Chapter 267: Chapter 250 Autumn Gathering
The Five Elents Spiritual Root represents Lin Jing’s Spiritual Root, incorporating the five attributes of tal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Born with the Five Elents, one’s fate is sealed for life.
The subsequent dium Grade, then, is an assessnt of the Spiritual Root’s talent.
The most direct manifestation of this is in spiritual energy perception and cultivation speed.
Normally, under ordinary circumstances,
the more diverse and nurous the attributes combined in a Spiritual Root, the poorer its quality becos.
Just as it was for Lin Jing before.
Conversely, the fewer the attributes a Spiritual Root combines, the better its talent.
The best, of course, are the single-attribute Heavenly Spiritual Roots.
Such cultivators are naturally inclined to cultivate a single attribute and their cultivation speed is considerably faster than that of other cultivators.
Additionally, because of their Spiritual Root’s nature, they are more attuned to the spiritual power of a single attribute.
Cultivating such techniques becos much easier for them.
Of course, cultivators with single-attribute Spiritual Roots are extrely rare.
It’s possible to encounter just one such individual among hundreds of thousands of cultivators.
They are exceptionally rare genius-type cultivators.
On the other hand, Lin Jing, who possesses the Five Elents Spiritual Root, naturally belongs to the worst kind.
Yet, Lin Jing managed to elevate his talent to dium Grade with the aid of the Cleansing Spirit Liquid.
Although he still has the Five Elents Spiritual Root, it’s already much better than before.
The Cleansing Spirit Liquid is indeed a rare and precious natural treasure.
Lin Jing couldn’t help but think of the disaster that occurred in the land of spiritual cleansing.
“Could it be that the priest of the Howling Sky Wolf Clan attacked them because of the Cleansing Spirit Liquid?”
Soon after, Lin Jing dismissed this thought.
Since the Cleansing Spirit Liquid couldn’t be taken away, attacking them would be futile.
Truth be told, those who entered the realm of spiritual cleansing were important disciples from the three great Sects and from various families.
The likelihood that the Demon Cultivator Priest controlled the Redfla Devouring Spirit Ants for revenge seed more credible.
If that were the case, then it’s possible that the Cleansing Spirit Liquid was seized from this Demon Cultivator Priest.
However, this matter had nothing to do with Lin Jing, and knowing the truth wouldn’t be of any use.
……
Soti later,
Lin Jing gathered his thoughts, stood up, and left the System Space.
After exiting the System Space, Lin Jing left his room, ventured into the yard, and stretched out lazily.
He took a deep breath.
Lin Jing felt that the Spiritual Energy inside Immortal City seed much denser now.
Previously, limited by his Spiritual Root, the Spiritual Energy he could sense was not so dense and even sowhat thin.
Now, after the enhancent of his Spiritual Root’s talent, his perception was completely different from before.
This is the benefit of having an increased Spiritual Root talent.
This uplifted Lin Jing’s spirits trendously.
It was nearing October at this ti.
The afternoon sunlight wasn’t blinding.
The weather was no longer as sweltering as sumr, and a gentle breeze was blowing, stirring the yellowing leaves and bringing a hint of cool autumn air.
Every deep autumn season, for so reason…
It always seems to evoke mories of hard-to-part waysides, making one unable to resist reminiscing…
Lin Jing looked up at the yellowing plane tree in the courtyard, his thoughts drifting far away as if returning to tis past…
…
…
At that mont,
a series of knocks sounded on the door.
This knocking brought Lin Jing back from his complex reverie. After regaining his senses, he got up and walked towards the entrance.
Today,
who could the visitor be at the door?
Approaching the door, Lin Jing reached out and opened it.
Standing outside at this mont was Li Tangyu.
He was dressed in a snow-white robe with a straight collar, standing serenely with a gentle smile on his face.
“Brother Lin, sorry to disturb you…”
Li Tangyu began, his voice as amiable as ever.
This had always been his manner since Lin Jing knew him.
Describing him as ‘gentle and refined’ couldn’t be more fitting.
“Brother Li, it’s been a while,” Lin Jing greeted.
“Please, co in…”
With that, Lin Jing invited Li Tangyu into the yard.
