22: Break through, break through quickly!

After Su Ming finished speaking, he left immediately without waiting for the Lin Family members to reply.

Lin You was the Lin Family's Young Lord, after all.

His words carried some weight.

It wasn't until Su Ming and the others left that the Lin Family members lamented.

“A thousand years! Youer, you were too impulsive!”

“We could have just fought them! When has my Lin Family ever feared trouble?”

“Exactly. A hero only fights for the present. Youer, you shouldn't have agreed.”

Lin You spread his hands.

“What if I hadn't agreed?”

“Should we have really fought them?”

“Think bigger. Our Lin Family has come this far not for a momentary burst of anger.”

A hint of relief showed in Lin Tao's eyes.

The child had grown up.

With such vision, the Lin Family could be safely handed over to him.

But at the same time, Lin Tao's eyes showed distress.

He didn't know what to say for a moment, and finally stepped forward and grasped Lin You's shoulder.

“Child...”

“You've been wronged.”

“But rest assured, even if we have to tighten our belts, we will give you all the Cultivation resources.”

Lin You looked slightly confused.

“Brother Tao, what's going on?”

“Didn't we confiscate a lot from the Five Great Families earlier?”

“We shouldn't be this poor.”

Lin Tao shook his head and said earnestly:

“You brat, you don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt until you manage a household.”

“When there was income, yes, it was enough.”

“But now, all eight of us old fellows need to Breakthrough to the Martial Immortal Realm, and we still have to support your Cultivation.”

“If there's only spending and no earning, how long can the resources last?”

Lin You's eyes lit up.

“Breakthrough!”

“All of you, hurry and Breakthrough! The faster the better!”

Second Elder, Lin Dong, waved his sleeve and flatly refused.

“Nonsense.”

“If all eight of us Breakthrough to the Martial Immortal, how many Cultivation resources will that consume?”

“What about you, brat?”

Lin You was incredibly anxious.

He wished he could make the System's secret public.

He angrily slapped his thigh.

“Uncles!”

“Just listen to me.”

“Hurry and Breakthrough to the Martial Immortal Realm!”

The uncles repeatedly waved their hands and even started discussing countermeasures.

They finally decided that four people should Breakthrough the Realm first.

The remaining four would wait until a thousand years later.

The surplus Cultivation resources would all be given to Youer.

Lin You stood aside, completely unable to interject, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

You'll Breakthrough a thousand years later?

Am I supposed to wait that long?!

Driven by desperation, Lin You had no choice but to say:

“Actually, I lied to you.”

Huh?

At these words,

everyone turned their heads simultaneously.

“I knew it!”

“You brat definitely couldn't swallow this humiliation.”

“Tell us, when are you planning to act? Your Eight Grandpa will join you!”

The other Elders also rolled up their sleeves, ready for a fight at any moment.

Lin You stumbled.

“I wasn't talking about that!”

“What I mean is, there's a reason why I Cultivate so fast.”

Lin Tao looked him over suspiciously and said in a deep voice:

“What reason?”

Lin You raised his hand, and the Yellow Emperor Sword Canon appeared in his palm.

With a solemn and mysterious expression, he said: “I received the True Inheritance of a great powerful figure!”

“Inside, countless Cultivation resources were left behind!”

“That's why I can advance a thousand miles in a day!”

—Boom.

Everyone was stunned.

Looking at the Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique in Lin You's hand, they finally remembered.

Right.

Where did this brat get a Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique?

“Holy crap, I knew there was a reason Youer was such a Prodigy!”

“Damn it... no wonder he reached the True Fire Refining Spirit Realm at eighteen, he had secret reserves!”

“What level of powerful figure? Martial Immortal Realm? Or Martial God Realm?”

Lin You looked at the crowd and said, steeling himself.

“Higher than that!”

Second Elder, Lin Dong, was also dumbfounded.

Higher?

He swallowed and asked uncertainly: “Could it be... the True Immortal Realm?”

To make sure everyone could Breakthrough without worries,

Lin You had to say: “Higher, even higher!”

