Chapter 651 (2/2)
Behind the elder were four others.
Among these four, Lin Jing had only met the island master of True Dragon Island; he did not recognize the others.
After the elder descended from the upstairs, he directly walked towards Lin Jing.
At this moment, Yan Ming spoke up, reminding Lin Jing:
“This is the ancestor.”
As the Yan Family ancestor approached, Yan Ming quickly bowed his hands:
“Ancestor!”
Lin Jing and Qi Yan also bowed their hands in unison:
“Elder Yan!”
“Elder Yan!”
The Yan Family ancestor nodded, then looked at Lin Jing and with a smile, said:
“I presume you must be Lin Jing?”
Lin Jing nodded and bowed:
“Yes, elder.”
The Yan Family ancestor spoke in a tone as serene as an elder of a mortal family would continue:
“Yue’er and Xing’er often mention you, so much so that my ears are almost calloused.”
“Now it appears, you truly are extraordinary.”
“So young yet with such cultivation, and also a Fifth Grade Alchemist, which is even more remarkable.”
“Elder flatters me,” Lin Jing said modestly.
The Yan Family ancestor continued:
“Thank you for the Cleansing Spirit Elixir before.”
“If you ever encounter any trouble, feel free to come to Spirit Rock Island.
I still have some influence in the Southern Outer Sea.”
What the Yan Family ancestor meant by saying this was to offer his protection.
The conversation, especially the last statement, was deliberately loud, obviously for others to hear.
With this move by the Yan Family ancestor, others glanced sideways, and the other four Divine Transformation Cultivators also looked over.
Among them was an older man, pockmarked, hunchbacked, and with bent posture, who chuckled and then spoke:
“Heh heh…”
“I say, Elder Yan, aren’t you trying to entice this talented alchemist to join the Yan Family and become an exclusive Pill Master for your family?”
The old man’s voice was hoarse, especially when he laughed, it was even more chilling.
After hearing this, the Yan Family ancestor turned back to the old man and said:
“I say Old Toad, can you not project your own ways onto others.”
“My Yan Family has always been clear about gratitude and grievances.
Have we ever mistreated anyone who has helped our family?”
“If I indeed need his help for alchemy, I will state it clearly, not resorting to any schemes, and if he is unwilling, I certainly will not force him.”
“Besides, this young man has done a great favor for my Yan Family.
We naturally will protect him from being bullied by others.”
“Even if it’s you, if you have any ideas against him, I will not hesitate to step in and give you a beating.”
