Inside the cave abode.
The Wang Family’s great elder fell silent, finally taking out a jade box with a complex expression from his storage bag.
As the jade box opened, half of a withered vine root the size of a pinky finger appeared.
The withered vine root seed like it would turn to ash if touched, yet it exuded a peculiar aura.
"Back in the secret realm, our Wang Family was lucky enough to obtain this ancient cultivation technique. Together with this vine root, it might have been so kind of heaven and earth spirit root in ancient tis.
But now its spirituality is lost, and it probably holds little value even as refining material..."
The hoarse voice echoed as Lin Chang’an’s pupils contracted; he saw marks of a sharp instrunt on this vine root.
But at the mont it appeared, the lifebound spirit plant in his dantian quivered, showing a clear sense of yearning, which was why he lost his composure.
Others might not know what it was, but he had a vague guess.
The Profound Celestial Immortal Vine remnant leaf he had obtained stirred, possibly aning that this was the root of the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine.
The lifebound spirit plant concerned his future, even a single remnant leaf had such divine techniques, so if he obtained this vine root, could it not an...?
However, at this mont, the great elder of the Wang Family revealed a mocking sneer, naturally noticing the disguised female cultivator’s greed in Lin Chang’an’s eyes.
Yet he casually waved the jade box over.
"Back then, the Dragon Island Master found nothing, tried every thod, and discovered it’s just a root devoid of spirituality. Even re mortal iron could leave marks on it, rendering it completely useless.
So, our Wang Family has plundered rchant ships for years and even used the blood sacrifice thod... and it still turned out to be a useless piece. Our Wang Family has done all we could."
The blood sacrifice thod, a demon dao technique, devours the blood and flesh essence of cultivators.
The great elder of the Wang Family wore an unpleasant expression; the withered wood catches the spring, but it requires a hint of life to have hope.
But this creation from nothing, perhaps only a legendary immortal’s ans could achieve it.
Initially, there were people watching, but seeing no change in vitality over ti, they gradually gave up.
After all, this thing held little value.
"Spirituality is lost!"
Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered; it was rumored many ancient spirit plants, upon losing their spirituality, would transform into sothing like mortal wood.
Losing all spirituality was not an uncommon phenonon in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.
At least he knew of a Tier Three spirit fruit, which upon being harvested, its spirit plant would quickly wither, losing all spirituality, directly becoming a mortal object.
Only the fallen leaves would still hold so use.
Now that the other party took out this item, it was clearly an intention to have her return to Five Dragons Island together.
"Great Elder, I understand."
Lin Chang’an swallowed, carefully closing the jade box, then attached two talismans to ensure nothing would go wrong before storing it in his storage bag.
However, this scene fell into the elder’s eyes; although evident with greed, it lacked the conduct of a coward.
And Lin Chang’an took a deep breath, originally here to find this Body Refining Chapter, but now seed to have obtained sothing even more extraordinary.
He felt an urgency to leave quickly, sensing there was no need to risk it for the Body Refining Chapter.
Just as Lin Chang’an was about to cut his losses, he suddenly thought of sothing, hesitated, and looked up to testily glance at the Wang Family’s great elder.
"Great Elder, with such a substantial amount of resources this ti, this young woman is rely at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt. This journey is long and fraught with potential mishaps..."
Disguised as a timid female cultivator, though greedy, who dared covet a Golden Core Cultivator’s resources?
Yet his cautious deanor did not arouse any suspicion from the elder of the Wang Family, who instead understood.
After all, she previously had two companions, and now being alone while the rest of the Wang Family had already departed.
"Very well, I shall accompany you to Five Dragons Island."
The great elder of the Wang Family had not the slightest doubt, nodding calmly.
And Lin Chang’an rejoiced inwardly; if he acted here, who knew if the other had hidden ans, for this was the other’s domain after all.
However, if on the journey, he had previously for safe retreat prepared an island with arrays set on one of the escape routes.
If he lured this person there, onto an island with arrays, it would be just an isolated old man.
"Great Elder, please."
Under a respectful guise, Lin Chang’an avoided raising suspicion from the elder, and both carried the storage bags full of high-level materials.
...
The sea was calm, a flash of azure light; Lin Chang’an disguised as a female cultivator had been anxious throughout the journey, not expecting it to go so smoothly.
Sitting on the flying boat, the great elder of the Wang Family alternated between gazing at the scenery and showing traces of reluctance in his eyes.
This behavior was quite fitting for a cultivator approaching the end of their lifespan.
After all, no one wishes to die.
"Great Elder, let’s land and restore our mana first."
Lin Chang’an disguised as a female cultivator spoke calmly, steering the flying boat towards a small island below.
Cultivators without urgent matters usually kept their mana at over ninety percent while traveling.
Restoring midway was quite normal.
Otherwise, if they beca exhausted from traveling and their mana depleted by thirty or forty percent, encountering a tribulation cultivator could be disastrous.
Thus, the elder of the Wang Family did not suspect Lin Chang’an’s actions, instead nodding in agreent.
Everyone was a century-old Foundation Establishnt Cultivator, without this level of cautiousness, they would’ve failed long ago.
"Great Elder, take in the scenery for a mont."
After landing on the island, the female cultivator, disguised as Lin Chang’an, nodded softly before finding a clean rock to sit and begin restoring mana.
