?Chapter 638: Chapter 353 Cave Mansion Ruins_2 Chapter 638: Chapter 353 Cave Mansion Ruins_2 “This matter is indeed important, but we must also keep it as confidential as possible, even at the auction. We cannot easily reveal the Lin Family’s intentions.”
Lin Tianfeng was very much in agreement with this statement.
After all, wind-attribute cultivation techniques are considered uncommon, and there are very few forces that can utilize them.
If one were to win it at an auction at any cost, it would be tantamount to giving oneself away.
Fortunately, powers in the Cultivation World, whether they are Golden Core Forces or Foundation Establishment Powers, all like to collect cultivation techniques. Even if they can’t use them at the moment, they won’t easily pass up the opportunity.
In this way, as long as one maintains a balanced mindset, it shouldn’t lead to suspicion.
Understanding this, Lin Tianfeng nodded and firmly committed to memory the instructions given by Lin Xingyan.
Afterward, the two chatted idly for a few moments before leaving separately.
In the days that followed, Lin Tianfeng left early and returned late every day, moving throughout every corner of Qianchuan Market.
From the commercial areas of the shops to the free-trading stalls, and even the private, underground auction houses frequented by cultivators, his presence was seen everywhere.
Besides this, he also visited many old friends and inquired subtly about anything concerning wind-attribute cultivation techniques.
For half a month straight, he did not have a moment’s rest.
Even so, there was still no news concerning wind-attribute cultivation techniques.
Regarding this, Lin Tianfeng dared not slacken his efforts, nor did he dare to intensify his actions carelessly, to avoid revealing the Lin Family’s secrets.
After staying in Qianchuan Market for half a month with no news of the cultivation technique forthcoming, Lin Xingyan had no choice but to return to his family.
As for the cultivation technique, they would have to plan for it slowly.
Lin Tianfeng understood the importance of the cultivation technique and devoted all his energy to it.
Several more days passed.
At the entrance of Luoyun Pavilion, Sun Ling’er stood on the steps, looking at the bustling and lively scene inside. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped in.
Li Rong, who was observant and perceptive, immediately went up to greet Sun Ling’er upon seeing her.
“Esteemed senior, welcome to Luoyun Pavilion. May I know what treasures you are in need of? Please tell me!”
“Our store has recently been stocked with many treasures, including several rare items that are seldom seen, which I trust will satisfy the senior.”
Li Rong courteously received Sun Ling’er with full confidence, his demeanor filled with pride.
Since the opening of Luoyun Pavilion, he and his sister had been working there for several years. Relying on the excellent treatment provided by the Luoyun Pavilion, their cultivation levels had both advanced rapidly.
Li Rong, while earning spirit stones and cultivating, had reached the Qi Refining Eighth Level.
As for his younger sister, Li Yuan, her cultivation exceeded that of her older brother by a few years, reaching the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining.
If things continued this way, perhaps in another ten years or so, the siblings could gather enough spirit stones for a Foundation Establishment Pill, allowing one of them to undergo Foundation Establishment first.
And this comfortable and satisfying life was all thanks to the Lin Family.
Given these circumstances, Li Rong and his sister were very grateful to the Lin Family. Serving as executive officers in Luoyun Pavilion, they worked even harder.
Over the years, the siblings developed a keen ability to appraise treasures and to read people’s expressions and words.
Upon seeing Sun Ling’er, Li Rong immediately recognized that her cultivation level was extraordinary and her influence should not be underestimated.
Indeed, this was true.
In the great battle of Demon-Subduing City, Sun Ling’er, as a teammate of Lin Tianming, had accumulated a large number of military exploits and formed a profound friendship.
Leveraging those two years of experience and reasonably generous rewards from the Zhenyang Sect, her cultivation had reached the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level.
Today, she had come to experience Luoyun Pavilion for herself, as well as to get acquainted with other members of the Lin Family.
Beyond this visit, she also had an important request to make.
Realizing this, Sun Ling’er nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Li Rong’s courteous manner.
Then she finally stated her purpose.
“Young friend, I wonder which Daoist friend is currently in charge of Luoyun Pavilion? Could you possibly convey a message, just say that an old friend of Daoist Tian Ming is here to visit.”
Upon hearing this, Li Rong was thrilled at her polite demeanor, thinking that the Lin Family’s influence was indeed great, as Foundation Establishment Cultivators like her often visited over the years.
Realizing this, Li Rong felt immensely glad about his decision back then.
