The person who came was still Liu Wenyuan. His face was as cold as a poisonous snake's.
"Lin Cheng-fan, Master Yuan has given you one day to prepare for your funeral and give up all of your family's assets." Liu Wenyuan's voice rang out in the hall, shaking everyone's hearts.
"What? Master Liu, didn't you say that I only need to give up half of the Lin family's assets? "Lin Zhengguang was shocked. He hurriedly asked, but accidentally spoke the truth.
"Zhengguang, you …" Lin Cheng-fan didn't expect that he would betray the Lin family behind his back.
"Hmph, a mere ant dares to negotiate with Master Yuan!" Liu Wenyuan sneered, his disdain evident in his words. After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Lin Cheng-fan, it's better for you to die alone than for everyone to die together." Lin Zhengguang stared at Lin Cheng-fan, his expression agitated: "For your son, you brought disaster to the Lin family. I just want to leave some seeds for the Lin family."
Lin Cheng-fan was dumbfounded. In the end, it was him who brought disaster to the Lin family for his own selfish reasons. This was something that couldn't be avoided.
"Forget it, forget it!" Lin Cheng-fan suddenly sighed, his expression dispirited: "This started because of me, so let's end it here."
"Father …" Lin Suyi anxiously said.
"Master …" Jiang Tingtao shouted: "At worst, we'll fight them to the death."
"Fight? Fight with what? " Lin Zhengguang's expression was desolate. He had schemed here and there, but he didn't get any benefits: "Against a Xiantian Master, we're just ants that can be crushed with a finger. How can we fight?"
"Are we just going to sit here and wait for death?" Jiang Tingtao's expression was indignant.
Lin Cheng-fan's heart was filled with bitterness. He had wholeheartedly saved his son, but unexpectedly, his son was saved not because of the fire-type Neidan, but because of his daughter.
If he had known earlier, he would not have competed with Liu Wenyuan for the inner core at the auction. He had brought disaster to the Lin family for no reason. Now, it was too late for regrets.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
In a short period of time, the Lin family was pushed down by everyone. Most of the servants and guards had left.
Normally, the Lin family treated them well, but at this moment, their lives were at stake. Who would be willing to die with them?
Some left, while others stayed, such as Old Wu.
These people had been working hard in the Lin family all their lives. They had long been rooted in the Lin family. Even if they wanted to leave, it was impossible.
Then, the news spread out along with the fleeing guards and servants.
"Have you heard? Is the Lin family finished? "
"How could I not know? They offended Master Yuan and still have a way out? "
"That's right. Speaking of the Lin family, they did not do business properly and just had to offend Master Yuan. How can a Connate expert be so easily offended?"
"I heard that it was because of the Lin family's young master."
"No matter who it was, offending Master Yuan is a dead end."
"The Lin family's decades of foundation will be destroyed in a day. Others will benefit for nothing."
"Others? Hmph, think about it. Who would dare to touch the Lin Clan at this critical juncture? "
"What do you mean?"
"Master Yuan has already announced that he wants all of the Lin family's foundation. Who would dare to touch them? Aren't they courting death? "
"Indeed. With the Lin family's example, I'm afraid no one would dare to touch them."
For a moment, everyone in Drifting Cloud City was discussing.
Drifting Cloud City, Shi Family.
"Father, are we just going to watch the fat meat slip through our hands?" Shi Xiuxian stood up abruptly and said unhappily.
"Hmph, sit down. What are you doing being so careless?" The head of the Shi Family, Shi Yushu, snorted coldly and reprimanded him. "Why don't you think about who is after the Lin family's foundation?"
"Master Yuan?" Shi Xiuxian was shocked and broke out in cold sweat.
"That's right. Who would dare to steal from Master Yuan?" Shi Yushu looked regretful. "That's courting death."
"But if we do it secretly, I'm sure Master Yuan won't check the accounts carefully. Who would know?" Shi Xiuxian thought for a moment and probed.
"Hmph, there's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. If we take over the Lin family's foundation today, someone might tell on us tomorrow and let the Shi family follow in the footsteps of the Lin family." Shi Yushu warned sternly, "I'm warning you, give up on this idea as soon as possible. If you do anything else, I'll break your legs."
Shi Xiuxian trembled when he heard this. The Shi Family had strict rules. If they said they would break his legs, they would definitely do it.
"Anyway, let's just wait and see. We can't be the first to act." Shi Yushu was relieved when he saw that his son had been intimidated.
The same scene played out in the various families in Luo Yun City. Although the news that the Lin family was going to fall spread like wildfire, no one dared to take over the Lin family's foundation. Instead, those who had already reached out their hands secretly spat it out.
Luo Yun City's imperial palace.
The 30-year-old king of the Yun Country, Luo Xiuran, was reviewing memorials.
"Your Majesty, about Master Yuan …" A minister stood in front of him.
Luo Xiuran paused when he heard this. A blob of ink had already dripped onto the memorial he was reviewing.
After pondering for a long time, he used a piece of silk to wipe off the ink. Then, he sighed and said, "Master Yuan is the protector of the Yun Country. He has made outstanding contributions. Let him do whatever he wants."
