Chapter 2111: Chapter 2108: Treason Against Heaven and Earth
"Actually, getting the Elixir Recipe isn’t much of a help, because some of the herbs don’t exist in the Human Realm, and besides, it’s impossible to make." Xu Feibai added another remark.
"Even Oda Manaka can’t do it?" Lin Tian countered. The reason why he could make elixirs was hugely thanks to Oda Manaka’s pharmacist notes. From this, it could be seen that she was a decent pharmacist.
Xu Feibai shook his head and said, "No, unless Emperor Shennong is reborn, perhaps he could decipher it."
"You’re exaggerating. Emperor Shennong’s skills in making elixirs might have reached a godly level, especially with the Shennong Ding as a Holy Artifact for alchemy. Would such a trivial Elixir Recipe need him to intervene?" Lin Tian expressed disbelief. In this world, there were very few things worthy of Emperor Shennong’s involvement.
Xu Feibai shrugged and said casually, "Maybe, but I’m not a pharmacist, it’s just a feeling."
"By the way, when Jiang Chen is resurrected, you might become his pawn. What will you do then?" Lin Tian turned to ask.
"From the moment I was chosen, my fate was already sealed," Xu Feibai said flatly.
"You can choose to leave, leave your family, leave Jiang Chen." Lin Tian frowned slightly, feeling this wasn’t Xu Feibai’s character. Xu Feibai should be the kind of poetic and carefree person, not one who submits to others.
Xu Feibai still wore a calm face, as if he had seen through everything: "No matter where you go, you can’t escape the call of the Zombie Ancestor, and it’s the same for you. If Nu Ba calls you, no matter where you are or what you’re doing, you’ll return to her side involuntarily."
"Is it that terrifying?" Lin Tian exclaimed, genuinely startled. If the Zombie Ancestor’s control was this strong, then other zombies could forget about having any freedom.
"Are you scared?" Xu Feibai gave Lin Tian a bland look.
Lin Tian curled his lips, irritably saying, "Scared of what? A man faces death as fearlessly as a bird faces the sky. What’s there to be afraid of? I’m saying, what if I’m with my girlfriend doing the deed, and she summons me, interrupting my good time. Wouldn’t that be quite a buzzkill?"
Hearing Lin Tian’s words, Xu Feibai was stunned, shaking his head, he started laughing helplessly.
"That’s more like it, smile a little, and you’ll look ten years younger. You’re already several hundred years old, always with that cold face, you’ll soon turn into an old man a thousand years old." Lin Tian patted his shoulder, looking the part of a life coach.
Xu Feibai said helplessly, "Let’s go, we shouldn’t keep Ancestor Xu waiting."
The two left the mountain top, descending back to the manor. Lin Tian followed the guy winding around until they arrived in front of an ancient-style villa. The trouble with wealthy families is that their places are so large, you might get lost if you’re not careful.
Lin Tian had just sat in the living room for a short while when Ancestor Xu descended the stairs. At this point, Ancestor Xu had changed into modern attire, looking ten years younger. Well, for someone over two thousand years old, ten years could be almost negligible.
"I’m not sure what Ancestor Xu has summoned me for?" Lin Tian took the initiative to speak, lest this young-looking old man goes round in circles again. Sometimes, living for too long made one quite talkative.
But Lin Tian still underestimated this over two-thousand-year-old person. Ancestor Xu didn’t answer directly but instead smiled and said, "Do you know how the Fangshi found the elixir?"
Lin Tian frowned, puzzled, "Didn’t he follow that golden leaf’s instructions?"
"Do you know what kind of Underground Palace the Fangshi found?" Ancestor Xu asked again, but this time he didn’t wait for Lin Tian to speak, and immediately continued: "It was Jiang Chen’s Substitute Tomb, left behind before his death. When he died, the plan for his resurrection would activate, and that Fangshi happened to come into contact with the golden leaf, getting involved in Jiang Chen’s revival plan."
"What does that have to do with me?" Lin Tian didn’t know what kind of trick was up his sleeve, nor did he understand his intention.
"Of course it has something to do with you. Among the four Zombie Ancestors, Jiang Chen’s strength is the greatest. A good bird chooses a tree to nest in, a good minister chooses a master to serve. I hope you stay with the Xu Family, so no matter how the world changes in the future, you’ll stand unbeaten." Ancestor Xu finally spoke truthfully, offering an olive branch to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian laughed, laughing so wantonly: "Jiang Chen is the strongest? Did he rank himself? All right, let’s assume he’s the strongest among the four giants, so what? I, Lin Tian, will not submit to him. I don’t need a master, I’ll decide my own affairs."
"Decide your own affairs?" Ancestor Xu wasn’t angry, smiling slightly, said, "You’re afraid you can’t decide for yourself either. As the bloodline of the Zombie Ancestor, once summoned, you’d return to the Zombie Ancestor’s side involuntarily, wouldn’t you? Yet, Jiang Chen can help free you from Nu Ba’s control."
Lin Tian touched his brow, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Sorry, I just found out, and besides, why would I want to break free from Nu Ba’s control? Returning to her side would be perfect; I’ll marry her, become her man, and have a brood of little zombies with her. Not too many, eleven is fine, then we could form a football team in the future."
"You... you..." Ancestor Xu was completely taken aback by Lin Tian’s words, and after a long pause, he finally squeezed out one sentence: "You’re... simply insane, rebellious!"
Xu Feibai was on the side, turning his head elsewhere, unsure whether he was holding back a laugh or couldn’t bear to listen anymore.
"Yes, I’m indeed rebellious, zombies themselves are against nature, so what if I’m rebellious." Lin Tian said nonchalantly, just wanting the old man to have nothing to say, to make him submit to Jiang Chen, dream on.
However, the old man wasn’t that easily thrown off balance. He quickly regained his composure and then said calmly, "So you’re rejecting my invitation then?"
"I believe my Mandarin is very standard, the message I’m conveying is quite clear." Lin Tian affirmed.
"Then I will have to keep you by force." Ancestor Xu’s face suddenly turned cold, his eyes sharp, the previous warmth and cordiality completely vanished.
"I also want to see what Ancestor Xu is really capable of." Lin Tian was not one to back down from a fight; if a fight was to happen, so be it, whether he could win or not was another matter, but submitting was out of the question.
"I won’t disappoint you." Ancestor Xu said coldly, his eyes shifted, the pitch-black pupils instantly turned green, and an overwhelming aura emanated from him, like a boundless tidal wave, pressing down on Lin Tian.
Lin Tian was shocked, couldn’t help shouting: "Green eyes, Second-level Zombie!"
The four Zombie Ancestors are red-eyed Level 1 Zombies, green eyes are the existence second only to the Zombie Ancestor. Until now, Lin Tian has seen a Second-level Zombie for the first time, and he himself was only a yellow-eyed Level 3.
Which means, he was a whole rank lower than Ancestor Xu, a gap like an insurmountable chasm.
A shadow flashed by, Lin Tian had no time to think and blocked as fast as he could, stopping the shadow. However, a tremendous force surged from his arm, unstoppable.
Uncontrollably, Lin Tian was knocked flying by this force, like a meteor, shooting out of the villa. Outside the villa, many large trees were planted, along with fake mountains and giant stones.
Lin Tian, like an armor-piercing shell, shot through trees, pierced through fake mountains, shattered giant stones, continuing to fly, destroying countless things, and finally smashing into an open space, blasting out a huge pit in the ground, and finally stopped.
