Chapter 210 Blood Cave Ancestor
Update Time: 9-14 21:39:33 Words: 3691

"Damn it! Are they playing me for fools?!"
Long Lin returned to the inn, only to find that the two had already left alone. They must have been too proud of their superior cultivation and decided to hog the food. Long Lin muttered curses.
He was already in a bad mood, and it was only when he descended the mountain from the Qingyun Sect that he realized he had been manipulated by a woman all along. Since arriving in the Great Qin Dynasty, he had been tasked with helping Liu Bang seize the Qin throne and then casting the Five Emperors Bell to send him back. But instead, he had been passed on his skills by the Azure Emperor and had been working for that Qing'er all along. Risking his life time and time again, what the hell was it all for?
For his current cultivation? Or for something else? It seemed the Qingyun Sect no longer needed him, so they were just using him as a guest elder to get rid of him, and now they wanted him to fight on the front lines when they needed him. In the end, Liu Bang was the one who benefited. As for the Five Emperors Bell, it was hard to say whether that thing even existed. Besides, even if he went back, according to the timeline of this cultivation world, that bitch Elisa would probably be rotting into a pile of bones by now.
But what should he do then?
Long Lin sat in the inn and drank a full twenty large jars of strong liquor, finally realizing something: life is short, why pursue those meaningless things so much? Cultivating immortality and attaining the Dao, living for a thousand years, what's the use of living a mundane life even if you live for ten thousand years? If you're going to live, live it to the fullest, even if it's just for one day, it's enough.
Long Lin felt that he had been playing the hero for the past few years, but he hadn't taken it seriously. In that instant, he suddenly changed his philosophy, and the mercenary's "live for today" mentality returned.
"So be it! I couldn't dominate the world in my past life, but I'll make my mark in this cultivation world! Four emperors, five emperors, Liu Bang could call himself the Black Emperor, why can't I?"
Long Lin laughed heartily, a chilling aura of evil emanating from him.
"The cultivation world, that's not bad... I can rebuild the Qin Gate Grotto-heaven... Hmm, Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, you'll all become my underlings! I'll make Qin Dynasty belong to the Dragon! Qin Shi Huang, you're dead... but you'll come back to life!"
Long Lin thought to himself, imagining himself already wearing the yellow dragon robe, sitting on the throne in the grand hall, with his ministers in two rows below, and those sanctimonious, high-ranking immortals offering him treasures and flowers. Behind him was the most beautiful woman in the world, the goddess Qing'er, who was merely his maid.
Long Lin poured the last pot of wine into his mouth, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep. He slept soundly, for he had already conceived a sinister plan.
The treacherous mountain path wound its way deep into the valley shrouded in blood-red poisonous mist.
Deep within Qingyun Mountain, a place teeming with demonic beasts, the pervasive poisonous mist kept them at bay.
A sika deer with long, icy antlers was startled by a giant python and, in its panic, plunged headlong into the blood mist. But it immediately let out a scream, its blood-red plumage instantly shattering as if sliced by countless knives, turning into a pool of pus. Only the icy antlers were caught by a strand of black silk that suddenly appeared from within the mist and pulled it deeper into the valley.
Deep within Blood Soul Valley lay the lair of the Blood Cave Ancestor. And because of this blood mist, countless cultivators had already met their demise here.
Therefore, the Qingyun Sect had considered sending elites to kill him, but later issued this dangerous mission as a bounty to the rogue cultivators. "We can eliminate the demons and win over those rogue cultivators at the same time—a win-win situation, why not?
" "Erniu, we're here! Look at that blood mist!"
"Yes, Thirteen Sister, this time we're determined to get it. We have the Snow Toad Robe, which is immune to all poisons. This time, the Blood Cave Ancestor is doomed!"
At this moment, right where the giant snake had been coiled, a male and a female cultivator appeared. They paid no attention to the giant snake, and seeing the Ice Spirit Long-Horned Sika Deer die tragically in the blood mist, the giant snake also shrank into a ball, seemingly oblivious to the two cultivators.
"Let's go! Let's just charge in!"
Thirteen Sister said.
"Yes, let's put on the Snow Toad Robe first!"
Wang Erniu nodded, then carefully took out a palm-sized emerald jade box from his robes, opened it, and inside were two sets of snow-white silk robes.
Thirteen Sister leaned closer, took out a silk robe from the jade box, and with a flick of her magic, the robe automatically flew up and transformed into a white light, enveloping her.
Wang Erniu also took out another set of Snow Toad Robes and put them on. They had investigated the Blood Cave Ancestor for a long time, which was why they dared to accept this mission so easily. The Blood Cave Ancestor's actual cultivation wasn't very high, but he was extremely skilled in using poison, striking fear into the hearts of ordinary cultivators.
After putting on their Snow Toad Robes, the two exchanged a smile and transformed into two beams of white light, shooting into the blood mist.
"Blood Cave Old Demon, we, the Qishan Immortal Couple, are here! Come out and face your death!"
Because of their charge, the blood mist in the valley churned, surging into a dark red wave.
Just then, the giant python at the valley entrance lazily stretched its neck and slowly stood upright. Its body, over three zhang long and as thick as a water bucket, stood erect, letting out a strange cry into the blood mist. Then, the python's entire body suddenly emitted a blinding red light.
The red light dissipated, and the python vanished. Long Lin, standing there with his back to the wall, reached out and touched the blood mist, then tasted it, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
"Hmm, this blood mist tastes good!"
Long Lin smiled, then lifted his leg and floated into the blood mist like a gust of wind, following Wang Erniu and Shisan Niang as they passed through the surging blood mist and ran deeper into the valley.
Deep within Blood Soul Valley, in a gloomy, blood-stained cave, a suppressed groan could be heard.
On a large stone bed, a pale-faced young man in his thirties suddenly lifted his head from between a girl's long, white legs, a flash of angry killing intent in his eyes. A trace of blood still clung to his lips.
However, upon hearing Wang Erniu's self-introduction as the Immortal Couple of Qishan, a sinister smile appeared on the Blood Cave Ancestor's face. He slowly stood up and walked out of the cave.
The girl who had just let out a suppressed groan on the stone bed behind him was now completely silent.
Wang Erniu swung his wolf-tooth mace with a whooshing sound, bursts of golden light shooting out in all directions, instantly clearing away a large area of the blood mist and revealing the entrance to the Blood Cave filled with skulls.
A foul wind rushed out of the cave, and then the Blood Cave Ancestor, clad in a blood-red robe, emerged. A strange flush appeared on his pale face as he coldly sized up Wang Erniu and the Thirteenth Sister couple.
"So it's you two. Not bad, not bad. Core Formation stage cultivators are the blood food I crave!"
the Blood Cave Ancestor chuckled darkly.
"Hmph... then come and try my Shattering Sky Wolf-tooth Mace!"
Wang Erniu shouted coldly, his wolf-tooth mace whistling through the air as he smashed it down towards the Blood Cave Ancestor's head.
Thirteen Sister also launched her attack, slashing diagonally with her longsword. The fierce blade light extended for nearly ten zhang, its power capable of cleaving the Blood Cave Ancestor in two.
"Hmph..."
The Blood Cave Ancestor's lips, smeared with human blood, opened wide, exhaling a cloud of black mist. The black mist immediately split into two streams, one binding Wang Erniu's spiked club, the other binding Thirteen Sister's blade light.
The black mist, like silk, climbed straight up the weapons, and wherever it touched, the spiritual light on the weapons dimmed instantly. Even Thirteen Sister's blade light was instantly swallowed up by the black mist.
"Bloodthirsty Soul-Snatching Silk? Demon, you've really mastered this evil technique?"
Thirteen Sister was shocked. Before the black silk could entangle her longsword, she quickly withdrew her attack and unleashed a burst of magical power, forcing the silk back several feet.
At this moment, Wang Erniu's giant wolf-tooth club had completely lost its spiritual energy, becoming nothing more than a piece of scrap metal.
"Haha...you two should just accept your fate!"
The Blood Cave Ancestor sneered. "The blood of a Core Formation cultivator is quite delicious, especially a female cultivator's!"
"Demon, you're courting death!"
Thirteen Sister's face flushed slightly. She swung her longsword, simultaneously unleashing three sword energies.
At this moment, Wang Erniu had already discarded the scrap metal, taking out a short sword from his storage ring. His tall figure moved with incredible agility, stabbing towards the Blood Cave Ancestor with a strange speed that distorted the air.
A cold glint flashed in the Blood Cave Ancestor's eyes. He raised both palms, and a cloud of blood mist erupted from his entire body, enveloping him completely.
The Blood Mist Ancestor's figure vanished instantly within the blood mist.
"Er Niu!"
Thirteen Sister cried out in alarm, swinging her longsword repeatedly. A massive wave of sword energy rippled outwards, its force sweeping away the skeletons in front of the cave and clearing away the black mist, ready to pounce on the blood fog.
Two muffled groans came from within the blood fog…
Thirteen Sister dispersed the blood fog and noticed a trickle of black blood at the corner of Wang Er Niu's mouth, his eyes gradually losing their luster. Not far away, a pale golden mist, carrying a short sword, was slammed into the chest of the Blood Cave Ancestor.
The short sword's spiritual light had already pierced a transparent blood hole in the Blood Cave Ancestor's chest, and from within the pale golden mist came Wang Er Niu's furious roar, "Demon! Die!"
Just now, with his magical treasure destroyed, Wang Er Niu had used his trump card—the spiritual light short sword—and, with his extraordinary footwork, had finally severely injured the Blood Cave Ancestor. However, his Snow Toad Robe had not been able to block the Blood Cave Ancestor's blood fog, and his body instantly succumbed to poisoning.
"Monster!"
Thirteen Sister gritted her teeth, ignoring the black threads already wrapped around her longsword, and slashed fiercely at the Blood Cave Ancestor.
