After communicating with other Lin family members for a long time, Lin Chen returned to the house where he lived.
This house has changed a lot compared to ten years ago, but Lin Chen didn't feel emotional about it.
After all, for Lin Chen, places with people are meaningful. What is there to miss in places without people?
"Uh, Master, the place is here, then I..." the servant who led Lin Chen here said with some fear.
Lin Chen nodded and said lightly, "Okay, please step back first!"
"Yes, yes." The servant quickly lowered his head in response, and then ran away as quickly as if he was running for his life.
"Am I so scary?" Lin Chen was a little confused, but he didn't think much about it and went straight back to the courtyard.
Lin Chen scanned the courtyard with his spiritual sense, snapped his fingers, and destroyed all surveillance methods. Then he sat alone in the courtyard, with his hands folded across his chest, and his eyes were somewhat gloomy.
From this day's encounter, he was certain of one thing.
"There's something wrong with this ancestor of the Lin family!"
Perhaps other monks in the foundation-building stage sensed that the ancestor of the Lin family was full of twilight energy and was not far from death.
But Lin Chen, who has been dealing with experimental subjects for many years and has studied auras for a period of time, believes that this is not far from death. It should be half a foot in the coffin and only one breath left!
The twilight aura exuded by the ancestor of the Lin family is mixed with a deeply hidden but very strong death aura!
According to Lin Chen's inference, the ancestor of the Lin family should be lying on the bed, breathing his last breath, instead of being able to communicate with him normally like nothing happened!
"Could it be that I took some kind of life-extending spiritual substance?" Lin Chen frowned, but felt something was wrong.
Not to mention how precious life-extending spiritual objects are, even in the Qingyun Sect, they are rare. How can the ancestors of the Lin family obtain them?
Even if there is a chance to obtain a life-extending spiritual object, the physical condition should not be like this.
Lin Chen was lucky enough to see a life-extending spiritual object in the sect. It exuded a vigorous and upward vitality like the rising sun, and those who took it could remove the dead energy from the body and extend their lifespan.
However, the death energy in the ancestor of the Lin family has not diminished at all, but can still maintain the appearance of a living person, and is filled with a strange vitality.
This kind of vitality is like a corpse that has been dead for many years, but it is still lifelike, as weird as when it was alive!
"Forget it, I don't care what happens to him. Anyway, this is the last time I come back. And it's still unclear whether the Lin family can survive in the future?"
Lin Chen shook his head, put this matter behind him, and began to think about another thing.
Through this half-day of communication and using his soul to influence, he had learned the news he wanted.
The Lin family's skills, spiritual weapons, elixirs, and other spiritual objects that have reached the foundation-building stage are kept by the foundation-building ancestor, while other spiritual objects are looked after by the powerful elders of the Qi-refining stage.
"And the guardian formations in these places use blood to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. In addition, my soul is close to the foundation building stage, so I can completely control those elders mentally... Ha!"
Lin Chen smiled coldly. He came back not to participate in some Jiangcheng competition, but to inherit the family business!
Thinking of this, he looked towards the west. At this moment, the sun was setting and the sky was filled with sunset.
…
As time passed, it soon came to midnight.
The sky was pitch black, with no stars or moon visible.
In the Lin family at night, most of the lights have been extinguished, leaving only the night pearls on the street lamps and the formations in various important areas of the Lin family still shining.
In a small courtyard, in the darkness, Lin Chen, who was taking a nap, opened his bright eyes.
"It's time." Lin Chen murmured, then stood up straight away.
He took out a corpse from the storage bag. The corpse had a ruddy complexion and was lifelike. The most important thing was that the face looked like Lin Chen!
This object is the [flesh and blood substitute] recently developed by Lin Chen.
In a previous experiment, he accidentally cultivated a unique blood voodoo.
If the blood Gu is fed with his own flesh and blood, after it grows, it will parasitize into the corpse and provide enough nutrients, it will not only restore life to the corpse, but also bring Lin Chen's aura, and he can even This is to control this corpse.
Based on this effect, Lin Chen initially developed the [Flesh and Blood Substitute].
Not only can it help explore dangerous situations, it can also be used to attract attention and give Lin Chen time to escape.
As for why it looks like him, it's just a mask made by Lin Chen.
"It's a pity that I can only control it simply, but I can't have the ability to clone myself. Otherwise, I can control things remotely without having to do it myself..." Lin Chen sighed lightly, but quickly corrected his mentality.
He placed the flesh and blood substitute in the room, and then sneaked out silently.
Not long after, Lin Chen quietly appeared in the darkness outside the Lin family's ancestral hall, which was also the retreat place for the ancestors of the Lin family.
The only person who will hinder him in this operation is the ancestor of the Lin family, so Lin Chen must control his movements.
Thinking of this, he took out a jade bottle and opened it, only to see a very tiny blood poison that was not easily detectable by the naked eye flying out of it and then flew into the ancestral hall.
This blood Gu is also the one he used to make flesh and blood substitutes.
Cultivated with Lin Chen's blood, they can become Lin Chen's eyes and ears to a certain extent, used to monitor others.
And because it relies on Lin Chen's flesh and blood to grow, he can also use psychological invisibility techniques on him to make the foundation-building monks subconsciously ignore them.
The blood Gu flew into the ancestral hall, and under Lin Chen's control, he carefully avoided the detection aura of the formation, and then followed the monks patrolling nearby and successfully sneaked into the depths.
