Chapter 657: Renowned in Luotian, Karma Cycle, Seeking Life, Seeking Death

"These are the conditions for me to protect you all!" Wang Lin's words did not give others the right to choose. He withdrew his gaze from the three of them.

If these three agreed, that was fine; if they did not agree, then Wang Lin naturally would not get involved in this muddy water.

The Ran Family Old Ancestor pondered for a moment. The threat of the Huan Family was simply too great. If no one stepped forward for this matter, then once it was discovered, their Ran Family would face the danger of annihilation.

He gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Fine!" After saying this, the Ran Family Old Ancestor's gaze flashed, and he turned his head to stare at the middle-aged man who had previously been Cultivating inside the Profound Ice.

It was not just the Ran Family Old Ancestor; Sun Xi also had a strange gleam in his eyes as he looked at the middle-aged man, the Loose Cultivator Xiaoyao.

"Brother Zhao, the matter that day was committed by the three of us together. Do you intend to stay out of it alone?" the Ran Family Old Ancestor said coldly.

The Loose Cultivator Xiaoyao was silent. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "I agree." As he spoke, he took out a Storage Pouch containing Immortal Jade from his bosom. After taking some out, he threw it directly to Wang Lin and said bitterly, "Zhao's Family is not large, and there is not that much Immortal Jade. The Immortal Jade in this Storage Pouch was painstakingly saved by Zhao."

The Ran Family Old Ancestor and Sun Xi subsequently handed over their Immortal Jade as well. Immortal Jade is a precious consumable that Cultivators often carry with them.

As for the relics of the deceased Huan Family member from back then, the three of them did not hesitate at all; they each took them out and handed them all over to Wang Lin. These items had been in their hands for four years, but they were not treasures; they were a death tribulation, pressing down on their hearts and making them restless.

Having collected these items, Wang Lin turned and stepped away, disappearing from the spot, leaving behind only one sentence that drifted through the surrounding world.

"If there is nothing, do not disturb me. If the Huan Family comes, I will naturally take action."

After Wang Lin left, the three were all silent. Sun Xi had other thoughts in his heart and was currently the most relaxed person. He smiled slightly, cupped his hands, and said, "Two Fellow Daoists, I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

The Loose Cultivator Xiaoyao also sighed and said, "Zhao also needs to return to his Family to prepare for the future when Fellow Daoist Xu asks for Immortal Jade again."

The two of them went north and south, turning into long rainbows and leaving. The Ran Family Old Ancestor stood alone in place, silent for a long time, then he exhaled deeply, looked up into the distance, and muttered to himself, "Forget it, spend money to avoid disaster… The matter from four years ago is being borne by this Xu Mu. If he does not die, we will be fine. Moreover, this person does not look like someone who would break his promise, but we must also guard against this person secretly leaving Ranyun Star."

At this very moment, in the southern part of Thousand Illusions Star, within the Huan Family ancestral residence, the Huan Family Head, Huan Fengshen, stood respectfully before an old man. That old man had a gaunt face and was the very person who had brought Liu Mei back from the Alliance Star Domain.

"He went missing four years ago; why is this being handled only now?" the old man's voice was cold.

"Old Ancestor, that person was just a member of a branch of our Huan Family. It is just that his talent was relatively good, and his cultivation reached the Soul Transformation Middle Stage, which is why he obtained an external position. You know, Old Ancestor, that our Huan Family has too many members. Apart from the direct lineage, it is impossible to carefully investigate everyone, even if they go missing," the Family Head, Huan Fengshen, said calmly.

"Is there no one with a higher cultivation than him?" the old man asked with a frown.

"Old Ancestor, the time you requested is too tight. If you give me another three months, I can find someone more qualified. Currently, it is impossible," Huan Fengshen said softly.

"Fine, I will give you another three months!" the old man pondered for a moment and said decisively.

"Then what about this tribesman who went missing four years ago?" Huan Fengshen looked up and asked.

"Since you know about this matter, send the tribal guards assigned to Huan Mei to handle it. Everyone involved in this matter is to be uprooted! The prestige of the Huan Family must be established!"

Huan Fengshen acknowledged and withdrew.

After leaving the room, a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself, "The Old Ancestor is truly old. He would actually go so far as to use the Blood Replacement Great Technique for an outsider, and he even wants this Huan Mei to establish prestige. Could it be that he intends to hand the Huan Family over to this person in the future!"

Three days later, in her pavilion, Liu Mei looked at the sky outside and said calmly, "Ranyun Star… Since my foster father has handed this matter to me and let me send the tribal guards to handle it, then, Huan Dong, you go…"

"Yes!" In the void behind Liu Mei, a person immediately materialized. This person looked to be in his thirties and was handsome. After appearing, he knelt on one knee, and as he looked up at Liu Mei's back, his gaze was full of fanaticism.

"Your cultivation has reached the Peak of the Soul Transformation Middle Stage. On this trip, there should be no accidents. Although this matter is small, it is the first thing I am doing in the Huan Family. You must make a quick decision. Huan Dong, do you understand?" Liu Mei turned around, looked at the man behind her, and said softly.

"Young Miss, rest assured, Huan Dong will definitely not fail the task!" Huan Dong took a deep breath, his eyes even more fanatical. From the first moment he saw Liu Mei, his heart had been greatly shaken, and he was amazed by her beauty.

