Can't afford any more complications.

Moreover, this person is merely an Honored Guest Elder of the Profound Sound Pavilion, not a devoted member, and considering his usually cautious nature, it's not impossible to resolve this feud.

Therefore, he didn't mind bringing up the matter directly, taking the opportunity to resolve this misunderstanding. Otherwise, being constantly watched by a Tier Three Array Master would make anyone uncomfortable.

If it were the Long Family of old, they naturally wouldn't fear and would just arrange for someone to deal with it.

"Mr. Lin, actually, it was a misunderstanding back then. Who would have thought the spirit ship would encounter the Demon Cult, causing losses to you? Our Long Family is willing to take full responsibility."

"Oh, a misunderstanding?"

With a smile on his face, Lin Chang'an was exchanging secret communication with the other party.

At the same time, Lin Chang'an's eyes flickered. Naturally, he and the Long Family had nothing good to say to each other, their enmity ran deep.

But now might be an opportunity; the Long Family still possesses a piece of Profound Celestial Immortal Vine Withered Leaves.

"Haha, our Long Family has an array on a spirit ship, previously damaged by the chaos caused by a Tribulation Cultivator. This time, I'm afraid we'll have to trouble you."

On the surface, the middle-aged Core Formation Cultivator of the Long Family spoke helplessly, but to resolve this misunderstanding, he was prepared for significant expenditure.

"In that case, let's first assess the array damage, and the rest I am willing to make up with Spirit Stones."

For that Tier Three Middle Grade Demon Pill and also to obtain a certain treasure from the Long Family, Lin Chang'an had to pretend to hesitate for a moment and secretly accepted the goodwill of the Long Family.

After all, they were all Core Formation Cultivators; few would willingly form a deadly feud, it's human nature.

Since the Long Family said they would compensate him, he naturally didn't mind reclaiming his loss first.

...

"Mr. Long!"

Watching Lin Chang'an's transaction with the Long Family, Xu Lingfeng couldn't help but frown and speak.

And this Core Formation Cultivator of the Long Family also did not want to engage in conflict with the current Profound Sound Pavilion.

In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, with similar strength, it's not just about fighting and killing, but also about social dealings.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Liu, after this trade meeting, how about the three of you come to my Long Family for a visit?"

The middle-aged Core Formation Cultivator of the Long Family spoke with a full-faced smile of courtesy, clearly indicating that this trade meeting was also a signal of goodwill from the Long Family to the Profound Sound Pavilion.

Among the three main forces of Five Dragons Island now, though the Long Family is declining, it is still the strongest.

The Profound Sound Pavilion wouldn't foolishly engage in a death struggle with the Long Family; it would be better for both sides to befriend each other and first expel another force out of the picture.

"In that case, we would be honored to accept."

This time, Liu Ruyu directly smiled and nodded, as she knew her Sect Leader also did not intend to start a war with other forces at the moment.

The Profound Sound Pavilion now needs development.

Yet, in the eyes of outsiders, especially spies from other forces, seeing this made them secretly alarmed.

It seems that Five Dragons Island is about to enter a period of peaceful development.

The Long Family wants to catch their breath, and the Profound Sound Pavilion needs development. The weakest force doesn't even need mentioning, as no one can beat them.

At present, none of the three major forces want to start a war, but those most eager to stir up internal strife are some external forces.

Presently, Xu Lingfeng frowned, looking at his junior sister, questioning whether he was impulsive enough to impact the larger situation, fearing he might cause trouble.

But Liu Ruyu impatiently sent a secret message explaining that this Brother Xu seems unlikely to cause trouble but that innate pride might influence the situation.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Liu."

Lin Chang'an also communicated secretly with the two about his past grievances with the Long Family's spirit ship, as he is now an Honored Guest Elder of the Profound Sound Pavilion.

Some things are better spoken out to avoid causing trouble for himself.

Furthermore, since Profound Sound Pavilion is inclined to negotiate with the Long Family, reclaiming part of his loss is only right.

To this, Xu Lingfeng became suddenly enlightened, while Liu Ruyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Core Formation Cultivators, to reach this stage of cultivation, are often driven by personal interests.

"Mr. Long, I have not long entered Core Formation, and previously the Profound Sound Pavilion did have some wood attribute Core Formation techniques, but they were indeed unsatisfactory.

However, the Long Family stands out in the Five Dragons Island Sea Region, with a heritage far surpassing ordinary Sects..."

Lin Chang'an smiled while communicating secretly, with an evident implication: a Tier Three Middle Grade Demon Pill is not enough; additional compensation is needed.

In just a short moment, the Long Family and Profound Sound Pavilion began to exchange goodwill.

As the trade meeting continued, Lin Chang'an's demand for a Tier Three Middle Grade Demon Pill, although astonishing, was swiftly accommodated by the Long Family with a Tier Three Top Grade Material.

Everyone realized then that despite its decline, the Long Family is still unchallenged as the foremost power of Five Dragons Island.

At such a trade meeting, some traded for what they needed and were naturally elated, while others did not obtain their desired items and shook their heads in regret.

However, this grand event at Five Dragons Island was just beginning, and after this, there will still be a larger trade meeting.

Therefore, the Core Formation Cultivators present were not too disappointed and instead looked forward to the final Core Formation Cultivators' trade meeting at the event's conclusion.
