Eternal Life from Talisman Painting

Chapter 757: Chapter 365: Baiting with a Fairy_2

Knowing the secret cultivation methods of this person and the opportunities planned, now that the Meng clan is in decline, once Madam Meng passes away, the Meng family will completely fall into obscurity.

Therefore, Meng Xinghai is more eager than anyone to break through to the Core Formation Late Stage as soon as possible.

This time, to set up this trap, Lin Chang’an has made great sacrifices.

Whenever he thinks about his sacrifices, Lin Chang’an can’t help but secretly vow that this matter must never be known to others.

...

"It seems no one is watching."

Upon entering the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, Meng Xinghai couldn’t help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. He was accompanied by his mother and a Core Formation Cultivator from the clan.

"Mother, it seems that the incident with father last time was just an accident."

For the past two years, he has been cautious and dared not step out of Bibo Island, fearing that someone in the shadows was watching their Meng family.

Madam Meng also nodded with a solemn expression.

"It seems we have been overthinking these past two years, but being cautious is never wrong; do not neglect this."

While flying with their Escape Light, they encountered many Core Formation Cultivators also heading to Five Dragons Island.

Upon meeting, whether they were acquaintances or not, as cultivators of the same level, they nodded from a distance to greet each other.

However, they avoided getting close to prevent misunderstandings.

When they landed on Bibo Island, Madam Meng discreetly observed the surroundings. Since her husband fell, she had indeed become overly cautious.

At the same time, two figures in the distance also landed.

"Sister, is this the Five Dragons Island Market? It’s so bustling. Do you think we can trade for Core Formation Spiritual Objects at this trade meeting?"

A young girl dressed in a green feather dress smiled sweetly and pulled the Fake Pill Female Cultivator beside her while talking.

Her slender wrist bore a chain of colorful crystal stones that jingled crisply, making her resemble a lively elf in the forest.

Beside her, her sister had her hair elegantly tied up, with a single translucent jade phoenix tail hairpin askew in her hair, tassels hanging lightly, exuding grace.

She wore a wide-sleeved immortal robe with a white base and embroidered light purple cloud patterns, the hem flowing gracefully, moving with a calm and steady rhythm.

"Little sister, how many times have I told you to be cautious?"

With a touch of caution in her gentle manner, the older sister smiled indulgently at her own sister.

The sisters communicated secretly, unknown to others.

They even wore bamboo hats to hide their appearances.

However, this scene, whether coincidental or meticulously calculated, was witnessed by Meng Xinghai, who had also arrived disguised at the market.

"Mother, is there something off with these two?"

Wearing an elegant blue robe, Meng Xinghai was not blinded by beauty; instead, he inquired extremely calmly with his mother.

After a glance, Madam Meng shook her head lightly.

"One has a Fake Pill cultivation, and the other is at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but remember what we came here for this time."

Thus, although they were practically traveling together, it was obvious that the sisters also sensed that this group was hiding their cultivation and unconsciously changed direction, seemingly to avoid misunderstanding.

The cautious demeanor of these Loose Cultivators instead made Meng Xinghai relax his vigilance somewhat.

Today, there are simply too many cultivators here, and Core Formation and Fake Pill Cultivators are rare gatherings.

Usually, it is rare to see Fake Pill and Core Formation Female Cultivators, but there are many today.

Meanwhile, the two sisters, who had cautiously stayed put, couldn’t help but let their lips curl into a cold smile after seeing the Meng clan leave.

"You know nothing about me, but I know everything about your Meng clan!"

After reading the memory of the person surnamed Meng, he knew that the Meng family had a secret technique capable of eavesdropping on those with lower cultivation.

Both sisters were incarnations transformed by Lin Chang’an’s divine technique.

With his cultivation in a top-level Wood Attribute Technique and the support of his Lifebound Spirit Plant, the Profound Celestial Immortal Vine.

Unless the opponent was a Nascent Soul Cultivator, no one could see through his disguise.

Moreover, the identities of the disguised female cultivators had truly existed, so even if someone investigated, she had no fear.

...

As night gradually fell, the hall gathered even more Core Formation Cultivators.

After being disguised, the two sisters sat at the outer positions of the hall.

With only Fake Pill cultivation, they could only sit here, and although the younger sister was a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, her respectful demeanor behind wasn’t surprising to anyone.

After all, bringing some juniors to gain experience was quite common.

