Chapter 109: Anything is Possible
“Alright, I’ve said everything I needed to say! You think it over yourself; I’m going to comfort my sister and prevent her from overthinking.”
After Chen Qianxu revealed the truth, he let out a sigh of relief and left the room.
Lin Feng sat alone on the sofa, his mind racing.
He felt both surprised and confused.
The surprise was that his parents were still alive; the confusion was about who that mysterious person was.
The fact that even the Chen family couldn’t uncover the identity of the mysterious person proved that this individual’s background was likely unfathomable.
Lin Feng began to recall events from his childhood.
In his memories, his parents were ordinary workers, diligently raising him and his sister without ever showing any signs of being special!
Thus, he found it hard to believe that his parents had any background at all!
“Could that mysterious person be the old man?”
A possibility crossed Lin Feng’s mind!
But soon, he dismissed this guess.
Given the old man’s view of the world as mere ants and his singular focus on breaking free from the shackles of the universe to become an immortal, how could he possibly save his parents?
Even if the old man had a change of heart and saved his parents, where were they now?
Surely the old man wouldn’t have locked them away somewhere, forcing them to cultivate immortality?
That was clearly impossible!
Because the old man was already dead; Lin Feng had personally buried him, and by now, the grass on his grave must have grown quite tall!
“Right! The ashes…”
Lin Feng’s mind sparked; this might be a breakthrough clue.
With that thought, he immediately returned to the next room.
In the adjacent room, Chen Qianxu and Chen Yinuo were whispering to each other, while his sister was watching Peppa Pig with little Lianlian, both of them giggling.
“Xiaoyao, come here for a moment.”
Lin Feng called his sister outside.
“Brother, what’s up? I’m watching cartoons with my niece!” Lin Yunyao replied, puzzled.
Lin Feng grabbed his sister’s shoulders, his expression serious as he said, “Xiaoyao, what would you think if I told you our parents are not dead?”
Lin Yunyao was taken aback but quickly shook her head, saying, “Brother… don’t joke about this.”
“I’m serious!” Lin Feng recounted everything Chen Qianxu had told him.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yunyao’s heart was in turmoil, both shocked and delighted. In no time, her eyes turned red.
The death of their parents was a pain that could never be erased from her heart, a suffering that had accompanied her throughout her youth.
Now that she learned their parents might still be alive, the complex emotions were hard to articulate, making her nose tingle and tears well up.
At that moment, Lin Feng said solemnly, “Xiaoyao, do you remember who gave you our parents’ ashes?”
Lin Yunyao rubbed her sore eyes, thinking for a moment before replying, “I was only ten at the time, and I can’t remember many details! I just know it was a man in black clothes, probably in his thirties, about one meter eighty tall…”
Lin Feng frowned at her description.
The characteristics she mentioned were too generic; one could find thousands of people like that on the street, making it an ineffective clue.
“Right! That person seemed to be a cripple, walking with a limp,” Lin Yunyao suddenly added.
Lin Feng nodded but sighed inwardly.
Ten years!
That was a long time; trying to find such a person now was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Most importantly, what was the purpose of that person’s actions?
Was it merely to prove that their parents were dead, so that his young sister wouldn’t go looking for them?
“Brother… if our parents really aren’t dead, why haven’t they come back to find us? You were locked away to cultivate immortality; could it be that our parents are too?”
Lin Yunyao suddenly asked.
“That’s hard to say; anything is possible! What is certain is that if our parents are alive, they must be restricted in their freedom; otherwise, they would never abandon us,” Lin Feng replied.
“Can we still find our parents?” Lin Yunyao looked at her brother with hope.
“We will! We definitely will!” Lin Feng answered earnestly.
After talking for a while, both siblings felt a surge of excitement.
Regardless, this was good news, at least giving them both a glimmer of hope.
At that moment, Lin Feng suddenly remembered the Spirit Swallowing Technique he had found from the Old Man of the Withered Heart, and said, “Xiaoyao, I’ve been saying I would teach you how to cultivate immortality; do you remember?”
“Can I really cultivate?” Lin Yunyao asked nervously.
“Of course! I’ve already seen your talent; while it’s not exceptional, it’s not bad either… As long as you practice diligently, you might become a Golden Core or even a Nascent Soul cultivator in the future.”
With that, Lin Feng pressed his finger against his sister’s forehead.
Lin Yunyao felt a tingling sensation on her forehead, which was quite pleasant.
When she came to her senses, she found dozens of lines of text suddenly appearing in her mind.
Spirit Swallowing Technique!
An introductory breathing technique for the cultivation world!
It can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, refine meridians and blood, undergo a transformation, shed the mortal body, and embark on the supreme path of immortality.
“Brother, what is this?” Lin Yunyao was somewhat shocked.
“A low-level breathing technique! Use this for now; when I find something better later, I’ll switch it out for you!” Lin Feng said, then took out three spirit stones from his bag and handed them to his sister, saying, “Here are three spirit stones. You don’t have any sense of qi right now, but when you practice, hold these spirit stones in your hand; it will make things much easier!”
“When you can feel the flow of qi in your meridians, you must remember to tell me! I’ll find a way to refine your body again.”
“These spirit stones must be very expensive, right?” Lin Yunyao looked at the spirit stones in her hand and whispered.
“Not exactly expensive, just rare; they’re worth a little over a hundred million, but they’re hard to come by,” Lin Feng shook his head.
Lin Yunyao bit her lip lightly, her eyes slightly red as she said, “Brother, you’re so good to me.”
“You really are a crybaby now. If I don’t treat you well, who else will I treat well?” Lin Feng said helplessly.
“Brother, I will definitely work hard to cultivate and not let you down. Once I succeed, I will protect you!” Lin Yunyao clenched her fists and said earnestly.
Lin Feng rubbed his sister’s head without saying anything.
Having aspirations is naturally a good thing.
But he knew it was impossible because his sister could never surpass him.
Just then, Lin Feng noticed his phone ringing.
He looked at the caller ID and found it was Ye Tianxin, the Bloodhand Butcher, calling.
Previously, he had sent Ye Tianxin to inquire about the Chen family, and it seemed he had returned.
“Xiaoyao, you go back to your room first; I need to take a call,” Lin Feng instructed his sister before walking to a corner to answer the phone.
As soon as he picked up, Ye Tianxin’s slightly urgent voice came through, “Lin Shao.”
“What’s wrong?” Lin Feng frowned.
“Lin Shao, you asked me to investigate the Chen family’s strength; I’ve found out some details.”
“The Chen family ranks among the top three martial arts families in the entire Yun Chuan province! On the surface, there are no less than twenty martial artists in the Chen family, with at least eight in the innate realm. The Chen family’s ancestor, Chen Beixuan, was already at the eighth level of the innate realm five years ago, and he is likely at the ninth level now!”
Ye Tianxin spoke quickly, but his voice grew lower and weaker, sounding as if he could collapse at any moment.
“Have you encountered some trouble?” Lin Feng asked.
“Lin Shao, I’m… I’m sorry, but I… might not make it back. The ones trying to kill me are from the Wang family in Jinghang City; they wiped out my entire clan and have now come to Yun Chuan to hunt me down!”
“Lin Shao, if that day comes, please avenge me, avenge the one hundred thirty-seven members of the Ye family!”
“I’ve been ruthless… I’ve been so ruthless, but even after crazily consuming human blood and practicing demonic arts for over twenty years, I still feel so powerless.”
Ye Tianxin spoke each word with great difficulty.