Having calmed down with great difficulty, Li Rong dared not neglect and hurriedly responded, “Senior, please follow this junior to the private room on the second floor for a brief rest, I will immediately send a message for the proprietor to come.”
“Hmm… Lead the way!”
As Sun Ling’er gave a wave of her hand, Li Rong promptly led her to the second floor, arranged a private room for her, and served her some excellent Spiritual Tea.
Following that, he quickly sent a message to Lin Tianfeng, informing him of Sun Ling’er’s arrival.
Less than a quarter of an hour later, Lin Tianfeng, who had been wandering outside, arrived at Luoyun Pavilion and met with Sun Ling’er who had come for a visit.
At this moment, after exchanging greetings, the two sat opposite each other.
Lin Tianfeng was half-skeptical about Sun Ling’er’s intentions and the things she had said.
Seeing this, Sun Ling’er chuckled, then began to explain.
“Daoist Tianfeng, this young lady has fought side by side with Daoist Lin Tianming for more than a year on the Demon-Subduing City Battlefield,” she said.
“And the Lin Family’s proud daughter Lin Tianxi, she has been like my shadow, sharing everything with me.”
On hearing this, Lin Tianfeng furrowed his brow and then remembered that Qin Xi had entered the battlefield as a daughter of the Lin Family and had changed her name to Lin Tianxi.
Furthermore, Lin Tianming had indeed mentioned Sun Ling’er’s name and distinguishing features, including revealing some of her strength.
Based on this information, he was able to confirm Sun Ling’er’s identity.
Thus, since she could be considered a good friend of both Lin Tianming and Qin Xi, their idle chat became less wary and competitive.
As they chatted idly for a while, they found themselves very much in accord, quickly developing an inexplicable fondness for one another.
This made Lin Tianfeng feel rather strange.
As for Sun Ling’er, her feelings towards Lin Tianfeng were also somewhat incredible.
You see, Sun Ling’er had developed a great fondness for Lin Tianming, subconsciously wanting to get closer to him.
After all, the overall strength of the Lin Family was strong, and Lin Tianming’s talent was exceptional, making him an excellent candidate for a cultivation partner.
It was a case of a beauty loving a hero; Lin Tianming was the dream partner of all female Loose Cultivators.
However, Lin Tianming had somewhat deliberately kept her at bay, and considering Lin Tianming’s talent and strength, as well as the power of the Lin Family, she had no choice but to let the matter go.
Yet unexpectedly, she felt an inexplicable fondness the first time she met Lin Tianfeng.
Although she indeed had some special hopes for the Lin Family,
the inexplicable fondness that emerged for Lin Tianfeng played a big part in her feelings.
Under these circumstances, they quickly became good friends and talked without any reservations.
After exchanging information for a good while, Lin Tianfeng directly inquired about Sun Ling’er’s purpose for visiting.
In response, after a moment’s hesitation, Sun Ling’er spoke frankly about the matter.
“Daoist Tianfeng, please don’t get me wrong, but this young lady’s visit is indeed to discuss a matter of great importance,” she said.
“Oh?”
Lin Tianfeng immediately showed interest and followed with a question, “With Fairy Sun’s capabilities, what matter is so serious that you approach it with such caution?”
“Hehe…”
Sun Ling’er smiled lightly and then said solemnly, “This young lady has luckily discovered a Cave Mansion Ruin. As for how many years it has been or the identity and cultivation of the original owner, that remains unknown.”
“However, based on the fluctuations of the peripheral prohibitions, this Cave Mansion Ruin has existed for a long time, at the very least belonging to a Golden Core Cultivator.”
On hearing this, Lin Tianfeng was greatly shocked and an incredulous expression appeared on his face.
He was aware that in the Cultivation World, Cave Mansion Ruins were not scarce, but they were not easily found.
Moreover, the mansions of ordinary cultivators simply could not withstand the ravages of time and would erode away.
But according to Sun Ling’er, this Cave Mansion Ruin seemed very ancient, and the original owner’s identity and cultivation were not low.
If it indeed was a Golden Core Cultivator’s mansion, especially one from many years ago, there truly could be precious treasures left behind, or even some superior Cultivation Techniques.
After all, even in the vast Qingzhou, a Golden Core Cultivator was considered a formidable force.
Such a cultivator’s leftover possessions and that keen insight were absolutely incomparable to those of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Thinking of these possibilities, Lin Tianfeng became excited and grew even more interested.
