Chapter 5024 Another Foundation Establishment Cultivator
Other than the convenience store on the first floor, only the third floor was occupied. On the fifth floor, there was no one opposite the door. The sixth floor above was empty, and even the house had not been renovated, so there would not be anyone there. The same was true for the fourth floor. In that case, why would there be footsteps at this time?
Could it really be haunted? Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat. He didn't open the door, but he still sent out his spirit sense.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door. Lin Yi was still excited at first, but he quickly realized that it was all for nothing. The people who came weren't ghosts, but two living people. He'd just seen one of them during the day, the agent.
Other than the agent, there was also a tall, cold-looking woman. Lin Yi didn't notice her at first, but he realized that she was a practitioner as well, and she was a Foundation early stage practitioner!
It'd only been a day since he'd returned to the common world, and this was already the third foundation Stage practitioner he'd met. Lin Yi couldn't help but wonder-what was going on here?
But this woman seemed to be injured quite badly, her breathing clearly unstable. Normal people wouldn't be able to tell from her face, but it couldn't escape Lin Yi's eyes.
"Miss, the rent of this house is indeed very cheap, but I have to say something first, in case you later Sue us for lying to consumers. If that happens, we'll be wronged to death." The agent said.
"Speak," he said. The tall woman coldly spat out a word.
"To tell you the truth, someone was killed by an electric saw during the renovation of this house, so it's said to be haunted. Although your house is opposite, I still have to tell you in advance that no one believes in ghosts, but I think it's better to believe it than not, don't you think so?" The agent rambled on-perhaps it was because the girl was a beauty, but his attitude towards Lin Yi was much more sincere than it was during the day.
"Ghost? If it dares to come, I'll chop it to death. " The tall woman said coldly. She took the key and walked into the room. She closed the door behind her, leaving the agent standing at the door, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
This woman was really tough! Lin Yi was speechless. Practitioners were strong, so they weren't afraid of ghosts like normal people, but female practitioners were still women. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't change some of their habits, like being afraid of bugs or ghosts.
However, this female cultivator was obviously an exception. Her words and actions were cold and overbearing, without the slightest intention of being weak.
"Looks like I'll have to find a chance to talk to this cold little girl." Lin Yi mumbled as he pinched his chin. He wasn't coveting the girl's beauty-with all the girls he had right now, he wouldn't be too surprised by her beauty even if she was a real beauty.
The only reason he thought of this was because of the other's strength. Lin Yi didn't believe that this early Foundation Stage practitioner had nothing to do with the two Foundation Stage practitioners from before.
But Lin Yi didn't plan on going to the door immediately. This cold girl was obviously hard to talk to, and she was injured now, so she'd be extra careful around strangers. Going to the door and asking would be asking for trouble.
Plus, Lin Yi's strength wasn't fully recovered yet-a Sky Class late phase peak wouldn't have a problem dealing with an injured early Foundation Stage practitioner, but it wasn't enough to intimidate them. The most important thing for Lin Yi right now was to recover his strength-he didn't want to go head to head with someone unless it was absolutely necessary.
Therefore, if he wanted to ask questions, he had to have a suitable opportunity. Otherwise, if he forced himself to ask, it would only produce the opposite effect.
Lin Yi only pushed the door open when there wasn't any movement from the opposite door. He went to the store downstairs to ask around, only to find out that there weren't any night food stalls nearby, only downtown.
It was a good thing that Lin Yi was fast-it took less than five minutes for him to get there, even when others took half an hour to get there on their e-bike. He'd be even faster if he didn't ask for directions.
As expected, the night food stall was indeed full of people. All kinds of people gathered here, drinking beer and eating barbecue, and bragging to vent their anger. If one was listening, one could definitely know everything as long as they stayed here for two hours.
There were all sorts of topics, from national affairs to neighborhood gossip-Lin Yi didn't even have to go talk to people, and he'd know everything he needed to know just by eating.
The first thing that could be confirmed was that there was no chaos in the secular world, at least there was no chaos in the social order on the surface. From this, it could be inferred that the cultivators hidden under the social order were not in great chaos either. Otherwise, if the chaos was really out of control, the social order would inevitably be affected, and not as calm as it was now.
In other words, these heavenly Dao stage experts didn't have any major conflicts with the mortal world's original cultivation forces. There were only two explanations for this. Either very few people knew of their existence, or these heavenly Dao stage experts had reached some kind of consensus with the hidden families and ancient sects, and weren't hostile to each other.
No matter which one it was, it wasn't a bad situation for Lin Yi. As long as there wasn't any big-scale conflict, it meant that Lingshan and the others weren't in any trouble yet. After all, there were so many people who were on the same side because of him, and if anything happened to any one of them, it'd alert everyone. The investigation Bureau and all the noble houses would be in chaos, and it wouldn't be as peaceful as it was now.
After coming to this conclusion, Lin Yi could finally relax a little. He still had to figure out the background and intentions of these Tiandao Masters, but at least it wasn't as urgent as he thought it would be. He could wait until he recovered his strength before making any plans.
Other than that, Lin Yi also understood where he was now. He was in a small county in the southwest, a County city called xima. It was almost the entire Huaxia away from Donghai, and the distance wasn't an ordinary distance.
Moreover, the transportation in this place was not developed. There was no airport or train station. If he wanted to go far, he had to take a bus to the prefecture-level city on the side, where the airport or train station was.
