Chapter 338: 40: The Youth Suspected to be a Lin Family Orphan



Hearing the young man’s words, the two men both burst out laughing.

“Pfft…”

“Hahaha…”

“Where’s the proof? Since you claim to be from the Lin Family, then show some evidence, such as your family’s Alchemy Dao heritage.”

“Or perhaps, the treasure vaults left by your family.”

“If all else fails, even refining a batch of Pure Elixirs would do…”

“You…”

After the two had finished speaking, the young man became so angry that his face turned red, and his fists were tightly clenched, but there was nothing he could do about them.

Seeing the youth like this, one of the men spoke up directly:

“Enough, stop giving him a hard time…”

“Looking at him like this, how could he possibly be a descendant of the Lin Family.”

“You must realize, the Lin Family is an ancient medicinal family with a long inheritance. Even in decline, their descendants wouldn’t end up in such a state.”

The other middle-aged cultivator nodded in agreement and replied:

“Brother Li is right, indeed.”

Having said that, the two men bypassed the young man and approached the stall, picking up two bottles of Elixir Medicine each from the few available and putting them away.

The young man’s eyes were almost spitting fire as he glared at the two men, his fists still clenched, but he took no further action and just stood there.

It was at this moment that the dark-skinned young man who had led Lin Jing stepped forward.

This youth stepped up, showing no fear of the two middle-aged cultivators.

Even though the dark-skinned young man was only at the Late Stage of Qi Refining, while the two middle-aged cultivators were at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

“How can you two do this, aren’t you afraid of the management of Fang Market?”

After speaking, he turned his head again to the fair-skinned young man and said:

“And you, how can you let them bully you so easily, I really…”

The dark-skinned youth looked at the fair-skinned young man with a frustrated expression as if lamenting that he was not living up to expectations.

However, even upon hearing about Fang Market management, the two cultivators remained unafraid and retorted:

“He owes us Spirit Stones, and by not taking all his Elixir Medicines, we’ve already been quite polite.”

“Right now, we’re just reclaiming a bit of interest.”

“But you can’t take it every day…” the dark-skinned young man objected.

The two middle-aged cultivators didn’t get angry but turned to the dark-skinned young man and said:

“As long as he pays back the Spirit Stones he owes us, we won’t take his Elixir Medicines anymore.”

“You should know, it’s not just one or two Spirit Stones, but dozens of them. With these Spirit Stones, we could do a lot.”

“Now, our Spirit Stones were borrowed by his grandfather, who died before paying them back.”

“If not him, who else should we look for?”

“Maybe you? Will you repay them on his behalf?”

At this, the fair-skinned young man stood up.

“There’s no need for him to do that, I’ll repay it myself.”

It must be said that the fair-skinned young man was quite stubborn.

The two middle-aged cultivators laughed as if they had heard a great joke:

“Hahaha…”

“Do you have Spirit Stones?”

“If you can really pay them back, then I’ll return all the Elixir Medicines we’ve taken from you during this period.”

It was then that the dark-skinned young man also spoke up:

“Don’t worry, he will pay back the Spirit Stones to you very soon.”

“Just wait and return those Spirit Stones.”

The two middle-aged cultivators looked at each other and then smiled disdainfully.

Afterward, one of them said teasingly:

“Oh…”

“Quite confident, are we? Well then, we’ll just wait.”

“Brother Li, let’s go,” and with that, the two men left.

Once the two men had gone, the dark-skinned young man turned to look at the fair-skinned young man with a mix of frustration and concern.

“You really are stubborn…”

Afterward, the dark-skinned young man came up to Lin Jing and said:

“Senior, this is the person you were looking for. What happens next is up to you and him to discuss.”

“However, this individual tends to be obstinate, and it’s quite possible that he won’t comply with your wishes. When the time comes, I hope the Senior won’t blame him.”

Lin Jing nodded and said, “I am not one to do such petty things.”

After this exchange, the dark-skinned young man approached the fair-skinned young man and whispered a few words into his ear.

The fair-skinned young man first looked at Lin Jing, then frowned deeply and glared at the dark-skinned young man, seemingly upset about him bringing Lin Jing over.

Then,

he turned around and began to pack up his stall.

At this point, the dark-skinned young man came back and said to Lin Jing:

“Senior, I’ve already spoken to him.”

“My task is complete, so I will take my leave now.”

Lin Jing nodded.

Then the dark-skinned young man departed.

Now, only Lin Jing and the fair-skinned young man were left.

Lin Jing stepped forward and before he could speak, the fair-skinned young man turned around, bowed to Lin Jing, and then said:

“Senior, I apologize…”

“I know you want the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, but it’s of great importance to me and I cannot sell it to you.”

At this moment, Lin Jing’s attention was actually no longer on the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass.

He looked at the stall, where a wooden sign read ‘Lin Family Elixir Pavilion’.

Then, he turned his head to look at the fair-skinned young boy.

Just now, he had heard clearly that this fair-skinned young boy claimed to be a member of the Lin Family.

