?Chapter 678: Chapter 292: Meeting the Yan Family’s Ancestor_2 Chapter 678: Chapter 292: Meeting the Yan Family’s Ancestor_2 Afterward, Yan Family’s ancestor looked up and hurriedly looked towards Lin Jing.
When he saw the utterly serious expression on Lin Jing’s face, which did not seem like he was joking, Yan Family’s ancestor’s brows also furrowed slightly.
Then, Yan Family’s ancestor spoke directly to Lin Jing:
“Please wait a moment!”
After speaking, Yan Family’s ancestor closed his eyes and then directly gathered stronger Spiritual Power, channeling it into the green orb of light in the palm of his hand.
Not long after, less than a quarter of an hour, the orb of light became increasingly bright, and the wood attribute aura within it grew stronger.
Right when the wood attribute aura in the orb reached its peak, Yan Family’s ancestor directly caused the orb to rise and then merged it into his forehead.
After the orb of light merged into Yan Family’s ancestor’s forehead, the aura around his body gradually calmed.
Only then did Yan Family’s ancestor open his eyes.
He then looked towards Lin Jing with a serious expression:
“Is what you just said true?”
Although Yan Family’s ancestor looked serious, Lin Jing could hear from his voice that his heart must be quite restless at this moment.
…
The legends of the Five Elements Ruins were well known to Yan Family’s ancestor.
The legends spoke of items critical to advancing to the Solidifying Body Realm within the Five Elements Ruins, the Five Elements True Spirits.
These Five Elements True Spirits pose a great temptation to every Divinity Transformation Cultivator who has not yet entered the Solidifying Body Realm.
No one is an exception.
Naturally, Yan Family’s ancestor was also greatly tempted.
After all, that was the Solidifying Body Realm.
In the entire Southern Outer Sea, how many cultivators were there in the Solidifying Body Realm?
He had been stuck at the Nascent Soul Peak for hundreds of years, and without a fortunate opportunity, Yan Family’s ancestor had no doubts that he might be stuck there for the rest of his life.
The sudden words from Lin Jing now gave him hope, so how could he not be excited?
However, Lin Jing’s words were too astonishing; even though he trusted Lin Jing greatly, he still had to be cautious about this matter.
…
Lin Jing didn’t waste words and directly took out two tokens from the Storage Bag.
One, a Five Elements Earth Command, and another a Five Elements Fire Command.
Following that,
Lin Jing directly presented the two tokens.
Upon seeing the two tokens, Yan Family’s ancestor’s breath hitched, and even his eyes stared intently.
He had not expected Lin Jing to actually bring out Five Elements Commands, and furthermore, two of them.
After taking out the tokens, Lin Jing passed them over directly, and Yan Family’s ancestor, reacting quickly, reached out and took the tokens.
After receiving the tokens, Yan Family’s ancestor held them in his hands and thoroughly inspected them.
After a good while, after inspecting the tokens, Yan Family’s ancestor didn’t find any signs of forgery.
But seeing Lin Jing produce the Five Elements Commands, he still seemed unable to believe it and thus asked Lin Jing:
“Where did you get these tokens from?”
“They wouldn’t happen to be fake, would they?”
Understanding Yan Family’s ancestor’s skepticism, Lin Jing also understood.
After all, the Five Elements Commands were not ordinary treasures and were not so easily found.
Moreover, he had produced not one, but two.
Anyone would be suspicious.
So, Lin Jing spoke directly:
“Elder, don’t you have a method to verify the authenticity of the tokens?
You can check them at any time.”
Perhaps the matter was too shocking; Yan Family’s ancestor had inspected them but had forgotten to use the art of verification until Lin Jing’s reminder, and only then did he remember.
He then hurriedly said:
“Good…”
“I will inspect it right now.”
After saying this, Yan Family’s ancestor then began to gather Spiritual Power and started to verify the two tokens…
After Yan Family’s ancestor’s verification, both tokens were indeed genuine.
Yan Family’s ancestor then looked at Lin Jing again, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“Where did you get these Five Elements Commands from?”
“And to have acquired two at once.”
Lin Jing then spoke:
“These two tokens were found in different places.”
“One of them was found by chance on an uninhabited island.”
“And another one, from the Five Elements Cave Mansion.”
Upon hearing Five Elements Cave Mansion, Yan Family’s elder ancestor hurriedly asked:
“You have actually been to the Five Elements Cave Mansion!”
