Supreme Elixir God

Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Far from Optimistic

"You are..."

The two attendants were momentarily stunned upon hearing this, their gaze assessing Lin Ruoxue, and soon they reacted, faces showing astonishment, "Eldest Miss?"

Lin Ruoxue’s origins were extraordinary; she was the eldest daughter of the Lin Family in Celestial Realm City. Her father was the current Patriarch, a Great Saint Level expert, with a reputation that shook the entire Dusk Wind Star Realm.

Since Lin Ruoxue left Dusk Wind five years ago to go to the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, she hadn’t returned until now.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly appeared here today, and naturally, the two attendants didn’t recognize her at first glance.

"The Eldest Miss has returned, report to the Patriarch quickly."

Though surprised, the two did not forget to welcome Lin Ruoxue and Ji Chen into the mansion.

One of them was about to report but was stopped by Lin Ruoxue, "No need, where is father? I’ll go meet him myself."

Lin Ruoxue didn’t want to alarm too many people and wanted to surprise her father with her return.

"The Patriarch should be in the main hall, some distinguished guests have arrived at the Lin Family today," said the two attendants.

"Distinguished guests?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue was slightly stunned but didn’t ask further questions.

Soon, under her guidance, the two of them headed towards the direction of the main hall.

"Patriarch Lin, to be honest, the situation with the old Patriarch is dire, and even we are at a loss. It’s best to be mentally prepared,"

Before entering the family hall, Lin Ruoxue and Ji Chen heard the discussions coming from inside.

The voice speaking was slightly hoarse, indicating an elderly person.

"The old Patriarch has deep-seated injuries, unless a Divine Medicine is found in the restricted areas, ordinary elixirs today may not suffice to prolong his life." Hearing these words, Lin Ruoxue’s brow furrowed.

The old Patriarch they were discussing was, of course, her grandfather.

When she left the Dusk Wind Star Realm for the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, her grandfather’s condition was already not promising.

But being a Great Saint Realm expert, Lin Ruoxue assumed her grandfather could hold on for at least another ten or more years.

She hadn’t expected that in just five years, it would already reach a life-threatening stage?

"In today’s restricted areas, any harvestable Divine Medicine has long been claimed by the various major powers. Unless delving deep into the restricted area for a Divine Medicine, where survival is tenuous, risking more lives in the Lin Family would be a decision my father wouldn’t agree to, even if he knew,"

spoke a middle-aged man in the family hall.

Lin Jianting, the current Patriarch of Lin, and Lin Ruoxue’s father.

At this moment, he frowned and sighed before continuing, "I ask the esteemed Pill Masters to think of any Elixir that might prolong my father’s life?"

"Difficult,"

In the hall, three white-haired elders were seated, all top alchemists from various realms of Dusk Wind, one reaching the Ninth Grade level, the other two possessing Eighth Grade attainments.

The Lin Family invited them to find a way to treat the old Patriarch’s internal injuries.

But the answers they received all seemed bleak.

"Father."

At this moment, a voice came from outside the family hall.

Lin Jianting was slightly stunned, and, looking over, he immediately recognized Lin Ruoxue, his face lighting up with joy, "Ruoxue, why have you come back?"

"When I left back then, grandfather’s condition wasn’t good, and I was worried, so I came back early to see him. I didn’t expect it to have become this severe?" she frowned.

Based on what she gathered from Lin Jianting’s conversation with the three Pill Masters, her grandfather’s situation seemed to be critical.

"Yes, his condition worsened significantly half a month ago, to the point where he’s been comatose and hasn’t regained consciousness..." said Lin Jianting.

"Patriarch Lin, could it be that this is..."

The three Pill Masters exchanged glances, inquiring.

Five years ago, during the Dusk Wind’s gathering of heroes, Lin Ruoxue, daughter of the Lin Family in Celestial Realm City, emerged as one of the strongest young kings, her name known to all.

Later, she, along with some Saint Heirs of Sects and Young Masters of Noble Families, was recruited by the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, leaving Dusk Wind Star Realm.

Since then, Dusk Wind entered a prolonged silence, lacking the clashes of such top young kings like Lin Ruoxue, as though the entire realm lost its life force.

"This is my daughter, Lin Ruoxue; I presume the three esteemed masters have heard of her, so no introduction is needed?" Lin Jianting said with a smile.

Speaking of Lin Ruoxue, as her father, his face naturally showed a sense of pride.

"Greetings to the three masters." Lin Ruoxue slightly bowed.

Yet the three didn’t dare take it lightly. In terms of seniority, Lin Ruoxue was indeed far below them.

But now she was a disciple of the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion, and as the top alchemists of Dusk Wind, they understood well what kind of place the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion was.

It’s no exaggeration to say that anyone who joins the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion is among the most exceptional talents of their time, possessing endless potential and talent.

And it means they have such a massive entity backing them as the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion.

"Miss Ruoxue, your return home is timely, the old Patriarch’s situation is dire, perhaps..."

The Ninth-Grade Alchemist spoke, pausing briefly before sighing, "You might still have the chance to see the old Patriarch one last time."

"Is grandfather’s situation truly this grave?" Lin Ruoxue frowned.

"Yes."

The Ninth-Grade Alchemist replied, "Though my accomplishments in Martial Dao are not high, regarding Alchemy Dao, in all of Dusk Wind, I dare say if I claim second, no one would dare claim first. Yet I am helpless regarding the old Patriarch’s condition. Miss Ruoxue, please be mentally prepared."

"Junior Brother..."

At this point, Lin Ruoxue’s heart was filled with worry.

She knew Ji Chen was also a Ninth-Grade Alchemist, but the person before her was the highest in the current era of alchemy in Dusk Wind.

If even he was powerless, perhaps Ji Chen would probably be at a loss too...

Thinking this, her gaze shifted to Ji Chen.

"To find out exactly what, I need to take a look myself." Ji Chen spoke.

He didn’t make any presumptions; hearing the Pill Masters’ words indicated that Lin Family’s old Patriarch’s condition was indeed not optimistic. Naturally, before examining the situation first-hand, he couldn’t guarantee anything.

"And this is...?"

Lin Jianting and the three Pill Masters were all slightly stunned.

They had noticed Ji Chen’s arrival earlier, and upon hearing Lin Ruoxue’s way of addressing him, they realized the young man in white might be her junior brother from the Celestial Emperor’s Mansion.

But what did he mean by these words?

Want to examine the old Patriarch’s injuries himself?
