Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (1-200)

133- Ability Says It All

He lightly said, "Un, I'm at the second layer of my Foundation Stage."

Siiii-

The sound of sucking in cold air arose once again.

Lin Zezhi stared at Lin Xuanzhi with incredulity and stuttered out, "Impossible! You -you clearly weren't - before!"

Lin Xuanzhi swept his eyes through Lin Zezhi and faintly said, "I just broke through. Do you think I should have first reported it to you?"

Lin Zezhi awkwardly said, "Of course not. Congratulations, Xuanzhi."

Lin Xuanzhi responded, "There's no need for congratulations, I've only managed to build my foundation stage's second layer. If no one here needs me, I'll take my leave first."

Everyone present, "..."

Fuck, just the second layer of your foundation? This was clearly him just acting cool to attack everyone else!

"Only?" The fifth elder raised his eyebrow.

"I originally planned on reaching the hardened body stage." Lin Xuazhi looked serenely at the fifth elder.

Fifth elder, "..."

He'd never seen such an unconventional person before!

Fifth elder didn't have any words to say in response. Lin Xuanzhi was even better than Lin Zezhi at drawing hatred towards himself. Yet, these words which were arrogant to the extreme, when paired with his manner and appearance, became tricky. It was hard to tell in the moment whether he was purposefully boasting and inflating his ability, or if he truly had the ability to do as he claimed.

However... It's probably the latter that is true. Moreover, in the eyes of the entire Lin family, Lin Xuanzhi already cannot be compared to normal geniuses. He'd already brought about numerous "pleasant surprises" and "unforeseen incidents". No one could predict what tomorrow's Lin Xuanzhi would bring to the table.

After the people present recovered from the silence that came from being dealt a great mental blow, everyone followed up with praise for Lin Xuanzhi.

Fifth elder sighed with relief and said, "After you've taken some time to rest, come to the conference hall."

Lin Xuanzhi nodded his head, then said to Yan Tianhen, who was currently half hidden behind him, "Ah Hen, Let's return first".

"Okay", Yan Tianhen grabbed the hand that Lin Xuanzhi offered him and, with a bright smile, walked off with him.

Gazing at the two receding figures, one tall and one short, the seniors of the Lin Family couldn't help but to sigh. "This Yan Tianhen sure is lucky to be favored by Xuanzhi. In the future, he will surely receive countless benefits."

"Yeah, some people's fates just can't be compared."

"But he's both ugly and lame, I really don't know what Lin Xuanzhi sees in him when he himself is like an immortal."

"It's just that he has a good fate. When he was first adopted by Lin Zhan, didn't Lin Zhan pamper him and was even willing to give up everything for him?"

"Speaking of Lin Zhan, there must have been something wrong with him to go adopt a random child from the streets instead of taking in one of the children within the family!" Hearing all of these sour words, the fifth elder lightly swept his gaze through the crowd, "Yan Tianhen received the favor of Lin Xuanzhi because his heart is pure and good. When Lin Xuanzhi fell to the bottom, Yan Tianhen never abandoned him or complained about the situation. He never said even a single bad word about him. You are all so busy being envious of him, how about you instead look back at your own actions and determine exactly how he got to that position in the first place."

After being criticized so easily, those that originally wanted to complain about how good Yan Tianhen's luck was now couldn't help but fall into silence.

That's right. When Lin Xuanzhi became a good-for-nothing, they didn't offer any coal in the snow, and there were even some who took the chance to throw rocks at him while he was down. Now, if Lin Xuanzhi didn't take revenge on them, he would already be considered very benevolent.

On the way back, Yan Tianhen blinked and looked at Lin Xuanzhi. "Dage, when you said that you were planning on reaching hardened body stage, were you speaking the truth? If you had gotten a few more days time, would you have broken through again?"

Lin Xuanzhi looked back with a gaze that looked like he was humoring a child. "The words I used to trick the others, you believed in as well?"

Yan Tianhen was shocked, "But didn't Dage say that he already doesn't think much of building the second layer foundation anymore?"

Lin Xuanzhi responded calmly, "Oh, that? I was just babbling nonsense."

Yan Tianhen, "..."

Yan Tianhen summoned up his courage to ask, "Dage, why did you say those words to them then? Did you want to scare them?"

Lin Xuanzhi responded, "I just wanted to show Lin Zezhi what it meant to truly show off."

Yan Tianhen, "..."

Don't look at how Yan Tianhen had absolutely zero progress in refining medicinal liquid or pills, and in fact wasted all their family contribution points without having anything to show for it, he has had incredible progress in refining corpses.

In the beginning, Yan Tianhen stayed in his room to train Ling Chigu, but later, Ling Chigu could communicate without obstructions and followed commands without stipulation. So Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen retreated to a mountain cave to further train Ling Chigu.

Originally, Yan Tianhen didn't want to take up Lin Xuanzhi's precious cultivation time, but his attitude was firm and it was hard to say no to him.

Nowadays, Ling Chigu was already capable of mimicking the motions of a living person as well as hide himself. His cultivation had improved, even reaching the foundation stage. It's just that, all of the Yang flames in his body had become Yin flames. If it appears again, it will contain an eerie ghost Qi.

All of the families will leave and arrive at the meeting before the scheduled date. The perfect time for the families to make and strengthen their connections is before the competitions begin. This is another important event of the Hundred Families Gathering.

Yan Tianhen didn't have a lot of things to bring, so he packed quickly. He then turned toward the expressionless Ling Chigu, who was standing still in the middle of the room. Yan Tianhen scrunched up his eyebrows and asked, unprompted, "Ah Gu, what should I bring for you? Or maybe I should go out and buy some clothes for you?"

Ling Chigu's black eyes peered at Yan Tianhen.

Ling Chigu couldn't speak, and the orders that Yan Tianhen could give him were very simple. At this time, it was impossible to know what Ling Chigu's thoughts were.

Yan Tianhen couldn't help but to think, perhaps after one becomes a corpse, one no longer has thoughts or opinions.

Right now Ling Chigu was wearing a black robe that was crafted by Lin Xuanzhi.

While Yan Tianhen was deep in thought, someone knocked on the door.
