Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Departure, Mysterious Background

"Young Master, Xiaoyu will definitely cultivate diligently."

Feeling the changes in her body that were different from before, Xiaoyu was extremely happy inside and secretly resolved to cultivate hard to catch up with Lin Chen’s footsteps as soon as possible.

After explaining some of the cultivation difficulties of the Great Flame Technique to Xiaoyu, Lin Chen also took out several Spirit Stones and Talisman Inscriptions to give to her.

Having done all this, Lin Chen and Xiaoyu sat down together and began to meditate.

Xiaoyu was very excited and curious about her first cultivation session, perhaps because she wanted to catch up with Lin Chen quickly, she cultivated with extra care.

Time hurried by, and as Lin Chen observed the dimming sky outside the window, he woke up from his meditation.

"Young Master, your parcel."

Although Xiaoyu was very reluctant, she had prepared the parcel early on.

Lin Chen accepted it, patted Xiaoyu’s head, and then headed towards the door.

Lin Chen left the Lin Family without making any sound to disturb them.

The day’s plan lies in the morning, but not all martial artists can maintain the habit of getting up to practice and absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the early morning.

"Go, my lad, I believe that on the day we meet again, you will surely be a presence I look up to," the Great Elder’s figure appeared on the rooftop after Lin Chen left the Lin Family, watching Lin Chen’s retreating back, his old eyes also became misty.

Half an hour before sunrise, Lin Chen didn’t rush to the city gate but went to the Wanxing Commerce Association instead.

"Lin Chen, you really came."

Yu Weilian deliberately dressed up today, wrapped in a purple dress, extremely enchanting, she said with a seductive smile upon Lin Chen’s arrival.

"You knew I would come?"

Lin Chen looked at Yu Weilian, a smile on his face.

"I was just coming out to see, Sister Yu said you couldn’t let go of the Lin Family and would definitely come."

Zhao Lingxi’s voice rang out from the loft. Zhao Lingxi seemed to have just finished her cultivation, her clothes wet with sweat, not yet having had time to wash up. Right now, her allure was boundless, leading to endless fantasies.

"Sister Yu is right, I hope that after I leave, the Wanxing Commerce Association can take care of the Lin Family somewhat. This kindness, Lin Chen will surely remember in his heart," Lin Chen said, looking up at Zhao Lingxi on the loft and then at Yu Weilian, giving a slight cupped fist salute to the two.

"If I help you take care of them, how do you plan to repay this kindness, Little Brother Lin Chen?" Yu Weilian asked with a smile on her face, appraising Lin Chen up close.

Lin Chen was so scrutinized that he felt uneasy, unsure how to respond.

This fairy, why does she look like she wants to devour him?

Seeing Lin Chen in such an awkward state, Yu Weilian couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. Then she slowly leaned in and whispered in his ear.

"Pavilion Master Xun asked me to pass a message to you. The reason why the Jade Cauldron Sect is named as such is that the founder of the sect used a jade cauldron. If you could find this cauldron and use your Divine Soul to probe it, you might be able to glimpse the true inheritance of the Jade Cauldron Sect," whispered Yu Weilian, pulling back after speaking.

"It’s getting late, you should set off now. The Lin Family and the Wanxing Commerce Association will naturally look after your family. If you gain a great reputation in the Jade Cauldron Sect, no one will dare to trouble your Lin Family," she smiled slightly as she spoke.

Hearing this, Lin Chen bowed in thanks again, his heart brimming with infinite gratitude.

He had previously known nothing about the Jade Cauldron Sect, but now, with this secret of the Jade Cauldron, Lin Chen had gained a new understanding of the sect.

When Lin Chen arrived at the city gate, the other nine selected people were already there.

Ning Shangfeng was sitting on a high stone, facing the direction of the rising sun, circulating his cultivation technique. As Lin Chen approached, Ning Shangfeng was just finishing up, and Lin Chen squinted his eyes, surprisingly noticing a wisp of purple aura being absorbed into Ning Shangfeng’s body.