"Haha..."
At this moment, the Blood Soul Ancestor's body twisted strangely, then suddenly exploded, the shattered flesh transforming into a swarm of giant, thumb-sized, entirely red flies, which swarmed towards Wang Erniu's soul and Thirteen Sister.
"Thirteen Sister, run!"
Although Thirteen Sister's sword light had already shattered two giant red flies, she couldn't help but cry out in alarm. She retreated amidst the roar of Wang Erniu's soul, but it was too late; two giant flies had already firmly pinned her to her body.
At this moment, Wang Erniu's soul was surrounded by giant flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was devoured completely, while Thirteen Sister's face instantly turned deathly pale, and she slowly collapsed to the ground.
A streak of red light drifted from the swarm of giant red flies, containing within it a glowing red bead—the very soul and core of the Blood Cave Ancestor. It turned out he had already entered the Core Formation stage.
"Hmph…if I had formed my core a few days later, wouldn't I have been destroyed by the two of you!"
the Blood Cave Ancestor coldly said, watching Thirteen Niang's flesh and spirit being drained by the blood-devouring flies. But his voice carried a hint of lingering fear. After all, he had taken a huge risk by self-destructing his body to release the blood-devouring flies.
In just two breaths, the swarm of blood-devouring flies had completely drained Thirteen Niang's voluptuous body, leaving only a complete skeleton. They even flew around once more, seemingly unsatisfied, before heading towards Wang Erniu's corpse.
"Sigh, it seems I'll have to find a body to possess! Before these flies get too close to what's inside, I'll just have to make do with that woman's body for now!"
Originally, the Blood Soul Ancestor wanted to possess Wang Erniu's body, but the blood-devouring flies swarmed up, and he couldn't even disperse them in time. Besides, he couldn't control these flies very well. He sighed to himself and was about to drift into the Blood Cave.
"Blood Cave Ancestor, you'd better not try to possess him!"
At this moment, a clear, cold laugh came from within the pervasive blood mist. With the voice, a crimson light shot out from the blood mist, pulling the Blood Cave Ancestor's soul and the elixir into it.
At the same time, another crimson light enveloped the blood-devouring flies that were feeding on Wang Erniu's corpse, engulfing them in the blood mist as well.

Chapter 211 Soul Extraction and Spirit Stripping
Update Time: 9-15 7:19:18 Words: 3632

"Who are you, daring to ambush this old ancestor?"
The Blood Cave Ancestor's spiritual consciousness was swept into the blood mist, and he said angrily. After all, there are not many people who possess the Snow Toad Robe, and even fewer who possess the cultivation of the Core Formation stage. Within a radius of a thousand miles, there are even fewer who can sneak in without being discovered by him. This guy's rash and ruthless scheme is definitely not a sudden intrusion.
"Fine! What harm is there in telling me your real name? My surname is Zu, and my given name is Zong!"
Long Lin chuckled, and casually put the blood-devouring worms that had been drawn into his magic power into his Ruyi Bag. These blood-devouring worms are good stuff; they will come in handy for some poisonous attacks, ambushes, and corpse-destroying to cover up the crime later. There are such advantages to not being a good person; you can do whatever it takes.
"Ancestor... Ancestor..."
the Blood Cave Ancestor murmured, then roared in fury, "Damn it, how dare you take advantage of me!"
"Go to hell! So what if I took advantage of you? You want to be my dutiful grandson? I'd rather you were a filthy wretch!"
Long Lin sneered, instantly enraging the Blood Cave Ancestor, who was now just a wisp of a soul. He was quite domineering, enjoying considerable influence within a hundred miles, and had never suffered such humiliation. However, before he could cry out in protest, the magical power surrounding him suddenly tightened, and Long Lin's ruthless voice rang out: "If you want me to spare your life, tell me everything you know. Do you have spirit stones, secret manuals, or spiritual herbs...?"
"You... you..."
The Blood Cave Ancestor was so angry he couldn't speak. This was practically robbery, and the one being robbed was him, the Blood Cave Ancestor.
"Hehe... You can choose to speak or not, but I can also choose to kill you or torture you!"
Long Lin smiled sinisterly, his hand forming a delicate, orchid-like gesture. His magic power instantly tightened, and the Blood Cave Ancestor's soul was violently constricted by the magic power, letting out a muffled scream.
"Boy... When have I, the Blood Soul Ancestor, ever been afraid of anyone?"
Although he was struggling to breathe under Long Lin's magic power, he gritted his teeth and said.
"Alright, you've got a tough nut to crack!"
Long Lin chuckled. He knew that someone who could cultivate evil arts and reach the Core Formation stage was no ordinary person. Anyone with even a hint of weakness would have been reduced to ashes by now, not even alive.
Since that was the case, Long Lin didn't need to waste words with him. He tightened his grip, his magic power binding the Blood Cave Ancestor's consciousness tightly, and a wisp of his divine sense surged into Long Lin's mind.
Soul extraction and dismemberment—an extremely cruel technique in the cultivation world. However, with the old man Hun Tian present, Long Lin didn't need to ask him; he directly taught it to him.
A jumble of memories flooded Long Lin's mind. He felt a tightness in his chest, followed by a churning sensation in his stomach, as if something was about to rise from his throat. His entire chest felt sour and spicy.
"Damn monster, scum, beast, shameless, perverted, delusional!..."
Long Lin wanted nothing more than to dig up the ancestral graves of this Blood Cave Ancestor and curse his ancestors for eighteen generations. It was utterly outrageous!
He quickly filtered out those thoughts, even more disturbing than those of a super-addictive pornographic films, freeing himself from the sensitive areas where the girls had been violated. He finally found something useful.
"Blood-Devouring Bees..."
Long Lin endured the torment and found the Blood Cave Ancestor's method for breeding Blood-Devouring Bees. However, the heinous method still made him gag a few times, and then his scalp tingled.
As a mercenary leader, Long Lin had committed countless murders and arson in his past life, and in this life, he had also committed millions of atrocities, but he had never seen such a method of feeding insects with humans.
"Blood-Slaying Soul Silk Technique!"
Long Lin murmured. However, seeing that almost perverse cultivation method, Long Lin gave up the idea of cultivating it. Although he aspired to be an evil person in the future, he still could not accept evil to this extent. You must know that a single strand of Blood-Slaying Soul Silk requires the souls of hundreds of people to be refined, and they must be people who died unjustly and tragically, filled with resentment.
After quickly scanning the Blood Cave Ancestor's spiritual sense, Long Lin let out a long breath, expelling the frustration in his heart. Then, with a casual wave of his hand, a whirlwind of magical power dissipated, banishing the blood mist around him.
Although he wasn't afraid of the blood mist's poison, staying in it for too long wasn't good.
"Alas... if you had waited for me before killing this Blood Cave Ancestor, you wouldn't have ended up reduced to ashes!"
Long Lin sighed, looking at the two skeletons of Thirteen Sister and Wang Erniu.
At this moment, the blood mist in the valley had faded, revealing the original state of the valley, littered with corpses. Heaven knows how many people this Blood Cave Ancestor had slaughtered here, and most of them were young women.
"Ah..."
Just then, a shrill scream suddenly came from the Blood Cave.
Long Lin's heart sank, and he shot into the cave. He saw a naked girl, pale-faced, looking around with extreme fear in her eyes.
Her snow-white body was covered in bruises, especially below her abdomen, where a pool of blood stained the area. What had happened in this wicked cave was obvious.
Long Lin sighed inwardly, pointed a finger at the girl who was now in a daze, and a burst of magic power shot towards her, bringing a touch of red to her brow.
"Looks like I made the right choice coming here!"
Long Lin thought to himself. However, seeing the girl lying silently on the ground, the excitement he had felt upon finding the breeding method of the Blood-Eating Flies and discovering the Blood Cave Ancestor's hidden spirit stones was now like a flame doused with cold water—completely gone.
Opening a stone slab under the cave's stone bed, Long Lin haphazardly stuffed a large pile of gleaming spirit stones into his magic pouch, then with a flick of his wrist, a crimson flame ignited a pile of clothes in a corner of the cave.
The flames roared, but Long Lin felt no warmth. The cultivation world was rife with demonic forces; it was a dog-eat-dog world! One Blood Cave Ancestor was gone, but who knew there might be another?
Long Lin burned the Blood Cave Ancestor's lair to the ground before burying Wang Erniu and Shisan Niang's remains, then headed towards Qingyun Town.
However, through this first bounty mission, Long Lin discovered something: many high-level cultivators weren't after the tens of thousands of spirit stones. While some wanted to be heroes upholding justice and vanquishing demons, many were after the demons' riches.
Three thousand high-grade spirit stones were equivalent to millions of low-grade spirit stones!
It's important to know that the exchange rate for low-grade spirit stones to mid-grade spirit stones is 10:1, while the exchange rate for low-grade spirit stones is 100:1. Moreover, these spirit stones include highly collectible five-colored spirit stones, remnants from when Nuwa mended the sky—treasures that ordinary cultivators wouldn't even glance at.
One can imagine how many cultivators this Blood Cave Ancestor must have killed to amass such a treasure.
However, to Long Lin's regret, he didn't find any remaining magical artifacts. But after a moment's thought, he understood. The Blood Cave Ancestor's Blood Fiend Soul Scripture specifically had the effect of corrupting magical artifacts. He had personally witnessed Wang Erniu's spirit-filled wolf-tooth mace turn into a piece of scrap metal in just a few breaths. It seemed that even after killing those cultivators, the magical artifacts couldn't have been preserved.
In Qingyun Town, Long Lin transferred a wisp of the Blood Cave Ancestor's divine sense to the deacon disciple. The disciple in charge was slightly taken aback at first, then after a simple test, he confirmed it was the Blood Cave Ancestor and nodded. He then lightly tapped the bounty poster, which disappeared from the stone pillar. This declared that the Blood Cave Ancestor was dead.
