Lin Shiming raised his head and, through the flickering light of two candles, faintly saw the towering figure of soone working the iron.
He would sotis smile, but he was mostly stern.
Occasionally, he would tease the younger generation with a few words.
Scene after scene passed by, making Lin Shiming's eyes grow slightly misty.
The candles burned quickly, and Lin Shiming took two new ones from his uncle Lin Houyong, lighting them from the flas of the old.
Lin Shiming struggled to hold back his tears, but his hands still shook slightly.
He had not expected that his last eting with Lin Yutie would beco a permanent farewell.
According to what Lin Houyong had said.
Lin Yutie passed away silently, unknown to anyone.
He chose an ordinary day to patrol the Nanling Mountain as usual, gazed upon Fangmu Mountain, looked over the Stone Ridge Cave, and wherever his eyes fell, it was all Lin Family territory. After a satisfied smile,
he took advantage of the remaining sunlight to return to his rocking chair and continued to examine the wooden sword and jade slip in his hands.
One mont, then another.
No one knew when his spiritual power had dissipated, nor when he had passed away peacefully on the spot.
At so mont, crows perched on the treetops, disturbing the whole of Lingnan Mountain, and everyone pushed open the doors of the courtyard to look.
This cultivator, who had dedicated most of his life to the Lin Family, had reached the end of his life in the courtyard, on his rocking chair, and passed away peacefully.
Unlike the loud inquiries from the Second Elder, the Fourth Elder Lin Yutie left without a sound.
For most of his life, he silently contributed to the Family's artifact refining. In the end, he passed alone without a word, reluctant to trouble the family, and even refusing to take the Dragon Blood Pill...
How could Lin Shiming not hold respect for such an elder of the family?
Especially during their last eting, Lin Yutie, trembling, handed over his sword, into which he had poured all his heart, to Lin Shiming.
Instead of to his own child, Lin Houfei, or his closest disciple, Lin Shizhong.
It was only Lin Shiming's rapid progress that made the latter feel sowhat helpless throughout his life.
But for Lin Shiming, the latter had already helped him a lot, specifically refining three Supre Grade Second Rank Magic Artifacts for him, and also the Qinglian Taoist Robe, which had greatly aided him to this very day.
Next to him, Lin Shizhong was also full of tears at the mont. To him, Lin Yutie was not only the Fourth Elder of the Lin Family but also his dear grandfather and master. Without Lin Yutie, not to ntion his status as a Supre Grade Second Rank Artifact Refiner, he might not even have achieved the eighth layer of Qi Refinent.
"Shiming, this jade slip is what Uncle left for you!" Lin Houyong stepped forward, presenting a jade slip.
Lin Shiming took the jade slip, reading the few lines of clear characters written with flying dragons and dancing phoenixes:
"Family Head, if you are seeing this jade slip, your Uncle Fourth must have passed away. I broke my promise and didn't take that elixir, but I am just a withered old man, unworthy of the Family's precious pills. In this life, to have been born into the Lin Family and have walked the path of immortal cultivation is already a great fortune!"
"My only regret is that I couldn't forge a suitable Magic Artifact for you, truly regrettable!"
"As for the elixir, leave it to Shizhong. He is also a Third Spirit Root, and if he fails to break through, I hope that you will give him another chance. With his talent in artifact forging, he surpasses and even Houfei!"
"For the Storage Bag, I'll trouble the Family Head to return it to Fangmu Mountain for Houfei. If there is anyone in my line with decent talent, I hope the Family Head will look after them!"
"Right, surely the Family Head won't mind if your old Uncle Fourth rambles a bit more at this mont!"
"The Formation Artifact Manual should be used sparingly, as such high-intensity refining of artifacts and elixirs not only depletes a cultivator's vitality but also exacerbates the internal fire toxin!"
The words in the jade slip were not many, but they filled Lin Shiming with warmth. This cultivator of the Yu generation gave his life for the Family,
and even after his passing, he still thought of the Lin Family's younger generations.
The rest of the content in the jade slip was left by Lin Yutie for Lin Shizhong and Lin Houfei.
It was his final insight into artifact refining.
Indeed, even on the day before he passed away, this Fourth Elder of the Lin Family was still studying artifact refining.
The content of the artifact refining was about using the Family's Golden Iron Stone and Golden Iron Crystal to craft a unique Third Rank Flying Sword for the Lin Family, the Golden Lin Sword.
Of course, the final warning also made Lin Shiming pause suddenly.
Indeed, looking at Lin Yuqi, Lin Yutie, and even the current Lin Houxuan, one could draw comparisons.
The Formation Artifact Manual, while allowing the Family to refine artifacts and elixirs beyond their level, also dealt significant harm to the body.
Otherwise, Lin Houxuan wouldn't have failed at Foundation Establishnt, neither would he have beco so despondent, and even Lin Shitao, with her Second Spirit Root, faced great difficulties during her Foundation Establishnt breakthrough.
"Shizhong, this is the artifact refining insight and the crafting thod for the Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Sword, the Iron Lin Sword, that your Uncle Fourth left for you. This will be your task for the future of the Family. Of course, the Family will also prepare a Foundation Establishnt Pill for you!" Lin Shiming handed over the jade slip and the Dragon Blood Pill to Lin Shizhong.
The Dragon Blood Pill had already been given to Lin Yutie, who was to pass it on to Lin Shizhong.
He would naturally respect Lin Yutie's final wishes.
"I will not disappoint you!" Lin Shizhong took a deep breath, wiping his eyes, and spoke with solemn gravity.
He opened the jade slip and read through it, seeing it was the crafting thod for the Third Rank Superior Grade Spirit Sword nad Golden Lin Sword.
The main materials were the Lin Family's Golden Iron Crystal and Golden Iron Stone!
In the jade slip was the Golden Lin Sword, not as Lin Shiming had called it, the Iron Lin Sword.
However, the Iron Lin Sword ntioned later did indeed sound better than the Golden Lin Sword!
Lin Shiming mourned for a day in Lingnan Mountain, and the next morning, he piloted the Supre Grade Spirit Boat, which he expanded to its largest size.
