Cultivation begins in the endless sea.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but laugh:

"We have to thank my uncle and ancestor for this."

Lin Shengqian couldn't help but feel a little puzzled:

"Thank me, old man?"

Lin Qing chuckled and said:

"If it weren't for playing chess with my uncle four years ago to calm my mind, and then being sent by the ancestor to guard Fallen Feather Island."

"How could I possibly have the opportunity to refine my magical power day and night, and thus begin my alchemy training?"

Lin Shengqian suddenly understood that it was because when the bald philodendron blooms, it is necessary to use the Golden Needle Technique on a large scale to prevent it from blooming. Although it is hard work, it is also extremely good at training one's character and perseverance.

Thinking of how his grandson complained loudly about how boring the island missions were as soon as he got back, while Lin Qing, who was about the same age, enjoyed them, he couldn't help but feel complicated by the contrast.

"Qing'er, your uncle has something to discuss with you."

"Uncle, please speak."

Lin Qing was a little puzzled. Lin Shengqian's attitude was very different from his usual cheerful self, as if he wanted something from her.

Lin Shengqian looked even more ashamed after being stared at like that, but still gritted his teeth and said:

"Qing'er, you also know that in your uncle's lineage, only Yunzhou has spiritual roots."

"His parents died when he was young. Once I pass away, he will have to support the entire family left behind by my father. It will be very difficult for him."

"You saw him too; his abilities are limited."

Lin Shengqian took out the first-grade superior Lingyun Spear he had just used, and a rare look of tender reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

"I acquired this Lingyun Spear when I was over seventy years old, and it has been with me for more than thirty years."

Having said that, he gritted his teeth and resolutely erased his divine sense imprint. Then he stuffed the forearm-length Lingyun Spear into Lin Qing's arms.

"After I'm gone, I hope Qing'er will take good care of Yunzhou!"

Lin Qing's expression changed, and he looked down at the magical artifact in his arms, his mood becoming complicated.

To be honest, he secretly looked down on his cousin Lin Yunzhou. One may lack talent, may lack a good starting point, but one cannot lack the ambition to defy fate!

But···

The uncle in front of him took great care of him.

When Lin Qing was very young, her parents went to the market to take charge.

He often bothered many elders.

"I know that what I'm doing is tantamount to taking advantage of someone's kindness. But... I've lived my whole life and I just don't want to see my children and grandchildren suffer."

At this point, the old man's eyes were already moist, and he was about to shed tears.

"Don't worry, Uncle. As long as Qing'er is alive, she will definitely protect Second Brother."

As he spoke, Lin Qing pushed the magical artifact back:

"As for this magical artifact, please take it back. Don't be ashamed of me."

Lin Shengqian's face flushed, and he stammered, "Alas, leaving this thing to Yunzhou would only be a disaster."

At this point, he slapped his forehead and added:

"I almost forgot, there was a male and a female blind snake just now; there might be snake eggs down there. Let's go check."

Lin Qing had no objection. In fact, he had already seen through his uncle's little scheme, because his divine sense had already detected the location of the snake egg.

However, the fact that my uncle didn't make any further promises upon seeing the snake eggs already shows gentlemanly conduct, so there's no need for me to be harsh on him.

A gentleman judges by actions, not by intentions.

This is the truth.

A short while later, the two returned to the outside of the mine. Near the snake cave, they not only found several snake eggs but also rescued seven miners who were on the verge of death.

The snake eggs are offered to the family, and a beast tamer is responsible for raising them. The two people will also be rewarded with a large sum of spirit stones for this.

To the two's amusement and exasperation, Lin Yunzhou simply stood there without saying a word, which completely stunned everyone.

After this incident, Lin Qing's life returned to normal.

A year later, he returned to Wanling Island on time to complete his mission.

At this time, the ancestor was still in seclusion. After all, even with the blessing of high-grade spirit stones, arduous cultivation was still the only way to refine magical power.

Therefore, he did not disturb the ancestor, but played a game of chess with his uncle and then returned to his cave.

"Father!"

"Mother!"

"Why are you back?"

Upon entering, Lin Qing was surprised and delighted to find his father, Lin Shenghong, and mother, Wang Xiuyue, sitting in the cave.

Wang Xiuyue's face was as round as the moon. At this moment, her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at the seven-foot-tall man in front of her with a smile on her lips. Her hands trembled uncontrollably.

"Okay, okay."

"My son's cultivation level is almost surpassing that of his mother."

Wang Xiuyue grabbed Lin Qing's hand, looked him up and down, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"My son has become even more handsome in the past five years."

"I wonder which little girl will benefit from this."

Lin Qing's expression changed slightly, and she subconsciously replied:

"I still don't know where your daughter-in-law is."

Wang Xiuyue chuckled and was about to speak when her father, Lin Shenghong, suddenly spoke up:

"What is your current level of mastery in alchemy?"

Faced with her father's sudden question, Lin Qing was not intimidated. Instead, she straightened her back and answered:

"Two years ago, my child's alchemy skills had already reached a high level. In recent years, 30% of the pills sold in the family shop were made by my child."

Whether it's good or bad, I'm sure Father knows the answer.

Lin Shenghong was rebuffed, touched his nose, and felt slightly uncomfortable.

However, he didn't have any bad intentions; it was simply because his son had been all-knowing since childhood, and he had nowhere to place his authority as a father.

"You, the first thing you ask about is cultivation as soon as we meet."

Wang Xiuyue quickly rolled her eyes at Lin Shenghong, then gestured at Lin Qing for a long time.

"A new batch of high-quality fabric recently arrived at the market, and I bought you a bolt."

"It's said to have originated from the mainland!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing immediately became interested and asked further questions with great enthusiasm.

However, Wang Xiuyue clearly didn't know much either, while Lin Shenghong, unusually seeing that his son also had things he didn't know, couldn't help but laugh and say:

"This fabric comes from the Su family, who in turn acquired it from a passing passenger ship!"

"The passenger on the ship claimed that he had departed from Ningguo and it took him several years to reach Wanfu Island."

Upon hearing the name "Ningguo," Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat. Before he could ask further, Lin Shenghong, as if reading his mind, continued to explain:

"It is said that those people were looking for a glimmer of opportunity to form the Golden Core."

Foundation Building, Purple Mansion, Golden Core...

The greatest suffering for a spiritual practitioner is the inability to reach their destination through practice!

Upon thinking of this, Lin Qing's joy at reuniting with her family vanished instantly.

Without immortality, everything before our eyes is fleeting and ephemeral.

"Mother, how about I cook for you tonight?"

Adjusting her mindset, Lin Qing recalled the Chongqing tofu fish from her previous life, and thus took the initiative to take on the responsibility of dinner tonight.

Because they live by the sea, they have no shortage of fish, but this fresh way of eating fish is something the Lin couple has never experienced before.

"Son, why don't you open a spiritual food shop in the market?"

While enjoying her meal, Wang Xiuyue couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing's heart stirred.

It wasn't because of the Ling Shan restaurant, but because Wanfu Island was indeed a place for information exchange, and I really needed to go and see it.
