Chapter 392 - 92 Lu Youjiu Leaves
Chapter 392: Chapter 92 Lu Youjiu Leaves
Lin Jing then continued to speak, asking,
“Lu Brother…”
“Weren’t you always training in the outer southern seas before?”
“Why do you suddenly want to leave for the Inner Sea?”
Lu Youjiu paused for a moment and then looked at Lin Jing, explaining,
“Actually, my home has always been in the Inner Sea…”
“I was originally the son of the Shocking Seas Alliance’s Alliance Master Lu Jingtao…”
“It’s just that I had some disagreements with my family, which is why I came out to fend for myself…”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing was immediately startled and quickly asked,
“The Shocking Seas Alliance…”
“Is that the top-tier power known as the Shocking Seas Alliance, which is on par with the Seven Seas Hall and the Changyun Clan?”
Lu Youjiu nodded, saying,
“That’s right…”
Hearing Lu Youjiu confirm this, Lin Jing was also utterly shocked.
The Shocking Seas Alliance was an extremely famous top-tier force within the Demon Monster Sea’s Inner Sea.
Together with the Seven Seas Hall, Changyun Clan, and the Ice God Palace, they were known as the four great powers of the Demon Monster Inner Sea.
It can be said that the entire Demon Monster Inner Sea is under their control.
Moreover, the Shocking Seas Alliance’s strength is incomparably formidable, and within the alliance, there were also numerous experts.
In terms of combat power, it was close to the strongest, the Seven Seas Hall, and could almost be considered among the top two.
Unexpectedly, Lu Youjiu turned out to be the son of the Alliance Master of the Shocking Seas Alliance.
Lin Jing then gave a wry smile and said, “Lu Brother…”
“I had no idea you were the young master of the Shocking Seas Alliance, you kept it so well hidden from me.”
Lu Youjiu, however, shook his head, a trace of desolation in his gaze,
“Actually, sometimes I wish I were just a Loose Cultivator…”
A moment later, Lu Youjiu collected his emotions and continued,
“Let’s not talk about that now…”
“It was just three months ago that I received news that a major event happened in the Demon Monster Inner Sea, affecting many major powers, and the impact was not insignificant.”
“Furthermore, this matter has extensive implications.”
“If I were to stay here, not only would my safety be at risk, but it could even possibly implicate you as well.”
“That’s why I must return to the Shocking Seas Alliance. Only in this way can I ensure my own safety.”
“And…”
“After returning this time, I probably won’t be able to come out freely anymore.”
“Hence, we needed to come and bid you farewell.”
Lin Jing fell silent for a moment.
Then he turned his head, looking at Holaw Three Rivers and Yan Wanfei who were behind Lu Youjiu, and continued to ask,
“San He Brother, and Yan Brother, are you both going back with him?”
Lu Youjiu nodded, saying,
“Yes…”
“This time, I might get involved in some issues, so I need a few trustworthy people by my side.”
“The three of us have been together for many years and know each other quite well. These two are the right candidates.”
Lin Jing then fell silent for a while and said,
“I understand…”
After saying this, Lin Jing looked at the others and asked,
“So when do you plan to set off?”
Lu Youjiu pondered for a moment, then said,
“In a few days, we still need to make some other preparations these few days.”
“If that’s the case, we still have time for another gathering.”
……
Lu Youjiu didn’t propose that Lin Jing accompany them, and Lin Jing didn’t offer to follow…
Both knew that no banquet in the world goes on forever, and it was time for them to part ways.
Because.
Lin Jing’s identity was special, and there were likely still many enemies in the Demon Monster Inner Sea, so it wasn’t a good time for him to venture into the Inner Sea.
Lin Jing was also aware of this and naturally didn’t propose to go, to avoid causing trouble for Lu Youjiu.
……
Lin Jing then nodded,
“That’s good, how about we gather again tomorrow? I’ll cook…”
“Niu San has been looking forward to it for a long time…”
Upon hearing this, Yan Wanfei immediately nodded repeatedly, saying,
“That sounds great…”
“To tell you the truth, I have been craving that seabird you roasted since last time.”
Lu Youjiu also nodded, saying,
“Mm, I was fortunate enough to eat it once…”
“The flavor really was good, Lin Brother, I’ll have to trouble you then.”
Lin Jing smiled and said,
“No problem, I’ll make sure you all have your fill next time.”
No sooner had Lin Jing’s voice faded when Holaw Three Rivers spoke up at this moment, very seriously saying,
“You all have had it, only I haven’t even seen it, let alone tasted it.”
“I always feel like I’m at a bit of a loss…”
Yan Wanfei then laughed and said to Holaw Three Rivers,
“That’s easy to fix, just eat twice as much next time, and you’ll be even…”
Hearing this, Holaw Three Rivers pondered seriously for a moment, then said,
“That proposal, I think it’s feasible…”
Lin Jing also smiled,
“No problem, you’ll get to eat your fill…”
At this point, Lin Jing suddenly remembered something and then said to Yan Wanfei,
“Niu San…”
Yan Wanfei turned his head to look at Lin Jing,
“Lin Brother, what is it? Tell me…”
“Following that…”
Lin Jing then directly took out a Pure Jade Box and tossed it to Yan Wanfei.
Seeing the object Lin Jing threw over, not even identifying what it was, Yan Wanfei quickly reached out to catch it.
Feeling the icy temperature in his hand, Yan Wanfei looked down…
He saw a perfectly square Pure Jade Box in his hands, and inside that box lay an almost transparent Elixir Medicine.
