Chapter 475 - 254: A Deal with the Long Family

"Master Lin."

"Master Xu, Master Liu."

As the group of three representing the Profound Sound Pavilion led by Lin Chang’an arrived, a number of Fake Pill Cultivators stood up with smiles and greeted them.

Their words were evidently filled with respect, as there is indeed a difference between Fake Pill Cultivators and Golden Core Cultivators.

Following them were other Golden Core Cultivators from the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, with two from the Long Family arriving today.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists."

Xu Lingfeng greeted everyone with a beaming smile, and Lin Chang’an nodded with a smile as well.

However, seeing the obvious respect this group of people showed towards Lin Chang’an, the Honored Guest Elder, Xu Lingfeng felt a tinge of jealousy in his heart.

It’s clear that no matter how strong Xu Lingfeng is, he’s merely a pure Golden Core Cultivator from the Profound Sound Sect, which brings them no benefit.

On the other hand, Lin Chang’an, as a Tier Three Array Master, is a different story.

After all, no one can guarantee they won’t need his help in the future, whether it’s for family, Sect array arrangements, or personal needs.

As for array repairs, currently, there are only two quasi-Tier Three Array Masters in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region.

For someone like Lin Chang’an, a Tier Three Array Master, they would really need to visit another sea region to request his help.

"Mr. Lin, someday my Tu Family will visit and shamelessly seek your guidance."

"You’re too kind, fellow Daoist Tu. I just recently achieved Core Formation and often need to seek advice from you."

Facing the enthusiasm of the crowd, Lin Chang’an humbly nodded, as these are all connections and walking Spirit Stones.

He also knew that the reason for everyone’s enthusiasm was due to his strength and influence as a Tier Three Array Master.

As everyone settled down, the Golden Core Cultivators sat in the upper seats, with twenty-three Fake Pill Cultivators below, none of whom showed the slightest dissatisfaction.

As Spirit Fruits and Spirit Wine were laid out, everyone formed their own groups, yet displayed friendly smiles.

During this, Lin Chang’an also saw a familiar face, such as Fatty Lei from Bibo Island in the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, which did surprise him.

As the drinking continued for three rounds, the trade fair began.

There wasn’t much small talk, as the weakest among them had Fake Pill Cultivation.

With their level of cultivation, unless it was an auction at a large Market, very few treasures would catch their interest.

Hence, the trade fair was established.

"Please allow me to make a humble offering. This item is a Moon Pearl from the deep sea, which has the effect of maintaining youthful appearance when worn long-term, and is an excellent alchemical ingredient."

The first to show an item was a Fake Pill Cultivator, who humbly smiled and took out a pearl shimmering with moonlight.

Upon seeing this treasure, Lin Chang’an nodded secretly, as it is the main ingredient for refining the Youthful Appearance Pill.

The Youthful Appearance Pill, as its name suggests, only reveals signs of aging when a cultivator’s lifespan is nearing its end.

It has no other effects, solely maintaining youthful appearance, which may not greatly attract male cultivators, but is hugely appealing to female cultivators from major forces.

The real Youthful Appearance Pill is a Tier Three Elixir.

As for those circulated in the Market, they are merely Spiritual Objects for maintaining appearance, which at best provide some effects but do not match the effectiveness of a Tier Three Youthful Appearance Pill.

"Haha, so it’s this item. What a pity! If it were in Sea Abyss City, its price could be at least ten percent higher."

Someone shook their head while others’ eyes flickered. Though they might not need this item, some Great Cultivators do have wives and concubines.

Gifting it to certain people is not a bad idea.

"Mr. Lin, Brother Xu, we must acquire this item!"

The first to react was instead Liu Ruyu, whose bright eyes sparkled as she secretly communicated with them while feigning an infatuated look. She directly spoke up:

"I will take this item. Does the fellow Daoist prefer Spirit Stones or an exchange with other Spiritual Objects?"

There were not many female cultivators present, and just as Liu Ruyu spoke, her expression showed joy, leading many spectators to understand.

This item might not attract male cultivators much, but one should never underestimate female cultivators’ pursuit of appearance.

"So it’s Fairy Liu."

The Fake Pill Cultivator, upon seeing that the person speaking was Liu Ruyu from the Profound Sound Pavilion, displayed an even more courteous smile.

"I have been a Core Formation for over two hundred years, seeking nothing else in cultivation. I just wish to plan for the younger generation, so I’m hoping to obtain some elixirs or spiritual objects."

Lin Chang’an could understand this desire to plan for one’s descendants, which seems no different from mortal concerns.

In youth, one dares to fight and struggle, then achieves dominance in middle age, and later in old age starts worrying about the next generation, beginning the planning process anew.

Meanwhile, the three from the Profound Sound Pavilion secretly communicated through voice transmission, with Lin Chang’an maintaining a calm demeanor as he watched these two fellow Core Formation cultivators from the Profound Sound Pavilion.

"Junior Sister, we have just achieved Core Formation, and what we need now is to refine our Lifebound Treasures to stabilize the Sect, not waste resources on this."

"Senior Brother, though this item is useless to us, gifting it to the Sixth Elder’s beloved concubine might increase support for our Sect."

"Junior Sister! We are already doing things for the Sixth Elder..."

Xu Lingfeng and Liu Ruyu began discussing privately. Despite the Profound Sound Pavilion’s promising development, the Sect suffered a heavy blow in the Yue Kingdom war.

Since moving to this volatile place and after the Grand Elder’s passing, both of them achieved Core Formation, depleting much of the Sect’s resources.

Therefore, the Profound Sound Pavilion is truly not well off.

As Lin Chang’an watched the two, he couldn’t help but frown internally. Neither of them was wrong; one didn’t want to waste resources and hinder Liu Ruyu’s strength growth.
