Afterward, Lin Jing began to ponder over how to acquire the Cleansing Spirit Flower’s root stalk from the Pill Master surnamed Wang…

Just at that moment, Liu Yiyuan rose to his feet and left the secret chamber.

Lin Jing quickly halted his musings and focused on Liu Yiyuan’s actions, controlling the Observation Mode to follow behind him, hoping to eavesdrop on his conversation with Wu Cai Immortal.

As Liu Yiyuan made his way toward the inner courtyard of the Liu Clan…

Lin Jing discovered that the Observation Mode had reached its maximum range and could not move forward any further.

The Liu Clan was simply too vast; with the range of Observation Mode, he couldn’t infiltrate it at all.

Unless…

He could enter the Liu Clan’s inner courtyard, but such an act was undoubtedly a death wish.

It seemed that overhearing the conversation between Liu Yiyuan and Wu Cai Immortal was out of the question.

Since he had already obtained the information he wanted, there was no point for Lin Jing to linger here any longer.

Afterward, Lin Jing exited Observation Mode, left the System Space, and departed from this place.

At this time, Liu Yiyuan arrived at the inner courtyard where Wu Cai Immortal resided.

Liu Yiyuan bowed respectfully at the entrance and said,

“Elder Ancestor, Yiyuan requests an audience…”

Following that, a voice came from inside the house:

“Come in…”

Then, with a “bang,” the door automatically opened.

Liu Yiyuan got up and walked in.

Afterward, the door closed.

Liu Yiyuan came to the inner room and bowed to Wu Cai Immortal, who was meditating on a cushion, saying:

“Elder Ancestor…”

“Yiyuan, what brings you here?” “Elder Ancestor, I have prepared the plan to deal with Lin Jing…”

“What plan, let’s hear it…”

Wu Cai Immortal did not open his eyes; he simply spoke up.

“Yes, Elder Ancestor…”

Liu Yiyuan said, and then started to recount the entire plan:

“I had the Pill Master who pledged his allegiance to me tell Lin Jing about a

Fourth Grade Pill Master’s cavern outside the city…”

Following that, Wu Cai Immortal frowned but did not interrupt Liu Yiyuan; he let him continue.

Until half an hour later, Liu Yiyuan had finished explaining his entire plan.

At that point, Wu Cai Immortal opened his eyes and said:

“You mean to say, he agreed?”

Liu Yiyuan bowed and replied:

“Yes, Elder Ancestor, he agreed to head to that Fourth Grade Pill Master’s cavern. ”

After pondering for a moment, Wu Cai Immortal said to Liu Yiyuan: “Your plan is full of holes; it would be truly strange if he agreed.” Sweat broke out on Liu Yiyuan’s forehead, and he hurriedly bowed:

“Please enlighten me, Elder Ancestor…”

“Well, you were never adept at scheming. Moreover, you found such a foolish person; you might well be ambushed without even realizing it.”

“Elder Ancestor means to say, he has already seen through our scheme and intends to ambush me?” Liu Yiyuan quickly asked.

“Whether he has seen through it or not, I cannot say, but it makes no sense for him to agree…” Wu Cai Immortal said.

“Then, Elder Ancestor…” “What should we do now? Should we abandon the plan?”

Wu Cai Immortal said: “Abandon it?”

“Why should we abandon it?”

“If he truly has seen through it and intends to harm you…”

“We should seize this opportunity to employ a countermeasure, openly eliminate him, and also free you from your Heart Demon.” “If he hasn’t seen through it, then carry out the plan as you outlined.”

“Elder Ancestor…”

Liu Yiyuan’s eyes showed a hint of surprise as he looked at Wu Cai Immortal.

Wu Cai Immortal continued to speak:

“Now that the seal on the Demon Race Secret Realm has been broken, and the demonic energy has all dissipated.”