Upon seeing the plane tree in the yard, Li Tangyu looked up and paused for a mont. After a short while, he said,
“Brother Lin, this plane tree in your courtyard lends a rather artistic touch at this ti…”
Lin Jing gazed at the plane trees, covered in a layer of golden yellow, and couldn’t help but utter a sigh.
“Yes, autumn has arrived…”
Hearing this, Li Tangyu gave a light smile, then teased,
“I did not expect Brother Lin to have such sentintal monts.”
“It’s indeed rare…”
Lin Jing did not turn around, continuing to look at the yellowing plane trees in front of him, feeling the strong sense of autumn.
“Indeed…”
“Whenever autumn cos and I see these plane trees covered in yellow leaves, I can’t help but think, maybe soone is about to part ways again.”
As he said this, the smile that had been on Li Tangyu’s face suddenly turned sowhat unnatural.
Lin Jing was engrossed in the sense of autumn before him and didn’t notice the change.
Then there was a mont of silence, with neither of them speaking.
After a while,
Lin Jing shook off his emotions and asked with a smile to Li Tangyu,
“Brother Li, what brings you here today?”
Li Tangyu also smiled, though his smile seed sowhat forced:
“It’s been a while since a few of us gathered.”
After hearing this, Lin Jing nodded:
“It’s been so ti indeed.”
“Originally, after we erged from the Demon Race Secret Realm, we ntioned getting together. But afterwards, we each got quite busy and never managed to do so.”
“What is it, Brother Li? Bringing this up now, do you have sothing in mind?”
Li Tangyu nodded and said,
“I won’t hide it from you, Brother Lin, indeed…”
“I ca looking for you because I thought it would be good for us to get together here. Zhang Yuan just ca out of the Demon Race Secret Realm and is now at ho…”
“This ti, we won’t go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, but will et directly at your place. I’ve noticed that your courtyard is actually quite nice…”
“Also, I haven’t had a taste of Brother Lin’s cooking in a long ti, and I’m really starting to miss it.”
Li Tangyu spoke with utter sincerity.
Lin Jing, after hearing this, nodded in agreent:
“Brother Li’s suggestion, I think, is a good one.”
“We can summon Qing Ling, Qing Qing, and Zhang Yuan, a few of us…”
“It would be perfect for a reunion.”
“There’s no better day than today, how about it?” Lin Jing asked Li Tangyu.
“That’s exactly what I had in mind…” Li Tangyu said with a smile.
Lin Jing thought for a mont, then spoke:
“I’ll go inform Qing Ling, and then the two of us can go buy food ingredients.”
“You go back and inform Qing Qing, and then, let’s have Little Sparrow call Zhang Yuan over. What do you think, Brother Li?”
“Good…”
Li Tangyu nodded, agreeing to the plan.
The two of them then left together, heading out of the courtyard.
Once outside, they parted ways.
Lin Jing headed towards Huang Qingling’s courtyard, while Li Tangyu went back ho to inform Li Qingqing.
Lin Jing’s courtyard was not far from Huang Qingling’s.
Soon, he arrived at Huang Qingling’s place.
After knocking on the door, it wasn’t long before Huang Qingling ca out.
Huang Qingling was sowhat surprised by Lin Jing’s arrival.
But after Lin Jing explained his reason for coming, Huang Qingling agreed without hesitation.
The two of them made arrangents for Little Sparrow and then set out together to buy food ingredients.
……
Four hours later.
Lin Jing’s small courtyard was once again buzzing with an atmosphere of long-lost liveliness.
Lin Jing was busying himself in the kitchen, with Li Tangyu helping out beside him.
The others were in the pavilion in the yard, sipping tea and chatting leisurely.
Lin Jing could even hear Li Qingqing constantly complaining to Huang Qingling and Zhang Yuan about her brother.
Of course.
These complaints were all about trivial matters.
For instance:
Li Tangyu had forgotten about a promise they made as children, or the gifts he gave her that weren’t quite to her liking.
Even when there was good food, he didn’t let her have her way, all of which were brought up by Li Qingqing.
Hearing these things, Lin Jing, who was bustling about in the kitchen, laughed out loud.
He then glanced at Li Tangyu.
To this, Li Tangyu could only give a bitter smile and spread his hands towards Lin Jing to show his helplessness.
After all, his sister had always been like this; the two had been inseparable since childhood, never apart, with Li Qingqing always clinging most to him, her elder brother.
