Chapter 827: Chapter 386: Reunion with Old Friends, the Auction [Extended Chapter]

Sea Abyss City.

After the spirit ship arrived at Sea Abyss City, the cultivators from the Profound Sound Pavilion had already made arrangements with the local merchants to start loading the cargo onto the ship directly at the dock.

Clearly, this time the merchant ship of the Profound Sound Pavilion intended to bring back some resources.

"Elder Lin, take care."

In front of the dock, the sisters Zhao Lingyue and Zhao Lingxing respectfully bowed, their eyes filled with gratitude and reluctance.

The gratitude was because Lin Chang’an had indeed been helpful to them. As for the reluctance, it wasn’t due to any real sentimentality.

For Zhao Lingyue and Zhao Lingxing, having only formed their cores a few decades ago, they now had to bear the heavy responsibility of the sect’s last retreat.

With the departure of Elder Lin today, once back in Yue Kingdom, the burden would solely be on their shoulders.

This reluctance stemmed more from having no one else to rely on, with all the pressure falling on them alone.

"You both have quite the talent; although the wood attribute technique lacks in combat, in the current poison miasma-filled Yue Kingdom, it actually holds a geographical advantage.

Moreover, the innate connection between you two sisters and your combined attack secret technique makes you capable of rivaling ordinary Core Formation Middle Stage cultivators."

Looking at the two young women, Lin Chang’an sighed softly with a touch of melancholy, vaguely seeing a hint of Fairy Ni Chang’s figure in them.

But these two were much luckier than Fairy Ni Chang, who had to bear the burden alone when the Profound Sound Pavilion was a defeated sect nearly on the run.

Back then, there were only two Core Formation cultivators left in the sect, with the elite forces greatly diminished, and even their only master had passed away within a few years.

It could be said that the Profound Sound Pavilion drifted about, with the hardest times lifted solely by Fairy Ni Chang.

The situation these two were facing now was clearly much better.

"Over the years, I’ve borrowed many books from the Profound Sound Pavilion, and I also found a cultivation insight in the Bibo Island black market, which happens to be about the wood attribute, so I made a copy for you.

Now that you are returning to Yue Kingdom, I hope this wood attribute cultivation insight will be of use to you."

Before leaving, over these years, the Profound Sound Pavilion had indeed treated him well, and he felt comfortable there. Moreover, Yue Kingdom was his homeland, and he didn’t wish for war to break out again.

After all, only with the stability of the Profound Sound Pavilion could Yue Kingdom remain peaceful.

Ultimately, Lin Chang’an fulfilled his duty as an elder.

"This..."

The younger sister, although usually lively and active, glanced towards her older sister upon receiving this heavy gift, as it was clear that decisions were made by the elder sister.

Seeing this, Zhao Lingyue took a deep breath, respectfully bowed, and said:

"Thank you, Elder Lin, for this kindness. We sisters will remember it in our hearts."

Lin Chang’an nodded with a smile, then turned and left with his sword servant.

Parting is sorrowful, especially for these two young birds sheltered under the Profound Sound Pavilion, who now have reached Core Formation cultivation and should spread their wings to protect their former sect.

This wood attribute cultivation insight was not just from Lin Chang’an’s perspective but also from the insights of some Nascent Soul cultivators.

As long as the sisters can calmly reflect and comprehend, they will definitely gain some insights.

"Consider it an investment."

Rather than saying he trusted the two, it was more about believing in the Six Desires Demon Skill of Fairy Ni Chang.

At least in terms of character, these two women wouldn’t be too bad, or else they wouldn’t have received such nurturing and trust from Mr. Ni Chang.

...

Reentering the bustling Sea Abyss City, the lively cultivators bustling back and forth on the streets felt entirely different from the tension of the Outer Sea.

Here, prosperity thrived, with many cultivators’ faces filled with smiles.

The rushed demeanor of cultivators like Lin Chang’an seemed like a world apart.

"The Bihai Palace’s governance is indeed befitting as the overlord of the Demon Beast Abyss."

Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but admire, as the Bihai Palace has been a steadfast overlord for thousands of years.

Known are two palace masters at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and the remaining nine elders are all Nascent Soul cultivators.

Under its command are countless affiliated forces and cultivators, major merchant guilds, and numerous sects of all sizes.

For example, True Monarch Lu belongs to the cultivators who sought refuge in Bihai Palace.

"There are known to be seven Nascent Soul loose cultivators and Nascent Soul influences affiliated with the Bihai Palace; whether there are hidden ones..."

As Lin Chang’an made his way towards the Sixth Elder’s palace, the true foundations of Bihai Palace surfaced in his mind.

"The strength of the Sixteen Sea Suppression Sects isn’t lacking either, but unfortunately, it’s hard for them to unite, especially with the sea tribes in the Outer Sea watching closely, so these top forces maintain a certain restraint."

There is also a neutral force that roams around outside, and if it could be united, it would count as a formidable force.

Previously quite pleased with his own strength, Lin Chang’an now pondered deeply; only becoming a Nascent Soul cultivator could give one a seat at the table.

"No point thinking about it; once I become a Nascent Soul cultivator, I can take over a spirit vein, and no one would dare provoke me lightly."

With a resolute look in his eyes, Lin Chang’an then arrived outside the palace to request an audience.

Inside the main hall.

At this moment, the Sixth Elder listened to the report from the cultivator below, a smile appearing on his lips.

"Coming to Sea Abyss City to visit me right after leaving seclusion, not bad, send him in."

With the Bihai Palace cultivators respectfully leaving, Lin Chang’an solemnly and respectfully walked in.

"Lin Chang’an, a loose cultivator from overseas, greets Sixth Elder."

Upon seeing Lin Chang’an, the Sixth Elder let out a light "hmm," then nodded with a satisfied smile.

"Core Formation Late Stage cultivation, seems like you’re prepared for this entry into the Secret Realm."

Although many Tier Three Upper Grade Array Masters have been found, most cultivators have limited time, focusing their minds on their skills, naturally neglecting their cultivation.
