第三千六百四十七章 雨岚商盟

Initially, there was an agreement. In the next hundred thousand years, she would follow Lin Xuan and provide him with assistance. As a reward, he would cultivate to comprehend time laws while Lin Xuan should make his best efforts to assist her.

A century passed quickly.

Lin Xuan did not break his word. He was originally a man of his word as an cultivator. Moreover, Butterfly's strength had improved, which benefited him in every way.

Unfortunately, both the master and servant underestimated the Time Law.

Even with Lin Xuan's full support, there were only a few things he could help Butterfly achieve. Without any leads to speak of, comprehending time power required more than just seclusion.

It was time to leave.

Traveling would be necessary to find opportunities that might break through this predicament.

Lin Xuan and Butterfly agreed without hesitation. Moonling would have no objections either.

Of course, Lin Xuan did not plan to leave immediately. Although the Vexing Pavilion had taken shape, it could face various difficulties with him absent from its headquarters.

Thus, over the next month, Lin Xuan began his preparations. Various arrays were necessary.

Additionally, he prepared some backup plans for the Vexing Pavilion. As long as they did not encounter overly formidable enemies, self-preservation should be manageable.

...

In this manner, a month passed quickly.

One morning, a green light emerged from Thousand Shadow Mountain and flew southward.

Lin Xuan had not made much of his departure. He claimed he was secluding to cultivate secret techniques. This was normal in the cultivation world.

Given Lin Xuan's current strength, seclusion could last for millions of years. So, his absence would not raise any suspicions.

...

Over the following days, Lin Xuan traveled extensively, probing for clues about the Seven Treasures of Naraka and seeking suitable demonic cultivation techniques.

A decade passed, but he found nothing.

This sounded absurd, yet it made perfect sense when considered carefully.

The Seven Treasures of Naraka aside, finding them was akin to searching for a needle in a haystack.

With only ten years, no收获 was entirely normal.

As for the second Yin婴's cultivation technique, while easier to find on the surface, Lin Xuan's standards were so high that ordinary demonic techniques would not even catch his eye.

However, top-grade techniques were as rare as灵宝.

Regardless of sects or powerful individuals, they would not casually reveal such treasures.

Lin Xuan understood this well. With no time constraints, he was not in a hurry. Cultivation relied on opportunities, and patience was key.

...

It was an ordinary morning when a green light streaked across the sky.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a long spirit boat. Lin Xuan sat cross-legged on it.

Since there were no immediate opportunities, Lin Xuan did not need to rush his journey. He might as well enjoy the scenery and food.

On the spirit boat, he was seated cross-legged with a small table in front of him. The table held fine wine, fruits, and various dishes like sweet and sour meat, braised pig's trotters, among others, all emitting an enticing aroma. Lin Xuan was feasting happily.

Although cultivators could survive without food, delicious meals improved one's mood. During seclusion, he had no choice but to endure it, but on his travels, he would not deprive himself of good food.

Three meals a day were never missed, and snacks were consumed daily. Traveling allowed him to enjoy beautiful scenery and fine cuisine, making every moment seem like paradise.

Just as Lin Xuan was enjoying his meal, a red light suddenly flew from the distance, followed by several clouds of grayish-white energy pursuing relentlessly...

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan sighed involuntarily.

He was having a good time when such an incident occurred; it truly ruined the mood.

Lin Xuan pondered whether he should intervene. A loud shout echoed in his ears: "Senior Lin, who once displayed great prowess in Leaffall City, is this you? I am here on orders to seek you out. Unfortunately, we encountered a demon beast. Please assist me, as I have urgent matters to convey."

"Ah?"

Lin Xuan's face showed surprise.

The other party actually recognized him?

And he claimed there was an urgent matter?

Lin Xuan's expression turned contemplative.

After some thought, Lin Xuan cast a spell towards the spirit boat and changed direction. He wanted to see what this person had to say.

With his thoughts settled, Lin Xuan slightly extended his divine sense.

The scene in front became clear.

Inside the green light was a slender man.

His appearance was unremarkable, but his strength should not be underestimated; he was an Inner Profound cultivator.

Behind him were several bizarre-looking demon creatures. Lin Xuan's gaze turned grim as these demons exhibited intense madness and emitted faint traces of demonic energy.

Exiles from the Outer World!

These demons had clearly lost their nature due to the influence of demonic energy.

Lin Xuan sighed. Over the years, he had found no trace of Qian Yan; what was she secretly scheming?

This thought flashed through his mind but quickly faded as irrelevant.

There were priorities. Thinking about this now would be meaningless.

Lin Xuan raised his right hand and cast a spell forward. A fierce wind arose as several sword lights appeared mysteriously.

In the blink of an eye, he eliminated the demon creatures in the grayish-white clouds.

The slender man's face lit up with joy. Although he knew Senior Lin possessed formidable abilities, seeing was better than hearing about it.

"Thank you for your assistance; otherwise, I would have fallen prey to these demon beasts." He stopped his flight and bowed respectfully towards Lin Xuan, showing utmost respect.

"Who are you? Why do you recognize me, and what urgent matter do you wish to convey? Is this true?" Lin Xuan asked coldly.

"Do not worry, Senior. I dare not deceive you; my surname is Yu, and I am a disciple of the Rain Mist Commerce Alliance." The slender man panted as he spoke.

"What, Rain Mist Commerce Alliance?"

Lin Xuan's face showed surprise.

He had heard this name before. When he went to the Netherworld to look for Moonling, they had interacted with them.

In the Netherworld, their strength was formidable, and in the Spirit Realm, there existed a Rain Mist Commerce Alliance. Although not a sect or family, its power rivaled any renowned sect.
