Legend of Reborn Alchemist

Two figures sped past.    

Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao, one in front and one behind, shuttled through the dense forest.    

From the time they met until now, neither of them spoke, but they both understood each other's feelings, especially to Lin Cheng. When he saw Zhu Ziqiao's eyes, he completely understood Zhu Ziqiao's thoughts.    

Thus, the two of them did not pause or hesitate at all, and rushed down the mountain at the fastest speed possible.    

However, in order to prevent being detected, the two of them didn't fly on their flying weapons, but even so, their speed was still extremely fast.    

Especially Lin Cheng, after he had exerted the Thousand Mile Silicon Steps to the limit. His speed had already increased to an astonishing level, and even Zhu Ziqiao was barely able to keep up with him. Later on, Lin Cheng simply grabbed Zhu Ziqiao and brought her along with him.    

At this time, Lin Cheng had already noticed Zhu Ziqiao's Cultivation Level. The result made him very surprised. He did not expect that... After not seeing her for so many years, Zhu Ziqiao had actually surpassed him in terms of Cultivation Level. She had reached the Ninth Level of Incarnation Stage and was only a step away from the Divine Ability Stage.    

Lin Cheng thought that his cultivation speed was already fast enough. Furthermore, the reason why he was able to reach such a realm in just a few years was because he had been lingering on the edge of death several times, but had also gotten many great opportunities.    

For example, in the Tianluo Secret Realm, he used the cold wind on the snowy mountain to temper his body.    

In that dangerous place in the abyss, he had risked his life to comprehend that incomparably terrifying spear intent. It had allowed him to advance by leaps and bounds, whether it was in terms of physical strength or cultivation realm.    

More importantly, his combat consciousness and attack power had improved by leaps and bounds.    

However, his opportunities were far from just this.    

In the Tianluo Secret Realm, he had obtained a large amount of high grade Spirit Herba and refined a large amount of pill to aid his cultivation.    

Apart from that, he had also obtained a large amount of Spirit Stone. Furthermore, it was a middle-grade Spirit Stone. This allowed him to have no shortage of resources, allowing him to cultivate to his heart's content.    

Adding all these factors together, he had only reached his current realm, but he had only barely touched the threshold of the Ninth Level of Incarnation Stage.    

However, Zhu Ziqiao had actually reached such a high level in the few years that she had been in Southern Domain. In fact, her realm was even slightly higher than his. This caused Lin Cheng to be a little surprised.    

Even though he knew that Zhu Ziqiao's talent far surpassed his, Zhu Ziqiao's speed of improvement still surprised him!    

However, he could still sense that familiar aura from Zhu Ziqiao's body. Especially Zhu Ziqiao's spiritual sense fluctuation. He was even more familiar with it.    

Lin Cheng knew that Zhu Ziqiao was also cultivating the 'Grain God Spell'. She had not changed to the Formless Immortal Sect's cultivation technique. This also meant that they were the same in terms of cultivation technique.    

In this way, the only thing that could determine their cultivation speed was resources and comprehension.    

Looking at their cultivation realms, there was no doubt that Zhu Ziqiao's talent far exceeded his. At the same time, Zhu Ziqiao probably had plenty of cultivation resources when she was in the Formless Immortal Sect.    

With this, Zhu Ziqiao was able to reach such a high level in just a few short years when her cultivation realm was lower than his.    

However, Lin Cheng believed that resources were only one aspect. More importantly, Zhu Ziqiao's talent. Furthermore, there was another important aspect, which was Zhu Ziqiao's own hard work.    

If Zhu Ziqiao did not cultivate by herself, no matter how many resources she had and no matter how heaven defying the Grain God Spell cultivation method was, her realm would definitely not be able to improve so quickly!    

As for why Zhu Ziqiao would cultivate so desperately, Lin Cheng did not need to ask to know.    

He could totally imagine how Zhu Ziqiao would cultivate so hard in order to escape from the Formless Immortal Sect and even defeat Ming Danjing.    

Anyone who wasn't an idiot would understand the price she had to pay to reach such a high level in just a few years.    

This made Lin Cheng even angrier. Just because Zhu Ziqiao was an Innate Spirit Body, Ming Danjing had forcefully taken her away. She didn't care about their feelings at all. Why would Zhu Ziqiao put her life on the line in order to cultivate?    

At that time, what kind of anger and despair would Zhu Ziqiao have in her heart?    

These thoughts kept flashing in Lin Cheng's mind. His expression also became colder and firmer. If he could escape this time, he would definitely make Ming Danjing regret what she had done in the past in the future!    

Although he was incomparably angry in his heart, Lin Cheng was very calm. Furthermore, he was very clear that he had met Zhu Ziqiao very smoothly. As long as they had yet to escape from the Heavenly Star Sect, they might be discovered.    

If they were in the outside world, even if Ming Danjing chased after them, Lin Cheng would still have a chance to escape with Zhu Ziqiao. However, if they were caught in the Heavenly Star Sect, then they really wouldn't have a chance to escape!    

Putting aside how many experts there were in the Heavenly Star Sect, when they entered the Heavenly Star Sect... Lin Cheng found that the Mountain-protecting Great Array was already circulating. If the Heavenly Star Sect sealed off the mountain gate... The two of them would be completely trapped in the formation.    

