Although Lin Jing was eager to modify the Longevity Turtle next, it seemed the Dragon Carp had successfully refined the Candlefire. As a result, he temporarily had no time to play with this Mechanical Turtle.
Preparing for the Dan Convention was the real priority!
Manually expelling the Longevity Turtle from the palace grounds, he sent it off to travel freely among the sixteen paths of Qingzhou and no longer cared for it.
As for what the Longevity Turtle might eventually bring back, he had no extravagant hopes at the moment, as long as it didn't commit suicide.
Even though his Illusion Technique could ensure it was not discovered by powerful beings, if it ventured into some perilous places on its own, like leaping into a poisonous swamp or a volcano, Lin Jing would be powerless.
...
Time flew by.
A year and a half later, in the time of the Celestial Essence Continent.
Lin Jing, as the Saint Heir, still resided within the palace of the Third Saintess.
