Chapter 272: The Deep Pit

Zhang Shun quickly returned with a storage bag.

He said: "Sir, I'm sorry, but there is no medicinal material in it."

Lin Yi's eyelids twitched, it couldn't be it.

Zhang Shun continued: "This medicinal material is out of stock recently. If you want it, you may have to wait for a while."

Hearing what Zhang Shun said, Lin Yi's suspicions were confirmed.

Lin Yi asked: "Lotus root?"

Zhang Shun nodded, "Sir, this medicinal material is not available in the entire Xingyue City. If you don't believe it, you can go to other pharmacies in Xingyue City and ask."

Lin Yi asked not long ago and knew that there are very few lotus roots now.

I didn't expect it to be completely absent now.

Lin Yi finished paying the spirit stones and walked out of the Treasure Pavilion.

Without lotus roots, it was impossible to refine the Ebony Pill. Lin Yi had no choice but to try his luck.

Maybe other drug stores have a small amount of lotus roots.

But after visiting many pharmacies, they all shook their heads and said there were no lotus roots.

Lin Yi still refused to give up. After spending several hours and visiting almost all the medicine shops in Xingyue City, Lin Yi knew that it was impossible to buy lotus roots.

When Lin Yi was at a loss and depressed.

Suddenly I thought of the monk last time. There were still a lot of lotus roots at the location recorded in the jade slip.

Is it possible to get it there? Without the lotus root, you cannot refine the Ebony Pill, and you cannot practice the body-training technique.

Lin Yi no longer hesitated and headed towards the gate of Xingyue City.

That location is not within Xingyue City.

In an unknown mountain range, Lin Yi didn't know much about that mountain range.

Since coming to Xingyue City, I have basically been in Xingyue City.

The only time I left Xingyue City was when I went to Fangshi.

At the city gate, Lin Yi did not see Know-How. Maybe he was providing help to other monks.

But this time, Lin Yi didn't intend to let Pepsi know that he was leaving Xingyue City.

Lin Yi quickly left the city gate and headed in one direction.

If there is a flying spirit beast or he can fly, the speed will be many times faster.

At this time, you can only walk on the ground with your feet.

In some remote locations, Lin Yi directly used Wind Step, which was much faster.

The speed of the wind step at this time was much faster than before. This was because Lin Yi's cultivation level had been upgraded to the fifth level of Qi training.

It's just that the Wind Step, which was already accomplished very early, never reached perfection again.

At this time, Lin Yi had no idea about how to practice the Wind Step to perfection.

But Lin Yi didn't force it. For now, Dacheng's Wind Step was able to provide Lin Yi with great help.

What's more, at the fifth level of Qi training, or should be said to be the second level of Qi training, there are a few monks who can practice the Wind Step to great perfection.

This Wind Step technique comes from the Tianfeng Sword Sect, and I believe that there are not many monks in the Tianfeng Sword Sect who can do it.

When Lin Yi thought of this, the Wind Step he was still performing suddenly slowed down.

The current location is Shuiquanzhou, and Tianfeng Sword Sect is one of the overlords of Shuiquanzhou, and the Wind Step comes from Tianfeng Sword Sect.

The other monks have nothing. If one day he is seen by the monks of the Tianfeng Sword Sect, Lin Yi secretly learns their sect's skills.

It will be a big trouble then, and maybe he will be chased by the Tianfeng Sword Sect.

Lin Yi hadn't thought of it before, but it was a headache at this time.

It seems that he still needs to find a new movement technique, otherwise he will be discovered by Tianfeng Sword Sect and Lin Yi will have to flee.

Fortunately, Xingyue City is far away from Tianfeng Sword Sect, so there shouldn't be much of a problem for the time being.

Before he knew it, Lin Yi was heading towards that location, and a day had passed.

But there is still some distance from there.

Lin Yi deliberately avoided the monks along this way and took some deserted paths.

Although it took a lot of time, it was safer and avoided a lot of trouble.

Lin Yi looked at the high mountain in front of him. According to the monk's records, the lotus roots were on the top of the mountain.

This place was indeed very deserted. As Lin Yi walked further down the road, he hardly saw a single monk.

You don’t even have to avoid it.

Lin Yi remembered that before entering Jiuqingmen, the cliff where the assessment was conducted had stumped all the disciples.

There will be other ways to reach the top of the mountain later.

But for Lin Yi at this time, there is no difficulty in this kind of mountain peak.

Lin Yi quickly headed towards the top of the mountain.

Soon Lin Yi reached the top of the mountain.

Lin Yi saw that the top of the mountain had a different appearance. In front of him was a nearly circular pit filled with water.

The lotus roots grow in the deep pit.

It's just that the lotus roots on the edge have been picked. It seems that they were obtained by the monk, but they are already in Lin Yi's hands.

The other lotus roots are in the center of the pit, and you have to go down into the pit to pick them.

If Lin Yi could fly, that wouldn't be a problem.

Just going down into the pit, Lin Yi was still a little worried, and he didn't know what would be in the pit.

Otherwise, the monk would have gone down into the pit and picked all the lotus roots.

What to do now?

Lin Yi thought of the most primitive way, using trees to make a raft.

Lin Yi shook his head. He had already become a monk, and he didn't expect to still use this most primitive method in the hands of mortals.

But fortunately, Lin Yi is a monk. Making a wooden raft is very simple for him and can be completed quickly.

Lin Yi looked at the wooden raft in front of him and was very satisfied.

Pushed directly into the pit.

When Lin Yi was about to jump up, Lin Yi saw the water in the deep pit forming a vortex around the raft.

At first, the raft rotated slowly with the vortex, but then the speed of rotation became faster and faster.

Lin Yi saw that the raft was being sucked into the vortex little by little.

Not long after, the raft was completely submerged in the vortex, and the moment the raft disappeared.

The vortex also disappeared.

Until now, Lin Yi didn't know what happened, and his spiritual consciousness probed into the deep pit.

But he didn't see anything unusual.

What is going on?

Lin Yi didn't dare to enter the deep pit easily at this time. He knew that this place was unusual without thinking.

Before he figured it out, he didn't want to lose his life because of a few lotus roots.

That would be too unfair.

No wonder the cultivator didn't pick the lotus root in the center.

He should have used other methods to test it, and it is estimated that the same thing happened. Because of fear, he chose to leave directly.

In order to prove whether the result would be the same later, Lin Yi made another simple raft.

The same thing happened again.

This time, Lin Yi's spiritual consciousness was always attached to the raft.

But after the raft was swallowed under the water, it immediately disappeared without a trace, and the spiritual consciousness could not capture where it went.

Moreover, Lin Yi used his spiritual consciousness to explore how deep the pit was, but after the spiritual consciousness reached its limit, he still could not see the bottom of the pit.
