Chapter 428: The Whereabouts of Third Sister

Zhong State, Tianxian City

Lin Ying purposely came to find Xia Qingshan. With Xia Qingshan’s reputation growing, news of him quickly spread throughout the cultivation world, reaching Lin Ying in the distant Yun State.

Lin Ying cares deeply about Lin Die. The two have had a close relationship in the Lin family for over a thousand years. Since Lin Die went missing in the North State, Lin Ying has led the search for her for many years without any success.

However, the issue is that Lin Die is not dead; at least her Soul Lamp has not been completely extinguished.

Lin Ying has tried everything and now can only hope in Xia Qingshan.

"Taoist Friend Xia, I want to find someone."

"But it’s a close relative."

"Yes, my Third Sister, same father different mother, even closer than blood relatives."

"Okay."

Xia Qingshan nodded. Among those who came to seek his fortune-telling skills, many were looking for missing people. The world of cultivation was very dangerous, and many who went out on adventures never returned.

"How should we proceed?"

"Do you have something with that person’s aura on it?"

"Yes."

Lin Ying took out a hairpin. It belonged to Lin Die, carefully kept, still carrying Lin Die’s aura.

Xia Qingshan took a deep breath, looked over, and frowned. Lin Ying noticed and asked. Taoist Friend Xia, what’s wrong?

"Strange, your Third Sister’s destiny has been blocked."

"What does that mean?"

"Don’t worry, I have a solution."

Xia Qingshan also became serious, usually he could see through most destinies at a glance, usually just coins or tricks, but this time was different, he really encountered a difficult situation.

Xia Qingshan activated his spiritual awareness, dozens of spiritual talismans flew out, landing all around the room. He took out a round plate, placed it on the floor in the middle, embedded in the tiles, and placed a hairpin on the plate.

Then Xia Qingshan sat cross-legged on the floor, as he continuously cast his spell, fluorescent light flowed around, gathering in the plate, and the hairpin floated up.

"Destiny secret technique, go!"

As Xia Qingshan cast the final spell, a very strong energy suddenly burst out from the hairpin. Xia Qingshan reached out his hand to receive that energy. According to his learned secret technique, within these energies there would be infinite destinies, revealing everything.

"Boom"

"Clatter"

"Ah"

But the next moment, a powerful force burst through Xia Qingshan’s palm, causing it to break instantly, and Xia Qingshan let out a scream.

"Friend Xia"

Lin Ying quickly shouted, there were hardly any fortune tellers in the cultivation world, so she didn’t know what was going on, could it be that Xia Qingshan was playing tricks?

"I’m fine"

Xia Qingshan quickly withdrew his spell, the hairpin fell to the ground, and Xia Qingshan immediately began healing himself with spiritual power.

"Friend Xia, how are you doing?"

"Your Third Sister’s fate is being hidden by a powerful force. I don’t know if it’s from the human or monster tribe, or at least from Tao Achieving. With my current power, I can’t figure it out. The only thing I can tell you is that she is still alive and is located in the North."

"My Third Sister is the one who disappeared in the North State, she must be in the North."

Lin Ying was a bit discontent, thinking Xia Qingshan was overrated as a great solver, wasn’t he supposed to be a master at predicting things?

"Ahem, I am only at the Soul Changing level, I can’t predict those above my level."

"I am also at the Soul Changing level, if you can’t do it just say so, don’t waste my time. I’m leaving, goodbye."

"Wait a minute."

Xia Qingshan felt offended the moment he heard that, a man could bear anything being said but couldn’t take being told he couldn’t do something, no matter in what aspect.

"What’s up, you still have the nerve to ask for money?"

"I’ve made money off you today, do you have any spiritual treasure?"

"Do you still want to take my special treasure as payment?"

"No, don’t think too much. I mean, do you have any special treasure that I can borrow? I want to use the power of special treasure to calculate destiny."

"Okay, I’ll trust you one more time."

Lin Ying took out a flying sword. She had two special treasures on her, one was the Sagittarius Bow which she was reluctant to take out, and the other was a low-grade special treasure she crafted herself. When Yang Luo announced the Internal and External Refining Method, Yun State also killed the Soul Changing cultivator to refine special treasure, actually to cover up for Lin Dongyan, but the quality was low, only low-grade.

"Stand a bit aside, move further away."

Xia Qingshan held the flying sword and asked Lin Ying to move further away.

