第三千二百七十二章 天赐良机

No incidents occurred overnight.

The next morning, as dawn began to break, Lin Xuan set off.

Several months ago, he had visited the main hall of the Celestial Sound Sect, so he was somewhat familiar with the terrain.

However, this time, instead of entering openly, he would have to sneak in quietly, adding a layer of difficulty to his mission.

Nevertheless, Lin Xuan wasn't afraid. His current strength far surpassed what it used to be. While the Celestial Sound Sect might indeed be a den of tigers and dragons, whether they could trap him was still uncertain.

Regardless, he had to save Qinxin at all costs.

The Moon Black Sky Witch Technique originally had an effect that returned one to their true nature. By combining this with his technique for reining in his essence energy, Lin Xuan truly appeared like a common mortal, not revealing any trace of spiritual pressure. He then transformed into a faint streak of light and silently flew towards the Celestial Sound Sect.

His concealment technique was incredibly swift; before long, Zhenhuan Mountain came into view.

Although he was still over a hundred miles away, he could sense an abundance of essence energy.

No wonder the Celestial Sound Sect chose this place as their main hall. The quality of the spirit veins here was truly outstanding.

Despite having been there before, Lin Xuan couldn't help but express his admiration on his face.

The sky was clear and blue, with streaks of brilliant light occasionally passing by, giving off a vibrant atmosphere.

Wait, is there too much concealment technique being used?

Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, showing signs of contemplation. This place was merely the entrance to the sect; last time he visited, it wasn't this bustling.

Could something significant be about to happen?

With that thought, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a hint of joy. If the Celestial Sound Sect encountered any danger, he could take advantage and save Qinxin more easily.

However, soon after, he shook his head, dismissing this possibility.

The Celestial Sound Sect wasn't an ordinary sect; it ranked among the top five in the spiritual realm. There were countless experts, including several at the Transcendation stage.

Grand Elder Immortal Voice was at a late-stage Transcendation, and there was reportedly another expert of the same level within the sect.

With such a foundation, even Primordial True Demon or the Six Kings of the Netherworld would find it hard to cause any trouble unless the Three Realms War broke out.

Lin Xuan wanted to gather more information but the current situation didn't allow him to reveal himself. For now, he was caught between a rock and a hard place.

But he was no ordinary person; this problem couldn't truly stump him.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xuan found an unoccupied spot. He formed hand seals, causing his bones to crack loudly as he grew half a foot taller. A faint green light flashed across his face, changing his appearance.

He then changed into another set of clothes. With his current ability to change form and appearance, even high-stage experts might not notice him if they passed by.

With that done, Lin Xuan walked out confidently, heading towards the Celestial Sound Sect to find out what was happening.

Originally thinking it would be a difficult task, he found it much easier than expected. With minimal effort, he learned about the sect's thousand-year trading conference.

The name said it all; this event took place once every millennium. The qualifications for participation were easy enough to obtain—any cultivator above the Condensation Core stage was welcome, though they had to pay a certain amount of crystal stones as an entry fee.

The higher one’s cultivation level, the more crystal stones required, but no cultivator would miss such a grand event.

Such a gathering brought countless treasures and rarities, benefiting the Celestial Sound Sect not only through ticket sales but also by taking a cut from auctions.

Moreover, it facilitated transactions for those who had items they didn’t need and wanted to exchange for others.

It was said that during each conference, hundreds of thousands of cultivators would converge on this place from all directions.

Hundreds of thousands?

Lin Xuan was left speechless upon hearing this information. He had participated in countless exchanges since his journey into cultivation but none were as grand as this one; the difference was too stark.

Moreover, the number and quality of participants at the Celestial Sound Sect's trading conference were impressive—Condensation Core and Immortal Embryo cultivators abounded, along with experts from various stages, even some at the Transcendation stage...

Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel intrigued. However, he knew that saving Qinxin was his top priority.

With so many people coming to Zhenhuan Mountain, it would be a great opportunity for him.

Fishing in troubled waters!

Since there were so many people visiting the Celestial Sound Sect, he didn’t need to hide his tracks and could go directly.

After finding Qinxin, he would take her out without anyone noticing.

It seemed like heaven was helping him; Lin Xuan’s face showed great joy.

Such a good opportunity couldn't be missed. He appeared in full glory before flying towards the Celestial Sound Sect's entrance.

Of course, his cultivation level still needed to be concealed.

Otherwise, he might cause a stir among the Transcendation stage cultivators.

After all, this trading conference only happened once every millennium and lasted for nearly three months.

Currently, it had just opened, so lower-stage cultivators were predominant.

Lin Xuan hesitated briefly before concealing his cultivation to the Immortal Embryo stage.

High-stage cultivators, even if not at the Transcendation level, were often well-known figures. But at the Immortal Embryo stage, he blended in with ordinary passersby.

Claiming to be a wandering cultivator wouldn't raise suspicion and would easily allow him to slip through unnoticed.

Thus, his choice was well-considered.

Indeed, Lin Xuan encountered no obstacles upon entering the Celestial Sound Sect. After paying some crystal stones, he was easily admitted.

Unlike ordinary sects or families that lacked such grace, the Celestial Sound Sect wouldn't suspect any ill-intentioned cultivators from entering.

Things went smoother than expected, but Lin Xuan didn’t let his guard down.

This fortunate coincidence had indeed brought him good luck, but he couldn’t get too complacent.

After a moment’s hesitation, he first wandered through the market area. At this stage, there was no hope of finding any treasures, and that wasn't what he came for. He just wanted to ensure nobody noticed anything amiss about him.

He strolled around the market, confirming no one was following before quietly leaving. Following the information he had obtained from Soul-searching at Miao Yin’s place, he flew towards Qinxin's residence.

Seamlessly!

But was it really seamless?

In a deep valley of Zhenhuan Mountain, where essence energy was most concentrated.

This area was rarely visited by ordinary cultivators; even if the sect leaders weren't summoned, they wouldn’t dare enter. This place was the secluded abode of the Supreme Elder.

Inside one cave.

A young and beautiful woman sat cross-legged and opened her eyes with a cold smile: "What audacity! You killed Miao Yin and still dared to come to our main hall." (To be continued...)
