Chapter 317: Chapter 19: The Lin Family’s Ancestor

After preparing everything, Lin Jing once again headed towards the oasis.

As he was about to approach the oasis, Lin Jing spoke out, summoning the system.

“System, activate enhancement possession.”

As Lin Jing’s voice fell, a system prompt transmitted within his mind:

“Ding.”

“System prompt: Enhancement possession activated successfully, deducting 5 Harvest Points, lasts for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, 1 Harvest Point will be deducted every minute.”

Subsequently, Lin Jing felt the strength of his Divine Sense improve significantly more than before.

Moreover, the 40% Divine Sense enhancement that came with the enhancement possession caused Lin Jing’s range of Divine Sense to instantly expand considerably.

Having done all this, Lin Jing entered the oasis and, for the first time, proceeded towards the pool within its jungles.

This time, no telepathic messages came through.

Passing through the jungle surrounding the pool, Lin Jing arrived at the edge of the water.

This time, being physically present at the edge of the pool, the sight of the skeletons there was somewhat different from what he had seen in Observation Mode.

The atmosphere here was mixed; each skeleton retained a trace of its former life essence that could never be eroded away.

This place was like a burial ground, masking the once glorious lives of these individuals.

Looking at the bones on the ground, Lin Jing was affected by the atmosphere and inevitably experienced a touch of sentiment.

After a moment, Lin Jing calmed his emotions, then, with determined eyes, he looked again at the pool and began to walk towards it.

After observing for some time, Lin Jing knew that the pool harbored no danger; the most dangerous thing had always been that remnant soul.

Lin Jing directly stepped into the pool, and surprisingly, the water was exceedingly cool, a rarity in this desert.

Pumping his Spiritual Power, Lin Jing felt around and, seeing that his body exhibited no abnormalities, he then swam towards the middle of the pool.

The pool was roughly only about ten meters deep, not very deep at all.

Before long, Lin Jing had already reached the bottom of the pool.

He first arrived next to those two skeletons to carefully observe them. freewёbnoνel.com

Then, in the eye sockets of the skeleton that had previously housed the remnant soul, no more light shone.

The nail was still embedded there.

This nail was completely black, with cloud patterns swirling around it, and at the end of the nail was a small carving that looked very much like a skull.

This nail was clearly not an ordinary Magical Treasure.

In fact, it was obvious without thinking that a nail that could pin a remnant soul for such a long time was naturally not ordinary.

After closely inspecting it for a while, Lin Jing did not remove the nail, but instead turned and went over to another skeleton that looked like it was made of glazed material.

On the leg of this skeleton lay the Bloodline Inheritance Box.

However, the owner of this Glazed Skeleton had evidently been dead for a long time.

One could only faintly sense some of the formidable aura of the owner from the bones.

Next, Lin Jing reached out and directly picked up the box.

After securing the box, Lin Jing did not linger, taking the box with him and swimming straight back to shore…

During this time, no accidents occurred.

It was only after safely returning to the shore that Lin Jing truly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the remnant soul had indeed dissipated.

Once Lin Jing was ashore, he used his Spiritual Power to evaporate the water from his body, and then picked up the box to examine it closely.

After scrutinizing it for a while, Lin Jing nodded slightly.

The box was exactly the same as the one Senior Han had given him before.

Lin Jing then, unable to wait, set the box down and immediately took out the Flawless Sword, cut his finger, and then let the fresh blood drip onto the pattern atop the box.

As Lin Jing’s blood dripped onto the box, the pattern also began to emit light, gradually growing stronger and stronger.

Lin Jing’s blood slowly covered the entire pattern on the box.

With a “click,”

The box opened on its own.

Lin Jing looked inside the box and directly saw the Jade Slip inscribed with “Lin Family’s Alchemy Dao”…

This was yet another set of Lin Family’s Alchemy Dao, leaving Lin Jing somewhat bewildered for a moment.

The box given to him by Senior Han already contained a set of Lin Family’s Alchemy Dao.

And now here was another set.

Moreover, this Jade Slip was exactly identical to the previous one.

“Could it be that Lin Family’s Alchemy Dao has both an upper and lower part?” Lin Jing couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

Although Lin Jing had looked through the previous Alchemy Dao, he hadn’t read much of it.

Every time he just started, he would be struck by a splitting headache.

As a result, up until now, Lin Jing hadn’t been able to practice the Alchemy Techniques written on it.

He had thought it was simply because his Divine Sense wasn’t strong enough and had planned to wait until he reached the Golden Core Stage to try practicing the Alchemy Techniques.

He hadn’t started the practice yet, and here came another set of Lin Family’s Alchemy Dao…

……

Thereafter, Lin Jing took the Jade Slip out of the box.

It was only then that he noticed there were other Jade Slips underneath the Lin Family’s Alchemy Dao.

And there was more than one.

Following that, Lin Jing took out the other Jade Slips one by one.

Underneath the Lin Family’s Alchemy Dao was a blank Jade Slip.

Underneath the blank Jade Slip were two Cultivation Techniques.

One was named ‘Dao Transformation Divinity Technique’.

