Lin Xuankong, who was in the crowd, was taken aback. As expected of the Boss, you figured out the truth so quickly.
"Impossible! If it’s a Nine-Seal Talent, why hide it?"
Wu Liangye took a large gulp from his wine gourd, his face slightly flushed. "Such a world-shocking Nine-Seal Talent, comparable to the talent of our Ancestral Founder! If revealed, the Sect would undoubtedly spare no effort in cultivating him!"
Everyone fell silent upon hearing Wu Liangye’s words. He was right; which genius wouldn’t want the best resources?
Ma Jiang thoughtfully rolled the dice in his hand and said, "Maybe this person prefers to keep a low profile, not one for flaunting, and just likes to cultivate quietly. Or perhaps this Nine-Seal Genius doesn’t lack resources at the mont!"
Lin Xuankong looked at Ma Jiang in surprise. The Boss guessed what I was thinking again! How in sync are we?
However, the Boss and many Stewards were all wrong. What Nine Seals and Eighteen Thunder Roots? I am the Twenty-four Divine Thunder Roots!
"Sigh, who is this genius, anyway? Why be so low-profile? If I had such an earth-shattering talent, I’d want the whole world to know! This peerless genius is making a terrible mistake! A huge mistake! An extraordinary mistake!" Lin Jiao suddenly lanted.
Hearing Lin Jiao’s words, Hu Shuo, who was kneeling before the Fourth Jade, his already crimson face turning an even deeper red with excitent, roared, "Can’t you see the Stewards and Grand Chief Stewards are discussing important matters here? This is sothing that could influence our Yin Talisman Sect for centuries, a monuntal event that could even overhaul the world’s power structure! What are you blabbering about? Get back!"
Seeing his master had spoken, Lin Jiao could only grumble and shrink to the back of the crowd.
Ma Jiang, however, shook his head. "Steward Hu, I think Steward Lin Jiao has a point."
He looked at Lin Xuankong. "Xuankong, what do you think?"
Lin Xuankong: ...
In the crowd, Ma Rusong’s expression was sowhat dazed. He was clearly greatly shocked by the fact that the Sect had hidden a Nine-Seal Peerless Genius. Very soon, he thought of sothing and then couldn’t help but look at Lin Xuankong, silently thinking: Old man, so what if you’re a Silver Jade Steward? Compared to a genius who can shake the entire Yin Talisman Sect, you’re not even fit to carry his shoes! No, compared to a monstrous talent who could grow to the power of the Ancestral Founder, you, a Silver Jade Steward, aren’t even qualified to lick the soles of his boots!
At this mont, Zhao Yufei, who was extrely proud of her "Eight Gates Celestial Eye" Talent, couldn’t help but show a trace of disappointnt on her coolly beautiful face, much like Zhou Zhiruo’s. No matter how proud she was, she knew that a Nine-Seal Peerless Talent was sothing that even a hundred of her combined could not hope to match...
In the Yin Talisman Sect, there’s actually a Nine-Seal Genius! I really want to know who he is, how old he is, whether he’s male or female, and what he looks like, to possess such world-leading talent!
Zhao Yufei’s eyes flickered, her emotions incredibly complex.
Unconsciously, her gaze fell on Lin Xuankong, who stood out with his silver hair, and she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.
Lin Xuankong, Lin Xuankong, look at a Nine-Seal Peerless Genius like this! That’s what a real big shot looks like! All you did was beco a Silver Jade Steward, and you’re so eager to let the whole world know, hanging that annoying jade belt and Silver Token on your waist every day. Aren’t you worried about straining your old back!
At this mont, the Charming Grand Steward Jiang Yuran’s eyes suddenly flashed with a sly light, and she said, "Alright, I have a plan. You may all disperse for now!"
"But rember one thing: the appearance of the second mark on the Fourth Jade, and the possibility of a Nine-Seal Genius in the Sect, must not be leaked. After you return, you must keep it confidential for now, even from your spouses and families! This includes those new disciples outside; make sure they keep their mouths shut. They are not allowed to leave the assembly hall a single step for the ti being!"
The many Stewards looked at Jiang Yuran with so confusion. But since it was the Grand Steward’s order, everyone could only bow and comply. Even the extrely excited Grand Chief Stewards who had been kneeling before the Fourth Jade had to stand up and comply.
