Chapter 53: Rebirth Pill, Preparing to Relocate!
Lin Fan said, "I want to bring Lin Dong with me to participate in the Symbol Master Association's Tower Battle."
The reason Lin Fan made this request was because of the benefits the Symbol Master Tower provided.
Breaking through its trials greatly enhanced spiritual power.
This was originally an opportunity meant for Lin Dong, and Lin Fan didn't want him to miss it.
As for the Ancestral Symbol map, Lin Fan no longer considered it particularly important.
"Heh, back then I invited you to join the Tower Battle, and you were all hesitant, trying to bargain with me. Now you're the one asking to bring your brother along?"
Master Yan laughed teasingly at Lin Fan's request, neither agreeing nor refusing outright.
"Brother Lin Fan, what's this Tower Battle about?"
Lin Dong asked curiously from the side.
Lin Fan looked at Master Yan and said, "Better to let Master Yan explain it to you."
Master Yan didn't refuse. With a smile, he explained the details of the Tower Battle to Lin Dong.
After finishing, he added with a chuckle, "Now you understand why your brother wants you to take part? For symbol masters, the Tower Battle is actually a generous opportunity."
Lin Dong's eyes lit up, and he cupped his hands. "Many thanks to Master Yan for the explanation."
At the same time, he felt even more gratitude toward Lin Fan in his heart.
Lin Fan smiled. "Master Yan, let's stop beating around the bush. Can you agree to this request of mine?"
Master Yan's gaze flickered. "Back then, you promised to help me break through to the Spirit Symbol Master level within five years. Does that promise still stand?"
At first, Master Yan hadn't believed much in Lin Fan's bold claim. But now, it hadn't even been that long, and Lin Fan was already a Third Seal Symbol Master.
His confidence in Lin Fan had grown considerably.
"Of course it still stands," Lin Fan said firmly, without hesitation.
Master Yan smiled. "Then I'll grant your small request."
"Thank you, Master Yan," Lin Dong said, bowing respectfully. He then turned to Lin Fan and added, "Thanks, Brother Lin Fan!"
Lin Fan patted Lin Dong on the shoulder and chuckled. "No need for thanks between brothers."
Just then, a familiar voice echoed in Lin Fan's mind.
[Ding! You patted Lin Dong and obtained a Rebirth Pill! Note: Upon consumption, this pill allows an ordinary person to undergo complete transformation, drastically improving their cultivation aptitude!]
A Rebirth Pill?
Hearing the name and its effects, Lin Fan's heart stirred. His first thought was of his Third Aunt, Liu Yan.
From the age of six, Lin Fan had lived with Lin Xiao's family. Of everyone, it was Third Aunt Liu Yan who had cared for him the most.
Liu Yan had no cultivation aptitude of her own. So even with the Lin family's current wealth of resources, she couldn't set foot on the cultivation path or extend her lifespan.
But perhaps… this Rebirth Pill would change that.
Still, this wasn't the right moment to bring it out.
Lin Dong didn't say anything more, but in his heart, he made a note of Lin Fan's deep bond.
After chatting a while longer, Xuan Su asked Lin Fan and Lin Dong, "So, when do you two plan to return to Yan City?"
Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "It's been a while since we've been home, so we plan to stay a few more days. If Chief Steward Su and Master Yan have urgent matters, please feel free to return ahead of us."
Xuan Su's eyes sparkled slightly. With a smile, she said, "Qingyang Town is nice, but it doesn't compare to Yan City in many ways."
"Now that the Blood-Clothed Gate's main experts have been wiped out by you, if the Lin family is interested, our Ten Thousand Gold Chamber can support you in taking over the Gate's assets in Yan City."
Master Yan chimed in with a grin. "In Yan City, old powers fall and new ones rise all the time. It's quite normal for newcomers to inherit the assets of fallen forces."
"If your Lin family is interested, the Symbol Master Association is also willing to support your establishment in Yan City."
Hearing this, Lin Zhentian was clearly moved.
But he knew very well all of this was because of Lin Fan, so he didn't speak impulsively and waited for Lin Fan's decision.
Lin Fan pondered briefly, then said, "Three days from now, our Lin family will move our headquarters to Yan City."
"As for the Blood-Clothed Gate's assets—if the Blood Wolf Gang wants them, they can have them. We only want the Gate's original base of operations."
For now, Lin Fan didn't want to completely provoke the Blood Wolf Gang, so he chose to take a step back.
After all, it wouldn't be long before the Blood Wolf Gang ceased to exist anyway.
Once they were destroyed, the Lin family would reclaim the Gate's assets—and the Blood Wolf Gang's as well.
For now, the Blood Wolf Gang could just hold onto them for safekeeping.
Xuan Su's smile brightened. "In that case, the Blood Wolf Gang will definitely be very cooperative."
Master Yan nodded too, further impressed by Lin Fan's calm and far-sighted mindset.
After a few more polite exchanges, Xuan Su and Master Yan took their leave.
There were still many matters awaiting Xuan Su at the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber—especially with the Immortal Pool contest drawing near.
Master Yan didn't have urgent matters, but he preferred the comfort of home and didn't stay long.
After they left, Lin Fan turned to Lin Zhentian and said,
"Grandfather, I made the decision for our family to move to Yan City—hope you're not upset with me?"
Lin Zhentian laughed. "Why would I be upset? Moving to Yan City is an excellent opportunity for our family's growth. I couldn't hope for more."
Lin Fan nodded slightly. "If we want the Lin family to grow strong, we can't remain trapped in this small place forever."
"Still, we can't completely abandon Qingyang Town yet—at least not until the Yang Yuan Stone mine is fully excavated. We need to keep a garrison at Ironwood Manor."
Lin Zhentian smiled and asked, "Do you have anyone in mind?"
Lin Fan thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Lin Xiao is steady and capable. Let's have him lead a team to guard Ironwood Manor. He should also be assigned elite guards to command."
"After the examples made of the Blood-Clothed Gate and the Xie family, I doubt any other factions in Qingyang Town would dare stir up trouble."
Lin Zhentian nodded. "I plan to have both your Uncle and Second Uncle stay behind. They can support each other. As for the rest of the family's core members, they'll move to Yan City."
Lin Fan nodded. "That works well."
"Alright then, I'll go speak with them now and start making arrangements for the relocation."
With Lin Fan's agreement, Lin Zhentian left to handle the preparations.
Over the next three days, the Lin family began getting everything in order for their move.
Lin Fan, during that time, found his Third Aunt Liu Yan and gave her the Rebirth Pill.
After taking the pill, Liu Yan indeed gained excellent cultivation aptitude, skipping the beginner stage entirely and reaching the peak of the Fifth Body Tempering level.
She only needed to form a Yuan Power seed to break through to the sixth level.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
With all preparations complete, Lin Fan and the rest of the Lin family once again set off—this time toward Yan City.
