第四卷 七星岛 第七百四十三章 林轩设圈套

This woman was around twenty-five to twenty-six years old, tall and slender. Although her appearance wasn't particularly striking, she exuded a natural allure wherever she stood.

Every move she made was filled with charm, indicating that she had mastered some extremely refined cultivation techniques.

Her attire was also very daring, revealing long smooth legs and arms. Her skin was exceptionally fair, like fine white jade.

Seeing this woman, the condensation core stage cultivator's face changed dramatically as she quickly stood up and bowed gracefully.

"Salutations to my revered master."

"Go down!" The Black Mamba Lady waved her hand dismissively.

"Yes!"

The condensation core stage woman nodded, held her breath, and withdrew silently.

Lin Xuan also remained expressionless. A hint of a smile appeared on his lips as he gave the other party a slight bow. "Since our last meeting at Immortal Mountain, your grace has only grown more radiant. Pupil here pays respects."

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Lin need not be so formal. Please take a seat," the Black Mamba Lady said with a calm expression, showing great respect to others.

However, the more she did this, the higher Lin Xuan's vigilance rose in his heart. As the saying goes, when someone acts friendly without reason, they are either a villain or a thief. This woman was not an ordinary cultivator; there must be many hidden reasons behind her sudden change of attitude...

Of course, on the surface, Lin Xuan did not show any signs of abnormality, maintaining a look of being overwhelmed with gratitude.

The two chatted idly for a while before slowly getting to the point.

"On that day at Immortal Mountain, I was fortunate enough to receive your grace and revealed the news about the divine beast Qilin to you. However, I've always been puzzled. If you had such an opportunity, why didn't you go to retrieve the treasure yourself? Instead, you were so generous as to share this secret with me."

"Humph! If I could have retrieved the treasure alone, would I be so generous?" The Black Mamba Lady sighed and revealed a bitter smile.

"Oh, so you're saying that the Qilin has already ascended to the spirit realm long ago, leaving behind only an abandoned cave? Is there any powerful禁制 left?" Lin Xuan scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"Indeed. The Qilin ascended to the spirit realm many tens of thousands of years ago. However, the禁制 in front of its cave is still formidable. To break it, not only do you need three core婴 cultivators working together, but there are also special requirements."

"Special requirements! Could they be related to me?" Lin Xuan's expression changed as he said this.

"Yes, I asked Fellow Daoist whether you were a cultivator from the mortal world," the Black Mamba Lady replied.

"Oh, I remember clearly. I told your grace that I was just fortunate enough to be drawn in by a spatial rift."

"That’s right. To break the禁制, besides needing three core婴 cultivators working together, we also need one condensation core stage cultivator who can provide pure yang spirit energy," the Black Mamba Lady explained.

"So, I see." Lin Xuan nodded.

Although there were many sects in cultivation, different cultivation methods produced spirits with different attributes.

The orthodox path was yang, while the evil path was yin. As for demons and beasts, they naturally had demonic spirit energy running through their bodies.

Finding a condensation core stage cultivator from the orthodox path would be easy on the mortal world, but on Demon Spirit Island, it became extremely rare.

Those who moved here were all demon beast cultivators.

Although there were occasional spatial rifts connecting this island to the mortal world over time, they lasted only briefly, and it was uncertain whether any cultivators would be drawn in.

Moreover, the spatial rifts were incredibly dangerous; most who entered did not survive.

Thus, finding a condensation core stage cultivator who practiced daoist true techniques on Demon Spirit Island was no easy task.

No wonder the Black Mamba Lady treated him so politely.

Lin Xuan's thoughts raced for a moment before he understood the situation clearly.

"Your grace, I have one question."

"Speak," this demoness seemed quite relaxed.

"Why would the Qilin's cave require daoist yang spirit energy to break the禁制? After all, it is also part of the demonic race," Lin Xuan asked.

"I don't know about that." The Black Mamba Lady frowned. "But rest assured, I spent years researching this and consulted countless ancient texts. There will be no mistakes."

"Even if we find the treasure, as a mere condensation core stage cultivator, your grace might abandon me once you have what you want. I wouldn't have any means to protect myself." Lin Xuan's face showed some fear.

"Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist. I can swear an oath on my heart demon not to do anything like that," the Black Mamba Lady said with a sincere expression, showing no sign of anger.

Heart demon oath? For ordinary cultivators, I would indeed trust you, but your cultivation is astonishing; a daoist true technique heart demon oath might have little effect on such an advanced core婴 cultivator." Lin Xuan did not give up and shook his head firmly.

"Then what do you suggest?" A hint of anger flashed in the Black Mamba Lady's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it as if thinking of something.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured. I am no ungrateful person. Even if we find the treasure, I will only take a small share and not make any unreasonable demands. This is just to protect myself," Lin Xuan sighed, showing some fear.

"Never mind, you don’t need to explain. I’m not unreasonable either. Understand that as a condensation core stage cultivator, you have some reservations about working with me. Tell me what it takes for you to trust and follow me into the Qilin’s cave to break its禁制."

"I thank your grace for being so understanding. Pupil here will be bold." Lin Xuan extended his hand and tapped his storage bag, revealing a black and shiny token in his palm.

After some hesitation, he said, "Please place one soul and one spirit into this divine seal card temporarily. I...”

"What audacity! You dare to use the divine seal technique on me!"

Before Lin Xuan could finish speaking, the Black Mamba Lady was already furious, her expression turning stern as a terrifying spiritual pressure burst forth.

Lin Xuan naturally didn’t care, but he pretended to look panicked for a show. If he didn't appear weak, how could this demoness willingly fall into his trap?

"Your grace, please calm down and listen to me explain. I wouldn’t dare treat you rudely. This suggestion is out of necessity."

"Alright, let’s hear what nonsense you can come up with. If it doesn’t satisfy me, don’t blame me for turning against you," the Black Mamba Lady's expression remained cold.

It was no wonder she was angry; the divine seal technique was notorious in the cultivation world and often used by high-ranking cultivators to place禁制 on their enemies. Yet this young man, just a condensation core stage cultivator, wanted to bind an advanced core婴 like himself.

Was he mad? The Black Mamba Lady was both angry and couldn’t help but laugh at him.
