Eternal Life from Talisman Painting-Chapter 339 - 199: Light at the End of the Tunnel
A mere Foundation Establishment Clan like the Wang Family, who dares to trouble them?
Moreover, what he has been doing are things he has always done, so nobody suspects anything at all.
"However, before these Tribulation Cultivators left, the flags and some Dharma Robe markings hidden on the merchant ships are the marks of the Li Huo Palace!"
But, when you think about it, it makes sense. Considering the enormous grudge between the Li Huo Palace and the Wang Family, and since the Wang Family operates under the guise of Tribulation Cultivators, pretending to be the Li Huo Palace was just an incidental matter.
For him, though, this was just right.
"The bounty from the Li Huo Palace, along with the vengeance against Huang Shaohai, is perfect to let your two families fight like dogs biting dogs."
Lin Chang’an coldly sneered, not having much regard for the Wang Family either.
Not only were they arrogant and overbearing in the past, having bullied him at the Cyan Bamboo Mountain Market, but more importantly, Wang Lin had once been ready to kill him.
This grudge was not something he would easily forget.
"In your Wang Family, this item is like a pearl cast before swine; you wouldn’t use it anyway."
With a solemn expression, Lin Chang’an glanced at the place as it turned into a deserted island after the array was removed, and then directly summoned the Flying Boat.
Riding the wind and breaking waves, he headed towards the location revealed to him.
...
Only after a full day did he land on a small island with relatively barren Spiritual Energy.
Disguised as a tall, beautiful Female Cultivator, Lin Chang’an nonchalantly avoided other cultivators and, following the other’s route, arrived inside a huge cave.
At that moment, the cave was empty, with only two damaged merchant ships docked.
"It seems most of the cultivators have already set out."
Nodding secretly, Lin Chang’an noticed only a few low-cultivation Wang Family disciples before heading directly towards the cave residence of the Wang Family’s Great Elder.
"Since you’re here, come in."
Unexpectedly, upon entering the cave residence, the place was surprisingly neat, with a simplistic style of ancient furniture that astonished Lin Chang’an.
The furniture style in this cave residence was entirely like the style of the Cyan Bamboo Mountain Market in the Yue Kingdom.
Many of the furnishings were made of bamboo.
"Greetings to the Great Elder."
Facing Wang Linfei, Lin Chang’an, while disguised as a Female Cultivator, was arrogant, but in front of this Great Elder, he was very respectful.
"I heard from Fei’er that on the way back, you encountered some people from the Huang Family of the Li Huo Palace?"
"Yes, Great Elder, this person even had a Talisman Treasure..."
The Great Elder, with a beaming smile that masked his depth, invited him to sit down and kept inquiring about the details.
If it were someone else, they might have already shown their hand.
Fortunately, having obtained most of Huang Shaohai’s memories, he depicted the details and even combat habits of the Huang Family cultivators from the Li Huo Palace vividly.
The Wang Family, which had survived under the rule of the Li Huo Palace in the Yue Kingdom for hundreds of years, was well-acquainted with the Li Huo Palace.
Hearing the other matching all the details, the Great Elder secretly nodded, thinking it was genuine, and assuming the Li Huo Palace’s cultivator was not impersonated by someone else.
Throughout, the Great Elder never considered that the person in front of him might be impersonating.
Although the Immortal Cultivation Realm has many spells that can change one’s appearance, a person’s habits and previous exchanges cannot be so thoroughly obtained through simple Soul Search interrogation.
Moreover, he was in the late-stage Foundation Establishment, and the Female Cultivator’s Jade Crystal Bee was gone, lacking even the means to cover up her presence.
At such a close range, he could distinctly smell the scent of the Poisonous Flower.
This couldn’t be faked at all. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
"These are the materials for the Island Master."
The Great Elder, amiably, slowly lifted his hand, and a wooden tray appeared in front of him.
On the wooden tray, storage bags were piled up, and Lin Chang’an knew these were all high-level materials and Spirit Stones robbed from others.
In someone else’s place, they might have been tempted, but Lin Chang’an knew this ancient opportunity was far beyond these material possessions.
"Great Elder, the Island Master asked me to inquire, is there really nothing left from the original Secret Realm opportunity!?"
Having reached the island, with his powerful perception, Lin Chang’an knew there was only an old man in the late-stage Foundation Establishment, feeling very confident.
If he couldn’t win, he had the confidence to run away, so he didn’t mind taking the opportunity to intimidate a little.
Seeing the other didn’t touch these materials but instead asked this question, the Great Elder couldn’t help but frown, indeed, the Island Master still didn’t trust them.
"Doesn’t the Island Master know the strength of our Wang Family? Given that environment, managing to grab two pieces of Ancient Cultivation Techniques was already heaven’s favor.
Moreover, our Wang Family even handed over the only original manuscript left to the Island Master, given the Island Master’s insight, it should be clear that it’s beyond falsification."
The Great Elder suppressed his anger as he spoke; otherwise, why would his Wang Family have suffered such a catastrophe?
However, upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an’s heart chilled.
The original manuscript was gone!
It was given to Five Dragons Island, landing in the hands of a Core Formation Cultivator.
How could he possibly have the means to snatch it from a Core Formation Cultivator’s grasp?
However, in the next moment, a sentence from the Wang Family’s Great Elder left him feeling like another opportunity had opened up beyond the dark, like finding unexpected joy!
