 **Chapter 2825: The Old Fox Who Lies Without Blinking**

The three old ancestors came together, revealing their true forms here.

According to the Third Ancestor, when outside, they needed to use a special secret method to seal themselves, reducing the impact of time on them.

These people have lived for countless years, and as they approach the limit of their lifespan, every second is precious to them.

The longer they live, the less they want to die.

Among the three, Lin Moyu had met Gu Cang from the Cold Water Holy Land.

The other two, Lin Moyu had not seen their true forms.

One appeared to be a middle-aged woman, with a beautiful appearance and a dignified and noble demeanor, a mature beauty.

However, Lin Moyu could still sense her age; no matter how she looked, the aura of time was hard to hide.

Most female cultivators, no matter when, care about their appearance.

The other was a spirited old man, although his hair was white, he still exuded an aged aura, but his vitality was still intact.

Gu Cang laughed loudly, "It's still good here with you, no need to seal ourselves."

The other old man followed, "Unfortunately, such a treasure place, there are only a few on the entire Origin Continent, can't be envied."

The Third Ancestor chuckled, "No need to envy, if you can kill me, you can become the master of this space."

Gu Cang's smile froze slightly, then he laughed even louder, "Third Ancestor, you must be joking."

The old ancestor of the Ancient Lotus Holy Land also said, "This joke is not funny at all."

The Third Ancestor laughed and said to Lin Moyu, "Let me formally introduce you to the old ancestor of the Cold Water Holy Land, Gu Cang, Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm."

"The old ancestor of the Ancient Lotus Holy Land, Fire Lotus Ancestor, Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm. Back then, Fire Lotus Ancestor was the most beautiful in the Southern Continent, pursued by countless geniuses."

When the Third Ancestor said this, it wasn't exaggerated, as if stating a fact.

Not only the Third Ancestor, but the other two old ancestors also showed no surprise.

Lin Moyu could see that Fire Lotus Ancestor was indeed extremely beautiful back then, perhaps due to time, her appearance had changed somewhat, but traces could still be found.

Fire Lotus Ancestor said, "It's a pity that among those who pursued me back then, there was no Second Ancestor, otherwise I wouldn't be alone, only seeking the Great Dao and ignoring the mundane."

The Third Ancestor chuckled but didn't respond to Fire Lotus Ancestor's words.

He continued to introduce, "This is the old ancestor of Duantian City, the Dongfang family, Wuding Ancestor, Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm."

Lin Moyu greeted the three old ancestors.

The Third Ancestor's introduction seemed simple, but it conveyed a lot of information to Lin Moyu.

The most important thing was that all three were Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm, purely from the realm, they were the highest decision-makers of the three forces.

Gu Cang laughed, "It seems Lin Xiaoyou's injuries have improved a lot."

Lin Moyu said, "Thank you, Senior Gu, for your concern. After the Third Ancestor's treatment, my injuries are no longer serious. With some rest, I will recover."

Gu Cang said, "The Third Ancestor's methods are naturally reliable. If Xiaoyou needs anything, feel free to ask me."

The Third Ancestor teased, "Old Gu, do you think I wouldn't have what you have?"

Gu Cang laughed, "Of course, as long as it's something on the Origin Continent, the Third Ancestor can surely obtain it."

He was thick-skinned, not denying that he was trying to win over Lin Moyu.

For no other reason than that Lin Moyu himself was worth winning over.

If Lin Moyu could truly join the Cold Water Holy Land, then the Cold Water Holy Land might have another Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm ancestor in the future.

For a holy land, this was an irresistible temptation.

Fire Lotus Ancestor said, "Since Lin Xiaoyou has recovered, can you tell us the method this time? Of course, we won't let Lin Xiaoyou suffer."

Lin Moyu bowed to Fire Lotus Ancestor, "For this matter, Senior might need to discuss it with the Third Ancestor."

After saying this, he glanced at the Third Ancestor.

The meaning was clear, he couldn't make the decision, the Third Ancestor could.

The Third Ancestor chuckled, "Three of you, I need to mention something first."

"According to our agreement, each time two geniuses can enter, as the host, I can also have one designated spot."

"This time, Lin Xiaoyou went in, and I paid a certain price for this spot."

"I mentioned before that if Lin Xiaoyou gained anything, I would have the right to handle it first."

"You haven't forgotten this, have you?"

The three nodded simultaneously, and Wuding Ancestor said in a hoarse voice, "That's right, it was indeed agreed upon at the time."

The three of them had guessed what was going on, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At that time, the Third Ancestor proposed to add a person, and to get their agreement, he paid a price.

But the Third Ancestor never did a losing deal, and naturally, there would be corresponding demands.

The demand was that Lin Moyu's gains, he would have the right to handle them first.

Of course, it also meant that if the method to break through was obtained, it would be shared with them.

But this sharing wasn't free.

The Third Ancestor chuckled, "Given your status, you wouldn't go back on your word, right?"

"The method to break through to the Dao Sovereign was obtained by Lin Xiaoyou and has been handed over to me. If you want to obtain this method, you'll have to come to me..."

Fire Lotus Ancestor said, "The Third Ancestor is indeed a businessman, we can't match him in doing business."

Gu Cang said, "Just name your price."

The Third Ancestor continued, "I haven't finished speaking, don't be impatient. The item is already in my hands, and it won't go anywhere."

"We've known each other for many years, and you know my temperament."

"Besides me, Lin Xiaoyou also knows the method to break through, but the part he knows is sealed by me."

"When Lin Xiaoyou reaches the Dao Sovereign Ninth Realm, the seal will naturally be lifted. Before that, no method can break the seal."

"If anyone tries to forcibly break the seal, not only will they fail to get the method, but it will also lead to Lin Xiaoyou's death, and I will naturally sense it."

"You know my methods."

The Third Ancestor's tone remained calm, but for some reason, it carried an invisible killing intent, chilling to the bone.

The Third Ancestor wasn't joking; he was serious.

The three old ancestors present had no doubt about the Third Ancestor's words.

With their understanding of the Third Ancestor, if he said it, he would do it.

Although they were all old ancestors, they knew there was a gap between them and the Third Ancestor, and they didn't want to offend him.

As long as they could get what they wanted by paying a price, there was no need for conflict.

Lin Moyu knew the Third Ancestor said this to protect him.

This was what they had discussed earlier, allowing him to extricate himself.

If not said this way, those old ancestors would surely trouble him later, trying to get the method from him.

Now he was relatively safe, not absolutely, but generally not a problem.

Fire Lotus Ancestor said, "We naturally won't trouble Lin Xiaoyou. Given our status, we wouldn't do such a thing."

The Third Ancestor laughed, "Fire Lotus Sister naturally wouldn't, but some people are hard to say."

Lin Moyu knew the Third Ancestor was implying someone else, not the three present.

The Third Ancestor said, "That's the first thing. Now for the second."

He took out a large gemstone, with distinct edges, no specific shape.

Its shape seemed to be constantly changing, initially with distinct edges, then suddenly becoming smooth and translucent, very peculiar.

But when the three old ancestors saw this gemstone, their expressions changed slightly.
