Chapter 62: really owe this little grandson too much.
“Early Golden Core, that’s pretty good.”
Lin Nantian actually felt some regret.
From the perfect quality of Lin Mo’s Golden Core, he had never seen a better one.
However, the spiritual energy within the Golden Core was not full, possibly due to rushing into Core Formation too hastily.
Lin Nantian imagined a series of scenarios for Lin Mo at the Sect.
In previous years, his little grandson always seemed to return wearing plain white robes.
It was likely he hadn’t had a good time at the Sect before.
He was oppressed by his fellow disciples.
Resulting in insufficient cultivation resources.
But the competition within the Sect was fierce, and he could only cultivate diligently, which led to this cultivation speed. Moreover, under pressure, he formed a Golden Core with insufficient cultivation resources.
Only after forming the Golden Core did his life improve, which is why he could dress so well this time.
If only he had paid more attention to his grandson in the earlier years, provided more cultivation resources, or hadn’t let him go to the Azure Spirit Sect to become a disciple.
Perhaps his grandson’s achievements would not have been lower than Lin Zhan’s at that time.
Lin Mo, on the other hand, was stunned to receive a significant amount of Regret.
Seeing Lin Nantian’s apologetic eyes, he became even more confused.
What was going on? He hadn’t done anything yet, what had this grandfather imagined?
Seeing his father frantically signaling him.
Lin Mo then took out a Pill from his storage ring and handed it to Lin Nantian: “Grandfather, this is a birthday gift I prepared for you.”
“This is…” Lin Nantian trembled as he took the Pill handed to him by Lin Mo.
He was a Pill Refiner himself, and with just a slight sensing, he knew it was a Longevity Pill of no low quality.
The others in the Lin Family couldn’t see clearly what Pill Lin Mo had taken out.
However, from Lin Nantian’s excited expression, it was clear that the Pill was extraordinary.
Finally, Lin Nantian confirmed the quality of the Longevity Pill and said with a trembling voice, “Little grandson, where did this fifth-grade Longevity Pill come from?”
Lin Mo originally wanted to admit that he had refined it, but Lin Zhan frantically signaled him again.
He roughly understood his father’s meaning.
After all, the Lin Family did not appear as harmonious as it seemed on the surface.
The people of his father’s generation were coveting the position of the Lin Family Patriarch, waiting for Lin Nantian to pass away.
His father could now cultivate normally, and in the future, he would gradually gain more power in the Lin Family, which had already encroached on the interests of many people in the Lin Family.
If his identity as a sixth-grade Pill Refiner were exposed, their sense of crisis would be even greater, and they would likely conspire to attack him or his family members in secret.
It didn’t matter if he himself was at the Azure Spirit Sect all the time, but his parents still had to live in the Lin Family.
Especially his mother, Gu Ningxin, was just a mortal who could not cultivate.
“I obtained it by chance in the tomb of a senior while I was on an adventure a couple of years ago.”
Lin Mo fabricated a reason, after all, in this cultivation world, obtaining inheritances through trials, falling off cliffs, or helping old men to obtain inheritances…
These things were very common, weren’t they?
Lin Nantian began his own rumination again.
Naturally, he knew the value of this fifth-grade Longevity Pill.
He could have sold this Pill and exchanged it for more cultivation resources for himself, but his grandson did not do so.
Now, on his 500th birthday, his grandson gave him this fifth-grade Longevity Pill…
Thinking of this, he truly felt that he had failed his grandson too much, damn it!
“Good, my grandson has great fortune, truly a great blessing for my Lin Family.”
Saying this, Lin Nantian ordered someone to bring a chair and place it next to his seat.
“Grandson, you sit next to me.”
Lin Mo was not one to dally and sat next to Lin Nantian.
He took in all the expressions of the Lin family members below.
Envy, jealousy, and a fleeting killing intent…
Just as he had predicted.
Lin Nantian seemed to have thought of something and said leisurely to the Lin family members present: “Since Lin Mo has returned this time, he will lead the team in the Demon Beast Secret Realm a few days from now.”
Leading the team again?
Lin Mo wanted to refuse, but then he saw a middle-aged man stand up and say excitedly, “Patriarch, the candidates for the Secret Realm were decided yesterday, isn’t it inappropriate to change it temporarily now?”
The speaker was the Third Elder of the Lin Family, Lin Xiao.
He was Lin Zhan’s fifth-generation collateral relative, a cousin.
The reason for his excitement was that his eldest grandson, Lin Zijian, had been decided as the leader for this Demon Beast Secret Realm yesterday.
And this eldest grandson of his was also the cultivator who had reached the Golden Core realm the earliest among the younger generation of the Lin Family.
Being able to lead the team in the Secret Realm would give him more opportunities to obtain good things or inheritances within the Secret Realm.
Lin Zhan had also recovered, and now, by having his child Lin Mo lead the team, Lin Zhan would undoubtedly be a significant obstacle in the competition for the Lin Family’s leadership.
Lin Nantian stroked his beard and pondered for a moment: “Lin Mo has lived in the Azure Spirit Sect since he was young, and his time adventuring outside is far greater than Lin Zijian’s. If he leads the team, other juniors will also be safer.”
Lin Mo had not expected his grandfather to be so discerning.
The original host, as the senior disciple, was often assigned to lead newcomers on trials.
Moreover, the original host was diligent and eager to learn, with experience far beyond his peers.
Coupled with the original host’s excellent fortunate encounters, he had already encountered several secret realms of various sizes outside. If he were to lead the team, he could indeed avoid a large portion of the dangers in the Secret Realm.
Lin Zijian himself glared at Lin Mo on the platform with extreme displeasure.
Lin Tian was good at reading people’s moods, and since he had already clashed with Lin Mo,
Upon learning that the other party was in the Golden Core realm, he first felt a chill down his spine.
Fortunately, Lin Changqiang had pulled him back last time, otherwise, his arm would have surely been broken.
However, at this moment, he could subtly annoy him. He then stepped forward and said, “Patriarch, we have always been more familiar with Cousin Zijian, and he has led many trials in previous years. We acknowledge his strength. Compared to Lin Mo… Uncle, who has just returned, I believe Cousin Zijian is more suitable to lead us into the Secret Realm.”
Lin Tian’s words resonated with many of the younger generation of the Lin Family.
Although many of them disliked Lin Tian, they preferred to trust Lin Zijian rather than Lin Mo, whom they had never met or interacted with.
A proud smile appeared on Lin Zijian’s face.
The Second Elder, Lin Hai, also chimed in: “Since the younger generation has decided that their leader will be Lin Zijian, it is best not to interfere with their decision. After all, this Secret Realm is an opportunity for them.”
This situation made Lin Nantian somewhat troubled.
Lin Mo was his biological grandson, and now that he knew his talent was so exceptional and he had given such a great gift on his 500th birthday.
He had already decided in his heart that he needed to start compensating this grandson.
Letting Lin Mo lead the team this time would be very good…
“The leadership position for this expedition will be given to nephew Zijian.”
Lin Mo smiled, but this smile seemed particularly arrogant in Lin Zijian’s eyes.
What did he mean by “giving”?
How presumptuous.
Both were in the Early Golden Core stage. Setting aside leadership abilities, he cultivated a Earth-grade cultivation technique, while it was rumored that the Azure Spirit Sect’s cultivation techniques for inner disciples were at most Xuan-grade.If they were to fight, he was confident he could cripple Lin Mo.
Just then, a steward entered and announced: “Patriarch, people from the Jiang Family and the Nangong Family have arrived.”
