Chapter 34
“I didn’t expect you to have such opportunities, Xuan’er,” Lin Baye said with a beaming smile.
“Hmph, how can the mere Chu family compare to the true dragon of the Lin family?”
The Fifth Elder was even more delighted, unable to contain his smile. With the Lin family possessing a second-tier pill recipe, he was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary. In the future, the Lin family could nurture a talent for alchemy without incurring huge costs by sending them to other factions.
“Having you in the Lin family is truly a blessing for us,” the family head Lin Zhan said, his expression complicated but filled with relief. “If Yan’er had even a tenth of your talent, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”
Although Lin Yan had already regained his talent, he did not make a big deal of it. Lin Zhan knew Lin Yan had regained his talent but was unaware of his cultivation speed, thinking that Lin Yan had at most broken through to the third stage of body tempering.
Hearing this, Lin Xuan remained humble and composed, his gaze unchanged as he calmly said, “Cousin Lin Yan will naturally have his own opportunities. I believe his talent will definitely recover, and he will surely be able to recreate the glory of the Lin family.”
Lin Zhan shook his head at this, thinking Lin Xuan was just being modest. He knew very well what level his own son was at.
After that, Lin Xuan chatted briefly with a few elders of the Lin family and then took his leave. His purpose in coming was to deliver some items to his grandfather, and with so many elders present, anyone who wasn’t foolish would properly allocate the resources he provided.
Watching the figure in white departing, Lin Baye’s thoughts were tumultuous; he felt both gratified and a bit lost, eventually letting out a long sigh.
“Elder Baye, why are you sighing? You have such a good grandson; that’s your fortune,” the Second Elder said irritably. If his grandson were half as sensible as Lin Xuan, he would be thrilled every night.
“You wouldn’t understand,” Lin Baye stroked his pale beard, feigning profundity.
“Elder, I wonder if Lin Xuan is already married. I have a distant niece who is quite good-looking and comes from a noble family. Perhaps the two young people could meet when they have time?”
“Haha, Elder, don’t listen to the Third Elder’s nonsense. My granddaughter has grown up under your eyes, and she’s gentle and generous, also a disciple of the Dayan Academy. I think when Qing’er returns from the academy, the two young people can get to know each other well.”
“Are you not afraid your beard will be pulled out by your granddaughter?”
“Not at all! My granddaughter would be thrilled! That girl Qing’er has long told me that she has feelings for Lin Xuan. It’s beneficial for young people to interact more.”
“I heard that Lin Xuan is together with that girl Lin Yanran?”
“So what if they are? There aren’t many geniuses in our Lin family; how can we not take a few more wives to honor our bloodline?”
“Exactly!”
Lin Xuan, who had already left the courtyard, nearly stumbled upon hearing the voices coming from the hall.
This was definitely not something to be said!
…….
In the back mountain of the Lin family, a thin yet resolute figure was panting heavily. This thin figure was none other than Lin Yan, who had disappeared for quite a while.
After plundering the Black Tiger Village together with Lin Xuan, he began his closed-door training. With fourth-tier heavenly materials and fifth-tier earthly treasures, combined with the guidance of the mysterious old man in his mind, his strength had skyrocketed, directly breaking through from the fourth to the ninth stage of body tempering, just a step away from the Qi Gathering realm.
Following the guidance of the old man in his mind, Lin Yan quickly successfully comprehended the feeling of Qi and broke through to the first stage of Qi Gathering.
Bang!
With a soft sound, Lin Yan felt all the fatigue in his body disappear, and a stream of refreshing energy flowed through him, filling his small body with immense power.
“I finally broke through to the Qi Gathering realm!”
Lin Yan’s small face was filled with joy as he couldn’t help but laugh loudly. Although his Qi Gathering stage at sixteen couldn’t compare to his monstrous cousin, it was more than enough compared to others in the Lin family.
It had only been a month since his talent was restored, and in that month, he had broken through from the second stage of body tempering to the first stage of Qi Gathering. Who could match this speed?
At that moment, Lin Yan even shouted, “Who else!”
“Xiao Yan, I know you’re very excited now, but please don’t get too carried away,” the old man in Lin Yan’s mind immediately doused his excitement with cold water.
“Xiao Yan, you must understand that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens. With such progress on your part, your cousin’s progress is likely not much less than yours.”
“To catch up with your cousin, you still have a distance to go.”
Lin Yan rolled his eyes, feeling disgruntled. After all the hardships he had gone through, he finally broke through to the Qi Gathering realm before the Lin family’s coming-of-age ceremony, becoming the third genius of the young generation to reach the Qi Gathering realm. He was looking forward to slapping those who once looked down on him right in the face.
“Teacher, now that I’ve broken through to the Qi Gathering realm, can I learn alchemy?”
Lin Yan eagerly asked, not forgetting that his mysterious teacher was a highly regarded alchemist. After all, an alchemist who had lived for millions of years couldn’t be of low rank, could they?
He had been yearning for this prestigious profession on the continent for a long time. This was his only opportunity to surpass Lin Xuan!
Of course, that was what Lin Yan thought.
“Alchemy? Since you want to learn so much, we can start tomorrow.”
Lin Yan stood up excitedly and asked, “Really?”
“Is it not real?”
“I’m not going to deceive you, you little brat.”
“But…”
The voice in Lin Yan’s mind seemed to be teasing.
“But what?”
Lin Yan’s small face showed impatience.
If he could just grab that old man, he would really want to give him a good thrashing for being so suspenseful.
“You just need to prepare the essential items for an alchemist,” the old man said.
Suddenly, a lot of information appeared in Lin Yan’s mind. He glanced over; these were all basic herbs, but… beast fire, an alchemy furnace?
“Let’s go find Dad!”
“Borrow some money!”
Without hesitation, Lin Yan jumped up. Although alchemists were wealthy, the investment was truly jaw-dropping. He had long spent the low-grade spirit stones he obtained from the auction of pills and was now broke, having to go find his father, the family head.
