Chapter 870 - 259: Lin Qingquan’s Harsh Wake-up Call
"So, it’s impossible to leave it to you!"
"No one can interfere? No one can change this situation?"
"...Unless the Great Celestial Venerable intervenes! The Great Celestial Venerable, with Supreme Mana, can trigger the Heavenly Dao and use the Celestial Book to rewrite the destiny inscribed in the Heavenly Dao!" Lin Qingquan sneered, "But the future of a Saint concerns the myriad lives of the Domain Realm! How can the Great Celestial Venerable forsake a Saint for the sake of your love? Ridiculous!"
Chen Yan gritted his teeth, "I don’t believe it; surely there must be some way?"
"...Matters at the Saint level, I don’t know much. Your question, I can’t provide an answer." Lin Qingquan’s expression was very solemn, "My warnings end here, Chen Yan! I was entrusted to care for you a bit, but this matter is too great; I’ve already done my part in stopping you once! If you continue recklessly, I do not wish to get involved in this karma! From now on, do not ask me about this matter anymore, and I won’t speak to you about it either."
Matters at the Saint level...
Chen Yan pondered Lin Qingquan’s words carefully.
Matters at the Saint level...
Then, perhaps it’s indeed not something Lin Qingquan can answer.
Although Chen Yan felt helpless, felt defeated, he ultimately refused to give up!
He must...
See the old lady with his own eyes!
Matters at the Saint level, Lin Qingquan has no solution, but the old lady might have a different answer!

Thinking of this, Chen Yan no longer tangled with Lin Qingquan’s attitude.
He gently exhaled, stood up, and made a bow and salute to Lin Qingquan, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for your guidance!"
Although Lin Qingquan warned him sternly, regardless, it was a kind reminder.
This favor, Chen Yan certainly understood.
"Ah!" Lin Qingquan shook his head, "It’s not surprising you’re troubled by love at your age. When you grow older, you’ll understand that many things in this world are far more important than love."
Chen Yan said nothing, but inwardly he disagreed.
If he can’t even protect the person he loves, what importance do other matters... hold any significance?
Weighing benefits, balancing losses...
That’s what Old Dengs go back to consider.
Being just over twenty, he only feels that if he has to give up the person he loves, even if he were to become an immortal or ancestor later, what’s there to be proud of?!
Nothing but a coward!
·
Of course, Chen Yan wouldn’t argue with Lin Qingquan on these matters.
He composed himself and deliberately shifted the topic, "What’s the deal with the conversion... thing? Lin Xianyu wasn’t forced by you; I get that now.
But the Domain Realm conversion... this matter seems a bit mysterious."
"Hey!" Lin Qingquan chuckled dryly, regaining a bit of an informal demeanor, and whispered, "This matter... if you ask others, you definitely won’t find out, but I, being who I am, know a bit."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"The conversion of cultivators in this realm, actually only requires demon cultivators, not human ones." Lin Qingquan said slowly, "Moreover, this order is reportedly issued by a Demon Race Demon Venerable, directly instructed from the Immortal Platform."
Lin Qingquan said, lowering his voice, "Among the Demon Race, there’s a Venerable whose title is Hundred-Year-old..."
Chen Yan smiled, "That name doesn’t sound auspicious. Cultivators live long lives; even regular cultivators can live for hundreds of years. A Venerable can be immortal.
To title oneself Hundred-Year-old, isn’t that cursing oneself to die young?"
"Matters of the Saints, who knows." Lin Qingquan shook his head, speaking lightly, "I only know, that the Hundred-Year-old Saint previously devoted spirit to the Heavenly Dao, always slept in cultivation, but suddenly awoke recently and began to involve in Demon Race matters.
Rumor has it, that many things and cultures in this realm spread to the Domain Realm, sparking the Saint’s curiosity, thus a desire to understand more.
So, an order was issued, to gather some demon cultivators scattered in this realm, to select some suitable, well-qualified ones, and to send them to serve under that Saint."
Chen Yan nodded, "Got it... they just need someone familiar with this world as a guide, sent to the Saint’s side to introduce this world’s circumstances, entertain the Saint?"
"Not purely... like that..."
Lin Qingquan suddenly wore a strange expression, "This conversion list, consists of banshees..."
"Hmm?"
Chen Yan’s eyes widened.
"That Hundred-Year-old Venerable, who cultivates with the principle of ’indulgence,’ has a hundred wives and concubines serving him, from various races... indeed a peculiar being among Saints.
It is heard that one wife or concubine recently reached the end of her lifespan and has passed, so to send a banshee to serve, probably... also aims to replenish the number to a hundred wives and concubines."
What the...?
Chen Yan couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
This is a Hundred-Year-old Venerable? Clearly a Hundred-Sleeps!
"However, the conversion is not compulsory; our Immortal Platform still operates reasonably. Those willing can go; unwilling ones won’t be forced.
What Lin Xianyu told you, I taught her to say, just to quickly lure you out of Jinling Prefecture."
Lin Qingquan exhaled, "However, truthfully speaking, being sent to be the wife or concubine of a Saint Venerable for cultivators in the Domain Realm is an extraordinary opportunity, many would fiercely compete for."
Chen Yan wasn’t surprised by such a statement.
The reality in the world holds similar logic; if asked to be a concubine for an influential figure, like either of the two Ma’s, many would vie to go, some men might even consider trying.
"Lin Xianyu refused to go; she said she was already preparing to affiliate with the Heavenly Dao in this realm, and was frantically earning Merit." Lin Qingquan said, glancing at Chen Yan, "The Fox Demon you enlightened indeed wishes to remain in this realm; however... it’s a pity.
She possesses some bloodline of the Demon Emperor, although diluted, she is an exceptional candidate. If she went to serve the Hundred-Year-old Venerable in the Domain Realm, with her bloodline, she would likely face great fortunes."
"Ha! Lin Laodeng, is your Inspection Bureau also dabbling in matchmaking?" Chen Yan laughed.
Lin Qingquan stared, "I said there’s absolutely no compulsion!"
After a pause, he waved his hand, "All right, I’ve lured you out, said what needed to be said. Those warnings I issued, keep them firm in your heart, don’t end up deceiving yourself."
"Don’t worry, I’m no fool; what can and cannot be done, how to proceed, I am clear in my heart. Although Fellow Daoist’s goodwill, I acknowledge and cherish it."
With that, Chen Yan stood to take his leave.
"Hey! Want to stay here and hang out for a few days? I’m with a crew shooting ’Fearless’ later, I’ll play Brother Qiang, you can come play a fish killer?"
Chen Yan pursed his lips and walked away directly.
After exiting the hotel, he took out his mobile to dial.
"Zhao Shanhe? Does that client named Lin Qingquan have a Super VIP shooting group?
Hmm... hmm... he’s my friend...
Oh no no! Not discounting for him...
Increase the price! Yes, raise it!
What? Already increased? Already charged him heavily?
Well, he’s especially wealthy, the kind loaded with money but naive!
Raise it further! Raise it by fifty percent!"
