They All Deeply Regretted It After I Became Indifferent - Chapter 60
Lintian got up, incredulous: “Uncle Changqiang, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
“What mistake? Would I lie to you?” Lin Changqiang gave another kick to his clueless nephew.
“And the rest of you, come and greet properly.”
In the Lin family, seniority was taken very seriously.
Although Lin Changqiang’s cultivation was mediocre, the younger generation was very obedient. They each approached Lin Mo and bowed to the young man who didn’t seem much older than themselves.
“Hello, uncle!”
Lintian quietly approached Lin Qingqing and asked, “Sister Qingqing, is this man really our uncle?”
Lin Qingqing gave Lin Tian, the dazed youngster, a cold glance: “If it weren’t for my dad stopping you, you might have been the one with two broken legs.”
Among his peers, Lin Tian’s strength was quite commendable.
Now eighteen, he had reached the Foundation Establishment stage two years ago.
He didn’t quite believe it: “Sister Qingqing, I’ve established my foundation too, and he doesn’t look much older than me!”
“Believe it or not, that’s your problem!”
Despite his reluctance, Lin Tian still approached Lin Mo and performed an unwilling salute: “Uncle… good to see you!”
“That’s enough, rise.” Lin Mo said with a faint smile, not one to take offense with the younger generation.
After some idle chatter.
The younger ones present learned that this young uncle was their father’s youngest brother.
A child without a spiritual root, from the ancient Ningxin lineage.
It was said that he had joined the Qingling Sect in his early years.
Knowing this, they held a certain disdain for this young uncle.
How impressive could a child without a spiritual root, a mere mortal, be?
Perhaps he was not favored by the great-grandfather, deprived of cultivation resources, and that’s why he joined the immortal sect.
As noon approached, the Lin family’s clan meeting had concluded.
Lin Zhan, upon learning of his child’s return, rushed over in haste.
The moment he saw Lin Mo, he knew his child had formed his Golden Core.
“Mo’er, when did you form your core?” Lin Zhan asked excitedly.
“Some days ago.”
Facing his father, who looked about the same age as himself, Lin Mo felt the pressure.
After all, his father had great talent, formed his core early, and thus aged very slowly.
In the twenty-five years since his birth, his father’s face had hardly changed.
“You truly are my son. I’m sure your grandfather will be delighted to hear this tomorrow,” Lin Zhan said joyfully, taking out several bottles of elixirs from his storage ring.
“Here, these Nine Revolutions Pills will be of great assistance to you in your Golden Core phase. Take them.”
The Nine Revolutions Pill was a third-grade pill that aided in cultivation, only suitable for those in the Golden Core phase, and its effects were quite remarkable.
Lin Mo saw that Lin Zhan had given him as many as twenty of these pills.
He couldn’t help but ask in confusion: “Father, I remember that in the Lin family, you can only receive one Nine Revolutions Pill per month, why do you have so many?”
At this point, Gu Ningxin spoke up: “In the past few years, seeing that you were already in the late stages of Foundation Establishment, your father has been reluctant to use them, saving them for when you formed your core.”
“Ningxin…” Lin Zhan frowned slightly, as if he thought Gu Ningxin was being a bit too talkative.
“Mo’er is all grown up now, there are some things he needs to know.”
Lin Zhan sighed, “Mo’er, you know about the hidden illness in my body. These elixirs are barely effective for me, with only a tenth of their potency remaining. It’s such a waste.”
For over twenty years, Lin Zhan’s cultivation had been stuck at the mid-stage of the Golden Core, with faint signs of regressing to the early stage.
Lin Mo pushed the Nine Turns Pill back, “Rest assured, Father. These elixirs won’t be wasted on you from now on.”
Lin Zhan didn’t quite understand what he meant and was about to ask when Lin Mo took out a pill from his storage ring.
His pupils dilated instantly, “Is this, a sixth-grade elixir?”
After all, he was once a prodigy, and during his adventures, he had seen many treasures. He still had that discerning eye.
Lin Mo nodded, “Yes, this elixir can heal hidden illnesses, and it’s particularly suitable for you, Father.”
Hearing that it could heal his illness, Lin Zhan couldn’t hide his excitement.
After all these years, from genius to waste, how much mockery had he endured?
Whenever he cultivated, the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy wasn’t even a thousandth of what it used to be. How could he calm his heart and continue cultivating with such a disparity?
Realizing he was no longer alone, he ultimately didn’t take the pill but said, “This elixir is so precious, and it’s still uncertain whether it can cure my illness. It’s not worth it for me to use it. Better save it for you, Mo’er, for an emergency.”
Lin Mo saw through his father’s thoughts.
His heart warmed, he explained, “Father, don’t worry needlessly. Once the elixirs are consumed, I can just refine more.”
“But…” Lin Zhan was still hesitant when he suddenly realized something and looked at Lin Mo in astonishment, “Mo’er, did you refine this elixir?”
Lin Mo chuckled, “What, you think I stole it?”
