Chapter 650: Famous Throughout Luotian – A Warning

The old man stared intently at the Legacy Pseudo-Immortal Treasure, a hint of barely perceptible greed flashing in his eyes.

A faint, knowing smile flashed in Wang Lin’s eyes. He neither feigned panic nor showed any other reaction, remaining composed and utterly calm.

He did not want to actively rob others of Immortal Jade, but if the other party tried to rob him, then he would be justified; it wouldn't be murder and theft, but legitimate self-defense.

With this justification, even if he killed someone, he would be fully righteous and stand firm. Coupled with his powerful cultivation base, no one on Ran Yun Star would dare to step forward for intervention.

Eight hundred years of cultivation had given Wang Lin not only resourcefulness but also a grasp of cunning. However, he rarely displayed his cunning. This time, in the Luotian Star Domain, he had changed his appearance, and acting this way ensured that even familiar acquaintances would absolutely be unable to recognize his identity from this point alone.

A flicker of hesitation crossed the old man’s eyes. After a moment, he let out a long breath of stale air, held the Bronze Mirror, and asked, “How much Immortal Jade do you want for this item?”

Wang Lin’s tone was calm as he slowly replied, “Fifty thousand!”

The old man frowned. He could indeed take out fifty thousand Immortal Jade from his Storage Pouch, but this Immortal Jade was accumulated slowly over nearly a hundred years in preparation for his future Soul Transformation. If he took it out now, he worried it wouldn't be enough when the time came for Soul Transformation.

Deep in thought, he looked down at the Bronze Mirror in his hand, hesitating. He was extremely tempted by this treasure. One must know that if a Nascent Soul Transformation Cultivator could obtain a Legacy Pseudo-Immortal Treasure, the significance would be vastly different. Furthermore, if the treasure's power was sufficient, he could even fight against a Nascent Soul Transformation Great Perfection Cultivator.

Moreover, although he did not know the Divine Ability of this Bronze Mirror, he understood that any Legacy Magic Treasure would not be weak in power.

He had considered killing the man and seizing the treasure, but after sizing up the young man before him, he noted that the man’s demeanor remained calm—which was secondary. Most importantly, being able to produce these two Magic Treasures clearly indicated that this person was a direct descendant of a certain Cultivation Family.

After a brief silence, the old man took out a separate Storage Pouch from his robes, extracted ten thousand Immortal Jade from it, and then threw the remaining amount, along with the Storage Pouch, to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin took it, swept it with his Divine Sense, confirmed the exact amount inside, and placed it into his robes before tossing the Legacy Jade Slip to the old man.

The old man immediately caught the Jade Slip and focused his attention on it. A moment later, joy appeared in his eyes. He hesitated slightly and asked, “Do you have any more?”

Wang Lin glanced at the old man and took out a Hairpin from his Storage Pouch.

“This is also a Pseudo-Immortal Treasure.” Disappointment flashed in the old man’s eyes. He nodded to Wang Lin and turned to walk out of the Green Bamboo Pavilion.

Wang Lin bought some Materials inside the shop and then left. The young man standing nearby still found the scene that had just unfolded somewhat unbelievable.

Walking down the street, Wang Lin spread his Divine Sense, a hint of faint ridicule appearing at the corner of his mouth. A thread of Divine Sense had been constantly locked onto him, following him all the way.

“I’ll give you a chance then!” Wang Lin changed direction, heading toward the city gate. He quickly exited the gate, pulled out a Flying Sword, ascended into the air, and flew straight forward.

His speed was not fast, maintained at the Core Formation Stage level. After traveling several thousand li, a large expanse of mist suddenly appeared in the sky ahead of him. This mist appeared extremely bizarrely, descending out of thin air.

Furthermore, in a flash, the mist condensed into a massive hand, savagely clawing towards Wang Lin, raising a truly ear-piercing howl.

The ridicule in Wang Lin’s eyes intensified, and a bolt of lightning flashed within them. The moment the massive hand clawed down, Wang Lin raised his right hand and casually waved it. In an instant, vast Immortal Power swept out from Wang Lin’s gesture.

Amidst rumbling sounds in the sky, the clawing large hand instantly vanished into thin air. Even the large expanse of black mist behind it was wildly dispersed, and a miserable groan escaped from within.

“You are not Core Formation!!” As the black mist dispersed, a thin middle-aged man was revealed. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, and electric light crackled and ran across his body, making popping sounds. The middle-aged man looked horrified and retreated rapidly without hesitation. Black light flickered around him, clearly indicating he had used some kind of Divine Ability.

Wang Lin glanced at him indifferently, then slowly stepped forward, chasing the middle-aged man ahead without haste. This person’s cultivation was merely at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage. If Wang Lin wanted to kill him, it would take no effort at all.

The middle-aged man was inwardly terrified. A single wave from the opponent had immediately caused his Nascent Soul to dissipate. If he couldn't return to his Family quickly, he would certainly die.

He regretted deeply that he had listened to Elder Sun and caused trouble for this person just for a few Spirit Stones.

What made him even more terrified was the person behind him who kept chasing. This pressure of life and death made him feel as if he was about to collapse.

Several thousand li passed in a flash. The middle-aged man flew directly into the city. His face was pale, and more than half of his Nascent Soul had already dissipated. In his anxiety, he spat out another mouthful of blood, swayed, gritted his teeth, and rushed into the Sun Family Residence at the center of the city.

Upon arriving here, he could no longer control the dissipation of his Nascent Soul and roared hoarsely, “Save me!” As if using his very last trace of strength, the man slumped and fell down immediately.

