Chapter 143: Going Home
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye. During these ten days, Shi Lin devoted all his efforts to figuring out the recipe for the top-grade dual-flavor wine gu.
However, there were no results at all. The recipe for the top-grade Gu worm seemed to be completely independent of the three grades of Gu worms: superior, mid-grade, and inferior. The materials required were also unique and there was no trace of them that could be found.
Although there hasn't been much progress in researching Gu worms, the Gu worms contracted to Shi Lin and Shi An have been replaced with superior-grade dual-flavor wine gu, which has greatly improved their cultivation speed.
Today marks the fifteenth day since Shi Lin and Shi An arrived in Sachi City, and it's also the day Lin Kun came to pick them up to return to Notting City.
"Bang bang bang".
Early in the morning, there was a knock on Shi Lin's room.
Upon hearing the knock on the door, Shi Lin slowly exited his cultivation state.
"Young Master, it's almost time. We should go out and wait for the car," Shi An reminded Shi Lin from the doorway.
"Okay, I'll head out right away. Brother An, go and greet Old Du and Xiao Ming. We'll meet at the hotel entrance in a bit." Shi Lin called out to Shi An at the door, then began washing up and changing his clothes.
After dressing himself neatly, Shi Lin came out of his room.
Soon, the group met up at the hotel entrance.
After having a simple breakfast, the four of them arrived at the city gate of Sachi City, waiting for Lin Kun's arrival.
Shi Lin and Shi An hitched a ride on Lin Kun's caravan for convenience, but neither of them had a travel permit, so they couldn't go back on their own.
As for Du Yunqing and his grandson, like Shi Lin and his companion, they also had to smuggle themselves into Notting City, so the four of them could only get back by riding in Lin Kun's convoy.
Standing at the city gate, Shi Lin and the other three waited quietly for Lin Kun's carriage.
Around noon, Lin Kun's convoy indeed arrived outside the city of Sachi.
Upon seeing Shi Lin, Lin Kun immediately jumped off the carriage and approached Shi Lin with a broad smile on his face.
However, Lin Kun's face was sinister, and his smile was anything but gentle.
"Uncle Lin! Long time no see!" Shi Lin didn't care about Lin Kun's appearance at all. He stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting to Lin Kun, and said.
"Haha, Xiao Lin, you look pretty good. Is the soul ring absorption going smoothly?" Lin Kun looked Shi Lin up and down, then smiled and said.
"Of course, I've successfully absorbed the spirit ring. By the way, Uncle Lin, when are we setting off?" Shi Lin didn't want to reminisce with Lin Kun, so he asked.
After all, Shi Lin and his three companions had been waiting at the city gate for half a day, so they wanted to get on the carriage and rest as soon as possible.
Lin Kun glanced at Shi An and Du Yunqing and his grandson behind Shi Lin, frowned slightly, and thought for a moment.
I have no memory of this old man, and I don't know what he does.
However, Lin Kun knew Shi Lin's discerning eye, so he also glanced at Du Yunqing a few more times, wondering if there was something special about this old man.
"Uncle Lin, which car should we take?" Shi Lin asked again after seeing Lin Kun looking Du Yunqing up and down.
"Oh, I see. You can ride in that carriage." Lin Kun finally came to his senses after hearing Shi Lin's words and pointed to the carriage in the middle of the convoy.
Shi Lin glanced in the direction Lin Kun was pointing and indeed there was a carriage, but the carriage was covered with a layer of iron sheet, so you couldn't see the outside at all.
In other words, Lin Kun was still worried that he might have recorded the smuggling route.
Shi Lin didn't mind and told Shi An to take Du Yunqing and Du Ming to the car to rest first.
"Uncle Lin, how much longer until we set off?" Shi Lin asked Lin Kun again.
"No need to rush, Xiao Lin. My brothers are going into the city to replenish some supplies. They'll be leaving in about half an hour," Lin Kun said with a smile to Shi Lin.
"Alright, Uncle Lin, I'll go back to the carriage and wait there." Shi Lin clasped his hands in a fist salute to Lin Kun, then turned and left.
Shi Lin ignored Lin Kun's expression and returned to the carriage on his own.
"Mr. Du, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you." After entering the carriage, Shi Lin bowed slightly to Du Yunqing and said this.
Although the carriage was not small, it was still a bit crowded to accommodate four people.
"Haha, Xiao Lin, you're too kind. This old man's bones are still quite strong. Don't worry, I'm not that fragile," Du Yunqing said, patting his chest.
Shi Lin smiled and shook his head as he looked at Du Yunqing. This old man could run and jump, and he was even stronger than him when he was carrying wine jars. It seemed that he really didn't need to worry about this old man.
"By the way, Xiao Lin, that guy who led the team just now isn't a respectable person. He was looking at you suspiciously too. Be careful on the road." Du Yunqing approached Shi Lin and whispered a reminder to him.
It must be said that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Although Du Yunqing is old, he has a sharp eye and recognized at a glance that Lin Kun is not a good person.
Of course, Shi Lin noticed it too.
However, without Lin Kun, he had no way to return to Notting City, so he could only deal with whatever came his way.
Shi Lin nodded without saying anything more.
A guy like Lin Kun, who dares to do smuggling, must not be a good person. Although he and Shi An are both Soul Masters in their twenties, if Lin Kun really makes trouble, they are also likely to get hurt.
However, Shi Lin also observed that Lin Kun's convoy only had two Soul Masters and a dozen or so Great Soul Masters, so Shi Lin and Shi An, working together with the Gu worms, should have no problem taking them down. But injuries would be inevitable.
Seeing Shi Lin's confident demeanor, Du Yunqing didn't say anything more and sat in the car to close his eyes and rest.
Half an hour later, the carriage slowly started moving.
Shi Lin took out more than a dozen top-grade bamboo leaf gu, gave nine to Shi An, and made contracts with nine of them himself.
The combination of eighteen top-grade bamboo leaf gu with Shi Lin's spatial cutting greatly enhances safety.
The rest of the group sat in the carriage, closed their eyes, and rested to prepare for what was to come.
As for whether Lin Kun will make a move, it would be best if he didn't. If he does, then Shi Lin will fight to the death.
...
As the sun sets, its afterglow spills across the earth.
Because there are few towns in the border area, they will be camping outside tonight. Lin Kun is a smuggler, so it is not convenient for him to go into the town to rest.
Just then, the carriage where Shi Lin was was suddenly knocked on.
"Xiao Lin, let's get ready to set up camp. We'll rest here tonight. Come out and get something to eat." Lin Kun's voice came from outside.
Shi Lin and the other three became alert at the same time!
They've come with ill intentions!
