Chapter 692 The Deal of Ancestor Burning Flame! A Great Perfection Sacred Weapon?!
However, in the end, the tiger skin that Jiang Lin was wearing, which could have been used to intimidate people from the Soul Clan and Spirit Clan, was not used.

After Jiang Lin had been quietly moving various unique books of the Burning Flame Valley for a month, and was about to leave with almost all the knowledge he had gathered from the Burning Flame Valley, Old Ancestor Huoyun felt embarrassed to continue trying to persuade him to stay. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared silently in front of everyone.

"Wait a minute, if you want to visit me, why leave?" An old voice rang out softly. Jiang Lin looked up and saw a white-haired old man wearing a fire-patterned robe appear in front of them.

The old man's aura was almost completely gone; even Jiang Lin's Chaotic Spirit Eyes could only detect a trace of energy fluctuations.

"Ancestor!" Upon seeing the newcomer, Ancestor Huoyun immediately greeted him with a respectful bow, his expression filled with excitement.

"Huoyun, you may leave first. I have something to say to these young friends." The person referred to as "Ancestor" by Huoyun was none other than the founder of Burning Flame Valley, and one of the strongest people in the world today, Burning Flame Ancestor.

"Yes, Ancestor!" Ancestor Huoyun took his leave without hesitation, leaving the space to Jiang Lin and the other three, as well as Ancestor Fenyan.

"Spiritual craftsman, Jiang Lin, greets Senior Burning Flame." After Ancestor Fire Cloud left, Jiang Lin slowly came to his senses and then cupped his hands to the white-haired old man in front of him.

"Little Fairy Doctor greets Senior Burning Flame!" Little Fairy Doctor bowed respectfully in the same manner.

"Lei Dong greets Senior." Lei Dong cupped his hands slightly, showing no surprise, as he had met Ancestor Burning Flame before and didn't mind.

The Lei Clan's agreement to let Lei Dong accompany Jiang Lin to Zhongzhou can be seen as a way of having Lei Dong support Jiang Lin.

Lan Hong, standing behind Jiang Lin, merely glanced at the Burning Flame Ancestor, raising an eyebrow slightly, but said nothing.

"This fellow Daoist from the Dragon Clan seems to have some issues with me?" Ancestor Burning Flame naturally noticed Lan Hong and said indifferently.

"It's just that your technique is somewhat familiar." Lan Hong looked directly into the eyes of the Burning Flame Ancestor, her gaze calm and unwavering.

Lei Dong glanced subconsciously at Lan Hong beside him, and that strange feeling returned. In Lan Hong's presence, Lei Dong always had the illusion that he was the junior.
"Oh?" Ancestor Burning Flame looked at Lan Hong intently for a long time, and finally smiled: "Since you can recognize the cultivation method I practice, then we are naturally destined to meet."

After saying that, Ancestor Burning Flame stopped paying attention to Lan Hong and looked at Jiang Lin, who had a calm expression: "Young friend, aren't you afraid of me?"

"Senior Fenyan isn't some kind of ruthless demon who eats people without spitting out bones. On the contrary, as the only person in the world who can cultivate to the point of being closest to the Dou Di realm without relying on bloodline, countless people admire him as much as the endless river." Jiang Lin praised him in an extremely rare manner.

Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Jiang Lin with a surprised expression. In her memory, Jiang Lin had almost never praised anyone.
"Hahahaha. I've never heard you praise anyone before. Is this really true?" Ancestor Burning Flame laughed, then stopped laughing and looked calmly at Jiang Lin, whose aura was one with heaven and earth.

"Senior knows a lot about juniors. Whether it's true or false, senior naturally knows." Jiang Lin threw the question back to Ancestor Burning Flame, which surprised Lei Dong and the others.

"Hahaha! As expected of that person's offspring. Speak, what brings you to see me?" Ancestor Burning Flame laughed and then asked bluntly.

The fact that Ancestor Burning Flame said this shows that he has a deep understanding of Jiang Lin.

"I'd like to make a deal with you, senior," Jiang Lin replied.

"A deal? You've come to me with this deal? Tell me, what do you want?" Ancestor Burning Flame smiled faintly and then asked.

"I want to have a chance to make a move, senior," Jiang Lin replied.

"My chance to make a move? My chance to make a move is very expensive." Ancestor Burning Flame remained noncommittal, neither directly refusing nor denying, but instead revealing a half-smile.

"How about a sacred weapon?" Jiang Lin looked into the eyes of the Burning Flame Ancestor.

"Hmm?" Ancestor Burning Flame's brows furrowed instantly. "What holy weapon?"

"The kind of sacred weapon that you're thinking of, senior," Jiang Lin said calmly.

"How can you do that?" Ancestor Burning Flame began to ponder in his heart, and finally sighed softly. Regardless of anything else, just looking at this condition, Ancestor Burning Flame found that his heart was a little restless.

"Why can't I do it?" Jiang Lin countered with a question to the Burning Flame Ancestor.