"Immortal Master Long, congratulations on completing the Gold-level bounty mission. You can now accompany me to Qingyun Mountain to receive your guest elder's certificate. After becoming a guest elder, you can enjoy the privileges of our Qingyun Sect..."
"Alright! Look at this!"
Long Lin pulled out a jade slip of emerald green from his storage ring and waved it lightly in front of the Qingyun Sect disciple, interrupting his incessant introduction.
The Qingyun Sect disciple's mouth remained agape for a long time before he finally closed it. He glared and hurriedly bowed, saying, "I am truly sorry for my intrusion. This disciple greets Elder Long Lin!"
"No need for such formalities!"
Long Lin said calmly. Long Lin felt somewhat relieved by the Qingyun Sect disciple's respect; at least this status was somewhat useful.
"Elder Long... so you're already a guest elder of our Qingyun Sect! Why didn't you say so sooner?"
The Qingyun Sect disciple politely brought over a chair and helped Long Lin sit down before rubbing his hands together with a smile.
"What, can't a guest elder participate in bounties?"
Long Lin rolled his eyes and said.
"No, no, of course not!"
The Qingyun Sect disciple realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly replied with a forced smile. In the cultivation world, strength is paramount. Although Long Lin was only at the Core Formation stage, his status as a guest elder was something he absolutely could not afford to offend, because if any guest elder were to become angry, they, as low-ranking outer sect disciples, simply couldn't afford to suffer.
"In that case, let's exchange for spirit stones!"
Long Lin said without any politeness. He didn't have much goodwill towards the Qingyun Sect now; it was merely a matter of mutual exploitation, and there was no real affection involved. Therefore, he wasn't very polite to this Qingyun Sect disciple.
If an ordinary cultivator were to be so arrogant, even an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect would be displeased. However, Long Lin was currently a guest elder, so the Qingyun Sect disciple merely chuckled but dared not say anything. He immediately asked cautiously, "Elder Long, do you know the rules of this bounty?"
"What rules?"
Long Lin asked, slightly taken aback. Of course, he didn't know the rules of the bounty. He had only been here for two days, and neither Shangguan Shuyuan, True Person Wuye, nor even the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect had mentioned any rules. How would he know?
"Elder Long doesn't know. According to the rules of the bounty, if a Celestial Master who has already become an elder of the Qingyun Sect participates in a Gold-level bounty, then the bounty amount is automatically reduced by half!"
The Qingyun Sect disciple's expression immediately changed, and he forced a smile as he spoke cautiously. It seemed that this Long Lin was not someone to be trifled with. If he angered him, no one would care if he lost his life.
"Half?"
Long Lin murmured, then suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "Good, good method! Indeed, a good way to win over rogue cultivators!" As he laughed, he gave the Qingyun Sect disciple, whose forehead was already covered in cold sweat, a meaningful look.
"Alright, half it is! Now that the bounty has been paid, I still have things to do!"
Long Lin waved his hand dismissively. Luckily, Wang Erniu and Thirteen Sister were dead; otherwise, the half and third of the bounty wouldn't have been worth risking his life against the Blood Cave Ancestor.
He used to work for a mercenary group, always raising prices for difficult missions, never encountering a buyer lowering the price after a mission was completed. Besides, even that audacious Black-bellied fellow had been riddled with holes by his mercenary group.
Long Lin had always made sure all his mercenary clients knew that there were certain people in this world you couldn't afford to offend. But now, he readily accepted the half-price bounty.
After collecting the bounty, Long Lin didn't linger, quickly heading towards Qingyun Town. The bloodlust from the battle with the Blood Cave Ancestor of Blood Soul Valley hadn't completely dissipated; he really needed to relax. He knew that there was a good place in the Cloud Market of Qingyun Town, a place that specialized in selling immortal slaves. Moreover, the celestial slaves there are very beautiful.

Chapter 212 Celestial Slaves
Update Time: 9-16 9:05:55 Words: 4122

Qingyun Town's Yunmen Market boasts the largest celestial slave trading market in the surrounding area.
Celestial slaves are an indispensable part of the cultivation world, or rather, things. Although they possess human appearances and even the magical power of cultivators, they lack self-awareness. They are a means of profit developed by cultivators skilled in celestial slave production.
Most cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stages possess a spiritual mansion of varying sizes, and how could such a mansion lack celestial slaves?
Therefore, the market here is quite booming.
"Hercules Kado! Possessing immense strength, proficient in architecture and decoration, he is an indispensable talent for your construction and renovation of your spiritual mansion!"
The red curtain on the bluestone platform was drawn back, revealing a man two zhang tall, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, with muscles as dense and full as tree roots. His mere presence on the platform immediately created a sense of oppression among the many male cultivators below. This guy is damn strong. And there was his enormous thing hanging there, practically an ancient weapon.
Perhaps out of jealousy, many male cultivators turned their faces away disdainfully. Some carefully raised their arms, but seeing that their muscles were no match for the muscular man above, they finally sighed and lowered their arms. However, quietly, some female cultivators' faces flushed slightly, a hint of shyness appearing. Heaven knows what they were thinking about when they looked at this muscular immortal slave.
"Starting price, three thousand spirit stones!"
The immortal slave broker, dressed in a black trench coat and sporting a small mustache, announced the price. Soon, people began to bid. The immortal slave market in Yunmen Market adopted an auction format. The market offered various immortal slaves, and then waited for the cultivators below to bid. The highest bidder won.
"Three thousand five hundred spirit stones!"
"Four thousand spirit stones!"
"Six thousand spirit stones!"
After all, most cultivators were not very proficient in building and decorating their spiritual mansions, so immortal slaves with such skills and strong physiques were very sought-after.
"I bid eight thousand spirit stones!"
A sweet, cloying voice rang out, instantly drawing the attention of countless cultivators. However, upon seeing the stunningly beautiful yet wickedly sinister face, they all quickly turned away.
"Nine thousand spirit stones!"
Another elderly female cultivator, seemingly hundreds of years old, also shouted, her breathing quickening as she gazed at the muscular male immortal slave on the platform.
"Ten thousand spirit stones..."
A shrill voice rang out, belonging to a man with powdered face and painted nails.
"Damn it, another perverted freak!"
Long Lin cursed inwardly, turning his face away. He had no interest in such muscular men, and of course, he had no need to use such a person to build his spiritual palace.
However, the bidding continued. Soon, the price of this strongman celestial slave named Kado skyrocketed to 50,000 spirit stones. Those cultivators who intended to buy him to build their own spiritual palaces all gave up, except for the alluring middle-aged woman, the woman who had lived for thousands of years, and the grotesque man with the shrill voice. The three of them continued to bid.
"100,000 spirit stones!"
The middle-aged woman bit her flesh-colored lips and coldly announced the price.
The old woman and the male cultivator cast surprised glances, hesitated for a moment, but neither spoke again.
"100,000 spirit stones, the strongman Kado is yours! Please go backstage to pay the spirit stones and collect your celestial slave!"
The celestial slave broker made the final decision, his smile carrying a strange undertone, as if he were secretly lamenting that he wasn't as muscular as Kado.
As the middle-aged woman walked out of the auction house, a murmur of disapproval rippled through the crowd. Disdain, sighs, regret, even muttered curses…
However, the celestial slave broker's voice soon rang out again. The first auction featured three maidservants, whose looks were merely average, but they were clever, quick-witted, and very understanding.
These maidservants quickly sold for 30,000 spirit stones each, purchased by a young immortal couple. After all, having such maidservants in the spirit palace would at least provide some psychological balance for the female cultivators, alleviating concerns about unforeseen events.
Next up were werewolf maidservants who could act as henchmen, farmer maidservants skilled in planting, and others, each with their own uses, but their competitiveness was significantly weaker, and they were all sold for between 8,000 and 10,000 spirit stones each.
Then, the maidservant broker gestured for silence and said in a seductive voice:
"Next up is the maidservant Elisa… modeled after the legendary beauties of the Western world. Besides her looks and figure, she can brew Western wines, and her entire body is extremely sensitive…"
A wicked smile crept across the broker's face as he said this.
A chorus of boos erupted from the crowd. The red curtain on the bluestone platform slowly rose, revealing a stunningly beautiful blonde woman with blue eyes, completely naked. Her swaying hips instantly drew the attention of every man present. Some men's noses bled slightly, while others were kicked hard by their companions, wincing in pain but daring not to utter a sound.
"Damn it, so disgusting!"
Long Lin muttered to himself. Not far from him, in a corner, a man in a black cloak, his face obscured, was emitting suppressed, low groans. His black robes trembled rapidly beneath.
On the platform, the celestial slave named Alice performed various alluring movements, causing the men below to swoon and the female cultivators to grit their teeth, secretly cursing her as a vixen.
"Alissa, interesting, interesting..."
Long Lin, though gritting his teeth, was reminded of Alice from his past life—the woman he trusted most but who ultimately caused his death.
"Alright, I must get my hands on this woman!"
Long Lin muttered.
"Starting price: 100,000 spirit stones!"
When the fairy slave broker announced this price, the room erupted in an uproar… This was the first time a woman with exotic features had been auctioned in the Cloud Market of Qingyun Mountain, and the male cultivators' gazes became even more fervent because of the price. Of course, some also instantly lost hope upon hearing the price.
A starting price of 100,000 was enough to buy a stunning fairy slave; this blonde, blue-eyed woman was still a woman after all, and they said that once the lights were turned on, they were all the same, weren't they?
"150,000 spirit stones!"
A fat, portly male cultivator immediately raised his large hand, adorned with a blood-jade thumb ring. He was a rogue cultivator from Qingyun Mountain, seemingly stuck at the Core Formation stage for hundreds of years without advancement. However, he was a renowned jade merchant with a large sum of spirit stones to squander.
