Fifteen years later

The inner courtyard of the Lin family in Westwind City

"Lin Huang, you wild species still have a face to rely on our Lin family?" said a young man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks.

"It was my father-in-law who raised me single-handedly, I don't owe you the rest of the Lin family, Lin Hai, what right do you have to yell at me?" a thin young man roared.

"Hehe, do you think you are still the original 'Lin Family's first day talent'? Haha, you are now just a waste who has been stuck in the Gathering Spirit Realm for three years, and you can't break through the Yuan Spirit Realm. The boy known as Lin Hai said disdainfully.

Ten years after Lin Ruyuan brought Lin Huang back to the Lin family, Lin Huang, who began to cultivate at the age of ten, showed amazing talent, began to cultivate at the age of ten, crossed the ninefold of the Quenching Body Realm at the age of eleven and entered the Gathering Spirit Realm, and reached the ninefold peak of the Gathering Spirit Realm at the age of twelve!

At that time, Lin Huang's talent caused a sensation in the entire West Wind City, and it is said that even the only Heavenly Spirit Realm powerhouse in the West Wind City, the City Lord of West Wind City, had the intention to accept him as a personal disciple, and he was in the limelight for a while, which made countless people envious and jealous, and the high-level leaders of the Lin family even decided to establish Lin Huang, who was not of the Lin family's blood, as the young master, making the juniors of the Lin family's descendants all dumbfounded.

However, what people never expected was that after three full years, Lin Huang's cultivation was still stuck at the ninefold peak of the Gathering Spirit Realm, and there was no sign of breaking through at all.

At the beginning, the masters of the Lin family tried their best to help him break through the bottleneck, but he was still colorless, as other geniuses of the Lin family emerged, and later they gradually gave up Lin Huang, and to this day, any junior of the Lin family in the Yuan Spirit Realm dared to mock him.

"Lin Feng, what are you doing here?" Lin Huang turned his head to look at the white-clothed young man standing behind Lin Hai, and then asked.

This white-clothed young man is Lin Feng, the grandson of Lin Zhi, the great elder of the Lin family, who is currently seventeen years old, and has cultivated the fifth level of the Yuan Spirit Realm.

However, what kind of martial spirit it is, Lin Huang is not very clear, after all, there are few people in the entire Lin family who will treat him, so the news is naturally not very well-informed.

"Lin Huang, you are no longer the peerless genius you were at the beginning, I heard that yesterday the head of the family asked for a four-grade spirit pill 'Leopard Liberation Pill' for you, I don't know if you can cut your love? Of course, I will give you enough compensation. The young man in white said softly, but a look of imminence flashed in his eyes.

'Leopard Cleansing Pill' is a four-grade pinnacle elixir, after the martial artist under the Earth Spirit Realm swallows and refines it, he can greatly improve his cultivation qualifications, but its effect can only be maintained until the user breaks through the Earth Spirit Realm, and this spirit pill is ineffective for the strong people in the Earth Spirit Realm.

This elixir was asked by Lin Ruyuan, the head of the Lin family, from the first alchemist of West Wind City, the fourth-grade alchemist Master Mo, and it was very valuable.

"Lin Feng, this elixir was given by my father-in-law, I can't give it to you, you will die of this heart!" Lin Huang said categorically.

"Lin Huang, you are just a waste now, how can you be qualified to bargain with Feng Shao? This elixir is completely wasted on you. Lin Hai, who was standing on the side, said loudly.

"Where is the dog barking? I'm talking to your master, where is your little attendant talking?" Lin Huang glanced at Lin Hai next to him and said.

"Lin Hai, stand down. Lin Feng waved his hand at Lin Hai and motioned for him not to speak yet.

"Lin Huang, what do you need to do to hand over the elixir?" Lin Feng turned his head to Lin Huang again.

"Even if you say it out of the blue, I can't give you the elixir, you still have to die of this heart!" Lin Huang said categorically.

