As Grandfather Shi San’s voice fell, the middle-aged cultivator named Shi Jianxing immediately shivered and hastily knelt to the ground, his voice trembling:
“Elder…
elder…”
“It was my foolishness that led me to harbor selfish thoughts, which brought about such despicable acts.
Please punish me, elder.”
As Shi Jianxing’s voice fell, an elder of the Shi Family to the left of Grandfather Shi San looked towards Shi Jianxing and said:
“It seems, it was for the sake of the Void Immortal Thunder Stone.”
And on the right side of Grandfather Shi San, another Shi Family elder nodded:
“Hmm…”
“During the previous discussion about the Void Immortal Thunder Stone, Jianxing was right there.
He had intended to refine a Daoist Treasure, and it just so happened that he lacked a Void Immortal Thunder Stone.”
“Had Elder Qi not proposed to give the Void Immortal Thunder Stone to his own disciple, the Void Immortal Thunder Stone would have certainly been his.”
Hearing this, Lin Jing also instantly understood what was going on.
So all this was related to the Void Immortal Thunder Stone.
No wonder he was so hostile towards me.
He probably felt aggrieved in his heart.
Grandfather Shi San looked at Shi Jianxing, who was kneeling on the ground, his expression stern, and he spoke in a cold voice:
“As a member of the Shi Family, no matter what you encounter, the family will try to help you.
Even if the Void Immortal Thunder Stone can’t be allotted to you, you would be compensated in other ways.”
“The allocation of the Void Immortal Thunder Stone is a family decision, but because of your dissatisfaction, you offended a guest of the clan, and that breaks the family rules.”
“Breaking the family rules requires punishment.”
After speaking, Grandfather Shi San looked towards the elder on his right and said:
“Elder Five…”
“You are in charge of the family’s disciplinary affairs.
You decide the punishment for Shi Jianxing.”
Grandfather Shi San’s elder on the right nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said:
“There happens to be a need for a guardian in the depths of Shi Yuan.
Let him take on that duty.”
Upon hearing these words, Shi Jianxing’s body couldn’t help but tremble,
and the elder in charge of the family’s discipline, with a serious expression, looked towards Shi Jianxing and spoke directly, announcing his punishment:
“Shi Jianxing!”
“For provoking a family guest without reason and breaking family rules, you are now sentenced to guard Shi Yuan for a hundred years.”
“Do you have any objections?”
Upon hearing this, Shi Jianxing faced the elder and bowed deeply, saying:
“Jianxing is willing to accept the punishment.”
With that, the matter was considered resolved.
Afterward, Grandfather Shi San and another elder took Lin Jing to the Shi Family’s residence on the desolate mountain.
The elder in charge of discipline took Shi Jianxing in a different direction.
…
While walking on the road, Grandfather Shi San turned to Lin Jing and said:
“I really didn’t expect that you would be Elder Qi’s disciple and that you’ve entered the Elixir Alliance.
It seems your Alchemy Dao cultivation is also quite impressive.”
While speaking, Grandfather Shi San handed the Shi Token back to Lin Jing:
“This Shi Token is a kind of symbol within our Shi Family.”
“With it, no one from the Shi Family can disrespect you without cause, and when necessary, you can use it to request help from the Shi Family once.”
“Keep holding on to it.”
Originally, when Lin Jing first received the Shi Token, he had thought it was just a common token representing status.
It wasn’t until he presented the Shi Token and saw it stirring by itself, alarming the entire Shi Family, that Lin Jing realized something was amiss.
And through Grandfather Shi San’s explanation, Lin Jing finally understood that the token actually held such great significance.
Lin Jing nodded and then safely stored the token away.
Subsequently, Lin Jing spoke up, asking Grandfather Shi San:
“Elder Shi…”
“Didn’t you go to the outer realms’ void previously to find a recovery method for Shi San?”
“What was the outcome?”
“How is Shi San now?”
Upon hearing this, Grandfather Shi San’s expression softened, and he lightly nodded, saying:
“The result was fairly good…”
“His body has largely recovered, only his Soul Spirit has not yet fully healed, and he’s missing the final Elixir Medicine to make a complete recovery.”
“Once he’s recovered, he’ll be able to start cultivating.”
As he said this, Grandfather Shi San looked at Lin Jing and continued:
“We had been unable to find a way to heal Shi San before and thought his recovery was hopeless.
We were prepared to let him live out his life as a mortal, which is why we named him Shi San.”
“Now everything has changed, Shi San’s destiny has turned around, and he will no longer be the mortal Shi San.”
“Therefore…”
“We’ve also changed his name.
He is no longer called Shi San but Shi Tian.”
“Shi Tian…” Lin Jing said softly.
He then nodded and remarked, “Good name!”
…
…
The three of them made their way up to the top of the desolate mountain and entered the Shi Family.
Upon entering, Grandfather Shi San…
No, it should now be Grandfather Shi Tian.
Grandfather Shi Tian led Lin Jing straight to a courtyard covered by a Formation within the Shi Family.
Inside a room in the courtyard, Lin Jing saw Shi Tian again…
Compared to the last time they met, Shi Tian’s appearance had not changed at all, still the same as before.
Only…
He had not completely recovered yet and was still in a deep slumber at this time.
????0.??
Right now, Shi Tian lay on the bed with his eyes tightly closed, as if asleep.
Thanks to Grandfather Shi Tian’s explanations on the way, Lin Jing was aware of Shi Tian’s current state.
Shi Tian’s body had fully recovered, and he only needed to take one more Elixir Medicine to wake up completely.
And this final Elixir Medicine was the Soul-Returning Pill, which Elder Qi had researched and Lin Jing had once refined.
It was only now that Lin Jing realized…
the new Elixir Recipe that Elder Qi had been researching all along was for Shi Tian.
