Chapter 41: The Spirit of the Mountain: Xuejiao! Five Hundred Thousand Spirit Stones

Lin Yingjie smiled at the three. He was still quite curious about their origins, and the Uncle had briefly informed him about the Hongshan Lin Family.

To his surprise, their Lin Family, once ordinary people from a family of Foundation Establishment cultivators, had progressed. Lin Yingjie glanced at Lin Ji, who was at the late Foundation Establishment Realm, and was quite impressed.

Upon Lin Ji's signal, Lin Shimin and Lin Qing followed him into Azure Heaven Mountain. However, their eyes remained fixated on Lin Yingjie. They had yet to fully comprehend that Lin Yingjie, a young man in his early twenties, was already at the Foundation Establishment Realm. It was hard to believe that the Lin Family of Azure Heaven Mountain had such a formidable presence.

Watching the group depart, Lin Xiong and Lin Huaishu exchanged a glance and casually chuckled. Over the past few months, they had encountered numerous similar reactions.The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

"Lin Xiong, is that thing you told me about last time really reliable?" Suddenly, Lin Huaishu looked at Lin Xiong, his expression serious.

"Don't worry, Brother Shu, I stumbled upon that Xuejiao by accident, and I've double-checked many times. I guarantee there's no issue," Lin Xiong reassured, patting his chest.

"It's not that I don't trust you, but this concerns whether or not we can break through to Foundation Establishment. Naturally, we need to be cautious," Lin Huaishu explained, before continuing, "Do you think Grand Ancestor would like that Xuejiao?"

Lin Xiong hesitated for a moment before responding, "Xuejiao is known as the spirit of the mountain, and according to the records in the books, its flesh is a heaven-sent gift.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiong looked towards the direction of the rear mountain lake. In his eyes, there was a hint of awe as well as a deep sense of pride in being a Lin Family disciple.

"Alright, enough talk. Be cautious; the walls have ears. In the current family, those who have reached the ninth Layer of Qi Condensation and desire the Grand Ancestor's Python Seed reward are not few," Lin Huaishu said with a slightly warning tone.

Lin Xiong, upon hearing this, immediately tightened his expression and remained silent. He could share this information with Lin Huaishu because they had been childhood friends and trusted each other. Moreover, Lin Xiong understood his own capabilities; capturing Xuejiao on his own was nearly impossible and might cause it to flee deep into the Mountains of Beasts.

...

"Hongshan Lin Family Lin Ji greets to the Lin Family Head," in the Lin Family's main hall, Lin Ji and his two companions performed a slight bow and showed their respect to Lin Xiuqi.

Lin Xiuqi nodded, rose from his seat, and responded with a family greeting, "We are of the same clan, so there's no need to be overly formal. You've come a long way; take a short break first."

Seeing this, Lin Ji and his companions breathed a sigh of relief. With Lin Xiuqi acknowledging their shared lineage through the family greeting, the prospects for their plea of assistance seemed more promising. Throughout their journey, they had truly come to understand the profound heritage of the Lin Family on Azure Heaven Mountain.

Cultivators in the later stages of Qi Condensation were everywhere, and their sheer numbers left Lin Ji's group questioning their existence.

Lin Shimin and Lin Qing, the two most outstanding young disciples of the Hongshan Lin Family, had now lost their arrogance entirely. In the Lin Family, they had no reason to be proud.
