I Cultivate Immortality With Scientific Thinking

Chapter 63: Promise

"Cousin, your visit to my humble abode truly brings radiance to this small house!" Lin Chen led the way with a smile on his face, exuding a warm and welcoming aura.

"Cousin, you're too kind." Lin Tianhang smiled in response.

Following Lin Chen's lead, the two entered the house and sat down at a table to discuss.

"This tea is called Qingling Tea. It is made from the fresh leaves of a Qingling Tea tree that I transplanted at great cost. It has the effect of enhancing alertness and nourishing the soul. It is usually served to esteemed guests. I hope Cousin Tianhang won't find it lacking." Lin Chen confidently took out the leftover Ling Tea from last time.

There was no choice. With recent financial difficulties and the fact that the truly good stuff was reserved for personal use, he could only continue using the leftovers from last time.

But it didn't matter. As long as he didn't say anything and exaggerated its effects a bit, who would know?

"Cousin, you're too kind!" Lin Tianhang couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this.

Lin Chen smiled faintly and summoned the spring water from afar to start brewing the tea.

"By the way, why did you come this time, Cousin Tianhang? Where is Lin Tianhao?" Lin Chen casually asked while brewing the tea.

"Lin Tianhao is not feeling well, so I came in his place today." Lin Tianhang responded.

"Not feeling well? A cultivator not feeling well? Could it be that he's scared?" Lin Chen's hand paused slightly.

Lin Chen guessed correctly. Since Lin Tianhao came back from his last visit, he refused to come over no matter what.

After all, he had been spoiled since childhood. Although no one spoke to him in a gentle voice, they were always polite.

But Lin Chen was different. He had climbed up from the bottom and had an indescribable aura and determination. He would even flip the table at the slightest disagreement. This kind of dominance almost gave him a psychological shadow, so he really didn't want to come over.

Therefore, Lin Tianhang had to come instead.

After brewing the Ling Tea, the two each held a cup and took a sip, then fell into silence.

"Cousin, you should know the purpose of my visit, right?" After a while, Lin Tianhang spoke first.

"Of course I know. I just don't know what price the Lin family is willing to pay." Lin Chen blew away the mist on the tea cup and calmly asked.

"The elders of the family are willing to offer one thousand spirit stones for Cousin's help." Lin Tianhang said seriously.

One thousand spirit stones to dismiss a beggar?!

Lin Chen raised his tea cup, his eyelids drooping slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his face.

You see, he had been in the sect for more than ten years and had almost severed ties with the Lin family. Even if the Lin family encountered problems, it wouldn't affect him.

But if he were to take action, he would offend two Foundation Building forces at once and be targeted by the family disciples of the other side in Azure Cloud Sect. Not to mention that this time, there was a high possibility of encountering Foundation Building cultivators!

It could be said that it was troublesome and dangerous, yet the Lin family only offered this little?

"Hiring someone to help, but unwilling to offer enough benefits. Always thinking about a free ride. No wonder they are becoming more and more destitute and even being undermined by others..."

"It seems that I should choose to inherit the family property. With this disaster around, the Lin family won't survive..." This thought flashed through Lin Chen's mind, but when he put down the tea cup, a smile appeared on his face.

"Cousin, how can you say that? We are both members of the Lin family. When the family is in trouble, we should lend a hand!" Lin Chen said loudly.

"Cousin!" Lin Tianhang was first stunned, then a touch of emotion appeared on his face.

Originally, the elders of the family only wanted to offer three hundred spirit stones, but under his persuasion, they were willing to offer one thousand spirit stones. But even so, it was still not enough for Lin Chen. After all, others could remain indifferent.

Originally, he thought it wouldn't work out, but he didn't expect Lin Chen's cousin to care so much about family ties. He easily agreed, it seems that he still cares about the family in his heart.

After discussing this matter, the relationship between the two seemed to become closer, and they chatted more harmoniously.

"Brother Tianhang, I don't know if I should say something?" While chatting, Lin Chen casually asked.

"But feel free to say it."

"From what I know, when the marriage was called off back then, it seems that the family didn't treat Brother as well, even the mother was removed from the position of clan leader and unfortunately passed away. Why is it different today..." Lin Chen asked tactfully.

Lin Tianhang fell silent and answered after a long while, "It was my own fault back then, and the family had no choice. Besides, if the family doesn't abandon me, I won't abandon the family."

Hmm?

Lin Chen was taken aback for a moment and looked at the other person, unexpectedly finding someone who values loyalty and family ties.

"But unfortunately, the entrusted person is not reliable..." Lin Chen sighed lightly in his heart.

After saying this, Lin Tianhang seemed unwilling to talk further. They didn't chat for long before he got up and bid farewell.

Before leaving, he also said, "In this matter concerning the family, I hope you can help, cousin!"

"Don't worry, since I've agreed, I will definitely do my best to help!" Lin Chen said seriously.

For Lin Chen, since he had agreed to the other party, he would fulfill his promise, inherit the Lin family's property, and carry on its legacy.

"Oh, by the way, all the juniors related to the Lin family in the sect will return this time. Cousin can take this opportunity to get to know the others, which will be convenient for future care within the sect."

Hmm? Everyone is going back?

Lin Chen was momentarily stunned, but quickly understood and nodded.

"In that case, I'll take my leave for now." Lin Tianhang bowed and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lin Chen.

"Please wait, cousin!"

"What's the matter?" Lin Tianhang turned around, a look of confusion on his face.

"I just have a few words to say to Cousin Tianhang." Lin Chen smiled.

"But feel free to say it."

"I see Cousin Tianhang as a determined cultivator, even in the face of setbacks. I believe you are someone with a firm Dao heart," Lin Chen said meaningfully.

"As cultivators, the beautiful bonds of family and friendship can be a wonderful support on our path to immortality. However, we should not be too attached and sink into them, being unreasonably demanded by others."

"We cultivators should seek longevity and freedom, not be trapped by worldly affairs and bound by the demands of others."

After hearing Lin Chen's words, Lin Tianhang was visibly stunned. He remained silent for a long time before slowly nodding and turning to leave.

"If one doesn't have a firm Dao heart, even with the help of unseen luck, how far can they really go?"

Watching the figure of the other person recede, a strange gleam flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, but soon turned into a look of confusion.

If he didn't mishear just now, it seems that this time the Lin family has called back all their clan members for an incident.

But the problem is, this time they are not going back to celebrate, but to face difficulties. Aren't they afraid of being wiped out by the enemy?

Lin Chen stroked his chin, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.

"Could it be that there is another hidden situation in this matter concerning the Lin family?"
