Chapter 1400 - 593: Recruiting a Raw Jade

Chapter 1400: Chapter 593: Recruiting a Raw Jade

"There’s a bit of courage in you."

Li Yunjing chuckled softly, finally ceasing to just watch, and swung his sleeve.

"Boom!"

A golden palm seal descended from the sky, directly smashing the sea serpent demon into a mist of blood!

The aftermath rippled, even shattering the octopus sea demon!

Everyone on the ship was dumbfounded, and Lin Xuan suddenly raised his head, looking towards the sky.

He only saw a figure walking in the air, their robes fluttering, akin to an exiled immortal.

Li Yunjing stood with his hands behind, smiling faintly: "Lin Xuan, long time no see."

"Senior?"

Lin Xuan’s pupils contracted sharply, and his hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

He recalled that back in "Four Seas City," when his family treasure was forcibly taken, a senior intervened, giving him generous compensation and purchasing the family heirloom.

It was because of the wealth given by this senior that he had the capital to rise.

Originally thinking that amidst the vast sea of people, there would be no chance to meet again, he didn’t expect, when faced with a situation of certain death, this senior suddenly appeared and saved his life.

This left Lin Xuan with mixed feelings, staring blankly at Li Yunjing, seemingly at a loss for words.

"What, don’t recognize me anymore?"

Li Yunjing looked at Lin Xuan’s dazed expression, slightly raising the corner of his mouth, his tone leisurely.

"The great kindness of the senior, Lin Xuan will never forget!"

Lin Xuan came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and solemnly cupped his hands in salute: "If it weren’t for the senior’s help back then, I might have long since..."

"It was just a small effort."

Li Yunjing waved his hand, interrupting him: "But you, in just a few years, have stepped into the Fifth Heaven of Foundation Establishment Realm. It seems these years were not wasted."

"If not for the spirit stones and elixirs granted by the senior back then, I couldn’t have today’s cultivation."

Lin Xuan smiled bitterly.

"The opportunity was given to you, but the path you walked yourself."

Li Yunjing’s gaze deepened, seemingly with a smile: "To get to this point is your ability."

The people on the ship exchanged glances, no one expected that this suddenly appearing powerhouse had ties with Lin Xuan!

And from their conversation, it seemed there was quite a deep connection.

This filled Lin Xuan’s companions with awe when they looked at him.

At the start, before the senior appeared, just a distant gesture was enough to kill a Tier Three Demon King.

Such skill was unimaginably powerful for them.

Li Yunjing took a step, already boarding the ship.

With a gentle sweep of his sleeve, the sea breeze immediately calmed, and the entire ship stabilized.

Li Yunjing signaled Lin Xuan to come over.

Only then did Lin Xuan react, returning to the ship from mid-air.

The other companions, seeing this senior being with them at close range, couldn’t help but feel tense, offering respectful greetings.

"Everyone, there’s no need for formalities! Go to the cabin first; I have a few words to say to Lin Xuan."

Li Yunjing nodded slightly, his voice gentle yet indisputable.

"Yes, senior!"

Everyone responded promptly, not daring to say more, quickly heading towards the cabin.

Soon, only Li Yunjing and Lin Xuan were left on the deck.

"How have you been these past years?"

Li Yunjing gazed at the vast sea, calmly asking.

"Since parting at ’Four Seas City’, I secluded myself with the spirit stones and elixir gifted by you, devoted to cultivation."

Lin Xuan sheathed his long sword, his expression complex: "Over twenty years ago, I broke through the Foundation Establishment Realm, opened a shop in the city, married, and had a son. Yet fate was cruel, and my family was harmed."

Saying this, a hint of sadness flickered in his eyes: "Now, wandering aimlessly, not knowing when I can avenge my wife and child."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Li Yunjing’s gaze tightened, slowly turning to Lin Xuan: "Need my help?"

He had known about this matter long ago.

These words were meant to test Lin Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan raised his head abruptly, a hint of struggle in his eyes.

He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, blood seeping through the cracks, yet he didn’t feel it.

"I appreciate the senior’s kindness."

His voice was hoarse, yet incredibly firm, "But this blood feud... I must end it with my own hands."

"Just with your current Foundation Establishment Realm at Fifth Heaven?"

Li Yunjing’s eyes flashed a hint of approval, yet he deliberately sneered: "By the time you form your core, who knows what year it will be!"

"I know my strength is low."

Lin Xuan raised his head, his eyes ablaze with intense fire, "But I will become stronger, strong enough to cut down my enemies with my own hands!"

The sea wind howled, stirring their robes.

After a moment of silence, Li Yunjing suddenly raised his hand, a golden light enveloping the whole ship.

"Good! You have spirit!"

With a flick of his broad sleeve, three treasures floated in the air, "This ’Cyan Nether Sword’ I used in my early years, this bottle of ’True Essence Pill’ can help you quickly accumulate mana, and this ’Taixu Sword Manual’ is enough for you to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm."

Extremely satisfied with Lin Xuan’s response, Li Yunjing decided to give him some support after contemplating.

He wanted to see if Lin Xuan could surprise him once more.

"Senior... this..."

Lin Xuan was shocked as he looked at the treasures before him, yet did not immediately reach out.

"Don’t misunderstand, it’s not given to you for free."

Li Yunjing’s mouth slightly raised, "Recently, I’m handling affairs with the ’East Sea Alliance.’ Do you have the confidence to join the ’East Sea Alliance’ and serve on the front line at ’Holy Sound Island’?"

"Holy Sound Island?"

Lin Xuan’s pupils shrank, "It’s the most dangerous place in the East Sea now."

"What, are you scared?"

Li Yunjing asked with a smile.

He wanted to see how Lin Xuan would choose.

"No!"

Grabbing the "Cyan Nether Sword," which immediately emitted a clear dragon cry, Lin Xuan declared, "I will go to the front line! I accept!"
