第两千二百九十八章 魔界旅游

Lin Xuan's mind was filled with doubts, but his steady personality prevented him from rashly asking questions. He sat upright and savored the fine wine and fruits, finding them exceptionally delicious; he had never tasted anything so good before.

Not only were the flavors irresistible, but the abundant spiritual energy within them far surpassed what Lin Xuan usually carried on him, though it fell short of a ten-thousand-year-old spirit milk.

Lin Xuan once again witnessed the wealth of Ji Long True Man. After all, these were just food items for sustenance and not specifically used to restore one's power.

Indeed, he was no ordinary old monster; Lin Xuan could only marvel at this in his heart. With such extensive knowledge, it seemed as if he had been living in a well and looking up at the sky, much like a frog.

Even Ji Long, who still held onto a fragment of his soul, would not let him go easily because of that Five Dragon Seal.

These thoughts made Lin Xuan's head ache. But what could he do? The grudge was already settled; wallowing in self-pity now wouldn't help. He had to be extra cautious from now on.

"Friend Lin, when we parted ways at Penglai Mountain, Ruyan was with you. How is she?" A clear voice interrupted his thoughts. Tinglou was a man of deep emotions and had always looked after Meng Ruyan due to her connection with the Ice Fairy.

"I don't know; I'm not sure," Lin Xuan shook his head and smiled.

"Really? For such an important person, it's hard to believe she would be in any danger. You needn't worry so much." Yi Long advised him.

"Yes, Sister Ruyan was once the leader of the Boundless Sea Pavilion; she has defeated countless powerful enemies. I'm sure she will be fine," Lin Xuan also smiled.

"Indeed, you both make a valid point. I've been too focused on trivial matters."

Tinglou had once been one of the top experts in the Twelve States of Heaven and Clouds, so he was not someone who could easily get attached to things. His expression brightened as he looked at Lin Xuan.

"Why are you here in this demon realm?" Tinglou asked.

"I came for a spirit-splitting pill."

There was no need to hide; Lin Xuan spoke frankly.

"Splitting pills? Why would one go to the demon realm for such a thing when it's available in the Spirit Realm?"

Lin Xuan paused, unsure how to explain. Tinglou had always been lucky and smooth sailing, so he didn't understand the struggles of others.

Lin Xuan sighed and recounted his journey, omitting some details but clearly describing the rarity of the ingredients needed for the spirit-splitting pill.

"Really? You mean you found it by chance and are now in my realm as well?" Tinglou was shocked. The importance of the splitting pill further surprised him; he realized that many powerful cultivators from famous sects had to come here to find the necessary materials.

Recalling his own need for such a pill, Lin Xuan felt embarrassed when Ji Long casually handed over a bottle full of them. But it wasn't strange since splitting pills were insignificant in the eyes of someone like Ji Long.

Thinking about it, some rare spirit pills that condensation core and infant soul cultivators longed for seemed trivial to him now.

With this thought, Lin Xuan's expression turned hopeful. If he could befriend Ji Long True Man, perhaps he could ask for a few splitting pills?

This idea was too crazy.

Splitting pills were precious treasures; how could one give them away so easily?

However, everything had its exceptions. In Ji Long's eyes, the splitting pill wasn't significant, and if he got in a good mood, he might just hand over a few.

Lin Xuan swallowed hard as Ji Long's voice interrupted his thoughts: "Young friend Lin, you came here to find materials for spirit-splitting pills. Very well, we are fate-bound. You have some connection with my brother Tinglou, so I'll give this to you."

"What? !" Lin Xuan was stunned before he expressed great joy.

Ji Long's generosity knew no bounds; while Lin Xuan was thinking of how to ask for the treasure, Ji Long had already offered it.

Lin Xuan should have politely declined, but he didn't. First, splitting pills were what he had been dreaming of and risking his life for. Second, Ji Long seemed like a generous person, and pretending to decline would only make him unhappy if he got angry and refused to give them.

Ji Long's sleeve flapped, and an jade bottle flew out. Lin Xuan quickly caught it.

"Splitting pills; I don't need many so here are five. You should be able to use them unless you're extremely unlucky."

"Thank you, True Man. I will repay your kindness one day," Lin Xuan said earnestly, his words not empty promises but a promise he would keep.

Ji Long smiled without speaking, dismissing the words of a minor Daoist from the Profound Realm as trivial.

"Why are you here in the demon realm? What about you two?" Lin Xuan asked.

"What...?" Tinglou's expression was strange.

But Ji Long didn't mind: "Just traveling around; I'm looking for pretty female demons to bring back as servants."

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Lin Xuan remained calm despite his thoughts, but Ji Long's answer left him speechless.

Was he really just sightseeing in the ancient demon realm? Even a cultivator of the Transcendence Realm seemed too arrogant with such an answer.

Lin Xuan turned to Tinglou, who nodded affirmatively.

Ji Long hadn't lied; he had indeed come for a vacation. This famous playboy not only excelled in combat but was also skilled in divination, which was one of the hundred arts of cultivation, albeit a less common one.

Unlike other cultivators who used divination to serve their own paths, Ji Long used it to find beautiful female demons for his pleasure.

Recently, he had divined and found many pretty female demons in the demon realm. He had come with Tinglou on this vacation.

Tinglou was focused on achieving enlightenment, but Ji Long's boredom was understandable. Since ascending to the Spirit Realm, Ji Long had taken care of him, making a significant debt that Lin Xuan couldn't ignore. Thus, he reluctantly accompanied Ji Long on his journey.

Understanding the situation, Lin Xuan was speechless and stammered: "Even so, Ji Long Senior's status is clear; wouldn't coming here risk a war between realms?"
