Immortality and cultivation begin with full comprehension.

Chapter 207 Is this the truth?

This time, the "Palm Thunder" technique, which is quick to cast but weak, cannot be used.

Such minor supernatural powers are simply no match for this top-tier second-order talisman.

Li Yunjing immediately conjured "Gui Water Divine Thunder" while flashing.

Despite being proficient in the five elements' mutual restraint and supernatural powers, Li Yunjing showed no panic when facing the second-tier fire-type talisman.

"Boom!"

When the "Gui Water Divine Thunder" exploded, the firebird was blasted into pieces, turning into sparks that flew in all directions.

Sparks ignited the surroundings, and a huge fire crackled and popped.

"What kind of lightning magic is this? How can it be so powerful? Is it water-based lightning magic?"

Lin Kai was shocked and his heart skipped a beat. Could this kid be an important figure in the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect"?

In the Southern Continent, the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect" is most skilled in thunder magic.

The "Shenxiao Dao Sect" was a behemoth sect that dominated the northern Ming Dynasty.

If Li Yunjing really brings people from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" this time, then things will be troublesome.

The thought made Lin Kai's heart skip a beat.

He rode the "Lava Tiger" and kept fleeing, his divine sense constantly scanning in all directions.

Are there any other members of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" who have also come here, just like the three siblings, harboring the same idea of ​​"the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind"?
But then Lin Kai rejected the idea.

The Shenxiao Dao Sect is a behemoth sect. If some of their people were to actually come, they wouldn't need to resort to any schemes or tricks!
The Shenxiao Dao Sect only needs one veteran Foundation Establishment expert to secure victory and wipe out all of them.

The power of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" is such that even on the Canglan Continent, it would be considered a top-tier behemoth sect.

Even at the height of their power, Lin Kai and his seven siblings couldn't afford to offend such a behemoth sect.

Right now, only Li Yunjing and Yu Yunyi are here. It seems that the two came to buy materials and decided to come here to search for treasure on a whim.

Thinking of this, Lin Kai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not a small group from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" entering the South China Sea, there's not much danger.

Although he had figured this out, Lin Kai was still shocked by Li Yunjing's performance. There were very few geniuses like him even in the Canglan Continent.

The geniuses of the Canglan Continent each possess extraordinary backgrounds, incredible opportunities, formidable combat prowess, and illustrious identities.

Is Li Yunjing also a young talent of this caliber?
Could this person be a peerless genius among the "Shenxiao Dao Sect"?
At this thought, Lin Kai's mind went blank, buzzing.

"Could it be... that he is someone with a significant background within the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'?"

At this moment, Lin Kai was truly flustered.

Killing a prodigy of this caliber would practically create an irreconcilable feud with the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect".

A behemoth sect like the "Shenxiao Daozong" must have some cunning old monsters.

If Li Yunjing held a very high position and was favored by a powerful figure, and this person was killed by his three siblings, the powerful figure might personally intervene and plan for today's events.

At that time, the identities of Lin Kai and his two siblings will likely be difficult to protect under the calculations of powerful figures in the Nascent Soul Realm or celestial divination masters in the Golden Core Realm.

Ordinary cultivators from the Southern Heaven Continent might not know about the Canglan Continent, but the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" would definitely know about this place.

A simple investigation would reveal the purpose of Lin Kai and his group's visit to the Southern Continent.

At that time, wouldn't the enormous treasure they've been longing for just fall into the hands of the "Divine Firmament Dao Sect"?
The thought of possibly losing this treasure made Lin Kai extremely anxious.

The importance of this treasure even surpasses the lives of the siblings!

The Shenxiao Dao Sect must not find out about the treasure before they open it.

Lin Kai was certain that as long as the people of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" knew this secret, they would definitely go all out to help!

In that case, their trip to the Southern Continent would have been in vain.

The siblings also died in vain on the vast sea.

Such terrible consequences made Lin Kai hesitate.

Killing Li Yunjing is too risky!

After thinking for a moment, Lin Kai said in a low voice, "This prodigy of the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect'! Please stop. We can completely turn hostility into friendship!"

"You just give up like that?"

Li Yunjing sneered repeatedly, but still made his move. He had the upper hand, and Lin Kai was trying to back down.
How many things in this world can you only gain an advantage and never suffer a loss?

