"One year …"
The Matriarch's expression sank slightly as she looked at Lin Xintong. At this moment, she was in a dilemma. She finally knew why the Shen Tu family clan was willing to give in and let Lin Xintong taste the Great Empress relic first.
According to what the Shen Tu family clan said, the Great Empress relic was extremely valuable. It was not easy to refine any one of them. It was impossible for the Shen Tu family clan to give the Lin family a few years to consider and refine a similar relic for Lin Xintong after they ate it as a trial. Lin Xintong's terminated meridians were cured.
Now, if Lin Xintong ate the first one, she would have to eat the desolate bone relic every month for the next eleven months. This also meant that the Lin family had to express their stance on the marriage alliance proposed by the Shen Tu family clan in a short period of time.
Lin family Elders who supported the Shen Tu family clan, like Lin Xintong's grandaunt, naturally did not have any objections. This grandaunt smiled like a flower and said, "Nephew Nantian, don't keep us guessing. Quickly take out the Great Empress relic and let us broaden our horizons!"
With this said, there were also Lin family Elders like the sixth granduncle who echoed. It was as if they could not wait to see it.
"Alright, then I will open the relic box. This desolate bone relic was refined by a few of the top Desolate Heaven technique figures in our Shen Tu family clan, as well as a few reclusive experts. It took a large amount of heavenly treasures to successfully refine it. "
"After the Great Empress relic was refined, it was immediately sealed into the relic box. On this relic box, there are seven seals. Now, six of them have already been unlocked. As for the last critical seal, it needs to be unlocked with my spiritual energy mark. This ensures that the medicinal essence will not be lost at all."
As Shen Tu Nantian spoke, be it his tone or his demeanor, he naturally revealed a faint sense of pride. It was as if the bad luck he had from making a fool of himself at the Desolate Heaven technique tea session a few days ago had been swept away.
When Shen Tu Nantian took out the Great Empress relic, he could finally hold his head high. With this relic in hand, even the upper echelons of the Lin family would have to be respectful to him, let alone the Lin family's juniors.
"One of the seven seals can only be unlocked by Shen Tu Nantian's spiritual imprint. The Shen Tu family clan is really constantly highlighting Shen Tu Nantian's status."
The Matriarch sighed slightly. She naturally knew the reason behind the Shen Tu family clan's arrangement. The process of refining the desolate bone relic had nothing to do with Shen Tu Nantian, but the Shen Tu family clan had arranged for one of the seals to be unsealed. This was forcefully giving Shen Tu Nantian a halo. It was also equivalent to telling the Lin family that Shen Tu Nantian was the future head of the Shen Tu family clan, and that his status in the Shen Tu family clan was extraordinary.
"Alright, I'm going to seal it. Please wait and see."
Shen Tu Nantian smiled and formed a few seals with one hand, injecting his spiritual imprint into the Everlasting Purple Gold relic box.
Originally, the amount of mental energy needed to verify a mental imprint was negligible, but Shen Tu Nantian had been severely injured. Just this small process of unsealing caused his expression to change slightly, and his lips to turn slightly pale.
Shen Tu Nantian took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the pain in his soul sea. He pretended to be relaxed as he opened the relic box. However, from the throbbing veins on his forehead, many people could tell that he was in great pain.
Of course, at this moment, no one cared about mocking Shen Tu Nantian. This was because everyone's eyes were attracted to the Great Empress relic in the box!
In the Everlasting Purple Gold medicine box, there was a layer of white silk satin. On top of the satin, there was a crystalline relic.
This relic was not spherical in shape, but a ring-shaped thumb ring. In the hollow in the middle, there was a tiny red snake phantom image slowly swimming around.
Shen Tu Nantian took out the Great Empress relic with both hands. This relic was like a tiny Sun, emitting extremely pure Yang Qi!
And the relic itself seemed to have a life of its own. It was obvious that it was of extraordinary value!
"It's indeed a treasure!"
The Lin family Elders present all had sharp eyes. They could tell the relic's value at a glance, and they could not help but engage in a flurry of discussion.
"That tiny red snake phantom image is the condensation of a pure Yang spirit. This Great Empress relic is an extreme Yang item. That's right, Xintong has natural Yin Meridians. She has an excess of pure Yin bodies, so only an extreme Yang item like this can help join up Xintong's terminated meridians!"
"If I am not wrong, this relic's material should have been made with the life essence bone of a Primordial True Spirit desolate beast. Furthermore, it should be a Primordial True Spirit desolate beast that breathes pure Yang Qi!"
Primordial True Spirit desolate beasts were extremely rare to begin with. They were deep in the Divine Wilderness, making them difficult to capture. As for pure Yang elemental Primordial True Spirit desolate beasts, they were even rarer.
The value of such a desolate beast's bone was obvious.
"No wonder the Shen Tu family clan is so confident. With this grade of the Great Empress relic, joining up Xintong's terminated meridians will definitely give them some confidence!"
