Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 559 - 14: Family Reunion

Lin Jing and Lin Lan had already discussed, and she was preparing to reveal everything to their parents.

After organizing her thoughts, Lin Lan walked out of her courtyard.

She went next door and called out to her parents who were collecting tea leaves.

"Lan Lan? Not cultivating? Are you going to visit your master? We just dried a new batch of tea leaves, you should take some to your master."

Seeing Lin Lan, her mother immediately spoke, knowing that their family was cured by Lu Mountain Hermit, and her parents were aware of the current state of the world.

"No, I’m not going to see my master; there’s something I want to talk to you about." Lin Lan finished speaking, and her father also put down his work and looked at her; today, Lin Lan seemed more serious than usual.

"My brother..."

"Have you ever thought about seeing him again?"

Thud.

The items in their hands fell, and they looked at Lin Lan in confusion, not understanding what she meant.

"Lan Lan, what are you talking about?" Her mother’s mind went blank.

"Haven’t you heard? My master, Lu Mountain Hermit, is a cultivator, and now I am too. Even things like immortals exist; haven’t you considered the existence of ghosts and an underworld as well?"

"Given that these all exist, even if someone has passed away, being resurrected isn’t impossible, right?"

Lin Lan gradually eased her parents into the possibility of the dead being brought back to life. After hearing this, their hearts indeed began to race, and her mother stepped forward, gripping Lin Lan’s hand: "Lan Lan, do you know something, have you discovered something?"

"Quick, tell us."

"Alright, don’t get too excited; here’s the thing, as you know, my master only agreed to take me as a disciple because of my special cultivation constitution. In fact, it seems like a genetic trait runs in our family that makes it easy for us to have special cultivation physiques, potentially including my brother."

"Therefore, even though he passed away, there are powerful cultivators willing to use their abilities to bring him back to life."

"Lan Lan, are you saying, your brother is alive?" Her father also rushed over, breathing heavily, his heart beating rapidly.

"Wasn’t he already..."

"Actually, I saw him a few months ago. At that time, he had just come back to life, and his condition wasn’t very good, so he didn’t return to see you immediately..."

"Where is he now, where is he?" Her parents were stunned for several seconds, processing the huge information, and then they excitedly asked Lin Lan.

"Calm your emotions first, keep them steady; it’s not good for your health to have intense emotional fluctuations. Relax first, then I’ll take you to him."

"How can we remain calm, Lan Lan, don’t worry, we’re fine, just take us there quickly." Her mother was becoming increasingly impatient, and seeing that their state wasn’t too bad, Lin Lan nodded.

"Okay, but promise me, you must keep your emotions under control..."

Not long after.

Lin Lan led them to her courtyard, where Lin Jing had already changed into modern clothes. Even though his true age was much greater than his parents, he couldn’t help but feel a little emotional.

When the parents entered the courtyard, and saw Lin Jing standing in the center, the world seemed to pause. Lin Jing’s soft words, "Dad. Mom." broke the silence.

"Jingzi, is it really you...?" Her father couldn’t believe it, he awkwardly stepped forward. Lin Jing supported him and smiled, "It’s really me. I’m sorry for causing you grief. Thanks to the revival of Spiritual Qi on Earth, I didn’t actually die."

"That’s so, so wonderful." His mother wiped her tears and didn’t want to dwell on how her son came back to life; just being able to see him again, she felt content, even if she died right now, she’d be satisfied.

Looking at them, Lin Jing sighed. Unfortunately, he could only stay on Earth for a year. Although this was home, the Celestial Essence Realm had become his second home, and he needed to return to fulfill the thousand-year pledge, lest it be destroyed by the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor.

Moreover, that Immortal Emperor who meticulously selected them would likely not allow them to choose their fate voluntarily.

Just one year... Within this year, regardless of whether he could achieve Celestial Destiny, Lin Jing thought, he needs to be filial, and perhaps leave them with a grandchild before he leaves.

However, in the current situation, Lin Jing dared not say that he must leave in a year... afraid of making his parents sad.

As things stood,

Let’s have a meal first.

"I’m hungry." He suddenly rubbed his stomach, as if reverting to his old self on Earth.

"I’ll cook." His mother immediately said, "What do you want to eat, I’ll make it now."

"Can we have dumpling soup?" Lin Jing replied, while beside him, Lin Lan showed a bewildered expression.

No way, corpse cultivators eat food too? Shouldn’t it be blood, like hot pot with duck’s blood?

"Alright, alright, wait for me." His mother quickly went to prepare.

"Come on, Dad, let’s play a game of chess and chat; it’s been so long since we played together." His father loved chess, and in the past, Lin Jing often played with him, although he never won.

Now, relying on his Celestial Demon Divine Sense, Lin Jing was confident in his chess skills.

That night, Lin Jing set aside the identity of cultivator to chat happily with his family; the reason he withheld the full truth and his real experiences was to prevent them from worrying too much, as living through enmity against myriad realms is not the kind of experience that sets one’s heart at ease.

At night.

After coaxing his parents to sleep, and sending Lin Lan away with a bag of Spirit Stones, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of wistfulness.

"As an Ancient Immortal Realm, Earth still harbors many dangers; before I leave, I must ensure they have stronger protective measures; relying solely on the Ice Soul Gu is not enough!"

"The Ice Soul Gu can handle Void Profound Cultivators at best, which is too weak..."

Besides Lin Jing, several pet beasts had also broken through to the Void Profound Realm.

Among them, each pet beast had a standard Immortal Dao Primordial Spirit, capable of independently developing Immortal Power.

However, each had a different means of developing Immortal Power.

Lin Jing created a world of life and death cycles within his Primordial Spirit, absorbing the life force from countless reincarnations of the Mosquito Beast.

The Pine Squirrel created the "Tree Realm", where independent rules exist, and vegetation can develop into spiritual beings; within the pine forest of the Tree Realm, each Pine Tree Demon is an ancient life-essence spirit monster. Essentially, its Tree Realm is similar to Lin Jing’s world of life and death cycles, except Lin Jing absorbs from the Mosquito Beast, while it absorbs from the pine spirits in its little world.

The Dragon Carp, on the other hand, created a "World within the Cauldron", where the space within its Primordial Spirit resembles a giant Pill Furnace; in this domain, whenever enemies are refined alive, their entire life essence is extracted and efficiently converted into Immortal Power. Although it may not be as self-sustaining and slow-paced as Lin Jing’s or the Pine Squirrel’s Void Profound domains, in terms of efficiency in converting Immortal Power, the Dragon Carp’s direct extraction of an enemy’s entire life essence is faster. After all, Lin Jing and the Pine Squirrel only extract a small part of the life force throughout the lives of the Mosquito Beast and Pine Tree Demons...

Even the Ice Soul Gu felt the Dragon Carp was too evil and criticized it for ignoring sustainable development.
