Free Web NovelChapter 593: Chapter 299: Reunion
Five Dragon Island Market.
"Moo!"
The Cyan-Horned Bull joyfully shook its head back and forth, eagerly taking in the bustling market.
On either side of the wide bluestone-paved street, there were quite a few cultivators with their spirit pets.
However, the Cyan-Horned Bull restrained its aura; otherwise, Lin Chang’an didn’t want to draw attention with a Tier Three spirit beast showing up.
As for associating the Cyan-Horned Bull with him?
Ever since the Cyan-Horned Bull broke through to Tier Three, many cultivators have been influenced by it, and for a while, Cyan-Horned Bull calves in the market became hot commodities.
Just on Lin Chang’an’s way here, he encountered no less than six or seven Tier One Cyan-Horned Bulls.
"Moo!"
When the Cyan-Horned Bull saw the spirit fruits on the stall, its eyes widened, but as soon as it sniffed and found they were just ordinary spirit fruits, it snorted disdainfully.
This scene made Lin Chang’an shake his head; the Cyan-Horned Bull had clearly forgotten the days when it used to eat these low-tier spirit fruits.
Duo Bao Tower.
Although Lin Chang’an had restrained his aura along the way, he was still recognized at first glance upon entering the Duo Bao Tower of the Profound Sound Pavilion.
"I am Jian Ming, I greet the Elder!"
This time, the shopkeeper of Duo Bao Tower was replaced by a middle-aged Foundation Establishment late-stage cultivator, who respectfully led Lin Chang’an upstairs.
However, looking at this face similar to the former shopkeeper, Lin Chang’an rarely asked:
"Young friend, was the previous shopkeeper your elder?"
"Elder Lin, the previous shopkeeper was my father."
This middle-aged cultivator, Jian Ming, upon hearing Elder Lin’s question, dared not neglect and reported respectfully.
At the same time, he was secretly impressed by his father’s extensive connections over the years.
When Lin Chang’an heard that the previous shopkeeper had already passed away, he couldn’t help but sigh quietly.
Time flies indeed; without much notice, he found that familiar faces around him had changed.
Yet the verdant mountains and clear waters of Five Dragon Island remained unchanged.
"Elder Lin, please have a seat!"
Arriving at the pavilion on the top floor of Duo Bao Tower, Lin Chang’an sat at the tea table.
Beside him, the sword servant signaled the maid to leave with a cold expression and skillfully began to brew tea herself.
This scene filled Jian Ming, the Foundation Establishment cultivator, with envy; this is what it means to be a Core Formation cultivator.
Even Foundation Establishment cultivators must serve them so.
"Alright, the reason I came this time is that I heard you have a lead on high level Yin attribute spiritual jade?"
This high level Yin attribute spiritual jade concerns the matter of sealing demonic qi, so Lin Chang’an naturally paid attention.
Upon hearing Lin Chang’an’s inquiry, Jian Ming revealed a wry smile and cupped his hands:
"I beg the elder’s forgiveness. Previously, indeed, a Foundation Establishment cultivator had a Tier Three quality Yin attribute spiritual jade, but it seems this person has learned of Elder Lin’s collection of such spiritual objects over the years.
This person actually wishes to use this as an opportunity to meet the elder, so the purchase was not completed in the shop. Otherwise, it would have been personally delivered to the elder’s abode."
Hearing this, Lin Chang’an maintained a calm demeanor.
He had started collecting Yin attribute spiritual objects openly two years ago, so it wasn’t a secret. Anyone interested could find out with a little inquiry.
Moreover, Yin attribute spiritual objects are in demand for nurturing the primordial spirit, or in artifact refining, alchemy, and even arrays, with extremely broad uses. Therefore, Lin Chang’an didn’t mind if others speculated.
What’s more, the collection of spiritual objects beneficial for his cultivation is common on Five Dragon Island, even among many Core Formation cultivators.
To him, it wasn’t unusual at all.
"It seems this person has a request."
Those insisting on meeting a Core Formation Master naturally have other motives, and Lin Chang’an didn’t mind it.
But Jian Ming beside him broke out in a cold sweat, lowering his head and softly saying:
"I didn’t know the elder would come, so I just notified this person..."
Seeing Jian Ming so nervous, Lin Chang’an chuckled and waved his hand nonchalantly.
He was still young, not some old eccentric, stunted in cultivation or twisted by adversity.
"Master!"
The sword servant respectfully poured tea, while Jian Ming sighed in relief internally. Although he had heard of Elder Lin’s kindness before, meeting him confirmed his gentle nature.
"Elder, rest assured, I will go and urge this person!"
Jian Ming was anxious, hoping this could be handled smoothly.
He quickly left, arranging for high level pastries and the best spirit fruits to be served, while using a sound transmission talisman to repeatedly urge the person.
Sitting in the pavilion, looking down at the bustling market and the busy figures below, Lin Chang’an felt a special feeling.
After a sip of spirit tea, he reflected on once being one of the ordinary people below, and through relentless effort, reaching this point.
This feeling, it’s truly satisfying!
"Master, this person probably wants to become your disciple or has some other plans."
The sword servant, over the years, started speaking her mind a bit.
Seeing the sword servant’s baby-faced, yet cold and aloof demeanor was amusing to Lin Chang’an.
"Having some agenda is normal, after all, in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, how can you gain resources without competition?"
Lin Chang’an lightly laughed and gestured, then picked up his teacup.
Seeing that her master’s mood wasn’t affected, the sword servant stood respectfully behind him.
...
A moment later, a hurried young figure arrived at Duo Bao Tower, and under Jian Ming’s disgruntled gaze, quickly led the person to the top floor.
"Elder, the person is here, and he indeed possesses the Tier Three Yin attribute spiritual jade."
