The Lone Bamboo that Lin Yuan had previously stimulated to grow was a massive nine meters tall, coming very close to growing into a century-old Lone Bamboo.
By then, using the Palm Heaven Bottle green liquid to boost it for another hundred years, a Lone Bamboo approaching six hundred years old serving as the first spirit ring for his Spirit would not be considered bad at all.
When he returned to Notting Academy, following the incident where Yu Xiaogang farted to death a “bandit” who broke into Notting Academy and tried to harm students at the start of the previous semester…
There was now another topic of conversation: Notting Academy’s number one Genius Spirit Master accidentally falling off a cliff to his death.
Wherever he walked, Lin Yuan could hear people discussing this topic.
However, none of this had anything to do with him.
He Cultivated as usual.
In the morning, one hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, one hundred squats, and a ten-kilometer run; in the morning he attended classes normally, and during breaks, he messed around with a few close friends, acting like an ordinary student.
Both afternoon and evening were spent Cultivating, and at night, he buried the Palm Heaven Bottle in an abandoned potted plant to collect the green liquid.
The only difference was that in the afternoon, he would return to the small courtyard at home to Cultivate the hand and foot combat techniques from the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Formula.
Just like that, half a month quickly passed, and Lin Yuan finally mastered the first layer of the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Formula, already able to initially control the power of heavenly thunder.
Furthermore, his Soul Power, just as anticipated, had Cultivated to level nine.
After mastering the first layer of the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Formula, Lin Yuan shifted his focus to Cultivating the Supreme Sacred Universe Skill.
He discovered with surprise that after Cultivating the Supreme Sacred Universe Skill, it did not merge into one with his Lone Bamboo martial soul like the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Formula had previously.
Instead, it gave birth to another incomplete Spirit similar to the one obtained after the Heavenly Dream Iceworm of Douluo II sacrificed itself to Huo Yuhao.
This strange phenomenon filled him with pleasant surprise.
Because this meant he possessed the possibility of obtaining a second Spirit.
Just when Lin Yuan thought days would continue to pass like this day by day, Father Lin and Mother Lin suddenly called him to their side.
“Moving?”
Lin Yuan looked at the two of them in great surprise.
Considering the gradually emerging threat of Transmigrations, although he had also had such thoughts before…
…this house and this herbal medicine shop were, after all, something his parents had built from scratch through hard work in the first half of their lives.
He had originally thought about waiting until he got enough money in the future to relocate them, and then engaging in a battle of wits and courage with those Transmigrators as well as the father-son duo Tang San and Tang Hao.
He never expected that they would bring it up themselves.
Father Lin sighed and said, “That’s right.
Your mother and I have considered this matter for a long time.
Although we are somewhat reluctant to part with it, this is also a helpless move.”
Mother Lin added, “You saw the death of that child Lin Tian, and on top of that, during this period, several different strangers have successively come over to ask about him.”
“I suspect his death was because he touched the interests of certain big shots.
Therefore, for the safety of our family of three, no matter how reluctant we are to leave, we must move away.”
She heavily emphasized the two words ‘interests’.
Lin Yuan knew she was talking about whale glue, but he didn’t expect his mother to actually associate it with this aspect.
Although the conclusion wasn’t correct, having this awareness of prevention—needless to say, she truly deserved to be his mom.
“When are we moving away?” Lin Yuan asked.
Father Lin thought for a moment and said, “Probably in these past two days.
I have already contacted a buyer to transfer this courtyard and this shop.”
“In addition, I’ve already found a courtyard with a shop in another city and negotiated the price.
When the time comes, we will sell this courtyard and shop, get the money, and directly hand over the money for the goods on the spot.”
Mother Lin earnestly said, “Ah Yuan, you have been a person with strong opinions since childhood, so your father and I have always been very reassured about you.”
“But this time it concerns the lives and safety of our entire family, so I didn’t let your father tell anyone about this city.
Similarly, before we arrive there, I won’t tell you either.