Li Yunjing had no idea about the dramatic changes in Lin Kai's heart after he unleashed the "Gui Water Divine Thunder".

"Brother Li, let's talk. There's really no need to fight to the death."

Helpless, Lin Kai could only resist while trying to persuade them.

"when……"

Seeing Li Yunjing relentlessly pursuing him, Lin Kai quickly threw out his flying sword, which collided with Li Yunjing's "Azure Sea Listening to the Waves Sword".

As expected, his flying sword broke in two, losing all its spiritual power, and fell to the ground.

In just a short while, Lin Kai was killed and left in a sorry state.

The ferocious "Lava Tiger" was covered in wounds and was forced to retreat.

Lin Kai's cultivation level was too low. He fought his way from the East Hall to the outside, and then from the outside to the vicinity of the North Hall.

Lin Kai felt extremely frustrated throughout the journey.

“Friends of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, we can negotiate and compensate you for your losses, but you cannot continue to attack us.”

"Otherwise, even if we fight you to the death, you won't benefit from it!"

"My eldest brother and third sister are both Golden Core cultivators, but they have dropped in cultivation level. You need to think this through!"

At this moment, Lin Kai led Li Yunjing to the vicinity of the North Hall and quickly spoke.

"Hmm? A Golden Core Realm cultivator?"

Li Yunjing had chased after Lin Kai, intending to kill him, but upon hearing these words, he was immediately startled.

The Golden Core Realm expert dropped in level and became a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.

Such people are certainly not as strong as they are at their peak, but they still have experience, supernatural powers, and magical artifacts.

This kind of old monster is not comparable to an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator. Lin Kai's elder brother and third sister are not so easy to deal with.

In addition, Lin Kai said that his eldest brother and third sister were both Golden Core cultivators.

So Lin Kai is also a Golden Core cultivator?

The thought that this person might be an old monster made Li Yunjing's expression extremely solemn, and he locked his divine sense tightly on the other party.

If Lin Kai made the slightest move, he would unleash his most ferocious attack.

The old monster who was once at the Golden Core stage has been reduced to the Qi Refining stage. Li Yunjing must be careful in dealing with him!

There are many powerful weapons in the cultivation world, and scenes of the weak defeating the strong are commonplace.

Li Yunjing was genuinely afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would fall into Lin Kai's trap and become one of the unlucky ones.

"You're also a Golden Core cultivator?"

While remaining on guard, Li Yunjing asked curiously.

Since the battle in the East Palace was still ongoing, he had plenty of time and was not in a hurry to return to the East Palace to participate in the fighting.

This is a good opportunity to find out more about Lin Kai and his two companions.

Li Yunjing was genuinely curious as to why someone in the Golden Core realm had dropped their cultivation level.

What kind of special state is it when a cultivator drops in cultivation level?

"That's right! But I'm in a worse situation. My physical body was destroyed, so I had to escape with my primordial spirit and possess this person. Unfortunately, this person's aptitude is hard to describe..."

Seeing that Li Yunjing had stopped, Lin Kai was overjoyed and then slowly spoke.

However, when the topic of possessing Lin Kai's body was mentioned, a bitter look appeared on his face.

Otherwise, why would he be chased around by a junior?

Given his reputation on the Canglan Continent, any Foundation Establishment cultivator who offends him, no matter where they come from, will be killed immediately!
This is his typical way of doing things.

Over the years, Lin Kai has had a miserable life, constantly compromising and enduring ridicule and hardships.

That's how we've made it this far.

The plan was originally good and went extremely smoothly, but unexpectedly, disciples of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" appeared in the remote South China Sea, which made him very depressed.

At this time, however, it is crucial to avoid attracting the attention of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

We must keep Li Yunjing calm.

Thinking of this, Lin Kai added, "There's been some misunderstanding between us! If you had said beforehand that you were from the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect,' we wouldn't have had to fight you."

"The reputation of the sect is indeed impressive!"

Seeing Lin Kai back down, Li Yunjing felt a little smug. He remained expressionless and said coldly, "You've schemed against me and my partner twice. You should at least give me an explanation, shouldn't you?"

As the enemy retreated, Li Yunjing advanced, becoming even more aggressive!

