Chapter 685 Lin Cang’s Invitation

Everyone showed a surprised expression.

Shui Ruohan's behavior was as if he had already reached an agreement with this person. When the person took out the secret technique, Shui Ruohan did not even look at it, and directly chose to exchange.

Lin Cang, who was standing by, had a gloomy face. He looked at Shui Ruohan, but did not take any further action.

After taking the "Spirit-Settling Pearl" and the treasure map from Shui Ruohan, Xiao Lin put them into the star ring.

Shui Ruohan showed a happy smile on his face at this point. After putting away the secret technique he exchanged, he looked at Lin Cang with some pride, then jumped off the stand and walked outside.

It was obvious that he had lost interest in the subsequent trade fair.

Many cultivators looked at Shui Ruohan's back as he left, and they were silent for a long time. They did not expect that a treasure like the "Spirit-Settling Pearl" would appear at such an inconspicuous trade fair.

"Everyone, our trade fair will continue."

After a while, Lin Cang's voice sounded again, and then another black-faced ugly woman in her forties walked towards the stands...

After more than two hours, after no one came on stage, Lin Cang announced the end of the trade fair.

Xiao Lin also followed the crowd and walked outside, intending to leave here.

"Fellow Daoist, please stay. Would you please come to my house for a chat?"

Xiao Lin was slightly stunned after hearing this, because he immediately recognized that the voice that suddenly appeared in his ears came from the owner of this place, the first Jindan Lin Cang in Wutie City.

After a slight hesitation, Xiao Lin nodded and stopped.

After everyone left, Lin Cang came to Xiao Lin's side: "Thank you for your kindness, fellow Daoist Xiao. Please follow me to the pavilion in the center of the lake for a chat, okay?"

"The guest follows the host's wishes, please." Xiao Lin made a gesture of invitation.

Lin Cang was not polite and walked outside first. The two of them left the teleportation array and returned to the lake that Xiao Lin had seen before. There was a pavilion in the middle of the lake.

At this moment, a table of wine and food had been set up in the pavilion. More than 20 feet away from the pavilion, three girls with swords on their backs stood quietly in four directions.

"Please." Lin Cang said to Xiao Lin with a smile.

After Xiao Lin nodded, he walked into the pavilion in the middle of the lake and sat down, and Lin Cang also sat down opposite him.

"I see that Fellow Daoist Xiao looks unfamiliar. I wonder where you practiced before?" After sitting down, one of the twelve girls with swords on their backs walked to the side of the two, first poured a glass of wine for Xiao Lin, then filled it for Lin Cang, and then stood quietly to one side.

"Xiao is just a casual cultivator, traveling around, and has never been a fixed place. When Fellow Daoist Lin asked me this, Xiao didn't know how to answer for a while." Xiao Lin said with a smile.

"This is the spirit wine that Lin brewed in his spare time. I took it out today to entertain you. Please try it and see how it tastes."

After hearing this, Lin Cang had an expression of noncommittal on his face, then smiled slightly, pointed at the wine glass in front of Xiao Lin, and spoke.

Xiao Lin picked up the wine glass, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, his eyes lit up, and then he drank the wine in the glass.

"Good wine." Xiao Lin praised, put down the wine glass, and the sword-carrying girl next to him immediately filled it for him.

Lin Cang showed an expression of approval on his face, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

After putting down the wine glass, Lin Cang said: "Lin has been cultivating immortals for three hundred years. He has always been arrogant and confident that he can advance to the Nascent Soul within a hundred years. But after meeting Xiao Daoyou, I realized that the world is so big, and there are really people beyond people and heavens beyond heavens."

"What do you mean by this, Lin Daoyou?" Xiao Lin showed a little surprise on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, please don't be modest. You didn't hide your aura at the trade fair, so your amazing mana was clearly visible. Your mana, whether pure or strong, is the only one I've ever seen. So I think it's unlikely that you're a casual cultivator. Although casual cultivators may have some luck, most of the superior immortal cultivation techniques passed down from ancient times are still in the hands of some large sects."

Xiao Lin finally understood that Lin Cang was doubting his identity as a casual cultivator. But in the final analysis, Xiao Lin was indeed not a casual cultivator, but came from a third- or fourth-rate small sect. Even if he told others about his identity, he was no different from a casual cultivator.