"180,000 spirit stones!"
Another bid came in, from a skinny, bony old man. Judging from his servants, he was clearly a wealthy and powerful merchant-cultivator.
"200,000 spirit stones! This young master wants it!"
At this moment, a young man with dyed reddish-yellow hair and a thin silver chain around his mouth arrogantly shouted. Upon hearing his bid, the faces of the two men who had been somewhat smug immediately turned ugly. They sighed and sat down in their chairs, remaining silent. They had offended this young man.
A murmur rippled through the crowd, and those nearby whispered among themselves that this young man was the young master of the nearby Lin family, a prominent cultivation clan, named Lin Feng. His father had not only reached the late stage of Core Formation, but it was also rumored that there was an old monster in the Nascent Soul stage in the family. The Lin family also controlled the coal business within a thousand miles, making them incredibly wealthy.
Rich families often produce spoiled brats, and Lin Feng was clearly a纨绔子弟 (a spoiled, dissolute young man).
After he announced a high price of 200,000, the room fell silent; it seemed no one could compete with him. A smug look appeared on Lin Feng's face.
At this moment, the celestial slave broker also smiled, preparing to smash the gavel and sell Elisa to Lin Feng for 200,000.
"Anyone else bidding?"
Lin Feng's face was full of disdain, as if this foreign woman was already his.
"250,000 spirit stones!"
A somewhat weak voice rang out from a corner, immediately attracting everyone's attention. Long Lin hadn't expected that the one who had bid the high price and competed with this young master of the Lin family was the black-robed man he had been secretly working with.
"Who the hell are you, daring to compete with me for a woman?"
Lin Feng suddenly stood up from his seat and cursed at the man in black robes. However, his curse had barely left his mouth when his body trembled violently as if he had been struck by a heavy blow, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.
This change was so sudden that no one could see what had caused Lin Feng's injury. As for the man in black robes, he remained seated, completely unmoved, as if he hadn't even made a move.
With a whoosh, more than a dozen young men in white robes, wielding sharp swords and with piercing eyes, appeared in the arena. The aura emanating from them was enough to indicate that they all possessed considerable cultivation. This was the guard team of Yunmen Market, and also top-tier fighters from the outer sect of Qingyun Sect. Their appearance immediately suppressed the impulse of the several burly men behind Lin Feng to attack.
The auctioneer coughed, "Please calm down, everyone. Young Master Lin, this is an auction; please abide by the rules. Settle your personal grudges outside. Also, regarding Young Master Lin's injury at the auction, our Qingyun Sect will naturally give the Lin family patriarch an explanation."
His words were neither arrogant nor servile, yet his aura was intimidating. Since the Qingyun Sect and the Lin family were involved, even Lin Feng had to temporarily swallow his anger, glancing back fiercely before sitting down again. Someone nearby took out healing pills and fed them to him.
"The auction continues! Please place your bids!"
Seeing the situation under control, the auctioneer raised his gavel and announced the continuation of the auction.
"Two hundred and fifty-one thousand spirit stones!"
At this moment, a burly man next to Lin Feng suddenly shouted loudly, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, but he also gave a mocking smirk.
"Two hundred and thirty thousand spirit stones!"
The black-robed man not far from Long Lin still spoke with a strong voice.
A cold smile appeared on the face of the burly man beside Lin Feng. "Two hundred and thirty-one thousand spirit stones!"
Although no one in the room spoke again, a hint of disdain appeared on their faces. It was clear that Lin Feng had been humiliated, but dared not retaliate in this auction, so he simply resorted to this almost rogue bidding method, purely to disrupt the mysterious man in black robes.
"Two hundred and thirty thousand spirit stones per stone!"
the middle-aged man continued.
Long Lin smiled slightly and looked at the mysterious man in black robes not far from him. The man in black robes remained silent, his voice still weak: "Two hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones!"
Just now, when Lin Feng was inexplicably injured, although no one saw the man in black robes make a move, Long Lin noticed that for a moment, the man in black robes' lips moved, as if he was muttering something, giving off a strange and eerie aura like that of the dead.
"Hun Tian... can you tell where this guy comes from?"
Long Lin gently placed his hand on his storage ring, and a spiritual energy entered the Qian Yuan Sword in the storage ring.
"This is really weird... but it seems to be a mental attack. Could this guy be a Western sorcerer?"
The voice of the Hun Tian Ancestor echoed in Long Lin's mind. He wasn't sure about the guy's origins either.
"Long Lin, that girl on stage isn't an ordinary fairy slave... you have to find a way to get her!"
the Hun Tian Ancestor said again.
"Yes, definitely!"
Long Lin nodded. Now, besides his past life connection, he had developed a new interest in Elisa on stage. Therefore, Long Lin was determined to get Elisa.
At this moment, the bidding between the black-robed mystery man and the Lin family had reached a fever pitch. Under the Lin family's shameless demands, the black-robed man also became somewhat angry and had already raised the price to 600,000 spirit stones.
"800,000 spirit stones!"
The black-robed man directly raised the bid by 200,000, which immediately caused a stir among the audience.
"Haha... alright, 800,000, this little girl is yours!"
Lin Feng stood up, extended a middle finger at the black-robed man, and said mockingly.
"Eight hundred thousand... eight hundred thousand... okay... done..."
The fairy slave broker was already somewhat incoherent. A fairy slave fetching an astronomical price of eight hundred thousand spirit stones was unprecedented in Yunmen Market. However, fearing that the black-robed man would renege, he was about to finalize the deal immediately!
"Wait..."
Long Lin shouted, slowly standing up and saying, "I bid one million spirit stones!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire place fell silent. A foreign woman could actually sell for one million spirit stones? Insane! Absolutely insane!
The black-robed mysterious man's shoulders trembled. He turned his head to look at Long Lin, but unexpectedly, Long Lin was smiling at him. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and then he turned back, saying in a weak and hoarse voice, "Elisa is his!"
When Long Lin saw those cold eyes, it was as if he had been bitten by a snake. He was surprised to find that the man's eyes were just like Elisa's, also crystal blue.
"Damn it, so he's a foreign devil!"
Long Lin thought to himself, but in his eyes, besides the coldness, he also saw a hint of killing intent. At this moment, amidst the exclamations of the crowd, the fairy slave agent had already raised the wooden gavel in his hand and announced that the beautiful fairy slave Elisa from the Western Regions had been won by Long Lin!

Update Time: 9-17 11:02:37 Words: 3139

"Young master, you must be careful, that man in black robes has already decided to kill you!"
After leaving the Cloud Market in Qingyun Town, there was a small path leading directly to the inn in the town. After walking through a large forest, the Hun Tian Ancestor warned him.
"Don't worry, I'll handle that foreign devil!"
Long Lin laughed, glancing back at Alyssa, who was swaying her hips behind him. His gaze lingered on her without restraint, seemingly trying to peek inside her open collar. This was his woman now, and she would never resist him. Haha… Alyssa, you've finally met your match!
Although Long Lin knew this wasn't the real Alyssa, having someone with him at all gave him an outlet for the frustration of being wronged in his past life.
"Back at the inn, I'll show you what I'm made of!"
Long Lin thought to himself. Didn't that fairy slave agent say she was very sensitive? He'd see just how sensitive she was!
"Whoosh…"
A whistling arrow grazed Long Lin's forehead, embedding itself in a tree not far away with a whoosh.
This grove was quiet, rarely frequented. Long Lin chose this path not for safety, but purely out of fear of danger. Knowing someone was plotting against him, why would he have to avoid them? Wouldn't that just make him uneasy?
The arrow was deliberately aimed ahead; had Long Lin taken another step forward, it would have pierced his head. But at that very moment, Long Lin stopped abruptly.
"Guests in the forest, this kind of hospitality isn't quite right,"
Long Lin said coldly, casually waving his hand, and Alyssa's body was stored in his storage ring. Normally, such a celestial servant shouldn't be stored arbitrarily, as this would severely damage her spiritual energy. The best approach was to place her in his spiritual abode or have her travel with her master. However, in this extraordinary situation, Long Lin wouldn't allow the beauty he had bought at great expense to be threatened. After all, staying in this storage ring for a while was harmless. *
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…*
A series of footsteps sounded, and a dozen burly men in black leaped out of the woods. In the center was Lin Feng, the young master of the Lin family.
Lin Feng swayed on his toes, picking his nose with his little finger, his dyed yellow hair resembling a straw nest in autumn—a typical image of a spoiled brat.
He glanced at Long Lin with his small eyes, asking in a mocking voice, "Kid, where do you think you're going?"
Long Lin crossed his arms and smiled slightly, "So it's Young Master Lin, my apologies. But I think Young Master Lin should go find that guy in black robes, not me!"
"Is that so?"
Lin Feng's leg trembled as if it were cramping, and he flicked a piece of booger off his little finger. "I'll go find that guy, but I'm here to see you now."
"What brings you here, Young Master Lin?"
Long Lin's expression remained calm. He crossed his arms, squinting at Lin Feng, looking at him like he was watching his son show off.
"Nothing much, just leave that girl here, and you can go wherever you want!"
"Oh, what if I don't?" "
If you don't, don't blame me, Lin Feng, for being ruthless!"
But before Lin Feng could finish the word "ruthless," he suddenly felt a burning pain on his lips, and hurriedly touched them, only to find a warm pool of blood.
"Damn it, cripple him!"
Lin Feng roared.
"Kill!"
A dozen burly men, receiving Lin Feng's command, roared and charged towards Long Lin.
A hint of disdain flashed in Long Lin's eyes. He flicked the thin silver chain in his hand, and his figure vanished like a wisp of wind.