He followed the breath and flew into the basement. Soon, Lin Chen "saw" the existence of the ancestor of the Lin family.
The other party was sitting cross-legged on the ground, eyes slightly closed, as if taking a nap.
"Act!" Seeing this scene, Lin Chen started to take action without hesitation.
Soon, the place where the Lin family stored their skills, spiritual stones, and spiritual objects was visited by Lin Chen.
The formations in these places were used to defend against external foundation building, and the elders in the Qi Refining Stage were used to prevent their own clan members from stealing from them. They did not expect that people from their own clan who had a soul level close to the foundation building stage would come.
After all, clansmen with this level of strength are the top leaders in the family. They can just tell them what they want, and there is no need to come and get it.
So Lin Chen was in a deserted place!
"Another good harvest..." Lin Chen counted the harvest, with a smile on his face.
The Lin family's accumulation over the years, even though they have consumed a lot recently, still has tens of thousands of spiritual stones, a large number of spiritual objects, and hundreds of exercises.
As for elixirs, spiritual weapons, spiritual talismans, etc., Lin Chen doesn't like them, and if he takes them all, the ancestors of the Lin family may catch up without them, which will be troublesome for you.
"In this way, we not only inherit the family business, but also avoid the risk of facing the foundation building period in a few days. The goal is achieved, so without further ado, let's leave tonight!"
Lin Chen returned to the house where he once lived, took a look, and then stepped out without any nostalgia.
However, when he was leading him to recover the blood Gu used to imprison the ancestor of the Lin family, he was suddenly startled.
Because at some point, the ancestor of the Lin family activated the formation in the ancestral hall, sealing off the inside and outside.
And according to Lin Chen's induction, a second foundation-building monk appeared in the room where the other party was!
It was a monk dressed in black, and his whole body was filled with scarlet blood under the induction!
At this moment, in the room.
"Is this room safe?" the black-clothed blood cultivator asked.
"Don't worry, as soon as you came in, I activated the formation to seal off the inside and outside. No one can sneak in at this time without my knowledge." The ancestor of the Lin family said calmly.
"That's good...how are you preparing the Blood Demon Altar?" the black-clothed blood cultivator continued to ask.
"It's been made, but what do I want?" the ancestor of the Lin family asked.
"Jiejie, don't worry, at least wait for me to handle it first. You can prepare the materials first." The black-clothed Xue Cultivator said.
"I have prepared the materials." The ancestor of the Lin family said expressionlessly.
"Oh? Just like the battle ten years ago, under the pretext of war, a group of tribesmen were actually secretly captured as materials for refining the [Blood Yuan Life Extension Pill]?" the black-clothed blood cultivator asked with interest.
"This is none of your business, you just need to..." the ancestor of the Lin family said coldly.
On the other side, Lin Chen, who was monitoring, shrank his pupils.
Ten years ago, there was a war, the tribesmen were refining [Blood Yuan Life Extension Pill]...
Ten years ago, Lin Tianhang lost power in the Qingyun Sect, and the momentum that the Lin family had developed due to it was knocked down. In addition, during the process of rising, it offended many forces, so it ushered in liquidation.
Although it was said that the Qingyun Sect's Jindan Patriarch came forward to help prevent it from turning into a war that exterminated the entire clan, the Lin family still suffered heavy casualties.
Among them, Lin Chen's parents died in this battle, and Lin Tianhang's father was also seriously injured in this battle, his cultivation was completely damaged, and he later contracted a serious illness and died.
Lin Chen just wanted to save the face of his original parents, so he, who was always rational, came back to swim in the muddy waters of Jiangcheng to see if there was anyone in the Lin family worth saving.
If you have any, just help. If not, forget it. In the process, you can inherit the family property and replenish the recent consumption of spiritual stones.
But now listening to the description of the ancestor of the Lin family, it was not the case back then.
They were not killed in battle, but were captured by the ancestors of the Lin family and used to refine one——
Life extension blood pill? !
The impact of this news made Lin Chen lose consciousness for a moment!
But Lin Chen took a deep breath and quickly regained his composure.
On the other side, the conversation between the two was coming to an end.
"Very good. This is [Blood Demon's Yuan], you put it into the altar..." The black-clothed blood cultivator said while taking out a piece of blood-colored jade from the storage bag.
The blood jade is crystal clear, and in the center is a drop of purple-red blood that exudes a strange light!
Even though Lin Chen was watching from a distance, when he sensed this drop of blood, his body's instincts actually issued an endless desire at this moment.
Eat it! Eat it! By eating it, your body will become perfect and your life essence will evolve!
This is a desire derived from the instinct of life to make up for one's own shortcomings and pursue a higher level!
Lin Chen's eyes narrowed and he used his will to suppress it without hesitation.
But after he came to his senses, he heard the room where the blood Gu was listening suddenly become silent.
what's the situation?
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then seemed to realize something, and his expression changed slightly.
The blood Gu he sent in was not a puppet, nor his clone, but a creature contaminated by his aura!
What the black-clothed blood cultivator suddenly took out just now has a fatal attraction to living beings.
Lin Chen could suppress it with willpower, but the blood poison itself couldn't do it since it had no consciousness.
Although he can also suppress his body's instincts remotely, the problem is that in order to suppress his body's instincts just now, he couldn't take care of both sides at the same time.
So this caused the blood Gu's vitality to leak out. In other words, he was exposed!
After a while, I heard a cold voice coming from the other side:
"Oh? Did you invite another guest tonight?"
