“I ate it too fast, swallowed it all at once, and didn’t taste anything. Father, can you give me another one? I promise I’ll chew it slowly this time.”
Lin Chen licked his lips, still not having his fill.
“You cheeky rascal, don’t even think about fooling me! I bet your hide’s starting to itch again.” How could Lin Chen’s little trick escape Old Man Lin’s discerning eyes?
However, even though he was scolding him, Old Man Lin’s hand was busy. He sneaked another pill to Lin Chen while no one was looking.
He had quite a few offspring, a total of eight. This was to prevent his other children from noticing and accusing him of favoritism.
However, he had been watching his second eldest son’s efforts lately, and even when compared to the eldest son, there was not much difference. So, rewarding with an extra pill was not a big deal.
Having learned his lesson from before, Lin Chen ate carefully this time, fearing he might accidentally swallow it whole again.
“The taste is pretty odd, like burnt roast meat.” After smacking his lips, Lin Chen gave his evaluation.
It wasn’t bad, but it definitely couldn’t be considered delicious either.
!!..
“Apart from the taste, how do you feel? Any changes?” Old Man Lin rubbed his goatee and asked immediately.
Taste came second; the effect was the most important. Old Man Lin didn’t believe the Willow God gave him these solely to satisfy their cravings.
“After eating it, it feels like a warm current is flowing through my body. It feels really comfortable.”
Stretching his limbs, Lin Chen appeared to be extremely relaxed and comfortable.
In addition to that, he also felt his strength had increased slightly, but he wasn’t quite sure by how much. He would have to test this out.
In his mind, Jiang Hui was still immersed in the excitement of his own transformation. Suddenly, he realized he had forgotten to inform Old Man Lin about the specific usage of the bestowed item.
Helplessly, he had to implement the illusions of Huang Liang’s Dream again.
Hum—
At the summit, in an area of about four hundred meters, the air seemed to ripple, spreading rapidly.
Thanks to his previous experience, Old Man Lin showed eagerness rather than nervousness this time.
Yet when he saw the towering figure in the void, he could not help but feel amazed.
Without further discussion with Lin Zhuang, Lin Meng directly discussed the specific usage of the Junior House Construction Order and the Inferior Dragon Elephant Strength Pill.
“This item can form a house that shields from wind and rain out of thin air? And this elixir, just one pill can increase strength by twenty thousand jin?”
Old Man Lin was astound and dumbfounded.
This kind of good thing should be shared among everyone; Lin Chen had enjoyed two pills all by himself.
Old Man Lin grumbled, completely forgetting that he had given them to Lin Chen secretly.
“One pill equals twenty thousand Jin of strength, so two pills would mean forty thousand Jin. Doesn’t that mean my second eldest son’s strength has already exceeded fifty thousand Jin?” Lin Meng suddenly realized.
In the Wilderness, reaching a strength of twenty or thirty thousand Jin in the Blood Realm would allow one to attempt breaking through to the Cave Heaven Realm.
That said, Old Man Lin really wasn’t sure of the current Realm status of his children.
The passage into the Blood Realm supposedly involved a body-tempering process with the blood of Ferocious Beasts. But when did his eldest child go through this process?
Having such great strength without needing to undergo the beast-blood tempering process, all these incredible things were thanks to Lord Willow God!
Old Man Lin let out a sigh, barely keeping tears at bay as he glanced at the towering figure in the vast void.
People tend to become more sentimental as they get older.
If it weren’t for the Willow God, they might have been a pile of bones forgotten in the corner of the Fire Tribe.
Old Man Lin thought that if he had some fine wine, he could write a thick memoir.
However, just like the last time, he was pulled back to reality by Jiang Hui before he could digress too much.
“Father, can I play with these hidden weapons?”
Jolted out of his thoughts, a girl who looked like a porcelain doll, about twelve or thirteen years old, had suddenly appeared in Old Man Lin’s view.
That was his eighth child, Lin Xin Tong, the youngest of them all.
“Xin Tong, be a good girl, these are not toys.” Seeing his daughter, Old Man Lin couldn’t help but smile, picking up Xin Tong and amusing her with his goatee.
They say a child in one’s old age is more precious than gold. Old Man Lin had been blessed with many children, yet having another this late in his life, especially such a gem, brought him great joy.
“If they’re not toys, then what are they, father? Are you just not willing to let me play?” Xin Tong puffed up her cheeks, thinking that Old Man Lin was being stingy and that’s why he wouldn’t let her play. Everyone else was allowed to, yet she wasn’t.
Hmm, father favours the others over her!
If he isn’t giving it to her, she’ll cry to show him.
Planning to do just that, Xin Tong pouted, mustered her emotions, and burst into tears.
“Old man, just let Xin Tong play with them. They are not sharp, they won’t hurt anyone. Why are you being so stingy? You just called them hidden weapons, now all of a sudden you’re denying it.” Mrs. Zhang scolded Lin Meng, rushing to console her daughter.
When Xin Tong was born, she almost didn’t make it. Perhaps that’s why of all her children, she’s closest to this hard-won little daughter.
Plus, the little girl resembled her, sweet and cute, making Mrs. Zhang dote on her even more. Seeing her cry so pitifully, she immediately took her side.
“You’re the one who spoils her all the time!” sighed Old Man Lin, placing Xin Tong back down and becoming serious.
The little girl seemed to sense her father’s change in demeanor, as her sobbing instantly diminished, but then she seemed to think of something and began crying even more pitifully.
“Father’s scolding me! Father’s scolding me!”
The little girl sat down on the ground, in tears.
“Who are you putting on that stern face for?” Mrs. Zhang said, standing her ground as she had done for many years.
“Wife, let’s not talk about whether these things were given by Lord Willow God. Don’t you think Xin Tong is a little too wilful? If she wants something, she must get it. Otherwise, she will cry and throw tantrums. Everyone must accommodate her. We are in the Wilderness, where even beasts know they have to learn to walk and run as soon as they are born. Why are we any different?”
This time, Old Man Lin didn’t back down and argued the point..
