Azure Silver Country.

General's Estate.

Squeak...

In an inconspicuous corner, there was a dark room. It was simple and remote. If one did not search carefully, it would be difficult to find it. A servant opened the door lightly, and a ray of blinding sunlight shone through the gap in the door, causing the youth who was sitting with his back against the wall to extend his hand to block it.

Young master, it's time to eat. It's been three days since the last drop of water fell.

The manservant brought the food into the house and closed the door, once again isolating the golden sunlight from the outside. With his sneaky look and fair and square behavior, he took the tray to the youth and put it down.

Lin Qi rubbed his eyes as he looked at the leftovers on the tray. He knew that the manservant was lying. His father would probably kill him now. Why would he be worried about his body?

"Ah Shan, you don't need to say anything good about my father in front of me. Our relationship can no longer be reconciled. As for whether I live or die, he won't even bother to ask." As Lin Qi spoke, he kept his fists clenched in front of his mouth and coughed lightly from time to time. Upon closer inspection, his face was pale and weak, as if he was suffering from internal injuries.

He tried to channel the spiritual power within his body, only to discover that it had completely disappeared. He had almost forgotten that he was now just a lowly mortal.

The house was closed, and once the door was closed, not even half a ray of sunlight could enter. Only weeds were strewn about, and bug rats were rampant as they scanned this small dark room. For the first time in his life, he felt despair and darkness.

Ah Shan knelt on the grass, looking at the young master who was getting thinner and thinner, he sighed deeply and said: "Master also has his own difficult points, Master's way of doing things is too extreme, I also know that young master wants to recover his strength as soon as possible, but you can't go snatch the elixirs that are worth thousands of gold."

"They came looking for us?" Lin Xing took a deep breath. This sentence was a waste of time. The Minister of State and his father had always been at loggerheads and would not let go of any opportunity to trip his father, who was also the Great General of the Azure Silver Country.

"I didn't. I heard that the Prime Minister spoke fiercely in the imperial court today and gathered several ministers to impeach and falsely accuse the old master. When the old master returned, his face was ashen, and he was sitting alone in his room, who knows what he was doing." Ashan Road.

His eyes were so calm that it was frightening as he said, "When I entered the Heaven Sect in the past, the Prime Minister even wagged his tail and begged me, not to mention his appearance in front of my father. Now that I have turned into a mortal, he began to fall down and beat me up."

"It's a pity for young master's body. If you were born in ancient times, you would have definitely become a powerful expert. But now, your Ancient God's body has been gradually rejected by the heavens and won't be able to return to its former glory." Ashan sighed.

"Ancient god body? The mistake was when I was born, or should not have been born. " Lin Qi self-deprecated, and a mournful expression appeared on his delicate and pretty face.

He then asked, "Has my Master sent someone else to seek compensation?"

"Yes, he comes every month. Our General's Estate is going to go bankrupt." Ashan sighed helplessly.

He would rather not have the Ancient God's body, and would rather start from the cultivation of a mortal. From the moment he was born, he had caused the death of his mother, and in the end, his entire family had been torn apart by him.

Lin Xing's mother was three years pregnant before she was born. When she gave birth, the green light shone brightly, shaking half of the Kingdom of Qingyin. His mother died in childbirth, but even so, his father didn't blame him.

Because he was born with an ancient god's body, he was born with a strong spiritual energy. When he was two years old, he directly broke through to the second level of the Soul Formation stage, which was something many people would find difficult to cultivate.

The truth was exactly like that. However, there was an elder in the Sky Sect who refused to believe it. He had taken Lin Xing as his direct disciple when he was five years old, and brought him back to the sect to be nurtured, even at the cost of the Sky Sect's endless resources and all kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures.

Lin Xing's contribution to Lin Xing could be described as painstakingly exhausting everything he had, and Lin Xing did not disappoint his master. At the age of sixteen, he had already stepped into the Heaven Smiting Stage and activated the Heavenly Cauldron's descent, becoming the only Ancient God body in the past ten thousand years to break the curse.

However, just as his Master was feeling overjoyed, a heavenly tribulation descended from the dome of heaven and struck Lin Xing. Although it did not turn him into ashes, all the years of training had gone down the drain.