The fists and kicks of the dozen or so burly men had already landed, but suddenly lost their target. Actually, Long Lin hadn't disappeared; his movements were simply too fast. He had already circled behind one of the burly men and gently patted him on the back.
The burly man let out a deep groan, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his body flying away like a kite with a broken string. Then, while the other black-clad men were still in shock, they had each been struck by Long Lin's palm and sent flying, their blood staining the nearby flowers and grass.
"What a pity...what a pity, such beautiful flowers and grass have been polluted by you!"
Long Lin sighed softly.
The difference was absolute. The thugs Lin Feng brought all possessed early Foundation Establishment cultivation and excellent martial arts skills; even a dozen of them combined would be difficult for a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator to withstand. However, against Long Lin, a mid-Core Formation cultivator, they were simply not on the same level.
"You..."
Lin Feng was startled. He swung his arms, and an ice sword condensed a foot in front of his chest, about to shoot towards Long Lin.
"Wait!"
Lin Feng's ice sword was forcefully blocked by an oncoming force, and for a moment he couldn't launch it. He stared at Long Lin in disbelief, cold sweat already beading on his forehead.
There was no doubt that this time, Young Master Lin had met his match. When he saw the cyan jade slip in Long Lin's palm, he was so frightened that he knelt down with a thud, saying, "Senior, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! Please spare my life, Immortal Master!"
The jade token of a guest elder of the Qingyun Sect is only issued to cultivators above the Core Formation stage. Seeing this jade token, Lin Feng naturally knew Long Lin's identity and cultivation level.
Although the Lin family was considered a major cultivation family here, their strength was incomparable to that of the Qingyun Sect. Offending a guest elder of the Qingyun Sect had brought the Lin family a lot of trouble.
"Alright, get up!"
Long Lin said, then waved his hand, and a surge of spiritual energy forcefully lifted Lin Feng up.
"Seeing that you know what's good for you, fine, I won't hold it against you! This... here you go!"
Long Lin tossed the silver chain back to Lin Feng, whose lips were now gaping open, making it impossible for him to wear the chain.
"Thank you for your mercy, Immortal Master! Senior, please give me any orders, and I will go through fire and water to atone for my sins!"
Lin Feng said urgently, bowing, seemingly having forgotten the pain in his lips.
"No orders, um... but from now on, dress more like a Chinese person! Black eyes, black hair, it'll look better!"
Long Lin smiled slightly and then walked forward.
"Yes, Lin Feng will obey Senior's instructions! Respectfully seeing you off, Senior!"
Lin Feng hurriedly replied.
After taking a few steps, Long Lin suddenly stopped and turned back, saying, "By the way, don't provoke that man in black robes, you're no match for him!"
Lin Feng was shocked and exclaimed in surprise, but Long Lin had already strode away.
"Hurry up and go check!"
Lin Feng stomped his foot angrily, throwing the thin silver chain heavily at his feet. While he was attacking Long Lin, he had already sent some other men to teach the man in black robes a lesson.
"Damn it... what's wrong with my brain!"
Lin Feng slapped his head and said angrily.
At this moment, on a desolate path leading out of Qingyun Town, more than a dozen burly men in black robes lay scattered about, their bodies unmarked, but without breath or heartbeat.
The red light in the eyes of the mysterious man in the black cloak gradually faded, returning to its eerie, crystalline blue. He gave a cold laugh at the corpses, muttered a few words under his breath, and then strode away into the distance.
A short while later, several fast horses galloped from the town and arrived before the black-clad corpses. One rider jumped off, embraced a corpse, and began to wail loudly.
"Alright, stop crying. Go back and report to the young master..."
At this moment, an older man among the men in black said, then mounted his horse and rode off into the distance.
The remaining young man in black, who was crying loudly, wiped away his tears, muttered a curse under his breath, and also mounted his horse and galloped towards Qingyun Town.
"It's over!"
After hearing the old man's report, Lin Feng's heart sank to the bottom. He muttered to himself and slumped weakly into his seat.
After a long while, Lin Feng finally came to his senses and said to the man in black beside him, "Investigate! Investigate! Find out everything about this bastard. Hmm, I'm going to find my father. With such a big incident, our Lin family can't just end like this! You son of a bitch, don't let me catch you!"
"Yes, young master!"
the man in black replied immediately and then went out.
In Qingyun Town, chaos immediately broke out in the Lin family. The mysterious man in black robes in Yunjian Market also attracted the attention of the Qingyun Sect. Of course, as the largest player in the area, the Qingyun Sect conducted all its investigations and operations in secret. Even the bloodless massacre of the black-robed man against the black-clad man outside Qingyun Town had already been observed by Qingyun Sect spies.
At this moment, all the guest elders of the Qingyun Sect nearby simultaneously received a spiritual scroll with the mission of finding the black-robed man and confirming his identity. Of course, a reward was offered.
Long Lin, in the Qingyun Town inn, carefully read the spiritual scroll, smiled slightly, and with a flash of magical light, the scroll burst into flames, burning completely.
"Elisa, come out!"
Long Lin burned the scroll, gently swiped his hand on his storage ring, and a red light flashed, instantly revealing Elisa's beautiful figure before him.
Long Lin sat down in a chair, beckoned to Elisa, and then pointed downwards.
A blush crept across Elisa's face as she agreed and knelt between Long Lin's legs, her two snow-white hands caressing his bulging area.
Long Lin grabbed a tuft of Elisa's golden hair, held it to his nose, and inhaled the intoxicating fragrance.
However, he then forcefully pressed Elisa's head down, eliciting a muffled moan from her.
Long Lin's gaze pierced through the room, now resting on the window. His spiritual sense detected a strange, dark figure silently approaching from afar.
"Damn foreign devil, you've finally come!"
Long Lin chuckled inwardly, tightening his grip on Elisa's head, lifting it up and down, savoring the unparalleled pleasure.

Chapter 214 The Mind Wizard
Update Time: 9-18 13:13:04 Words: 3587

"Oh..."
Long Lin let out a comfortable groan, his fingers sliding through Elisa's golden hair, then commanded, "Say it, say I'm having a great time..."
With her mouth stuffed full, Elisa whimpered indistinctly, "Grandpa, I'm having a great time..."
Long Lin laughed loudly, a surge of pleasure rising in his heart.
She actually killed him for those gold, this damned bitch, even in her dying moments she had a bloody, intertwined penetration with him, damn it!
Suddenly, a surge of rage rose from Long Lin's heart, and he kicked Elisa in the stomach.
Elisa was blowing even more enthusiastically, but suddenly struck by the blow, she groaned and fell backward, Long Lin pounced on her and slapped her fair, flawless face hard, Elisa suddenly covered her head with her hands and screamed.
"You bitch, you've finally met your match!"
Long Lin cursed as he brutally beat Elisa. However, a wisp of his spiritual consciousness quietly coiled around a window frame not far away, silently watching the black shadow outside.
"Elisa..."
Seeing Long Lin's rough treatment of Elisa, the black-robed man's breathing became heavy, and a flush of anger appeared on his pale face. Perhaps he was too weak, for his voice, gritting his teeth, was so feeble.
"You filthy bitch! Are those men fun?"
Long Lin roared gleefully, raising his foot to crush Elisa's snow-white, proud breasts, slowly increasing the pressure. Under the weight, Elisa frowned, her snowballs being squeezed and twisted into an odd shape.
"Hoo..."
The black-robed man outside the window let out a long breath, his pupils suddenly flashing with an eerie red.
*Crack...*
The wisp of spiritual consciousness coiled around the window frame was suddenly struck, shattering like crystal upon impact. That invisible force easily pierced through the window and shot towards Long Lin's chest.
However, just as Long Lin was relentlessly tormenting Elisa, he seemingly unintentionally shifted his body, managing to dodge the force.
With a deafening crash, the ceramic kettle on the table shattered into dust in an instant.
"Hahaha… Since the gentleman outside the window has arrived, why not come in and sit down?"
Long Lin laughed loudly, taking two steps back, his hands behind his back, his eyes gleaming as he gazed out the window.
The eerie red light in the black-robed man's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by surprise on his pale face. But Long Lin had already discovered his presence, so he had no choice but to comply.
He slowly took a few steps forward, drifting in like a ghost through the window Long Lin had magically opened.
"Sit!"
Long Lin gestured to a chair beside him. Elisa had already gotten up from the ground, standing to one side in a pitiful state. Her body was covered in dirty footprints, and a trace of blood lingered at the corner of her mouth. Without Long Lin's command, she could do nothing.
The fate of celestial slaves was truly tragic, but they were not human, and no one treated them as such. Especially for Long Lin, how could he possibly treat a woman who looked exactly like his enemy kindly, except by abusing her?
"Elisa..."
The man in black robes floated into the room, glanced at the disheveled Elisa, his pale face flushing crimson, then bent over and coughed heavily.
"Sir, may I see what you look like?"
Long Lin was unmoved by his pitiful appearance, crossing his arms and speaking coldly. Even someone so weak, almost collapsing with a breath, possessed a power emanating from his eyes enough to kill several people. He didn't want to become the ceramic kettle behind him.
"Cough cough!"
The man in black robes coughed again, then nodded, slowly removing his black cloak to reveal golden curly hair and a pale, handsome face.
Long Lin had to admit, this guy was quite handsome, especially his golden, woolly curls, deep-set blue eyes, and high, straight nose. Aside from his lips, perhaps pale from blood loss, he was definitely a European count with a noble air.
"An Italian?"
Long Lin was slightly surprised, but then asked with a smile.
"Irish... Peter Edward, of pure Peter family blood, a First Earl!"
The man in black robes was pale and his voice was somewhat weak, but his Chinese was quite good, though with a slight rolled "r".
"So you are Earl Edward... My apologies! I am Long Lin."
Long Lin said with a faint smile.
"My apologies! Can you... release her?"
A flicker of hesitation crossed Edward's eyes before he finally asked.
