Just as Lin Xuan was hesitating, the voice came from the tortoise shell again, "Young man, you seem to be quite lucky. I won't make things difficult for you. How about this, let's make a contract. I'll let you use my body for a thousand years. The condition is that after a thousand years, you have to send me back to the Mother Stream."
"This …"
Lin Xuan had a headache.
The condition was not bad, but a thousand years? Wasn't this deadline a little too long?
From the old tortoise's tone, it was as if a thousand years was a month. As for Lin Xuan, he had only lived for less than fifty years in both his previous and current lives.
"Why? You're not willing? "the old tortoise asked.
Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "I agree. But what is the Mother Stream that you're talking about? Where is it located? "
"Tsk tsk, what an ignorant kid. The Mother Stream naturally refers to the Mother Stream that gave birth to the Myriad Worlds." The old tortoise's tone was a little disdainful.
Lin Xuan's eyes flashed. He secretly looked at his martial fate and nodded, "Alright, I agree."
Although he did not know where the Mother Stream was, it did not mean that he would not know in the future. Wasn't there still a thousand years?
"Alright, since you've agreed, then let's make a contract. From now on, I'll let you use my body. Don't disturb my rest."
"Alright!"
Since Lin Xuan had made up his mind, he did not hesitate. He immediately forced out his essence blood, drew a contract rune in the air, and pushed it towards the tortoise shell.
This was a very loose master-slave contract. Both parties did not have to live or die together. It was just to strengthen mutual trust. Other than the conditions agreed upon by both parties, there were no other restrictions.
The contract rune entered the tortoise shell and disappeared in the blink of an eye. The contract was thus established.
Next, Lin Xuan had a short conversation with the Destined Black Tortoise. He also had a better understanding of the tortoise shell.
The shell of the Destined Black Tortoise had a unique characteristic. The smaller it was, the stronger its defense would be. The bigger it was, the weaker its defense would be.
Finally, at Lin Xuan's request, the giant tortoise shell shrunk and transformed, gradually turning into a silver helmet that covered Lin Xuan's head, perfectly covering his head without leaving the slightest gap.
Lin Xuan had planned to fish out more useful things from Old Tortoise's mouth. Unfortunately, the lazy Old Tortoise quickly fell into a deep slumber and no longer paid any attention to Lin Xuan.
Fortunately, Lin Xuan had achieved his goal.
On the one hand, he had made a contract with the Destiny Black Tortoise, so he no longer had to worry about having an unstable factor by his side.
On the other hand, the tortoiseshell battle helmet of the Destiny Black Tortoise had a special ability in addition to its strong defense. It was called Destiny.
Lin Xuan was not too sure about the specific effects of this ability. But he vaguely felt that it should be enough to restrain the Chaotic Life Devil Crow.
The next afternoon, Lin Xuan ordered people to call back Shen Yueling, Li Qiushui, Chi Wufeng, and the rest. In addition, Zhong Xingyu and the Lian family's ancestor, Lian Renjie.
He also had Li Qiushui bring 30 divine guards. The group of 40 plus people boarded a large flying boat and slowly flew toward the northwestern horizon. Their target was Yu State's Imperial Heaven City.
…
The Sword Maste's Sword Tasting Assembly lasted for a total of seven days.
But in reality, when the news had just been released, countless martial artists had already rushed over from all over the world and gradually gathered at Imperial Heaven City.
Ever since the Daqian dynasty was destroyed, Imperial Heaven City had already declined for many years in the hands of the Later Qian Emperor, Yu Tianxing.
But in the recent ten days, due to the influx of a large number of martial artists, it directly caused Imperial Heaven City to be overcrowded. At the same time, it also spurred on the city's economy. All the merchants and shops made a lot of money. Everywhere was bustling with noise and excitement, showing a temporary sign of prosperity.
On the main street of the Imperial Heaven City, there was an ancient three-story building called the Heavenly Sword Tower.
The Heavenly Sword Tower was a large trading company that mainly sold swords. Its backer was the Sword Maste.
