Lin Xuanzhi opened his eyes and gave him a faint smile, “Nothing, I just suddenly thought that Ah Hen is going to grow up soon.”
Yan Tianhen rubbed his face, “Yeah, I’m a whole inch taller than I was three months ago!”
It was just one inch. There was still a long way to go before Ah Hen would truly become an adult.
This period in between…felt incomparably long to Lin Xuanzhi.
Yet, Lin Xuanzhi also hoped that Yan Tianhen could always remain the innocent and sincere teenager he was now.
Lin Xuanzhi smiled, “Ah Hen, if you ever like someone in the future, you must tell Dage.”
Yan Tianhen was stunned, then his small face flushed red and he stuck his tongue out, “Dage should be the one telling me when you find someone you like. If I have a sis-in-law in the future, I need to treat her as well as I treat Dage.”
Lin Xuanzhi sighed deep in his heart.
Yan Tianhen’s words really made it seem like he had no interest in him.
“Ah Hen, take care of Ah Bai and Hu Po here. Dage needs to go and rest up for a while.”
Yan Tianhen quickly responded, “Dage should go and have a good rest, I’ll take care of things here.”
Lin Xuanzhi placed his fan in Yan Tianhen’s hands, “This Melodious Wind Fan was a subsidiary fan that I created alongside the Rocking Fan I crafted the other day. The soul force contained inside can compete with cultivators who are at the first layer of their Foundation Stage. Take this for self-defence.” After he said this, Lin Xuanzhi left Yan Tianhen’s room without waiting for a reply and headed back to his own room.
After he closed the door, Lin Xuanzhi quickly walked over to a cattail ha.s.sock and sat down on it cross-legged.
Soul Bead spoke leisurely, “Kid, you’re a teal soul second stage craftsman now, that’s equivalent to an elemental cultivator’s Foundation Stage second layer. But, this teal soul second stage of yours was achieved in a short period of time by relying on ten Gathering Qi pills. If you constantly encounter bottlenecks in your cultivation in the future, don’t blame Benzun for not reminding you.”
Lin Xuanzhi closed his eyes, “I am well aware of that.”
“Pei, you’re aware, my a.s.s!” Soul Bead cursed, then continued resentfully, “You have such amazing talent, yet you’re dead insistent on ruining yourself! And you dare say that you’re well aware in front of Benzun?! Are you really trying to force Benzun to thoroughly berate you to wake up your muddled brain!?”
Just based on the fact that he could craft an All-Encompa.s.sing Bottle on his first try, Soul Bead was certain that this kid would have unlimited prospects in the future. As long as he was given some time, he would definitely be able to become the new hegemon of a region.
Yet, he stubbornly relied on medicinal pills to advance……
What a waste of Heaven’s gift! What a waste!!
Soul Bead really wished he could possess Lin Xuanzhi’s body right now and replace him, and this impulse of his had never been stronger than it was now!
Compared to the infuriated Soul Bead, Lin Xuanzhi was much calmer.
Soul Bead was stunned, then he suddenly realised what Lin Xuanzhi wanted to do, “You rascal—!”
Lin Xuanzhi’s blood boiled and tumbled through his veins and his acupoints contracted. The soul force that had already broken through 684 acupoints suddenly shrank back, and the acupoints that had been opened up were sealed up once again. However, the meridians that had been expanded remained in their original state.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xuanzhi spat out a mouthful of blood. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead, his face was ghastly pale and his fingers were trembling slightly. His clothes were actually drenched because of how much he was sweating.
After a moment, he gradually opened his eyes. He picked up a handkerchief to wipe off the fresh blood from the corners of his lips with much indifference, as if nothing had happened.
Soul Bead had been stunned into silence.
“What, did I do anything wrong?” Lin Xuanzhi made light of what had just happened.
“You did the right thing.” Soul Bead only spoke after a long while, then he said with deep meaning, “Benzun has lived for many years and has come across many people, but you’re the only one I’ve seen who dares to abolish your own cultivation this wantonly.”
Lin Xuanzhi laughed lightly, then stood up and smoothed out his unwrinkled clothes and casually said, “I merely abolished two layers, I’m still a Refining Qi stage seven layer cultivator.”
Soul Bead sighed deeply, “How could you bear it?”
“Would there be a better way if I couldn’t bear it?” Lin Xuanzhi asked Soul Bead.
“That…” Soul Bead didn’t know what to say.
There was indeed no other way. But this wasn’t just any ‘two layers’, it was the leap from the Refining Qi stage to a teal soul second layer!
There were so many craftsmen who get stuck at the seventh layer of their Refining Qi Stages and find it impossible to make this jump in their lifetime, yet Lin Xuanzhi abolished it just like that.
Even someone like Soul Bead, who had a wide range of experiences, couldn’t help but be thoroughly stunned — you must know, for cultivators, their cultivation is more important than anything else.
No one would so casually abolish their own cultivation, even if it was just one layer.
Lin Xuanzhi was really ruthless: he wasn’t just ruthless to other people, he was even more ruthless to himself!
Such a person… such a person…
How could you not be afraid of such a person?
Scary, he truly is scary.