"Young Master, it has been found that these two women are from the Wang family of the Cyan Bamboo Mountain Market in the Yue Kingdom, who arrived even earlier than the Seven Kingdoms Alliance and had earlier sought refuge with the Long family.

For some unknown reason, they later fled to the Heaven-Reaching Mist Sea, and upon entering, they conversed with cultivators from the Profound Sound Pavilion, thus revealing their origins."

After listening to the report, Meng Xinghai nodded secretly, thinking that he was indeed overthinking.

Ever since the incident with his father, he had indeed become somewhat paranoid.

They have backgrounds and origins.

After all, being able to converse with the Profound Sound Pavilion cultivators without revealing a flaw indicates they are very familiar with the Yue Kingdom.

It could be basically determined that even if the identities of the two women were fake, they were individuals from small places within the Yue Kingdom without backing.

"A Fake Pill Female Cultivator and a younger sister preparing to gather Core Formation Spiritual Objects!"

Meng Xinghai was silently contemplating and calculating; he wasn’t a man seduced by lust, nor someone who would lose his head over a woman.

For him, powerful female cultivators were like Spirit Fruits seen by cultivators, full of greed.

They were all Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines for enhancing strength.

"Xinghai, remember the primary task today."

Madam Meng also glanced at her son and then whispered with a lowered voice.

However, she inadvertently took a glance at the female cultivators at the scene. Now that her lifespan was limited, once she was gone and if her son’s strength could not break through to the Core Formation Late Stage.

He would surely suffer bullying, which also secretly distressed her.

"Later let someone present a Core Formation Spiritual Object, and be cautious."

"Yes!"

Meng Xinghai had not forgotten the purpose of their visit and observed the two female cultivators more out of sensing the potential to enhance his cultivation.

Just like all cultivators, facing Spiritual Objects for enhancing cultivation inevitably arouses greed.

Moreover, it wasn’t just these two female cultivators; he had secretly observed all the female cultivators present.

"Mr. Ni Chang."

Suddenly, with the arrival of Fairy Ni Chang from the Profound Sound Pavilion, Meng Xinghai put on a gentlemanly smile and cupped his hands in salute.

"Madam Meng, Mr. Meng."

Fairy Ni Chang smiled lightheartedly and greeted familiar acquaintances.

Seeing this, Meng Xinghai was both moved by the allure of harvesting and tempted by the prospect of the Profound Sound Pavilion’s foundation.

"Damn, that Lin fellow actually possesses a Mutated Demon Beast!"

Thinking of this, Meng Xinghai couldn’t help but cast a fierce look at Lin Chang’an, a heart full of overwhelming hatred.

Yet Lin Chang’an seemed to sense it and turned around, instantly making Meng Xinghai reveal an apologetic expression.

"Mr. Lin, about the previous misunderstanding..."

However, before the words were finished, Lin Chang’an directly showed an indifferent expression and turned away to converse with others.

This scene left Meng Xinghai extremely embarrassed, and others also noticed.

Some watched the spectacle, while others rejoiced in misfortune.

Cultivators from the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, in particular, looked at the Meng family with more cold indifference, as the Meng clan had targeted their alliance’s spiritual mines but didn’t succeed.

As for Lin Chang’an, regardless of his purpose, the Meng family had attempted to rob his personal maidservant.

If not for the Mutated Spirit Pet Cyan-Horned Bull, his maidservant might not have survived.

Whether public or personal, giving no face to the Meng family was entirely reasonable and justified.

"Welcome, fellow cultivators, to the trade meeting hosted by our Seven Kingdoms Alliance..."

Today’s trade meeting was presided over by the Profound Sound Pavilion’s Core Formation Cultivator Liu Ruyu, who welcomed everyone with a beaming smile.

Besides Core Formation Cultivators from surrounding sea regions, many Loose Cultivators, as well as cultivators from the Four Seas Commerce Association and the Long family, had come.

Seeing the increasingly powerful Seven Kingdoms Alliance, the Four Seas Commerce Association felt a crisis and secretly communicated with the Meng family.

The two sides have maintained close contact over the years, for alone, no matter which side faces the Seven Kingdoms Alliance, they are at a disadvantage.

Naturally, seeking cooperation is necessary.

Only the Long family has somewhat fallen into decline, and in recent years, they’ve remained so low-profile that no one wants to provoke them.