"Okay, good, good, since you're so stubborn, then let's wait and see!" Lin Feng was so angry that he turned around and left, not dragging his feet at all, but the moment he turned around, a touch of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

After Lin Huang watched Lin Feng and the others go away, he turned around and went back to the house, after entering the house, Lin Huang frowned, thinking: "This Lin Feng is not a good thing, it seems that I have to think of a way."

Lin Huang took out the simple jade pendant in his arms, and quietly stared at this piece of fiery red jade pendant, the dragon and phoenix were carved on the jade pendant, and the workmanship was fine, but there was nothing special, according to his father-in-law, when he picked up Lin Huang in the barren mountains, this jade pendant was on Lin Huang's body, most of which was related to Lin Huang's life experience, and told him to take good care of this thing.

Lin Huang has observed this jade pendant countless times over the years, and has never found anything special, Lin Huang thought: "Is this jade pendant really just a token?", I just couldn't understand it after thinking about it, so I put away the jade pendant in my hand and carefully put it into my arms.

......

night

Lin Huang approached the windowsill and gently pushed it open. Quietly looking at the bright moon in the sky.

"I offended Lin Feng today, and I don't know what to do, it's better to take one step at a time, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover up. Lin Huang thought to himself.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock at the door, "Young Master, can Xiaorou come in?" The voice of a young girl came from outside the door.

"Come in. Lin Huang said.

When the girl named Xiaorou heard this, she pushed open the door and walked in gently. Lin Huang turned around slowly, and what caught his eye was a young girl with good facial features and clear eyebrows, this girl was Lin Huang's stepfather Lin Ruyuan's maid Xiaorou arranged for him, and she had taken care of Lin Huang for three years now.

"Young Master, I've heard about today's events, then Young Master Lin Feng actually wants the elixir given to you by the head of the family, it's really too much!" Xiao Rou said angrily, "Why don't you let Xiao Rou tell the head of the family, then Young Master Lin Feng is simply lawless by relying on himself as the grandson of the Great Elder."

"Forget it, even if you tell your father-in-law, it's useless, the Great Elder's side will definitely not let Lin Feng hurt a single hair, but will provoke Lin Feng, doing so will only backfire. Lin Huang said.

"If the young master's original cultivation talent was still there, how could this Lin Feng dare to be so arrogant!" Xiao Rou said with some unconvinced.

"Xiao Rou, the world is impermanent, it makes no sense to say this now, I know my own situation, I may not be able to break through the Yuan Spirit Realm in this life. Lin Huang said calmly, but a trace of sadness and helplessness flashed in his eyes that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

"That's right, young master, Xiao Rou heard that there seems to be some treasure in the outer area of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range recently, many forces in Zephyr City are watching, and even the head of the family has sent an elder to investigate, you said that it would be great if that mysterious treasure could help the young master break through!" Xiao Rou said with a grin.

"Is this really the case?" Lin Huang asked with some excitement.

"I also heard it by chance when the children of the Lin family were chatting, maybe it's true......" Xiao Rou thought about it seriously, and then replied.

"This treasure...... Does it really exist?" Lin Huang touched his chin and groaned for a moment, and asked in a low voice.

"Young Master, it's true that a treasure appeared on the periphery of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, but whether that treasure can make the young master successfully break through, Xiao Rou is not sure. Xiao Rou on the side said.

"Then I'll take a trip to the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range tomorrow, hoping to get something out. Lin Huang said.

"Young Master, this trip may be dangerous, do you want to ask the head of the family to arrange a few powerful guards for you?" Xiao Rou asked tentatively.

"No need, I'll just go alone, if my father-in-law knew, most of them wouldn't agree to let me out, I'll sneak out early tomorrow morning, Xiaorou, don't mention it to others." Lin Huang instructed Xiao Rou.

"Yes, young master. Xiao Rou replied with her head down.

"Okay, Xiaorou, you go and rest first, I'm going to recharge my energy tonight and sneak out through the back door early tomorrow morning!" Lin Huang said.

"Yes, young master, Xiaorou retires. Xiao Rou slowly withdrew from the room, and the moment she closed the door, an inexplicable look flashed in Xiao Rou's eyes.
