Chapter 14
"Zhou family is talking nonsense."
"No one believes their bullshits."
In Lin Die's courtyard, Lin Ying was cursing at Zhou family, believing that they were talking nonsense. She thought old man Zhou Quan probably never even fought against the Iron Wood Demon Wolf, so there was no injury or defeat - they simply betrayed the Lin family.
"Old Ten, forget it, Dad must have a plan"
"Yes, Lin Ying, don't get too excited"
(Translated by Gravity Tales ????)
Lin Jiang also nodded, he didn't believe the Zhou family's words either. But even if he didn't, now was not the time to act. The Lin family's foundation was still unstable. Among the Lin family descendants, there were only four in the Foundation Building Period, not capable.
Lin Batian probably saw this too, that was why he didn't blow up and chose to tolerate it.
"I will remember this grudge, it's not that easy to resolve"
Lin Ying was still very angry. Blood was thicker than water. Several Lin family juniors had died, they were all her younger siblings and nieces. This grudge must be avenged.
"We will talk about the grudge later, let's focus on healing first"
"Third Sister, take good rest. I'll go back first. Lin Ying, do you want to rest at home or come with me to Spiritual Peach Mountain Villa?"
"Let me go and check on Mom"
"Let's go together."
Lin Jiang nodded, and then returned to Spiritual Peach Mountain Villa with Lin Ying. Zhuang Rong found out that the two families wouldn't fight and felt relieved.
She didn't care about seeking revenge or not, she only worried about her children. The Zhou family was not weak, if they really fought, the Lin family would suffer losses.
Lin Batian knew Lin Ying was at Spiritual Peach Mountain Villa, so he sent some medicine for her injuries and instructed her to take good care of herself.
Lin Ying's injuries were not serious, she just needed rest. It was estimated that she would fully recover in two to three months at most. She was currently lively and active.
Over the years, he had bought many spiritual talismans. Besides the Rain Talismans used for farming, there were also some expensive talismans for killing enemies and protecting oneself. With Lin Jiang's financial resources, he definitely couldn't buy them in large quantities. Therefore, drawing talismans himself was the best choice.
······
"Hey, do you want to learn symbol magic?"
When Lin Ying heard that Lin Jiang wanted to learn to draw talismans, her eyes brightened instantly because she was a Talisman Maker.
Lin Batian was strict with his children. When they reached the Foundation Building Period, they were required to choose a craft to learn among Pill, Talisman, Item, and Formation. Lin Die chose alchemy, while Lin Ying chose to learn symbol drawing. They had been studying for a few years and had made some progress.
"Jiang-er, symbol magic is a good choice. Your grandfather was an excellent talisman maker. His skills reached the middle grade of the second level. Your dowry was earned from the symbols he made. If you want to learn, I can pass on the symbol magic that your grandfather left behind."
Zhuang Rong also agreed. Her father was able to provide her with a generous dowry because he was an outstanding talisman maker.
Although Alchemy was the most profitable among Pill, Talisman, Item, and Formation, if one became proficient in the other three crafts, they would also never lack money.
"Thank you, Mother. It would be great if my sister can teach me the basics."
Lin Jiang didn't decline. The cultivation methods in the world of immortals were tricky. It was almost impossible to learn them without a foundation. The requirements for talent were too high.
Lin Ying's ability to learn was also due to Lin Batian's efforts. The Lin family specifically recruited a talisman maker as an advisor and paid a hefty sum to persuade him to teach Lin Ying the real skills.
"Hehe, no problem. But remember, if you don't listen along the way, you'll get a spanking. As a master, it's my duty to punish you."
Lin Ying laughed loudly and then pretended to be profound, assuming the posture of an old sage, gesturing towards Lin Jiang and causing Zhuang Rong to burst into laughter.
After that, Zhuang Rong also took out the talisman making experiences left by her father from the bottom of the box and gave them to Lin Jiang. She didn't give these things to Lin Ying, which made Lin Ying unhappy. However, she quickly felt better because she wasn't very good at drawing symbols. She preferred cultivation and the exhilaration that came with breakthroughs in her realm.
Lin Jiang bought talisman paper, a talisman pen, and talisman ink, and started learning how to draw symbols with Lin Ying. He studied for two hours during the day and practiced for two hours by himself at night. Because of this, Lin Jiang delegated most of his other tasks, like farming, to Lin Baohua. For things that mortals couldn't do, he would buy spiritual talismans as substitutes.
It was unclear if it was a family hereditary talent, but Lin Jiang's talent for drawing symbols was clearly higher than Lin Ying's. In just half a month, he successfully drew his first spiritual talisman, while Lin Ying took a whole year back then.
This made Lin Ying even more unhappy. How come she didn't inherit this talent from the same parents?
While Lin Ying was recuperating for three months at the Spiritual Peach Mountain Villa, Lin Jiang had already learned how to draw five types of spiritual talismans. It took Lin Ying six years to learn how to draw the same five types of spiritual talismans.
