147: Lin Xuanbo's Compensation

Since the Moon Toad Rabbit's Cultivation Realm reached the Late Stage of the First-Order, the Luck value increased by the Luck Aura has become even greater.

Now, the item obtained from daily sign-ins has become the [five-hundred-year spirit plant cultivation fluid], which means Lin Yongmao can Cultivate a thousand-year spiritual plant in two days.

Lin Yongmao has successively cultivated the [Blood Qi Vine], [Red Jade Ganoderma], [Red Berry Tree], [Crimson Thorn Vine], [Nether Spirit Bamboo], and [qingling bamboo] to a thousand years.

The bottle obtained from today's sign-in just happened to benefit this old meritorious servant of the Lin Family—the seven-hundred-year Cloud Mist Tea Tree.

A moment later, the Cloud Mist Tea Tree underwent a transformation.

The top of the Cloud Mist Tea Tree began to emit wisps of Spiritual Qi-filled mist, and many new green shoots emerged from the original old trunk, with the entire plant also growing a size larger.

More and more tender green growth appeared, and upon careful sensing, it could be discerned that these were thousand-year cloud mist tea leaves.

“This… this turned into a thousand-year one just like that?” Han Yuying’s face was filled with disbelief.

Lin Yulian merely trusted Lin Yongmao, but she never expected Lin Yongmao could actually cause such a miracle.

This was conjuring a thousand-year spiritual plant out of thin air.

Lin Yongmao looked at the two with confidence and said, “From now on, this old trunk is the Thousand-Year Cloud Mist Tea Tree, it’s just a pity it hasn’t developed a soul.”

This place is not like Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff; without the influence of the World Tree’s [Grass and Wood Have Spirits] talent ability, spiritual plants still don't develop souls even after reaching a thousand years.

Han Yuying smiled wryly, then said, “It will be difficult for me to take care of this tea tree from now on. I haven’t Breakthrough to a Third-Order Spiritual Plant Master yet, and I’m afraid of improper management!”

Lin Yongmao scratched his head, having indeed forgotten this point. He comforted her, “It’s alright, Mother. Cloud Mist Tea is very easy to care for; as long as it has enough cloud crystal, it can grow smoothly and doesn't require much tending.”

A Third-Order Spiritual Plant Master would only be icing on the cake, at most accelerating its growth.

“However, the Family truly needs to find the Legacy of a Third-Order Spiritual Plant Master; otherwise, Mother’s and my Spiritual Plant Master Realm will be difficult to improve further,” Lin Yongmao mused.

Lin Yulian clapped her hands happily and said, “Our Family now also has a thousand-year spiritual plant. The output of thousand-year cloud mist tea can completely be exchanged for more resources. The next stage will definitely be a period of great development.”

Although Han Yuying was somewhat worried, her heart was filled with more joy. What Spiritual Plant Master wouldn't want to possess a high-aged spiritual plant?

Lin Yongmao cultivated a thousand-year cloud mist tea for her to care for, and she was happier than anyone.

“Mother, Aunt, I’ll be taking my leave first. Grandfather has something to discuss with me, and I still need to go to his place.”

“Go on, go on!”

Han Yuying’s eyes had long forgotten her son, filled entirely with the Thousand-Year Cloud Mist Tea Tree.

...

Lin Family Ancestral Hall.

Inside the ancestral hall, incense burned, and many spirit tablets of Lin Family Cultivators were displayed, all being the ancestral tablets of several generations of the Lin Family.

The one responsible for sweeping was none other than Lin Yongmao’s third uncle, Lin Yukai.

Lin Yukai Cultivated an evil Cultivation Technique, and coupled with his murderous actions against fellow clansmen, he was crippled of all his Cultivation and confined here.

The Family was still benevolent, giving him a chance to live out his remaining years in peace.

As Lin Yongmao entered the ancestral hall, he saw Lin Yukai slumped on the floor, wiping it:

“Third Uncle!”

Lin Yongmao still greeted him.