"She? She's my... enemy!"
Long Lin said softly, but the last two words were uttered with heavy emphasis.
"Impossible... She's never left the castle, nor has she ever fed on anyone. She's as pure as an angel, she's my sister..."
A flush rose to Edward's face as he spoke haltingly, his voice trembling with nervousness.
"You... are from a vampire family?"
Long Lin suddenly asked. Wasn't Alice a celestial slave created by those cultivators? How could she be his sister, and he said she hadn't fed on anyone...? The image of a gentleman in a tailcoat flashed through Long Lin's mind in that dark, damp, centuries-old castle.
"No..."
Edward shook his head. "We're not vampires, we're psychic wizards..."
"Psychic wizards?"
Long Lin was secretly startled. He could believe he was a vampire, but he had never heard of psychic wizards before.
Edward nodded, glanced at Elisa, and said, "I only have 800,000 spirit stones. If you can return her to me, I can do something for you."
Long Lin suddenly laughed. "I told you she's my enemy. I spent a fortune to get revenge, do you understand?"
"No, she's not your enemy!"
Edward stubbornly shook his head and said, "If we're talking about enemies, then your enemy looks a lot like her!"
Long Lin sighed inwardly. He had to admit that what this guy said made perfect sense! However, how could he easily give away the person he had worked so hard to acquire, especially since he had spent all his savings to buy her?
"One thing. It's not easy to hire a psychic wizard... What do you want? Money... beauty... power, I can give you anything!"
Edward said weakly but eagerly. Although his voice lacked strength, a hint of pride appeared on his face.
"Then why don't you fight me?"
Long Lin asked directly.
"I can't beat you..."
Edward said. From the moment Long Lin dodged his attack, he could tell that this person was not someone to be trifled with.
"Alright then..."
Long Lin suddenly nodded. In truth, he knew perfectly well that this Elisa wasn't his enemy. It seemed that Edward was actually somewhat sincere. "However, you said you could get money, so why could you only get 800,000 spirit stones?"
Seeing Long Lin agree, a glint flashed in Edward's eyes, and he hurriedly said, "I don't have enough energy right now. This is the Central Plains... I can't seek too much energy here, otherwise, you know, your magic is very powerful!"
Long Lin knew that Edward was telling the truth. Whether he was a psychic wizard or a vampire, if he came to this territory to harm people, all the rogue cultivators in the Central Plains would probably wipe them out.
"Alright, actually, money is worthless to me. I'll remember what you promised me! Take her and go!"
Long Lin said after a moment's thought.
"Really? You allowed it?"
Edward's face showed a hint of disbelief. He hadn't expected that this Eastern Immortal Master would let him go so easily.
"Of course it's true. Also, I sincerely apologize to you for the harm I caused her!"
Long Lin said.
"No need..."
Edward was initially excited, but then said with some pain, "Actually, she's just an empty shell now!"
"Hmm... Before you leave, I have one more question."
"Immortal Master, please tell me, as long as I know..."
Edward said hurriedly.
"Why is your will, oh no, your mental power, so strong?"
Long Lin asked bluntly.
Edward hesitated for a moment, then looked at the expressionless Elisa beside him, and sighed as if he had made a great decision, saying, "This is the secret of our mental power wizards, but I can tell you the method of cultivation, hmm... This doesn't count as one of the things I promised you."
Long Lin nodded, very satisfied with Edward's reaction. This foreigner was straightforward, single-minded, and always concerned with gentlemanly conduct and keeping his promises.
"A parchment scroll..."
Long Lin exclaimed in surprise as he saw Edward take something out of the large black robe. He sighed inwardly; since Edward had offered up something so important, he might as well be a gentleman and keep his promise.
Taking the parchment scroll, Long Lin casually flipped through it and found that it contained many things recorded in strange script, which he couldn't understand. Although Long Lin knew two world languages, the script wasn't ordinary words, but rather a collection of symbols that looked like incantations.
"As long as you concentrate your mind and channel a wisp of magic into this parchment scroll, you can access the secret techniques recorded on it!"
Seeing Long Lin's furrowed brow, Edward understood his thoughts and explained with a smile.
Sure enough, when Long Lin concentrated his mind and channeled a wisp of magic into it, he instantly felt an immense amount of information and incantations flooding his mind.
In a mere instant, Long Lin had grasped all the information within the parchment scroll. It was a method specifically for cultivating spiritual power, including self-cultivation to enhance spiritual power, as well as absorbing external forces to significantly boost one's spiritual power in a short period. Of course, there were also various applications of spiritual power, such as spiritual attacks, using spiritual power to move objects, and eavesdropping.
"You can go now... be careful of others!"
Long Lin smiled contentedly and then said to Edward.
"Thank you! Long Lin, Eastern Immortal Master, we will become friends... I will welcome you to Ireland!"
Edward smiled, then drew a strange octagonal symbol in front of him, shaped like a leaf. Although the octagonal symbol was drawn in the air, it seemed to have materialized and gently floated to Long Lin's face.
"That one thing, I'll wait for you to ask me to do! This is the method to contact me. As long as you concentrate your spiritual power on this symbol, we can contact each other! However, if I die, this symbol will automatically disappear,"
Edward said.
"Okay... I'll keep it safe!"
Long Lin nodded and put the symbol into his storage ring. Then he glanced at Elisa again and sighed inwardly.
Edward, his black robe billowing around Elisa, disappeared out the window.
"One million spirit stones for a set of mental power techniques... was it worth it?"
Long Lin murmured, stroking his chin and looking at the ceramic dust on the table. However, he knew that regardless of the value, having this technique meant he had at least one more trump card. This kind of mental power attack, while not extremely powerful, was definitely a good method for a sneak attack.

Chapter 215 The Lin Family
Update Time: 9-19 8:38:57 Words: 4054

"Is Immortal Master Longlin staying here?"
A somewhat aged voice came from downstairs, asking the waiter.
Longlin could hear it, of course. Even without the aid of his mental powers, he could clearly hear the subtle sounds coming from upstairs and downstairs. Moreover, although the voice was somewhat aged, it was absolutely full of energy, like the resounding of a bell.
"Yes, Immortal Master Longlin is upstairs!"
the waiter answered honestly.
Longlin couldn't help but frown slightly. The reason he chose this inn was because the waiter was clever and quick-witted. But he didn't expect him to reveal his whereabouts so quickly.
However, he simply shook his head slightly, stood up, and walked outside.
"Alright, let's go upstairs and invite him!"
"Master Lin... Immortal Master Longlin said that strangers should not disturb him. May I go and inform him?"
the waiter hurriedly replied.
"No need... This gentleman must be the patriarch of the famous Lin family, right?"
Longlin slowly walked down the stairs and said. No wonder the waiter didn't dare to hide it; it turned out a very important person had arrived.
The Lin family was quite prestigious in Qingyun Town, and the patriarch, Lin Mubai, was especially renowned. He was a late-stage Core Formation expert, although he had lingered at this level for decades without breaking through, but he still had great potential at his age.
"I am indeed Lin Mubai. This must be Immortal Master Longlin. My apologies for not recognizing you!"
Lin Mubai said politely, clasping his hands in a fist salute.
"Indeed, it is Longlin. May I ask what brings Patriarch Lin to my door?"
Longlin said with a faint smile, taking a few steps down into the hall.
"Hehe, I wouldn't dare to offer advice..."
Lin Mubai laughed, then said to the waiter, "Find a quiet room. I need to discuss some matters with Immortal Master Longlin!" Seeing the waiter agree, he then said to Longlin, "Immortal Master Longlin, it's not appropriate to talk here. Let's sit down and discuss it slowly!"
Upstairs, in a fresh and elegant room, one could see the beautiful scenery of Qingyun Mountain through the window.
Watching the waiter set out tea and snacks and leave, Lin Mubai said, "Immortal Master Long, my son was rude the other day, and I, Lin Mubai, apologize!"
He then bowed respectfully.
"Clan Chief Lin is too kind. Your son is still young, and I had no intention of blaming him!"
Long Lin said with a slight smile. Since Lin Mubai had come to apologize in person, Long Lin naturally forgave the past. After all, he was also a Core Formation cultivator and the head of a clan; such consideration was sufficient.
"Let's not dwell on the past! I, Long Lin, am merely a rogue cultivator, holding the nominal position of Elder of the Qingyun Sect. Clan Chief Lin has truly gone too far!"
Long Lin said with a smile.
Lin Mubai sighed and shook his head repeatedly, saying, "These past years I've been so engrossed in the path of immortality that I've neglected my son's upbringing. I'm truly ashamed that he's grown up like this. From now on, I will definitely discipline him strictly and never let him continue to misbehave like this!"
In truth, the Lin family, being a powerful force in Qingyun Mountain, naturally had excellent connections. He had heard about the relationship between Long Lin, Shangguan Shuyuan, and Wu Yezhen, and naturally knew that he, as a guest elder of the Qingyun Sect, was very different from other guest elders; otherwise, he wouldn't have endured such humiliation to apologize to Long Lin.
"Of course, of course. Actually, your young master is exceptionally talented. With proper guidance, he will surely become a great man in the future!"
Long Lin said, doing him a favor.
"Immortal Master Long, you flatter me! These things are nothing but a small token of my humility. Please accept them with a smile."
Lin Mubai pushed a green jade box in front of Long Lin.
The box was opened, and a shimmering white jade lingzhi mushroom appeared before Long Lin. Long Lin was secretly startled. He had seen this white jade lingzhi mushroom in the Treasure Hunting Record; it was formed from the earth spirit of the primordial chaos during the creation of the world, containing pure, top-grade ancient spiritual energy, immensely beneficial to cultivators.
"Primordial Jade Lingzhi..."
Long Lin examined the white jade lingzhi mushroom, calling out its name. Although it contained a trace of blood, it was still of top quality, and judging from its spiritual energy, it was definitely not a fake.
