“This place doesn’t seem to be very far from Fortune Island, I can give you the direction and you can go back on your own, no need to follow me.”
After hearing this, Changyun Yuanlei’s face turned red and he said with some embarrassment:
“Big brother!”
“To be honest, I’m kind of unlucky, even known as the Innate Jinxed Holy Body.”
“Although it’s not far from Fortune Island, if I were to find my way back by myself, it’s very likely that I would encounter some unforeseen circumstances.”
“Or else I would get completely lost and never reach Fortune Island.”
It seemed like Changyun Yuanlei was really scared.
Seeing Changyun Yuanlei like this, Lin Jing then said directly:
“Alright then, you can come with me!”
Changyun Yuanlei’s eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, expressing his gratitude to Lin Jing:
“Thank you, big brother!”
After he finished speaking, Lin Jing looked at Changyun Yuanlei, who still appeared somewhat disheveled, and then said:
“You don’t look well right now, do you need to rest first?”
Changyun Yuanlei quickly waved his hands and said:
“No need…”
“As long as I can get back to Fortune Island as soon as possible.”Lin Jing nodded and said:
“Okay, then follow me.”
Having said that, Lin Jing flew straight ahead.
Seeing Lin Jing leave, Changyun Yuanlei hurriedly grabbed the Flood Dragon’s corpse and followed after:
“Big brother…”
“This Flood Dragon is a good thing, it shouldn’t go to waste.”
Without looking back, Lin Jing replied:
“It’s yours!”
…
…
Lin Jing led the way, with Changyun Yuanlei closely following behind him.
To prevent Changyun Yuanlei from getting lost, Lin Jing even slowed down his pace on purpose.
Changyun Yuanlei truly was a chatterbox, telling Lin Jing all about the unlucky incidents he had encountered during this period of time.
Lin Jing occasionally responded to him, but he didn’t ask about anything related to the Changyun Clan or the Lin Family.
After all, they had just met not long ago, and even if Lin Jing wanted to ask, he should wait until they were more familiar with each other to find the right moment.
For now, it was best to maintain the status quo and not rush things.
…
“I don’t know why, but I always feel that big brother gives me a sense of familiarity, as if you are very close to me.”
Halfway through, Changyun Yuanlei suddenly said this.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing also turned his head to look at Changyun Yuanlei.
Then he thought about the Changyun Hidden Technique he was practicing, which came from the Changyun Clan, and figured that might be the reason.
Or maybe it was because they both came from Ancient Alchemy Families, where there was a certain special commonality.
Therefore, he had this feeling.
“Just think of it as fate,” Lin Jing casually explained.
“I think it is probably so, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to meet you here, big brother,” Changyun Yuanlei said with a smile.
…
Having taken Changyun Yuanlei with him, Lin Jing naturally had to slow down a bit.
After a day and a night of flying, Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei finally reached Fortune Island.
Fortune Island was not very large.
It only had a small town called Fortune Immortal City, plus three markets scattered around the island.
Changyun Yuanlei lived in the Southern Market on Fortune Island.
Upon arriving at Fortune Island, Changyun Yuanlei seemed to feel at home and led Lin Jing directly to the Southern Market.
Entering the market required an entrance fee of Spirit Stones.
However, it was not expensive; each person only needed to pay ten Medium Grade Spirit Stones.
Changyun Yuanlei went to the entrance of the market, paid the Spirit Stones, and then took Lin Jing into the market.
There were not many people who lived permanently on Fortune Island, just about ten thousand or so.
Plus, there was the Immortal City and other markets drawing some folks away, making the Southern Market not seem very lively.
Walking in the streets of the market, besides the few pedestrians in twos and threes, there were also vendors selling various items.
Of course.
On the two sides of the market streets, there were also some shops with doors wide open, welcoming the arrival of Cultivators.
As the two walked through the market, it didn’t take long before people started recognizing Changyun Yuanlei.
?0??0.??
After recognizing Changyun Yuanlei, these people immediately distanced themselves from the two of them.
As if the pair carried some kind of plague.