"Of course, Lin has no intention of questioning. It is normal for us cultivators to cover our faces and keep our origins secret. I hope Brother Xiao will not be dissatisfied."

Xiao Lin heard the sincerity in Lin Cang's words, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After Xiao first entered the world of immortal cultivation, he once joined a small sect that was not well-known. Later, after building his foundation, he has been training outside. That's why Xiao regards himself as a casual cultivator."

"So that's the case. It seems that Brother Xiao has had quite a lot of luck."

"Brother Lin invited Xiao to come and talk. Isn't it just to explore Xiao's origins?"

"Haha, of course not. Lin was abrupt. Lin invited Brother Xiao to talk mainly because there is something I want to discuss with you, and I also hope to get your help."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, you are flattering me. I am just a casual cultivator, alone and helpless. How can I help Fellow Daoist Lin, the No. 1 Golden Core of Wutie City?"

Lin Cang heard the metaphor in Xiao Lin's words.

Waving his hand, he smiled bitterly and said, "This title of the No. 1 Golden Core of Wutie City has really hurt me. After all, we cultivators know how small Wutie City is. Not to mention that there are many low-key cultivators like Fellow Daoist Xiao, even if I am really the No. 1 Golden Core of Wutie City, so what? Am I still a frog in the well?"

"Fellow Daoist Xiao is too modest. Just tell me the purpose of inviting me here."

Xiao Lin saw that Lin Cang was very scheming. No matter how he tried to sneer, he could easily resolve it. Moreover, he didn't leak any details in his words, so Xiao Lin couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

Such a person, once he plots against others, will be very scary, Xiao Lin could not help but secretly be alert.

"Lin wants to use this bottle of True Spirit Divine Water to exchange for Xiao Daoyou's "Spirit-Settling Pearl"." Lin Cang said, and then took out a thumb-high jade bottle from the Star Ring and placed it on the table.

"True Spirit Divine Water?" Xiao Lin frowned, with surprise in his eyes.

Lin Cang saw Xiao Lin's expression, but he was a little puzzled. When ordinary Jindan cultivators heard the four words "True Spirit Divine Water", their eyes lit up and their faces were full of surprise.

But Xiao Daoyou in front of him only showed a surprised expression, which made Lin Cang feel a little strange.

"This True Spirit Divine Water is a treasure that Jindan-stage cultivators like us dream of. It can loosen and soften the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul and increase the probability of forming a Nascent Soul. It is definitely worth it to exchange it for Daoyou's "Spirit-Settling Pearl".

Xiao Lin glanced at Lin Cang, and suddenly realized that this person kept him here for the "Spirit-Settling Pearl".

If it was before he entered the Glazed Immortal Mansion, he might have taken out the "Spirit-Settling Pearl" without hesitation to exchange for the True Spirit Divine Water, but now he has a whole pool of True Spirit Divine Water in his Spirit Wood Space, so he naturally doesn't like the small bottle in front of him.

Moreover, the Spirit-Settling Pearl has the function of calming the mind and expelling the inner demons, and its function is even better than the True Spirit Divine Water. Of course, there is a difference in the use of the two. The True Spirit Divine Water is used when the infant is formed.

The Spirit-Settling Pearl is used after the infant is formed, when the six-nine thunder tribulations are passed.

"Sorry, although I want this bottle of True Spirit Water, by comparison, if you fail to form a baby, at most you will enter the half-step golden elixir stage. With the conditioning of some elixirs, you can form a baby for the second time, but if you fail to pass the tribulation, your body and soul will be destroyed. I know which is more important."

Lin Cang was disappointed when he heard this, but he obviously expected this scene. He did not show any shame and anger, but picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all.

Xiao Lin did not move, but was secretly alert in his heart. If Lin Cang failed to exchange and tried to rob by force, then even if the Lin Mansion was a dragon's den and a tiger's lair, he would have to go in.

Lin Cang did not do so. Instead, he looked at Xiao Lin and said, "Since Daoist Xiao is unwilling to exchange, I will not force you. I just hope Daoist Xiao can help me in the future. Of course, I will not let Daoist Xiao help for nothing. Daoist Xiao can choose any one of these three rare materials as a reward for this favor. In addition, I will also grant Daoist Xiao an opportunity."
