Chapter 58: Past Events of the Lin Family!
Lin Mo did not linger in White Emperor City.
The main reason for buying the Three-leaf Green Ganoderma was not to anger his Junior Sister.
He did indeed need to give it to someone, and that someone was his own biological father.
On the way to Sky Star City via Sword Riding, Lin Mo found a deserted cave and set up a Magic Array to prepare for alchemy.
Through idle lottery draws, his alchemy skill had already reached level six, which corresponded to the ability to refine level six Pills.
Pills like the level five Longevity Pill were well within his capabilities.
Using Spiritual Energy, the Starfire Violet Copper Furnace slowly rose into mid-air. Lin Mo, following the sequence, used Bitter Vine as a medicinal guide, then added Yin Condensing Grass in a specific proportion.
Under precise temperature control, the Yin Condensing Grass slowly transformed into a pale blue liquid.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Mo added the auxiliary ingredient Bone Snow Jade Bone Ginseng and then increased the heat.
Ultimately, Lin Mo obtained three perfect grade five Longevity Pills.
Placing the Longevity Pills into his storage ring.
Lin Mo then began refining the Jade Clear Regeneration Pill, with Three-leaf Green Ganoderma as the main ingredient.
The Jade Clear Regeneration Pill was also a level five Pill.
However, the refining process took longer than that of the Longevity Pill.
After approximately six hours, which was the next morning, Lin Mo finally finished refining one Jade Clear Regeneration Pill.
He meditated to adjust his condition and couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that alchemy was truly a skillful endeavor.
…
Arriving outside the gates of Sky Star City via Sword Riding, Lin Mo still had to enter on foot.
According to the original host’s memories, the Lin Family’s location was in the northern part of Sky Star City.
When Lin Mo arrived at the Lin Family’s residence, a guard-like figure approached him respectfully. “Young Master, what business do you have at the Lin Family?”
Lin Mo smiled, not surprised by this.
He had joined the Azure Spirit Sect when he was ten years old and lived on Azure Bamboo Peak. He only returned occasionally, so it was understandable that these guards didn’t recognize him.
Moreover, the original host used to wear very simple and unadorned clothes when he returned.
Not like now, exuding such elegance and an air of nobility at first glance.
“Young Master, if you are looking for Miss Qingqing, I can help deliver a message for you.” The Lin Family guard who stopped him also assumed he was a young master from another aristocratic family, speaking to him without any disrespect.
Qingqing…
Lin Mo sifted through the original host’s memories.
After recalling for a long time, he finally remembered the name.
When he was a child, before he joined the Azure Spirit Sect, there was a little girl at the Lin Family who always clung to him.
At that time, Lin Mo was already twelve, and the little girl was only seven or eight, seemingly his niece.
“Is someone looking for me?” a clear and melodious voice interrupted Lin Mo’s thoughts.
Not far away, a graceful and ethereal young woman walked over.
“Miss Qingqing, isn’t this Young Master looking for you?” Seeing the young woman approach, the guard respectfully asked.
Lin Qingqing sized up Lin Mo, finding him exceptionally handsome, as if he had stepped out of a painting.
However, she had no recollection of him.
Seeing Lin Qingqing shake her head and say she didn’t recognize him, the guard looked at Lin Mo questioningly. “Young Master, then who are you looking for?”
Lin Mo smiled. “I’m not looking for anyone. I’m going home.”
He revealed his Lin Family token of identity.
Both the guard and Lin Qingqing were stunned.
They were certain they had never seen Lin Mo before.
Yet, the token was undeniably from the Lin Family.
As Lin Mo was about to enter, Lin Qingqing was about to call the guard to stop him when an excited voice came from behind.
“Mo’er!”
A woman, seeing Lin Mo, ran towards him excitedly.
Recognizing the person, Lin Mo bowed respectfully. “Mother.”
This woman was his mother, Gu Ningxin.
“Silly child, why are you so formal with Mother? Come in quickly.” Gu Ningxin took Lin Mo’s hand and led him inside.
Hearing Lin Mo call Gu Ningxin “Mother,” Lin Qingqing’s long-dormant memories gradually became clear.
She remembered that she had a favorite older brother when she was little.
Later, for some reason, this brother disappeared.
Only when she asked her father did she learn that the brother was actually her uncle, who had become a disciple of an immortal sect.
Meanwhile, after following his mother into the Lin Family, Lin Mo attracted the attention of many Lin family members.
Most of the younger generation didn’t recognize him, but those of the same generation as his mother all remembered that Gu Ningxin had a child.
However, they simply watched, and no one stepped forward to speak to him.
Lin Mo noticed that the gazes of those around him were somewhat indifferent, but he wasn’t surprised.
After all, how many cultivators truly looked down upon ordinary people?
The original host’s mother was an ordinary person without a Spirit Root.
His father, on the other hand, possessed the rare Heavenly Spirit Root.
In the cultivation world, talent was always the most valued attribute.
Naturally, his father, Lin Zhan, became the most beloved child of his grandfather, Lin Nantian.
Of course, to continue such a good bloodline, his grandfather had always hoped his father would find a woman with a Heavenly Spirit Root as his Dao Companion.
Unexpectedly, during his travels in his youth, his father brought home Gu Ningxin, an ordinary person with no Spiritual Energy, claiming he would marry no one else.
This infuriated Lin Nantian.
But what could he do?
Lin Zhan was his most talented and beloved child.
His father had successfully formed his Core at nineteen, achieving a seventh-grade Golden Core, and by twenty-two, he had reached the Golden Core mid-stage.
At this pace, Lin Zhan had hope of reaching the Soul Transformation stage.
Lin Nantian was extremely excited, seeing the opportunity to return to the upper realm Lin Family.
However, in the years after his father married Gu Ningxin, his cultivation stagnated.
After an investigation, he discovered that his son’s body had accumulated hidden injuries from high-level Dem that severely impaired his cultivation speed.
And those hidden injuries were precisely what Lin Zhan had acquired after his trials and bringing Gu Ningxin home.
The once-genius plummeted into a waste whose cultivation was difficult to advance.
Lin Nantian was utterly disappointed, and Lin Zhan and Gu Ningxin began to be unwelcome at the Lin Family.
Even after Gu Ningxin gave birth to Lin Mo, who had a Dual Spirit Root, Lin Nantian’s attitude never changed.
As soon as the original host became aware of how poorly his parents were treated at the Lin Family, he voluntarily joined the Azure Spirit Sect at the age of twelve, under True Lord Yuehua of Azure Bamboo Peak.
Lin Mo’s parents thus gained a backing.
It could be said that the original host’s kindness towards everyone on Azure Bamboo Peak, from his Master to his Junior Brothers and Sisters, was for these reasons.
Firstly, he was inherently kind.
Secondly, he wanted to maintain good relationships within the sect.
This was so that if his parents ever encountered difficulties, he could leverage the Azure Bamboo Peak’s connections to help.
Thinking this, Lin Mo could only sigh faintly.
The original host was too naive.
Hoping for help from his Master? Or from his Junior Sister?
It would be a miracle if they didn’t devour him.
After returning to the Lin Family this time and settling family matters, it was time to consider leaving that disgusting Azure Bamboo Peak.
