Chapter 154: Chapter 15 Moving

With Lin Yuan’s consent, Pei Shixin nodded and stepped forward.

He uncovered Lin Yuan’s wound and, after applying the golden sore medicine, carefully ground away the Sword Intent from Lin Yuan’s wound.

"Lin Yuan’s martial arts attainment has indeed reached such a realm." In truth, Pei Shixin’s act of removing the Sword Intent was a guise, his actual intention was to probe Lin Yuan’s true level of cultivation.

However, his intentions had long been perceived by Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan controlled his internal energy to conceal it within the Dantian, not letting it traverse throughout his body. Therefore, under Lin Yuan’s deliberate disguise, Pei Shixin’s search for details would inevitably yield little.

Still, even so, Pei Shixin was astonished by Lin Yuan’s martial arts cultivation.

"Master Lin is indeed a genius." Once the healing was complete, Pei Shixin praised.

Just now, he had carefully observed the amount of energy circulating around Lin Yuan’s meridians near the wound, which surprisingly wasn’t much inferior to his own.

How much effort had he invested in the Qi-Blood stage to temper and refine Qi-Blood? It took cultivating three top-tier Qi-Blood techniques before he could begin to break through to the Condensing Yuan realm.

But Lin Yuan? In merely half a year since entering the academy, he broke through to the fourth grade of Condensing Yuan, which is truly astonishing.

"Yet it is somewhat regrettable. Lin Yuan, with such a talent for martial arts, did not refine the Qi-Blood in the Qi-Blood stage carefully, nor did he build a solid martial foundation. Consuming too many pills is simply hastening growth. His martial realm in this lifetime might just end at the mid Condensing Yuan stage." Pei Shixin mused for a moment, shaking his head inwardly.

"But perhaps it’s just as well, his true talent lies in Alchemy. Without higher power, it fits perfectly for our Pei Family’s use, making it easier to control him."

Pei Shixin’s mind spun rapidly, and seeing Lin Yuan’s wife attending to re-bandaging his wound, he said, "Master Lin, the current situation in Yanghua is quite chaotic, with a blizzard ravaging earlier and creating many refugees, the West River Alliance now rises amid the turmoil, making both the martial hall and your residence rather unsafe."

"Indeed," Lin Yuan nodded, "The signs were already at Huai River Dock, but I didn’t expect it to spread so wide, even involving my master’s martial hall."

"In fact, my purpose here is twofold, to rescue Master Lin, and also to have arranged a residence for Master Lin within our Pei Family Garden, thereby eliminating the security risks."

"Hence, I dare to ask Master Lin to relocate to our Pei Family Garden."

Pei Shixin’s gaze was sincere, his expression enthusiastic.

"Then I must thank the Family Head and thank Young Master Pei."

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan nodded in agreement.

Entering the Pei Family, although Zhu Lingshan becomes subject to the Pei Family’s control, so far, the Pei Family has shown little malintent toward him.

Pei Shixin’s attitude also indicated genuine invitation into the Pei Family. After all, his skill in Alchemy is far superior to that of ordinary pill masters.

*************

Lin Yuan’s small residence.

At the courtyard gate, Lin Yuan, Zhu Lingshan stood on the steps, looking towards the courtyard.

Xiaoyun looked again at each furnishing within the courtyard, her eyes showing much reluctance.

Creak.

Gently closing the gate and securing the copper lock, she then reluctantly turned to leave.

"Let’s go!"

Lin Yuan gently reached out and rubbed Xiaoyun’s hair.

"It won’t be long before we return here, I promise you!" Seeing Xiaoyun’s reddening eyes, Lin Yuan said softly.

This courtyard, although the three of them had lived here for only a few months, its furnishings and arrangement had taken much effort, with Zhu Lingshan and Xiaoyun investing a lot of thought.

Among the three, Xiaoyun loved the courtyard the most, so her reluctance to leave today was quite normal.