Many of the Lin family's older generation Desolate Heaven Masters were excited when they saw the desolate bone relic.
This feeling was like a swordsmith seeing a top-notch sword.
Just looking at a relic of this grade was already a great enjoyment for them.
Furthermore, there were eleven relics of this grade!
After appraising the Great Empress relic, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Xintong.
They were waiting to see the effects of using the Great Empress relic on Lin Xintong. This was something that the Lin family Elders were looking forward to.
"Haha, this Elder sure has a good eye!" A proud smile suffused on Shen Tu Nantian's lips. "This Great Empress relic is indeed refined from the life essence bone of a pure Yang elemental Primordial True Spirit. As for what kind of Primordial True Spirit it is, it's not convenient for me to reveal it. Our Shen Tu family clan can use this Primordial True Spirit's life essence bone to refine 12 relics. These relics have an inexplicable connection, so refining them would be a complete set. "
People did not know if what Shen Tu Nantian said was true or false. They only knew that he was emphasizing once again that once the desolate bone relic was tasted, the Lin family had to make a decision. They could not let the Shen Tu family clan waste an entire Primordial True Spirit's life essence bone just for a single tasting.
Lin Xintong remained silent. She knew that Shen Tu Nantian was forcing her to abdicate. This made her not want to taste the relic. Once she ate it, she would owe the Shen Tu family clan, and the matter would become complicated.
"Xintong!"
The Matriarch could tell what Lin Xintong was thinking. At this moment, even the Matriarch, who always loved Lin Xintong, would not stand on Lin Xintong's side.
Large family clans had to pay attention to etiquette. The Lin family had already agreed to let Lin Xintong taste the Great Empress relic. Now, with the Shen Tu family clan showing such sincerity, if the Lin family were to go back on their word, it would inevitably be criticized.
And most importantly, the Great Empress relic itself had tempted the Matriarch. She was increasingly convinced that the Shen Tu family clan could cure Lin Xintong of her naturally terminated meridians.
If they did not have a certain level of confidence, why would the Shen Tu family clan invite the important figures of the various large family clans to witness this grand meeting?
"I never expected … that the Shen Tu family clan would take out such a relic …"
Not far from Lin Xintong, Su Jie also sighed. He secretly shook his head. Even Su Jie, who did not like the Shen Tu family clan, had nothing to say about the Great Empress relic at this moment.
In all fairness, he wished that Lin Xintong would give it a try. After all, to join up Lin Xintong's naturally terminated meridians, the chances of Su Jie relying on his own strength were slim. He also did not want to see Lin Xintong die at such a young age, wasting her unparalleled talent.
"Xintong, consider it carefully. The arrow is already nocked on the bow, but it cannot be released. If you do not taste the Great Empress relic today, then this grand meeting will probably embarrass the Lin family."
By inviting so many family clans to witness, the Shen Tu family clan was forcing the Lin family. However, the Lin family's Elders were happy to see such a situation.
Lin Xintong remained silent. Immediately, the grand meeting turned silent. Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Xintong.
Lin Xintong's attitude was of utmost importance!
The atmosphere turned heavy. Everyone knew that what had landed on Lin Xintong's body was an immense pressure.
A young girl, even if she had extraordinary courage, might not be able to withstand such pressure!
At this moment, no one noticed that Yi Yun, who was wearing a mask, was sitting in a chair in the corner of the venue. He was staring at the relic as his eyes lit up.
This Great Empress relic … seems to be …
When Shen Tu Nantian opened the relic box, Yi Yun had already opened his energy vision.
The Purple Crystal's energy vision could see through all falsehoods, allowing him to see the essence of things. Even in the sword and saber tomb, Yi Yun could use the Purple Crystal's energy vision to see the most primitive energy imprints left behind by the owner of the sword and saber tomb after traversing tens of millions of years of history.
This was an ability that even a Great Emperor-ranked Desolate Heaven Master did not have.
However, when Yi Yun used his energy vision to probe the Great Empress relic, he saw something unusual.
Within the relic, there was a trace of faintly discernible black Qi lingering within.
This wisp of black gas was lurking under the little scarlet snake. It was like an even thinner and smaller black venomous snake, slowly slithering about.
However, once he closed his energy vision, he could not see the black venomous snake. It was like a strange specter that made people shudder!
For some reason, when Yi Yun saw the black snake, he felt a strong sense of unease. This was a feeling Yi Yun had never felt before!
There might be a problem with this relic!
Suddenly realizing this possibility, Yi Yun's expression turned serious.
And at this moment, the atmosphere was still heavy. Lin Xintong did not say a word. Everyone was looking at Lin Xintong, and the situation became awkward!
"Young master Shen Tu, please bring the relic over for me to take a look."
At this moment, the Lin family's Matriarch suddenly spoke.
The atmosphere was too awkward, so she needed to say something to ease the atmosphere. At the same time, she also wanted to check the relic to see if there was any problem with it.