"Clan Chief Lin, this Primordial Jade Lingzhi is a supreme treasure of the cultivation world! Isn't this far too precious?"
Long Lin quickly declined.
"Hehe, as long as Immortal Master Long is happy, what does this matter... What could be more important than my son's life?"
Lin Mubai laughed.
Seeing Lin Mubai's insistent insistence on accepting the gift, Long Lin smiled and said, "Clan Chief Lin, you flatter me. I meant no harm to your son. However, Clan Chief Lin, you haven't come here solely for your son's sake, have you?"
"Good... Immortal Master Long is indeed extraordinary. No wonder you've reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage at such a young age!"
Lin Mubai praised with a smile.
This White Jade Lingzhi was practically the Lin family's most prized treasure; how could he give it away so easily? Even if he truly offended Long Lin, there was no need to pay such a price. After all, Long Lin and Lin Feng hadn't yet formed a life-or-death feud, and it was normal for the Qingyun Sect to step in and resolve
the matter. "Clan Chief Lin, please speak frankly!"
Long Lin said with a smile. A single White Jade Lingzhi was worth a million mid-grade spirit stones on the market, an astronomical price. Lin Mubai's offer was certainly not simple.
"Immortal Master Long, I do indeed have a request! I beg Immortal Master Long's assistance!"
Lin Mubai said at this moment. Actually, although the white jade Ganoderma lucidum was precious, they had only three passed down from their ancestors. They were willing to pay such a high price to bring it out for a matter of great importance concerning the Lin family's future.
"Clan Chief Lin, please tell us!"
Long Lin said with a smile. While the white jade Ganoderma lucidum was valuable, it was something that could be bought with spirit stones. If the matter was too difficult or dangerous, Long Lin naturally wouldn't agree.
"Actually, it's not that difficult… Has the Immortal Master heard of the Wilderness Land?"
Lin Mubai asked with a smile.
Long Lin had certainly heard of the Wilderness Land, an ancient, uninhabited land on this vast continent. Of course, it was just a legendary place; very few people had actually been there, and those who had gone there never returned.
Seeing Long Lin nod, Lin Mubai then recounted the events.
"Grand Uncle Lin?"
Long Lin asked.
Lin Mubai nodded. "This is a brother of our ancestor. Two thousand years ago, he went to the desolate lands, but he never returned, and there has been no news of him since."
"We originally thought he was dead, but about half a year ago, we received news of him."
Lin Mubai continued speaking to himself.
Long Lin listened and roughly understood what he meant. His great-uncle encountered a strange immortal tomb in the desolate lands and got trapped inside. Now, the younger generation of the Lin family needed to rescue him. Of course, he also discovered a cultivation technique that could quickly change the physique of young people and rapidly increase their cultivation.
Two thousand years ago, this great-uncle should have reached the Nascent Soul stage, right? If he couldn't get through the mechanism, could they open it?
Long Lin bluntly raised his question.
"Well... he was able to send the message back through his spiritual clone, so he has already formed a Nascent Soul. However, he said that the mechanism of that immortal tomb is very special; it can only be opened from the outside, but not from the inside. Two thousand years have passed, and he finally managed to find a small gap to send his spiritual clone out."

"Kid...go!" Lin Mubai said. "
As Long Lin hesitated, the voice of the Hun Tian Ancestor suddenly echoed in his mind.
"This matter is a bit strange..."
Long Lin said.
"What he said is true, I'll tell you the details later! Hmm, that Hongmeng Lingzhi is very helpful for cultivating my primordial spirit, you get it for me. Also, don't worry, with me here, you won't be in any danger even if you enter the desolate land!"
the Hun Tian Ancestor said urgently.
"Alright, I agree!"
Long Lin said to the Hun Tian Ancestor in his mind, then turned to Lin Mubai and said, "Since this concerns the rise and fall of the Lin family, it would be my greatest honor to lend a hand!"
Upon hearing Long Lin's words, the worry on Lin Mubai's face vanished instantly, and his eyes flashed with joy as he said, "So, Immortal Master Long agrees?"
Long Lin smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes!"
"That's great!"
Lin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "We've finally gathered them all! Six cultivators at the mid-stage of Core Formation or above are finally complete. So, can we set off soon?"
"Sure, I don't have anything else to do anyway,"
Long Lin readily agreed.
"Good!"
Lin Mubai laughed heartily, then called out, "Waiter, bring wine, the best wine, the best dishes!"
He then seemed to suddenly remember something, pushing the white jade lingzhi on the table towards Long Lin, saying, "Brother Long Lin, you should keep this!"
Long Lin laughed, "Then I won't stand on ceremony!"
"No need to stand on ceremony, this is our duty. After the matter is settled, our Lin family will certainly present you with a generous gift!"
Lin Mubai immediately replied.
Long Lin put the white jade lingzhi into his storage ring, then asked, "Is the restriction that trapped your great-uncle really that powerful? It actually requires six late-stage Core Formation cultivators to go?"
"We're not entirely sure, but the message from our great-uncle said that at least five mid-stage Core Formation cultivators are needed to enter. To be on the safe side, we plan to find another cultivator to go with us to reduce the risk. After all, that desolate land is extremely dangerous, and we can't be too reckless."
"Who else among the people Brother Lin invited is going?"
Long Lin asked. After all, it's essential to know the background of people traveling together beforehand; otherwise, it would be difficult to handle situations where someone double-crosses you.
"Fairy Bingling, Fairy Situ, Iron-Armed Madman, and my junior brother, Master Xuanhuo Fan Lin Muzhong, plus Brother Long Lin, that makes six of us. Don't worry, I'll personally lead the team this time, and the Lin family has gone all out, so we'll be extremely cautious. Hmm, I'll make some arrangements. We'll meet at the Lin family home the day after tomorrow so everyone can get to know each other, okay?"
Lin Mubai said after pouring Long Lin a drink.
"Alright, it's settled then! However, the desolate land is dangerous, and we don't know when we'll return. The Lin family must be well-prepared!"
Long Lin said.
"Brother Long, don't worry. Actually, we started preparing as soon as we received Uncle's message, but since I'm the only one in our Lin family who has reached the Core Formation stage, it's been difficult to find help, so it's been delayed until now."
Lin Mubai sighed.
"Didn't you say that the Lin family has a Nascent Soul stage ancestor behind them?"
Long Lin asked immediately.
Lin Mubai gave a wry smile and said, "Brother Long, since you've agreed to go to the Wilderness with us, you're our Lin family's benefactor! These are just rumors; in reality, that ancestor is our Lin family's missing uncle. Alas, our Lin family is declining day by day, and the number of capable successors is dwindling. Perhaps in a few hundred years, the Lin family will disappear from the cultivation world. That's why I'm using all of the Lin family's resources to go to the Wilderness, determined to rescue our uncle."
"Yes, that makes sense! The cultivation world is declining day by day, and talent is dwindling; it's truly lamentable!"
Long Lin nodded. In fact, it wasn't just the Lin family that was suffering from a talent shortage; even the three major sects were lacking successors. The reason the Qingyun Sect tried its best to recruit rogue cultivators as guest elders was for this very reason.
"Brother Long, this matter is extremely confidential; please keep it a secret and don't let outsiders know,"
Lin Mubai added.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Long Lin readily agreed. He certainly knew what this operation meant. Leaving aside the Lin family's grand-uncle, the strange cultivation technique he discovered would be enough to cause a huge uproar in the entire cultivation world if word got out.
"Brother Lin, I have another question,"
Long Lin said at this moment.
"Please speak, brother,"
Lin Mubai's face showed worry again.
"Hehe, what I'm wondering is, the Lin family has always had a good relationship with the Qingyun Sect, why didn't we ask them for help?" The Qingyun Sect had quite a few mid-stage Core Formation experts, and even a couple of Nascent Soul stage experts.
Lin Mubai sighed and said, "This matter concerns my Lin family. The Qingyun Sect is powerful; without substantial benefits, why would they send their experts to help us? Besides, we don't trust some of the guest elders."
"Then why do you trust me, Brother Lin?"
Long Lin smiled.
Lin Mubai smiled and said, "Then I'll be frank. This time, it's all thanks to my disdainful son. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have met. Brother Long's leniency towards disdainful son Lin Feng makes me think that Brother Long is definitely a person who values loyalty."
"Lin Mubai has a good eye for people!"
Long Lin thought to himself, and then laughed loudly, "Haha... I should really thank you, young master! It's my good fortune to befriend Brother Lin!"
"Alright, to befriend Brother Long, I'll drink first!"
"I wish Brother Lin a successful journey in the wilderness, and may you achieve your goals! Cheers!"

Chapter 216 Xuanyuan Chariot
Update Time: 9-20 11:26:58 Words: 3441

Two days later, in Lin Family Manor, southeast of Qingyun Town, a wealthy noble family's manor located at the foot of a small mountain, an uninvited guest arrived.
Upon hearing the guest announce his name, the gatekeeper's face showed surprise, and he hurriedly went in to report. Before long, hurried footsteps approached, and Lin Mubai, the patriarch of the Lin family, and Lin Feng, the eldest son of the Lin family, came out to greet them with a dozen or so servants and stewards.
"Oh dear... Master Long has arrived! I am so sorry for not welcoming you sooner! Please forgive me!"
Lin Mubai called out loudly before they even
reached the door. Long Lin smiled slightly, and only after the group had reached him did he say with a smile, "Brother Lin is too kind. It is truly undeserved for you to personally greet me!"
"Master Long, I will never forget your mercy that day!"
Lin Feng added.
His previously dyed yellow hair had now been dyed back to black, the silver chain on his lips was gone, and he was dressed in a tight-fitting black outfit. His brows and eyes had lost some of their arrogance and gained a touch of heroic spirit.