"The highest cultivation on Ranyun Star is just the Ran Family Old Ancestor. This person, like me, is only at the Soul Transformation Middle Stage. Even if you gave him a hundred guts, he would not dare to resist. Huan Dong's trip will definitely not tarnish Young Miss's prestige."

Liu Mei smiled, a smile of extreme beauty. In Huan Dong's eyes, it was even more stunning. He was stunned for a moment, and the fanatical color in his eyes grew even thicker, even carrying a strong sense of infatuation.

During his teleportation, Wang Lin returned to the Sun Family's small city. He did not return directly to the Fang residence but walked on the streets, contemplating his insights into the Concept. The Life and Death Reincarnation Concept had already merged with his Primordial Spirit as one. His Primordial Spirit was that insight into Life and Death Reincarnation.

"Above Life and Death, is it Karma… I cannot be sure… The Dao of Karma is too vast. Before, during Soul Transformation, I realized the Heart Dao, which turned into the Yellow Springs. But… this Yellow Springs Dao is the manifestation of death within Life and Death, dying in the Yellow Springs."

Looking at the bustling crowd around him, Wang Lin frowned slightly.

"But where is the Dao of Life…"

While lost in thought, Wang Lin sighed softly and stepped into the North City. At a glance, he saw the young man sitting cross-legged under the mountain rock and a smile appeared on his face.

"This girl has a very kind heart. Such Cultivators are not many in the Cultivation World."

The young man seemed to sense something, opened his eyes, and was startled to see Wang Lin. Then, he said with surprise, "You… weren't you taken away by someone?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "They asked me some questions and let me go."

The young man looked at Wang Lin suspiciously but did not continue to ask. Everyone has their own secrets. If the other party does not want to say, asking is useless.

"You should hurry up and Cultivate. I see that your cultivation has not changed at all since you first came here. You must remember what I told you last time." The young man looked at Wang Lin seriously and added, "Diligence can make up for clumsiness!"

Wang Lin nodded, grinned, and said, "You too. Work hard at your cultivation and strive to reach Soul Transformation as soon as possible."

"Soul Transformation…" The young man shook his head bitterly and said, "I have heard the elders in the Family say that Soul Transformation has nothing to do with diligence. No matter how diligent you are, if you do not have an insight into the Heavenly Dao, you cannot become a Semi-God existence and cannot truly touch the edge of the Dao. In this life, if I can reach the Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Perfection, I will already be very content."

Wang Lin smiled slightly. At this moment, the sun was behind him, and the sunlight fell on him. This smile seemed to be stained with some sunlight.

"Keep your current state of mind; you can reach Soul Transformation."

The young man obviously thought the other party was comforting him and smiled, "Alright, if I ever reach Soul Transformation, I will definitely remember your prophecy today. Now, you should go back and Cultivate."

Wang Lin nodded with a smile, walked into the entrance, and his figure disappeared.

The young man under the mountain rock muttered to himself, "Can I really reach Soul Transformation…"

Returning to the Fang residence, Wang Lin sat cross-legged. His Immortal Qi was sufficient. If his Concept did not improve, even if he swallowed more Immortal Qi, it would be useless.

After pondering for a moment, he took out the relics of the Huan Family member that the Ran Family Old Ancestor and the other two had handed over. All the relics were placed in a Storage Pouch, which contained some clothes and trivial items.

What made Wang Lin's gaze narrow, besides the Grade 8 Medicinal Pill, were two Magic Treasures, a Jade Slip, and a token.

On these two Magic Treasures, there was no Divine Sense imprint, and there even remained a trace of resentment left behind by that Huan Family member when he died back then.

Obviously, the Ran Family Old Ancestor and the Loose Cultivator Xiaoyao who obtained these two Magic Treasures did not dare to leave their own Divine Sense on them.

One of the Magic Treasures was a black comb with nineteen teeth. It emitted a bloody smell. When it appeared in Wang Lin's hand, he immediately felt its ferocious aura.

"An attack-type Pseudo-Immortal Treasure! It even has a formation on it. The power of this Magic Treasure is extraordinary." Wang Lin touched the teeth of the comb with his finger and set his gaze on the other Magic Treasure.

This was a pair of metal-attribute fire stones. Their entire bodies were purple-gold. Floating in his palm, Wang Lin could clearly feel the waves of stinging light emanating from them.

"This…" Staring at the fire stones, Wang Lin's gaze flashed, and then a brilliant light burst out. He pinched one with his hand and rubbed them slightly against each other. Immediately, sparks like twinkling stars appeared, and a wave of heat rushed towards his face.

"A naturally formed Magic Treasure!!" Wang Lin gasped, his heart completely fixed on the pair of fire stones.

Most Magic Treasures are refined by Cultivators, but some are naturally formed. This type of Magic Treasure is too rare, even rarer than Legacy Magic Treasures.

It was only in the memories of the Ancient God Tu Si that Wang Lin learned of this type of Magic Treasure. In fact, in the eyes of the Ancient God, this did not actually count as a type of Magic Treasure, but rather as Materials for Artifact Refining.

Fire stones are one of the naturally formed Materials for Artifact Refining. They are originally metal-attribute objects, but because their hardness is extremely high, and they contain some strange Divine Abilities, when rubbed against each other, they can produce sparks.

These sparks are not used for lighting fires in Mortal households, but are a kind of metal fire, which has the same effect as the Yang fire displayed by the Tianyao Prefecture manager in the Demon Spirit Land back then. If one does not use this item for Artifact Refining, but treats it as a Magic Treasure, it can still be used, and its power is extraordinary.
