Chapter 842 (2/2)

While speaking, Grandfather Shi San handed the Shi Token back to Lin Jing:

“This Shi Token is a kind of symbol within our Shi Family.”

“With it, no one from the Shi Family can disrespect you without cause, and when necessary, you can use it to request help from the Shi Family once.”

“Keep holding on to it.”

Originally, when Lin Jing first received the Shi Token, he had thought it was just a common token representing status.

It wasn’t until he presented the Shi Token and saw it stirring by itself, alarming the entire Shi Family, that Lin Jing realized something was amiss.

And through Grandfather Shi San’s explanation, Lin Jing finally understood that the token actually held such great significance.

Lin Jing nodded and then safely stored the token away.

Subsequently, Lin Jing spoke up, asking Grandfather Shi San:

“Elder Shi…”

“Didn’t you go to the outer realms’ void previously to find a recovery method for Shi San?”

“What was the outcome?”

“How is Shi San now?”

Upon hearing this, Grandfather Shi San’s expression softened, and he lightly nodded, saying:

“The result was fairly good…”

“His body has largely recovered, only his Soul Spirit has not yet fully healed, and he’s missing the final Elixir Medicine to make a complete recovery.”

“Once he’s recovered, he’ll be able to start cultivating.”

As he said this, Grandfather Shi San looked at Lin Jing and continued:

“We had been unable to find a way to heal Shi San before and thought his recovery was hopeless.

We were prepared to let him live out his life as a mortal, which is why we named him Shi San.”

“Now everything has changed, Shi San’s destiny has turned around, and he will no longer be the mortal Shi San.”

“Therefore…”

“We’ve also changed his name.

He is no longer called Shi San but Shi Tian.”

“Shi Tian…” Lin Jing said softly.

He then nodded and remarked, “Good name!”

…

…

The three of them made their way up to the top of the desolate mountain and entered the Shi Family.

Upon entering, Grandfather Shi San…

No, it should now be Grandfather Shi Tian.

Grandfather Shi Tian led Lin Jing straight to a courtyard covered by a Formation within the Shi Family.

Inside a room in the courtyard, Lin Jing saw Shi Tian again…

Compared to the last time they met, Shi Tian’s appearance had not changed at all, still the same as before.

Only…

He had not completely recovered yet and was still in a deep slumber at this time.

Right now, Shi Tian lay on the bed with his eyes tightly closed, as if asleep.

Thanks to Grandfather Shi Tian’s explanations on the way, Lin Jing was aware of Shi Tian’s current state.

Shi Tian’s body had fully recovered, and he only needed to take one more Elixir Medicine to wake up completely.

And this final Elixir Medicine was the Soul-Returning Pill, which Elder Qi had researched and Lin Jing had once refined.

It was only now that Lin Jing realized…

the new Elixir Recipe that Elder Qi had been researching all along was for Shi Tian.