The Five Elements Cave Mansion, connected with the Five Elements Ruins, is the necessary passageway to enter the Five Elements Ruins, but the Cave Mansion has always been secretive, and many are unaware of its exact location.
Thus, the elder ancestor of the Yan Family was quite surprised that Lin Jing had entered the Five Elements Cave Mansion.
Lin Jing nodded and said:
“Yes…”
“At that time, I was invited together with the three major Island Masters of the Thousand Islands Domain to enter the Five Elements Cave Mansion.
It was there I got a Five Elements Command Token.”
“It was them,” the elder ancestor of the Yan Family frowned slightly, then continued:
“Then it seems that the other Five Elements Command Tokens should be in their possession.”
Lin Jing nodded, “Yes, elder.”
“Now that all five tokens have appeared, besides these two tokens, the remaining three are in their hands.”
“Oh, and there’s Li Mingwu.”
“Former Island Master of Yue Tian Island, Li Mingwu, has a token, although I’m not sure if it’s one or two.”
“Li Mingwu…”
“I have heard of him, but we don’t really have any relations,” said the elder ancestor of the Yan Family.
Having finished, the elder ancestor of the Yan Family continued to inquire Lin Jing:
“So, what you just mentioned about inviting me to go to the Five Elements Ruins, what’s that about?”
Lin Jing opened his mouth and said:
“Now that all five Five Elements Command Tokens have appeared, I have two here, and Yue Tian Island’s Island Master Bai Yi has one.”
“The remaining two should be with Li Mingwu and True Dragon Island’s Island Master.”
“My intention is to offer one token to the elder, then we enter the Five Elements Ruins together.”
After hearing this, the elder ancestor of the Yan Family first looked at the Five Elements Command in his hand, rubbed it for a while, then raised his head, looking back at Lin Jing with curiosity and said:
“This token is so valuable, if you were to sell it, surely you could exchange it for quite a lot of cultivation resources, but to give it to me like this, isn’t that a loss for you?”
Lin Jing shook his head, then said:
“Elder might not be aware, but Demon Lord Wan Mo is already dead.”
“Demon Lord Wan Mo is dead?” the elder ancestor of the Yan Family frowned.
Lin Jing nodded and said:
“Li Mingwu and the True Dragon Island Island Master joined forces, killed the Demon Lord Wan Mo, and took away the Five Elements Water Command that originally belonged to him.”
“Now Li Mingwu and the True Dragon Island Island Master have formed an alliance, and given that I’ve been into the Five Elements Cave Mansion, it’s likely that it will soon be exposed that I hold a Five Elements Command.”
“Soon, they will probably come looking for me.”
Having said this, Lin Jing did not continue.
But the elder ancestor of the Yan Family then continued:
“So.”
“You’ve come to me, offering me a Five Elements Command Token, and proposing an alliance with me to deal with those two.”
Lin Jing shook his head and said:
“Dealing with them might be a bit out of reach, at most we can only check them.”
“Five tokens allow only five people to enter into the ruins.”
“Entering the ruins is for the purpose of seeking the Five Elements True Spirit, to advance to the Solidifying Body Realm, so there will inevitably be competition.”
“Now…”
“With Li Mingwu and the True Dragon Island Island Master having formed an alliance, if they enter the Five Elements Ruins, the two of them together will indeed pose a threat to the other three.”
“My original thought was, since the two of them are in alliance, then I might as well invite the elder together.”
“And if possible, Yue Tian Island’s Bai Yi, who already has grievances with Li Mingwu, might also be invited…
“If the three of us join hands against the two of them, that would be even better.”
“However.”
“Ideally, this matter should still be initiated by the elder…”
After hearing this, the elder ancestor of the Yan Family nodded.
?????.??
“What do you think, elder?” Lin Jing then asked.
The elder ancestor of the Yan Family then spoke with a smile:
“Such an opportunity comes once in ten thousand years.”
“Since you are willing to offer me such an opportunity, I will gladly accept it.”
“Neither Li Mingwu nor that Daoist from the Dragon Island intimidate me; you just follow me when the time comes, and I will protect you.”
“Although I am not afraid of them, even if Li Mingwu and the Dragon Daoist are in alliance, they won’t be to my advantage.”
“If we want to seize the Five Elements True Spirit as you said, then Bai Yi, we can indeed try to contact him too…”
