NOVEL NEXT Chapter 37: Family Experience, One Against Four!
Lin Xunxian's words left those present with twitching corners of their mouths. Three months ago, Lin Xunxian was one of the last to emerge from the Pool of Shedding Mortality.
With the boost of his Dao Heart and his proficiency in martial arts, he directly condensed a Seventh Rank spiritual root. Coupled with the Grand Ancestor's python seed, this guy broke through to the peak of the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm in one go.
Three months had passed, and Lin Xunxian's cultivation had reached the peak of the Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment Realm. Perhaps, with a little enlightenment supported by his cultivation, he might break through to the late Foundation Establishment Realm at any time.
Such a cultivation speed, even within the Lin Family, was absolutely extraordinary.
Lin Xunxian was actually complaining about his cultivation speed being too slow! Was this even human language?
Of course, at the head of the hall, Lin Xiuqi and Lin Shanhai exchanged a glance and smiled slightly. Both of them could understand Lin Xunxian's thoughts. This kid had never been one to settle down since childhood; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to set foot in the realm of martial arts.
Perhaps ordinary cultivators thought that staying in the family, lacking no resources and lacking no training environment, was simply a paradise on earth. But this did not include Lin Xunxian.
Whether it was martial arts or the path of immortality, what Lin Xunxian aspired to was always a higher, more exciting view. To witness the magnificent scenery of various places in the world of cultivation, to spar with disciples of different forces, to explore higher-level Dao – this was the lifelong pursuit of Lin Xunxian.
"Very well, constantly remaining within the family for cultivation, sheltered under the family's protection, will never allow you to become a qualified cultivator.
"Your Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and I have indeed been discussing how to arrange the younger generation like you to leave the family and venture out on your own.
"Moreover, we have quite a number of Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Lin Family. The surplus has reached an abnormal level, so it would be beneficial for the family if you all disappeared from public view."
"That's great, Father, I can also go to Baoshan Prefecture with Brother Xunxian!"
At the head of the hall, Lin Ran suddenly became excited and thrilled. Ah, Baoshan Prefecture! Just hearing her Second Uncle talk about it made her extremely eager for the excitement there.
With Nascent Soul-level forces suppressing, the gathering of cultivators from all over Liuyan Province and even the surrounding provinces was such a magnificent scene in the world of cultivation. Which young cultivator wouldn't long for it?
"Members of the family under thirty, Xunxian, Yingjie, Mengyuan, Haoyu, and other Qi Condensation junior disciples, they can all go out for training. It's only you who can't," Lin Xiuqi said with a serious expression.
Lin Ran looked defiant, "Why not?"
Lin Xiuqi looked at Lin Ran and said, "If you leave, who will bring food to your Grand Ancestor?"
Lin Ran: "…"
With a bitter expression on her little face, Lin Ran was left speechless, and she couldn't find a reason to argue. Among the family, Grand Ancestor was the most powerful, and she had that awareness. Moreover, if she really left Azure Heaven Mountain, she might not be willing to part with Grand Ancestor.
Seeing this, Lin Xunxian and the others smiled, somewhat amused. At ordinary times, these juniors wanted to bring food and wine to Grand Ancestor. However, they were all blocked single-handedly by Lin Ran. Now, they were experiencing a taste of their own medicine.
"Xunxian, I will have the family prepare some supplies and relevant maps for you all. When the time comes, you can travel together to Baoshan Prefecture. It's good to have someone to watch over you. As for after you arrive in Baoshan Prefecture, whether you gather or disperse, it's up to you," Lin Xiuqi said as he looked at Lin Xunxian.
Lin Xunxian nodded, saying, "I'll follow the family's arrangements."
Lin Xiuqi nodded with satisfaction, adding a cautionary note, "Outside is different from home. Don't trust everything blindly. If you encounter any trouble, return to the family. Even if the family can't help you, Grand Ancestor is there. This place will always be your home."
"We understand," Lin Xunxian, Lin Yingjie, Lin Mengyuan, and Lin Haoyu all replied in unison, their expressions moved.
Originally, they had some guilt in their hearts because they had broken through Foundation Establishment with the family's support but hadn't repaid the family. Lin Xiuqi's words now deepened their sense of unease. They even thought about not going out and staying to guard the family, contributing to the family's well-being.
Of course, they thought this way now, but Lin Xiuqi wouldn't agree to it. As he said, there were too many Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Lin Family, whether it was Lin Shanhai's information network or Lin Xunxian and the others' training. All of it could be considered a means of concealment.
Furthermore, a cultivator who hadn't experienced the world of cultivation was always a fledgling. Naturally, Lin Xiuqi didn't want the Lin Family's juniors to become narrow-minded. Understanding the vastness of the world was essential to realizing one's own insignificance.
"Oh, and Xunxian, if you happen to meet Wu Dao, pass on a message for me," Lin Shanhai suddenly said.
"Second Uncle, what message?" Lin Haoyu asked curiously. He was Lin Xiuru's son, 21 years old, and Lin Ran's cousin.
"Tell him that if he truly has no other option, the Lin Family welcomes him to join us," Lin Shanhai said with a serious expression.
At the head of the hall, Lin Xiuqi raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. In the past three months, a major event had occurred in Tianyuan Prefecture. Wu Dao of the Wu Clan had restored his spiritual root, broke through Foundation Establishment, and the first thing he did after returning to his family was to challenge a Foundation Establishment senior in a life-and-death battle.
Naturally, the four Foundation Establishment seniors of the Wu Clan couldn't agree. So Wu Dao, renowned as the most likely genius to break through to the Golden Core Realm within a hundred years in Tianyuan Prefecture, took on the four Foundation Establishment seniors alone and killed one of them.
As a result, the outside world finally learned that Wu Dao had not only restored his spiritual root but also advanced it to a high-grade Seventh Rank spiritual root.
