Chapter 419 - Chapter 419: Chapter 119: The Second Verification of Lin Jue (2/2)
“`
“moreover…”
“this alchemy technique is connected to the ancient alchemy path of prestigious families. for you to decide on this matter so hastily seems somewhat improper.”
lin jing then said:
“i am naturally aware of this.”
“therefore, i plan to teach it only to those close to me who i trust.”
“as for the lin family, now that it has perished, it can be said that only the two of us remain. hence, it is not entirely unreasonable for me to make this decision.”
“what’s more, i have some plans for which i will need someone to practice the ancient alchemy arts of the lin family to assist me in alchemy…”
at this point, li qingqing suddenly asked:
“just now, you mentioned that two people from the lin family are left, besides yourself, is there another one?”
lin jing nodded and said:
“it is that lin jue who is very likely to be a remnant bloodline of the lin family. however, after i return, i will have to test him once more.”
li qingqing instantly had an epiphany:
“so it’s him, no wonder…”
li tangyu then said:
“if that’s the case, then pass it on to qing qing.”
“i don’t need it. under the demon lord’s watch, i have to be extremely careful and cannot reveal any anomalies.”
lin jing nodded and said:
“alright then!”
…
…
because they were within the area of the thousand islands domain and the distance wasn’t too far, several hours passed in the shadow escape flying boat, they neared wan mo island.
upon reaching this area, they could not proceed further.
li tangyu disembarked from the flying boat here and left with little sparrow.
little sparrow was quite smart; having confirmed the location this time, next time it would remember the way on its own.
after li tangyu’s departure, lin jing took li qingqing and returned to li yan island.
as for little sparrow, it could fly back on its own when the time came…
it could also get used to the route incidentally.
……
after returning to li yan island.
lin jing found lin jue, who was meditating and cultivating, and directly brought him to the bedroom in the back courtyard.
upon entering the bedroom, lin jue was clearly nervous and unsure about why lin jing had summoned him.
“senior, may i ask why you have called for me?”
lin jing then took out a purple treasure box from the storage bag and placed it on the table.
this box was the very bloodline inheritance box that lin jing had acquired on immortal crossing island.
then he said to lin jue:
“there’s no need to be nervous…”
“i have called you here to perform a verification.”
lin jue looked at the treasure box on the table, especially the ‘lin’ character on it, which made him feel that lin jing had some deeper purpose.
but lin jue did not show it and asked in confusion:
“may i know what verification senior wishes for me to conduct?”
lin jing pointed at the box and said:
“now, drip a few drops of your blood into the center of this box.”
hearing lin jing’s words, lin jue instantly recalled the first time he met lin jing, when lin jing had asked for his blood.
lin jue couldn’t help but think:
“could it be that the senior wanted my blood for this purple box back then?”
however, since lin jing had said so, lin jue naturally wouldn’t refuse.
so, lin jue concentrated spiritual power on his fingertip, made a cut, and forced out his blood.
as lin jue’s droplets of blood fell onto the box, it slowly began to change.
a purple light emanated from the box, growing increasingly intense.
however, it seemed that lin jue’s bloodline was not pure enough, and the light emitted by the box could not compare to the brightness when lin jing first opened the inheritance box.
moreover, the inheritance box showed no sign of opening.
lin jing frowned immediately, puzzled by the situation…
there was a reaction from the box, but it would not open.
lin jing did not understand why this was happening.
at this moment, lin jue watched the purple light radiating from the box and was also stunned, unsure of what to do next.
even the wound started to show signs of healing, and the blood no longer dripped.
it seemed that those few drops of blood were simply not enough to unlock the box.
so, lin jing said to lin jue once more:
“keep going…”
lin jue paused for a moment, looked at his finger, and quickly realized what to do.
he uttered an “oh,” used spiritual power to widen the wound on his finger, and began to let his blood drip again.
just like that…
as lin jue’s blood continued to flow out, landing on the box, the purple glow from the treasure box grew even stronger.
finally.
after a while, lin jing felt that the blood lin jue had lost could fill a small jade bottle.
the inheritance box then made “click click” sounds.
subsequently, the purple light faded, and the box reappeared.
but this time, a crack showed up on the box; it had obviously been opened.
lin jing then directly said to lin jue:
“come, open this box…”
lin jue looked doubtfully at lin jing, who nodded his head.
afterward, lin jue reached out to open the box.
he barely touched it, and the lid of the box loosened, revealing a gap.
lin jue then lifted the lid of the box.
however, upon opening the box, lin jue was stunned.
because.
the seemingly exquisite box was completely empty inside; there was nothing at all…