This was a sixth-grade elixir!
His father had been obsessed with alchemy for years, and now at three hundred, he could only refine fourth-grade elixirs.
And this child, barely in his twenties, not only had a Golden Core cultivation but could also refine a sixth-grade elixir. That’s impossible even if he had started studying from the womb.
Seeing his father’s incredulous face, Lin Mo didn’t waste words and took out the Starfire Purple Copper Furnace.
He didn’t have the materials to refine a sixth-grade elixir at hand.
But he did have the materials for the Nine Turns Pill.
Following the recipe in his memory, Lin Mo began the alchemy process.
Lin Zhan didn’t interrupt, just watched from the side.
The more he watched, the more amazed he became.
An hour later, when Lin Mo placed the freshly refined Nine Turns Pills before him, he fully believed in his child’s abilities.
Ten ‘Nine Turns Pills’, flawless, of even better quality than those he received from the Lin family.
“To have such a son, my life is complete!”
With no more hesitation, Lin Zhan took the elixir in front of Lin Mo, sat down, and began to meditate, absorbing its power.
In no time, Lin Zhan’s skin started to redden, and steam rose from his head.
Gu Ning was somewhat worried, but Lin Mo reassured her, “Mother, this is a normal reaction when absorbing the elixir’s power. Don’t worry too much.”
As he spoke, he took out a fifth-grade Life-Extending Pill and a Youth-Preserving Pill, urging Gu Ningxin to take them as well.
That night, Lin Mo didn’t go anywhere. He simply stayed in front of his parents, quietly waiting for them to absorb the medicinal effects of the pills.
During this time, he remembered something important.
He recalled that the system had mentioned that the spiritual root he had drawn, which cost regret points, could be transferred to someone else.
His mother, Gu Ningxin, was a mortal. Why not exchange it for her?
After cultivating, Gu Ningxin would not only be able to protect herself but also live longer, and she wouldn’t feel so stifled in the Lin family.
From noble mtl dot come
With this thought, Lin Mo asked the system.
“System, how many regret points would it take to exchange the single-series fire spiritual root for my mother?”
[Reminder: Host, the exchange cannot be made.]
“Why not?”
“Didn’t you say before that it could be exchanged?”
[That was referring to ‘humans’ who could be exchanged.]
“What does that mean?”
[The following content is premium. Please pay regret points for the answer, two hundred per question.]
Lin Mo was covered in black lines.
This system was truly a little miser.
“Fine, explain it to me now.”
[Because, host, your mother is not a human. Or rather, she is a demon who has shed her demonic nature and demonic qi to take on a human form.]
[Host, why do you think you can cultivate both immortality and demonhood?]
[Of course, it’s because you inherently possess half of the original ‘demon’ bloodline, which has been dormant until now.]
Lin Mo was shocked.
The original owner’s mother was a demon?
And she willingly took on a human form to live with his father.
Did his father know about this?
Well, that was his parents’ affair. Whether it was cultivating immortality or demonhood, it didn’t matter.
At least, the ‘love’ Lin Mo felt from his parents was genuine.
Nothing else mattered.
As dawn broke, Lin Zhan slowly awoke, feeling refreshed and clear-headed.
He could distinctly feel that the chronic ailments in his body had been completely healed by the medicinal power of the pills, and he had even made a breakthrough to the late Golden Core stage with their help.
After a quick tidy up, he hurriedly took Lin Mo and Gu Ningxin to the Lin family’s main hall to wish Lin Nantian a happy birthday.
Today, the Lin household was bustling with activity, as the family’s young members started their preparations early.
On the road, Lin Zhan seemed to remember something and slowly said to Lin Mo, “Mo’er, today the Jiang family’s girl will also come to wish your grandfather a happy birthday. You two rarely meet, so remember to take the opportunity to grow closer.”
Lin Mo simply responded with a soft ‘Hmm’.
According to the original host’s memories, he and Jiang Yanran were childhood sweethearts, but their meetings had become scarce since joining the Qingling Sect.
Whenever his spiritual plants matured, he would personally deliver a portion to his fiancée.
Compared to his foster sister Shen Ke’er and his master Yuehua, the original host harbored genuine romantic feelings for Jiang Yanran.
Lin Mo was curious to see if Jiang Yanran, now pampered by the heavens, would still remember the original host’s kindness and continue to honor their marriage agreement.
However, judging by her attitude towards the original host these past two years, the outcome was unlikely to be so rosy…
……..
Today’s update: One chapter!
Total manuscripts: Nine chapters.
Still asking for your votes.
With the upcoming chapters resolving the family affairs, Lin Mo naturally didn’t share the original host’s worries and could leave the Qingling Sect at any time.
Starting from the fiancée’s storyline, it marks the beginning of the protagonist’s thin veil, and he will meet the new female lead.
The unveiling of the master and foster sister’s stories will have to wait until after the return to the sect when Ye Kai frames him, but you can consume with confidence.