"Hmm, this is what our rising star of the Lin family should look like! Not bad, not bad! The past is past, no need to mention it again!"
Looking at Lin Feng's transformed appearance, Long Lin nodded in satisfaction and smiled. It seemed Lin Mubai had indeed put considerable effort into Lin Feng.
"Hehe, this good-for-nothing brat, if it weren't for Brother Long's lesson, he wouldn't know how to repent!"
Lin Mubai said with a smile, then invited Long Lin into the manor for a chat.
The Lin family was a prominent cultivation clan in Qingyun Mountain, with over three thousand direct descendants and over ten thousand including collateral branches and servants. The clan also owned numerous taverns, inns, and shops, making the Lin family manor quite grand.
The Lin father and son, along with a group of servants, escorted Long Lin deeper into the manor. Upon reaching a magnificent long hall built of bluestone, Lin Feng and his servants took their leave at Lin Mubai's signal. Lin Mubai then chuckled, "The other immortal masters are all inside, Brother Long, please!"
"Hehe, so it seems only I, Long Lin, am late!"
Long Lin laughed.
"Brother Long, what are you saying? It's good you've arrived, there's no delay at all,"
Lin Mubai said with a smile, leading Long Lin into the hall. Inside, they bypassed two dragon-shaped corridors and entered a secret chamber. The entrance to the chamber was shimmering with spiritual light, indicating that a protective array had been set up.
The chamber was quite spacious, with a large stone table in the center, upon which lay an intricately crafted sand table. Around the table were soft chairs, a tea table, and an incense burner. It seemed to be an important meeting place for the Lin family.
At this moment, four cultivators of varying attire were seated in the chamber, conversing quietly.
"Esteemed Immortal Masters, this is the Immortal Master Long Lin I mentioned..."
Lin Mubai introduced with a smile.
Long Lin's gaze, however, did not fall on the other three, but instead settled on the only beautiful and graceful young fairy among the four.
The young fairy's face froze slightly upon seeing Long Lin, then a faint blush crept onto her cheeks. Like Long Lin, neither of them spoke.
Lin Mubai and the other three were all very familiar with worldly affairs, and they noticed the expressions on Long Lin's and the female cultivator's faces, and were equally surprised. Lin Mubai, being the host, chuckled and said, "Fairy Situ, Brother Long, perhaps we've met before?"
"Oh, so you're Fairy Situ! My apologies!"
Seeing the female cultivator's evasive look, Long Lin bowed and smiled, "I'm so sorry for my rudeness, Brother Lin. When we met, Fairy Situ and an old friend of mine looked very familiar, so I lost my composure. Please forgive me, Brother Lin and Fairy Situ."
"It's alright, it's alright..."
the female cultivator surnamed Situ said with a slight smile.
"I see... We were surprised when you two met. We thought you two knew each other before! Hehe, since it's a misunderstanding, let me introduce you!" Lin Mubai said with a smile.
"This is Fairy Bingling of Yunshui Creek..."
Lin Mubai pointed to the beautiful middle-aged woman in her thirties dressed in white.
"Long Lin greets Fairy Bingling!" Long Lin quickly bowed.
"I dare not call myself a fairy. Compared to Sister Situ, I am already old. I am Bingling Yu... Brother Long, you seem young. If you don't mind, just call me Sister Bing!"
The woman in white covered her mouth and laughed.
"This is Fairy Situ Hongyun. She was once the Holy Maiden of Prayer and Resurrection of the Great Qin Dynasty. Later, she resigned from her immortal position and is now a wandering cultivator in the Four Seas."
Lin Mubai added.
"Greetings, Brother Long Lin!"
"Fairy Situ, you are too kind!"
"This is the famous Iron-Armed Madman Ouyang Ran in the cultivation world!"
Lin Mubai pointed to the man with a full beard, broad shoulders, and a broad-bladed greatsword.
The two exchanged greetings again. Lin Mubai then pointed to the male cultivator dressed in Confucian robes and holding a fiery red folding fan, saying, "This is my younger brother, Lin Muzhong, known as the Mysterious Fire Fan."
After exchanging greetings, Lin Mubai and Lin Muzhong, acting as hosts, invited everyone to sit down and served fragrant tea. Lin Mu then said, "This trip to the Wilderness has been greatly appreciated, thanks to everyone's assistance. On behalf of the Lin family, I would like to express my gratitude!"
"Hehe, Brother Lin is too kind. Now that everyone is here, let's start planning our route!"
said Ouyang Ran, a burly, dark-faced man carrying a broadsword, with a hearty laugh. The others nodded in agreement.
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point!"
Lin Mubai said with a smile, glancing at the sand table before continuing, "The purpose of our expedition into the desolate lands has already been discussed with you all: to find the Immortal Tomb and rescue my clan's great-uncle, Lin Feifan. As for the other treasures within the Immortal Tomb, they will be divided equally among us." "
However, we must first clarify that this journey into the desolate lands is fraught with danger. Although all six of us possess extraordinary skills, the journey is still fraught with peril. If we encounter danger, we must unite and persevere. Moreover, if any of us suffer any misfortune, we will bear the consequences ourselves!"
"We understand without needing to say more!"
Bing Lingyu added, and Long Lin and the others nodded in agreement. Having received such a generous gift, they should offer assistance. If they encountered misfortune along the way, they could only blame their own bad luck and lack of skill, not others.
"We are honest people and won't do anything underhanded; let's be frank from the start. Hehe, but with the six of us here, I'm afraid no one in the cultivation world would dare to easily plot against us!"
Lin Mubai added with a smile. Only then did he approach the sand table, pointing to a spot marked with a small red flag, and said, "Everyone, look at the sand table. This is our Qingyun Mountain."
Everyone stood up and gathered around the sand table, listening to Lin Mubai's explanation.
It was only then that Long Lin noticed that the sand table was actually a miniature panoramic view of the entire continent. Although not perfectly accurate, it was fairly accurate. On the sand table, a row of small red flags stretched westward from a high mountain in the center of the continent to a desolate desert.
"From here to the desolate land, it's a total of 103,000 li. According to our great-uncle, it takes more than a month to reach the Immortal Tomb from the desolate land. We need to cross three giant swamps and two snow-capped mountains to reach that place called Jiyuan Mountain,"
Lin Mubai said.
“Over the past six months, we’ve collected a great deal of legends about the Wilderness, including a fragment of the Great Wilderness Classic written by ancient sages. After investigation, we discovered that Mount Jiyuan is actually 300,000 li away from the border of the Wilderness, and the journey involves traversing many burial grounds of ancient ferocious beasts and the hiding places of numerous demonic figures. It’s incredibly dangerous.”
“Although my great-uncle said it only took him a little over a month, he’s a Nascent Soul cultivator. With an avatar and secret techniques, his speed is much faster than ours. At my speed, it would take three times longer to get there!”
“In that case, wouldn’t our journey take more than half a year?”
Situ Hongyun said, frowning slightly, but glancing thoughtfully at Long Lin.
Lin Mubai chuckled and said, "Fairy Situ, please listen to what I have to say. Considering the long journey and the considerable time we've spent traveling, relying solely on our movement techniques to fly on swords or individual magical artifacts would be too taxing on our spiritual energy. Therefore, over the past six months, we've searched extensively and invested heavily in crafting a flying magical artifact!"
"What kind of magical artifact?"
Long Lin asked with a smile. Lin Mubai's words reminded him of his own wingless flying boat.
"Muzhong..."
Lin Mubai instructed Lin Muzhong, who immediately closed his folding fan and took out a small, black, two-wheeled iron cart, about the size of a finger, from his robes, placing it on the stone table beside the sand table.
The black two-wheeled iron chariot was exquisitely crafted, with the carriage made entirely of spirit iron. It had window frames and was covered with bright yellow curtains. The wheels and body were carved with tiny, lifelike dragon, snake, and cloud patterns, exuding spiritual energy—truly a magical artifact.
"This spirit iron chariot is a replica of the legendary ancient spiritual treasure, the Xuanyuan Chariot. It's made of icy spirit iron from the sea eye, making it incredibly sturdy,"
Lin Mubai explained.
"Brother Lin, this flying magical artifact is indeed ingenious and saves effort for long-distance travel. But I wonder how fast it can go?"
Long Lin asked with a smile. As far as he knew, ordinary flying magical artifacts, while not requiring cultivators to expend their magic power, were much slower.
"This Xuanyuan Chariot itself can travel up to five hundred li a day," Lin Mubai said with a smile. "However, it can also be pulled by spirit beasts. We even specially sought out two adult flying cloud beasts for this chariot."
"Flying cloud beasts? Flying cloud spirit beasts that can fly a thousand li a day and possess immense strength?"
Fairy Bingling exclaimed in slight surprise.
Even Long Lin couldn't help but admire them. It seemed the Lin family had indeed spared no expense on this expedition to the wilderness. The flying magical chariot, the two flying cloud beasts, and the spiritual treasures given to the four of them—even with the Lin family's immense wealth, it was practically a complete financial ruin! "Indeed," Lin Mubai
added, "with the two flying cloud beasts pulling the chariot alternately, we can travel about a thousand miles a day. If there are no obstacles along the way, we should reach Jiyuan Mountain in about a month." "Good," Ouyang Ran said, his voice booming like thunder, "Now that everything is prepared, we don't need to delay any longer. We can discuss anything else along the way!" Since the Lin family had thought of everything, no one objected. With the flying cloud beasts pulling the chariot, they wouldn't have to endure the hardships of the journey. They could simply focus on their cultivation and deal with any dangers or obstacles that arose. They all agreed immediately. Lin Mubai was naturally pleased that everyone agreed to set off early. He immediately ordered a feast to be prepared and asked everyone to stay overnight at the Lin family home. They set off early the next morning, heading straight for the desolate land.
