Of course, Lin Buzheng's cultivation wasn't without gains.
For example, Lin Buzheng consumed a bloodline activation elixir. Although it didn't activate the Willow God bloodline, his physique improved greatly.
Another example was going to the family grounds to observe the mysterious willow branch left behind by the ancient Willow God. Although the bloodline power in his body didn't resonate, his understanding of martial arts became deeper.
However, these gains were still limited when compared to the power of the bloodline. They were far from being comparable to the latter.
The Lin family's bloodline was passed down from the ancient Willow God and was shockingly powerful.
The Qi Dao realm was only awakening.
Once it reached the Spirit Dao realm or even the Dao realm, the increase in a cultivator's strength would be even more terrifying.
Lin Buzheng's loss was immeasurable because he couldn't awaken the Bloodline Theurgy.
"Forget it!
I'll continue cultivating the Martial Theurgy! "
Lin Buzheng's attempts to awaken the Bloodline Theurgy all failed, so he had to go back to square one.
While tempering his body, he cultivated the Raging Bull Fist, Ferocious Tiger Three Stances, and White Deer Green Mark Art.
He wanted to have a breakthrough in the Martial Theurgy.
Although the Bloodline Theurgy was powerful, it was still a Martial Theurgy.
However, because the ancestor had complete control over it, it was passed down through the bloodline and passed down to future generations.
If a cultivator was talented enough and comprehended the Martial Theurgy, they could completely make up for this shortcoming and even surpass it.
Not to mention that Lin Buzheng had the Reincarnation Imperial Sutra.
In front of this inheritance, all Bloodline Theurgy paled in comparison.
Lin Buzheng's starting point wasn't lower than the elite disciples of the family. In fact, it was higher.
"Lin Buzheng, this month's family mission has been issued. You must complete it within three days, or else you will be expelled from the family!"
On this day, Lin Buzheng was cultivating in his room.
The deacon of the family suddenly came and issued the family mission.
The branch family disciples could receive a certain amount of benefits from the family every month.
For example, a certain amount of money, free guidance from the family on cultivation, or Body Strengthening Pills, etc.
However, there were benefits that came with a price.
Branch family disciples had to complete a clan mission every month.
Only by doing so could he maintain his status as a branch family disciple and enjoy his monthly benefits.
Generally speaking, clan missions wouldn't be too easy, but they also wouldn't be too difficult. Furthermore, they wouldn't pose any life-threatening danger. As long as they spent some time, they could complete them.
This was especially true for new outer court disciples. Their first clan mission was extremely easy, and it was like going through the motions.
"Got it."
Lin Buzheng replied indifferently and took the mission from the family steward.
The clan's mission was for Lin Buzheng to hunt down a Five-colored Demonic Bull.
The Five-Colored Devil Ox was a rank three demonic beast. It was rumored to be a descendant of the ancient Earth Ox and had unparalleled control over the earth.
Its strength was at the pinnacle of third rank demonic beasts.
"Big brother, what are you doing?"
"I know where Lin Xinyue and the other female clan disciples are bathing. Do you want to go take a look?"
Not long after the deacon left, Fatty Lin walked up to the door with a wretched smile on his face.
"Go by yourself."
"I have a clan mission to complete."
Lin Buzheng shook his head and briefly explained the arrival of the deacon.
"Strange!"
"The clan missions are usually chosen by the disciples at the mission hall. Why would the deacon come to me personally?"
"Furthermore, even if you fail the clan mission, you'll only be demoted and lose your monthly benefits. You won't be chased out of the clan."
"Something's wrong. There's definitely something fishy going on here!"
Little Fatty Lin's expression turned incomparably solemn when he heard that.
Without hesitation, he opened the mission scroll given to Lin Buzheng by the clan steward.
"Gasp, it's a mission to hunt the Five-colored Demonic Bull!"
"Big brother, something's not right."
"Someone must be targeting you in the dark!"
Fatty Lin opened the mission scroll and took a glance at it. His expression immediately changed.
In the past few days, Fatty Lin had gone to the mission hall several times to gather information.
He wanted to find a relatively easy mission to complete the monthly clan mission assessment.
Therefore, he was extremely familiar with the clan's missions.
The mission to hunt the Five-colored Demonic Bull was extremely difficult.
It ranked first among the thousands of outer clan missions.
It was initially a spirit path mission.
Later on, it was demoted to become a qi path disciple.
This mission had already been posted in the clan's mission hall for three months. However, no cultivators had accepted it.
From this, one could see how difficult it was.
"The Five-colored Demonic Bull is different from other rank three demonic beasts. It's of a high rank and is extremely powerful."
"Not only that, the Five-colored Demonic Bull moves in herds. If they encounter a strong enemy, they can form a bull formation and fight together."
"Even elite disciples or martial artists who have just entered the Spirit Path Realm would find it difficult to complete the mission of killing a Five-Colored Wild Bull, let alone the outer sect disciples."
"This is going to be troublesome!"
Fatty Lin's expression was solemn.
As Fatty Lin said, the mission was extremely difficult.
It was impossible for outer clan disciples to complete it.
The person who chose this mission for Lin Buzheng was obviously trying to chase Lin Buzheng out of the main clan!
"I see!"
Hearing this, Lin Buzheng finally understood.
However, he had already accepted the mission. It was impossible for him to go back on his word.
"Big brother, I heard that Uncle Shan Yue caused a ruckus in the main clan a few decades ago and made many enemies."
"Perhaps, this matter was caused by these people in the dark."
"Big brother, you must be careful!"
Fatty Lin was likable and quick-witted.
He had only been in the main clan for a few days, but he already knew many secrets of the clan.
The warning was not groundless.
"It's related to my father …"
Lin Buzheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
During this period of time, Lin Buzheng had been obsessed with cultivation and rarely cared about anything else.
He only reacted after Fatty Lin's reminder.
The mystery of his birth, who his mother was, what happened 20 years ago that caused his father's cultivation to be crippled …
Lin Buzheng might be able to find the answers to these questions in the main clan!
…
The Evergreen Princess's house was located on a mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles.
Legend had it that this mountain range was formed from the roots of the ancient Willow God.
The scenery here was beautiful and spiritual energy filled the air.
Deep in the mountain range, there were spiritual springs and spiritual herbs growing.
At this moment, on a cliff deep in the mountain range.
A man in green sat on the edge of the cliff. His face was shrouded by thick clouds and mist, making it hard to see him clearly.
He placed his left arm in front of him and his right sleeve fluttered in the wind.
"20 years, I've waited for 20 years."
"Lin Shanyue's son, you're finally here!"
"This time, not only will I expel you from the clan, but I'll also let you die in endless pain."