"Hmm! You two, each of you, will receive 200,000 low-grade spirit stones! Let's shake hands and make peace, go our separate ways, what do you think?" Lin Kai was overjoyed, knowing that Li Yunjing had the idea of ​​reconciliation, so he quickly offered a solution.

It was worth it to use some spirit stones to get rid of this troublesome person.

Anyway, Lin Kai and his two companions have already made a fortune from this operation, so they don't need these extra resources.

"Ha ha……"

Little did he know that Li Yunjing would sneer, seemingly dissatisfied at all.

"Brother Li, a full four hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, are you still not satisfied?"

Lin Kai frowned, looking somewhat displeased.

He wasn't afraid of Li Yunjing. You have to understand that he was a Golden Core Realm expert with powerful weapons. If it really came down to a fight to the death, he could definitely kill Li Yunjing.

However, a genius like Li Yunjing would undoubtedly hold a very high position in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect," and he simply didn't want to cause trouble.

Thinking of this, Lin Kai took out a talisman from his pocket. The talisman emitted a cold aura, and as soon as it was taken out, a thin layer of ice formed around it.

Even the "Lava Tiger" felt uncomfortable and couldn't help but let out a low growl.

Since all the nice things had been said, and Li Yunjing was still so greedy, trying to get more benefits from him, Lin Kai was naturally unhappy.

Only then did they unleash a high-level talisman to intimidate Li Yunjing.

"A third-tier talisman?"

Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened, and he exclaimed in surprise.

He never expected that Lin Kai would actually be able to pull out a third-tier trump card.

This greatly diminished his desire to continue blackmailing Lin Kai.

"Brother Li certainly has a good eye!"

Lin Kai was taken aback. Seeing that Li Yunjing recognized his talisman, he became even more convinced that Li Yunjing held a very high position in the "Shenxiao Dao Sect".

However, seeing that Li Yunjing was somewhat intimidated, Lin Kai was still slightly smug.

"Hehe! I also have a Tier 3 talisman here!"

Just as Lin Kai thought he had frightened Li Yunjing, he saw a burst of intense heat emanating from Li Yunjing's sleeve, dispelling the chill in front of him. The thin layer of ice melted completely, turning into water stains.

Without activating the talisman, it was able to melt the icy energy with its own inherent power, clearly indicating that it was a talisman of the same level!
This made Lin Kai's expression even more serious.

Third-tier talismans cannot be crafted by all Golden Core cultivators; only talisman makers in the Golden Core realm or top-tier Golden Core experts can do so.

This proves that Li Yunjing really has a powerful backer!

Even if Lin Kai was skilled in scheming, he would never have imagined that Li Yunjing's talisman was a gift from Yu Yunyi for self-defense.

By a twist of fate, Lin Kai became extremely wary of Li Yunjing.

These kinds of geniuses are really not to be trifled with!
"You really are an important figure in the 'Divine Firmament Dao Sect,' you even have such means of self-defense!"

Lin Kai nodded, his expression becoming much more serious.

At this moment, both of them were hesitant and afraid to make a move, neither daring to act rashly.

For a moment, the two remained silent, with only the "Lava Tiger" letting out a low, uneasy roar.

The tense standoff lasted for a full fifteen minutes.

"I'll only ask you one question: what's the deal with this treasure?"

Li Yunjing thought for a moment and then asked the question he most wanted to know.

As Li Yunjing spoke, the tense atmosphere between the two suddenly dissipated.

Lin Kai also breathed a sigh of relief.

He really didn't want to fight Li Yunjing to the death!
"Hehe! This treasure?"

Since he was unwilling to risk his life, Lin Kai was naturally willing to explain after hearing Li Yunjing's question.

"It's very simple! This is an empty training ground! As for which Golden Core Realm expert it belongs to, we don't know, but that doesn't stop us from setting up a small scheme here."

At this point, Lin Kai chuckled, a hint of smugness in his expression.

Li Yunjing had some premonitions, but he still felt somewhat upset when he actually learned the truth from Lin Kai.

You should know that he was also part of the trap!

This made Li Yunjing, who had a high opinion of himself, extremely uncomfortable.

"So what's the deal with these treasures and secret manuals?"

Forcibly suppressing his anger, Li Yunjing continued to ask.

