Chapter 42: The Fortune of the Hongshan Lin Family and the Legend of the Rainbow Maiden

Inside the main hall, Lin Ji and his two companions from the Hongshan Lin Family casually enjoyed some spiritual fruits and spirit wine. After a moment, Lin Ji's gaze shifted towards Lin Xiuqi, and he opened his mouth as if to speak but hesitated.

Seeing this, Lin Xiuqi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Lin Ji, if you have something to say, don't hesitate. We share the same bloodline, and considering the resources from back then, if I can help, the Lin Family of Azure Heaven Mountain will certainly lend a hand."

With those words, Lin Xiuqi raised his hand, and a blue token appeared, bearing the character "Lin" carved on it. This token had been left to Lin Qingfeng and was meant to be used in case they encountered difficulties in the future. They could take it to Yunyao Prefecture or Hongshan County, seeking the Hongshan family's assistance, but it was a one-time opportunity.

In fact, Lin Xiuqi had thought about using this token as soon as he got wind of Zhang Family's actions. Unfortunately, the Zhang family had moved swiftly, and before he could react, Steward Zhang had arrived with a group of people. Fortunately, the Grand Ancestor had intervened in the end.

Seeing the token, Lin Ji's lingering worries eased a bit, and he wore a somewhat bitter expression. What was originally meant for the branch members to seek help had now been reversed in usage.

Lin Shanhai, who had been observing from the side the whole time, stayed silent. The Hongshan Lin Family had given them an opportunity to resolve their difficulties, and regardless of whether they used it or not, there was a sense of obligation.

However, Lin Shanhai knew that the Hongshan Lin Family's trouble was probably not small. Otherwise, the presence of this Late Stage Foundation Establishment expert would be more than enough to handle any issue.

"Lin Family Head, here's the situation. Our Hongshan Lin Family has a heritage of a thousand years, and our ancestral land has always been on a spiritual mountain in Hongshan County. Besides a Second Rank superior spiritual vein on the mountain, for some unknown reason, there have been rainbows hanging in the sky year-round. Sometimes, it even forms a rainbow sea.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Ji, you've come to Azure Heaven Mountain. What do you expect from our Lin Family?" Lin Xiuqi straightforwardly asked.

Lin Ji stood up and respectfully bowed to Lin Xiuqi. "Before I left, there were rumors that the Third Rank Golden Core force of Yunyao Prefecture, Palace Master Yunyao from the Yunyao Palace, has shown great interest in this Rainbow Maiden. She intends to take her as a direct disciple. Apart from that, it's likely that many Foundation Establishment Peak experts will gather in Hongshan County at that time.

"Our Hongshan Lin Family is powerless to contend with this situation, and we're afraid that if any accidents occur, it might lead to the destruction of our family. Therefore, we would like to request any of the esteemed individuals of your Lin Family to stay with us in the Hongshan Lin Family until the Rainbow Maiden's birth."

After speaking, as if fearing that Lin Xiuqi might misunderstand, Lin Ji hurriedly added, "As for the Rainbow Maiden, we have no interest in her fate. It doesn't matter which family she ends up with. Our only concern is the safety of our family during this crisis."

Although Lin Ji's expression appeared resolute, there was a trace of bitterness in his heart. The Hongshan Lin Family had a heritage spanning a thousand years, all for the purpose of nurturing a Golden Core cultivator.

Lin Hongtu, the current clan head of the Hongshan Lin Family and Lin Ji's son, had reached Foundation Establishment Peak thirty years ago. Now, at the age of 121, he was in the prime years for breaking through to the Golden Core Realm. The opportunity was right in front of them, but they couldn't grasp it due to its immense scale. It could only be said that it was a matter of timing and fate.

Inside the main hall, Lin Xiuqi and Lin Shanhai's expressions turned serious upon hearing this. Regardless of any matter, as soon as they touched upon the Grand Ancestor, it was touching the Lin Family's bottom line.

"Yingjie, you take the three down to rest for now. This matter requires approval from the Grand Ancestor," Lin Xiuqi said decisively.

Lin Yingjie, upon hearing this, promptly stood up. Lin Ji and the other two didn't say anything. Such a significant matter would undoubtedly require the approval of a senior figure. The three followed Lin Yingjie out of the main hall.