“In two days, we Golden Core cultivators will open the seal to the Demon Race

Secret Realm and venture into it to explore,”

“At that time, I’ll have your father stay behind…”

“Your father now possesses the cultivation of the Golden Core Stage, and with him by your side, no matter whether Lin Jing sees through your plot, under the absolute force of strength, he will have no power to resist,”

“Rest assured, I have already investigated thoroughly, and this Lin Jing is definitely not the Pill Master’s nephew,”

“Even if we kill him, that Pill Master won’t go so far as mutual destruction over a stranger,”

“Understood, Elder…” Liu Yiyuan said.

With the Elder’s arrangements in place, Liu Yiyuan felt significantly more at ease.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Then, recalling what the Elder had mentioned about the Demon Race Secret Realm, he asked:

“Elder, what is this Demon Race Secret Realm all about?”

The Wu Cai Immortal replied:

“This Demon Race Secret Realm was sealed in the past due to the dense demonic energy that made it impossible for cultivators to enter,”

“A few days ago, after a survey, for some unknown reason, the demonic energy was found to be gone.”

“A Demon Race Secret Realm without demonic energy is a treasure trove; it has been seldom visited for many years, and there must be plenty of high-level Spirit Grass, ”

“There may even be a chance for other rare treasures to appear,”

“That’s why we are going to open the seal and be the first to go in for an exploration, and once we confirm there is no danger, we can send people in to excavate on a large scale,”

“A treasure trove, you say…” Liu Yiyuan exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, you might even find some precious Spiritual Medicine inside that could enable you to break through in one fell swoop,” the Wu Cai Immortal said.

“Alright, you may go now…”

“Remember, when the time comes, bring your father. I will speak to him in advance,”

“And…”

“Eliminate that Offering Priest Pill Master from Yuebaolou too,”

“If possible, push everything onto him…”

Liu Yiyuan immediately understood and promptly cupped his hands and said:

“As you command, Elder.”

After Lin Jing returned, he began his cultivation practice straight away.

It lasted until the western sky was filled with red clouds, nearing dusk.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted Lin Jing’s cultivation.

Lin Jing opened his eyes, then stood up and walked towards the door.

Upon opening the courtyard door, he found Huang Qingling standing at the entrance, with Little Sparrow still perched on her shoulder.

Before Huang Qingling could speak, Little Sparrow already flew over and landed on Lin Jing’s shoulder.

While the two were puzzled, Little Sparrow leaned forward and rubbed against Lin Jing’s head.

It then turned its small eyes towards Lin Jing’s Storage Bag before turning back and chirping at him.

“Little Sparrow, how come you’re back to being greedy again…”

Huang Qingling covered her forehead with her hand, finding herself at a loss for words with Little Sparrow.

Lin Jing couldn’t help but laugh and cry; this Little Sparrow had learned how to be cute.

Little Sparrow had just finished helping him out, and now it was turning its back on him so soon, which didn’t feel quite right. Besides, he might need

Little Sparrow’s help again in the future, so naturally, he had to treat Little Sparrow well now.

Thus, Lin Jing took out his Storage Bag, pulled out a small porcelain bottle, and poured out a Gathering Yuan Pill.

Then he said to Little Sparrow:

“Little Sparrow, remember that if I ever need help in the future, you must come to aid me, okay?”

Little Sparrow looked at the Gathering Yuan Pill in Lin Jing’s hand and nodded repeatedly.

Then, Lin Jing handed the Gathering Yuan Pill to Little Sparrow, which took the pill in its beak and swallowed it in one gulp.

After swallowing the Elixir Medicine, Little Sparrow flapped its wings a couple of times and chirped joyfully.

Seeing this, Huang Qingling could only helplessly shake her head and sigh: “This Little Sparrow is hopeless; I really suspect that one day it might be lured away by someone…”

“Friend Qing Ling worries too much; Little Sparrow is very smart and won’t run off with strangers…” Lin Jing defended Little Sparrow.

Showing its intelligence, Little Sparrow directly flew to Huang Qingling’s shoulder and rubbed her cheek, supporting Lin Jing’s words.

“Alright, alright…”

“Stop rubbing; I’m not mad at you anymore…” Huang Qingling said helplessly.

Only then did Little Sparrow stop its actions.

“Friend Qing Ling, did you come to see me because you have something important?” Lin Jing asked.

“Of course, it’s important, and it’s a big deal….”
