… …
Ling Lie knew that Ling Yun had no intention of giving the Long Family's dragon saliva to the Long Family. His lips moved, but he swallowed the words that were at the tip of his tongue.
Ling Lie knew that Ling Yun had his own ideas and plans for everything he did. Thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with what he had done.
Even though Ling Lie was Ling Yun's grandfather, he didn't want to change Ling Yun's decision. He didn't want to order or ask Ling Yun to do something he didn't want to do. He was even more afraid that Ling Yun would resent him. It wasn't worth it to do it for an outsider.
It wasn't wrong to repay a debt of gratitude. However, even if you wanted something that someone didn't want to give you, you still had to ask for the other party's permission, right?
Grandfather Ling wasn't muddle-headed. He knew which side was more important.
Moreover, Ling Yun didn't say that he was in a hurry. Hence, Grandfather Ling didn't try to persuade Ling Yun anymore.
He changed the topic and brought up another matter, "Yun 'er, the people who came today all expressed that they wanted to see you, but grandfather rejected them on your behalf. He said that you haven't officially acknowledged your ancestors yet, so it's not convenient for you to meet people."
Ling Yun chuckled. "Well done, Grandfather. I really don't want to meet anyone now. I still have some things to settle. Let's wait for a few days and see how things go."
Ling Lie nodded. "Mmm."
He then lowered his voice and said to Lingyun mysteriously, "However, Grandpa has something else to tell you."
"Among the guests who came today, there were people sent by the higher-ups."
Ling Lie's eyes were filled with excitement. As he spoke, he pointed his index finger at the ceiling, then to the south of the door.
The sky was above, and the south was the center of Beijing.
"Oh?"
Ling Yun naturally knew who Ling Lie was talking about. His interest was piqued as he smiled and asked, "What did they say?"
Ling Lie laughed and said, "Just two words, congratulations."
Ling Yun pursed his lips. "Nothing else?"
Ling Lie laughed heartily. "Brat, it's good enough that you can say that. You've earned enough face for the Ling Family!"
After the two of them finished laughing, Ling Lie got down to business.
"Yun 'er, do you have the piece of willow wood that Grandfather asked Cui Lao to bring to you?"
Ling Yun knew that Ling Lie was talking about the inheritance of the Ling Family, the two pieces of Divine Willow Wood. With a thought, he took out one of them and placed it in Ling Lie's hand. Then, he took out the other one.
At this time, the two pieces of Divine Willow Wood were no longer charred black. It was like the summer, when green trees were at their most luxuriant. The two pieces of green wood that had been cut off from the tree not only sprouted, but also grew new branches. It was as if the two trees had been cut down and then buried in the ground to grow again.
The two pieces of Divine Willow Wood were lush and full of life. They looked even better than the trees that were carefully cultivated in suitable soil.
This was naturally the result of Ling Yun's continuous nourishment of blood and the Black Yellow True Qi that he had infused into the wood every few days after he had mastered the Black Yellow Sutra.
Of course, these two pieces of wood no longer needed to absorb Ling Yun's blood. They only needed to absorb his Black Yellow True Qi.
Once the two pieces of Divine Willow Wood appeared, a strong Wood Spiritual Energy filled the entire room. Then, it spread out rapidly until it covered the entire Ling Family's ancestral home!
The entire Ling Family's ancestral home was instantly filled with vitality. Everyone who was in it felt energized.
"Unexpected, really unexpected …"
Ling Lie grabbed a piece of Divine Willow Wood, his face full of surprise and shock. He shook his head repeatedly.
It was the Divine Willow Wood that caused Ling Lie to behave this way.
Ling Lie held the small tree of Divine Willow Wood. Other than the fact that the roots hadn't grown yet, the two pieces of Divine Willow Wood were practically two small trees.
"Yun Er, looking at the shape of this small tree, it should be the one that you took out to heal me, right?"
Ling Lie exclaimed in admiration. "Who would've thought that in less than two months, even the branches would grow out? How magical …"
Ling Yun thought to himself. After discovering the extraordinary nature of the Divine Willow Wood, he had been using his blood to nourish them and infusing large amounts of Black Yellow True Qi into them every few days. If they still didn't grow, wouldn't his efforts have been in vain?
"Grandpa, the inheritance of our Ling Family is definitely extraordinary. These two pieces of Divine Willow Wood don't seem to be from the mortal world."
Ling Lie furrowed his brows and nodded. "Yes, these two pieces of wood are indeed our Ling Family's heirloom. The piece in my hand has always been kept in the Ling Family's ancestral hall. For the past 18 years, the men of the Ling Family would feed it with fresh blood during the Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, and New Year's Eve. This is an order from our ancestors."
"The piece in your hand was secretly taken out by your father and given to your mother as a token of love. I didn't expect it to be in your hands now."
