Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (1-200)

65- A Business Transaction

Under Lin Zhan’s guidance, Yan Tianhen had become an intelligent child, but he also had a kind of innately straightforward and naive nature. Lin Xuanzhi naturally liked this kind of Yan Tianhen. But, when he recalled how the Yan Tianhen in his past life had been unable to see through people’s intentions due to his naivety and straightforwardness — which in turn led to his tragic downfall — his heart felt like it was being crushed by a rock.

Also, Yan Tianhen had something called ‘stubbornness’ carved into his bones.

Towards the people whom he believes in, even if they were to beat him up till he was covered in bruises, he would never give up on them.

Towards those who had bullied him, he would always keep their misdeeds in his heart and secretly think about how to take revenge against them.

On the other hand, Lin Xuanzhi hoped that Yan Tianhen could mature as soon as possible and not care too much about others’ opinions.

A childish tiger roar sounded. Yan Tianhen looked at the door and saw two white tigers come in one after the other. One of them was biting on someone’s trousers, while the other was nuzzling against that person’s calf.

Evidently, this man had been “forced” the whole way here by those two tiger cubs.

This person was the Lin Zhantian who had visited their dilapidated yard to offer his apology.

When he saw Lin Zhantian, Yan Tianhen immediately let out a hng and pointed at their courtyard’s door, then said, “You are not welcome here. Hurry up and leave or else I’ll start cursing you!”

Lin Zhantian’s face revealed a look of guilt, but he still stood as straight as a rod as he said, “Not handing over the Recorder Mirror was my fault, you may kill me or cut me up if you wish.”

Yan Tianhen said angrily, “Don’t think that just because you said that I wouldn’t dare to beat you to death!”

Lin Zhantian threw over something that he was holding in his hand. Yan Tianhen caught it, then when he looked at it closely, he realised that it was the sword that Lin Zhantian usually carries around with him.

Yan Tianhen was instantly stunned– he was the typical ‘I’m strong when my opponent is strong’ character, so if the other party were to suddenly soften, he wouldn’t know what to do. Thus, he looked towards Lin Xuanzhi to request for a.s.sistance.

Yet, Lin Xuanzhi couldn’t understand his pleading gaze. He only lightly asked, “The impression you gave me was that of an impartial man, so I really didn’t expect that you would stand on Madam Bai’s side and collude with her in her conspiracies.”

Lin Zhantian endured their words with a face full of shame, then he pursed his lips and said, “Feel free to kill me or cut me up as you wish. But my father, mother and Meimei know nothing about what I did, so don’t bear grudges against them.”

Yet Lin Xuanzhi coldly laughed and said, “If you say your father knew nothing about what you had done, I would believe it; but if you say that your mother and sister were completely in the dark, I wouldn’t believe that in the slightest.”

Lin Zhantian looked up and fixed a fierce gaze upon Lin Xuanzhi, then said, “If you dare to cause trouble for them, I wouldn’t let you off even if I were to turn into a ghost.”

“Even if you do turn into a ghost, I wouldn’t have to deal with your mother and sister before Madam Bai does.” Lin Xuanzhi coldly laughed and said, “Do you think that after Madam Ji had seized Madam Bai’s supervisor position, Madam Bai would be willing to take it lying down? The power of a supervisor in the Lin family is only second to that of Master. Ever since Madam Bai gave birth to Lin Zezhi, the role of the family’s supervisor had always been in her hands. Yet, it had now fallen into the hands of a side branch — how could Madam Bai endure such a great humiliation?!”

In fact, after Madam Bai recovers, she’ll probably deal with Madam Ji immediately.

Lin Zhantian gritted his teeth and said, “If you can spare my life, I’ll be eternally grateful to you.”

“What do I need your grat.i.tude for.” Lin Xuanzhi changed the topic and said, “I remember you have a sister who was born with a Chiyang3 body type, and it is precisely because her Yang Qi is so strong her body can’t withstand it which had caused her to stay bedridden all these years. If she doesn’t consume a certain medicinal pill everyday, her body would be at risk of exploding from her inner Yang Qi.”

When Lin Zhantian heard Lin Xuanzhi mention his sister, he was instantly more wary and said, “That’s right, Yuhan is indeed like that. What are you mentioning this for?”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “Nothing much. It just suddenly occurred to me that when I was still at Profound Sky Sect a few years ago, Madam Ji had asked me to search for a magic treasure called Taiyan Cauldron. Even though I had managed to find it at that time and almost sent it to Madam Ji, that Taiyan Cauldron had a hole in it, so it could not be as effective as Madam Ji expected it to be.”

Lin Zhantian was surprised, then he said, “That Taiyan Cauldron was actually found by you?”

Lin Xuanzhi looked at him and said, “Who else?”

Yan Tianhen couldn’t help but jump in and say, “My Dage had done such a big favour for you guys, yet you repaid his kindness with ingrat.i.tude. Pei, aren’t you guys too shameless!”

Lin Zhantian was thoroughly berated. As he thought about what he had done, his hatred for himself grew.

“I let you down.” Lin Zhantian finally lowered his head and said.

“I don’t need your apology.” Lin Xuanzhi had always believed that apologies were useless, “I want to make a deal with you.”

Lin Zhantian raised his head and asked, “What deal?”

Lin Xuanzhi placed his hands behind his back and lightly said, “I want a drop of your sister’s heart blood.”

“What?” Lin Zhantian’s face immediately changed, then said, “If a drop of her heart blood is taken out, the extreme Yang Qi in her body will become even more turbulent!”

Heart blood has a Yin quality, and at least half of the extreme Yang Qi in Han Yuran’s body is being suppressed by her heart blood.

Lin Xuanzhi’s glance swept across Lin Zhantian’s face, then said, “Within the next three years, I will finish repairing that Taiyan Cauldron, then I’ll pa.s.s it to Madam Ji. This Taiyan Cauldron is the only one of its kind throughout the Five Continent’s mainlands. Rumours have said that the medicinal pills refined by alchemists who use the Taiyan Cauldron will either be of extreme Yin or extreme Yang quality depending on the attribute of the spiritual plants used; and the Yin medicinal pill that is refined from it would be without a doubt the best kind of medicine that can suppress Lin Yuhan’s internal extreme Yang Qi. Even if it can’t resolve the root of her problem, it would be more than enough to help Lin Yuhan live like a normal person.

You must know, ever since Lin Yuhan’s feet touched the ground, she had never seen the sun before– exposure to the sun’s pure Yang nature would overload her body and she would end up exploding to death!

And her mother’s wish, had always been a simple and tender one.

All Ji Lanjun wants, is for Lin Yuhan to be able to live like an ordinary girl.

1. This attendant is the Master’s 抱剑童子, directly translated = the attendant who carries his sword. But after some googling, apparently this kind of attendant takes care of their Master’s sword bc outside of cultivation they don’t have much energy for anything else. If no one takes care of their sword while they cultivate, their sword will end up gathering dust in some corner↩

2. Sending someone charcoal in the snow = helping someone in their time of need↩

3. Chi = blazing, yang = sun; it’s a body type that contains a lot of Yang energy and this Yang energy is supposedly very extreme↩
