Chapter 170: How long can I live? I don't even know myself

Zhang Chulan spread his hands.

Naturally, he did not want to speak about the details of the matter; according to his guesses, the Heavenly Master's Succession indeed contained some great secret.

Even the Heavenly Master kept his mouth shut about such things and would not reveal a single bit; the meaning of not being able to speak was extremely obvious, and he had seen that something was wrong at the time.

Moreover, if the Heavenly Master's Succession were passed down, there might be problems on the Heavenly Master's side.

Regarding this, Zhang Chulan did not want to think too much, nor did he want to chat about it.

However, he turned his head to look at Lin Xuan; Zhang Chulan felt that Lin Xuan might know many things.

Although Lin Xuan was young, his strength was terrifying; he might be the true pinnacle of the current Outsider world.

In fact, Zhang Chulan could also perceive the results of the old trials.

Noticing Zhang Chulan's gaze, Lin Xuan smiled at Zhang Chulan, revealing his white teeth.

This smile gave Zhang Chulan a jolt.

Feng Baobao, on the other hand, moved to the side of the stone table, sat on another stone stool, and watched Lin Xuan with her legs crossed.

"Zhang Chulan really doesn't know some things, but you definitely do."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan's expression stiffened.

What kind of madness is Sister Bao'er having again?

"Hmm!"

Lin Xuan nodded upon hearing this, his expression calm.

He admitted it, he actually admitted it.

Zhang Chulan widened his eyes.

Wang Ye watched from the side, confused, while Lu Linglong sat back down with a curious look on her face.

"If we are to talk about this matter, we must start from that matter, but to talk about that matter, we must start from over a thousand years ago, but to start from over a thousand years ago, we must first explain the appearance of Outsiders."

Lin Xuan looked at Feng Baobao and said with a smile.

Feng Baobao first widened her eyes, then her eyes were filled with confusion.

"Why do I feel like you said something, but it seems like you didn't say anything at all?" A look of confusion flashed in Feng Baobao's eyes as she muttered to herself.

"Sister Bao'er, you aren't wrong."

Even a blind person could see that Lin Xuan was teasing Feng Baobao.

"So you're talking nonsense?"

Feng Baobao suddenly realized, raised her hand to knock on her own head, which made a hollow *bang-bang* sound, and then pointed at Lin Xuan.

"How can you call it nonsense? Didn't I tell you a lot of information?"

"When did you?"

Zhang Chulan was stunned, and Feng Baobao also looked hesitant.

"Do you mean that there is a matter that can be traced back to a very long time ago, possibly the origin of Outsiders?"

Wang Ye, however, understood.

"Look, Daoist Wang Ye understood."

Lin Xuan gave Wang Ye an approving look, then looked at the Feng Baobao duo.

"Then which matter are you talking about?"

Zhang Chulan asked cautiously upon hearing this.

"The matter you want to ask about is the matter I am talking about."

As he spoke, Lin Xuan stood up and paced a few steps with his hands behind his back.

The gazes of the other four people fell on Lin Xuan.

"What I want to ask is my..."

Zhang Chulan subconsciously wanted to speak, but then hesitated and did not say it.

"Your grandfather's matter?"

Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Zhang Chulan.

"Hmm!"

Since Lin Xuan had said it, Zhang Chulan did not deny it.

"That's right too!"

Lin Xuan smiled and nodded, looking warm and genial.

"Although the matter is somewhat complicated, the cause is not a problem; however, too many things have happened over these years, and as for what exactly happened, you will need to investigate that yourself.

Anyway, you participated in the All-Heaven Grand Assembly because of this, didn't you?"

"Then Bao'er..."

Zhang Chulan hesitated upon hearing this, looked at Feng Baobao and wanted to speak, but his voice stopped abruptly after saying two or three words.

Can't say, can't say.

Zhang Chulan warned himself in his heart.

"There is one thing you are not wrong about: Feng Baobao's matter and the matter you are currently investigating are indeed related, and the connection is quite deep."

"You knew all of this?"

Zhang Chulan widened his eyes upon hearing this and said in disbelief.

"I know!"

Lin Xuan looked as if it were a matter of course.

"Then aren't you curious?"

Zhang Chulan was even more incredulous upon hearing this.

"Curious about what? Do you know how long I can live after cultivating my Inner Elixir and smelting the Five Elements?"

Seeing Zhang Chulan's cautious and shocked expression, Lin Xuan's smile deepened.

"I don't know!"

Not only did Zhang Chulan shake his head, but Wang Ye and Lu Linglong also shook theirs in unison, all looking curious.

Feng Baobao widened her eyes even further.

"I don't know either!"

Lin Xuan spread his hands.

"Damn it!"

Wang Ye and Zhang Chulan stumbled, nearly falling over on the spot, and Lu Linglong's arm, propped on the stone table, slipped, nearly causing her to fall as well.

Feng Baobao's mouth opened slightly; it was unclear if she understood what had just happened.

"True Person, are you teasing us?"

Wang Ye gave a wry smile and said, feeling quite speechless.

"I'm not teasing you; after all, since I haven't lived that long, no one can say for sure, but living for a few hundred years is definitely not a problem."

Lin Xuan looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back, striking the pose of someone who finds life as lonely as snow.

A few hundred years?

Zhang Chulan swallowed hard and repeated these three words.

Wang Ye's eyes went blank.

"Senior Brother, are you serious?"

Lu Linglong also swallowed hard, her eyes wide and round.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Lin Xuan looked at Lu Linglong and nodded with a certain expression.

"Then what about me?"

Lu Linglong asked with an innocent look.

"By that time, Senior Brother will still look like this, but I will have become an old lady."

Thinking of this, an image of herself as an old lady seemed to appear in Lu Linglong's mind, and she suddenly became anxious.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan felt a jolt in his heart and snapped out of his shock.

That's right.

It is only Lin Xuan who is like this; he already possesses it, so he wouldn't care at all.

But what about the others?

Therefore, the secret of Sister Bao'er still needs to be kept.

But this person actually just said it out loud; is he not worried about others coveting it?

As soon as this thought crossed Zhang Chulan's mind, he raised his hand and gave himself a light slap.

This True Person achieved his results through his own cultivation.

According to what Xu San and Xu Si said, the path is right in front of everyone; if you have the ability, go walk it yourself.

If you can't make it through, you can't blame others.

Thinking of this, Zhang Chulan sighed.

"You? Then why don't you hurry up and cultivate? You've also been practicing our Complete Perfection heart technique, but I haven't seen you make much progress."

Lin Xuan looked at Lu Linglong and said.

Lu Linglong's expression turned awkward.

"Well, actually, I've become much more formidable in these four years; I've grown quite a bit stronger."

"Is that so? I don't believe it!" Lin Xuan shook his head upon hearing this.

"It's true, of course!"

Lu Linglong's attention was diverted, and hearing that her Senior Brother actually didn't acknowledge her cultivation, she became anxious.

"I really have become much stronger; of course, it might not be that obvious in Senior Brother's eyes."

Lu Linglong suddenly understood why Lin Xuan said that.

So, in Senior Brother's eyes, my progress over these four years is considered no progress at all?

That really is quite disheartening!

Wang Ye naturally saw that Lin Xuan was trying to change the subject, but he didn't say anything more.

"Then do you know where my family is?"

Feng Baobao suddenly interjected while Lin Xuan and Lu Linglong were talking, her face serious.
