Chapter 714: Chapter 313: Lost Soul Island_2 Chapter 714: Chapter 313: Lost Soul Island_2 …
The distance from Fortune Island to Lost Soul Island was not short.
Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei, riding the Flying Boat, had been flying continuously for over a month before finally arriving near Lost Soul Island.
During this time spent together, Lin Jing and Changyun Yuanlei had become much more familiar with each other.
The first time Lin Jing met Changyun Yuanlei, he overheard something that made him aware that there were hidden facts behind the downfall of the Lin Family.
This matter had been on his mind ever since.
On their journey, Lin Jing subtly probed for more information about the Lin Family.
However, to Lin Jing’s disappointment,
although Changyun Yuanlei knew some things, his knowledge wasn’t extensive; even what he had heard was mere fragments.
Take the “Elixir Medicine” Changyun Yuanlei mentioned before, for instance.
Once, during casual conversation with Changyun Yuanlei, the topic strayed toward Elixir Medicine, and Changyun Yuanlei, without any guard against Lin Jing,
spoke openly about it.
That “Elixir Medicine” existed in legends.
Aside from the leaders of the top forces and the peak cultivators,

The function of the Elixir Medicine was equally mysterious.
Changyun Yuanlei mentioned that the downfall of the Lin Family was related to that Elixir Medicine because he had overheard the elders in his family discussing it.
Though it was merely their speculation.
Being from an Ancient Alchemy Family themselves, the Changyun Clan was extremely concerned about the unexplained downfall of the Lin Family.
Even if it was speculation, it was probably based on some evidence they had grasped, not sheer conjecture.
Which meant that before the fall of the Lin Family,
they indeed had refined the legendary Elixir Medicine, and after the refinement, the Lin Family collapsed.
As for what that Elixir Medicine was or whether it had been successfully refined?
Changyun Yuanlei had no idea.
He wasn’t even sure whether the Lin Family had been destroyed because of that Elixir Medicine.
He had only heard that after the Lin Family finished refining the Elixir Medicine, they indeed faced divine retribution, and then the family rapidly declined until they were completely annihilated.
This was known by many powers in the Inner Sea.
It was no secret at all.
Hence, after encountering a series of unfortunate events, Changyun Yuanlei speculated whether his own family was secretly refining that Elixir Medicine.
That could be why they faced divine retribution, causing him such bad luck.
Moreover,
although Changyun Yuanlei seldom went out and was hardly involved in family affairs, he was still somewhat informed about his family’s situation.
Especially before he was involved in the Sea of Strange, it seemed some odd things had already started happening in his family.
But at that time, in order to comprehend the Alchemy Dao, he was wholly focused on Alchemy and did not pay attention to the occurrences within his family.
Changyun Yuanlei, a young master of the Changyun Clan, rarely made public appearances, spending most of his time honing the Alchemy Techniques within his family, as arranged by them.
The reason for this was that Changyun Yuanlei had an exceptional alchemic talent, a once-in-a-millennium kind of genius on the Alchemy Dao.
Under the unrestrained nurturing of his family, Changyun Yuanlei, at a young age, was already a Sixth Grade Alchemist.
His speed of advancement in the Alchemy Dao was unmatched in the entire Demonic Monster Sea and was even much faster than Lin Jing’s.
Of course,
an important reason he was able to advance so quickly was the unstinted nurturing provided by the Changyun Clan.
…
Although somewhat disappointed by this outcome, Lin Jing felt it was somewhat expected.
After all, the destruction of the Lin Family happened ten thousand years ago, which was far too distant.

Even if there were hidden facts involved, it was not something that Changyun Yuanlei could know.
It seemed that to understand the hidden circumstances of the Lin Family’s destruction, he would have to conduct his own investigation.
Honestly, regarding divine retribution,
as someone who had transmigrated, Lin Jing always had his doubts.
Although this was the Cultivation World, anything abnormal was a sign of trouble.
If a top-ranked family was destroyed by divine retribution due to just one Elixir Medicine, Lin Jing certainly didn’t believe it.
If he became powerful enough, Lin Jing would definitely investigate the matter.
For now, of course, it was better to keep a low profile and focus on increasing his own strength.
…
Half a day later, Lin Jing finally arrived at an island made entirely of pitch-black rocks.
This was Lost Soul Island.
Upon reaching the island, Changyun Yuanlei led Lin Jing straight into the interior of Lost Soul Island.
Having returned to Lost Soul Island, Changyun Yuanlei knew the way well.
He led Lin Jing through the island and said,
“Big brother!”
“Lost Soul Island is somewhat different from the other islands.”
“Although it covers a large area, there is no Immortal City here, nor a manager.”
“There’s only a market similar to Fang Market in the middle of the island.
If you have anything you want to buy or any information you want to inquire about, you can go there.”
“And one more thing, you need to be aware of.”
“Near Lost Soul Island, grey fog sometimes appears.