Lei Dong, Little Fairy Doctor, and the others could no longer understand what the two were talking about.

"Fine, that's fine." After pondering for a long time, Ancestor Burning Flame finally shook his head. He could not refuse the conditions proposed by Jiang Lin.

"Thank you, senior. May I ask how I can contact you?" Jiang Lin asked.

Swish.
A whooshing sound came from the air, and when Jiang Lin raised his hand, a Flame Spirit Jade appeared in his hand.

"If you need to contact me, use this to send a message. If you encounter danger, just crush it." After leaving these words, Ancestor Burning Flame dispersed and disappeared, leaving only Jiang Lin standing there looking at the Flame Spirit Jade.

"What exactly did you make a deal? Why can't I understand?" Lei Dong couldn't help but ask after the Burning Flame Ancestor left.

"Let's go, I'll explain on the way." Jiang Lin put away the Flame Spirit Jade, then led everyone away from Burning Flame Valley.

"Father, they're gone." After Jiang Lin and the others left, on a mountain peak in Burning Flame Valley, a man and a woman looked up at the direction Jiang Lin and the others had left, lost in thought for a long time.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't find a cure for you." Tang Zhen looked at his daughter, his expression somewhat forlorn.

"Father is fine. Burning Flame Valley is not suitable for being high-profile right now, so the current situation is quite good."

"Oh well, never mind."

"Senior Lan Hong, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?" After leaving Burning Flame Valley, Jiang Lin asked Lan Hong behind him.

“There’s no mistake. That old man Burning Flame’s technique does have some origins. Although he made some modifications himself, the overall structure remains the same. No wonder it feels somewhat familiar,” Lan Hong replied.

Lei Dong couldn't help but ask curiously, "What exactly are you two talking about? Can you explain it more clearly?"

Jiang Lin glanced at Lei Dong, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Young Master Lei, do you know the Xuan Emperor?"

Lei Dong was speechless. "What does this have to do with Emperor Xuan?"

How could he not know the Xuan Emperor? When he was in the Ancient Sea Secret Realm, he entered the Sacred Fire Domain and had many dealings with the Xuan Emperor. "The cultivation technique that senior just practiced is basically the same as the Xuan Emperor's," Jiang Lin explained.

"Hmm??" Lei Dong's eyes flashed: "You mean to say that Senior Fen Yan was also one of the Fire Seed Trialers?"

“Yes, that old man Burning Flame is quite old. He should be one of the earliest Fire Seed Trialers to come out of the Ancient Sea Secret Realm. As a pioneer, he may have received the inheritance of some fallen Great Saints in the Ancient Sea Secret Realm, which is why he is able to achieve what he has today,” Lan Hong said.

Lei Dong suddenly looked at Lan Hong: "Why does this fellow Daoist seem so familiar? And haven't we met before?"

However, Lan Hong smiled slightly and said, "When the time comes, you will naturally know."

Lei Dong raised an eyebrow slightly and then stopped asking questions.

"Yes, that's why when he appeared, I felt his aura was somewhat familiar." Jiang Lin nodded.

"Then what is a sacred weapon? Is it the same as mine?" Lei Dong asked.

“It’s different.” Jiang Lin shook his head.

"Huh??" Lei Dong was full of questions: "Then aren't we deceiving him? Don't be afraid, at worst I'll call my dad over. My dad is very strong. Although that Burning Flame Ancestor is at a higher level, my dad can still fight him to a draw!"

"You're really messing with your father a bit." Jiang Lin rolled his eyes at Lei Dong, then said with a complicated expression, "Sacred weapon. Since your father is strong, you can ask him if he needs a fully-developed sacred weapon."

"A sacred weapon? A fully-fledged sacred weapon?!" A sudden thought flashed through Lei Dong's mind, and his expression changed drastically. "Wait! You're not going to sell out the Spirit Clan, are you?!"

"Stop with the nonsense, do you want it or not?" Jiang Lin asked.

Lei Dong was silent for a moment, then looked up at Jiang Lin and said, "I need to discuss this with my father."

"Isn't Young Master Lei the future of the Lei Clan?"

"Don't provoke me, I still need to discuss this with the clan leader." Lei Dong gave a wry smile.

"But you're really bold. You actually dared to set your sights on the Spirit Clan. I heard from my father that the Spirit Clan is incredibly powerful defensively, and even if the seven great imperial clans attacked together, they wouldn't be able to take over the Spirit Realm."

"Sigh," Jiang Lin didn't speak, but just sighed softly.

"Let's go, we're going to the Soul Palace to take care of something." Jiang Lin shook his head and stopped talking, instead leading the group quickly towards the Central Continent Soul Palace.

"Palace Master, that spirit craftsman has arrived at the Heavenly Gang Palace."