Another one was the “Overlord Divine Physique”.

From the names, one appears to be a cultivation technique related to Divine Sense, and the other seems to be a physical cultivation technique.

Lin Jing set aside these two cultivation techniques for the time being and took out another Lin Family Alchemy Jade Slip from his Storage Bag.

He wanted to carefully compare the two Jade Slips and see what made them special.

However, just as he took out this Jade Slip, the other Lin Family Alchemy Jade Slip that he had placed to the side reacted.

The Jade Slip began to emit a bright light and then floated in the air, the one in Lin Jing’s hand that he had just taken out did the same.

It hovered, emitting light and slipped from Lin Jing’s grasp.

Under Lin Jing’s watchful eye, the two Jade Slips combined, merging slowly together.

This process didn’t take long; soon, the two Jade Slips had fused into one.

Afterward, the light faded, and the Jade Slip fell back into Lin Jing’s hand.

Driven by curiosity, Lin Jing picked up the Jade Slip again and observed it anew.

However, after a thorough inspection,

Lin Jing found the surface of the Jade Slip seemed unchanged.

As Lin Jing puzzled over this, he suddenly caught something out of the corner of his eye; the other blank Jade Slip seemed to have changed.

Lin Jing placed the ‘Lin Family Alchemy’ Jade Slip aside and picked up the blank one.

This previously blank Jade Slip now bore a line of small characters.

“Descendant of the Lin Family, the bloodline has been unlocked.”

This line of characters appeared on the blank Jade Slip.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Jing, like before, cut open his finger and dropped his blood onto the Jade Slip.

Lin Jing knew that this Jade Slip must have been left by an ancestor of the Lin Family and likely contained some secrets.

When the fresh blood touched the Jade Slip, it slowly seeped into it, and the Jade Slip emitted a dazzling white light.

Then, the Jade Slip turned into a beam of light and shot toward Lin Jing.

Frightened by the approaching beam, Lin Jing instinctively tried to dodge.

But the beam was too fast, and before he could move out of the way, it plunged into his sea of consciousness.

However,

this action by the beam did not trigger any system warnings.

Nor did the protective phantom of the Divine Phoenix appear.

After the beam of light entered Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness, his own consciousness was pulled into it as well.

Now, inside Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness,

an elder appeared.

The elder looked ordinary, yet carried an extraordinary presence.

Within Lin Jing’s sea of consciousness,

Lin Jing regarded the elder before him, and the elder also looked back at Lin Jing, his eyes filled with disbelief.

“Descendant of the Lin Family…”

“How did you come by the bloodline inheritance box?”

After scrutinizing Lin Jing, the elder hastily asked.

“Who are you?” Lin Jing inquired respectfully, not sure of the elder’s identity.

The aura the elder possessed suggested that he was extraordinary in life, probably having reached the pinnacle of cultivation.

“I…”

“You must have guessed by now; I too am from the Lin Family.”

“Since you were able to open the bloodline inheritance box and have access to this Jade Slip, you must certainly be of my Lin Family. And I, I am one of your ancestors.”

Before Lin Jing could respond, the elder continued speaking:

“Immortal Crossing Island is no place for the ordinary. I brought the bloodline inheritance box there.”

“Where did you find this bloodline inheritance box?”

“Also, how fares our Lin Family now?”

As he spoke, the elder’s form began to waver, his expression pained as he said:

“Back then, I was deceived by my closest friend and enticed to bring the Lin Family’s Alchemy Techniques to Immortal Crossing Island.”

“Regrettably, I died there. As the culprit who failed our family, my death was well-deserved.”

“However, one part of the Lin Family Alchemy Techniques that I brought with me was lost on Immortal Crossing Island. If these two parts cannot be reunited, the Lin Family Alchemy Techniques can never be cultivated.”

“Can you tell me, how is the Lin Family doing now? Without the family’s Alchemy Techniques, has the Lin Family fallen?”

Regret filled Lin Jing as he saw the distorted figure of the elder in pain, but he nonetheless had to convey the truth.

Lin Jing bowed and said to the elder:

“Great Ancestor, please calm yourself, and I will explain everything to you gradually.”

Listening to Lin Jing’s words, the Lin Family Ancestor’s eyes sparkled with relief, and his form slowly steadied.

“Go on…”

Having calmed down, the Lin Family Ancestor spoke to Lin Jing.

“May I ask, Great Ancestor, what state are you in now? Are you a residual soul?” Lin Jing asked the Lin Family Ancestor.

The Lin Family Ancestor sighed and said:

“My physical body has long since perished, and what remains here is just a residual soul sealed within the Jade Slip, the obsession of my true self.”

“Since you could open this Jade Slip, it means the Lin Family must be alright. My wish is fulfilled, and I don’t think it will be long before I dissipate…”

The Lin Family Ancestor looked at Lin Jing, contented.

Lin Jing felt somewhat awkward, but after pondering for a while, he decided not to keep the truth from the Lin Family Ancestor and chose to reveal it:

“Actually, I wasn’t previously aware of any Lin Family…”
