Today was the day Ling Yun acknowledged his ancestors and returned to his roots. He was the first to ask for monthly votes!
— — —
To Ling Yun, who was eager to improve his realm, what was the thing he needed the most and what he lacked the most? Spiritual energy!
No matter what it was, as long as it was related to spiritual energy, Ling Yun wouldn't let it go!
If Long Tianjiao's gift wasn't 2.7 billion yuan but something with spiritual energy, Ling Yun wouldn't have hesitated to accept it. He had no choice, he lacked spiritual energy.
Five hundred million USD might have moved Ling Yun, but he wasn't short of money. He wasn't short of martial arts manuals either. He had too many powerful martial arts manuals in his mind that he couldn't even practice them all. As for the cloth woven from the silk of the Golden Black Devilish Silkworm, even though it was hard to find, it wouldn't be difficult for Ling Yun to make an impenetrable piece of clothing if he were to start forging. He just needed to add a few defensive formations on ordinary clothes, so he wasn't in a hurry.
However, spiritual energy was different. Ling Yun needed sufficient spiritual energy to absorb if he wanted to speed up his cultivation and increase his strength!
How could Ling Yun not be envious of the thing in this wooden box that could release such strong, pure, and vigorous Wood Spiritual Energy?
Moreover, there was an identical wooden box in Qingshui Wharf's villa!
"Cui Lao, what's in this wooden box?" Ling Yun stared at the mysterious wooden box for a long time, absorbing quite a bit of the Wood Spiritual Energy before asking.
Cui Lao smiled warmly as he picked up the wooden box and placed it on the coffee table. He didn't keep Ling Yun in suspense as he casually opened the wooden box. The Wood Spiritual Energy surged instantly and was absorbed by Ling Yun. Not a single bit was wasted!
Ling Yun took a closer look and was stunned. "This …"
It was a piece of wood, and it was a dead piece of wood. He didn't know how long it had been dead for. It was charred black all over, and even the two ends were charred black. It seemed to have been struck by a powerful lightning bolt.
This piece of wood was about a meter long and as thick as an adult's arm. It was perfectly straight and charred black from the outside to the inside. It looked more like a black iron rod.
A piece of wood like this should have completely withered and rotted. However, Ling Yun could clearly see that at the edge of the circular section of the black wood, there was a bulge the size of a sunflower seed. It was a tender yellow bud, pink and tender, displaying the tenacity of life and vitality!
A withered tree coming back to life!
That incomparably powerful, pure, and exuberant wood spiritual energy was emitted by this tender bud that was the size of a sunflower seed!
Shua!
Ling Yun was so shocked that she could no longer sit still. She immediately stood up from the sofa!
Cui Lao seemed to have expected Ling Yun's shock and excitement. He remained seated and smiled at Ling Yun. "Little chap, pick it up and take a look …"
Before Cui Lao could finish his sentence, Ling Yun had already reached out and grabbed the dead wood. He held it in front of his eyes and observed it carefully.
The bark of the dead wood was very rough. It was as black as charcoal and felt very heavy in his hands. It had a special texture to it.
"Eh … Look at the surface of the wood. The lines on the bark look like willow wood …"
Ling Yun couldn't help but be surprised. This one-meter-long piece of wood that was as thick as an arm would at most weigh about five kilograms. It would be even lighter if it were dead, but this dead wood was at least eighty kilograms! Willow wood definitely couldn't be so heavy!
Ling Yun thought to himself, No wonder the wooden box in my house was so heavy. It would be strange if it wasn't heavy with such a piece of wood in it.
Cui Lao couldn't suppress his excitement when he saw Ling Yun holding the dead wood in his hands to study it. His Adam's apple trembled as he said, "Little chap, prick your finger and drip a drop of blood on this wood …"
Ling Yun was stunned. It was just a piece of wood. How could he drip blood on it?
Ling Yun didn't know that Cui Lao wasn't asking him to drip blood on it at all. He was asking him to drip blood on it!
However, Ling Yun obviously knew that Cui Lao wouldn't harm him. He didn't hesitate to use the nail of his right thumb to make a small cut on his right index finger. A few drops of blood flowed out.
This was the most crucial moment. Cui Lao was agitated, and his body trembled as he stood up. He hurriedly said to Ling Yun, "Little chap, drip your blood on this piece of wood, quick!"
That excited voice was almost bewitching. It was even more urgent than a scammer trying to get someone to take the bait.
Ling Yun was very decisive. He pressed his right index finger, which was bleeding, onto the dead wood!
The next scene left Ling Yun completely dumbfounded!
As his pierced index finger pressed on the rough surface of the dead wood, the blood on Ling Yun's hand didn't stay on the surface. It instantly seeped into the dead wood and spread rapidly along the surface of the bark!
Moreover, this wasn't the end. Ling Yun felt his blood flow increase. Blood continued to gather on his right index finger and flowed continuously into the dead wood through the cut!
"F * ck, here comes another blood-sucking one!"
Even though the scene was amazing, Ling Yun wasn't surprised. He wasn't in a hurry to remove his palm. Instead, he directly held onto the dead wood with his right hand and allowed it to absorb his blood.