Not to mention him, even his father and master wouldn't be able to accept such an outcome. Even the people from the Sky Sect were disheartened, and felt that the might of the heavens was so terrifying that it couldn't be reversed.

As the saying goes, the Ancient God of Cheng Yu lost because of the Ancient God, which was exactly how he had been for the past eighteen years.

In the end, Lin Qi dragged his tired body back to the general's manor. There was not a single person in the manor who came out to greet him. Compared to when he had come back, it seemed so empty and lonely.

Not long after he returned, another incident that angered the entire General's Estate occurred. The blame was all placed on Lin Xing.

It turned out that his Master, the Elder from the Descending Heavens Sect, had sent someone to the General's Estate to ask for the treasures that had once been wasted on Lin Xing. His Master had said that the resources that had been wasted on Lin Xing must be "doubled" in order for the General's Estate to repay them.

In his grief and indignation, Lin Xing had cut off all ties with his Master. However, he and the general's household did not dare to not pay their debts.

The Azure Silver Country was only a member of one of the many subordinate states of the Heaven's Expanse School, and they were also the weakest of them all. They even had the control of the country's ruler, so even though their father, Lin Shen, was a great general, he didn't dare to resist and his position was in a precarious situation.

"Cang Yushi is working too hard, it's much more painful than destroying our general's manor. Now that everyone in our manor is saving money, we have to pay off a large amount of debt to him every month and treat us as a bank." Ashan was filled with grief and indignation.

"It's all my fault." Lin Qi blamed himself. He had thought about suicide, but his death could not save him from defeat. If he could not prove anything, then he would be condemned.

"Young master, how can we blame you for this? Cang Yushi clearly knew that the Ancient God's body was irreversible, but he refused to believe that it was wrong for him to accept you as his direct disciple. In the end, it was all for nothing, and we still had to pay for it." Ashan said angrily. Sometimes, thinking about it, if the young master did not have the Ancient God's body, with the resources of the General's Estate, it was not impossible for him to cultivate to a slightly stronger cultivator.

Even if he was born with the Ancient God's physique, he could still cultivate to the Heaven Smiting Stage. This was already considered one of the top levels in the Azure Silver Country, but he still had to fight his way out with the azure jade stone.

Ah Shan picked up a bowl of rice, placed a pair of chopsticks on top, and said to Lin Xing, "Young master, you are the lord's only son, he won't do anything to you, hurry up and eat. This is something the young master personally cooked for you, ever since you came home, the young master has only taken good care of you …"

"Pa …"

Before Ashan could finish his sentence, Lin Xing knocked over the food on the tray, causing him to be stunned on the spot with a smile.

He asked, "Young master, you …"

"Do you know who instigated me to steal the elixir of the Prime Minister?"

"Who?"

"That's the voice." Lin Xing calmly said.

"This... How could it be him? " Ah Shan was startled, he could not believe what he had heard. The young master had always been refined and respectful towards his subordinates, unlike the bad guys in his heart.

After Lin Qi returned home, he was naturally unwilling to become a mortal. He had always been thinking of ways to improve his strength, and the best way to increase his cultivation was to swallow elixirs. Two days ago, Lin Fei-ming had told him that the Prime Minister had a rare Hundred Mother Flower, which was a great tonic. It told him in detail where and when to go and snatch it.

As a mortal, how could Lin Xing possibly be a match for these warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles? He was severely injured in just two moves, and in the end, he was still one of the eight great elephants, so Gu Yuan, who had a very close relationship with him, passed by and saved him.

There were eight young generals under Lin Shen's command. Before this, they were all orphans and were adopted by Lin Shen as his adopted sons. Each of them were powerful and had contributed greatly to the Azure Silver Country. They were known as the Eight Ascendants.

Mu Feiming and Gu Yuan were the Eight Elephants Two. They lived in the general's manor together, and the servants addressed them as Young Master.

"In the future, all the food he cooks will be thrown away. "If he poisons me to death, Ah Shan, you won't be able to escape death." Lin Qi said coldly.

"Yes, yes, Young Master, I'll remember." Ashan was trembling in fear. Under his eyes, he could not help but sweat profusely.
