651: Tianliu Matchmaking (please subscribe and ask for monthly tickets)

"Come in!" True Lord's voice rang out.

Lin Shiming glanced at Lin Shitao, and the two of them walked inside.

True Lord stood at the entrance of the reception hall, half-greeting them.

For Lin Shiming, this was a bit overwhelming.

After all, in terms of seniority, he was a Senior, and in terms of cultivation, he was far above Lin Shiming.

To do this already indicated that True Lord considered him a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

"Congratulations, Senior True Lord. I came in a hurry today and prepared a small gift," Lin Shiming said, taking out a jade box.

Inside the jade box was a High Grade fifth-tier Tai Gan Shark King Yao Beast Inner Core.

This Inner Core was also precious to Lin Shiming, but in the previous battle, he even had sixth-tier Inner Cores.

As for the Tianliu Crystals prepared by the Lin family, Lin Shiming intended to send them on the day of the ceremony.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, there's no need to keep calling me Senior. With your talent, you'll reach our Realm sooner or later. We are both from the sword Dao, so you can call me Daoist Tian Liu or Senior Sister Ji," True Lord said, her words devoid of the joy of a Breakthrough to a True Lord, only calm.

This scene made Lin Shiming a bit curious.

After all, a normal True Lord's Breakthrough would likely be met with beaming smiles.

After a pause, he realized that Immortal Master Tian Liu probably hadn't recovered from Immortal Master Kuang Feng's passing.

True Lord invited Lin Shiming into the main hall, where spirit tea was already set on the Eight Immortals table.

"Try the Liuyunxiang from a Secret Realm. It can only be considered a Low Grade fifth-tier spirit tea. Fellow Daoist Lin, please don't mind the inferior tea," True Lord began to pour tea for Lin Shiming.

After pouring for Lin Shiming, he also poured for Lin Shitao.

This spirit tea was extremely verdant, like freshly sprouted willow buds.

"This Junior, a mere Golden Core, is not as precious as this spirit tea," Lin Shiming couldn't help but say.

However, True Lord did not respond.

Instead, he began to drink tea alone.

He seemed somewhat lost in thought. Seeing this, Lin Shiming naturally didn't find True Lord impolite; he merely sighed inwardly.

He didn't know why True Lord was like this today.

If this were truly the case, how could True Lord have achieved a Nascent Soul Breakthrough?

Lin Shiming also picked up the spirit tea at this moment and leisurely took a sip.

He felt a sense of the passage of time, like spring turning to autumn, and also the profound mystery of willow buds continuously sprouting, signifying the endless path of Cultivation.

This spirit tea also seemed to broaden one's state of mind.

At the same time, it was full of Spiritual Qi. Even Lin Shitao, who was beside him, changed her expression after taking a sip.

She immediately sat down to meditate and refine the Spiritual Qi.

"This isn't Low Grade fifth-tier, is it?" Lin Shiming asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist Lin's wife can go to the next room to refine the Spiritual Qi!" True Lord did not answer Lin Shiming's question but instead offered a suggestion.

Lin Shitao nodded upon hearing this:

"Thank you, Senior!" Lin Shitao walked into the pavilion next door.

Then he looked at Lin Shiming with a slight apology.

After Lin Shitao went to the side, Lin Shiming also put down his tea and looked at True Lord.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, don't blame me for deliberately concealing it," True Lord finally changed his expression at this moment.

"Rather, I want to ask Fellow Daoist Lin, do you truly have no intentions for Yulin and Fuling?"

True Lord's words made Lin Shiming pause, and he didn't respond for a moment.

Then he saw True Lord continue:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, I am also an experienced person. When I met Zhao Yufeng, he also had a wife and children, but his wife eventually died of old age because her cultivation failed to Breakthrough!"

"I know that feeling best."

"Originally, I thought it would be fine to be a Fellow Daoist, but only when I lost him did I feel the emptiness in my heart." At this moment, True Lord was like an eighteen-year-old girl missing her beloved.

Her words were surprisingly calm.

"I've said so much, I just want to tell you that on the path of Cultivation, no one can grasp the next life. If you have feelings, then there's no need to mind; seize the present!" True Lord finally said.

But Lin Shiming just picked up the spirit tea and took another sip.

"I've disappointed Senior. This Junior is devoted to the Dao and doesn't have so many other thoughts." Images of Zhao Fuling and Zhao Yulin flashed through Lin Shiming's mind.

The talents of both women were no less than Lin Shitao's. For Lin Shiming, they were more suitable, and a hint of fantasy had even appeared in his mind.

But he knew that his path to Immortality meant he wouldn't stay long.

"Since Fellow Daoist Lin is so insistent, then let's not talk about this topic," True Lord sighed, seeing Lin Shiming's persistence.

Then he also took a sip of spirit tea.

"Compared to matters of the heart, Lin is more concerned about Daoist Tian Liu's view of the future situation." Lin Shiming constantly changed his address, also indicating his attitude.

"I can't claim to have insights into the situation, but I have many concerns. Fellow Daoist Xueshan also discussed this with me," True Lord sighed.

This was also why she wanted to set Lin Shiming up again. Once the Innate Spirit Treasure matured, the barrier of this world would no longer exist. At that time, the entire Great Yu World might be invaded by Cultivators from other Realms.

A Realm whose highest Cultivator was only a Nascent Soul Cultivator could not withstand a Soul Transformation True Lord.

Especially the invasions from the Tai Gan Shark Realm and the Ancient Demon Realm.

Both of these were rather terrifying Realms, with considerable backing in the Spirit Realm.

"To be honest with Fellow Daoist Lin, the Blood Cultivation Sea Region of the Blood Cultivation Sect seems to have signs of Ancient Demon Qi, and a crimson mist has also appeared in Southern Xinjiang. If my prediction is correct, it is also a spatial node that has been overlapped." Although True Lord had only recently achieved a Breakthrough, his information was exceptionally well-informed.

Of course, the main reason was that Lin Shiming had been in seclusion Cultivating for many years and rarely attended gatherings of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

"At this ceremony, Fellow Daoist Xueshan will likely propose forming an Alliance again!" True Lord spoke again.

Lin Shiming nodded. This was also one of his purposes for coming here.

For the Cultivators of the Great Yu World, it was indeed very unfriendly.

"By the way, Daoist Tian Liu, I wonder if I can exchange something with you!" Lin Shiming hesitated for a moment, then spoke.

"Just say it."

"I can exchange the Legacy of Immortal Master Tian Lei for a fifth-tier Peak Tai Gan Shark Spirit Skin," Lin Shiming said.

Upon hearing this, True Lord was slightly stunned but quickly nodded.

"This can be agreed upon, but what Fellow Daoist Lin wants is the Five Elements Divine Thunder Legacy, right?" True Lord asked.

"In the Five Elements Divine Thunder Legacy, only the Rengui Water Divine Thunder and the Yimu Wood Divine Thunder are transmitted secret techniques, while the remaining three Divine Thunders are substitutes, weaker in power. Otherwise, if the Five Elements Divine Thunder were truly complete, Immortal Master Tian Lei might not have lost that battle!" True Lord did not conceal anything.

Instead, he spoke truthfully.

After all, Lin Shiming and Tianliu Island had been allies for so many years.

If it were the complete Five Elements Divine Thunder secret technique, a fifth-tier Peak Tai Gan Shark Skin would naturally not be enough for an exchange, but they were willing to exchange for this secondary type.

It was merely a matter of making a copy.
