Chapter 315: Chapter 315

Wan Mingchuan suddenly became more nervous, what if he couldn’t awaken his bloodline inheritance at all?

What if, after all the hustle, he couldn’t learn the Heavenly Level cultivation technique at all and made his master and everyone fuss for nothing? Just thinking about it made him feel quite embarrassed.

"Everyone, let’s understand the basic situation first." Jiang Yuan casually drew a circle on the ground, "Mingchuan is going to enter the Lin Family’s Black Tower for closed-door cultivation. It’s actually a trap built by a cultivator in the Heartbeat Realm impersonating the Lin Family ancestor. What we need to do is to let Mingchuan cultivate inside peacefully, and kill anyone who comes!"

Yun Mo listened with a puzzled expression, "So many weird things happen these days, even impersonating ancestors? But... what’s the benefit of impersonating Lin Family ancestors? Has the imposter come for Little Chuanzi when he enters for cultivation?"

He scratched his head with his wing, unable to figure it out;

Bai Yunqi and Hu Zhile exchanged glances, vaguely discerning some inside story.

Last time, they both suspected the so-called Lin Family ancestor. The Venerable Family even bluntly stated that the Black Tower was "very inappropriate." Now the answer was apparent—the Lin Family probably had something worth scheming for, hence the impersonation to grant blessings but only building a bizarre tower.

"Do you know how many people the other side has?" Yun Shu was previously arranged to "electric fish" at home, and was completely unaware of the matter with not much curiosity. She took out a stack of talismans she painted and patted them, "Place a talisman every five steps and cover the Black Tower. While the destructive power may not be great, it should buy everyone plenty of time."

Having a skill in hand surely boosts confidence.

Jiang Yuan nodded approvingly and patiently explained, "Currently, I only know about one cultivator in the Heartbeat Realm, Yuan Liyang, who is the one impersonating the Lin Family ancestor and built the Black Tower. Whether he has accomplices is still unknown.

Mingchuan’s safety needn’t be worried. After he enters the Black Tower, I will use the Chaotic Heaven Bell to envelop the entire tower. We’ll ambush outside, ready to strike first as soon as someone transmits over."

"Heartbeat Realm cultivator, huh..." Bai Yunqi pondered, it’s one realm higher than himself, similar to that lunatic thrashed by the Venerable Family.

With the Venerable Family here, even if the opponent has stronger accomplices, it should be fine.

This is not the Netherworld, so he’s not worried about leaking aura and being detected, and can at least fight freely.

"I’ve prepared plenty of paper dolls to ambush in various corners of the Lin Family when we arrive; once the Chaotic Heaven Bell envelops the Black Tower, we’ll arrange Yun Shuhua’s talismans and then conceal our aura nearby. Does anyone else have any additions?"

"The enemy wants to hunt Little Chuanzi; our ambush to catch them off guard should be no problem."

Hu Zhile took out a small bottle from the storage bag and said softly, "To prevent mishaps, we can let Little Chuanzi take the antidote and carry two Corpse Poison Pills given by Lady Mother. This stuff is extremely toxic and hard to guard against; if someone forcibly breaches in, even a Heartbeat Realm cultivator would be dizzy from the poison, buying time for escape."

Jiang Yuan used Corpse Poison Pills while fighting the Riverfront Village boss, and the sustained blood drain effect was indeed effective, contributing significantly to a smooth clearance by delaying time.

"You must teach Mingchuan how to use the Corpse Poison Pills properly, since within the Black Tower, a closed space, it might poison himself." He thought about it and handed over a dose of Bee Venom, teaching his apprentice the use of relieving toxins.

Once everything was prepared, upon opening the teleportation scroll, everyone in the small courtyard promptly arrived at the Lin Family’s entrance.

"My eldest son is back? That’s wonderful!" Lin Shuo heard the news of his elder son’s return, and the previously sullen face instantly broke into a sunny smile. He greeted the Lin Family members to welcome the honored guest while reiterating to his wife, "This isn’t solely my decision, don’t overstep!

Mingchuan has both cultivation talent and backing, we must give him the title of Patriarch to ensure the child stays close to the Lin Family. I’ve said it hundreds of times, Mingchuan as the Patriarch is just a title, he won’t stay at the Lin Family nor could he steal Tianzuo’s spotlight?

Nominally Tianzuo is the Younger Second Family Head, but in reality, by then he’d be similar to me handling various family affairs, having great power is just a change of title, what’s wrong with that?"

Madam Lin rolled her eyes in anger, "If that’s the case, why wasn’t it announced to appoint the Younger Second Family Head during the celebration? I’ve spread the good news, invited so many from my family for the celebration, and nothing about our son was mentioned, where am I supposed to save face?"

Mentioning the celebration darkened Lin Shuo’s expression even further.

He felt suffocated but had no reasonable place to vent, the whole ancestor descending celebration was actually a sham! Being played for a fool while hosting some celebration, wouldn’t that surnamed Yuan guy laugh his head off upon knowing?

"No more entanglement!" He snorted coldly, "The most important thing now is to welcome the honored guest first; once Mingchuan successfully exits cultivation, we’ll host an even grander celebration, inviting all relevant and irrelevant noble families and sects to observe. By then, Tianzuo will certainly be appointed, just hold your horses."

Unable to vent her rage, Madam Lin had to swallow her humiliation and squeeze out a smile, bringing her two sons and a daughter to greet the guest.

"Lin Patriarch, Mingchuan needs to enter the tower for cultivation, kindly clear the area around the Black Tower thoroughly, I need to make arrangements to ensure his safety." Jiang Yuan didn’t have time to explain in detail, seeing a large crowd approach, he drew a boundary with a slight frown, "If a fight breaks out, excessive battle fallout could lead to innocent casualties."

"Alright! Alright!" Lin Shuo wanted to take the opportunity to suggest appointing the eldest as the Young Patriarch, but seeing Jiang Yuan’s stern expression, his powerful subordinates all looking solemn, dared not say anything further, quickly agreeing and then sent family members far away.

Lin Tianzuo and Lin Tianyou watched from far as Wan Mingchuan was surrounded by a group, feeling both envious and indignant.

He’s just an orphan without a guardian, yet he has such a powerful master protecting him, along with two fairy-like sisters bustling around. The twins exchanged glances and could see the deep resentment in each other’s eyes.

"Father is too biased. Wan Mingchuan didn’t even bother to revert his surname to Lin, but not only is he added into the family register on a separate page, even the Patriarch title and cultivation opportunity are given to him." Lin Tianyou huffed in anger fueling his brother, "Brother, you’ve become a joke, these days mother is so furious she can’t even eat!"

Lin Tianzuo didn’t respond, but his fists clenched tightly as he stared at the busy Lin Family elders and that family sacred place originally meant for him to enter first.

The previous generation had Father as the first legitimate son entering the tower for cultivation;

This generation should have had him, the legitimate son, occupying that glory, waiting so long only to have someone step ahead at the crucial moment, the prideful Lin Tianzuo raised as the heir couldn’t swallow this bitterness.

Lin Tianyou saw him and continued, "Our brothers’ cultivation speed is slow, isn’t it because the family can’t provide enough support?

If Spirit Stones and Elixir could be used freely, how would Wan Mingchuan’s cultivation talent stand out? Brother, you would definitely have succeeded in Foundation Establishment, and wouldn’t have been stepped on by him unnecessarily.

When the Black Stone Tower opens, Wan Mingchuan gains the advantage and will surely rise higher, his face will be held even higher!

Our brothers have to wait two more years...you see, what are they arranging? It must be something that gathers Spiritual Energy! If we can sneak in first and seize the benefits..."
