Chapter 630 (1/2)
Chapter 630: Chapter 266 Travel Chapter 630: Chapter 266 Travel Facing Steward Cheng’s concern, Lin Jing felt moved yet somewhat helpless.
But he couldn’t outright say that the “Demon Cultivator” he spoke of was actually himself, so he could only respond:
“Steward Cheng, do not worry, I cannot stay here much longer, and I will be leaving soon.”
“As for yourself, always being here in Tianxin City, you must be careful in everything.”
Steward Cheng then laughed and said:
“You need not worry about me…”
“The two important figures from the Western Demon Region should be arriving soon…”
“By then, with both of them here, I believe that the Demon Cultivator won’t be able to stir up any major trouble.”
Seeing Steward Cheng’s confident demeanor, Lin Jing’s mouth twitched, and he could only nod along in agreement…
This meeting with Steward Cheng, Lin Jing talked with him for a long time.

Throughout the meeting, Lin Jing did not reveal his true cultivation level and only presented himself as a Golden Core Cultivator.
Yet, even just as a Golden Core Cultivator, he already astonished Steward Cheng.
A Golden Core Cultivator, in Tianxin City, was already among the elite, and Lin Jing had reached this stage in just a few decades.

It is known, even with the help of the Yiyun Pavilion, it took Steward Cheng over a hundred years to advance to the Golden Core stage.
In the end…
It was only as the day began to darken that Steward Cheng had to attend to some matters, and their conversation had to end.
The next day, after discussing with Shi San, Lin Jing prepared to leave.
Afterward, Lin Jing took Shi San to bid farewell to Steward Cheng, and following their goodbyes, the two left Tianxin City.
After leaving Tianxin City, Lin Jing started touring the Nanming Domain with Shi San.
During this time, Lin Jing sealed his cultivation and even hid his Divine Sense, appearing like an ordinary person as he toured with Shi San.
Sometimes they would be in a bustling Immortal City…
Sometimes in a lush forest…
And sometimes, even on the precipice of perilous peaks…
Their footsteps were left in countless places.
Following Lin Jing around, Shi San had not a word of complaint and was even quite thrilled.
After touring for a long time, the two traveled through many places.
Shi San’s knowledge grew as he experienced many strange and wonderful things.
Initially, Shi San admired the lifestyle of Cultivators very much, but as they continued their travels…
The two visited Immortal City after Immortal City, witnessing much deceit and calculation among Cultivators, and the maneuvering among Cultivator Families…
Gradually, Shi San came to a realization: Cultivators and ordinary people are not so different after all.
Initially, Shi San had some reservations about being unable to cultivate, but after seeing all this, he gradually let go…
During this time, as they passed through Immortal Cities, they occasionally heard some news.
It was about the patriarch of the Nanming Immortal Sect and the Demon Cultivator…
The news of the patriarch of the Nanming Immortal Sect falling spread, eventually causing a significant uproar.
As for the Demon Cultivator, he disappeared without a trace.
They did not find out it was Lin Jing.
Of course, during this time, there were people searching for Lin Jing.
The one searching for Lin Jing was naturally Ye Yun.
After the ambush, Lin Jing had Ye Yun leave first, and later, when he was being hunted by the patriarch of the Nanming Immortal Sect, he sent a message, advising Ye Yun and Li Qingqing to take the entire Li Family away from the Nanming Domain and return to Li Yan Island.
However, after they returned, they did not see Lin Jing come back for a long time, so Ye Yun, worried, went out again to search for Lin Jing.
Upon learning that Ye Yun was searching for him, Lin Jing met with Ye Yun and gave him some instructions, then sent him back.
Ye Yun left following Lin Jing’s directions, and Lin Jing then set out on the road again.
Time flew by quickly, and five years soon passed.
In five years, Lin Jing and Shi San had toured the entire Nanming Domain.
Shi San had grown from a youth into a full-grown man.
As for Lin Jing, he seemed to have forgotten his identity as a Cultivator, traveling over mountains and rivers, traversing deserts with Shi San, visiting numerous places…
During this time, Shi San’s demeanor continuously changed while Lin Jing appeared to fully integrate into the world, becoming a true mortal.
After finishing their tour of the Nanming Domain, perhaps accustomed to the mountains and rivers, Shi San started yearning for the sea…
Therefore, Lin Jing took Shi San to the seaside…
After touring the Nanming Domain, having been seasoned by rugged mountains, Shi San became even more composed, his gaze profound, his whole demeanor steady as a mountain.
Following this.
The two procured a small boat and ventured into the sea…
The sea, unlike land, contained more and more dangerous Demonic Beasts.
But it was also more fascinating…
Fortunately, Lin Jing was a Body Refinement Cultivator; even without using spells, he could face those sea Demonic Beasts without any harm.
However, the perils of the sea were not just once; there were also potential storms at any moment…
……
This time, the two toured the sea for four years.
Having been through sea storms, witnessing the vastness and unpredictability of the sea, Shi San’s character became even more resolute than ever before.
After four years of touring, the two returned to the Nanming Domain again.
In nine years, Shi San had seen the prosperity of Immortal Cities, the fickleness of human hearts…
Toured dangerous peaks, as well as deserts and plateaus…
And witnessed the vast yet fickle sea…
Shi San underwent a profound transformation deep down in his bones.
At this time.
With only one year left until the decade was up,
the two had to return earlier than planned, perhaps because the decade was nearing its end, Shi San’s body also developed some issues.
Shi San’s body started changing, becoming unusually lethargic.
Although his body had become exceptionally strong after nine years of travel, boosted by some martial techniques among mortals that Lin Jing had taught him,
Shi San’s body could even match that of a low-level Cultivator.
But that didn’t solve the problem.
Lin Jing had also used his Divine Sense to try and investigate.
Although he could detect some issues, these were beyond his ability to resolve.
In the end, the two decided to return.