Recently, the Heavenly Sword Tower was full of guests every day. Almost all the treasures in the Heavenly Sword Tower were snatched up by martial artists from all over the world.
The Sword Tasting Assembly was held on the third floor of the Heavenly Sword Tower.
In order to hold the Sword Tasting Assembly, the Sword Maste deliberately hired several hundred high-grade spirit tattooists to set up a Great Meru Array on the third floor of the Heavenly Sword Tower. It created a large space that was hundreds of miles wide, enough to accommodate a million people.
Of course, those who were qualified to enter the third floor were at least Divine Astral Realm experts. It was impossible for more than a million people to enter at the same time. It looked spacious enough.
Lin Xuan brought Shen Yueling, Li Qiushui, and the rest into the third floor of the Heavenly Sword Tower and was immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
As far as the eye could see, it was densely packed with stalls and shops that stretched as far as the eye could see. All kinds of divine weapons, treasures, spirit talismans, and materials could be found here, and there was a dazzling array of them. Countless cultivators were moving freely among them, and the sounds of shouting and haggling rose and fell, causing it to be extremely noisy.
"Come and take a look! The authentic Snowfall Cherry Blossom Sword from the Sword Maste! Mid-grade mystic weapon, only selling for 9,000 mid-grade origin stones! "
"The super poisonous Tiger Head Scorpion from the Ten Thousand Poison Valley. Even a Heavenly Transformation Realm expert would have to kneel with a bite, only selling for 3,000 mid-grade origin stones! There are only 13 of them, first come, first served! "
"The Monkey Head Fruit from the Spiritual Earth Realm. Eating one can increase one's cultivation by one month. It can be eaten cumulatively. One fruit is only selling for 100 mid-grade origin stones, limited in quantity …"
All kinds of hawking filled one's ears, causing one's eardrums to thump and scalp to go numb.
Lin Xuan automatically filtered out the noise and focused his eyes to size up the space. He discovered that in the depths of the space, there were some towering buildings. That should be the true location of the Sword Appraisal Assembly.
As for the endless market in front of him, it was actually just the Sword Maste doing business for ordinary martial artists.
However, Lin Xuan wasn't interested in the scene in front of him, but it didn't mean that the others weren't interested.
At least, Shen Yueling and Li Qiushui's beautiful eyes were wide open, revealing eager expressions.
Usually, they were either cultivating or on missions. They rarely had the time to relax and shop. Moreover, other places didn't have such a variety of rare things, making them too much for their eyes to take in and full of interest.
"Master's wife, let's go shopping, okay? Who knows, we might be able to find some treasures! "Li Qiushui held onto Shen Yueling's arm, her eyes filled with hope as she softly pleaded.
"Eh?"
Shen Yueling blushed and looked at Lin Xuan with a pleading expression.
Lin Xuan nodded and said with a smile, "Let's go. In any case, the highlight of the Sword Appraisal Assembly is in the last three days. There's nothing much to do in the first few days. Since we're here today, let's relax. If there's anything, remember to send a signal. "
"Mm, mm."
Shen Yueling nodded happily. Holding Li Qiushui's hand, she squeezed into the crowd and excitedly joined the shopping army.
In fact, with their wealth, there weren't many things that could catch their eyes. They were just joining in the fun out of instinct.
Lin Xuan couldn't be bothered to join in the fun. He looked around and instantly discovered a small two-story building with a flag with the word "wine" hanging on it a few hundred meters away. He walked over.
"Sect Master, someone is watching us."
Chi Wufeng secretly transmitted his voice.
"No need to pay attention to them."
"Yes."
It was normal for someone to be watching. Lin Xuan didn't hide his identity too much. Although he changed his appearance, his aura didn't change. Most of the people around him also maintained their original appearances. It wasn't strange for some people to recognize him.
Walking into the tavern, Lin Xuan sat down at a table by the window. He was just about to order a drink when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure sitting at the table opposite him.
