44: I'm taking the gamble!
Seeing that their persuasion was futile, the Lin Family members stopped trying.
One by one, they grinned as they clutched the Storage Pouches in their hands.
"Good heavens, with so many Spirit Stones, who needs cultivation resources anymore?"
"A thousand years? I'll give him another thousand years!"
Eighth Elder's smile was so wide it couldn't close.
Now the Lin Family had a Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land and a heaven-reaching tree sapling to increase Spiritual Qi.
And now they had several million Spirit Stones.
Even if they did nothing but live off their savings, they could squander it for a good while.
Grand Elder Lin Tao was also full of joy.
He looked dotingly at the figure sitting cross-legged in meditation.
During this time, Lin You had already brought them too many surprises!
"My Lin Family's child..."
"Has grown up!"
Just then.
Zhao Linger walked over, holding a large pile of Storage Pouches.
"Uncle."
"These are what they gave earlier, I'm returning them to you."
Zhao Linger's face still held a blush that hadn't faded.
But her inner moral standards made her curb her greed.
She still returned these coveted Storage Pouches.
Before anyone else could speak.
Lin You directly said, "You gave my Lin Family a heaven-reaching tree sapling, you should keep these Spirit Stones."
The uncles exchanged glances.
There's a chance!
Immediately, Second Elder Lin Dong spoke.
"That's right, Ling'er."
"Just keep them, you came all the way to the Lin Family, and we haven't even properly hosted you yet."
"If your father asks later, he'll blame us for being impolite."
"Take these few cultivation resources back to the Zhao Family."
"Consider it our return gift!"
Zhao Linger frantically waved her hands, "No, no, this is too valuable!"
"Although the heaven-reaching tree sapling is very good, what we gave was just an unbloomed seedling."
"The Lin Family is the one truly cultivating it, we can't accept such a grand gift."
"These Spirit Stones... there are probably several million."
Her words were so sincere.
Between a Sixth-Rank Star Domain and an Eighth-Rank Star Domain.
There was a world of difference.
Resources, in particular, were extremely limited!
Over three million Spirit Stones would be enough for the Zhao Family to squander for a long time.
It could even allow the entire Family to advance to a higher level.
Second Elder Lin Dong waved his hand, "Alright, girl, why be so polite with your uncle?"
"Take them!"
"No refusing."
"If your father isn't happy, let him personally return them to us."
Saying that,
Lin Dong consolidated the Storage Pouches into one and stuffed them all into Zhao Linger's hand.
"This..."
"This isn't appropriate, Uncle..."
Zhao Linger's voice was tiny, she said bashfully.
But with the conversation at this point, there was no room left for refusal!
Qin Feng, who had been silently watching from the side, showed no expression.
Although he was the biggest contributor to this harvest.
But the Qin Family simply didn't need this stuff.
He was already the Zhuge Family's prospective son-in-law, he had as many Cultivation resources as he wanted.
Qin Feng had only one thought in his mind.
Defeat Lin You!
Be number one!
"How much longer do you need?"
Lin You said faintly, "About a day. If you can't wait, you can leave first, we'll fight next time."
Qin Feng: "..."
"Alright, I'll wait here!"
Time passed minute by minute.
Lin You's aura also began to surge wildly.
However, due to the System's shielding, no one could detect it.
And within Lin You's body, that heaven-reaching tree sapling was also growing at an extremely exaggerated speed!

...Su Family.
Wei Yi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in the hall.
An indescribable sense of powerlessness enveloped him deeply.
Fight?
The Wei Family and the Lin Family would be in a fight to the death.
Not to mention the mysterious backer.
But not fight?
With the enmity reaching this point, what choice did he have left?
He could only pray that the Lin Family would spare his wife, children, and Elders in the future.
This outcome was absolutely unacceptable!
Wei Yi unconsciously clenched his fists and looked back at the figure on the main seat.
"Su... Family Head."
"Please think of a solution."
"Now that the Lin Family has gained power, they're probably about to soar to the heavens."
"At that time, the entire Mengpo Star Domain will be dominated by them!"
A trace of annoyance flashed in Su Ming's eyes.
He, who was always meticulous in his plans, had been slapped in the face several times in just three days.
His heart was even more irritated at this moment.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
—Swoosh.
Su Ming lightly tapped his fingertip, and a power far exceeding the Martial God Realm shot out.
It instantly pierced through Wei Yi's arm.
"Watch your tone."
"Otherwise, I don't mind killing you before the Lin Family does!"
Wei Yi grunted in pain, blood gushing from his right arm.
He struggled to cover his wound, his face as pale as paper.
It wasn't until this moment,
That he suddenly remembered the terrifying nature of this Su Family Head!
Since there was no choice.
Then he would go all the way!
All old and new grievances would be settled.
Wei Yi gritted his teeth, "Su Family Head, I was presumptuous."
"Please make a decision."
"No matter what, my Wei Family will be in the same camp as the Su Family!"
Su Ming's lips curled into a sneer.
Indeed,
A dog occasionally needs to be disciplined by its owner.
Otherwise, it would dare to bare its fangs at you!
Seeing Wei Yi express his loyalty, Su Ming nodded in satisfaction.
"Don't worry."
"I still have a trump card."
Everyone looked sideways.
Still more?
These trump cards were really numerous!
Wei Yi quickly said, "Is there anything I can do? Please tell me, Su Family Head!"
Su Ming took a sip of tea, but found the cup was already dry.
He said faintly, "The Heavenly Patrol Envoy is on his way."
"I've already spoken to the higher-ups in advance."
"Go and personally greet him, and explain the situation."
"At that time..."
"Cut the Gordian knot quickly, and use the darkness under the lamp!"
Su Ming beckoned, calling Wei Yi closer to whisper in his ear.
The others couldn't hear what they were saying.
They only saw Wei Yi nodding repeatedly, with occasional flashes of shock and solemnity in his eyes.
Finally,
Wei Yi clasped his fists deeply, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this!"
"The Wei Family has no turning back."
"We rise and fall together!"
Su Ming grunted.
Wei Yi turned and left the Su Family main hall.
Zhuo Chengxuan saw this and also clasped his fists to leave, but secretly curled his lips.
He mumbled, looking in the direction Wei Yi left.
"What scheme is that old fellow cooking up now?"
"My Zhuo Family's rise is set in stone."
"No matter how many families fight to the death, at worst, we can still follow behind and get a sip of the soup."
"Hmm... I need to find a way to inform the Lin Family again."
Zhuo Chengxuan clicked his tongue.
Now the Zhuo Family had chosen another Young Lord.
His talent was no less than the previous one, in fact, it was stronger.
But the Wei Family, after losing Wei Yi, had been unable to find another good seedling.
If this continued.
The Zhuo Family would definitely catch up and surpass them.
And Zhuo Chengxuan had made arrangements early on; when all the Geniuses were scrambling to offer Spirit Stones before.
He had already sent someone to blend in and secretly slip a large sum to the Lin Family.
At the same time, he also left a message of goodwill.
The more Zhuo Chengxuan thought about it, the happier he became, unable to resist clenching his fists.
"I'll bet on it!"
"That old fellow is betting on the Su Family."
"I'll bet on Lin You, isn't it just a Young Lord?"
"Whatever~"