He was filled with unease. Could the secret manual he had risked his life to obtain be fake?

Since it concerned his hard-earned gains, Li Yunjing wanted to know the truth!
"Hmm? You went to the West Palace earlier?"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's words, Lin Kai was taken aback, then nodded, revealing a look of sudden realization.

Lin Kai made no attempt to hide anything and said in a deep voice, "The Golden Core Realm manual is real, but much of its content has been altered. If you were to cultivate it, hehe!"

As for the other secret manuals for Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, Lin Kai didn't say much.

Those low-level cultivation techniques are naturally genuine; otherwise, these cultivators would have been able to spot them as fake.

How could these cunning monks possibly risk their lives for these secret manuals?

Anyway, those at the Golden Core stage already possess too much knowledge; they just aged some books, which didn't take much effort at all.

Besides the books in the West Hall, the materials in the South Hall and the elixirs in the North Hall were also the work of the three of them.

However, compared to books and elixirs, the materials are quite ordinary.

Lin Kai and his two companions were also poor; otherwise, they wouldn't have set up this trap here.

It is precisely because the resources in the South Palace and North Palace are of lower quality that a major war did not break out like that in the East Palace.

The East Hall was where Lin Kai and his group placed their heavy bets, as both Master Canglan and the young woman in red possessed magical artifacts.

In order to lure the various forces on "White Sand Island" into a trap, Canglan Zhenren's treasures became the most valuable treasures for setting up the scheme.

As expected, the revelation of the treasure immediately triggered a massive melee, completely completing Lin Kai and his group's plan.

"What a trick!"

Li Yunjing's face was extremely ugly. He asked coldly, "Where is the East Palace?"

Understanding Li Yunjing's meaning, Lin Kai chuckled and said, "As for the treasures? Those are my elder brother's and third sister's natal magic weapons. They're just waiting for the crucial moment to unleash them and kill these greedy cultivators!"

This time, Lin Kai didn't try to hide anything and told Li Yunjing the whole truth.

"Damn, how insidious! These damned Golden Core Realm old monsters!"

Li Yunjing felt a chill run down his spine, only then realizing the vicious scheme of Lin Kai and his group.

The cultivators of "White Sand Island" in the East Hall are in deep trouble; they're probably really doomed.

As for him and Yu Yunyi, if they followed the manual to cultivate, wouldn't they be practicing the wrong technique and be completely doomed?
Of course, that's a possibility!
Li Yunjing was still somewhat skeptical that he couldn't detect any errors during his cultivation.

Li Yunjing was quite confident in his own comprehension of this.

I don't think I'll continue cultivating using the wrong method; it's just that I've lost two Golden Core realm cultivation techniques!

"Heh heh! You guys really know how to scheme!"

Li Yunjing finally understood that this was a conspiracy, a complete deception.

Since it's a scam, there's no need to fight desperately.

"Alas! We have no choice. Eldest brother, third sister, and I all need resources to restore our cultivation."

"Greedy people who come here are also aware of their own doom; this is the path they have chosen."

"No one ever forced them to be here."

Lin Kai sighed softly.

"Fine! I don't care about anything else!"

Seeing Lin Kai putting on an act, Li Yunjing coldly said, "The two manuals, 'Heavenly Fire Divine Flame Seal' and 'Fire Dragon Divine Light Transformation,' have fallen into the hands of my wife and me. We can't have come here for nothing. In addition to 400,000 low-grade spirit stones, you also need to tell us the original text of these two manuals!"

These are Li Yunjing's conditions. As long as the other party agrees, then we can go our separate ways and the matter will be considered settled.

Li Yunjing had no connection with the people of "White Sand Island," so naturally he wouldn't sympathize with these sects and family cultivators.

As Lin Kai said, they chose their own path; no one forced them to take it.

As cultivators, we should have this awareness.

"Yeah! Okay!"

Upon hearing Li Yunjing's request, Lin Kai thought for a moment and then agreed.

Four hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones isn't much. Along the way, they've killed countless cultivators. At this moment, Lin Kai is wealthy and has enough resources to pay this compensation.

As for the two cultivation techniques, "Heavenly Fire Divine Flame Seal" and "Fire Dragon Divine Light Transformation," they both belonged to his sixth brother.