"Your Majesty …" The minister still wanted to say something.
"What? Didn't you understand what I said? "Luo Xiuran's face darkened as he said angrily.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The minister sighed and bowed before taking his leave.
After the minister left, Luo Xiuran fell into deep thought. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and muttered to himself, "Master Yuan, Master Yuan, in a few years, I'm afraid the entire Yun Country will belong to you."
His face was full of bitterness and helplessness.
Yuan Cheng had only been the protector of the Yun Country for a few years, but he had embezzled countless people's assets. His wealth was probably not inferior to that of the imperial family.
However, there was only one Xiantian Master in the Yun Country. Even Luo Xiuran did not dare to say anything.
At dusk, in a side hall of the Lin family.
"Senior Yang Xuan, if you have time in the future, please come to my Tianyi Valley. I will definitely welcome you with open arms." Huang Chi bowed to Yang Xuan with a bag on his back.
Yang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Divine Physician Huang, there's no need to be so polite. You're much older than me, so there's no need to call me senior."
Huang Chi said solemnly, "There's no seniority in learning. The one who reaches the top is the teacher. Although you're younger than me, your medical knowledge far surpasses mine. I'm sincerely convinced that I can call you senior. "
Yang Xuan looked at him helplessly. He couldn't tell Huang Chi the truth about how he treated Lin Zhuqiang, so he could only let him be.
"Senior, now that the Lin family is about to collapse, do you have any plans?" Huang Chi continued.
"Are you leaving?" Yang Xuan asked as he looked at the bag on Huang Chi's back.
"Yes, I have nothing to do with the Lin family. Now that Lin Zhuqiang has been treated by you, I should leave."
Yang Xuan nodded. Huang Chi and the Lin family were just acquaintances. Naturally, there was no need for him to stand up for the Lin family.
"Senior, I hope you can come to the Tianyi Valley in the future. To be honest, my master is very knowledgeable in medical skills. I've only received a small portion of his teachings, so I'm sure I'll be able to sit down and discuss with you."
"Alright, if I have time in the future, I'll definitely go." Yang Xuan cupped his hands and said.
"Senior, farewell!"
"Divine Physician Huang, farewell!" Yang Xuan cupped his hands.
"Tianyi Valley?" After Huang Chi left, he fell into deep thought.
He didn't directly ask Huang Chi about the Tianyi Valley. That would be too obvious.
However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember where there was a force like the Tianyi Valley in this world.
After pondering for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. Thus, he turned his attention to the newly learned water spiritual energy array.
With a slight movement of his finger, a gust of cold air was emitted. It instantly hit the teacup on the table. In an instant, the tea in the teacup was frozen. The porcelain teacup was also covered by a layer of ice. With a crack, it actually cracked.
"No wonder it's called ice poison. An ordinary person would be frozen into an ice cube." Yang Xuan's eyes lit up. "This temperature is probably a hundred degrees below zero. No wonder Lin Zhuqiang needed a fire elemental inner core to resist the ice poison. It's really difficult for her to survive."
"Water spiritual energy can actually produce such a miraculous change after being arranged in an array." Yang Xuan fell into deep thought as a sliver of excitement rose in his heart. "Fire-type spiritual energy can become the Crimson Lotus Flame through the arrangement of formations. Water-type spiritual energy can become incomparably cold. Does this mean that other types of spiritual energy can also produce strange changes through other formations?"
Yang Xuan's eyes became brighter and brighter. He felt that he seemed to have grasped something important.
"Could it be that this is the key to spells?" Inexplicably, Yang Xuan came up with such a bold idea.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was correct.
"This should be it. The five types of spiritual energy are the foundation and the most basic force. Then, they will produce corresponding changes through the array and become spells." Yang Xuan's thoughts continued to expand.
"Fire elemental spiritual energy can become the Scarlet Lotus Fire after being arranged in an array. The power of the Scarlet Lotus Fire is far beyond that of pure fire elemental spiritual energy. Water elemental spiritual energy can be arranged in an array by the cold air and become cold air. It's also very powerful." Yang Xuan's heart surged.
"No wonder during this period of time, I've always felt that the Dao techniques I created before were too weak. It's because I haven't mastered real spells." Yang Xuan was a little enlightened.
During this period of time, he had always felt that the Dao techniques he created before were not very powerful. For example, he felt that when he fought with the black crow a few days ago, all of his Dao techniques could not stop the little crow. In desperation, he used spiritual energy to simulate Xiantian power and used the newly learned fist technique.
"In that case, with the array, it's a real spell." Yang Xuan had a kind of enlightenment. His eyes flashed: "Then, at this time, I have two real spells."
"I'll call you the Fury of the Scarlet Lotus and Absolute Zero!" Yang Xuan's eyes shone brightly. He continued to be incompetent at naming and called out two vulgar names.
"Childe Yang, this old man has a presumptuous request. I hope that Childe Yang can agree!" Yang Xuan was deep in thought when Lin Cheng-fan suddenly walked in and bowed deeply.
