With the secret realm of the Yin Soul Sect appearing, the surrounding sea regions were flooded with a myriad of cultivators, causing great unrest.

Even though now only Qi Refining Cultivators are permitted to enter, it still attracted many Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Cultivators.

Some were prepared in advance, sharpening their blades, while others wanted to fish in troubled waters; it was truly a mixed bag.

On this day, at the dock of Five Dragons Island.

The Core Formation Cultivators from the Long Family, Four Seas Commerce Association, and Profound Sound Pavilion all came here to greet, causing quite a stir amongst the market cultivators.

"I heard Bihai Palace has sent a team of Law Enforcement Hall cultivators to guard this place."

"That’s great news, at least the island can be a bit more stable."

"Indeed, with so many outside cultivators lately, it’s been unnerving."

Many cultivators in the market breathed a sigh of relief upon learning that Bihai Palace’s cultivators were here to guard the place. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Recently, many clans and sects have been organizing teams of Qi Refining Cultivators to venture and explore, only to end up with significant casualties.

The news brought back reports of Yin Spirits, terrifying Yin Beasts, and Puppets all around..."

Fairy Ni Chang’s voice transmission reached his ear, and Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but nod silently, while Liu Ruyu and Xu Lingfeng beside him also had serious expressions.

Clearly, the three factions each had their own small groups.

As if afraid Lin Chang’an might misunderstand, Fairy Ni Chang went on to explain:

"Our disciples at Profound Sound Pavilion are difficult to cultivate, and this time sending Qi Refining disciples almost means certain death, so naturally we won’t send anyone.

But the junior clans are different; many are willing to take the risk for a slim chance of opportunity..."

Listening to Fairy Ni Chang’s explanation, Lin Chang’an understood.

It turns out that the cultivator clans under the Profound Sound Pavilion would send people; Profound Sound Pavilion would provide some magical artifacts and elixirs as protective measures, while also promising certain benefits to these clans.

Both parties are willingly engaged; Profound Sound Pavilion wants to know the information inside, while these clan cultivators want to venture and fight for a slim chance of opportunity.

This is common in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and after Lin Chang’an heard, he just lightly sighed.

In the past, if he had such an opportunity when he had no prospects, even amidst dangers, he might have taken the risk too.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, many cultivators don’t even have a choice.

If there’s hope for opportunity, how can it be the loose cultivators’ (low-tier cultivators’) turn? Letting loose cultivators venture means certain death, but for loose cultivators, only by facing death can they find a slim chance of opportunity.

"Just an opportunity is already a great opportunity for loose cultivators."

Having come from a path of a loose cultivator, Lin Chang’an deeply understood, and at this moment, he couldn’t help but shake his head silently.

Life and death are impermanent; is it difficult? If it weren’t hard, how could it be a loose cultivator’s turn?

"With so many Yin Spirits gathered, it seems the prices of fire attribute resources will rise."

Lin Chang’an merely sighed with emotion before thinking of his own interests.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it’s survival of the fittest. It’s because he knows he is weak that he isn’t willing to stop cultivating.

Nowadays, where does he have the credentials to pity others? In the eyes of high-tier cultivators, he is just a slightly stronger ant.

At the same time, Lin Chang’an also showed goodwill towards Fairy Ni Chang, the sect leader’s effort to win him over.

"The ship is here!"

At that moment, with a shout of surprise, suddenly, a cloud in the sky burst open.

"This is Bihai Palace!"

Under numerous low-tier cultivators’ shocked gazes, what appeared in the sky was not a single giant ship, but densely packed with over a hundred awe-inspiring giant ships.

Even Lin Chang’an was shocked by the grand spectacle.

The next moment, one by one, the massive spirit ships slowly descended from the sky, exuding a terrifying aura.

With such an imposing aura, not to mention him, even the Long Family’s faces showed a look of astonishment.

With these hundreds of spirit ships, attacking Five Dragons Island would be effortless.

"Haha, finally arrived."

With a hearty laugh, the cultivators of Bihai Palace’s law enforcement team appeared.

The pressure from nearly twenty Core Formation Cultivators instantly imposed upon everyone.

This caused the three major factions present to have a dramatic change in their expressions, soon turning into a respectful demeanor.

Bihai Palace merely showed the tip of the iceberg, yet it already made resisting seem futile.

Likewise, in the crowd, Lin Chang’an also saw the old Hu standing in the back.

Old Hu smiled and winked at him without any concealment, leaving Lin Chang’an speechless and smiling.

This old Hu, he truly is...

However, he also understood that this was likely intentional by old Hu, to let others know that he also had connections with Bihai Palace.

"Hurry and unload the goods, this old man wishes to have a good gathering with fellow Daoists."

The leading Bihai Palace cultivator was a burly, dark-faced man, who laughed heartily, displaying the demeanor of a Core Formation Late Stage Cultivator.

As the three major factions and Bihai Palace engaged in discussions, Lin Chang’an in the crowd showed a look of realization.

No wonder though Bihai Palace is strong, it shouldn’t be so lavish, casually sending over twenty Core Formation Cultivators.

It’s clear that this is an opportunity for Bihai Palace to escort merchant ships, bringing along a number of cultivators.

In fact, only three Core Formation Cultivators and dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators would remain on the island.

Similarly, Lin Chang’an could see that Bihai Palace is one thing and the merchant ships under the Sixth Elder’s command are another.

"Master Tan previously transmitted a message, wanting to seize this opportunity to earn a lot, and will arrive soon."

Lin Chang’an’s gaze flickered as he naturally analyzed what was going on.

Just like him, he is an honored guest elder of Profound Sound Pavilion; this is public.

Personally, he worked with the Lu Family to run merchant ships, which are his private property.