This time,

even Lin Tao couldn't sit still. He quickly raised his hand and placed a Restriction over the entire Lin Family.

“A Legacy more powerful than a True Immortal Realm figure.”

“Could it have reached the True God Realm?”

“Youer... you mustn't speak carelessly!”

“An Opportunity like this is enough to change the entire Lin Family!”

Lin You slapped the Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique onto the table as if it were worthless.

“Stop asking!”

“It's higher than you can imagine, anyway.”

“The most urgent task right now is to quickly Breakthrough to the Martial Immortal Realm.”

“As long as we can't stand tall, we will be bullied.”

“Once we have the strength, why fear that wretched Su Family?”

Everyone looked at the Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique on the table, their hearts burning.

Their hearts began to beat wildly.

The power of a single Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique was enough to drive middle-tier Families crazy!

Lin You was able to kill a Profound Martial Arts Realm opponent across ranks relying on a powerful Divine Ability!

It was no exaggeration to say that the future of the Lin Family depended on this.

Lin Tao reluctantly shifted his gaze from the Cultivation Technique.

“Youer...”

“Keep this Cultivation Technique for yourself.”

There was an unwritten rule in the Cultivator world.

One's personal Opportunity should be kept for oneself.

Even beloved relatives and friends were not entitled to a share.

It was like an egg.

If you were the only one in the world who had one, that egg would be worth a thousand pieces of gold.

But if everyone had one,

the egg wouldn't be worth anything.

Lin You said indifferently: “Just hurry up and Breakthrough.”

“The Cultivation Technique was originally meant for everyone!”

Second Elder, Lin Dong, was a little awkward, his eyes burning as he looked at the Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique.

But he still forcibly suppressed the impulse in his heart.

“Youer, this is inappropriate!”

“It would be a waste for us old fellows to Cultivate a Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique.”

Lin You got angry.

How could people be like this?

He simply pretended to pick up the Yellow Emperor Sword Canon, making a gesture to tear it apart.

“You guys don't want to Cultivate, right?”

“Your visions are all so narrow. I'm thinking for the sake of the Lin Family.”

“If I don't rely on you to resist the Su Family, should I, an eighteen-year-old kid, go instead?”

“Fine!”

“You don't want to Cultivate, you don't want to Breakthrough, I can't argue with you.”

“I'll tear this Cultivation Technique right now!”

In an instant,

all eight Elders moved simultaneously.

In less than half a breath, eight aged arms were gripping Lin You tightly.

Damn it... who said they didn't care?

They even used Crossing the Void!

“We'll refine it, we'll refine it then.”

“Haha, kid, I like your assertiveness!”

“This is a Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique, alright, we'll listen to you this once, we'll all Breakthrough.”

Lin Tao's old face was wreathed in smiles.

Who wouldn't love a Heaven Grade Cultivation Technique?

Even a dog would stop and look twice before leaving.

“Youer is right, we old bones are lacking ambition.”

“Are we going to make him resist the Su Family?”

“Once we have the strength, who cares about those damn rules? Fists do the talking!”

With Lin Tao taking the lead, everyone finally united their front.

Lin You felt a stampede of ten thousand alpacas in his heart... why the sudden modesty? “Fine.”

“With those words, I can relax.”

“Uncles, I'm going to Cultivate.”

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

But before Lin You could enter the secret chamber for seclusion,

a powerful aura soared into the sky behind him.

Brother Tao.

Martial Immortal Realm!

Lin You turned back dumbfounded, meeting Brother Tao's simple and honest smile.

The latter was holding the Yellow Emperor Sword Canon, having only flipped through a few pages.

He scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed.

“I suppressed it for too long.”

“I accidentally Broke through!”

...Accidentally?

Lin You roared internally.

What about protecting the Dao?

What about mental state comprehension?

What about seclusion?

Breakthrough just like that?!

You're a Genius!

Before he could speak, Second Uncle Lin Dong also Broke through.

In an instant, the Void Realm shattered.

Another Martial Immortal.

What the f*ck?

Lin You's gaze now mirrored how they had looked at him before.

“Freaks!”
