第两千二百九十七章 灵眼之玉

Moreover, this was not the only thing. As Lin Xuan stepped onto the ship, he felt a磅礴的灵气 (磅礴 = magnificent; 灵气 = essence qi) that was extremely refined and pure. The effects of even top-grade spirit veins could not compare to it.

At first, Lin Xuan was somewhat puzzled, but after stepping into the cabin, he found out why.

On the walls, there were numerous precious treasures embedded. Each one, each grain, was clearly visible to Lin Xuan's eyes, and this time his mouth dropped wide open in astonishment.

Even more surprising than the Soul Nourishing Wood he had seen earlier, because these items used to decorate the walls turned out to be Spirit Eyes Jade.

"Huff! Huff!"

Lin Xuan even breathed heavily. At that moment, he felt like a beginner who just entered the cultivation world; every sight and sound was new and exciting to him.

It is well known that Spirit Eyes Jade is a rare treasure, and it can only grow in crystal stone mines. However, not all crystal stone mines have them; they require dense, refined essence qi and various coincidences before they can form.

Lin Xuan knew the effects of Spirit Eyes Jade: it was like carrying a miniature spirit vein on one's person. From a cultivation perspective, this was very practical.

Of course, such treasures were not entirely unattainable. If Lin Xuan wanted them, he could obtain them, but ordinary Spirit Eyes Jades had low quality and limited essence qi output, making their benefits minimal for cultivation.

Top-grade Spirit Eyes Jade, on the other hand, was extremely rare—essentially a priceless item. Even when they occasionally appeared in the world, they would immediately attract fierce competition from powerful factions or beings who would seize them as their own.

The Spirit Eyes Jades in this cabin were numerous. Lin Xuan saw top-grade ones among them; most were ordinary items. However, just the sheer number was already astonishing and invaluable.

More unbelievable still was that these Spirit Eyes Jades seemed to have叠加的效果 (叠加 =叠加 effect). Lin Xuan had never heard of their essence qi becoming more concentrated through叠加. Clearly, this must be the work of Nasal Dragon True Man.

How did he achieve this? Was it by using an array or talismans?

Lin Xuan didn't know. He only knew that such advanced techniques were beyond his comprehension and the gap between them was too great to bridge at present.

With a mix of trepidation, Lin Xuan followed Nasal Dragon True Man up to the top deck. The higher they went, the more concentrated the essence qi became. Even more astonishingly, the essence qi was confined within one丈 (丈 = zhang, about 3.3 meters) around the ship's hull; beyond that, it could not be detected.

"Is this a拘灵阵 (拘灵阵 = Restraining Spirit Array)?"

Lin Xuan muttered to himself as he heard his voice. He had never seen such an array before, only reading about them in ancient texts.

Legend said that such arrays could completely bind essence qi without any leakage, far more mysterious than concealment techniques.

Seeing is believing; indeed, Nasal Dragon True Man was a cultivator of the Tribulation Transcending stage—any technique he used left Lin Xuan in awe. He admired and feared him at the same time.

Yes, fear was exactly what he felt.

Lin Xuan was afraid that his secrets would be discovered!

While other things might not matter to Nasal Dragon True Man, Blue Star Sea and Five Dragons Seal were items Lin Xuan believed even he would covet. If this secret was uncovered, his life would be in grave danger.

However, at the moment, Lin Xuan knew he was a fish on a chopping block—his fate entirely dependent on Nasal Dragon True Man's whim. He had no choice but to follow him up to the top deck of the ship.

"Little fellow, what are you afraid of? Don't worry; I only have an interest in women. And since Linglou and I are brothers, you can relax."

Nasal Dragon True Man, despite his immense power, did not know Lin Xuan's thoughts as he had not used Soul Scouring techniques. Instead, he comforted him with these words, though the tone was rather unconvincing.

Lin Xuan sighed in relief; at least for now, Nasal Dragon True Man hadn't uncovered his secret. He might as well go along with it—fear would only raise suspicion.

With a deep breath, Lin Xuan calmed himself down.

Soon, they arrived at the top deck's cabin. The room was vast, about ten zhang (about 33 meters) in diameter, and extremely luxurious.

"Lo, no need to be polite."

Nasal Dragon True Man pulled out a chair while speaking. Linglou also seemed casual; over the past thousand years, he had been with Nasal Dragon True Man, as he claimed they were brothers.

Without Nasal Dragon's help, he could not have advanced so quickly.

Over these years, Counting Dragon not only supplied him with medicinal pills but often guided his cultivation. With some incredible treasures' assistance, he managed to advance in just a thousand years.

While he didn't say it out loud, Linglou was deeply grateful to Nasal Dragon True Man.

Seeing Lin Xuan's nervousness, Linglou smiled: "Lin Xuan, you don't need to be so formal. That guy, Nasal Dragon, is different from other great existences; he has no proper manners, but he's a good person."

"What do you mean by having no proper manners? I call it being charming and broad-minded," the voice of Counting Dragon True Man echoed in Lin Xuan's ears as he mocked other powerful beings.

Lin Xuan couldn't help smiling. This top-ranked playboy of the Spirit Realm was indeed interesting. He bowed: "If that's the case, then allow me to be bold."

Before his words were fully spoken, Lin Xuan sat down on the chair.

"Exactly right; young people should have courage," Counting Dragon True Man nodded with approval, showing a trace of admiration. Although Lin Xuan's strength was insignificant, at least in this aspect, he wasn't bad. A Cave Profound period cultivator would not dare sit before him even if given a second chance.

Footsteps sounded softly, and the fragrance wafted through the air. Lin Xuan turned to see two beautiful maids enter gracefully. They each carried an jade dish with fine wine and fruits.

Lin Xuan shook his head; as they say, comparing oneself to others can make one jealous. Indeed, it was true here.

When he came to the Demon Realm, that called for… saying it positively, it was being cautious; negatively, it was sneaking around. But Nasal Dragon True Man had a magnificent ship and even brought maids with him. As an old monster of Tribulation Transcending stage, who would dare challenge him?

But if he came here in such a manner, could he really be without fear of causing a war between the Spirit Realm and Demon Realm?
