Lin Fan looked at Ni Zhen, saying nothing.
The pressure on Ni Zhen was imnse. Ever since learning that Wei Qiu was accepted as a direct disciple by the leader of Baoling Sect, the patriarch placed all the pressure on her. It was also known that she looked down on the other, considering him a re mortal, and intentionally distanced herself. Therefore, no matter what, Ni Zhen had to earn the other’s forgiveness, or she wouldn’t be the Chen family’s daughter-in-law.
Ni Zhen knew that without the Chen family’s aura, she really was nothing.
Thud!
Ni Zhen bent her knees and knelt on the ground, her head lowered. "Uncle Lin, Aunt Qi, Er Ya knows she was wrong. Er Ya shouldn’t have relied on her connection to the Chen family to avoid contacting Uncle Lin’s family, afraid their status would tarnish my reputation. Er Ya truly recognizes her mistake."
Ni Haisheng looked at Er Ya indifferently. In the end, he softened his heart. When Er Ya pleaded with him, he had no choice but to co at night.
Qi Yan coldly said, "It seems the pressure from the Chen family patriarch is quite heavy on you. The dignified daughter-in-law of the Chen family, a Foundation Establishnt cultivator in the cultivation world, kneeling to a loose cultivator like , who hasn’t even reached Foundation Establishnt, and my in-law is a mortal, how can they stand such a gesture."
Ni Haisheng added, "You foolish girl, rember how well Uncle Lin and Aunt Qi treated you before, and little Wei An and Xin’er treated you as the best friend. Yet you achieved a bit and beca full of yourself, looking down on this and that. Now look at what you’ve beco."
Wei An and Xin’er were at a loss.
They wanted to say sothing.
But they didn’t know what to say.
Wei An and Xin’er could only cast a pleading look at Uncle Lin.
"Alright," Lin Fan spoke, "Making mistakes isn’t scary; what’s scary is not knowing how to repent. It’s not easy for your father to raise you; you must respect him. If you can’t even respect your own father, no one else will respect you either."
"Yes, Er Ya knows she was wrong."
"Alright, stand up. And your ways and don’t let your father remain upset constantly." Lin Fan had watched Er Ya grow up. Although the emotional bond wasn’t as deep as with Wei An, there was still so affection.
There was no need to make things difficult for the young one anymore.
One could only hope she truly changes.
"Thank you, Uncle Lin." Er Ya slowly got up and stood respectfully to the side.
Ni Haisheng couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. This was all he could do, and he was very grateful to Lin Fan.
...
Ti flew by, years sped past.
Five years had gone by.
Little Wei An was now forty-three years old.
And Lin Fan had reached the age of sixty-seven.
During this ti, Wei Qiu had stayed in the immortal sect for cultivation, sending back many letters, mostly filled with caring words and experiences of his ti in the sect.
Upon joining the Baoling Sect, Wei Qiu seed blessed. By the second year in the immortal sect, he had successfully reached Foundation Establishnt, and by the fifth year, he shockingly achieved mid-stage Foundation Establishnt.
A twenty-three-year-old with a mid-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivation left the entire Baoling Sect thoroughly astonished.
They exclaid in disbelief.
There was no such record in the cultivation annals of Central State.
Of course, the Baoling Sect had not publicized this to the outside world, but so cultivation families like the Chen family indirectly learned about it, and imdiately raised their regard for the Wei family to the utmost extre.
The result of this situation was that over the years, the Wei household was constantly bustling, never at rest, with never-ending visitors.
Cultivation families frantically tried to win over the Wei family.
For example, when Lin Fan casually murmured that his vegetable garden was a bit small while gardening, the cultivation families imdiately arranged for tenants around to move out, offering high relocation fees to avoid leaving a bad reputation.
Nowadays, Lin Fan’s vegetable garden is large enough, ready to plant whatever he desires.
"Uncle, here’s a Lifespan Extension Pill from the Chen family, you should take one." Wei An anxiously watched as Uncle Lin gradually aged, feeling distressed. Uncle Lin was a mortal, unable to cultivate, and with each passing day, ti shortened.
A Lifespan Extension Pill could extend life by five years, with a limit of taking four, after which it had no use.
"I won’t take it. I’m living well; why should I eat this?"
Lin Fan waved his hand, showing no interest in the Lifespan Extension Pill. Why live so long when it’s completely unnecessary? Four Lifespan Extension Pills together allow living an additional twenty years. This ans if Wei An’s natural lifespan is a hundred years, taking the pills would let him live up to a hundred and twenty years.
"Uncle, just take one." Wei An coaxed Lin Fan.
Lifespan Extension Pills were very precious.
Normal mortals would definitely never encounter such pills.
These are usually bought and consud by cultivators, intending to extend their lifespan by a few years near its end to break through. If the breakthrough is successful, the extension succeeds; if it fails, it results in death.
When annoyed by Wei An’s constant urging, Lin Fan pretended to take the pill and sent Wei An away.
"It’s been a long ti. Why hasn’t the third calamity descended yet?"
Lin Fan observed, feeling rather helpless.
During this ti, Qi Yan, supported by pills, broke through to the late stage of Qi Refinent. Continuing with this level of resource consumption, Foundation Establishnt was also within reach.
Successfully reaching Foundation Establishnt would an Qi Yan, this loose cultivator, would experience a renaissance of sorts.
Another ten years passed.
Indeed, in cultivation, ti is lost track of.
Wei Qiu was in closed-door training at the immortal sect, astonishingly for ten years, advancing from mid-stage Foundation Establishnt directly to the Core Formation realm.
This news exhilarated the entire Baoling Sect.
Initially, they wanted to conceal that Baoling Sect had such a genius, but news had leaked out years ago. They couldn’t hide it anymore and straightforwardly admitted it.