Although the Mountain-protecting Great Array was a defensive formation, everyone knew it. The Mountain-protecting Great Array of the sect naturally couldn't exist alone. There must be a killing formation within it. With the existence of a trap array and other array formations, how powerful would these array formations be? Perhaps no one wanted to test them.    

Although Lin Cheng had some attainments in formations, he was still unable to break the Mountain-protecting Great Array of the Heavenly Star Sect.    

Therefore, for Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao, the fastest and only way out was to leave through the mountain gate of the Heavenly Star Sect.    

However, Lin Cheng didn't know if the Heavenly Star Sect had found out that a disciple had gone missing. Therefore, even if everything went smoothly, Lin Cheng didn't dare to be careless. Before he reached the mountain gate, he had no idea what would happen next.    

Zhu Ziqiao was speeding along with Lin Cheng, but there wasn't a trace of nervousness on her face.    

She naturally understood that if they were discovered by Ming Danjing and the people of Heavenly Star Sect, both of them would die in battle. Last time, she could force Ming Danjing to die, forcing her to let Lin Cheng go.    

However, with Ming Danjing's cold personality, she would never let Lin Cheng go a second time.    

Furthermore, if Lin Cheng died in battle, Zhu Ziqiao would not live alone either. She had already decided to fight side by side with Lin Cheng.    

However, because of this, Zhu Ziqiao did not feel nervous or afraid at all. Since she had returned to Lin Cheng's side and stood with Hubby, what was there to be afraid of?    

She had already endured years of separation. How could she be afraid of death?    

When the group of cultivators appeared in front of their eyes, Zhu Ziqiao still did not have any fear.    

Lin Cheng pulled Zhu Ziqiao and hid in the forest beside the mountain path. Looking at the group of cultivators at the mountain gate, he could not help frowning and said in a deep voice, "Girl, I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle next."    

Zhu Ziqiao nodded calmly, "I know!"    

Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao hid in the woods and looked at the mountain gate of Heavenly Star Sect.    

There were dozens of cultivators there. All of them were wearing the uniform of the Heavenly Star Sect. Obviously, they were disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect.    

However, Lin Cheng noticed that the clothes worn by these disciples were different from the uniform worn by the disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect who were guarding the entrance.    

Although Lin Cheng didn't rashly use the spiritual sense to investigate, he could still sense that the fluctuations of the Spirit Power emitted by these people were far from what the disciples who were guarding the entrance could compare with.    

This discovery made Lin Cheng's heart sink. He realized that it was very likely that the Heavenly Star Sect had found out that some disciples had gone missing, which was why they kept a tight watch on the mountain gate, preventing the people of the Heavenly Star Sect from escaping.    

Although the energy waves of the Spirit Power coming from the disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect weren't very strong, and it seemed like they were all at the Incarnation Stage. There weren't any Divine Ability Stage warriors amongst them, but Lin Cheng wasn't the slightest bit careless.    

This was because this was probably the Heavenly Star Sect's scheme. They wanted these disciples who weren't very strong to guard the mountain gate. This would make him think that the mountain gate wasn't dangerous, but in fact, there might be some powerful warriors lying in ambush nearby. He could only wait for him and Zhu Ziqiao to crash into him.    

This possibility did not exist, but Lin Cheng did not have the slightest fear, nor did he have the slightest fear.    

Regardless of whether the people of Heavenly Star Sect knew that someone had sneaked in or was targeting him, Lin Cheng didn't have any way out. Apart from forcing his way through, he had no other choice.    

More importantly, even if there were experts hiding nearby, at least the disciples guarding the mountain gate weren't very strong.    

Perhaps, these disciples of the Heavenly Star Sect could be said to be very strong for the other cultivator. Moreover, there were quite a number of them, which was a huge threat to them.    

However, Lin Cheng's current Cultivation Level was nothing in his eyes. In particular, Lin Cheng's true combat strength had far exceeded his own cultivation realm. Even if it was a normal Expert of Divine Ability Stage, Lin Cheng might not necessarily be at a disadvantage.    

Therefore, these people would not pose much of a threat to Lin Cheng.    

This was also Lin Cheng's chance!    

Therefore, after carefully observing for a while, Lin Cheng turned his head and asked Zhu Ziqiao, "Girl, are you afraid?"    

Zhu Ziqiao did not say anything but just smiled and shook her head. However, her calm eyes had already shown the determination in her heart!    

"Okay, let's rush over!"    

Lin Cheng suddenly became heroic. He took out the Small Spear and rushed over with the Monarch Spear in his other hand.    

Zhu Ziqiao looked at his back, and her eyes carried a trace of a smile. Then, she followed closely behind, and rushed out at an extremely fast speed.    

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"    

At this moment, Lin Cheng's speed had increased to the limit. Besides not using the Void Arts, he had already used the Thousand Mile Silicon Steps to his heart's content. Like a lightning bolt, he instantly arrived in front of the group of Heavenly Star Sect disciples. Suddenly, he attacked.    

Almost in an instant, four or five Heavenly Star Sect disciples were sent flying, spurting out blood from their mouths.