I hope you can understand.”
“It’s fine, Mom and Dad.
I will listen to you completely in everything.”
In the current Nuoding City, two Transmigrators had died consecutively.
Although he considered himself to be hiding very well…
…as time went on, it was inevitable that he would slip up.
Being able to leave this place of right and wrong to find a place to quietly develop was naturally extremely good.
Early in the morning three days later, just as the sky was faintly turning light.
Lin Yuan’s family did not alert anyone, only having him leave two letters respectively for Xiao Chenyu’s father and the dean of Notting Academy.
One was for Father Lin’s resignation, and the other was for Lin Yuan’s withdrawal from school.
Both letters expressed apologies to them.
Afterward, they drove a carriage loaded with luggage, left Nuoding City, and came to a city whose name was never mentioned in the original work.
In that place, Father Lin entered a large hotel and continued to work as a guard.
Mother Lin also opened another herbal medicine shop, only changing the name of the shop.
At the same time, she no longer acquired whale glue with great fanfare like before.
She only purchased a piece of relatively good-quality century-old whale glue every month for Lin Yuan to eat.
This way, it wouldn’t arouse suspicion from others.
As for Lin Yuan, because he was about to Breakthrough to level ten.
He did not enter the local Elementary Spirit Master Academy again.
Instead, he worked hard on Cultivating at home every day.
Thinking that after breaking through to level ten, he would look for an Intermediate Spirit Master Academy to study in.
Lin Yuan had already thought of this Intermediate Spirit Master Academy, and that was the Soto Intermediate Soul Master Academy.
It was extremely close to Shrek and extremely far from home.
At that time, while keeping his family away from danger, he could also closely observe the situation regarding Transmigrators.
…
Time flew by, and two months passed.
Under the dual blessing of the Palm Heaven Bottle green liquid and the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Formula, Lin Yuan’s Soul Power finally broke through to level ten.
However, he was not in a hurry to let Father Lin take him back to Zhuling Village to acquire a spirit ring.
Instead, he spent another half a month Cultivating the Supreme Sacred Universe Skill to the first layer, conveniently collecting a drop of green liquid with the Palm Heaven Bottle.
Only then did he inform his parents about his Breakthrough to level ten.
Learning that their son had broken through to level ten so quickly, Father Lin and Mother Lin naturally smiled from ear to ear with joy.
That very evening, Mother Lin prepared a large table of dishes to celebrate for Lin Yuan.
Then early the next morning, Father Lin asked for seven days of leave, unhitched the carriage, and rode a horse taking Lin Yuan back to Zhuling Village.
Originally, Mother Lin wanted to spend money to have Father Lin find a few more Spirit Grandmasters and then make a move together to help Lin Yuan hunt for a century-old spirit ring.
After all, under the nourishment of the whale glue, their son was only seven years and three months old when he broke through to level ten, having already grown into a Genius comparable to an Innate Soul Power rank five, six, or even rank seven.
They definitely couldn’t be like Father Lin, who had to make do with a ten-year spirit ring because no one helped him hunt for one.
However, after Lin Yuan mentioned that he had once discovered a century-old Lone Bamboo in a hidden place on the back mountain of Zhuling Village…
…naturally they wouldn’t take such a big risk to go to the Spirit Hunting Forest anymore.
The father and son traveled by day and camped by night.
After traveling for three days, the father and son finally returned to Zhuling Village.
Following Mother Lin’s instructions, they did not alert anyone.
Instead, they directly parked the horse in a small woods far outside the village, and then hiked to the back mountain on foot.
When he saw that Lone Bamboo approaching five hundred years old, Father Lin was naturally filled with amazement.
Lin Yuan didn’t explain either.
Using the excuse that it was getting late, the two returned to the cave he had previously stayed in to rest.
While Father Lin was asleep, he took out the Palm Heaven Bottle green liquid and dripped it onto the Lone Bamboo.
Only then did he return to the cave, cross his legs, and Cultivate.