Having reached Physique Tempering Stage Eight, Ling Yun's energy center was now the size of a thousand ordinary people. His Qi and blood were like the sea, and his blood essence was vigorous. He didn't care about this little bit of blood at all.
Cui Lao looked at this scene excitedly, but he had no intention of stopping Ling Yun. His eyes flashed, and his eyeballs turned red!
Ling Yun's blood flowed faster and faster. The dead wood was like a starving baby, greedily absorbing Ling Yun's blood. It had no intention of stopping!
"Little Young Master!" Cui Lao was so excited that he couldn't stand still. He finally stopped hiding his identity and didn't change the way he addressed Ling Yun. Instead, he directly called Ling Yun "Little Young Master!"
Cui Lao's eyes were red, and tears streamed down his face. His body trembled as he came out of the sofa and kowtowed to Ling Yun!
"Cui Lao, you can't do this!"
Ling Yun was caught off guard. Cui Lao was already kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to Ling Yun. When he raised his head again, his eyes were already blurred with tears!
"Cui Lao, what are you doing? Please get up quickly!"
Ling Yun was anxious. He really had no choice but to grab onto the blood-sucking dead wood with his right hand and fly forward. He bent down slightly and used his left hand to help Cui Lao up!
"Cui Lao, if you have anything to say, you can just tell me directly. I don't know what to do now that you're doing this!"
Ling Yun supported the emotional Cui Lao and stomped his feet awkwardly. His right hand was still holding onto the black dead wood, and his actions were very comical.
Cui Lao's tears flowed down his face, and his eyes were blurry. He grabbed onto Ling Yun's arm tightly, and his mouth was choked with sobs. He couldn't speak for a long time.
After a while, Cui Lao raised his hand to wipe the tears off his face. Seeing that Ling Yun was still holding onto the dead wood, he couldn't help but say in a panic, "Young Master, it's about time. Please let go of your hand …"
Ling Yun didn't know, but Cui Lao knew that the dead wood could suck blood, but he couldn't let it do as it pleased. That was because there was no end to it once it started.
Ling Yun had experienced the Emperor Brush recognizing him as its owner, so his blood was absorbed even more. Therefore, he said nonchalantly, "Cui Lao, don't worry, I have a lot of blood. Let it suck for a while longer for such a small wound …"
Ling Yun could feel the greed of the dead wood, but he was also puzzled. Up until now, he still hadn't established a bloodline connection with this dead wood after so much blood had gone in. That wasn't normal.
Could it be that it didn't recognize him as its owner by blood? Did it suck so much of his blood for nothing?
However, Ling Yun knew that this dead wood was definitely an incredible treasure. It didn't matter to him even if it didn't recognize him as its owner. After all, this treasure would be his in the future, and he had plenty of time to slowly study it.
Moreover, even though the dead wood was greedy, it wasn't as glued to Ling Yun as the Emperor Brush. As long as Ling Yun wanted to let go, he could stop the dead wood from absorbing at any time. Therefore, he wasn't worried at all.
"Cui Lao, please take a seat …" Ling Yun helped the emotional Cui Lao to sit down. At the same time, he returned to his seat in a flash. His right hand was still holding onto the dead wood as he sat down casually.
"Cui Lao, I heard you calling me Young Master just now. This is …" Ling Yun stared at Cui Lao and asked seriously.
Cui Lao also stared at Ling Yun, his eyes filled with excitement. He suddenly raised his hand and wiped the tears on his face before saying slowly, "Young Master, my name is Cui Zhongwu, I'm … from the Ling Family in Beijing!"
Oh my god!
Ling Yun was shocked once again as he jumped up from his seat. The Ling Family in Beijing was indeed the Ling Family in Beijing!
Even though Ling Yun had long guessed that he had a close relationship with the Ling Family in Beijing, he was still shocked when Cui Lao said it himself!
"In less than two months, Young Master has already interacted with the Cao Family, Sun Family, Chen Family, Long Family, and Li Family in Beijing. I'm sure you already have some understanding of the seven big families in Beijing?"
Cui Lao pondered for a moment, thinking about how to express what he wanted to express so that Ling Yun would be able to accept it. He decided to start with the seven big families.
Cui Lao was speaking the truth. Ling Yun and Cao Shanshan from the Cao Family killed Sun Tianbiao's family of three, killed Chen Jianren from the Chen Family in Shennongjia, slapped Chen Jianrou on the East Sea, stole Long Tianjiao's wife, and slapped Long Tianyu and Li Youmin's faces at Ning Er's birthday party!
Of course, what Cui Lao didn't know was that Ling Yun had already met his half-sister, Ling Xue from the Ling Family.
It could be said that among the seven big families in Beijing, other than the mysterious and low-profile Ye Family, Ling Yun had interacted with the other six big families.
Ling Yun let out a heavy sigh of relief and nodded his head lightly. "That's right. Aunty has told me about this before …"
Cui Lao's expression was extremely solemn. After taking a few deep breaths, he said slowly, one word at a time, "Young Master, please forgive me for being straightforward.
You are the direct descendant of the Ling Family, one of the seven big families in Beijing. You are the biological son of the Ling Family's third young master, Ling Xiao! "
