Mortal Cultivator: Lin Tianzun

Chapter 172 Last Words and Deal

After dealing with the flies, Lin Fan turned around and smoothly pulled out a jade slip from his storage bag. He handed it to the man in white before him. His voice was steady and powerful, yet it carried an unquestionable authority.
"Sir, please copy all the information you know into this jade slip without reservation. If you have any maps of the ruins, keys, or other items, please also hand them over to me. Once I verify the accuracy of the information, I will naturally accept your daughter as my disciple."

The man in white took the jade slip with trembling hands, slowly closed his eyes, looked solemn, and used all his strength to activate his spiritual sense, pouring all the precious information in his mind into it.

In just a moment, he completed the copying, and then he began to search laboriously in the storage bag, and finally found an ancient animal skin.

"Senior, this animal skin is the map of the ruins. The jade slip records everything I saw and heard after accidentally entering the ruins. It details everything from the specific topography and landforms, the names of various addresses, to the detailed route."

The man in white spoke respectfully, his expression full of fatigue and earnestness, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Lin Fan took the jade slip and map steadily, and first examined the animal hide carefully. He saw the winding lines on the hide, accurately outlining the direction of the mountains and rivers. Although the style was simple, every detail was clear and distinct.

Then, he used his spiritual sense to check the jade slip. The information inside was comprehensive and detailed. It not only included the specific name of the island and its approximate range, but also many unknown secret details...

After reading it, Lin Fan nodded slightly and said, "The items are fine. Is there anything else you want to tell me? If not, I will take your daughter and your partner with me and leave."

"Please wait for a moment, senior. I want to spend some more time with my wife and children. Just one stick of incense will do." The man in white's eyes were full of attachment and reluctance. He looked at Lin Fan expectantly, his eyes full of the deep affection of a father and a husband.

"no problem."

Lin Fan responded readily, "I'm not unreasonable."

After saying that, he paced to the side and waited quietly. The sea breeze blew gently, lifting the corners of his clothes, bringing a sense of unrestrained and uninhibitedness, adding a unique style to this slightly sad atmosphere.

Time passes quietly, and the time of a stick of incense is gone in a flash.

The life of the man in white came to an end. "Husband!" the beautiful young woman cried out in grief, her voice full of despair and sorrow.

After a long while, the young woman Liu Xianxian held back her tears, buried her husband on the spot, and erected a tombstone with the inscription "Erected by wife Liu Xianxian".

Liu Xianxian originally wanted to follow her husband, but she was worried about her young daughter.

Not knowing what kind of character this senior was, and with many worries in her heart, she could only suppress her grief, grit her teeth, and decide to live, just to provide a better life for her daughter.

Liu Xianxian held her daughter in her arms and walked to Lin Fan with unsteady steps. She bowed slightly and said, "I am Liu Xianxian, greeting you, senior." However, she seemed a little embarrassed and inconvenient when she was holding her daughter in her arms.

Seeing this, Lin Fan waved his hand and said gently, "No need to be so polite. I don't have so many formalities here. Is your daughter asleep?"

"Ah."

Liu Xianxian nodded gently, her eyes full of pity, "My daughter is still young, and she has experienced such a shock and misfortune... Alas."

"My condolences and acceptance."

Lin Fan's expression was calm as he pointed to the storage bag on the ground. "Go pick up the storage bag on the ground. These are all yours."

"Thank you, senior!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Liu Xianxian's eyes. She quickly bent down and carefully picked up the storage bag and scattered magic tools on the ground one by one, and put them away carefully. Her actions were full of cherishment for this gift.

"let's go."

Lin Fan slapped his storage bag, and a magical spiritual boat emitting soft light instantly appeared in front of him. He was the first to step onto the spiritual boat.

Liu Xianxian followed closely behind with her daughter in her arms. Lin Fan pinched his fingers and the spirit boat slowly rose into the air, like a meteor streaking across the sky, speeding towards Tianxing City, leaving behind only the surging waves and the still sea breeze.

A day passed in a flash, and Lin Fan drove the spirit boat and brought Liu Xianxian and her daughter to Tianxing City safely.

The spirit boat slowly descended and stopped near a city gate. The three of them walked towards the city entrance. They saw lights flashing from time to time, and then monks landed from the sky. Everyone lined up consciously, received their identity spirit rings, and entered Tianxing City in an orderly manner.

Not long after, it was Lin Fan and his group's turn. Lin Fan, with a calm expression, said to the white-robed monk from the Xinggong Palace who was in charge of the inspection, "Give them two temporary spirit rings."

