Ten Thousand Mountains

He hoisted his hoe and walked into the small enclosure, digging out a pit before carefully burying Purple Yuelan's roots. Poisonous spirit herbs like this were scarce throughout the Four Seas and Eight Wastes. If it was not cherished, it would sooner or later dissipate.

"Oh, Nu Sheng, you came out too! Keep a close eye on this spirit herb. Don't let anyone come near it. I don't know how much longer it can live..." No one could approach a poisonous spirit herb like this. Losing one's life after getting close would be the least of it.

"Young Master, what kind of herb is this..." Nu Sheng stood there, asking somewhat uncertainly. Lin Yu had not intended to hide it from him and said, "This spirit herb is rare even in the Four Seas and Eight Wastes. It contains quite a bit of poisonous qi, which is also good for cultivation. It is just that some cultivators cannot get close to it. By the way, did my father ask you to pass along any message?"

"Ah..." Nu Sheng had understood Lin Yu's meaning just now, but he had not expected him to ask about the Lineage Head. He quickly said, "Young Master, there was indeed a message. The Lineage Head said that after you woke up, you were to go see him and your mother." Nu Sheng had delivered the message; the matters of these past days could be considered settled.

"Oh, all right. I'll go over first. Don't enter my room for now either; let the aura inside disperse. Also, don't forget your own cultivation. The spiritual energy here is considered abundant even in the Eight Desolations..." Lin Yu laid out each matter one by one, and Nu Sheng committed them all to heart.

"Mother, Father, you were looking for me?" Lin Yu entered the room. Someone in the distance had been about to report his arrival, but Lin Yu stopped them and walked straight in. When Lin Huan saw Lin Yu enter, she pulled him directly to a chair and asked, "Brat, you've been engaged to the Ding Family's girl for over a month now. Can't you stay home peacefully for a few days and get the marriage done? It would also fulfill one wish of mine and your father's..."

Come to think of it, Lin Yu was only fourteen now. Getting married at this age was still a little early. Wang Cheng nodded from the side as well. "That's right. You brat are like an eagle without a tail, flying everywhere all day. When will you bring your wife home, get married, and have children?"

"Ah, Mom, what you said reminded me of something. Through that battle, I came to thoroughly understand that my current strength is still lacking. So I've decided to go out and train for a while. You can decide all the other matters. Just have Nu Sheng notify me when the time comes." Lin Yu directly pushed it off...

Lin Huan was displeased as she sat there, grinding her teeth. "Nu Sheng was the one you brought back. This time, you aren't even taking him with you. Have you decided to go somewhere dangerous?" Lin Yu glanced at her, not knowing what exactly to say. If this had been any ordinary time, how could this possibly fly?

"Ah, Father understands me after all. This time, I've decided to travel through the Ten Thousand Mountains, so I feel it would be better to go alone. You wouldn't cruelly stop me, would you?" Lin Yu stole another glance at him. He did not know what his father was going to say about him; otherwise, he would not have acted like this.

"You, you! I've never seen you run about this much before. I know wealth and honor are sought amid peril, but the Ten Thousand Mountains are truly far too dangerous. What Devil Beasts aren't in there? It's too dangerous. No matter what you say, I won't let you go."

Lin Huan made her stance clear. Though she had never been to the Ten Thousand Mountains, the inheritance of a thousand years was no mere ornament. A thousand years ago, even the great figures of the Lineage had not dared enter those mountains, let alone a little shrimp like him now.

Looking at the firm gaze in his father's eyes, Lin Yu could neither laugh nor cry. Helplessly, he took a crystal from his storage ring. It was a Magic Core, obtained when he killed that python. When Lin Huan saw it, her eyes widened. Suppressing the emotions in her heart, she said, "So you've been to that place before?"

Lin Yu quickly nodded. When he had returned last time, he had felt that it was not yet time to say those things. Now, it should be fine.

"Since that's the case, then go! But remember, you must not get hurt..." Lin Yu chuckled, turned around, and left directly, departing the Lin Residence without even saying goodbye...

"What's wrong with you? You actually let him go to a place like that..." Wang Cheng stood there and asked.

"If you can stop him, then you're impressive. Enough, let it be! An eagle must one day take flight, mustn't it? Besides, this child's fate is not something we can decide..." Lin Huan's words left Wang Cheng speechless. She knew Lin Yu was no ordinary person.

At the foot of the Ten Thousand Mountains, a figure stood tall, as though the entire mountain range were trembling. Lin Yu took a deep breath of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy within was truly too dense; he did not even know what to say. That surge of spiritual energy was enough to conceal the poison in his body.

"Ten Thousand Mountains, this time, I will surely find the fortune that should be mine." After saying this, Lin Yu's figure vanished directly beneath the mountains. He was rushing into the range at top speed.

In a place like this, spiritual energy was abundant. Although it was difficult to achieve the effects of Body Tempering, using it for cultivation was still quite good. This could not help but make Lin Yu think of Ding Meng. He said lightly, "If you knew that the person you were engaged to was me—the former waste of the Lin Family—what expression would you wear? I imagine it would be quite adorable!"

In the middle of the night.

"Lineage Head, after the young master came to see you today, he never returned. I wonder if you know where he went..." Nu Sheng was truly worried about Lin Yu; otherwise, he would not have come looking for Lin Huan.

"What? That brat didn't return? When he left your place today, did he leave behind any words or anything?" Lin Huan knew where he had gone, but she wanted to ask whether her son had left anything behind.

"Yes. He told me to cultivate diligently and look after a spirit herb. The rest were just miscellaneous matters..." Nu Sheng carefully recalled what Lin Yu had said today, but there did not seem to be anything important.

Lin Huan nodded and smiled. "Since that brat has instructed you to do something, then go do it! He is not in any danger right now. By the way, do you know what kind of spirit herb he told you to look after?"

"Reporting to the Lineage Head, I am not too sure either. I only heard the young master say that this thing is rarely seen in our Four Seas and Eight Wastes." After Nu Sheng answered, he seemed to be waiting for something else, but then Lin Huan said, "All right, there's nothing more for you to do. Leave first! Take good care of what he asked you to watch over. It may be useful when he returns."

Nu Sheng got up and left. The young master's departure this time... the Lineage Head seemed to know something, but did not want to say it...