After all the Stewards and Grand Chief Stewards, who were wildly speculating, astonished, and extrely excited, had dispersed, Lin Xuankong also left the assembly hall. He exchanged greetings with Ma Jiang and Han Lu, who were still trying to guess who the genius might be, and then headed towards his own residence.
Just as he was a short distance from the assembly hall, a disciple hurriedly approached. "Steward Lin, Grand Steward Jiang wishes to see you!"
Grand Steward Jiang wants to see ? The Charming Daoist Nun is looking for ? Why is she suddenly looking for ? At this juncture, she’s sending soone to find ... Is it because of the Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunder mark?
Lin Xuankong was a bit surprised. It couldn’t be... I was very sure, absolutely certain that no one saw use the Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunder Divine Technique! In that case, why would Jiang Yuran suspect ? If she really does suspect and questions , how should I respond... Lin Xuankong pondered for a mont and then followed the disciple to the Grand Steward’s Tower.
In the hall of the Grand Steward’s Tower, an incense burner sat on a rune-decorated sandalwood table, wisps of smoke continuously rising from it. The fragrance filling the hall was invigorating, clearly indicating that the incense in the burner was of considerable value!
Lin Xuankong walked to the sandalwood table, cupped his hands, and said, "Grand Steward!"
Jiang Yuran frowned at him for a few monts, then suddenly sighed. "I can’t change the list for the Demon Slaying Conference. After sending a Flying Eagle Letter to my father, there has been no reply... You might indeed have to participate in the extrely dangerous Demon Slaying Conference!"
Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but look up at Jiang Yuran. She called here to talk about the Demon Slaying Conference?
He thought about it and nodded. "Since joining the Yin Talisman Sect, the Sect has treated well. Representing the Sect in the Demon Slaying Conference is only right and proper!"
Seeing his natural expression, seemingly without any resentnt, Jiang Yuran nodded slightly. She then opened a Jade Box that was placed by the incense burner on the table. "Joining the Demon Slaying Conference requires arduous battles for over twenty days. As the Grand Steward, I cannot fight in your place, but these three Turtle-Poria Elixirs are a small token from the Sect and myself. They can help replenish your Qi Blood during battles and grant you a better chance of survival!"
"The other five will each get one, and you get three. These are all that remain from the two batches of elixirs my father successfully refined last year; otherwise, I would certainly have given you more!"
"Thank you, Grand Steward!" Lin Xuankong looked up in slight surprise.
Turtle-Poria Elixirs could continuously replenish large amounts of Qi Blood and greatly extend one’s lifespan; it was the elixir he most coveted within the Yin Talisman Sect.
Receiving Turtle-Poria Elixirs again is a delightful surprise! If participating in the Demon Slaying Conference always yielded Turtle-Poria Elixirs from the Sect, I’d wish for the conference to be held every month! But why did the Charming Grand Steward give three while others only got one?
A hint of expectation appeared in Jiang Yuran’s eyes. "Giving you two extra Turtle-Poria Elixirs isn’t for free. I have a task for you!"
Lin Xuankong said, "Grand Steward, please tell ."
Jiang Yuran continued, "You were present today when the Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunder mark appeared. That was the second mark... Our Sect is undoubtedly hiding a genius with Nine Seals and Eighteen Thunder Roots.
"For the entire Yin Talisman Sect, this is a matter of utmost significance, one that could affect our thousands of disciples and the Yin Talisman Sect’s destiny for the next millennium! This genius is incredibly important to the Yin Talisman Sect; they are our hope for becoming a top-tier Major Sect!
"What I need you to do is find a way to locate this hidden genius. You previously captured the Flying Thief. Although you kept so details hidden and I don’t know exactly how you found him, you managed to find that incredibly elusive Flying Thief. Therefore, I believe you have a way to find this genius too!
"I hope you can find him soon, preferably before the Demon Slaying Conference. If you succeed, there will be a hefty reward. Whatever you desire, I can help you obtain it!"
After speaking, Jiang Yuran’s eyes shone, her charming face slightly flushed with excitent, her gaze filled with intense, fervent hope.
Lin Xuankong was sowhat speechless. The Charming Grand Steward offered such a tempting reward; anything I want could be granted... And the task is for to investigate myself?
