chapter 417: chapter 117 past events
“originally, i had thought myself certainly doomed to die, but just then, support from the three major sects arrived…”
“that’s why i survived.”
lin jing looked at li tangyu and li qingqing, feeling somewhat nostalgic.
the two of them had been raised by their grandfather since they were very young, sharing a deep bond with him, much like lin jing had with his own grandfather.
now, their grandfather too had passed away.
leaving behind just the two siblings…
after listening to li qingqing’s recount, li tangyu gazed into the distance, his eyes unfocused, as if reminiscing about something…
a moment later.
li tangyu turned back to li qingqing and continued to ask,
“then what happened? how did you get here?”
li qingqing replied,
“after we were rescued, we were taken to the stronghold of the three major sects, where we lived for less than half a year, before the howling sky wolf clan attacked again…”
“thus, the three major sects arranged for us to evacuate and brought us to this demonic monster sea.”
“after arriving at the demonic monster sea, i knew that you, brother, said you were heading to the eastern spirit realm, and you would definitely pass through this sea.”
“i wanted to find you, so i left the group alone and set out to look for you…”
“and so, little sparrow and i have been drifting in the demonic monster sea for several years.”
“until not long ago, when i was captured by the black shark gang and met you all…”
li tangyu looked at li qingqing with an expression of distress on his face,
“how could you be so foolish? the demonic monster sea is so complex, how could you just barge in?”
nevertheless, li qingqing smiled and said,
“although i faced some setbacks, the outcome was good. not only did i meet you, brother, but i also met brother lin jing…”
“seeing you both, i’m truly happy.”
with that said, li qingqing turned her gaze to lin jing,
“brother lin jing…”
“what exactly happened when you went into the demon race secret realm?”
“when the demon race secret realm was in chaos, not many people escaped, and i thought you were gone in there too.”
“how did you escape?”
“and your cultivation…”
“you were only in the qi refinement realm originally, but now you’ve become a golden core immortal. how did you do it?”
li qingqing looked at lin jing with a series of questions.
at this moment, li tangyu also turned to lin jing, saying,
“yes…”
“when i left back then, brother lin, you should have been at the ninth level of qi refinement, right? how did you advance to the golden core stage so quickly?”
lin jing then offered a wry smile and said,
“about my cultivation level, i’ve actually been hiding it from you since the beginning.”
li qingqing looked at lin jing with a puzzled expression and said,
“could it be that you were already a golden core immortal back then, brother lin jing?”
li tangyu looked at lin jing just as puzzled.
lin jing shook his head and explained,
“in fact, my cultivation level was indeed not high at the beginning, and most of the time, it was between qing qing and qing ling.”
“however, i had consumed many pure elixirs while cultivating, which greatly accelerated my practice.”
“to cover up the abnormal speed of my cultivation, i’ve been hiding my true level all this time.”
now.
facing li tangyu and li qingqing again, there was no longer a need for those past concealments, and so, lin jing decided to reveal everything.
of course, except for the matter of the system space.
the system space was his greatest secret, which he couldn’t share with anyone, no matter who they were.
after hearing this, li qingqing then expressed her doubts,
“pure elixirs…”
“where did you get so many pure elixirs? could it be that you bought them from the elixir valley heir?”
“but the elixirs from the elixir valley heir are also very limited, and besides, there are so many people fighting over them…”
li tangyu, as if he had realized something, looked at lin jing with gleaming eyes,
“the elixir valley heir hasn’t been around for very long…”
“and brother lin, you came to nanshan market around that same time…”
at this point, li qingqing suddenly had an epiphany and said,
“brother lin jing…”
“could it be that elixir valley heir is you?”
lin jing looked at them and then nodded,
“yes…”
“that elixir valley heir was indeed an identity i assumed.”
li qingqing, extremely surprised, responded,
“i never imagined that the elixir valley heir would be you, brother lin jing…”
“brother lin jing…”
“how were you able to refine so many pure elixirs?”
li tangyu seemed to understand and thus, he spoke to li qingqing,
“do you remember the rumor about the elixir valley heir that was spread before?”
li qingqing thought for a moment and then nodded,
“of course, i remember…”
“it’s said that elixir valley might have inherited the ancient alchemy path of an ancient alchemy family.”
“that’s why their elixir production rate of pure elixirs is much higher than other alchemists.”
li tangyu nodded and said,
“right, the alchemy techniques of the ancient alchemy family…”
“i only learned something after entering this demonic monster sea…”
“inside the inner sea of the demonic monster sea, there once was an incredibly powerful ancient alchemy family, but for some reason, this family began to decline ten thousand years ago.”
“this decline continued until a thousand years ago; it wasn’t until a thousand years ago that the ancient alchemy family was completely wiped out.”
“and that ancient alchemy family was surnamed lin…”
