He feigned composure and asked, “Fairy Sun, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but this matter is of great importance. While there might be treasures, it’s also filled with considerable risks.”
Hearing this, Sun Ling’er nodded in understanding. Lin Tianfeng’s reaction was within expectation.
After all, though they could be considered friends, the hearts in the Cultivation World are treacherous, and verbal promises are notoriously unreliable.
But Sun Ling’er was prepared; she retrieved a beast skin from her storage bag and handed it to Lin Tianfeng.
Then, with a sincere look, she said, “Daoist Tianfeng, I understand your concerns.”
“Therefore, to prove my goodwill, perhaps you would like to examine this map, or follow me to check the place for yourself.”
...
“If what I say proves true, perhaps we can consider joining forces to seek the treasure.”
“Regarding the distribution of spoils, I would take sixty percent. What do you think of this arrangement, Daoist Tianfeng?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianfeng did not immediately agree, nor did he outright reject her offer. Instead, he carefully pondered her proposal.
In his heart, Sun Ling’er’s gesture was indeed a sign of good faith.
She likely did this because it was difficult for one person to enter the Cave Mansion Ruins, prompting her to seek the Lin Family’s strength for the treasure hunt.
Additionally, she did not insist on the Lin Family’s cooperation and was willing to reveal so much information without knowing their stance.
In this light, she indeed seemed quite sincere.
What’s more, the distribution scheme she proposed was rather generous.
Understanding this, Lin Tianfeng thought it over and decided to first examine the specific location of the Cave Mansion Ruins to verify its truth.
If things were as Sun Ling’er said, he naturally wouldn’t pass up such an opportunity.
With these thoughts, Lin Tianfeng scrutinized the map in his hands, only to discover that the marked location was in a mountain forest tens of thousands of miles west of Qianchuan Market.
This place wasn’t far, situated just on the edge of the Demonic Lands, so the danger wasn’t too great.
With their speed of travel, they could likely reach it within a fortnight.
Such a place was too tempting not to explore.
With these thoughts, Lin Tianfeng chuckled and replied, “Fairy Sun esteems the Lin Family, which I deeply appreciate and am grateful for.”
“It so happens that I am unoccupied, and I could take a clan member with me to accompany you to the Cave Mansion Ruins for an inspection.”
“If the situation turns out to be true, we can then plan accordingly and embark on the treasure hunt together, how does that sound?”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Sun Ling’er, without any hesitation, immediately responded.
“Let’s do as Daoist Tianfeng says!”
“However, this area borders the land of the Demonic Beasts, and many cultivators come here to train. If we delay too long, others might discover it.”
“Hence, I hope Lin will be able to set off as soon as possible!”
Hearing this, Lin Tianfeng quite agreed.
After all, the location was indeed sensitive, and if discovered, it would surely invite unnecessary trouble.
Understanding this, Lin Tianfeng nodded and said, “Rest assured, Fairy Sun, I will discuss this with my fellow clan members and give you an answer before evening.”
“If all goes well, perhaps we can depart tomorrow morning. How about that?”
“Good, very good!”
The two reached an agreement and were both in excellent spirits. They chatted for a while longer and confirmed numerous details.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Sun Ling’er and Lin Tianfeng exchanged their methods of communication and she took her leave from Luoyun Pavilion.
After sending Sun Ling’er off, Lin Tianfeng did not dare delay and promptly returned to the Cave Mansion Courtyard, where he gathered Lin Tianhu and Lin Tianhong along with a few others.
Before long. 𝒏𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝒐𝙢
The Foundation Establishment Cultivators stationed at Qianchuan Market gathered, chatting over tea.
Lin Tianfeng had no intention of beating around the bush and directly brought up Sun Ling’er’s proposal about the Cave Mansion Ruins.
Upon hearing his account, Lin Tianhu and the others looked surprised, and then overjoyed.
After they calmed down, Lin Tianhong spoke up with a reminder, “Big brother, it all sounds well and good, but we don’t know if it’s true or false!”
No sooner had he finished than Lin Tianyue also chimed in.
“Second brother is right; although Sun Ling’er is acquainted with you and sister-in-law, we cannot fully trust her.”
Lin Tianfeng was well aware of what Lin Tianhong and Tianyue were saying.
He had gathered them to discuss the details of this proposal.
In his mind, whether the information was true or false, it was essential to visit the location to find out.
If it turned out to be true, the Wind-attribute Cultivation Technique might be within reach; if false, at worst it meant a wasted month.
As for safety, even if Sun Ling’er harbored some malicious intent and possessed strength at the Foundation Establishment Sixth Level, he could join forces with Lin Tianhu. Even if they couldn’t defeat her, escaping with their lives wouldn’t be difficult.
Moreover, Sun Ling’er was somewhat aware of the Lin Family’s overall strength; it was unlikely she’d make a bold move against the family members.
With this in mind, he believed there was little to worry about regarding safety.
With these thoughts, Lin Tianfeng expressed his opinion to proceed and inspect the site alongside Lin Tianhu.
His idea directly matched Lin Tianhu’s, and although Lin Tianhong and others had some concerns, they also recognized the strength of Lin Tianfeng and Tianhu.
In such a situation, after Lin Tianhong gave a few words of advice, he and Lin Tianfeng finalized the details of their plan.