Then, he activated the formation again, this time using the special treasure flying sword to suppress the formation’s core. As the light flowed, the energy released by the hairpin eased a lot.

Xia Qingshan reached out again to receive those energies. The energies vanished as they entered Xia Qingshan’s body, and he began to refine them.

As the energies poured in, Xia Qingshan started smiling, as if he had the victory in his hands. But in no time, the flowing light suddenly became agitated.

"No, retreat."

Xia Qingshan’s face changed drastically, yelling loudly and quickly moving back.

"*Boom*"

The array, hairpin, and flying sword all exploded almost at the same time. Lin Ying didn’t retreat, but instead directly defended.

As the smoke cleared, Lin Ying raised a protective shield, rushed out from the ruins, grabbed Xia Qingshan and demanded. Liar, charlatan, where is my flying sword?

"I…"

Xia Qingshan tried to resist, but couldn’t move. He was no match for someone in the Void Achieving Period.

The loud commotion attracted the attention of the people around, who witnessed Lin Ying holding Xia Qingshan with one hand.

"Flying sword, where is my flying sword?"

"Dear guest, please calm down and release me."

"If you don’t explain today, I will make you stay here for it."

Lin Ying was furious, the spiritual treasure was precious, originally there were still some left in Yun State, but most of it was lost in Qing State. She only had one flying sword left, which was a huge loss.

"Listen to me, I saw it, I saw where your Third Sister is, I will show you by drawing it."

Xia Qingshan quickly said, and then he took out a blank jade scroll, imprinting what he saw onto it.

When Lin Ying took a glance, her anger rose even more, saying, "You are deceiving me. Do you know that this kind of terrain is everywhere in the far North of the North State?"

It’s understandable that Lin Ying was angry. Xia Qingshan’s drawing depicted a series of connected icebergs, a common sight in the North State without anything special about it.

At this, Xia Qingshan was completely stunned. He was about to explain but suddenly spit out blood, saying in horror, "A divine calamity."

"What a joke, trying to deceive and take advantage of others?"

In the story, Lin Ying quickly left Xia Qingshan behind, thinking that Xia Qingshan was up to no good.

"Excuse me, I will compensate you for your special sword."

Xia Qingshan was very scared and said a quick goodbye to Lin Ying before running away. Before Lin Ying could respond, a mysterious message reached their ears.

"Why are you staring? This person is a liar."

Lin Ying glanced back at the watching onlookers and shouted in anger before hastily leaving.

Lin Ying wandered through different paths and changed appearances a few times before entering an inn.

"Sixth Brother, what are you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same. What are you doing here?"

"I heard in Yun State that there’s a master fortune teller in Tianxian City who can predict anything. I came here to find out news about Third Sister."

"How are you?"

When Lin Jiang heard that Lin Ying was looking for Lin Die, he felt relieved and asked about the situation.

Lin Ying explained to him about going to see Xia Qingshan for a fortune-telling, and also didn’t forget to insult Xia Qingshan as a fraud and a trickster.

"Lin Ying, Xia Qingshan is not a fraud."

"Sixth Brother, you have been deceived too."

"No, I have been in Tianxian City for some time. I have seen him rise to fame with my own eyes."

Lin Jiang shook his head, there are many smart people in the cultivation world, if Xia Qingshan was a fraud, he would have been exposed long ago.

"Then what’s going on with me?"

"Let me see the jade slip you have."

Lin Jiang said, Lin Ying handed the jade slip to Lin Jiang.

Lin Jiang looked carefully and saw that the terrain on the jade slip was nothing special. This kind of terrain was very common in the far north, with dozens, even hundreds of similar ones.

"Brother, did I do something wrong again?"

"No, you didn’t."

"But I feel like you’re upset."

"I’m not upset. Hurry back to Yun State now, leave Third Sister’s matter to me."

"Sixth Brother…"

"Listen, Xia Qingshan’s matter is not that simple. You can’t handle it."

Lin Jiang said that Xia Qingshan has caught the attention of the higher-ups in the cultivation world, it’s very complicated. Lin Ying couldn’t handle it. Even Lin Jiang himself had to be very careful.

Lin Ying thought about it and agreed, but before leaving, she handed the Sagittarius Bow to Lin Jiang. With this treasure, Lin Jiang’s safety would be greatly increased, making him almost unbeatable within the Realm of Soul Changing.
