Chapter 323 - Return to Dan King Valley

“Sigh,” Elder Yin heaved a heavy sigh, “It’s all ancient history now, better left unsaid!”

It seemed he had no desire whatsoever to talk about it.

Lin Xuan had no choice but to let it go and once again started discussing the cloak with him.

In the days that followed, Lin Xuan temporarily stayed there, handing the black cloak and Washing Sand over to the old gentleman and then went off in search of other materials.

During this time, he was also organizing a method to treat the death qi within Elder Yin’s body, ultimately forming a reliable plan.

Lin Xuan handed over his organized materials to Elder Yin, who was moved to tears.

It took ten days for Lin Xuan to gather all the materials.

The next thing was for Elder Yin to take over and begin repairing the black cloak.

Throughout this process, Lin Xuan watched from the sidelines.

Elder Yin had no objections to this.

After several days of observation, Lin Xuan developed a respect for the old gentleman in his heart.

Not to mention anything else, but the art of artifact refining alone was an eye-opener for him.

Indeed, Elder Yin even repaired the engravings on the cloak.

Half a month quickly passed by, and the repair of the black cloak was finally completed.

Lin Xuan joyfully stroked the black cloak, noticing that the dark red lines on it were now even more distinct.

“Hehe, lad, with the effect of Washing Sand, the quality of this cloak far exceeds what was originally expected!” Elder Yin chuckled, “It possesses all three secret skills you mentioned, and the invisibility time is even longer.”

The black cloak, now a Spiritual Grade Treasure, not only increased speed but also had three secret skills.

The Blood Sacrifice Cloak, burning Essence Blood to activate the cloak, enabled high-speed movement.

This secret skill had saved Lin Xuan’s life more than once.

The remaining two were new secret skills.

Invisibility, which could conceal not just one’s essence but also physical form, was undetectable by anyone below the Spirit Communication Realm and a Fourth-grade Engraver.

However, the concealment had a time limit, twenty breaths.

With Lin Xuan’s speed, that was enough time to accomplish a great deal.

The third secret skill, Clone.

It could create two clones identical to the true body, able to last for about thirty breaths.

Wearing the cloak joyfully, Lin Xuan felt his strength had greatly increased.

He estimated that this cloak was even among the high-grade of low-level Spirit-grade treasures.

Having repaired the cloak, Lin Xuan had other tasks to attend to, and he planned to leave.

“That’s fine, I too wish to leave this place and heal elsewhere,” Elder Yin said, “If I don’t die, I’ll surely repay your great favor one day!”

“Brother Lin, you be careful as well,” Green Robe, her face flushed, said.

“You too, I hope the next time we meet, you’ll have become a formidable artifact refiner,” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Waving goodbye, Lin Xuan left the bamboo hut.

He had been in Heavenly Mountain Country for a month now, and with the Pill King Contest drawing near, he planned to visit Dan King Valley once again.

With his figure flickering, Lin Xuan’s speed reached its zenith as the black cloak fluttered behind him.

Dan King Valley was surrounded by silence but lacked the radiant protective barrier of before.

“It seems the valley has been unsealed,” Lin Xuan’s mouth curled slightly, as he walked inside.

Not long after entering the valley, he attracted the attention of warriors within.

“Who goes there, daring to intrude into Dan King Valley?”

“Since you’ve come here, don’t plan on leaving!”

Four figures, swift as lightning, rushed over, surrounding Lin Xuan.

“I’m here to find Senior Di Que,” Lin Xuan stated his purpose.

“Looking for the Valley Master?” The four men were skeptical, scrutinizing Lin Xuan closely.

“What are you looking for the Valley Master for?

What’s your purpose?” The four people were cautious in their demeanor.

“I can’t disclose that, just let me see Senior Di Que.” Lin Xuan shrugged.

“Hmph, cut the crap!

Do you think the Valley Master is so easily accessible?

What if you are a spy sent by the Medicine Emperor Institute to harm the Valley Master!”

The four disciples were on guard, and their eyes brimmed with ferocity.

“What’s all this noise about!”

At this moment, a young man quickly approached from afar.

This young man was dressed in a green pattern gold silk robe, and there was an air of arrogance on his face.

He was walking on air, clearly a Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artist.

“Young Master Wu is here!” The four disciples greeted him respectfully.

“Is it you?” The young man saw Lin Xuan and revealed a vicious smile.

This young man was none other than Wu Shaoyu, who had a feud with Lin Xuan the other day.

“Kid, I’ve been looking for you for a long time, and to think you’ve run here!” Wu Shaoyu sneered, “I’d like to see where you can run to now!”

“Young Master Wu, do you know this kid?

He barged into the valley and even claimed he wants to see the Valley Master,” a disciple quickly said.

“See the Valley Master?” Wu Shaoyu’s eyes flickered with an imperceptible light, “What for?”

“He didn’t say.” The four men glared at Lin Xuan menacingly.

“Kid, I’m asking you, who are you and why are you looking for the Valley Master?”

Lin Xuan laughed out of frustration, thinking these guys really acted like constables.

“This matter must be discussed face-to-face with Senior Di Que,” Lin Xuan said slowly, “If you delay my meeting with Senior Di Que, you might suffer for it!”

“Just by you?

You dare to threaten Young Master Wu?” The four disciples scoffed, “Do you know who Young Master Wu is?”

“No need for further talk, capture him and use him as garden fertilizer!” Wu Shaoyu said coldly.

“Try to capture me, and you’ll regret it,” Lin Xuan’s face showed a hint of anger.

He had originally come to treat Elder Di Que, and by all accounts, he should be a great benefactor of Dan King Valley, but now he was treated like a criminal, which made Lin Xuan angry.

“I’ll just tie you up!” Wu Shaoyu sneered with the perfect excuse to see Grandpa Han.

“You four, tie him up for me!”

The four pulled out ropes, ready to bind someone.

Lin Xuan did not resist, letting them bind him, and he said with a heavy voice: “It’s easy to tie me up, but hard to untie me!”

“Enough talk, let’s go!” The four disciples snorted.

Lin Xuan wore a cold smirk, following calmly behind, curious to see what would happen after meeting Elder Di Que.

Along the way, the disciples in the valley looked at Lin Xuan in surprise, and many whispered and gossiped in low voices.

“Who is this kid, he looks somewhat familiar?”

“Who cares, he has offended Young Master Wu, he’s done for this time!”

“I heard he trespassed into the valley, he might as well never think about getting out!”

As the disciples chatted, they did not forget to greet Wu Shaoyu with respect.

“Grandpa Han, your grandson has come to see you,” Young Master Wu Shaoyu arrived in front of a pavilion and respectfully spoke.

“Hehe, Shaoyu has come.” An elderly voice sounded, and an old man sitting in a wheelchair slowly came out.

“Your father sent you again…” Old Man Di Que hadn’t finished his sentence when he saw Lin Xuan behind the others.

Immediately, his body straightened up, and his trembling hands stretched out.

“Grandpa Han, what’s wrong with you?” Wu Shaoyu was puzzled.

Following the old man’s gaze, he saw the composed and calm Lin Xuan.

“Oh, this kid broke into our valley uninvited.

I suspect he’s a spy from the Medicine Emperor Institute.

I was planning to chop him into manure…”

Wu Shaoyu hadn’t finished speaking when he heard Old Man Di Que excitedly call out, “Lin my friend, you’ve finally come!”

“Lin my friend?” Wu Shaoyu was baffled, with a bad feeling in his heart.
