Chapter 887 (2/2)

“The old toad has always been rather solitary and hasn’t had many friends, and the recent conflicts in the Inner Sea have led to some complications, which is why acquiring the Five Elements True Spirits has become not so easy.”

“Is that so…”

After listening to the Yan Family’s Elder’s explanation, Lin Jing suddenly understood.

Subsequently,

Lin Jing promptly agreed to help Divine Toad with the matter of the Five Elements True Spirits.

The task wasn’t difficult, as Lin Jing already possessed the Metallic Attribute Five Elements True Spirit, and he could simply find a suitable time to exchange it with Divine Toad.

In fact, if it weren’t that the Metallic Attribute Five Elements True Spirit was currently in the System Space, Lin Jing could have taken it out right then and given it to Divine Toad.

However, exposing the System Space arbitrarily wasn’t a wise move.

Since he had the Metallic Attribute Five Elements True Spirit, it would be hard to explain why he suddenly brought it out without reason; it was better to wait for some time.

Upon receiving Lin Jing’s definite answer, the Divine Toad also quickly expressed his gratitude.

After discussing and resolving the matter for Divine Toad, Lin Jing turned his head and looked toward Zhang Jian.

Ever since he met Zhang Jian for the first time during Li Tanyu’s Tribulation, Lin Jing had been paying attention to him.

The reason for noticing Zhang Jian was simple.

Zhang Jian’s cultivation progress was unusually slow.

He, Lin Jing, had been away for so long, and yet Zhang Jian had only reached the mid-stage of Nascent Soul, and he was only at the fourth layer, having just entered the mid-stage.

Under Lin Jing’s observation, Zhang Jian’s internal condition was completely transparent and thoroughly understood by Lin Jing.

Lin Jing just needed a simple glance to know that Zhang Jian was definitely being lazy and not cultivating diligently.

His attitude was typical of someone who loved to play, a carefree mindset.

Regarding cultivation, he was somewhat dedicated, but not significantly; most of the time, he focused his attention on the maids he had adopted.

Otherwise, with the islands he owned, the abundant cultivation resources available, and even having been given Cleansing Spirit Elixirs by Lin Jing himself,

So much time having passed, there was no way his cultivation should have been merely this.

If this was the case, it was definitely because he was being lazy and not cultivating properly.

When Zhang Jian saw Lin Jing looking at him, he always felt like Lin Jing could see right through him, which gave him a bit of a chill down his spine.

However…

Knowing Lin Jing would not harm him, Zhang Jian did not dwell on it; he was just a bit bewildered, not understanding what Lin Jing meant.

Thus, Zhang Jian directly spoke up, asking Lin Jing,

“Brother Lin, what’s the matter?”

“Is there something?”

After observing Zhang Jian for a while, the corners of Lin Jing’s mouth slightly lifted as he spoke,

“Your progress in cultivation is quite slow.”

“When I find some time, I’ll think of a way to maybe give you some special training to help improve your cultivation.”

“To help improve my cultivation?”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian became immediately delighted.

However, soon after, Zhang Jian seemed to recall something, his heart skipping a beat with a sudden bad premonition.

Then, Zhang Jian quickly looked at Lin Jing and cautiously asked,

“Why do I suddenly have this bad feeling, Brother Lin, what exactly is this ‘special training’?”

Lin Jing didn’t hide anything and directly said,

“It is like the special training that Yan Wanfei often went through.

I’ve found this kind of training to be surprisingly effective; maybe you could give it a try.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian’s expression drastically changed and he frantically waved his hands, saying,

“No…

no need…”

“I’m not a Body Refinement Cultivator, let’s skip that kind of training; I’ll just go back and cultivate diligently.

Brother Lin, no need to trouble yourself for me, I can manage it on my own.”

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but chuckle…

…

…

Not much later, both the Yan Family’s Elder and Divine Toad took their leave.

Seeing this, Zhang Jian also hurriedly bade farewell to Lin Jing and left the place.

Fearing that Lin Jing would keep him for “special training.”

Luckily, Lin Jing had just returned and had some tasks to take care of, and thus could not spare much time for his “special training.”

So, he was let off…
