Chapter 833: Chapter 387: Remnant Soul of the Ancient Cultivator

This item is extremely rare not just in the Demon Beast Abyss, but also in the Immortal Cultivation Realm.

"If there is indeed a high-aged Soul Nourishing Wood, it would be exceedingly beneficial for cultivation. It could even be used at Cultivation Perfection, when preparing to break through to the Nascent Soul, to first enhance the Divine Soul to the Nascent Soul Realm!"

Regarding the Soul Nourishing Wood, Lin Chang’an was tempted, but this matter couldn’t be rushed.

First, he should probe the composition of the other party’s Soul Nourishing Wood and see if they are sincere.

As for the other party’s identity and purpose, it had nothing to do with him.

He simply wanted to make a transaction.

"Since it’s Soul Nourishing Wood, and this person specifically sent this message, they are clearly convinced we would be interested. Let’s arrange a meeting in the market first."

Immediately, Lin Chang’an instructed his Sword Servant to set up a meeting first, before discussing anything else.

Though he hadn’t intended to double-cross, he intended to benefit from both ends.

For this deal, as the obvious middleman, he certainly deserved some benefits, right?

"Yes, Master, I will contact this person right away."

The Sword Servant respectfully bowed and then turned into an Escape Light heading towards the market.

Watching the Sword Servant’s clean and efficient demeanor, Lin Chang’an shook his head. The dedication was good, but couldn’t he be a bit less hasty? He hadn’t had his fill of the earlier sword dance yet.

Besides, shouldn’t they be the ones in a hurry?

"And as for that Cyan-Horned Bull, how long has it been? Why hasn’t it broken through?"

Sipping the Spirit Tea, but lacking the Sword Servant’s sword dance, Lin Chang’an found himself devoid of interest, and he got up to head towards the cave where the Cyan-Horned Bull was in seclusion.

...

Half a month later, the Sword Servant arranged to meet the other party at a restaurant in the market.

On this day, it was lively at the restaurant, and not in a private room, but outside.

A figure cloaked in black with a conical hat covering their face sat inside waiting early.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Lin Chang’an arrived fashionably late, dressed in a green robe with bamboo patterns, and greeted the person with a smile and a cupped fist.

"You’re too kind."

The other party spoke in a hoarse voice, making it impossible to discern gender. However, as Lin Chang’an sat down with a smile, he sensed a familiar mana aura in the bustling restaurant.

"It’s him!"

Lin Chang’an’s heart skipped, and his brow furrowed slightly—Huang Tianxiao!

Why has this person come here?

As a disciple of the Mystic Yin Old Demon, he now opposed True Monarch Lu, and their factions were at each other’s throats.

"This time, I wish to trouble you to make an introduction. I certainly won’t let you suffer a loss."

But Huang Tianxiao, unaware of his exposure, laughed hoarsely and said with cupped hands.

"No problem, no problem."

Lin Chang’an also smiled, suppressing his doubts deep inside.

However, through his senses, he could detect that the other party’s Divine Soul was unscathed, yet wanted to trade for Yin Spirit Ash, which puzzled him.

More importantly, he sensed a feeling of danger from Huang Tianxiao, along with two faint auras.

One had a somewhat friendly aura, but he was sure he had never sensed this type of aura before.

The other aura was rather familiar, the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King’s aura from the Ghostly Domain.

"Damn, if his body contains two other auras, could it be that he’s also entangled with other Nascent Soul Old Monsters?"

Without showing his thoughts, Lin Chang’an kept smiling and conversing with the other party.

"I’ve heard that you enjoy a good drink, so here is a drink recipe from me."

The disguised Huang Tianxiao smiled broadly, taking out a recipe from the Yin Soul Sect.

Regarding his reputation for good wine, it was outside rumors.

This was mainly because the Sword Servant often took his wine gourd to collect rare Spiritual Medicines, then threw them into the gourd.

Gradually, a rumor spread that he liked to drink.

"A drink recipe!"

Lin Chang’an only glanced at it briefly, thoughts swirling within, confirming that this person had connections with the transformed Yin Spirit Beast King. It seemed the treasures from the Ghostly Domain had achieved some transaction with the Mystic Yin Old Demon.

But using a drink recipe from the Yin Soul Sect, as if nobody else had one.

Wanting to make a trade with something he already had, wasn’t that trying to take advantage of him?

"You misunderstand, I don’t actually fancy drinking, I merely enjoy a couple of sips occasionally."

Lin Chang’an politely returned the barely glanced-at recipe, leaving Huang Tianxiao startled, who thought nothing more of it.

"Please don’t refuse this token of gratitude, Mr. Lin, especially since I must trouble you with this matter."

To Huang Tianxiao, Lin Chang’an was of little consequence; his true purpose involved the cultivators secretly selling Spiritual Ore information.

That group undoubtedly regularly hunted Yin Spirit Beast Kings in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea and must have plenty of Yin Spirit Ash.

That was what he urgently needed.

Seeing the Spirit Stone Bag pushed towards him by Huang Tianxiao, Lin Chang’an took it with a smile breaking across his face.

"You’re too kind."

Free Spirit Stones, who wouldn’t take them?

As for the other party’s goals, he didn’t want to get involved, clearly concerning a Nascent Soul Old Monster.

Currently, he just wanted to wait for the Secret Realm to open and then go in to meet up and escape with Yun Yao.

Afterward, the two chatted like old friends, speaking of various cultivation anecdotes.

Finally, Lin Chang’an agreed to contact the other party as an intermediary.

After returning, Lin Chang’an contemplated reporting, but didn’t want to get involved in Nascent Soul cultivator troubles, deciding to wait until after the transaction.

"Once your private transaction is complete, it won’t concern me at all."