In a certain eerie and secluded chamber, Soul Palace Master Soul Extinction looked at the intelligence report sent by his subordinates and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

"Palace Master, it's fine if that little guy comes, but what's with him bringing a Thunder Clan Battle Saint and a Dragon Clan Battle Saint?" Inside the Heavenly Gang Hall of the Soul Palace, the two Heavenly Venerables and the Deputy Palace Master expressed their dissatisfaction with Jiang Lin bringing people back to play.

"Have you found out who those two Dou Sheng are?" Hun Miesheng's expression didn't change. After thinking for a while, he asked.

"Let me check. What's going on?"

"what happened?"

"No, Palace Master, that Thunder Clan Battle Saint is the young patriarch of the Thunder Clan, Lei Dong!" The Soul Palace Grand Venerable was shocked after investigating for a while.

When did the Soul Clan start mixing with the Thunder Clan?

"Palace Master, how about we join forces to capture Lei Dong, and then have Lei Ying exchange the Tuoshe Ancient Jade for him?" The two Heavenly Venerables and the Deputy Palace Master of the Heavenly Gang Palace were all high-ranking members of the Soul Clan, so they naturally knew about the Soul Clan's plan.

"..." It has to be said that the plan proposed by the higher-ups of the Heavenly Gang Palace made Hun Miesheng slightly tempted.

However, Hun Miesheng quickly shook his head: "No, this will only alert the enemy. Regarding the ancient jade, all eight pieces are indispensable. If we cannot obtain all eight at the same time, the remaining pieces will become increasingly difficult to acquire."

Hun Miesheng thought for a moment. If they were captured by Lei Dong, Lei Ying would definitely hand over the ancient jade in exchange for them. However, this move would also be a blatant announcement to the ancient clans, the Yan clan, and other imperial clans that the Hun clan was going to collect the ancient jade! And once the ancient clans found out, the Hun clan's plan to obtain the ancient jade would become extremely difficult.

"When we can collect all the ancient jades in a short period of time, that will be the time for us to make our move." At this point, Hun Miesheng suddenly thought of the spirit craftsman who always wore the mysterious mask, and his expression became slightly dazed.

He sighed and continued, "That Spirit Craftsman is also an extraordinary person. Now he has gathered the young master of the Thunder Clan and the remnants of the Xiao Clan around him, which is already considered two ancient jades. Not long ago, I also heard that Gu Yuan's daughter once used the alias Xiao Xun'er and had a connection with the Spirit Craftsman. Adding the Spirit Craftsman himself, rounding up, that makes four ancient jades. One from the Soul Clan, leaving only the Flame Clan, the Stone Clan, and the Medicine Clan."

"Now that the Stone Clan's ancient jade has been recovered, the only ones whose locations are truly uncertain are the Medicine Clan and the Flame Clan. As for the Ancient Clan, as long as the Spirit Craftsman is still around, they will eventually encounter a good opportunity," Hun Miesheng sighed.

The Soul Clan spent so much time collecting the ancient jade, only to suddenly realize that the Spirit Craftsman had connections with the young masters of the Ancient Clan and the Thunder Clan. They felt utterly betrayed by fate. If they had known earlier... well, even if they had known earlier, the Soul Clan wouldn't have taken action.

Unless Lei Dong and Gu Xun'er appear together with the Spirit Craftsman, the Soul Clan will have to take action. They will then collect the ancient jade from the Xiao, Gu, and Lei clans all at once, and then use swift and decisive means to steal the ancient jade from the Yan and Yao clans. Only then will the most difficult part of the plan—collecting the ancient jade—be realized.

"Well, never mind. If the Spirit Craftsman reaches the Heavenly Palace, let me know so I can go and see him." After thinking for a moment, Soul Extinction decided to make contact with the other party.

"As ordered!"

However, Jiang Lin did not go to the Soul Palace to find Hun Miesheng, but instead went to the Mo Mansion, which was not far from the Soul Palace's Tiangang Hall.

"Uncle Ke'er, it's been a long time. You're still as cute and beautiful as ever."

Inside the reception hall of the Soul Palace's Mo Mansion, Jiang Lin, accompanied by Little Fairy Doctor and others, took their seats around the room. Hun Ke'er, dressed in black and wearing a light veil, sat in the main seat, gently picking up her teacup. She glanced at the composed Jiang Lin and Little Fairy Doctor, and couldn't help but mutter:
"Junior Nephew's ability to speak to people in a human language and to ghosts in a ghost language is still as good as ever." Hun Ke'er, whose aura was stable at the four-star Dou Zun level, looked at the crowd below and said calmly.

"I wonder what brings the young master of the Lei Clan to the Soul Clan as a guest?" Although Lei Dong was at the Dou Sheng realm, Soul Ke'er was not afraid of him and looked at him with indifferent and cold eyes.

Hun Ke'er has not yet awakened her Emperor Mark. She wants to wait until she reaches the Nine-Star Dou Zun level to awaken her Emperor Mark and then break through to Dou Sheng in one go.

"This Young Master Lei found his clan boring and deeply admired the Soul Clan's love for all living beings, so he wanted to learn more about it, which is why I brought him here," Jiang Lin said with a smile.
