The Greedy Old Man in Sackcloth

"Little Vixen, have you ever heard of the Qi Gazing Technique?"

Watching Lin Langtian's departing figure, Lin Dong turned around and looked at the Little Vixen that flashed out from the Stone Talisman, asking curiously.

Upon hearing this, Little Vixen paused, a thoughtful look appearing on his face. He then shook his head and said, "The concept of luck is too vague and ethereal. Even top figures have never heard of anyone being able to predict a person's life by observing their luck."

"Oh, so you mean what Lin Langtian said just now was a lie?" Lin Dong frowned slightly.

Deep down, he didn't believe in any so-called "qi-reading" technique.

However, Lin Langtian's confident demeanor just now made him suspicious.

Could it be that I am truly blessed with good fortune?

"Well... I can't say for sure. Lin Langtian is too mysterious. Even I can't see through him. Maybe he really does have some unknown methods." Little Vixen pondered for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said.

"Forget it, don't overthink it. Speaking of which, I think you really have extraordinary luck. Perhaps Lin Langtian did see something."

"But the most important thing right now is to establish the Devouring Ancestral Symbol as our master. As for the rest, just focus on doing your job well." Seeing Lin Dong deep in thought, Little Vixen chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong nodded. He had obtained the Devouring Ancestral Symbol in an unexpected way, and now it was time to subdue it.

Thinking of this, Lin Dong also left the inn, preparing to leave the city to find a secluded place to begin the process of his Ancestral Talisman recognizing its master...

"After three months of seclusion, it seems that everyone in the clan has returned to Lin City. I need to hurry back as well."

There are still six months until the Clan Gathering begins. During this time, it is imperative to break through to the Half-step Nirvana. Thinking of the upcoming plan, Lin Langtian's eyes narrowed slightly.

As if understanding Lin Langtian's thoughts, the Jin Wu cried out, and then its body trembled, quickly transforming into a huge black-gold crow several meters in size.

At this moment, the Jin Wu was already extremely large, and when the sunlight shone down, it appeared exceptionally majestic.

Moreover, the Jin Wu's pair of purple-gold wings were like purple-gold steel, possessing a unique metallic texture.

The feathers on its Crow Wings exuded a cold aura, like the chill of the deepest winter, radiating a cold wave.

"Jin Wu, you..." Seeing the changes in the Jin Wu, Lin Langtian couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"You're not the only one who's made progress in these three months. Your pet has completely absorbed the Nine Nether Cold Qi from that Ancient Monument Space, and its growth rate is just as fast."

"This enormous size is just its normal form. A fully grown Seven Fiend Black Gold Crow can be hundreds of feet long. This is nothing special," Spirit Aunt said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian nodded with emotion. Putting aside everything else, its enormous size truly befits its status as a royal-grade Royal Beast.

If it can successfully absorb the Nine Nether Cold Sparrow Essence Blood and evolve into the Nine Fiend Black Gold Crow, wouldn't it be over a thousand feet tall?

At Jin Wu's insistence, Lin Langtian leaped up and landed on Jin Wu's back.

"Bah!"

With a cry, the Jin Wu transformed into a streak of cold light and vanished into the horizon in a flash.

As Lin Langtian disappeared into the distance, the mountains where he had just been standing fell silent once more.

This silence lasted for about an hour. Suddenly, the air in the sky fluctuated, and an old man dressed in simple linen clothes suddenly appeared.

The old man looked extremely ordinary, dressed in a plain linen garment, with gray hair, resembling an old farmer. But everyone knew that the way he appeared was something no ordinary old man could accomplish.

At this moment, the Old Man in Sackcloth was frowning as he looked at the collapsed mountain peak. Suddenly, he made a grasping motion in the air in front of him and murmured something.

"There's a trace of residual Devouring Power. Could it be that the Devouring Ancestral Symbol within the Great Desolation Ancient Tablet has truly been obtained by someone?"

"I've gone through countless hardships and traveled a long way just for this Devouring Ancestral Symbol. It's somewhat unfair that someone else got it."

"Now the seal on that Great Desolation Ancient Tablet is completely formed, and even I can no longer enter it."

Fortunately, fate has smiled upon me; I've actually sensed a slight fluctuation of this Devouring Power here. Regardless of whether this fluctuation originates from the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, I must follow it!

Thinking of this, the Old Man in Sackcloth did not hesitate at all. He flashed and chased after the direction where Lin Langtian had disappeared.

As night gradually descended upon the mountains, Lin Langtian, who had been traveling all day, finally commanded the Jin Wu to land on a hillside for a short rest.

Beneath a large tree, Lin Langtian sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, slowly absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish his Dantian and Yuan Pellet.

"Langtian, I sensed that someone was following us along the way." As Lin Langtian was adjusting his internal energy, Spirit Aunt's voice suddenly rang out.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, Lin Langtian's eyes snapped open, his gaze instantly turning sharp.

Those who can be guarded by Spirit Aunt must be experts above the Nirvana Stage, and not just ordinary Nirvana Stage!

"Let's go, get out of here!"

Lin Langtian suddenly stood up and said decisively.

However, just as he was about to call Jin Wu to set off, his expression suddenly changed, and his gaze abruptly turned to the east, where a faint sound of wind breaking suddenly came from.

Although the sound of the wind breaking was faint, it made Lin Langtian's hair stand on end, and an extremely dangerous feeling enveloped his heart.

Immediately afterwards, ripples of air spread out in the sky in front of Lin Langtian, and then an old man dressed in hemp clothing appeared in front of him like a ghost.

The old man was ordinary, and even his breathing was extremely steady, but under this steady breathing, Lin Langtian sensed a terrifying fluctuation that was countless times stronger than Lin Fan's.

"At least he has passed through the Nirvana Stage of the Triple Nirvana Tribulation!"

Sensing the old man's profound aura, Lin Langtian gasped in shock.

The thought that this mysterious old man was very likely a super strong expert at the Three Yuan Nirvana Stage made his heart sink.

"Bah!"

The Jin Wu let out a low roar, its dark eyes warily watching the Old Man in Sackcloth in mid-air. It also sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from the latter's body.

In the sky, the Old Man in Sackcloth also focused his gaze on Lin Langtian. Then, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he laughed, "Creation Realm Peak, Half-step Heavenly Talisman Master, tsk tsk, it seems that this kid is also a genius."

Lin Langtian's expression turned solemn as he looked at the Old Man in Sackcloth. As if he had thought of something, his expression changed slightly.

However, Lin Langtian still tried to remain calm and said, "Senior seems to have followed me for quite a distance. May I ask what brings you to all this trouble?"

"As expected of someone with extraordinary Mental Power, he was able to sense my tracking."

The Old Man in Sackcloth smiled slightly, his gaze fixed on Lin Langtian, and said, "I have come here to Devouring Ancestral Symbol."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at the Jin Wu beside him, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, and then he laughed.

"It's actually the Royal Beast, the Seven Fiend Black Gold Crow! Young man, you're very lucky. I've also set my sights on this beast!"
