Chapter 30: Insights on Master Cultivation and Millennium Stone Essence
“Begin family simulation.”
With a thought, under Lin Zichen’s control, the 100 lower-grade spirit stones transformed into energy points and disappeared instantly.
Immediately, a familiar light screen appeared before his eyes.
Lines of text continuously appeared, one after another, before him.
[Lin Family Year 213, July 1st: Lin Zichen, the young master of the Lin family, participated in the clan meeting and received a share of the spiritual field income, totaling 2,300 lower-grade spirit stones. In the same month, the fifth-generation elders of the Lin family—Lin Weikun, Lin Weiquan, and Lin Weinan—successively broke through to the Master realm. With this, the Lin family now has five Master Realm powerhouses, securing its position as a second-rate power.]
[Lin Family Year 214, January 16th: With an ample supply of spirit stones, Lin Zichen broke through to the ninth stage of the Prenatal realm. That same year, the cultivation resources for the family members increased by 30%. The number of talented youths doubled, and there was an abundant supply of pills, greatly boosting cultivation enthusiasm.]
[Lin Family Year 214, August 1st: Lin Zichen advanced to the peak of the ninth stage of the Prenatal realm and could progress no further. He shifted focus to refining his martial skills. Seven days later, the family hosted a coming-of-age ceremony, inviting allies from Qingfeng City and neighboring factions. Lin Zichen dominated the competition without a fight, winning the championship. The exceptional talent of the Lin family’s younger generation astonished the attending factions.]
[Lin Family Year 214, August: The rapid growth of the Lin family aroused suspicion among the other factions. However, due to the family’s ties to Qingzhou City, none dared to act rashly.]
[Lin Family Year 215, January 18th: Fifth-generation elders Lin Weibai and Lin Weimao broke through to the Master realm using resources provided by the Qingzhou City Lin family. Lin Zichen mastered the Master Martial Skill, the Cloud-Turning Sword Technique. The number of Lin family’s Prenatal Realm warriors reached 200.]
[At this point, aside from Lin Zichen, the triple cultivation speed boost for the Lin family members ceased to have an effect.]
[Lin Family Year 215, March 8th: The Wang family received orders from the Wutong County Wang Family to suppress the Lin family’s development and look for an opportunity to cripple or even kill Lin Zichen. Support from Qingzhou City ensured they could withstand the pressure.]
[The Wang family allied with the Zhao and Huang families to undermine the Lin family’s medicinal herb business, hoping to force a competition among the younger generation and plot against Lin Zichen. However, the Lin family had long since transformed. With vast spiritual fields and several alchemists, they swiftly counterattacked. Within half a month, the Wang, Zhao, and Huang families were in disarray in the herb market.]
[Lin Family Year 215, April 1st: The Lin family’s demonstrated strength frightened the Wang family. They suspected Qingzhou City Lin family assistance and sought help from their main branch. Ultimately, they decided to hire the “Dusk” assassin organization to eliminate Lin Zichen.]
“Hmm?”
They’re even hiring assassins to target me? What did Mu Zhan offer the Wang family?
Seeing this, Lin Zichen’s eyes narrowed slightly.
This was different from previous simulations. Over six months ago, the Qingzhou City Lin family had sent significant resources to the Qingfeng City Lin family, primarily to strengthen Lin Zichen’s cultivation. Clearly, he and his family had already attracted the attention of Qingzhou’s top leadership.
So, why would the Wang family risk annihilation to hire assassins against him?
Do they believe the Mu family can protect them? Or did Mu Zhan offer something irresistible? Perhaps both?
“I’ll see just how determined you are to eliminate me~!”
With this thought, Lin Zichen’s gaze returned to the light screen in front of him.
Lines of text continued to appear as he focused on the screen.
[Lin Family Year 215, April 23rd: Given the current transformation of the Lin family, Lin Zichen’s status as the young master naturally rose significantly. The “Dusk” assassin organization accepted a task only after receiving 5,000 lower-grade spirit stones, dispatching an assassin at the seventh stage of the Prenatal realm.]
[However, with the Lin family’s recent experiences and growing power, Lin Zichen arranged for Lin Weimao—now promoted to the fourth-generation elder—to secretly guard him. The seventh-stage assassin’s famed stealth was useless against a Master. He was captured instantly but managed to bite down on a poison pill hidden in his mouth, taking his own life.]
[Lin Family Year 215, April 23rd: Upon learning from the “Dusk” assassins that the Lin family had Master Realm protection, the Wang family was furious. The assassin organization demanded an additional 5,000 lower-grade spirit stones as compensation for false intelligence. If they wanted another assassination attempt, they would have to pay an additional 10,000 lower-grade spirit stones. This enraged the Wang family’s leadership.]
[Lin Family Year 215, April: Mu Zhan from the Mu family in Qingzhou City soon heard the news. Planning to personally lead his family’s strong warriors to eliminate you, he was stopped just outside Qingzhou City by Lin Tiangang, the Lin family’s unparalleled genius. Simultaneously, all Mu family powerhouses at the Master stage and above were closely watched by Lin family experts, preventing them from leaving Qingzhou City.]
Left with no choice, Mu Zhan pressured the Wang family to kill Lin Zichen at any cost. In return, they promised a Millennium Stone Essence and insights on breaking through to the Master realm.
After intense negotiations, the Wang family agreed, provided they received the Master insights first and were given three drops of Millennium Stone Essence instead of one. Though it pained the Mu family’s leadership, they reluctantly agreed for the sake of their grand plan.
“Millennium Stone Essence and Master cultivation insights… The Mu family possesses such treasures?”
Lin Zichen’s pupils constricted sharply as he read the new information.
It wasn’t the cultivation insights that shocked him, but the Millennium Stone Essence.
This essence is incredibly rare.
Legends say it enhances a martial artist cultivation potential and boosts their power. While it doesn’t improve his already exceptional talent, its power-enhancing properties made him envious.
“Millennium Stone Essence… Each drop takes a thousand years to form. It’s immensely potent yet gentle. With my current ninth-stage Prenatal realm cultivation, a single drop could propel me to the Master realm, saving immense time and effort.”
“Phew… I wonder if this family simulation will grant me such a treasure. If it does…”
Suppressing his excitement, Lin Zichen turned his gaze back to the screen.
As more text appeared, a cold smile spread across his face.
He wanted to see if, against a Lin family that had grown tenfold in strength, the Wang family could still isolate him as they had before.
