"Thank you, benefactor, for saving us."
The father and son immediately knelt down.
"No need to be so courteous. Get up." Lin Long helped them up.
"May I know how to address benefactor?" The middle-aged man asked.
"Just call me Brother Lin." Lin Long said. He then raised the small bag in his hand, "Is this the Heaven Evolution Academy's trial token?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded, "There are two trial tokens inside. If Young Master Lin wants one, you can take one."
The middle-aged man said this to please Lin Long. It didn't matter if Lin Long was interested in the token or not. If he said this, Lin Long would definitely have a good impression of him.
"Since that's the case, I'll take one." Lin Long smiled.
He opened the small bag and found two tokens inside. After putting one of the tokens away, Lin Long handed the small bag over.
After talking with the father and son, Lin Long found out that the father and son were surnamed Mo. The father was called Mo Huarong and the son was called Mo Tian. They came to Lian Chuan City from a remote place in the Southern Mountain Range.
Mo Huarong originally came with another son, Mo Tian's brother, Mo Han. However, he was unfortunately killed in the process of being chased by the three masked men.
The two of them were lucky to have met Lin Long. Otherwise, they would probably be dead now.
These two trial entry medallions had been left behind by their ancestor in order to repay the favor of an important figure in the Sky Evolution Academy.
With these tokens, they wouldn't be restricted from entering the Heaven Evolution Academy. After all, the Heaven Evolution Academy was an extremely famous academy in the Southern Mountain Range. It wasn't a place that ordinary people could enter. Furthermore, they were so far away from the academy.
Originally, they didn't want to use these two tokens. However, due to the decline of their family, Mo Huarong brought his two sons to Lian Chuan City in order to rebuild the Mo family.
Because his two sons accidentally revealed that they had trial tokens, they were chased by these masked men.
After telling Lin Long all this, Mo Huarong checked the identity of the three masked men. As expected, they didn't know these three at all. Moreover, they couldn't find anything familiar on them. They must have accidentally heard about the trial tokens and chased after them.
"Brother Lin, why do you still want to go to the Sky Evolution Academy when you're so strong?" Mo Tian asked curiously.
"My strength is nothing. There are even more powerful people in the Sky Evolution Academy. Besides, my main goal is to study alchemy," Linlong said with a smile.
"It just so happens that I also want to learn alchemy. I hope to become a powerful alchemist in the future." Mo Tian's eyes immediately lit up when he heard Lin Long's words.
"Ah Tian has always been like this. He has never liked martial arts since he was young. He only likes to play around with medicinal herbs and pills. It just so happened that he met a pretty good alchemist a few years ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't know anything about alchemy," Mo Huarong said with a smile.
"Unfortunately, Uncle Yu left without saying goodbye last year." Hearing Mo Huarong's words, Mo Tian was a little disappointed.
The three of them rested for a while before they rushed to Heavenflow Mountain.
The Sky Evolution Academy was located on the Sky Evolution Mountain.
In next to no time, they arrived at a small town at the foot of Heavenflow Mountain. Because of the Heavenflow Academy, this small town occupied an extremely vast area and was extremely prosperous, and it wasn't excessive to call it a city.
The three of them went straight to a courtyard in the small town called the Heavenly Fragrance Manor.
The reason they went there was because the entrance examination would be held here. Only by passing the entrance examination would they be able to enter the Sky Evolution Academy and become an inner court disciple. Otherwise, even if the two of them obtained the entrance examination token, they would only be able to become outer court disciples.
Outer court disciples naturally wouldn't be able to enter the Sky Evolution Academy.
After arriving at the Heavenly Fragrance Manor, a few disciples dressed in the Sky Evolution Academy's uniform received them at the entrance. These disciples' attitudes could be considered to be quite warm.
According to them, there were over a thousand people participating in the entrance examination this time. Besides the Heavenly Fragrance Manor, there were two other trial areas.
Under their arrangements, Linlong's group of three stayed in a room in the Heavenly Fragrance Manor. Because Linlong casually tossed a gold ingot to each of these disciples, they arranged a relatively good room for Linlong's group of three. Moreover, they promised that no one else would stay in this room.
Money makes the world go round. This saying was the same everywhere.
Mo Tian had grown up in a remote small town. Naturally, he was curious about such a bustling place. Therefore, after staying in the room for a short while, he couldn't help but say that he wanted to go outside to take a look.
Mo Huarong seemed to be very confident in Mo Tian's strength. He wasn't worried that he wouldn't be able to pass the entrance examination. Therefore, he didn't make things difficult for Mo Tian. Instead, he followed Mo Tian out.
When Mo Tian went out, he naturally called Linlong along. Because Linlong had saved him previously, coupled with the fact that Linlong had a calm and indifferent temperament, Mo Tian, who was slightly younger than Linlong, subconsciously followed Linlong's lead.
Linlong wasn't interested in going out to play. Therefore, he didn't go out with the father and son. Instead, he stayed in the room alone and carried out his daily cultivation.
Even though his strength had improved by leaps and bounds, Linlong didn't give up on his daily cultivation.
If one doesn't accumulate steps, one can't walk a thousand miles. Even though he had reached the level of Emperor Wu, he still hadn't forgotten this principle.
Time passed very quickly as he cultivated. When the sky outside darkened, Mo Huarong suddenly ran in from outside in a panic.
The moment he entered, he shouted towards Linlong, "Young Master Lin, bad news, bad news."
"What's wrong?" Seeing Mo Huarong like this, Linlong frowned.
"Ah Tian made a bet with someone outside and lost … lost his trial entry token," Mo Huarong said anxiously.
"Lost his trial entry token in a bet? What happened?"
Subsequently, Linlong finally understood from Mo Huarong's narration that Mo Huarong had made a bet with someone because of some small matter. At that time, Mo Huarong wasn't around, so Mo Tian only lost some silver.
Originally, losing these silver was nothing. However, in order to win them back, Mo Huarong hardened his heart and took out his most valuable trial entry token to gamble. Who would have thought that he would even lose the trial entry token in the end?
At this time, it was already too late for Mo Tian to regret. When Mo Huarong, who returned to Mo Tian's side, realized this, he was at a loss of what to do and immediately sought Linlong's help.
"Young Master Lin, I know that this matter is Ah Tian's fault. However, for the sake of Ah Tian's future, please help Ah Tian," Mo Huarong pleaded.
Linlong originally didn't want to help. However, after thinking about how he had been getting along well with this father and son for the past two days, and how Ah Tian wasn't a bad person and was motivated, the reason why he lost the trial entry token was most likely because he was set up.
