don't know how much time has passed.

He vaguely sensed a warm breath, very close at hand.

Just then, another exclamation rang in my ears.

"Senior brother, something bad has happened! A lizard-like demi-human has come up outside."

Lin Er woke up instantly. He opened his eyes and saw Flora sleeping right next to him.

At this moment, Flora also got up from the carpet, her eyes filled with fatigue.

"Walk."

After saying that, Lin Er jumped up from the carpet, drew his sword, and rushed out of the tent.

A quick glance revealed that, under the moonlight, flames were raging around the camp, and a dozen strange figures had already crept in.

Shuiyue exhaled a breath of icy mist, sealing off an area. With a slight lift of her hand, she flung out a string of ice spikes, instantly punching several holes in the chest of a lizard-like demi-human.

Seeing this, Lin Er released his flying sword. The sword blade emitted a silver light under the moonlight, leaving a silver line in its wake, which was exceptionally dazzling.

"A magical weapon!"

The lizard-like demi-humans present were all greatly alarmed, and each raised their shields as if facing a formidable enemy.

Lin Er activated his sword technique, pointed his finger, and the flying sword, like a silver thread, flew into the lizard-like demi-humans like lightning.

Instantly, five or six lizard-like demi-humans were cleaved in two, their shields fell to the ground, and their bodies collapsed heavily.

In the blink of an eye, nearly half of the dozen or so lizard-like beings were gone, and the remaining ones were all terrified. Someone shouted something.

"Run away!"

These lizard-like beings threw down their heavy shields and scattered in all directions.

Lin Er stood still, his face calm.

In mid-air, the flying sword trailed a silver thread as it chased after the flying sword; how could two legs outrun a flying creature?

In just a few seconds, the fleeing lizard-like beings were either beheaded or cut in half at the waist.

At this moment, Lin Er leaped out and came to a distance of several dozen meters, his gaze falling on a lizard-like demi-human on the ground.

This lizard-like creature wore studded leather armor and wielded a very sharp steel knife.

Just now, when the lizard-like demi-human was fleeing for his life, he actually chose to cover the rear and blocked an attack from a flying sword.

Seeing that he appeared to be the leader of the lizard-like beings, Lin Er only cut off his legs and did not kill him on the spot.

When the lizard-like demi-human "Sharp Eyes" saw Lin Er approaching, he struggled to crawl backward, revealing rows of small, sharp teeth through his reptilian mouth.

"Kill me, I won't say anything."

"You're a warrior too, I'll give you a quick death."

Sharp eyes were slightly taken aback, before he could react.

Lin Er grabbed Rui Mu by the neck and lifted him up.

The Soul Searching Technique was activated instantly.

When Rui Mu saw Lin Er's sinister eyes, he was immediately frozen in place, and his expression became blank.

Lin Er felt a resistance, which was much more difficult than the last time he searched the soul.

After a while, the door to sharp-eyed memory was finally opened.

"They came here to gather goblins..."

Lin Er continued flipping through the pages, his sharp memories returning to the Fog Bone Nest.

A few days ago, the four generals suddenly left, and Chief Kolo began to gather his troops, summoning many of the lizard-like beings who were away.

At the same time, Kolo distributed a potion, claiming it would enhance strength, but the lizard subhumans knew very well that this potion had a high mortality rate, and many people who drank it died instantly from their bodies exploding.

Ruimu was afraid of being captured and experimented on, so he made an excuse to go out, which is how he met Lin Er and the others.

[Through soul searching, you learned that an experienced cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage is refining a spiritual medicine. This medicine, when taken internally by Qi Refining cultivators, can not only significantly enhance their cultivation level but is also one of the ingredients for Foundation Establishment Pills.]

Currently, a kind-hearted senior herbalist is providing spiritual herbs for free, causing great joy among cultivators from all walks of life who flock to seize this opportunity.

"This senior medicine cultivator isn't referring to Kolo, is he?"

Lin Er's lips twitched. If he went over to seize the opportunity, he would probably be walking into a trap.

Wait a minute... He seems to have a transformation talisman. Now that he has obtained a lot of memories about the lizard demi-humans through soul searching, it doesn't seem that difficult to infiltrate.

Lin Er continued searching the soul, and suddenly a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"This sharp-eyed guy knows of three goblin strongholds, with about two hundred goblins. It seems like he's really going to make a fortune this time."