When he saw the Elixir Medicine, Yan Wanfei first froze for a moment, then became incredibly excited:
“Eternal Youth Elixir, Lin Brother, you truly managed to refine it…”
Lin Jing wore a light smile and then said,
“It was also a bit of luck, didn’t expect to succeed on the third try.”
Yan Wanfei then burst into hearty laughter:
“Hahaha…”
“Lin Brother, you’re really something else.”
“No way, I’ve got to give you a bear hug today no matter what…”
Speaking, Yan Wanfei spread his arms, ready to embrace…
Lin Jing’s smile immediately froze on his face,
Then he quickly reacted and hastily hid behind Lu Youjiu.
Then he began to stir the pot:
“Brother Lu, Niu San is being annoying again.”
“How about, we beat him up…”
Lu Youjiu nodded his head and looked at Yan Wanfei with a very unfriendly gaze before he spoke:
“Twice…”
“I was annoyed too.”
The initially excited Yan Wanfei was immediately stunned and then quickly began to explain:
“No, no, Brother Ji… Drink Brother…”
“It’s just that I couldn’t help myself, I wanted to express my gratitude to Lin Brother.”
“I protest, you can’t treat me like this…”
However, Yan Wanfei’s protest was directly rejected by Lu Youjiu:
“You’re too abnormal, protest denied.”
Holaw Three Rivers also nodded at that moment, giving Yan Wanfei a disdainful look before speaking:
“Add another one, I was disgusted just now as well.”
Lu Youjiu nodded, saying:
“No problem…”
Yan Wanfei incredulously widened his eyes, looking towards Holaw Three Rivers and said:
“No way, San He, even you too…”
But Holaw Three Rivers was dead serious, replying:
“Originally, I wanted to help out by providing a formation while he was beating you up, but since it’s the first time you’ve disgusted me to my face, I let go of that idea.”
“I think you should be thanking me.”
Yan Wanfei immediately collapsed:
“Oh my, what kind of people have I met…”
…
…
A few days quickly passed, and Lu Youjiu and the others left together.
Before leaving, Holaw Three Rivers made a move to reinforce the formations of Li Yan Island for Lin Jing.
Now, the entire defense level of Li Yan Island had been raised by more than a notch.
Then, according to Lin Jing’s plan,
he also arranged several formations within the mountain range to the north of Li Yan Island.
Following the idea Lin Jing had previously conceived, he turned the entire Li Yan Island into a semi-open island.
The southern area of Li Yan Island, where many original resident cultivators lived, could be open to the outside, conducting trade with other islands and such.
While the latter half of Li Yan Island, including the developed Spirit Fields and the mountains behind them, along with the Earth Flame Spring,
were treated as the forbidden area of Li Yan Island.
Usually shrouded by formations, they were off-limits to everyone.
And Lin Jing lived in the northern part of Li Yan Island.
This makeover of Li Yan Island was indeed a tiring task for Holaw Three Rivers.
First, there were three sets of stacked formations for the entire island, followed by the forbidden zone in the northern part of Li Yan Island, which also required formation protection.
All these required at least three sets of formations.
A Killing Formation, a Trapping Formation, and a Defensive Array, stacked together to form a chain of formations.
Beyond these formations,
Li Yan City also needed formation protection.
Originally, Li Yan Island had two cities.
The other city also changed its name to Li Yan Fang Market.
In the future, this will be the place responsible for trade with the outside world and other islands in the Thousand Islands Domain.
Naturally, Li Yan Fang Market also required formation defense.
And the Spirit Fields behind Li Yan City, too, naturally could not be without formation protection…
…
…
All of these kept Holaw Three Rivers extremely busy for the last few days…
Thankfully, with the assistance of Lin Jing and Yan Wanfei, these formations were finally completed.
After completion, Holaw Three Rivers handed over all the control methods for these formations to Lin Jing.
Now, Li Yan Island could be said to be entirely under Lin Jing’s control.
With these great formations in place, even if a Divinity Transformation Stage cultivator were to come, they might not be able to break through these formations for a while.
However,
If it were for a prolonged period, that might be a different story.
After all, Lin Jing’s cultivation was still far from sufficient.
So, for the time being, Lin Jing still needed to act with discretion, avoid attracting the attention of other formidable cultivators.
Otherwise, even with formations for protection, it wouldn’t be safe.
Besides,
Before leaving, Lu Youjiu distributed some Nirvana Elixirs that Lin Jing had previously refined among the group.
Since Lin Jing had provided the most crucial ingredient, the Nirvana Flower, and the elixir was made by his own hand,
Lu Youjiu took the initiative to give Lin Jing the Superior Nirvana Elixir and the Medium Grade Nirvana Elixir,
While the other two Superior Nirvana Elixirs were given to Holaw Three Rivers and Yan Wanfei, one for each, to be used when they attempt to reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
Beyond these elixirs,
Lu Youjiu also learned from Yan Wanfei that Lin Jing wanted to plant high-grade elixir medicine seeds,
So he arranged for Lin Jing to get two seeds through his own connections.
These two seeds were precisely the Spirit Plants needed for refining the Nirvana Elixirs.
Lin Jing didn’t refuse and took the two seeds without hesitation.
He genuinely needed these seeds.
Then, before leaving, Lin Jing also prepared some elixir medicines for Holaw Three Rivers and Yan Wanfei,
So that the two could quickly improve their strength.
Last,
The group said farewell to each other.
Lu Youjiu and the other two boarded the Flying Boat and then left Li Yan Island.
After Lu Youjiu and the others had departed on the Flying Boat,
Lin Jing stood in the sky above Li Yan Island, gazing long and hard…
In the future, they might meet again.
But by then, Lin Jing might already have enough strength not to worry about anything anymore.
But for now, he couldn’t do that…
