When most of the people had left, Lin Xiu was brought to the clan conference hall alone.
As soon as he entered the main entrance, the clansman who brought him in retreated. Lin Xiu looked at Lin Wentian, who had his back facing him in the middle of the conference hall. Lin Xiu was shocked to discover that the current Patriarch of the Lin Family, the strongest Harmonious Spirit expert, had a desolate back view.
Lin Wentian turned around and looked at Lin Xiu with a loving gaze that Lin Xiu could not understand.
He waved at Lin Xiu and signaled him to come forward. Lin Wentian looked at his grandson who was taller than him and sighed, "Lin Xiu, come over and let grandpa take a good look at you."
Although he was a little conflicted with this grandfather who had never helped his family, for the sake of the 100-year Purple jade spirit ginseng, Lin Xiu still walked forward obediently.
Noticing Lin Xiu's expression, Lin Wentian knew that his grandson still held a grudge against him.
Lin Wentian felt a sense of loneliness for no reason. His son had yet to recover from his injuries and his grandson was also dissatisfied with him. Was it really so difficult to have a happy family?
"Your family has suffered all these years." Lin Wentian looked at his grandson with a gentle tone.
But Lin Xiu did not have any reaction. Since you are my grandfather, why did you not care about me and my son all these years!
As though he could tell what Lin Xiu was thinking, Lin Wentian did not explain further and said a strange sentence, "Lin Xiu, no matter what, you must remember that only the clan will never harm you."
Without waiting for Lin Xiu to react, Lin Wentian continued, "You want this 100-year Purple jade spirit ginseng?"
Lin Xiu nodded his head solemnly, his attitude was clear.
Seeing Lin Xiu's expression, Lin Wentian's heart ached again.
"It's for your father, right?"
Lin Wentian adjusted his emotions as quickly as possible and said in a serious tone, "The 100-year Purple jade spirit ginseng is the clan's treasure. Not only is it very beneficial for the cultivation of the Blood Refinement Realm, but even some Harmonious Spirit realm experts need it."
Hearing Lin Wentian's words, Lin Xiu frowned. He could tell that even if he won first place in the family tournament, it would be difficult to get the 100-year purple jade spirit ginseng. But Lin Wentian did not reject him directly, which meant that there was still room for negotiation.
Thus, Lin Xiu endured his injuries and bowed to Lin Wentian, "Clan Leader, please grant my request."
Lin Wentian sighed. Seeing Lin Xiu like this, Lin Wentian, who felt that he owed the father and son a lot, no longer refused.
"As long as you can successfully advance in the City Lord's Mansion Selection in a month and enter the Gui Yuan Sect, this Hundred Year Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng will be yours."
Although Lin Wentian was the patriarch of the Lin Family, the 100-year Purple Jade Spirit Ginseng was the foundation of the family and he could not decide on it alone. But as long as Lin Xiu could join the Gui Yuan Sect, the others in the family would have nothing to say.
Upon hearing Lin Wentian's reply, Lin Xiu's eyes burned with passion. He had to obtain this 100 year Amethyst Spirit Ginseng. For this, he had to successfully enter the Gui Yuan Sect.
After helping Lin Xiu up, Lin Wentian gave Lin Xiu two bottles of elixirs, three bottles of Spiritual Pills and one bottle of Bone Tempering Powder.
The Spiritual Pills could help Lin Xiu accumulate elemental energy quickly. Whether it was for the City Lord's Mansion Selection in a month or for the bet to break into the Bone Tempering Realm in two months, Lin Xiu urgently needed these elixirs. With his wealth, he could not afford these elixirs that cost a few hundred gold coins in the market.
As for the other bottle of Bone Tempering Powder, although it could not be compared to the priceless Bone Tempering Pill, it was still a precious item. Its effect was to assist a warrior in breaking through to the Bone Tempering Realm when they reached the peak of the Blood Refining Realm. Compared to the Spiritual Pills, the Bone Tempering Powder was undoubtedly more valuable.
This time, Lin Xiu did not decline and immediately accepted the two bottles of elixirs.
This made Lin Wentian even more impressed. Cultivation was not about being influenced by emotions. Only one's own strength was the foundation.
After rubbing his temples, the exhausted Lin Wentian gestured for Lin Xiu to leave. He then sat on the chair and did not move.
After leaving the conference hall, Lin Xiu did not stop for a moment and headed straight for his home. He wanted to tell Lin Zhong that he had obtained first place in the family tournament.
"Creak."
As soon as he opened the door, Lin Xiu was surprised to see that his father was sitting at the table and the table was filled with all kinds of food that Lin Xiu liked.
"Why are you still in a daze? Come over quickly and have a drink with me." Lin Zhong said when he saw Lin Xiu standing at the door.
But after seeing Lin Xiu's injuries, a trace of worry flashed in Lin Zhong's eyes.
"Is it because of the Amethyst Spirit Ginseng?" Lin Zhong's tone was a little self-blaming.
"Father, I have to get it!" Lin Xiu's tone was firm.
"It's been hard on you, child."
After sitting at the table, Lin Xiu realized that there was a cup filled with wine beside his bowl and chopsticks.
"Xiu 'er, from today onwards, you've grown up and are a man." Lin Zhong looked at his son and changed the topic. He did not want Lin Xiu to see his weakness.
Lin Xiu hurriedly nodded his head to show that he was no longer a child.
Who knew that Lin Zhong would suddenly change the topic and his tone became malicious, "Since that's the case, which man doesn't know how to drink? Daddy will teach you a lesson today."
Lin Zhong ignored Lin Xiu's sullen face and filled the cups in front of the two of them. Then, he raised his head and downed it again.
"You've seen your grandfather?" Lin Zhong's face was a little red as he looked at his son, who was swaying a little, and asked.
"En, I've seen him." Lin Xiu's words were unclear.
"Is he alright?" This time, the usually carefree Lin Xiu was a little flustered and asked carefully.
"Not very good, Grandpa looks very tired." Lin Xiu's eyelids started to fight, but he still answered Lin Zhong before lying on the table.
After confirming that Lin Xiu had fallen asleep, Lin Zhong picked up the wine bottle and downed it in big mouthfuls. Gradually, the strict father in Lin Xiu's eyes started to tear up. He muttered, "Father, I'm unfilial, I'm unfilial …"
