76: Alchemist inheritance

“The Lin Family’s Legacy?”

Lin Yongmao had sensed it intentionally or unintentionally, but he truly didn't know what the Lin Family's deepest secret was.

Since his Uncle-Grandfather said such words, he believed the Lin Family would not be in danger for a short period.

Besides, at this moment, beast tides had erupted in various regions of Qingyang.

The Qinglan Sect should be suffering the most severe disruption from the beast tide, so they would likely be too busy to deal with the Lin Family.

As long as Lin Yongmao had enough time, he believed both he and his Family could develop.

“Wang Bufan, Chen Dahao, Shi Lei, you three are dead!”

Lin Yongmao's gaze was firm; he would avenge his former self!

As long as he had the chance, he would personally kill these three Qinglan Sect Disciples and avenge the life-and-death grudge from back then.

What if the Qinglan Sect was backing them? What if they were Heavenly Spiritual Root Cultivators?

He didn't believe he would fall behind others.

“Yongmao, rest assured, the Family will not let you suffer any more grievances.”

Lin Yuheng, fearing Lin Yongmao might overthink, spoke to comfort him.

Lin Yongmao nodded heavily, and after exchanging pleasantries for a while, he returned to his home, where Han Yuying was waiting for him.

...

At Lin Yongmao's home.

Han Yuying had closed her doors to visitors, spending this time consolidating her Foundation Establishment Stage Realm.

Last time, Han Yuying’s father, Han Mi, sent a second-order Medicinal Pill, the Solidifying Yuan Pill.

It was originally intended for his son-in-law, but it ended up with Han Yuying, helping his daughter consolidate her Cultivation.

Thanks to this Solidifying Yuan Pill, Han Yuying's Early Foundation Establishment Stage Realm was completely stabilized.

As Lin Yongmao entered the house, he saw Han Yuying's figure and called out, “Mother~”

Han Yuying's face lit up with a smile upon seeing her son return. Coupled with Lin Yucheng's absence, she had been quite stifled these past few days.

Her chatterbox immediately opened: “Son, you're finally back. The Cloud Mist Mountain had a beast tide these past few days, and I was so afraid something would happen to you.”

Lin Yongmao smiled helplessly: “You know Thousand-Pinnacle Cliff is protected by a Formation. I'm fine there; you don't need to worry about me.”

Han Yuying sighed: “It's a pity your mother doesn't dare to go out casually, for fear of causing trouble. Our Family already has two Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators on the surface. If I were added, it would definitely arouse the Qinglan Sect's suspicion.”

Lin Yongmao also sighed softly and told Han Yuying about the situation he had just encountered.

Han Yuying's eyes widened: “What? Second Brother's Foundation Establishment Stage identity is also known to the Qinglan Sect?!”

Han Yuying's face showed worry: “The Qinglan Sect won't let our Lin Family off easily.”

Lin Yongmao comforted her: “Mother, all major forces are currently facing the disruption of beast tides. The Qinglan Sect is stretched thin and has no time to deal with us.”

Han Yuying said: “You must seize the time to Cultivate. Only with sufficient strength will you have a certain say.

If you are a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, then you will at least have a certain ability to protect yourself.

Even if the Family no longer exists, you can still have the courage to venture out on your own.”

Lin Yongmao nodded, but he didn't think that way.

The Lin Family was his Foundation. If he left the Lin Family, his God Farmer Sign-in System might become ineffective.

Before facing a life-or-death crisis, it was impossible for him to leave the Lin Family and venture out alone.

Lin Yongmao said: “Mother, rest assured, I have been diligently Cultivating recently, without the slightest slack.”

He changed the subject: “Oh, by the way, this secret art must be useful to you. You've always been afraid to go out casually because of your Cultivation Realm. This Breath Concealment Art can conceal your Cultivation Realm. Even if the other party is two major Realms higher than you, they will be unable to detect your Cultivation.”

Lin Yongmao took out the Jade Slip recording the Breath Concealment Art and handed it to Han Yuying.

Han Yuying's hands trembled slightly: “This is too precious. Compared to ordinary secret arts for concealing Cultivation, this Breath Concealment Art is truly amazing.”

Han Yuying browsed the information in the Jade Slip with her Divine Sense while exclaiming.

The surprises her son brought her were truly increasing.

“When Father returns, he must also learn this secret art,” Lin Yongmao instructed.

For the rest of the time, Lin Yongmao stayed at home, enjoyed a delicious dinner, and spent a night there before leaving.

Before leaving, he learned from his mother, Han Yuying, that the Family had recently exchanged for the First and Second-Order Legacy of an Alchemist.

And this Legacy was in the Family's Scripture Pavilion.

Lin Yongmao climbed to the peak of Cloud Mist Mountain, where the Family's Scripture Pavilion was located. It was a two-story blue-brick bungalow, simple and natural, with an ancient charm that added a touch of mystery.

The one responsible for guarding the Scripture Pavilion was Lin Yongmao's Second Uncle-Grandfather, Lin Xuanzhong.

Lin Xuanzhong was also a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator of the Family, and he had already Cultivated to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Only by reaching such a Cultivation could he undertake the important task of guarding the Scripture Pavilion.

Whether it was a Sect force or a Family force, the Scripture Pavilion signified civilization and Legacy.

As long as the Scripture Pavilion remained, the Family's lineage could continue.

It was just a pity that Second Uncle-Grandfather seemed to be running out of Lifespan. This aura of old age could even affect others, making one sigh at the relentless passage of time.

A Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator's Lifespan was two hundred years, seemingly twice that of an ordinary person, but in reality, it was just a flick of a finger.

Cultivators spent too much time in arduous Cultivation, and mechanically doing one thing would make them forget time.

Lin Yongmao thought to himself: I must plant spiritual plants that increase Lifespan, or refine Medicinal Pills that increase Lifespan.

This was one of the Family's Legacies. If Second Uncle-Grandfather died, the Family's backbone would lose another member.

However, these were all future matters. Lin Yongmao's most important task at present was to increase his Cultivation and enhance his own strength.

“Yongmao is here~”

Lin Xuanzhong's face showed a gentle and benevolent smile, smoothing out the wrinkles on his face.

Lin Yongmao respectfully bowed: “Greetings, Second Uncle-Grandfather!”

“Are you here to exchange for a Cultivation Technique or a secret art this time?”

Lin Yongmao slowly spoke: “This time, I want to exchange for the First and Second-Order Legacy of an Alchemist.”

Lin Xuanzhong said: “You little fellow, your news is quite well-informed. This was exchanged from the Zhu Family some time ago, and it cost quite a bit!”

He then asked in confusion: “I remember you passed the Family's First-Order Spiritual Planter assessment. Why are you planning to do Alchemy now?

Although Hundred Arts of Cultivation can assist Cultivators in improving their strength, it's taboo to be too diverse. A Cultivator's energy and Lifespan are limited, and precious time should not be wasted on this.

This is also a bloody lesson from my own experience. If someone had guided me back then, perhaps I would still have a chance…

Never mind, let's not talk about that.

I remember you also have Water and Wood Spiritual Roots. Without Fire Spiritual Roots, you can't become an Alchemist.”

Facing the elder's earnest teachings, Lin Yongmao could only listen patiently.

But he was different. He had a System. Let alone two, he could create conditions to learn every one of the Hundred Arts of Cultivation.
