Chapter 2085: Chapter 2082: Status
In order to cure her sister, Miss is willing to make any sacrifice, including herself.
"Lingyu gave me an elixir recipe. The formula requires the bloodlines of the four great zombies, plus Cain’s bloodline, and then it is refined into an elixir using the Shennong Ding. This elixir can cure Xuanxuan’s foreign energy," Lin Tian said simply and affirmatively.
"Really?" Miss was pleasantly surprised, but she quickly realized the difficulty of completing this task.
Cain’s bloodline was easier to consider; at least she knew that Charlotte was from the Blood Clan. However, obtaining the bloodlines of the four great Zombie Ancestors seemed as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Not to mention, they also had to find the Shennong Ding, which, in the Alchemy World, is an existence akin to a Divine Artifact. Its search difficulty might be greater than that of the Zombie Ancestors’ bloodlines.
Furthermore, even if everything was in place, refining it requires a high-level Pharmacist. Each step is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
"I’ve already collected the bloodlines of the five major bloodlines, the only thing missing is the Shennong Ding..." Lin Tian roughly recounted the process of obtaining the bloodlines, leaving out the parts related to his identity; everything that should and shouldn’t be said was said.
Although he spoke simply and in a relaxed tone, in Miss’s ears, his words rolled like thunder, leaving her dumbfounded.
When obtaining Cain’s and Houqing’s bloodlines, everything that happened in England, the blood moon phenomenon when getting Jiang Chen’s blood, opposing the Netherworld’s events, and the experiences in the Netherworld when acquiring Ying Gou’s blood.
The Blood Clan, the millennium holy war, Blood Sea City, fortresses, Evil Spirit Tide, Mist Forest, desolate bone plains, Mirage Demons, exotic beasts, Giant Pigs, the Blood Sea, Mist Island...
Scenes after scenes surged into her mind like a tide, threatening to overwhelm and suffocate her.
She always thought Lin Tian was someone who delegated responsibilities, but at this moment, she realized how much Lin Tian had silently done and experienced. The dangers and difficulties were enough to kill her a thousand times over, but Lin Tian endured them all.
A tear rolled from her eye, then like a string of broken pearls, followed by more, Miss cried—not for her sister, but for Lin Tian.
She suddenly turned around, embracing Lin Tian forcefully, tears flowing fiercely, soaking his clothes.
She needed to hold him tightly to feel at ease, fearing that Lin Tian would suddenly disappear because everything he experienced was so terrifying, she feared Lin Tian had perished in those events and was merely a spirit returning.
"I’m so foolish, I hate myself so much for being unable to do anything; I should have been the one to bear all this." Miss choked out, feeling very guilty.
Lin Tian sighed to himself, knowing Miss would be this saddened he wouldn’t have said anything; this wasn’t what he intended.
"Ahem, Miss, your chest is too large, I can’t breathe," Lin Tian said deliberately, his words quite bold.
Sure enough, Miss’s face quickly flushed red, even her earlobes reddened. She pushed Lin Tian away, giving him a "fierce" glance, both annoyed and ashamed, no longer dwelling on sadness or guilt.
Diverting her attention was exactly Lin Tian’s aim, though to be honest, Miss’s chest was indeed large, approaching Mrs. Xiao’s.
"Thank you, although I know these two words are too light, I still have to say them," Miss said solemnly, wiping her tears away.
"I didn’t say this to receive thanks," Lin Tian said calmly, and to have teased Miss and still receive thanks, that was genuinely unprecedented.
Miss’s eyes flickered, thinking of another implication from his words—not for thanks, could it be for something else, like wanting me?
Her heart fluttered chaotically; as a beautiful CEO, she knew Lin Tian might very well be this straightforward, but then she heard him continue.
"I’m saying this to find the Shennong Ding as soon as possible. Is there any news about it?" Lin Tian inquired.
Miss was momentarily stunned, feeling an inexplicable disappointment. Then she blushed for having such thoughts, wondering what she was expecting.
She took a deep breath, calming her thoughts, and said, "Master has indeed heard of the Shennong Ding, but doesn’t know its whereabouts. However, Master said if anyone in the Ancient Martial World knows about the Shennong Ding, it would surely be the Langya Pavilion, Ling Zishan Pavilion Master."
"It’s Langya Pavilion and Zishan Pavilion Master again," Lin Tian said helplessly. Though he held a Langya Pavilion Jade Pendant and was an invited guest by Ling Zishan, he actually didn’t even know where Langya Pavilion was.
"Master also revealed a very important piece of information. The Ancient Martial World is about to host a major martial arts competition, open to talents under the age of thirty, and it’s being held at Langya Pavilion," Miss added.
"Competition?" Lin Tian appeared indifferent, seemingly uninterested. What concerned him more was how to enter Langya Pavilion.
Miss smiled wryly; with Lin Tian’s strength, he was outstanding not just among the youth but even in the older generations. At Qingshuang Pavilion, his fight with Tang Xuan Su could be said to have made him famous in the Ancient Martial World.
Moreover, knowing the details of the Netherworld trip, she found Lin Tian’s strength even more unfathomable.
"Wang Wanxi is one of the judges for this competition. You can find her and go with her to Langya Pavilion. Don’t you have Ling Pavilion Master’s Jade Pendant? Even if you’re not a contestant or a descendant of an Ancient Martial family, you still have the qualification to go to Langya Pavilion," Miss reminded.
"Senior?" Lin Tian was slightly taken aback, finding it hard to reconcile how young and beautiful Wang Wanxi looked with the title of ’senior.’
Miss seemed to understand his thoughts, explaining, "Aunt Wang has already reached Mid Innate and is worthy of being called a senior. In Ancient Martial practice, excellence is respected."
"Tch..." Lin Tian chuckled disdainfully, feeling defiant: "I’m not weak, yet no one respects me."
Miss shook her head, smiling: "You, at last, offended many families at Qingshuang Pavilion. As a young man with no sect or family, yet stronger than their family heirs, you embarrassed them. How could they respect you? Especially the Ji family and the Situ family, you completely ruined their plans."
"They didn’t pursue you probably because Ling Pavilion Master intervened. Also, you’re not just strong, you’re ridiculously strong, okay?" Miss was exasperated. She knew Lin Tian’s temperament, akin to a dragon’s scales—touching them meant big trouble.
Lin Tian chuckled, saying plainly: "Seems like to gain status in the Ancient Martial World, it’s not just about strength; background is also crucial."
By age, Wang Wanxi might be considered a junior, but after reaching Mid Innate, she gained a revered status. That’s because, in the secular world, there’s the Yun Family, a wealthy clan, and in the Ancient Martial World, there’s the Wang Family, an Ancient Martial household.
Both her in-laws and birth family were prestigious.
Though some families looked down on her marrying into the secular world, in modern society, wealth is a form of hard power—an undeniable fact.
"When does it start?" Lin Tian asked directly, regarding status merely as a fleeting thought, indifferent to the opinions of those families.
