Chapter 708 (2/2)

“Great, now I go out to sea, run into that damned Flood Dragon, and can’t even get back to Fortune Island.”

“Am I really going to be stranded to such a plight?”

“Forever lost in this Sea of Strange until my Spiritual Power runs out?”

As he spoke, the youthful cultivator furrowed his brows even tighter, his face slightly twitching:

“Hiss…”

“Just thinking about the potential misfortunes I might encounter makes my teeth ache!”

…

Not just the young cultivator,

Even Lin Jing felt a shiver down his spine after hearing this.

This truly was too much bad luck.

This youth, just as he had said earlier, seemed to be a son of the Changyun Clan.

The Jade Pendant he had taken out was also seen by Lin Jing.

Indeed, it was engraved with the word “Changyun,” which Lin Jing was extremely familiar with, since it was exactly the miniature version of the characters found on the signboard of the Changyun Pill Pavilion in Bihai City.

The Changyun Clan, being the only Ancient Alchemy Family currently in the Demonic Monster Sea, naturally had extraordinary strength.

However.

Before Lin Jing entered the Five Elements Ruins, it was said that the Changyun Clan had already encountered some troubles, and several members of the Changyun Clan from the Bihai Changyun Pill Pavilion had been recalled.

Now this son of the Changyun Clan was unexpectedly caught up in the fog of the Sea of Strange…

Lin Jing couldn’t help but think of the Lin Family’s past encounters.

Lin Jing had once investigated the affairs of the Lin Family.

Through his investigations, Lin Jing learned that in the final stages of the Lin Family, the whole family was incredibly unlucky.

Whether it was the top cultivators of the older generation or the younger members of the family, in a mere few hundred years, they either suffered various accidents or received direct Heavenly Divine Punishment.

Because of that series of unfortunate events, the Lin Family’s strength was greatly weakened, leading to their complete decline.

Even Lin Jing’s Lin Alchemy Dao was obtained from Immortal Crossing Island.

What place was Immortal Crossing Island?

It was a death zone!

Apart from Lin Jing, who had the System, no one could escape from it.

But the latter half of the Lin Alchemy Dao ended up on Immortal Crossing Island, of all places.

Now.

The Yun Family also appeared to be experiencing similar events.

One can imagine a top-tier son of an Ancient Alchemy Family unexpectedly swept into such a desperate place; there’s no other explanation than fate’s design.

Unless, he was truly that unlucky.

…

While Lin Jing was pondering these series of events, the young cultivator spoke up again, but what he said next left Lin Jing completely stunned.

The young cultivator frowned for a moment, then muttered to himself:

“Could it be that my family is also preparing to concoct that Elixir Medicine?”

“My great-grandfather did say that the Lin Family incurred the wrath of the heavens by refining that Elixir Medicine, thus bringing down the Divine Punishment.”

“It was because of this that the entire Lin Family was plagued with accidents and ultimately plunged into ruin.”

“Could it be that those elders in my family really want to refine that Elixir Medicine?”

“Is that why I am so unlucky?”

…

…

The true secret behind the Lin Family’s downfall had always been under Lin Jing’s investigation; although he had uncovered the Heavenly Divine Punishment, he had never discovered the secrets behind it.

And yet, this young cultivator seemed to know something.

“Elixir Medicine?”

“What kind of Elixir Medicine could provoke the heavens and bring down divine punishment?”

“Even causing an Ancient Alchemy Family to head towards destruction.”

Lin Jing did not know.

If he wanted to find out, he would have to start with this son of the Changyun Clan.

Rescuing this son of the Changyun Clan was imperative for Lin Jing.

Afterward.

Lin Jing immediately exited Observation Mode and left the System Space.

Once he left the System Space, Lin Jing didn’t steer the Flying Boat anymore.

Instead, he flew directly along the course he had originally set, heading towards Fortune Island.

Lin Jing was not far from the son of the Changyun Clan if it were the outside world, both could have sensed each other’s presence through their Divine Sense.

But in this place.

Even the slight disturbance of Lin Jing’s flight did not alarm the Changyun Clan’s young master.

At that moment.

Another exclamation came from ahead:

“Damn it, not again…”

“Just as I grumble a bit, another Demonic Beast shows up.”

“I…

Why am I so jinxed…”
