Chapter 93 - Ashen Face (2/2)
Lin Yangzhi and Lin Yaer looked at each other, then Lin Yaer smiled, “We’ve met him.”
Lin Jiang nodded his head in satisfaction, “I really didn’t think that my nephew Xuanzhi could rise up from the ashes through the awakening of his craftsman soulfire. Our Lin family is truly fortunate!”

Lin Jiang continued to say happily without noticing the strange and ugly expressions on his children’s faces, “This truly is a great fortune for our Lin family. Yangzhi, Yaer, the two of you must be on friendly terms with Lin Xuanzhi. I believe you guys have already witnessed how talented Xuanzhi was before, so I have no doubt that in the future, he’ll definitely become the Lin family’s new leader. And by then….”
Without waiting for Lin Jiang to finish, Lin Yangzhi interrupted impatiently as he couldn’t bear to listen any further, “Dad, you keep talking about Lin Xuanzhi, but what kind of benefits could we gain if he becomes the next leader of the Lin family?”
“Yeah, Dad.” Lin Yaer rolled her eyes in her heart, but her face remained serene as she said, “That Lin Xuanzhi is so arrogant and contemptuous, we wouldn’t know how he would treat us if he becomes the Lin family’s young master in the future.”
“Why do the two of you think that way?” Lin Jiang was somewhat astonished. When he saw the impatient and unhappy expressions on his children’s faces, he suddenly understood a few things.

Lin Jiang calmed down before he said in all earnestness, “Yangzhi, Yaer. Do the two of you know how difficult it is for a family to produce just one craftsman?”
Lin Yaer rolled her eyes, “Dad, our family already has two craftsmen.”
Lin Jiang muttered, “Sis-in-law and Bai Susu aren’t part of the Lin family, the Lin blood doesn’t run through their veins. As the saying goes, ‘when one person achieves Dao his poultry and dogs ascend as well’, no matter how much they accomplish in the future, it would be of no help to us.”

Lin Yangzhi frowned and said unhappily, “Didn’t he only cultivate the craftsman path recently? By the time he reaches the Hardened Body Stage, it would be the end for him. Don’t forget that Lin Xuanzhi’s Dantian Qi sea had long since been destroyed.”
Lin Jiang nodded and said without much concern, “Of course Father knows that. When I was at Fifth elder’s place, I asked him the same question. Fifth elder’s intention is to go all out to help Xuanzhi find a sky-level Restore Yuan Pill!”
“What?!” Lin Yangzhi and Lin Yaer shouted in surprise at the same time.
“Dad, don’t you know that even without taking into consideration whether the Restore Yuan Pill exists or not, just its price alone isn’t something that our Lin family can afford!” Lin Yaer was so anxious that she didn’t care about maintaining her poise anymore. She stomped her feet and gritted her teeth as she said, “That’s so unfair, I won’t accept it!”
“Who can accept that?” Lin Yangzhi had also raised his voice. His gaze was fierce and threatening as he gritted his teeth, “Why should the Lin family sacrifice so much just for that one Lin Xuanzhi? Who in the Lin family would be able to accept such outright bias?”
Lin Jiang didn’t expect his son and daughter pair to react so strongly to what he said. He was instantly at a loss, and was also somewhat unhappy. He furrowed his thick brows, “Aren’t the two of you being a bit too childish? You can only see what the Lin family is offering him now, but have you guys ever thought about how much honour and benefits he can bring to the Lin family after he recovers? If our family were to have a craftsman who is of the Teal soul level or above, powerhouses from all over the continent would have to see the Lin family in a different light. And the major sects would naturally relax the entry requirements for our Lin family as well — these are all benefits that money can’t buy.”
“Hehe……” Lin Yangzhi sneered, then clenched his fist and said, “Even without relying on that Lin Xuanzhi, I, Lin Yangzhi has already become one of Sky Peak Sect’s inner disciples. And today I’m already a Foundation Stage first layer cultivator, but that Lin Xuanzhi is at most only at the fifth layer of his Refining Qi Stage, so why the hell should I ingratiate myself with him?”

“It’s not ‘ingratiate’, but ‘befriend’.” Lin Jiang said, “And also, you’re already 24 years old this year, but Lin Xuanzhi is only 17. You took such a long time to breakthrough to the fifth layer of your Refining Qi stage, but Lin Xuanzhi had abolished his cultivation and restarted his path before reaching the fifth layer of his Refining Qi Stage today.”
After he said that, there was no need for Lin Jiang to say anything more. Just from the shocked look on Lin Yangzhi and Lin Yaer’s faces, he could tell that these two kids have finally understood how amazing Lin Xuanzhi was.
Lin Jiang shook his head and threw them the words “think through it carefully for yourselves”, before he entered his room.
A tempestuous storm surged through Lin Yanzhi’s heart 一 there was no doubt about it, the Qi that he had sensed from Lin Xuanzhi’s body definitely belonged to a Refining Qi Stage fifth layer cultivator. But how long did it take for him to reach that kind of level?

Terrifying, detestable, enviable!
No, he cannot lose to Lin Xuanzhi. He’ll definitely not let that Lin Xuanzhi suppress him!
The young master position of the Lin family will absolutely belong to him! If he can’t have the Lin family, then he might as well destroy it!

The next morning, the Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen who had been meditating for one whole night opened the doors to their rooms at the same time, then met face-to-face across the corridor.
Yan Tianhen revealed a bright smile on his face before he turned around the corridor and ran up to Lin Xuanzhi. He pulled Lin Xuanzhi’s hands and smiled, “Dage, I felt a concentrated gust of Qi pour into your room this morning. What good item did you craft again this time?”
Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Tianhen’s small face and couldn’t help but smile back at him as well.
His jade white hands lightly tapped on Yan Tianhen’s nose and a faint smile appeared on his face, “You have a really good nose, don’t you? I did indeed craft another magic tool last night.”
“What is it?” Yan Tianhen asked out of curiosity.
Lin Xuanzhi flipped his hand over and took out a fan with a distinct skeleton.
The fan’s bamboo strips were radiating a warm glow, and it was both transparent and bright. One look at it and you would be able to tell that this was definitely no ordinary magic tool.

“This is……” Yan Tianhen took the fan, and after he opened it he scrutinised it carefully and even took a whiff of its scent.
“You won’t be able to smell anything from it at all.” Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t help but laugh as he shook his head, “This is a Rocking Sky Fan. It can serve as an offensive, defensive or auxilliary equipment; it’s a high-grade magic tool.”
Yan Tianhen looked the fan in his hand up and down once, then said with slight regret, “It’s actually not a top-grade magic tool? That’s a bit unexpected.”
Lin Xuanzhi almost couldn’t control himself from laughing, “Dummy, do you think top-grade magic tools are crafted so easily? I was already at my limit when I crafted this kind of three-in-one magic tool with a high-grade quality.”

At the very least, for the current Lin Xuanzhi, this was the most he could do.
Yan Tianhen stuck his tongue out, then blinked his eyes a bit mischievously as he said, “Dage, in my opinion, you’re just like a god who can casually make top-grade magic tools whenever you want.”
“You think too highly of me.” Lin Xuanzhi shook his head, “The appearance of a top-grade magic tool requires favourable timing, geographical and social conditions. It can’t be crafted that easily.”

Yan Tianhen said, “If Dage had more time, Dage would have definitely been able to craft a top-grade Rocking Sky Fan, so……is there any urgent need for Dage to craft this magic tool overnight?”
Lin Xuanzhi smiled as he said, “There is indeed a need. Today, I’ll be bringing you to the auction house.”