Lin Yukai’s face was as calm as an ancient well. He carefully looked at Lin Yongmao, then said, “Lin Yongmao, are you here to mock me?”

Lin Yongmao shook his head. He said, “Third Uncle, what happened between us is in the past, and you have received your deserved punishment, haven’t you?”

Lin Yukai had been reflecting in the ancestral hall for such a long time that his heart was already filled with remorse. He regretted why he had to get involved in the struggle between Lin Yongmao and Lin Yongrong.

As a result, he was merely used as a pawn by Lin Yongrong.

What surprised him even more was that Lin Yongmao turned out to be so promising, rapidly achieving Foundation Establishment in a short period and even becoming the Family's Second-Order Spiritual Planter and Second-Order Alchemist.

But there is no such thing as a regret pill in the world, not even in the world of Cultivation.

If he were given another chance to choose, he would unswervingly stand by Lin Yongmao’s side.

Lin Yongmao’s emotions were very stable; he would neither forgive this third uncle nor ruthlessly kill him.

Let this old man, whose life was flickering like a candle in the wind, live out his remaining years here!

Anyway, he wouldn't cause him any harm anymore.

“Hehe~ All of this truly should be blamed on Third Uncle…”

Lin Yongmao interrupted him, directly saying, “I’m here to find Grandfather. Where is Grandfather?”

Upon hearing about his own father, Lin Yukai’s face flushed with guilt. He said, “Father is still in the Immortal Cave behind the ancestral hall. You can go directly.”

“Thanks.”

Lin Yongmao walked straight towards the Immortal Cave behind the ancestral hall, no longer looking at Lin Yukai.

...

Lin Yongmao did not rashly enter the Immortal Cave, but gently tapped on the Immortal Cave’s Restriction.

“It’s Yongmao, come in!”

The Immortal Cave’s Restriction was opened, and a strong Spiritual Qi fluctuation surged out. Lin Yongmao then walked directly inside.

Lin Xuanbo’s Immortal Cave was set up with a small Second-Order Spirit Gathering Formation, so the Spiritual Qi inside was very rich.

As soon as Lin Yongmao walked in, he felt all his pores open, greedily absorbing the abundant Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in this place.

Once he becomes a Formation Master, Lin Yongmao decided to also set up such a Spirit Gathering Formation, covering the entire Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff was already very abundant, and with the addition of the Spirit Gathering Formation, it would definitely be icing on the cake.

“Grandfather~”

Lin Yongmao saw this “young” Grandfather in the Immortal Cave’s reception hall.

Lin Xuanbo should have taken a Medicinal Pill similar to a beauty-preserving one, maintaining his appearance in his twenties, looking not like an old man over two hundred years old, but like a young man in his prime.

“Sit down! Yongmao!” Lin Xuanbo waved his hand, signaling Lin Yongmao to sit down.

Lin Yongmao found a spot and sat down. It was a very simple-looking stone stool.

“Yongmao, the Family treated you unfairly in the past, and I hope you won’t hold a grudge against us. You replaced Yongrong to go to Qinglan Sect, and your third uncle and Yongrong successively attacked you. These are all our faults,” Lin Xuanbo said directly, getting straight to the point.

Lin Xuanbo, though hidden in the Lin Family, was not ignorant of worldly affairs; he would know this information with just a little inquiry.

He was very afraid, afraid that Lin Yongmao would become estranged from the Family.

Lin Yongmao touched his nose. Hadn't the matter been resolved? Although he had resolved it privately himself.

As for becoming estranged from the Family, Lin Yongmao had never really considered it, because his System had to be bound to the Family.

If he were to encounter something similar to Lin Yongrong again, Lin Yongmao would not tolerate it and would decisively eliminate it.

Lin Yongmao said, “Grandfather, the matter is in the past.”

“Although the matter is in the past, Grandfather must compensate you,” Lin Xuanbo said.

Although Lin Xuanbo guessed that Lin Yongrong’s death might be related to Lin Yongmao, he showed no sign of it and had no intention of asking.

“Compensate for what?” Lin Yongmao’s eyes were filled with anticipation.
