第三千九百六十章 得来全不费工夫

Lin Xuan savored the spirit tea fruits again, finding their taste quite delightful. Although they weren't extraordinary wonders, they were indeed rare and precious. However, as he raised his head, he noticed the elderly man across from him looking hesitant.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. "Friend, if you have something to say, just speak up. There's no need to hide or be reserved. I'm not a person who gets easily offended by words."

"Senior, your kindness is commendable, but..."

The plump elderly man relaxed his expression but still hesitated, mumbling without saying much.

"What is it? Do you doubt me, or do you think I will break my word?" Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow, showing a displeased look.

"Sr— Senior, I have no such thoughts. However..." Seeing that Lin Xuan wasn't angry, the elderly man's heart settled, but he still carefully chose his words: "I haven't seen True Immortal Feathers' appearance before, but..."

"How so?"

"I am the Great Elder of the Immortal Servant Clan, and my understanding of immortals is naturally more than that of ordinary cultivators. Since childhood, I have been familiar with immortal legends, and after comparing them, I feel that Senior does not seem like a true descending immortal."

The elderly man was already drenched in sweat by this point. Breaking one's word wasn't uncommon in the cultivation world, but he feared Lin Xuan would be furious. However, there were some things he couldn't keep to himself.

"Haha."

Lin Xuan laughed and didn't get angry or upset. Instead, a look of approval appeared on his face. "Your friend has keen eyesight. You're right. I'm not an immortal descending from the heavens. That's because several juniors had preconceived notions, and it's rare for me to explain myself."

Lin Xuan's smiling voice entered the other person's ears. It wasn't surprising that he could see through his identity; after all, he was a Golden Transformation cultivator, though in its early stages. The gap between their strengths wasn't so great as to be unrecognizable. Moreover, with his familiarity with immortals, it was only natural for him to notice some details.

"Thank you, Senior, for your honesty. I wonder what your true identity is..."

"I am a cultivator from the Spirit Realm. Knowing my specific identity wouldn't matter much."

"That's correct, but how did you come to this small Immortal Domain and what are your intentions here?" The elderly man cautiously spoke up.

"Given some opportunities, I appeared in this place. I understand your concerns about other cultivators repeating past mistakes. Too many people coming here could disturb your lives. You needn't worry too much; apart from me and the escaped Heavenly Essence Duke, no one else will appear."

With keen insight, Lin Xuan knew what the elderly man was most worried about.

"Thank you, Senior."

Hearing this, the elderly man visibly relaxed. As he said, his concern wasn't about Lin Xuan's identity but rather about the potential disruption to their peaceful lives and the possible disasters for his clan.

"So, Senior came here for..."

"Even if you don't ask, I will speak. I'm here because there is something I need your help with," Lin Xuan said thoughtfully.

"If it weren't for Senior's intervention, our clan would have been utterly destroyed. Out of gratitude and reason, we should do anything to repay the favor. However, my juniors' cultivation levels are low..."

"Don't worry; it's not as serious as that. I just need some information. If your answers satisfy me, I might consider offering you some benefits," Lin Xuan said with a pleasant smile, waving his hand nonchalantly.

Even without promising any benefits, the man in front of him wouldn't dare deceive him. But with some benefits, he would likely give more thorough and detailed answers, even about things that couldn't be openly discussed.

Details determine success or failure. Even if he couldn’t directly find Moon's clues, he should still discover many hints.

"Ah, so Senior wants to know something specific. Just ask away," the elderly man said with relief. His answer showed confidence because they had lived here for generations and were very familiar with this small Immortal Domain.

Lin Xuan was delighted by this. He flicked his sleeves, and a streak of green light appeared, transforming into an image.

Two young girls stood gracefully before him; both looked to be around ten years old, as beautiful as flowers, their faces absolutely stunning. The girl on the left was particularly breathtakingly beautiful.

Their noble demeanor also exuded a pitiable charm that tugged at one's heartstrings.

Of course, these were Moon and Little Butterfly.

Lin Xuan used his spiritual energy to project their appearances and figures so that the elderly man could recognize them clearly.

"Friend, please look. Have you ever seen these two immortals?"

Lin Xuan was confident; with Moon and Little Butterfly's appearance, as long as he had seen them once, they wouldn't be forgotten.

At the same time, Lin Xuan carefully observed the other person's expression.

While it made sense that the other person shouldn’t hide from him, one should always have some caution against others.

However, this thought was unnecessary. The elderly man only glanced at them and his expression changed: "Immortal Moon and Immortal Butterfly?"

"Oh, do you know them?"

Lin Xuan couldn't help but be delighted. He had originally thought that he might only find some vague clues here, but now it turned out the other person had actually seen them. This made things much easier.

"How so? Do you recognize these two people?"

Before the elderly man could answer, Lin Xuan anxiously asked again.

"Haha, how can I not recognize them? These immortals have great favors for our clan and even came here before," the plump elderly man smiled pleasantly.

He had been worried that Lin Xuan would ask about the Immortal Domain or Feathers' secrets like he did. But it turned out to be as simple as looking for people, so there was no need to worry.
