Chapter 475 - Chapter 475: Chapter 172: Spirit Rock Island (2/2)

lin jing continued on his journey.

before long, i spotted an island.

moreover, it was an inhabited one.

upon seeing this, lin jing immediately cheered up and flew straight toward the island.

however,

just as lin jing was about to approach the island, he discovered a large formation in front of him.

it turned out that the entire island was protected by a formation, and what’s more, this formation was a fifth-rank trapping and killing array.

luckily, lin jing noticed it in time and didn’t step into it.

nonetheless,

lin jing’s sudden arrival had still triggered the formation, which emitted a dazzling white light.

and at that moment, a deep and rich voice came through:

“who dares to forcefully intrude upon spirit rock island?”

accompanying the voice was a middle-aged cultivator.

this middle-aged man had a jade-like complexion, was dressed in a confucian robe, and appeared scholarly, but the aura he exuded was remarkably composed.

moreover, his cultivation was not low, possessing a mid-stage nascent soul cultivation.

after the middle-aged man appeared, he first sized up lin jing, noticing that lin jing also had a third-layer nascent soul cultivation, and then he greeted lin jing with a fist and palm salute:

“this fellow daoist…”

“may i inquire what business brings you to suddenly enter the bounds of spirit rock island?”

spirit rock island was closed off year-round, and formations were set up in the surrounding sea region in addition to having a divinity transformation cultivator in residence, which made its reputation widely known.

therefore, it was rare for anyone to intrude upon the island without reason.

this time, lin jing’s sudden arrival had truly surprised the middle-aged man, but seeing no hostility from lin jing, he lowered his guard and asked politely.

it was also from this middle-aged man that lin jing learned that he was within the boundaries of spirit rock island.

suddenly it all made sense…

no wonder the spiritual energy was so rich here.

following that, lin jing also gave a fist and palm salute in return:

“i only took the teleportation array, and by accident, i was transported to the range of spirit rock island.”

“i apologize for the disturbance…”

upon hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately understood and responded with a salute:

“i see now…”

lin jing gave the middle-aged man a quick once-over, and then he spoke:

“if i’m not mistaken, fellow daoist should be the father of yan xing and yan yue…”

the reason lin jing said this was because he felt a sense of familiarity upon his first glimpse of the middle-aged man.

not until he mentioned spirit rock island…

did lin jing recall the two young girls, yan xing and yue’er, whom yan wanfei once saved from the demon cultivator dai mao.

and this middle-aged man did bear a resemblance to yan xing and yan yue.

lin jing’s words left the middle-aged man immensely surprised and a bit more guarded as he said:

“you know my daughter?”

“my daughter has grown up on spirit rock island and seldom left its shores, and even when she did, i personally accompanied her…”

“having never met you before, may i ask where you made the acquaintance of my daughter?”

after a brief moment of contemplation, lin jing began:

“that would have been around twenty years ago, i believe…”

“back then, lu brother, san he brother, yan brother and i were all setting out to deal with the demon cultivator dai mao. it was then that i met yan xing and yue’er…”

hearing lin jing’s story, the middle-aged man’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he said:

“so you’re the ‘uncle lin’ that xing’er and yue’er always talk about…”

lin jing smiled and nodded, then he gave a fist and palm salute to the middle-aged man:

“i am lin jing…”
