Chapter 486: Chapter 183: Reunion
This ti.
Lin Jing saw the Lord of Nightfall and that Xue Yilin.
Lin Jing observed the Lord of Nightfall very clearly, previously, he indeed had the intention to save Jin Jue.
However, Xue Yilin didn’t seem to get along well with the Lord of Nightfall.
He didn’t give the Lord of Nightfall any face at all.
And it seed that the Lord of Nightfall also had so reservations about Xue Yilin.
Even when Xue Yilin killed Jin Jue right in front of him, the Lord of Nightfall still didn’t take any other action.
And then there was Xue Yilin.
Even though he looked all smiles, appearing amiable and very easy to talk to.
In reality, he was also an extrely dangerous individual.
This could be seen from his sudden, unexpected strike to kill Jin Jue.
Nevertheless, Lin Jing found his sudden action quite baffling and always felt the reason for his strike was far-fetched.
Of course, it could also be because of the Five Elents Divine Art.
This Xue Yilin, it seems that next ti they et, he would have to be more cautious.
……
After the Lord of Nightfall and Xue Yilin left, Lin Jing also returned to Li Yan Island.
After returning, he saw the questioning looks of everyone and nodded.
Everyone sighed in relief.
At that mont, Zhang Jian hurried to Lin Jing’s side and carefully examined him:
“Brother Lin…”
“You’ve actually entered the Nascent Soul Stage so quickly.”
Lin Jing then said with a smile:
“Let’s go…”
“First, let’s go back to my small courtyard, we’ll talk more once we’re back.”
“Alright…” Zhang Jian quickly agreed.
Subsequently.
Lin Jing led Zhang Jian and several others back to his own residence in the northern part of Li Yan Island.
As soon as they arrived in the courtyard, Zhang Jian began to inquire:
“Where exactly did those who attended the trade eting that ti go?”
“You don’t know, after you disappeared, many people have been looking for you.”
“And after your disappearance, so others also went missing one after another, but in the end, nothing was found.”
Lin Jing then spoke up, explaining the ins and outs of the matter to everyone.
Upon hearing what Lin Jing said, everyone was imnsely shocked.
They had not expected that soone could use the sacrifice of Golden Core Cultivators to help themselves break through their realm.
Such an inhumane act was also a violation of heavenly principles, and yet there were people who dared do it.
And Zhang Jian felt even more remorse, saying:
“If it weren’t for , Brother Lin, you wouldn’t have fallen into such misfortune.”
This event had no warning beforehand.
Moreover, even without Zhang Jian, Lin Jing might have also decided to check out the trade eting on his own.
After all, at that ti, Lin Jing was still in need of High-Grade Spiritual Plants and wanted to collect them.
Encountering such a situation was completely unexpected, and Zhang Jian couldn’t be blad.
Therefore.
Lin Jing spoke to comfort him:
“Brother Zhang…”
“You can’t bla yourself for this, there’s no need for self-reproach.”
After saying this, Lin Jing continued:
“During this ti, I have also been greatly indebted to Brother Zhang; otherwise, my Li Yan Island would have fallen into the hands of others long ago.”
Zhang Jian replied:
“There’s nothing worth ntioning about what I did; you were trapped because of , Brother Lin, what I’ve done was rely my duty.”
Lin Jing shook his head and then took out several top-grade life-reviving pills from his Space Ring and handed them to Zhang Jian.
Seeing the life-reviving pills Lin Jing took out for recovering from injuries, Zhang Jian didn’t stand on ceremony and directly accepted them.
As he took the life-reviving pills, Zhang Jian also pulled out a small, trade-use Storage Bag from his own and handed it over to Lin Jing.
“Brother Lin…”
“The two hundred thousand Spirit Stones I borrowed from you before, I’d like to take this opportunity to return them.”
“You mustn’t refuse, after all, although we share a good relationship, since I borrowed it, I must return it.”
“As for the rest, let’s discuss them separately,”
Lin Jing nodded, then said:
“Okay…”
Having finished speaking, Lin Jing asked Zhang Jian:
“Brother Zhang…”
“You are now at the pinnacle of Golden Core cultivation, I estimate you must be facing Tribulation soon and advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage, right?”
After hearing this, Zhang Jian shook his head and with a bitter smile replied:
“No…”
“The cultivation technique I’ve practiced on my own is indeed not reliable.”
“Although I’m at the peak of Golden Core cultivation, my Golden Core Peak is extrely unstable, and my combat power has suffered greatly.”
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been injured so severely by those two brothers from the Jin Clan.”
At this point, Zhang Jian pondered for a while and then continued:
“I estimate…”
“It will take at least decades or a hundred years to stay at this Golden Core Peak before I can start advancing to Nascent Soul.”
“Otherwise, if the foundation is not solid, undergoing Tribulation would be seeking death.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing imdiately rembered Zhang Jian’s previous ordeal and then spoke:
“Then, the Frostbone Erosion you experienced before…”
Lin Jing had barely started speaking when Zhang Jian interrupted him.
Zhang Jian trembled all over, hurriedly reached out to cover Lin Jing’s mouth, and stuttered from deep inside:
“Don’t…”
“Don’t ntion it…”
“Brother Lin, please spare .”
It was then that Lin Jing rembered that Zhang Jian indeed had told him about this matter.
He was tornted by Frostbone Erosion, suffering from psychological trauma, and couldn’t stand hearing those words.
He would tremble at the re ntion.
Lin Jing had rembered this before.
But after the journey into the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm,
Lin Jing had completely forgotten about this matter.
This ti, it was Zhang Jian’s reminder that jogged Lin Jing’s mory.
So he hurriedly stopped speaking and couldn’t help but sheepishly grin:
“Heh heh…”
“Sorry Brother Zhang, it slipped my mind…”
But Zhang Jian stopped Lin Jing from continuing and opened his mouth to say:
“As long as you don’t ntion that matter, we’re still good friends…”
Lin Jing was speechless, never expecting that offending that woman in white back then would leave Zhang Jian still not recovered to this day.
It also served as a warning to Lin Jing that in the future, no matter what, unless absolutely necessary, he must not offend those female cultivators who appeared cold and aloof and possessed formidable strength.
Afterward.
The group went inside a room, where Lin Jing listened to them recount so of the experiences they had over the years.
In the middle of their talk, Ye Yun suddenly appeared.
Upon seeing Lin Jing, Ye Yun was imdiately overjoyed, with his eyes even turning slightly red.
It turned out that Ye Yun had been cultivating at the Land of Earthly Fla’s spring.
Therefore, he hadn’t been there before.
Because of Lin Jing’s disappearance, Ye Yun’s cultivation had beco even more zealous, and now his level had surpassed that of Yue Qi and Li Qingqing.
He was the only one among the few Golden Core Cultivators on Li Yan Island who had broken through to the mid-stage of Golden Core.
Even Li Qingqing, although she had started a few years earlier than Ye Yun,
was now only at the third layer of Golden Core cultivation.
Whereas Yue Qi, due to the nature of her Spiritual Root, had only managed one breakthrough over this long period.
She was currently at the second layer of Golden Core cultivation.
But now that Lin Jing had returned,
everything beca easier.
With Lin Jing present, he could craft Gathering Yuan Pills to help them break through swiftly.
Of course, to achieve a breakthrough, the quality of one’s Spiritual Root is the most important factor.
Besides crafting Gathering Yuan Pills,
Lin Jing also needed to start collecting materials for the Cleansing Spirit Elixir.
