Chapter 474: Chapter 439: Meeting Old Friends Again_2

Translator: 549690339

Such an enormous cultivation growth resulted from He Song’s persistent efforts in cultivation.

During this time, He Song might have had a few leisurely moments, but most of these were spent inside the Immortal Pavilion or Immortal City.

It was a truly unprecedented experience for He Song to spend a whole half-month at leisure in the mortal world.

Because of this, after deciding to stay in the Lin family for half a month, He Song began to enjoy daily leisure time in the mortal world.

As time continually passed,

the members of the Lin family scattered outside eventually returned one after another.

The Lin family ancestral home became lively once again.

At the end of the half-month,

All the members of the Lin family had gathered in their ancestral home.

After the half-month,

The Lin family ancestral home.

Everyone had packed their belongings and, led by the eldest elderly Lin family member, they stood quietly before He Song.

“Board the flying boat and set off.”

Gazing at over a hundred people belonging to the large Lin family, He Song’s eyes showed no emotion, he merely waved his hand, and the White Jade Boat flew out from his sleeve, quietly floating in mid-air.

Following He Song’s order, the Lin family members quickly boarded the White Jade Boat.

Once He Song drove the White Jade Boat into the sky and headed towards the distance,

The Lin family members on the White Jade Boat looked back to where their ancestral home stood with a complex expression in their eyes.

This ancestral home,

probably couldn’t be returned to ever again.

He Song had told them before.

This place would soon become a battlefield for cultivators, filled with bloodshed and suffering.

That’s why he rushed here to bring them tens of thousands of miles away to the influence of another powerful sect.

Only by being at such a distance would the mortal people living in the mortal world be unaffected by the war between cultivators.

They knew in their heart that once they left, they would most likely be parting forever.

All at once, the Lin family members were flooded with melancholy.

However, this quickly changed.

As the speed of the White Jade Boat increased rapidly and the small town quickly disappeared from their sight, they soon regained their composure.

He Song was not good at expressing his feelings,

and he didn’t have much affection for the Lin family members.

He came to this place and took the people away out of gratitude for Lin Cong.

Thus, during these days, although living within the Lin family, He Song had very little interaction with the family members.

The Lin family held deep reverence for He Song.

The flying boat soon quieted down.

It wasn’t until…

Several days later,

He Song maneuvered the White Jade Boat with the more than one hundred Lin family members onboard, crossing Thick Earth Sect’s territory, bypassing Jade Flower Sect’s territory, and finally entering Sun Faction’s territory.

Only then did He Song’s tense mind slightly relax.

The Righteous and Demonic Great War was raging fiercely, with the Thick Earth Sect and several surrounding Golden Core Sects on the brink of war.

He Song, being cautious on his journey, soon felt slightly relieved when they entered Sun Faction’s territory, distancing themselves far from the battlefield of the Righteous and Demonic Great War. Only then did he turn his attention to the Lin family members on the White Jade Boat.

All the Lin family members lacked Spirit Roots.

He Song had speculated about this since arriving at the Lin family and not seeing any cultivators there.

When Lin Cong was still alive, He Song had given him two jade slips.

One contained a cultivation skill that allowed one to successfully introduce Qi if they possessed a Spirit Root.

The other contained a few shallow Spirit Puppet Skills for self-defense purposes.

Under such circumstances, those in the Lin family with Spirit Roots, as long as they had contact with the jade slip containing the cultivation skill, could successfully introduce Qi and become a true cultivator.

However, when He Song came to the Lin family, he did not see any cultivators nor any traces of spirit puppet existence.

All of these signs indicated that despite spreading out their branches and leaves and growing to have more than a hundred members over the years, none of the Lin family members had Spirit Roots.

But there was still no one with a Spirit Root among them.

He Song sighed as his gaze swept over the people of the Lin family, sitting or standing on the White Jade Boat.

The gap between mortals and cultivators.

It was indeed vast.

Just the two words, Spirit Root, were enough to make countless mortals sigh in despair, unable to do anything.

The more than a hundred people of the Lin family before him were just like that.

However.

Just as He Song thought that there was no one with a Spirit Root among the more than a hundred people before him while continuing to control the White Jade Boat to move forward, a sound-transmitting paper crane flew straight toward him from a distance.

Seeing this, He Song casually opened his hand, releasing his own Qi aura to take the sound-transmitting paper crane in hand.

As the paper crane encountered He Song’s Qi, it turned into a thin sheet of paper covered in dense, tiny writing.

As He Song’s eyes were drawn to the words on the paper in his hand, suppressed exclamations of surprise rang out on the White Jade Boat.

It seemed they were startled by the arrival of the paper crane and the scene of He Song casually taking it in his hand.

The members of the Lin family, who had been sitting or standing on the boat, all stood up one after another.

It was not until a knowledgeable elder of the clan scolded them softly that they all sat down, but they kept looking towards He Song with curiosity.

As for He Song, he didn’t seem to mind their gazes.

Rather, it was the information on the thin sheet of paper in his hand that made him thoughtful.

The sound-transmitting paper crane was sent by Su Qian.

What she had written in the message also made He Song slightly interested.

“Qian’er pays respects to Sir.”

“May Sir live forever.”

“I heard some time ago that Sir would be returning from a distant place to bring the descendants of his old friend to the Sun Faction. I happen to know a good place for that.”

“A few years ago, I took in a disciple named An Ning. Her family, the An Family, is considered an aristocratic family in the mortal world, and they live not far from Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.”

“If Sir doesn’t mind, he could leave this matter to An Ning. She will definitely handle it properly and without any problems.”

“As my disciple, An Ning already has a fourth-tier Qi Refining cultivation, and her word carries great influence in her family. If she speaks up, this matter will definitely be taken care of.”

“Moreover, An Ning has always heard about Sir but has never had the chance to meet him.”

“If she could see Sir this time, it would also be a blessing for An Ning.”

“Qian’er.”

He Song’s eyes scanned the delicate handwriting in the letter, and he glanced at the Lin family members on the boat with a thoughtful gaze.

An Ning.

He had never seen her, and before Su Qian mentioned her, he hadn’t even heard of her.

But considering she was a disciple of Su Qian, she must also know about his identity.

He believed that as Su Qian’s disciple, An Ning would not deceive him in any way.

Moreover, An Ning, who was only at the fourth-tier of Qi Refining, had powerful influence in her own family. The An family might only be an aristocratic family in the mortal world, but they were not on the same level as a true cultivating family.

In this case, all he needed to do was to send the Lin family there and ask them to live in a remote place.

Then, they should be able to keep the Lin family from getting involved in the power struggles in the mortal world.

It would be a win-win situation to securely settle the Lin family there and avoid causing too much trouble for himself in finding a place to stay.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, He Song eventually made a decision after some contemplation.

Since Su Qian had already spoken out on the matter, he would follow her suggestion and bring the descendants of Lin Cong to the vicinity of Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.

It didn’t matter where they were settled in the end, and the area around the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion was, for now, still under the Sun Faction’s control, so it should be relatively safe.

After all, it was also an area under the control of a Nascent Soul Upper Sect.

However, if the Sun Faction and God Locking Sect were to truly go to war, he might have to come back here again in the future.

But by that time, his own power should have improved significantly.

Once his abilities increased, even if he had to come back to this place, it should be safer than now.

With that in mind, He Song quickly manipulated the White Jade Boat, and set off towards the Flying Cloud Immortal Mansion.