A white silhouette whistled over. It was a white-robed man who caught the middle-aged man’s body. His expression changed slightly, and without hesitation, he took out a large quantity of Medicinal Pills from his Storage Pouch and poured them all into the middle-aged man’s mouth.

At the same time, numerous figures sped out from the Sun Family Great Residence at the center of the city, with some even soaring into the air.

At this moment, Wang Lin approached with a composed expression, stepping forward.

“How dare you injure a member of my Sun Family!” Among those who flew out from the Sun Family, someone immediately summoned his Flying Sword and charged straight toward Wang Lin. Wang Lin flicked his sleeve, and a fierce wind instantly erupted, forming a storm. Under its sweep, all Sun Family Cultivators within a hundred zhang of his body were lifted up and thrown out.

“All of you, retreat!” A loud shout came from inside the residence. Immediately afterward, three old men walked out. One of these three was none other than Elder Sun who had traded with Wang Lin!

Currently, Elder Sun’s face was extremely gloomy.

The person who spoke was a red-faced old man. He coldly glanced at Wang Lin in mid-air and said chillingly, “Whose child are you? Do you know that trespassing into my Sun Family is a monstrous disaster!”

Wang Lin smiled slightly, pointed at Elder Sun next to the red-faced old man, and said gently, “I came for him!”

Elder Sun’s expression grew even gloomier. He shouted, “Little brat, my transaction with you is already over. Are you regretting it now?”

Wang Lin shook his head, pointed at the unconscious middle-aged man on the ground, and chuckled, “What a coincidence. As soon as I left the shop, this person intercepted me. After failing to defeat me, he ran all the way here.”

Elder Sun let out a cold snort. The two old men beside him, however, frowned. This matter was extremely simple; they exchanged glances and immediately guessed the Karma. It must have been Elder Sun who coveted the other party’s items and, finding it inconvenient to act himself, sent a Clan member instead.

However, Elder Sun was still a Sun Family Elder. Since the incident had already occurred, the two of them had to protect him no matter what. The red-faced old man sneered, “Nonsense. No matter whose child you are, you shall remain here today. We will discuss your life and death after your Family Elders come to negotiate with my Sun Family!”

A cold light flashed in Wang Lin’s eyes. He raised his right hand and pressed down. Immediately, rolling thunder boomed from the sky, and a massive pressure instantly descended, landing directly upon the Sun Family Great Residence.

In that instant, all the Sun Family members immediately changed expression, circulating the Spiritual Power within their bodies to resist, feeling as if they would instantly collapse if they failed to resist.

The three old men, including Elder Sun, had sharp light burst from their eyes, yet it revealed a trace of horror.

“Nonsense, you say?” Wang Lin’s voice was icy.

“Fellow Daoist, please calm your anger!” An aged voice came from within the residence. Immediately after, a black-robed old man slowly stepped out. His appearance instantly caused the descending pressure to dissipate slightly.

Although this person’s cultivation had not reached Soul Transformation, he was at the Nascent Soul Transformation Stage Great Perfection, only a step away from Soul Transformation. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be missing only a trace of enlightenment for Perfection.

However, Wang Lin noticed that for some unknown reason, there was a trace of Soul Transformation aura on this old man. This did not mean the man had concealed his cultivation; rather, it was because the Divine Sense of a Soul Transformation Cultivator was wrapped around him.

“This matter is indeed the fault of my Sun Family; we have offended Fellow Daoist,” the black-robed old man said solemnly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the three men, including Elder Sun, were startled simultaneously, but they immediately understood the situation.

“Two hundred thousand Immortal Jade, and this matter is settled!” Wang Lin glanced at the old man indifferently.

The black-robed old man’s expression shifted slightly. He hesitated, then nodded and said, “That is acceptable. However, two hundred thousand Immortal Jade is a large amount, and this place is merely a Sun Family Branch, so we do not have the full amount. Would Fellow Daoist mind waiting for three days?”

Wang Lin swept his gaze over the old man meaningfully. He was not looking at the old man, but at the Soul Transformation Divine Sense surrounding him. Retracting his gaze, Wang Lin turned and left.

It was only after Wang Lin had gone far away that the black-robed old man finally let out a sigh of relief, and the Soul Transformation Divine Sense on his body dissipated. He glared fiercely at the old man surnamed Sun and let out a cold snort.

The red-faced old man hesitated, then asked softly, “Two hundred thousand Immortal Jade… even in the Main Family, that is a very large sum.”

The black-robed old man said coldly, “Just now, the Main Family Old Ancestor descended upon me and ordered that all demands must be accepted. Forget two hundred thousand Immortal Jade, we must give it even if it were four hundred thousand! Furthermore, regarding today’s incident, implement the Family Gag Order. It must not be spread, and absolutely do not disturb this person again.”

At this moment, in the vast ocean east of Ran Yun Star, a long-haired man, bare-chested, sat cross-legged in the depths of the sea. A moment later, he opened his eyes, and sharp light flashed within them, like two bright lamps in the pitch-black ocean.

He raised his head, gazing into the distance above, and mused internally: “Could this person be that Soul Transformation Cultivator who suddenly appeared? …However, I cannot see through his cultivation level… Furthermore, his presence gives me a faint sense of trembling restraint.

This person must not be provoked. Since he is currently in my Sun Family City, perhaps this is precisely the arrival of an Opportunity for my Sun Family!”

“Was that final glance a warning? …Yes, he was telling me not to disturb him… This person has the qualification to speak to me like that…” The man fell silent. After a long while, he moved, flying directly out of the seabed and stepping away.