After the people around them had moved away, Lin Jing could even overhear their softly-spoken conversations:
“`
“`
“Isn’t that the Innate Jinxed Holy Body?”
“Looking at him like this, did something unexpected happen again and he got rescued by someone?”
…
“Judging by his appearance, I guess so.”
“I don’t know whether to call it bad luck or good fortune, but every time he goes out, something untoward always happens.”
“But every time, he also manages to escape from danger; if he’s not saved by someone, he pays a price himself and runs back.”
…
“Really, don’t mention it…”
“I reckon, it’s all thanks to Fortune Island.
They say Fortune Island always looks after every one of us.”
“In other places, he probably would have been long gone.”
…
“Mhm, mhm…”
“Right, ever since I came to Fortune Island, I’ve felt a lot luckier.”
“He’s so unlucky, probably only under the protection of Fortune Island can he turn misfortune into safety so many times.”
“Seems like, from now on, we’ll have to keep our distance from him; don’t want his bad luck to rub off on us.”
…
…
Hearing this whispered conversation, Lin Jing couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Changyun Yuanlei, then said:
“It seems you’ve become quite well-known around here.”
Changyun Yuanlei helplessly said:
“No way around it, what they’re saying is the truth.”
“I can’t very well beat them up over it.”
Lin Jing nodded, commenting:
“Well, you’ve got a good attitude.”
At this point, Changyun Yuanlei couldn’t help but chuckle:
“Heh, heh…”
“If beating them up could transfer my bad luck to them, maybe I would’ve really done it.”
“It’s just too bad that it won’t work, and on Fortune Island, there are rules.
If you start a fight without good reason, you’ll be fined plenty of Spirit Stones.”
“I don’t have that many Spirit Stones to give away as fines now.”
“Besides, the management of Fortune Island is actually pretty good.
Living here is a lot more reassuring than on other islands.”
“I certainly don’t want to be expelled from Fortune Island because I caused trouble.”
Hearing Changyun Yuanlei say this, Lin Jing looked around.
In this market, whether it be the Cultivators who set up stalls or the passersby coming and going, everyone appeared peaceful.
It seems that the manager of Fortune Island is indeed capable…
Perhaps noticing Lin Jing’s confusion, Changyun Yuanlei then explained to him:
“Although I haven’t been to many islands, I can affirm that the manager of Fortune Island must be the best.”
“On Fortune Island, you really don’t have to worry about personal safety.”
“Before, I stayed on Seaheart Island for a while.
And in less than ten years, the hundreds of thousands of Superior Grade Spirit Stones I had were swindled away.”
At this point, Changyun Yuanlei couldn’t help but wail:
“Those were hundreds of thousands of Superior Grade Spirit Stones…”
Lin Jing frowned slightly, looking at Changyun Yuanlei:
“Isn’t Seaheart Island supposed to be strictly regulated?”
Changyun Yuanlei curled his lip and said:
“The regulations are indeed strict, but they target the lower-level Cultivators.”
“Seaheart’s two Honored Lords seem to manage the whole island, but they rarely show themselves; the management responsibilities are all delegated to several Cultivators in the Solidifying Body Realm.”
“If it wasn’t for the few Spirit Stones I had to save my life, I probably wouldn’t have made it to Fortune Island at all.”
“Compared to Seaheart Island, Fortune Island is simply paradise.”
Hearing Changyun Yuanlei speak like this, it seems Seaheart Island is not at all what Lin Jing imagined.
Lin Jing felt he might need to stay on Fortune Island for a while to find out more about Seaheart Island first.
…
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
Changyun Yuanlei had been recuperating these past two days, while Lin Jing had been making rounds in the market.
He also took the opportunity to inquire about Seaheart Island.
From what Lin Jing found out, it seems Seaheart Island really is problematic, just as Changyun Yuanlei described.
Until this day.
Lin Jing planned to visit the only Immortal City on Fortune Island, Fortune Immortal City.
And Changyun Yuanlei happened to have fully recovered.
So.
Changyun Yuanlei volunteered enthusiastically to join Lin Jing on his trip to Fortune Immortal City…