Upon hearing this, the white-robed monk skillfully took out two blue spirit rings and patiently explained, "Senior, these are spirit rings worn by monks temporarily staying in this city. Each one requires a payment of three spirit stones."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan casually slapped his storage bag, and six low-level spirit stones appeared steadily in his palm. He handed it over. After taking the blue spirit ring, he turned to Liu Xianxian and her daughter and said, "Just wear this spirit ring on your finger. Let's go into the city." After that, he was the first to walk through the city gate; Liu Xianxian pulled her daughter to follow closely behind. The little girl looked around with curiosity, her eyes full of novelty about the new environment. It seemed that she had temporarily forgotten the sadness of her father's departure. Her innocent appearance was particularly touching in this strange city.

Lin Fan took the two of them and came to an inn on a spirit boat.

The inn has a quiet environment and elegant decoration, exuding an extraordinary temperament everywhere. You can tell at a glance that it is of high quality.

Lin Fan rented two upper rooms. The rooms were exquisitely decorated. Not only were they protected by magic circles to ensure the safety of the residents, but they could also prevent others from detecting them with their spiritual sense. They were extremely private, but of course the price was not cheap, requiring three low-level spirit stones a day. Lin Fan rented them for seven days without any hesitation.

After making arrangements for Liu Xianxian and her daughter, Lin Fan said seriously, "I have some things to take care of, which will probably take two or three days. You just wait here for me and don't leave the inn at will."

As he spoke, Lin Fan took out a sound transmission note from his storage bag and handed it over. "If there's anything, use this to send me a sound transmission note. I'll come as soon as I receive it."

Originally, Liu Xianxian was secretly worried that Lin Fan was going to abandon her and her daughter, but after seeing Lin Fan take out the sound transmission talisman, she put aside her doubts. It seemed that this senior was a man of his word.

Liu Xianxian took the sound transmission note and said, "Senior, we understand. I will wait here with my daughter. Please don't abandon us two."

As he spoke, he had a pleading look on his face. He looked so pitiful that anyone who saw him would feel pity for him.

Lin Fan said, "Of course, what I said counts. However, if that place doesn't satisfy me, I won't take care of you and your daughter in vain. Even if it's fake, you and your daughter will have to bear my wrath."

When Liu Xianxian heard this, she was suddenly at a loss. She could only pray silently in her heart that her husband did not lie to her, otherwise she and her daughter really didn't know what to do.

Then Lin Fan turned around and left, heading towards Xianyuan Street. Before coming here, he had divided the materials into dozens of storage bags, leaving only some rare and precious materials, and prepared to sell all the others.

After a while, Lin Fan arrived at the Fengle Merchant Alliance Auction House. After entering the hall, Lin Fan released his aura, and the powerful pressure of the Jindan stage instantly spread out. He said, "I'm looking for your shopkeeper. I have a big deal to do with him. Please inform him quickly."

Upon hearing this, the servant beside him immediately said respectfully, "Senior, please follow me to the private room."

Lin Fan thought that this was a big deal, and going to a private room would be a good way to avoid being seen, so he followed the servant into a private room.

"Please sit for a moment, senior. I will go and find the shopkeeper right away." After saying that, the servant turned around and left the private room.

After a while, a young woman of about fifteen or sixteen walked in, served Lin Fan a pot of fragrant tea, and then quietly left the private room.

Lin Fan picked up a cup of fragrant tea and took a sip. The taste was mellow and rich, and then he waited quietly.

It took nearly half an incense stick of time for the shopkeeper to hurriedly come to Lin Fan's private room.

"I'm Cao Yanlei, the shopkeeper of Fengle Auction House. I heard from my subordinates that the senior has a big business to do with us. I wonder what big business this senior has?" He said with a look of curiosity.

Lin Fan took out a storage bag and handed it over, saying, "This is what's inside. Take a look for yourself."

Cao Yanlei took the storage bag and probed in a trace of spiritual sense to check it out.

After a while, he showed a shocked expression. Although he wondered why this senior had so many monster materials, this was a private matter. He just wanted to make money from spirit stones, but he couldn't pry into other people's privacy, which would anger this senior and cause his business to fail.

It took the shopkeeper Cao Yanlei a full cup of tea to finish the inventory. He then carefully calculated the price in his mind and lowered it by 10%.

Shopkeeper Cao Yanlei said, "Senior, the value of these materials..."

He quoted a shocking price, which was enough to ensure that a Jindan stage cultivator would not have to worry about spirit stones for a hundred years.

Lin Fan also secretly calculated the price in his mind and felt that it was about right. It was reasonable to lower the price of so many materials. So he nodded and said, "No problem, I'll pay with mid-level spirit stones."

Shopkeeper Cao Yanlei said, "No problem. Please wait a moment, senior. I'll be right back."

He turned and walked out. Not long after, he came back with a brand new storage bag. He handed it to Lin Fan and said, "Senior, the spirit stones are all in here. Please count them in front of me."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan inserted a trace of his spiritual sense into the room and examined it. He saw more than a thousand mid-level spirit stones lying quietly inside. He then calmly put them away and said, "No problem. Goodbye!"
