Chapter 639: Chapter 354 Explores_1 Chapter 639: Chapter 354 Explores_1 However, he was not so easily swayed by what Sun Lingâer had said to lose his head.
He feigned composure and asked, âFairy Sun, itâs not that I donât trust you, but this matter is of great importance. While there might be treasures, itâs also filled with considerable risks.â
Hearing this, Sun Lingâer nodded in understanding. Lin Tianfengâs reaction was within expectation.
After all, though they could be considered friends, the hearts in the Cultivation World are treacherous, and verbal promises are notoriously unreliable.
But Sun Lingâer was prepared; she retrieved a beast skin from her storage bag and handed it to Lin Tianfeng.
Then, with a sincere look, she said, âDaoist Tianfeng, I understand your concerns.â
âTherefore, to prove my goodwill, perhaps you would like to examine this map, or follow me to check the place for yourself.â
...
âIf what I say proves true, perhaps we can consider joining forces to seek the treasure.â
âRegarding the distribution of spoils, I would take sixty percent. What do you think of this arrangement, Daoist Tianfeng?â
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianfeng did not immediately agree, nor did he outright reject her offer. Instead, he carefully pondered her proposal.
In his heart, Sun Lingâerâs gesture was indeed a sign of good faith.
She likely did this because it was difficult for one person to enter the Cave Mansion Ruins, prompting her to seek the Lin Familyâs strength for the treasure hunt.
Additionally, she did not insist on the Lin Familyâs cooperation and was willing to reveal so much information without knowing their stance.
In this light, she indeed seemed quite sincere.
Whatâs more, the distribution scheme she proposed was rather generous.
Understanding this, Lin Tianfeng thought it over and decided to first examine the specific location of the Cave Mansion Ruins to verify its truth.
If things were as Sun Lingâer said, he naturally wouldnât pass up such an opportunity.
With these thoughts, Lin Tianfeng scrutinized the map in his hands, only to discover that the marked location was in a mountain forest tens of thousands of miles west of Qianchuan Market.
This place wasnât far, situated just on the edge of the Demonic Lands, so the danger wasnât too great.
With their speed of travel, they could likely reach it within a fortnight.
Such a place was too tempting not to explore.
With these thoughts, Lin Tianfeng chuckled and replied, âFairy Sun esteems the Lin Family, which I deeply appreciate and am grateful for.â
âIt so happens that I am unoccupied, and I could take a clan member with me to accompany you to the Cave Mansion Ruins for an inspection.â
âIf the situation turns out to be true, we can then plan accordingly and embark on the treasure hunt together, how does that sound?â
No sooner had he finished speaking than Sun Lingâer, without any hesitation, immediately responded.
âLetâs do as Daoist Tianfeng says!â
âHowever, this area borders the land of the Demonic Beasts, and many cultivators come here to train. If we delay too long, others might discover it.â
âHence, I hope Lin will be able to set off as soon as possible!â
Hearing this, Lin Tianfeng quite agreed.
After all, the location was indeed sensitive, and if discovered, it would surely invite unnecessary trouble.
Understanding this, Lin Tianfeng nodded and said, âRest assured, Fairy Sun, I will discuss this with my fellow clan members and give you an answer before evening.â
âIf all goes well, perhaps we can depart tomorrow morning. How about that?â
âGood, very good!â
The two reached an agreement and were both in excellent spirits. They chatted for a while longer and confirmed numerous details.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Sun Lingâer and Lin Tianfeng exchanged their methods of communication and she took her leave from Luoyun Pavilion.
After sending Sun Lingâer off, Lin Tianfeng did not dare delay and promptly returned to the Cave Mansion Courtyard, where he gathered Lin Tianhu and Lin Tianhong along with a few others.
Before long.
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators stationed at Qianchuan Market gathered, chatting over tea.
Lin Tianfeng had no intention of beating around the bush and directly brought up Sun Lingâerâs proposal about the Cave Mansion Ruins.
Upon hearing his account, Lin Tianhu and the others looked surprised, and then overjoyed.
After they calmed down, Lin Tianhong spoke up with a reminder, âBig brother, it all sounds well and good, but we donât know if itâs true or false!â
No sooner had he finished than Lin Tianyue also chimed in.
âSecond brother is right; although Sun Lingâer is acquainted with you and sister-in-law, we cannot fully trust her.â
Lin Tianfeng was well aware of what Lin Tianhong and Tianyue were saying.
He had gathered them to discuss the details of this proposal.
In his mind, whether the information was true or false, it was essential to visit the location to find out.
If it turned out to be true, the Wind-attribute Cultivation Technique might be within reach; if false, at worst it meant a wasted month.
As for safety, even if Sun Lingâer harbored some malicious intent and possessed strength at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level, he could join forces with Lin Tianhu. Even if they couldnât defeat her, escaping with their lives wouldnât be difficult.
Moreover, Sun Lingâer was somewhat aware of the Lin Familyâs overall strength; it was unlikely sheâd make a bold move against the family members.
With this in mind, he believed there was little to worry about regarding safety.
With these thoughts, Lin Tianfeng expressed his opinion to proceed and inspect the site alongside Lin Tianhu.
His idea directly matched Lin Tianhuâs, and although Lin Tianhong and others had some concerns, they also recognized the strength of Lin Tianfeng and Tianhu.
In such a situation, after Lin Tianhong gave a few words of advice, he and Lin Tianfeng finalized the details of their plan.