Although the purple aura was faint, it far surpassed ordinary spiritual energy. The Primordial Transformation Decree had an introduction to this; it was the essence of the daily routine found in the early morning when absorbing the purple aura that comes with the sunrise.

Lin Chen had not expected that the cultivation techniques of the Jade Cauldron Sect possessed such ability.

However, cultivating with the coming of the purple aura was not easy, and one’s cultivation had to reach above the Spirit Gathering Realm, or else Lin Chen would also practice it daily.

Upon Lin Chen’s arrival, Mu Qingxuan’s complexion appeared somewhat unwell, probably due to the pressure from the Mu Family. She wanted to approach Lin Chen and say something, but she was too afraid to step forward.

In the past, she used to follow Lin Chen around every day, but the incident with her sister had made her feel too ashamed to see him.

"Since everyone is here, let’s set out."

As Ning Shangfeng spoke, he gestured with a sweep of his hand, and to everyone’s amazement, a Flying Boat flew in from above the sky.

The others had been wondering how they would reach the distant Jade Cauldron Sect since their cultivation levels did not allow them to fly; by the time they reached the sect, how many years would have passed? In that moment, seeing the enormous Flying Boat, they understood.

Ning Shangfeng stepped onto the Flying Boat first, followed closely by the others.

Then Ning Shangfeng inserted spirit stones to activate it, and the Flying Boat lifted off once more, soaring towards the horizon.

Those who had come to see them off could not help but marvel at the Jade Cauldron Sect’s grand gesture.

This Flying Boat was probably worth billions of spirit stones, and even having the money wouldn’t guarantee its purchase; only great sects and big families could possess one. They felt an even greater envy for those who were accepted into the Jade Cauldron Sect.

Riding on the Flying Boat, Desolate Sky City grew smaller and more distant in everyone’s eyes.

Their hearts couldn’t help but feel bitter and melancholic, extremely unwilling to leave. Among the ten of them, including Lin Chen, most had grown up in Desolate Sky City, and the furthest they had ever been was just the Great Flame Capital. Now, they were about to leave their homeland.

In Lin Chen’s heart, however, he wasn’t preoccupied with such thoughts.

Looking into the distance, he thought of his father who had left three months ago.

Officially, Lin Chen’s father, Lin Batian, had gone out to find an elixir to cure Lin Chen’s ailment, but Lin Chen knew this was not the case.

Lin Chen’s father was aware that for the past three years, Lin had been using his spiritual power to help Mu Qingxue open the meridians in her body.

Despite the drain on spiritual power, Lin Batian did not stop Lin Chen’s decision, merely remarking indifferently that a true man was not afraid to strive for love, and sacrificing three years of cultivation was nothing.

Moreover, it was precisely Lin Chen’s actions towards Mu Qingxue that solidified Lin Batian’s determination to do what he should have done sixteen years ago.

Now that Lin Chen was of age, Lin Batian left Desolate Sky City.

Where he went, Lin Batian did not say, but Lin Chen knew for sure that his father was not as simple as he seemed.

Because when Lin Batian left, he did so by soaring into the sky, and the commanding aura he exuded was something Lin Chen could not forget to this day; it was definitely a strength greater than that of Xun Xiangzhou or even Yang Yuemin.

Before he left, Lin Batian told Lin Chen that he was going to look for his mother.

The expression on Lin Batian’s face when he spoke was incredibly serious, as though the mention of his mother was like a great mountain, suggesting that her identity might be far from simple.

Lin Chen was completely in the dark now. His stand-in father and his never-before-seen mother, who exactly were they? All of this was something Lin Chen had to investigate, but the prerequisite for all these investigations was that Lin Chen must possess sufficient strength.

And the Jade Cauldron Sect was the first stop on Lin Chen’s journey to become stronger.
