His Son Brought His Girlfriend Home?

During the process of transporting the Mithril Essence back to the Xiao Household, nothing dramatic or unexpected happened.

When Xiao Lin held up a piece of Mithril Essence no bigger than a basketball, his eyes sparkled.

"We've already obtained one of the main materials for the weapon. We'll figure out how to get the rest later. However, it seems difficult to find them in the Northwest Continent. It looks like we'll have to find some time to go to the Central Plains."

After storing the Mithril Essence in his Storage Ring, Xiao Lin couldn't help but mutter to himself.

As for what kind of weapon Xiao Lin wanted to manufacture, he had already decided in his mind.

However, since the materials haven't been fully collected yet, there's no need to elaborate further.

Xiao Lin lived a peaceful life in the days that followed.

The Xiao Household is now on the right track, and he no longer needs to do many things personally.

However, Xiao Lin was heartbroken to see the old clan chief, Xiao Dongcheng, growing older day by day.

Xiao Lin had already used his Soul Power to examine the old patriarch Xiao Dongcheng's body. Based on the old patriarch's physical condition, he estimated that he could only live for another two years at most.

There is actually only one way to Elder clan chief, Xiao Dongcheng.

That means first using Medicinal Pills to prolong the opponent's life, and then letting the opponent find an opportunity to break through their cultivation level.

Simply wanting the old patriarch Xiao Dongcheng to break through is definitely not going to be possible now!

Because every breakthrough puts a certain amount of pressure on the body.

Only by enduring can you break through.

However, given the current physical condition of the old patriarch Xiao Dongcheng, if he were to break through directly, he would most likely die on the way.

This is also why, even though Xiao Lin already possesses Earth Tier Cultivation Method, and the old patriarch could switch to it, the other party still hasn't chosen to do so.

As for Medicinal Pills that can increase lifespan, the only one Xiao Lin knows of so far is a Tier 6 Medicinal Pill called the Azure Netherlife Pill, which can increase a person's lifespan by ten years, but only one pill can be taken in a lifetime.

However, let alone pills, Xiao Lin didn't even have a pill formula!

There isn't a single Tier 6 Alchemist in the entire Jia Ma Empire!

The Pill King Gu He from the Original Work hasn't even risen to prominence yet.

Just as Xiao Lin was about to mobilize the entire Xiao Household to search for the whereabouts of the Azure Netherlife Pill for the old patriarch Xiao Dongcheng, he was stopped by him.

"Xiao Lin, I've actually lived long enough. The only reason I'm still holding on is to see how far you can take the Xiao Household."

Don't bother with me. These are the last two years of your life. Just keep this old man company, okay?

The old clan chief Xiao Dongcheng's words were tantamount to a plea.

Xiao Lin opened his mouth, wanting to refuse several times.

But looking into the other person's eyes, he ultimately couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Understood, Chieftain—"

After that, whenever Xiao Lin was not handling matters of the Xiao Household, he would always set aside some time to talk with the old man.

It was precisely because the old patriarch Xiao Dongcheng only had two years left to live that Xiao Lin, despite having the opportunity, still did not choose to go to Central Plains now.

He feared that if he went there, all he would be able to do upon his return was offer incense to the other party.

Therefore, Xiao Lin postponed his trip to Central Plains for two years!

Time passed slowly.

Another year has passed.

At this moment, Xiao Lin had already vaguely touched the threshold of Three-Star Dou Venerable.

"I should be able to break through in no more than six months!"

Because he wasn't as busy as when he first inherited the position of clan leader, he didn't have much time to cultivate. Over the past few years, Xiao Lin's cultivation speed has actually improved compared to before.

Last time, it took him four years to break through from One-Star Dou Venerable to a two-star Dou Zun.

This time, in just over two years, he has already reached the bottleneck of the Three-Star Dou Venerable.

If nothing unexpected happens, this breakthrough should only take about two and a half years.

Not long after Xiao Lin finished cultivating, a member of the Xiao Household family suddenly rushed over.

However, it was unclear what he had to report, as his expression was quite intriguing!

Xiao Lin was stunned by what he saw.

What happened that made you so anxious?

Xiao Lin put his hands behind his back and asked with a puzzled look.

Having served as clan leader for so many years, Xiao Lin had naturally accumulated a certain amount of authority.

Even though he spoke in a gentle tone, it still intimidated the Xiao Household clansmen.

"Chief, the young master is back!"

Fortunately, having followed Xiao Lin for many years, this Xiao Household clansmen quickly recovered and reported the situation to him.

"Oh? Zhan'er's back?"

Hearing news about his son made Xiao Lin very happy.

Two years ago, Xiao Zhan left the Misty Cloud Sect to gain experience. During that time, he only returned to the Xiao Household once, right after leaving the Misty Cloud Sect. After that, he only sent back an occasional letter.

After Xiao Lin created the Level 3 Formation Disk Thunder-Summoning Formation, he still had his clansmen bring it to Xiao Zhan.

This shows that Xiao Zhan's desire to become stronger is also quite strong.

"Cough cough, this brat, he actually knows how to come back! I thought he'd forgotten about the Xiao Household, and forgotten about this old man!"

Because there were many members of the Xiao Household family around, Xiao Lin pretended to cough twice in order to maintain his dignity. Although he was clearly in a good mood, he deliberately put on a stern face.

Meanwhile, the surrounding clansmen, seeing their clan leader's affected expression, all began to look down and pretend not to notice the change in his expression.

They understand that the clan leader cares about his reputation!

"Clan leader, the young master has returned, but—"

Just as Xiao Lin was contemplating whether he should pack up and go see his son again, the words of the clansman who brought the news pulled him back to his senses.

The word "only" at the end made Xiao Lin frown slightly.

After all, adding those two words at the end of a sentence is not good news!

"Just what?"

Thinking his son was injured or something, Xiao Lin's tone was clearly filled with concern at this moment.

However, before the Xiao Household clansmen could answer Xiao Lin's question, a figure appeared outside the hall.

"Father, I'm back!"

The person arrives before the voice does!

Furthermore, to Xiao Lin, the voice didn't sound like someone was injured.

Immediately, Xiao Lin looked towards the outside of the hall.

Two figures, one in front of the other, about a body length apart, were walking towards Xiao Lin's direction.

One of the two figures was naturally Xiao Lin's son Xiao Zhan.

However, at this moment, Xiao Lin's gaze was not on his son Xiao Zhan, but on the second figure whose hand he was holding.

Don't misunderstand, Xiao Zhan's sexual orientation is perfectly normal.

Therefore, the person he was holding hands with at that moment was naturally a woman!

At that moment, when Xiao Lin saw his son come home and hold a girl's hand, even if he was slow to react, he realized something.

Did his son bring his girlfriend home to meet his parents?