Moreover, seeing the boy’s serious demeanor, it didn’t seem like he was lying.

However, a descendant of the Lin Family, drifting in Bihai City and not concealing his identity, would he not be sought after by the enemies of the Lin Family’s past?

That would be quite strange.

Therefore,

Lin Jing was not certain whether this boy truly was a member of the Lin Family.

“I heard you say that you are a member of the Lin Family from the Ancient Alchemy Path family, is that right?”

The fair-skinned young boy looked at the small wooden sign with a desolate expression and spoke softly,

“Does it matter whether I am or not?”

“The Lin Family has already perished, no one will believe it.”

“Don’t tell me you actually believe that the Lin Family, which perished a thousand years ago, still has descendants alive today?”

However, Lin Jing just smiled lightly and said,

“I believe!”

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, the fair-skinned young boy suddenly looked up at Lin Jing.

A moment later, he lowered his head and laughed bitterly.

“Senior, I’m sorry, I really can’t part with the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass, it’s more important than my life.”

Lin Jing was stunned for a moment and then couldn’t help but shake his head.

He had been misunderstood.

It seemed the fair-skinned young boy did not believe him and only thought that he wanted to buy the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass from him as a mere excuse.

Lin Jing then spoke,

“In fact, I could take the Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass or leave it.”

“Even if you don’t sell it, I can still look for it in the Seven Seas Hall. Surely the Seven Seas Hall wouldn’t lack Yellow Dragon Spirit Grass. It’s just that I’m interested in your background.”

No sooner had Lin Jing’s words fallen, than the fair-skinned young boy quickly said,

“Senior, I just don’t understand…”

“What is it about my identity that interests you?”

“Is it just because of the Lin Family descendant’s identity?”

The fair-skinned young boy had just finished his question when he started to explain,

“If you’re thinking of obtaining some secrets of the Lin Family from a thousand years ago from me, I think you’ve got the wrong person.”

“What I know about my lineage is what my grandfather told me. He said I am a member of the Lin Family, so I am a member of the Lin Family. Beyond that, I know nothing.”

“Furthermore, regarding the Lin Family from a thousand years ago, my knowledge is limited, and I certainly don’t know any secrets of the Lin Family.”

“If you, senior, are an enemy of the Lin Family from a thousand years ago and want revenge, then just come at me.”

“Whatever happens, I’ll take it.”

Lin Jing observed the fair-skinned young boy for a while and then voiced his doubts:

“You proclaim every day that you’re a member of the Lin Family, has none of the Lin Family’s enemies sought revenge on you? Or like you said, covet the Lin Family’s wealth and coerce you?”

The fair-skinned young boy was startled for a moment and then replied:

“No…”

“The fall of the Lin Family is well-known by everyone.”

“All the Lin Family’s wealth was squandered before its decline, not to mention, after the Lin Family’s complete extermination, the ruins of the once Lin Family estate were turned upside down by others.”

“As for the enemies of the Lin Family you mentioned, which one of them is not a top force known far and wide, such forces, how would they care about someone insignificant like me?”

“Even if they did care, do they really believe that I alone have the capability to revive the entire Lin Family?”

“What’s more, those top forces are well aware that the Lin Family’s downfall was due to a heavenly scourge, and it is impossible for anyone to have survived.”

Listening to the fair-skinned young boy, Lin Jing nodded slightly, signifying agreement.

An extinct family whose heritage has been lost truly does not warrant any further attention.

But…

It has to be said, the fair-skinned young boy knew quite a lot.

Lin Jing then continued to ask:

“How do you know all this?”

The fair-skinned young boy answered,

“All this was told to me by my grandfather.”

Lin Jing nodded after listening and then lowered his head to ponder.

A moment later,

Lin Jing lifted his head again, looking at the fair-skinned young boy and asked,

“Are you an alchemist?”

The fair-skinned young boy nodded, “Yes.”

“What grade?” Lin Jing asked again.

The fair-skinned young boy bowed and said to Lin Jing,

“Replying to senior, I have just recently been promoted to a Second-Grade Alchemist.”

“But due to financial constraints, I have never crafted a second-grade elixir medicine. To be honest, I can only make some first-grade elixirs.”

“With senior’s cultivation, if you’re looking for an alchemist, I’m afraid my current abilities might not meet your requirements.”

Lin Jing carefully examined the fair-skinned young boy, looking at his somewhat childish face, and then spoke,

“Looking at your age, you’re quite young to have reached the level of a Second-Grade Alchemist. It seems your alchemy talents are not bad; I’m beginning to believe that you might indeed be a member of the Lin Family.”

Upon hearing Lin Jing’s words, the fair-skinned young boy appeared somewhat vigilant and hastily started to defend himself:

“Senior is joking. I simply have some talent in alchemy, that has nothing to do with the Lin Family.”

“Besides, the Lin Family’s alchemy heritage has long since been lost, and it couldn’t possibly fall into my hands. The alchemy techniques I practice are nothing more than the most common.”
