Cultivation System: Stronger with Age Chapter 71 - 58: Demonic Genius Stunned by Yin Talisman, Charming Chief Steward Presents Treasure Elixir (Please Subscribe)_2

Lin Xuankong, who was in the crowd, was taken aback.

"Impossible! If it’s a Nine-Seal Talent, why hide it?"

Wu Liangye took a large gulp from his wine gourd, his face slightly flushed. "Such a world-shocking Nine-Seal Talent, comparable to the talent of our Ancestral Founder! If revealed, the Sect would undoubtedly spare no effort in cultivating him!"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing Wu Liangye’s words. He was right; which genius wouldn’t want the best resources?

Ma Jiang thoughtfully rolled the dice in his hand and said, "Maybe this person prefers to keep a low profile, not one for flaunting, and just likes to cultivate quietly. Or perhaps this Nine-Seal Genius doesn’t lack resources at the moment!"

Lin Xuankong looked at Ma Jiang in surprise.

"Sigh, who is this genius, anyway? Why be so low-profile? If I had such an earth-shattering talent, I’d want the whole world to know! This peerless genius is making a terrible mistake! A huge mistake! An extraordinary mistake!" Lin Jiao suddenly lamented.

Hearing Lin Jiao’s words, Hu Shuo, who was kneeling before the Fourth Jade, his already crimson face turning an even deeper red with excitement, roared, "Can’t you see the Stewards and Grand Chief Stewards are discussing important matters here? This is something that could influence our Yin Talisman Sect for centuries, a monumental event that could even overhaul the world’s power structure! What are you blabbering about? Get back!"

Seeing his master had spoken, Lin Jiao could only grumble and shrink to the back of the crowd.

Ma Jiang, however, shook his head. "Steward Hu, I think Steward Lin Jiao has a point."

He looked at Lin Xuankong. "Xuankong, what do you think?"

Lin Xuankong:

In the crowd, Ma Rusong’s expression was somewhat dazed. He was clearly greatly shocked by the fact that the Sect had hidden a Nine-Seal Peerless Genius. Very soon, he thought of something and then couldn’t help but look at Lin Xuankong, silently thinking:

At this moment, Zhao Yufei, who was extremely proud of her "Eight Gates Celestial Eye" Talent, couldn’t help but show a trace of disappointment on her coolly beautiful face, much like Zhou Zhiruo’s. No matter how proud she was, she knew that a Nine-Seal Peerless Talent was something that even a hundred of her combined could not hope to match...

Zhao Yufei’s eyes flickered, her emotions incredibly complex.

Unconsciously, her gaze fell on Lin Xuankong, who stood out with his silver hair, and she couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

At this moment, the Charming Grand Steward Jiang Yuran’s eyes suddenly flashed with a sly light, and she said, "Alright, I have a plan. You may all disperse for now!"

"But remember one thing: the appearance of the second mark on the Fourth Jade, and the possibility of a Nine-Seal Genius in the Sect, must not be leaked. After you return, you must keep it confidential for now, even from your spouses and families! This includes those new disciples outside; make sure they keep their mouths shut. They are not allowed to leave the assembly hall a single step for the time being!"

The many Stewards looked at Jiang Yuran with some confusion. But since it was the Grand Steward’s order, everyone could only bow and comply. Even the extremely excited Grand Chief Stewards who had been kneeling before the Fourth Jade had to stand up and comply.

After all the Stewards and Grand Chief Stewards, who were wildly speculating, astonished, and extremely excited, had dispersed, Lin Xuankong also left the assembly hall. He exchanged greetings with Ma Jiang and Han Lu, who were still trying to guess who the genius might be, and then headed towards his own residence.

Just as he was a short distance from the assembly hall, a disciple hurriedly approached. "Steward Lin, Grand Steward Jiang wishes to see you!"

Lin Xuankong was a bit surprised.

In the hall of the Grand Steward’s Tower, an incense burner sat on a rune-decorated sandalwood table, wisps of smoke continuously rising from it. The fragrance filling the hall was invigorating, clearly indicating that the incense in the burner was of considerable value!

Lin Xuankong walked to the sandalwood table, cupped his hands, and said, "Grand Steward!"

Jiang Yuran frowned at him for a few moments, then suddenly sighed. "I can’t change the list for the Demon Slaying Conference. After sending a Flying Eagle Letter to my father, there has been no reply... You might indeed have to participate in the extremely dangerous Demon Slaying Conference!"

Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but look up at Jiang Yuran.

He thought about it and nodded. "Since joining the Yin Talisman Sect, the Sect has treated me well. Representing the Sect in the Demon Slaying Conference is only right and proper!"

Seeing his natural expression, seemingly without any resentment, Jiang Yuran nodded slightly. She then opened a Jade Box that was placed by the incense burner on the table. "Joining the Demon Slaying Conference requires arduous battles for over twenty days. As the Grand Steward, I cannot fight in your place, but these three Turtle-Poria Elixirs are a small token from the Sect and myself. They can help replenish your Qi Blood during battles and grant you a better chance of survival!"

"The other five will each get one, and you get three. These are all that remain from the two batches of elixirs my father successfully refined last year; otherwise, I would certainly have given you more!"

"Thank you, Grand Steward!" Lin Xuankong looked up in slight surprise.

Turtle-Poria Elixirs could continuously replenish large amounts of Qi Blood and greatly extend one’s lifespan; it was the elixir he most coveted within the Yin Talisman Sect.

A hint of expectation appeared in Jiang Yuran’s eyes. "Giving you two extra Turtle-Poria Elixirs isn’t for free. I have a task for you!"

Lin Xuankong said, "Grand Steward, please tell me."

Jiang Yuran continued, "You were present today when the Soul-Extinction Celestial Thunder mark appeared. That was the second mark... Our Sect is undoubtedly hiding a genius with Nine Seals and Eighteen Thunder Roots.

"For the entire Yin Talisman Sect, this is a matter of utmost significance, one that could affect our thousands of disciples and the Yin Talisman Sect’s destiny for the next millennium! This genius is incredibly important to the Yin Talisman Sect; they are our hope for becoming a top-tier Major Sect!

"What I need you to do is find a way to locate this hidden genius. You previously captured the Flying Thief. Although you kept some details hidden and I don’t know exactly how you found him, you managed to find that incredibly elusive Flying Thief. Therefore, I believe you have a way to find this genius too!

"I hope you can find him soon, preferably before the Demon Slaying Conference. If you succeed, there will be a hefty reward. Whatever you desire, I can help you obtain it!"

After speaking, Jiang Yuran’s eyes shone, her charming face slightly flushed with excitement, her gaze filled with intense, fervent hope.

Lin Xuankong was somewhat speechless.