Ling Yun was shocked and asked, "Grandpa, my father did such an earth-shattering thing? Didn't you punish him? "
"Hmph!"
Ling Lie was interrupted by Ling Yun and recalled what happened in the past. He snorted angrily. "Your father did so many treacherous things in the past. How could this be the only one?"
"At that time, your father was extremely talented and was the most outstanding person in our Ling Family. I had already prepared for him to take over as the head of the Ling Family. Who knew that he would steal the inheritance of our Ling Family for your mother and even have you with her. Later, the two of them couldn't hide it anymore and came home to tell me …"
Even though eighteen years had passed, Grandpa Ling was still so angry when he talked about what happened in the past.
"You know what happened in the end. They committed such a huge sin. Fortunately, the two of them gave birth to a precious grandson like you. It can be considered as making up for their mistakes."
This was an old man. When talking about his son, no matter how outstanding he was, he would still have all sorts of faults. However, when talking about his own grandson, his attitude would immediately take a 180-degree turn.
"I wanted to punish him, but it was already too late … They didn't even stay for two days. On the second night, our Ling Family was besieged by both the righteous and evil sects!"
Ling Yun unintentionally understood the details of the Ling Family from Ling Lie. However, he didn't ask further. If he wanted to ask, he would directly ask Ling Xiao or Green Bird. They would naturally know more.
"Yun Er, you said that these two pieces of wood aren't from the mortal world?" The old man didn't seem to want to talk about this topic. He muttered for a while before saying, "Yun Er, you said that these two pieces of wood aren't from the mortal world?"
Ling Yun nodded his head in confirmation. "Grandpa, I'm a cultivator. Naturally, I can tell that these two pieces of wood were cut from a very large tree. This is just a branch from a large tree. If the branch is already so magical, then what about the large tree?"
A willow tree that sucked human blood and absorbed Black Yellow True Qi. Where could you find such a thing in the mortal world?
"However, if it wasn't from the mortal world, could it be from the heavens?"
Ling Lie listened to Ling Yun's words and felt that it was unbelievable.
Ling Yun shook his head and said, "Grandpa, you're wrong. Not belonging to the mortal world doesn't mean that it belongs to the heavens. For a tree like this to be able to absorb the blood of our Ling Family members and the Black Yellow True Qi that our Ling Family cultivates, it must have come from a place with abundant spiritual energy!"
If it wasn't from the mortal world, then it definitely wasn't from the heavens. Where could it come from?
A paradise!
"It sucked human blood, which means that it was grown by someone. Someone used this method to feed its body. It also absorbed Black Yellow True Qi, which means that the place where it grew must have abundant Black Yellow True Qi to provide for its body's needs. That's how it could continue to grow!"
Ling Yun's analysis was very reasonable. Ling Lie nodded his head as he listened. However, he asked doubtfully, "But if that's the case, why did it only absorb the blood of our Ling Family members?"
"Grandpa, have you ever thought that the original bodies of these two pieces of wood were planted by the people of the Ling Family?" Ling Yun smiled faintly and said an earth-shattering thought.
Ling Lie's body trembled when he heard this!
This was because Ling Yun's idea was too bold and heaven-defying! The Ling Family could grow such a tree? Then, when and where did the Ling Family manage to grow such a miraculous tree?!
"Grandpa, think about it. If it wasn't grown by the Ling Family, why would it only absorb the blood of our Ling Family members? Why would it become the Ling Family's inheritance?"
Ling Lie was dumbfounded. His eyeballs stopped moving, and his eyes were filled with confusion. "This … Yun Er, Grandpa knows that you're knowledgeable, but this idea of yours is a little too bold!"
"However, if I think about it carefully, what you've said is really irrefutable. It's the most logical inference …"
Ling Yun saw Ling Lie's hesitant expression and laughed in his heart. He had seen this kind of thing many times in the Cultivation World. There was no need for him to guess. The truth of the matter was definitely similar to what he had guessed.
"Actually …"
Ling Lie pondered and recalled. "Our Ling Family shouldn't only have these two willow trees. There was another one that was as big as a roof beam. That was the biggest piece. However, it seemed to have been taken away by the masters of the Ling Family more than forty years ago."
"What?"
This time, it was Ling Yun's turn to be shocked. He stood up immediately.
The masters of the Ling Family brought the biggest piece of Divine Willow Wood into Kunlun?
Then, what did the Qin Family bring into the Imperial Tombs? What did the Long Family bring into Penglai?
Ling Yun's mind raced as he thought of this. A trace of understanding appeared in his heart.
"Yun Er, these two pieces of Divine Willow Wood will be in your care from now on. However, the Ling Family will still need them during the ancestral worship."
Ling Lie didn't notice Ling Yun's thoughts. He was talking about his own matters.
"Grandpa, don't worry. I'll definitely take good care of it."
Ling Yun said thoughtfully.
