Chapter 497: Chapter 193: The Purpose of Regional Division
Following that, Lin Jing walked into Yue Tian Hall together with Xue Yilin.
The interior of Yue Tian Hall was equally dignified.
At the very back of Yue Tian Hall, there stood a young man around thirty, with a handsome face.
There was actually something astonishing about this person, his eyes calm, and his gaze piercing as if tangible, directed at Lin Jing and his company.
Lin Jing even had the feeling as if this person could see right through him.
At this moment, Xue Yilin stepped forward, clasped his hands towards the man, and said,
“Island Master…”
“This is Lin Daoyou from Li Yan Island.”
By then, Lin Jing knew who the man before him was; he was the current Island Master of Yue Tian Island, the Divine Transformation Cultivator Bai Yi.
In the presence of a Divinity Transformation Cultivator, Lin Jing naturally didn’t dare to act carelessly, so he also followed Xue Yilin’s lead and clasped his hands towards Bai Yi, saying,
“I am Lin Jing, and I have had the honor of meeting Lord Bai.”
Bai Yi looked down at Lin Jing, and then with a smile on his face, he said,
“Island Master Lin is far too courteous.”
“I must apologize for not informing you in advance and suddenly requesting your presence, I hope you do not take offense.”
Lin Jing then spoke,
“Lord Bai jests…”
“If Lord Bai has summoned me here, there must certainly be a pressing matter.”
Bai Yi nodded and said,
“Indeed…”
“I have come to seek your help with a certain matter.”
“Xue Yilin, explain it to him.”
Xue Yilin nodded and said,
“Yes, Island Master.”
Then, turning to Lin Jing, Xue Yilin said,
“Lin Daoyou, we would like you to use the Five Elements Divine Art to help us open a cavern.”
“Moreover, this cavern has something to do with the previous Island Master of Yue Tian Island, Li Mingwu.”
“Li Mingwu?” Lin Jing asked, puzzled, and then continued, “Wasn’t it said that he had vanished hundreds of years ago and is now presumed dead?”
Xue Yilin shook his head and replied,
“Previously…”
“We indeed thought that Li Mingwu had died.”
“You must have heard about the incident with the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm not too long ago.”
“A mysterious Divine Transformation Cultivator used the Devouring Spirit Blood Realm in an attempt to refine a thousand Golden Core Cultivators to assist his breakthrough and reach beyond the realm of Divinity Transformation.”
Lin Jing then looked at Xue Yilin and asked,
“Xue Daoyou, are you saying that this mysterious Divine Transformation Cultivator is none other than Li Mingwu?”
Xue Yilin nodded and said,
“Indeed, as you have guessed, Lin Daoyou, that mysterious cultivator is Li Mingwu.”
Upon hearing Xue Yilin’s confirmation,
Lin Jing was utterly shocked; he could hardly believe that the withered old man he had seen through Observation Mode before was actually Li Mingwu.
This was truly beyond belief.
Previously, Lin Jing had made specific inquiries from various sources and the information he got was that Li Mingwu had disappeared when his lifespan was nearing its end.
Now, hundreds of years later, it was feared that he had long since turned to dust.
Yet, unexpectedly, he was still alive.
Afterward, Lin Jing spoke, asking Xue Yilin,
“Xue Daoyou, has this been confirmed?”
Xue Yilin nodded and said,
“Lord Bai had hypothesized that Li Mingwu might have taken the Longevity Life-Extension Elixir, which is why he has not reached the end of his lifespan after all these years.”
“The Longevity Life-Extension Elixir?” Lin Jing asked, puzzled, and then continued, “I have heard of Lifespan Extension Pills, but never the Longevity Life-Extension Elixir.”
Xue Yilin spoke,
