Eighth Grade Spirit Medicine

"Greetings, Brother Lin Chen."

Lin Dong cautiously entered the room, curiously looking around before raising his head to look at Lin Chen, who wore a gentle expression and smiled faintly at him. He spoke with great respect.

Though Lin Chen did not appear to be very old, he had left an indelible impression on Lin Dong's young heart.

Although Lin Dong was still confused about many things, he could distinguish between right and wrong in some matters.

His father had returned home safely after being severely injured entirely because of the person before him...

Meanwhile, Lin Qingtian, standing behind Lin Dong, would occasionally tilt her head and peer past his body, which was half a head taller than hers, to sneak a glance at Lin Chen. She looked rather pitiful, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Alright, you siblings needn't be so restrained. You can come here whenever you want to play in the future. The furnishings in this room are different from yours, so if there's anything you like, you can take it. I won't mind."

Lin Chen smiled at the siblings and waved his hand.

Although the furnishings Lin Zhentian had arranged in his room were not extravagant, they were far from ordinary in Qingyang Town. Still, Lin Chen had no interest in such things.

He had only come to Qingyang Town for his own cultivation and had no use for these useless worldly possessions. As for Lin Qingtian, she was still young, so it was hardly strange that she was interested in furnishings different from those in Lin Xiao's home.

"Thank you, Brother Lin Chen..."

Upon hearing Lin Chen say this, Lin Qingtian immediately beamed with joy and hurriedly thanked him.

Lin Chen's smile remained as he said, "Alright, the two of you can play here for a while, then go back. If you stay too long, your mother will worry."

"Also, Qingtan, the next time the cold energy in your body erupts and you become cold, remember to have Brother Lin Dong tell me."

Lin Family Back Mountain, within a lush forest.

"I didn't expect Uncle Lin Lie to be the one who came..."

Seeing the middle-aged man before him with a somewhat teasing smile, Lin Chen gave an embarrassed laugh, feeling slightly awkward. After all, he had not said goodbye to Lin Ke'er's family before leaving Lin City.

After sensing fluctuations from the spiritual jade slip he had inscribed, Lin Chen had withdrawn from cultivating Spiritual Power, pushed open his door, and, propelled by Spiritual Power, raced toward the forest in the back mountain.

"What, have you forgotten who I am, brat?"

Lin Lie smiled faintly. The Origin Energy within him, powerful enough to shake countless people throughout Qingyang Town, suddenly poured forth, making even Lin Chen, who bore the brunt of it, feel his scalp tingle.

"What powerful Origin Energy fluctuations..."

"That place should be the Lin Family Back Mountain. Such an expert has likely entered the level of the Three Creation Realms."

"I never imagined that old bones Lin Zhentian had such a formidable backer. The Lin Clan truly cannot be provoked. Luckily, we never made a move against the Lin Family before."

Within a secret chamber of Lei Mansion, Lei Bao, who had just broken through to the Lesser Core Formation Realm, had yet to emerge from the excitement of his breakthrough when he sensed an extremely powerful fluctuation of Origin Energy. After carefully identifying its direction, he was instantly horrified.

At the same time, the experts of Qingyang Town's other two major powers, the Xie Family and the Savage Blade Martial Arts School, also sensed this powerful fluctuation of Origin Energy. In an instant, all their doubts over Ironwood Manor changing hands not long ago vanished completely.

"That old fox Lei Bao really is shrewd..."

"With such a powerful expert supporting the Lin Family, how could they fail to prosper?"

Elsewhere.

"Lesser Accomplishment of Qi Creation Realm..."

"I didn't expect Uncle Lin Lie to have broken through after only two months apart."

"Congratulations..."

Sensing the powerful Origin Energy within Lin Lie, Lin Chen spoke with slight surprise. Though he did not understand why Lin Lie was being so ostentatious in Qingyang Town today, he knew clearly that Lin Lie had remained at the peak of Greater Accomplishment in the Form Creation Realm for several years.

Hearing the sincerity in Lin Chen's words, Lin Lie's smile deepened. But in the next moment, his expression darkened.

"Stop trying to muddle through, brat. Don't think praising me a few times means I'll overlook you leaving without saying goodbye. What, have your wings grown sturdy now? Do you look down on our family?"

"Cough..."

Lin Chen coughed awkwardly and said calmly, "Uncle Lin Lie is overthinking it. I was only afraid Ke'er would become even more upset and cry."

"I didn't think you would dare..."

Lin Lie snorted coldly, then reached into the Cosmic Bag at his waist, took out a purple box, and tossed it through the air to Lin Chen, who stood about ten feet away.

"Inside is Thousand Year Demonic Spirit Ginseng."

"I don't know what you need a spirit medicine beneficial to demonic beasts for, but I imagine this spirit medicine, which benefits only demonic beasts, should satisfy your needs."

At those words, Lin Chen's bright black eyes flickered sharply. Somewhat incredulously, he said, "An Eighth Grade Spirit Medicine—the rare Thousand Year Demonic Spirit Ginseng?"

Lin Lie was not surprised by Lin Chen's astonishment. After all, Lin Chen had only needed spirit medicines above the sixth grade. Though an Eighth Grade Spirit Medicine was merely two grades higher than a sixth-grade spirit medicine, their value was utterly incomparable. The difference between them could be called as vast as heaven and earth.

"That's right. This type of ginseng is quite difficult to form. Not only does it require a ginseng plant over a thousand years old that has already developed spirituality as its base, it also requires the blood of a demonic beast at the Nirvana Realm or above to continuously seep into it after its death, until the spirit ginseng becomes entirely blood-red."

"Even among the Lin Clan's collection, there are only a handful of them. And that is all thanks to Ancestor, who joined a super sect a hundred years ago."

Lin Lie glanced at Lin Chen and gave a serious explanation before adding, "As for its effects, I imagine you should already know, so there is no need for me to say more."

Although Lin Lie did not dote on Lin Chen as wholeheartedly as he did his own daughter, Lin Ke'er, he had always taken good care of him.

Naturally, aside from Lin Mu's influence, this was also related to Lin Chen's sensible and diligent nature since childhood, as well as his exceptional talent.

At fifteen, he had already reached the initial stage of the Heavenly Origin Realm. Even within the Lin Clan, that was quite rare and did not pale in comparison to Lin Langtian.

After being slightly startled, Lin Chen returned to normal moments later. Without even opening the purple box, he placed it into his Cosmic Bag.

Clearly, Lin Chen still held some trust in Lin Lie.

"Uncle Lin Lie is right. Naturally, I know the use of Thousand Year Demonic Spirit Ginseng. It can do nothing more than restore a certain amount of a demonic beast's demonic spirit power."

"It's just that this spirit medicine..."

Lin Chen nodded to Lin Lie. Though the thought of awakening Little Marten immediately surfaced in his mind, he suppressed it the next moment.

He naturally knew that the Lin Clan possessed such a spirit medicine, but the price to exchange for it was far too high. Thus, he had never considered using such a spirit medicine to awaken Little Marten.

Within the Lin Clan, younger members like him, who had not made any great contributions to the Lin Clan, were not qualified to exchange for certain items.
