Chapter 720 (2/2)

……

At this moment,

inside the System Space, Lin Jing’s hand was grasping a piece of Jade Soul Algae that was slowly changing color from deep green to light green.

In just a short moment, the Jade Soul Algae had completely died, no longer moving, and the entire piece had turned a lush green.

After the Jade Soul Algae had completely changed, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Lin Jing’s mouth, and then he stored it away.

Three months had passed since the departure of the black-robed elder.

During those three months, including the one just now, Lin Jing had captured a total of twenty-three pieces of Jade Soul Algae.

Twenty-three pieces of Jade Soul Algae could be described as a bountiful harvest.

That was much more than the black-robed elder had captured.

Actually,

at the beginning, Lin Jing was not as proficient as he was now, and he had failed several times along the way.

After all, just observing the black-robed elder capturing the Jade Soul Algae had only taught him some tricks, but when it actually came to doing it himself, it proved somewhat different.

Although he had the System Space’s help, he was still not familiar enough, and the success rate of his captures was not very high.

It was after several consecutive failures that Lin Jing slowly became familiar with the capturing method he just used.

Now, Lin Jing’s success rate when using this method was much higher.

Now, when encountering Jade Soul Algae, Lin Jing believed he had at least a ninety percent chance of capturing it whenever he tried.

……

Twenty-three pieces of Jade Soul Algae were more than enough for his cultivation of the Dao Transformation Divinity Technique’s Spirit Division Technique.

After giving it some thought, Lin Jing decided to return for the time being.

He planned to first achieve success in cultivating the Spirit Division Technique of the Dao Transformation Divinity Technique and then try to probe for some information.

He wanted to find out when the Soul Tomb would appear.

By now, he had spent quite a bit of time in the Water Element Realm, and he felt that it was time to figure out a way to leave.

Actually,

during this time, Lin Jing had also been thinking about Changyun Yuanlei.

Not only did Changyun Yuanlei share a bond with him, but his sister was also in a special relationship with Lu Youjiu.

And given Lu Youjiu’s relationship with Lin Jing, it stood to reason that Lin Jing naturally wanted to take Changyun Yuanlei with him when leaving.

However, even with a Five Elements Command Token at hand, only one person could leave at a time.

Otherwise, leaving this place would be impossible.

And if he wanted to take Changyun Yuanlei with him, Lin Jing would have to get him a Five Elements Command Token as well.

However,

that plan was extremely difficult to realize.

Not to mention that of the few people who had entered this time, aside from his allies, the other two, Li Mingwu and Dragon Daoist, were not pushovers.

The Five Elements Command Tokens on anyone of them were not easily obtained.

Besides, the Five Elements Command Tokens could not be exposed in the Water Element Realm.

If exposed, they could potentially attract the covetousness of other cultivators, since these were indeed the only means of departure.

Thinking of this, Lin Jing’s thoughts turned to the Yan Family Ancestor.

The Yan Family Ancestor had mentioned before that his exposure along with Bai Yi seemed quite urgent at the time of his last instructions.

The Yan Family Ancestor did not leave any other particular instructions.

What exactly did that exposure entail?

Was it a complete exposure, revealing all their secrets?

Or was only a portion exposed?

Lin Jing figured that if it was a complete exposure,

the Two Supreme Beings of the Sea Heart would definitely not sit idly by upon knowing the method of departure.

They would surely come to search for Lin Jing and the others personally.

In that case, even staying on Lost Soul Island might not be safe.

Lin Jing favored the idea that the Yan Family Ancestor and the others were probably only partially exposed.

As for the specifics, that would have to wait until he saw the Yan Family Ancestor again.

After returning this time, it seemed Lin Jing also needed to carefully probe for news about the Yan Family Ancestor, as well as Bai Yi.

…

…

Just as when he had entered this place, Lin Jing used Fixed Point Teleportation to cross the fog wall and reappeared outside.

This time, Lin Jing had originally thought he would only stay a few days before returning.

Unexpectedly, he had ended up spending more than two months.

He didn’t know how Changyun Yuanlei was doing now.

As he pondered, Lin Jing summoned his Flying Boat and headed towards Lost Soul Island.

After a day’s flight, Lin Jing returned to Lost Soul Island once more.

Back on Lost Soul Island, Lin Jing immediately went to the dwelling they had previously set up.

Upon reaching the dwelling, Lin Jing did not find Changyun Yuanlei; he didn’t know where he had gone.

This place was not like Fortune Island; the surroundings of Lost Soul Island were still very dangerous.

Especially with his inherently unlucky constitution, Lin Jing couldn’t help but worry…

Subsequently, Lin Jing extended his Divine Sense to search within Changyun Yuanlei’s dwelling.

After some investigation, Lin Jing found that Changyun Yuanlei had not been gone long.

This put his mind at ease.

So,

Lin Jing then returned to the dwelling to wait for Changyun Yuanlei’s return.

Several hours passed, and while Lin Jing was inside the dwelling, he sensed some movement outside, as if someone was approaching.

Consequently, Lin Jing hurried out to see what was happening.

As soon as he came out, he saw from a distance the figure of Changyun Yuanlei.

On Changyun Yuanlei’s back, there was someone being carried.

This person’s head was drooping, seemingly in a state of unconsciousness, making it impossible to see his face.

However, Lin Jing was very familiar with the person’s attire.

It was exactly the dress of the Yan Family Ancestor…