Xiaoyun looked up at Lin Yuan, seeing his calm gaze and the reassuring gleam in his eyes.

Xiaoyun couldn’t help but nod.

The group wordlessly got into a carriage amid wind and snow, driving toward the Pei Family Garden with the moving convoy.

************

The laborious tasks of moving and arranging possessions need not be said, naturally handled by Zhu Lingshan and Xiaoyun.

They also took the trouble to bring Zhu Jiyi closer to ensure the old man could heal his injuries in peace.

As for the affairs within the martial hall, after such chaos, the damage was extensive, so the disciples with homes returned to theirs, while those without stayed temporarily at the martial hall, waiting to practice again after repairs were complete.

The layout of the new residence was not too different from Lin Yuan’s previous small dwelling, both were three-entrance houses, but much larger in scale.

In the meantime, even the third elder of the Pei Family made a special visit, indicating the Pei Family’s great welcome for Lin Yuan’s arrival. The third elder also explained that the Family Head was delayed by other matters and would invite Lin Yuan for a meeting as soon as those were handled.

To this, Lin Yuan naturally expressed understanding. With such a disparity in status, having an elder with real power visit personally was already a great respect, not to mention anything more.

After the third elder departed, other members and power-holders from the Pei family’s branch families came to visit Lin Yuan, bringing many congratulatory gifts and supplements.

These individuals knew well of Lin Yuan’s highly esteemed skill in Alchemy, and with the Family Head and third elder harboring such regard, they naturally understood Lin Yuan’s future significance. Thus, they took the opportunity of Lin Yuan moving into his new home to establish a relationship with him.

It wasn’t until three days later that Lin Yuan’s residence finally found peace.

That night, Lin Yuan’s quiet room.

The quiet room was over five times larger than that of the small dwelling. In addition to the Pill Furnace and herbal materials needed for Alchemy, it had walls made of special materials capable of sealing off the energy emitted from the training ground, preventing it from being perceived by others.

Lin Yuan now sat cross-legged on the training field of the quiet room.

By now, the injuries on his body bore no issues, and he was quietly experiencing the accumulation of Qi-Blood within his body.

Even while physically injured, he outwardly appeared to still be concocting pills for the Pei Family. Therefore, though the daily pills he concocted were not as numerous as in Beiqing Hall, they sufficed for his daily cultivation needs.

"Above all things is the absence of self." Lin Yuan held the ring blade, carefully sensing the flow of energy within it.

His spiritual soul seemed to connect with the invisible ring blade, ceaselessly feeling the connection between the two.

"The essence of the martial world is truly too mysterious." Lin Yuan felt his spiritual soul as if it were expanding, continually drifting towards the void.

"Had it been me casting the long blade that day, I’d have surely pierced Hong Wenli’s back, causing her demise on the spot." With a flash of coldness in his eyes, he recalled the method Pei Shixin used to throw the long blade, feeling that his soul was incessantly shaking his head.

Pei Shixin’s technique was too coarse, merely infusing energy without channeling or protecting the long blade with intent. Otherwise, the blade’s speed could have been elevated to another level, defeating Hong Wenli with ease.

"I wonder, can intent extend further? Or perhaps?" At this thought, Lin Yuan suddenly conceived a daring idea.

His internal intent seemed like a plume of blue smoke, continuously rising into the void.

Though Lin Yuan’s eyes remained closed, he felt as if his soul was emerging from his body.

"So cold!" Lin Yuan suddenly felt a chill.

As a martial artist, he hadn’t felt such a sensation for a very long time. Yet with his martial intent continually stretching upward, he seemed to experience a penetrating chill.

"But I can still bear it, let me try further." Lin Yuan forcibly endured, concurrently feeling a bit excited.

His intent seemed to persist, extending further towards the roof.

Three feet.

Two feet.

One foot.

In an instant, the intent pierced through the roof.

"What is this?"

Lin Yuan’s expression suddenly changed.
