As Grandfather Shi San’s voice fell, the middle-aged cultivator named Shi Jianxing immediately shivered and hastily knelt to the ground, his voice trembling:
“Elder…
elder…”
“It was my foolishness that led me to harbor selfish thoughts, which brought about such despicable acts.
Please punish me, elder.”
As Shi Jianxing’s voice fell, an elder of the Shi Family to the left of Grandfather Shi San looked towards Shi Jianxing and said:
“It seems, it was for the sake of the Void Immortal Thunder Stone.”
And on the right side of Grandfather Shi San, another Shi Family elder nodded:
“Hmm…”
“During the previous discussion about the Void Immortal Thunder Stone, Jianxing was right there.
He had intended to refine a Daoist Treasure, and it just so happened that he lacked a Void Immortal Thunder Stone.”
“Had Elder Qi not proposed to give the Void Immortal Thunder Stone to his own disciple, the Void Immortal Thunder Stone would have certainly been his.”
Hearing this, Lin Jing also instantly understood what was going on.
So all this was related to the Void Immortal Thunder Stone.
No wonder he was so hostile towards me.

He probably felt aggrieved in his heart.
Grandfather Shi San looked at Shi Jianxing, who was kneeling on the ground, his expression stern, and he spoke in a cold voice:
“As a member of the Shi Family, no matter what you encounter, the family will try to help you.
Even if the Void Immortal Thunder Stone can’t be allotted to you, you would be compensated in other ways.”
“The allocation of the Void Immortal Thunder Stone is a family decision, but because of your dissatisfaction, you offended a guest of the clan, and that breaks the family rules.”
“Breaking the family rules requires punishment.”
After speaking, Grandfather Shi San looked towards the elder on his right and said:
“Elder Five…”
“You are in charge of the family’s disciplinary affairs.
You decide the punishment for Shi Jianxing.”
Grandfather Shi San’s elder on the right nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said:
“There happens to be a need for a guardian in the depths of Shi Yuan.
Let him take on that duty.”
Upon hearing these words, Shi Jianxing’s body couldn’t help but tremble,
and the elder in charge of the family’s discipline, with a serious expression, looked towards Shi Jianxing and spoke directly, announcing his punishment:
“Shi Jianxing!”
“For provoking a family guest without reason and breaking family rules, you are now sentenced to guard Shi Yuan for a hundred years.”
“Do you have any objections?”
Upon hearing this, Shi Jianxing faced the elder and bowed deeply, saying:
“Jianxing is willing to accept the punishment.”
With that, the matter was considered resolved.
Afterward, Grandfather Shi San and another elder took Lin Jing to the Shi Family’s residence on the desolate mountain.
The elder in charge of discipline took Shi Jianxing in a different direction.
…
While walking on the road, Grandfather Shi San turned to Lin Jing and said:
“I really didn’t expect that you would be Elder Qi’s disciple and that you’ve entered the Elixir Alliance.
It seems your Alchemy Dao cultivation is also quite impressive.”
