A large number of fierce beasts charged towards a small village of only a hundred people.
Lin Yu glanced at them and found that the beasts surrounding them were not strong, the strongest being only seventh-tier. He really couldn't muster the energy to fight, so he gave Lin Fan a look.
Lin Fan received the look and understood. He then gave Blue Dragon a look that conveyed understanding.
Blue Dragon understood the meaning and let out a roar. It charged into the beast horde.
"Roar!"
The immense dragon's roar echoed all around, drawing everyone's attention.
When the villagers saw another blue dragon appear, they became even more frightened and ran faster.
Lin Yu said, "Let's finish this quickly!"
His voice was not loud, but it reached Blue Dragon's ears. Blue Dragon immediately roared in acknowledgment and opened its maw.
A massive breath erupted, engulfing an area of several miles. The fierce beasts below were touched by the breath and froze in place, turning into ice sculptures.
With one breath, the surrounding beasts were cleared. The beasts further away, seeing this, were so terrified that they scrambled away in all directions.
The villagers who had been hiding and observing in secret watched everything before them in astonishment.
Blue Dragon's colossal form shimmered in the sunlight, like a holy dragon bringing light to the world. They felt a sense of reverence in their hearts.
Lin Yu said, "The crisis has been resolved. Let the villagers come out."
Lin Fan nodded and entered the village. He let out a loud roar, like thunder from a clear sky, shaking the ground beneath. The hiding villagers felt the ground tremble and knew they could no longer hide.
"Sir, we've come out. Please don't attack us!"
Thinking Lin Fan intended to kill them, the villagers emerged from their hiding places in caves, their faces filled with vigilance and respect as they bowed.
Lin Fan chuckled and asked, "Who is the village chief?"
As soon as he spoke, the villagers exchanged glances. Finally, an old man timidly stepped forward.
"This old one is the chief. Greetings, sir!" the chief said respectfully.
Lin Fan examined him for a few moments and said, "Follow me!"
With that, he walked ahead, heading towards Lin Yu.
Behind him, the chief followed nervously. When they reached Blue Dragon, he dared not even breathe. But he noticed that Blue Dragon lowered its head when it encountered Lin Fan, looking quite subservient.
He was secretly astonished.
These people were no ordinary folk. Even with his experience, he couldn't discern their cultivation levels.
Finally, they arrived beside Lin Yu.
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Please sit!"
The old chief looked around at the empty surroundings and was momentarily stunned.
Where are the chairs? How am I supposed to sit? Does the man opposite mean to sit on the ground?
Thinking he understood Lin Yu's intention, he was about to sit cross-legged when suddenly, a flash of light appeared before his eyes. An antique, solid wood table and chairs materialized.
Lin Yu sat down and smiled at the old chief.
The old chief was greatly surprised and sat down tremblingly.
The scene of the table and chairs appearing out of thin air astonished him. As far as he knew, spatial equipment was not easy to obtain. Due to material scarcity, spatial equipment had become increasingly rare in recent years.
He had heard that in the great cities, there were powerful cultivators who could conjure things from nothing. Could this man before him be such a cultivator?
Thinking this, he became even more nervous, and his expression grew more respectful.
Lin Yu noticed the change in his expression and smiled, saying, "We come from afar and are passing through this place. We wish to borrow your memories for a moment, would that be alright?"
Borrow his memories?
The old chief was bewildered.
How could memories be borrowed?
The next moment, Lin Yu, with a smile, extended his hand, and a faint light emerged.
"Do you agree? If you agree, this pill is for you!"
Lin Yu flipped his hand and produced a bottle containing ten first-tier Blood and Flesh Pills, placing them on the table.
It wasn't that he didn't want to give higher-grade Blood and Flesh Pills, but the strongest in this village was only first-tier.
No wonder they lived in such a remote place with low strength and a sparse population. If it weren't for him passing by, few might have survived after the beast tide.
"This pill can increase strength by a thousand jin. One person can only take one, with no side effects!" Lin Yu explained.
Although these Blood and Flesh Pills were useless to him, for the village chief before him, they were no less than divine medicine.
He nodded repeatedly and said, "Sir! Please, feel free to borrow my memories!"
Having said this, he closed his eyes, awaiting Lin Yu's technique.
Lin Yu nodded and silently recited, "Soul Searching Art!"
This was one of the Ten Great Soul Arts he had learned in the past. He rarely used it, but today it had found its purpose.
The next moment, a flash of white light appeared, and the chief's soul materialized.
Lin Yu willed it, and memories began to surface one by one. Lin Yu's eyes glowed with light as he quickly memorized them.
Soon, he had recorded everything. Lin Yu released his grip, allowing the chief's soul to return.
"Alright, you may go now!"
Lin Yu pushed the Blood and Flesh Pills towards him and then dismissed the old chief.
The old chief, trembling with excitement, hid the pills and departed.
At this moment, Lin Fan walked over and asked, "Brother, what's the situation in this world?"
Lin Fan was also quite curious, as, strictly speaking, this was his first time entering another world.
Lin Yu replied, "This is a world of cultivation, similar to the Canglan Realm!"
The Canglan Realm and humanity had once been very close, but after being taken advantage of during a crisis, their relationship had soured. Overnight, the people of Blue Star severed the spatial passage from the Canglan Realm to Blue Star, and the two races became mortal enemies.
The Canglan Realm was a cultivation world, and in the past, it had been a strong one. But now, it seemed to be on par with this current world, without even a demigod-level expert.
"This world, like the Canglan Realm, is focused on cultivation, but it's relatively low-level. The strongest are only ninth-tier!"
"The place we arrived in is called the Barren Forbidden Zone by them, extremely dangerous with all sorts of powerful demonic beasts roaming."
"This is a remote area of their civilization, so the cultivators are generally weak. The heart of their civilization is in Baiyun City, tens of thousands of miles away from here."
"Let's go, we can talk as we walk!"
Lin Yu looked at Blue Dragon. Blue Dragon understood and let out a roar, flying over and lying down on the ground.
Lin Yu glanced at the hundred researchers behind him and said, "Blue Dragon, grow bigger!"
"Roar!" Blue Dragon roared and increased its size tenfold, becoming a thousand meters long.
Lin Yu nodded, stepped onto the dragon's back first, followed closely by Lin Fan, and then the hundred researchers.
"Go!"
*Boom!*
Blue Dragon flapped its wings and took to the sky.
Below, the villagers watched this scene, utterly astonished.
"Chief, who are those people?" someone asked.
The chief shook his head, "I don't know!"
He clutched the medicine bottle in his hand. To him, these Blood and Flesh Pills were treasures. If he hadn't cared before, now he would save them for his loved ones.
"They are so powerful! Even before we were banished, our family elders only had this kind of strength?"
"No! Even the Supreme Elders weren't this strong! I can tell that the Blue Dragon alone has the strength of a Supreme Elder, perhaps even stronger, and the Blue Dragon is just a mount."
"Hiss! Where do they come from to be so powerful?"
