Martial Universe: Starting with Lin Langtian, who crippled Lin Dong's father.

Chapter 8 Ancestral Stone

In the attic.

A young man in white stood by the window.

Looking down at the scenery of Qingyang Town from his vantage point, a burly man behind him was also gazing out the window.

"Found it?"

"Yes, young master, I followed him all day yesterday. The child did indeed enter a cave and stayed there for quite a while. Because of your instructions, I did not follow him in," the middle-aged man said, bowing.

A surge of excitement rose in Lin Langtian's heart. As expected, that should be the place where the Ancestral Stone fell.

"Didn't anyone notice?"

Although he realized he had asked a stupid question, Lin Langtian still wanted to comfort himself.

After all, the Ancestral Stone was the foundation of his life and the cornerstone for his future rise to power; it was of paramount importance.

"Don't worry, I will do my best to fulfill your arrangements. This small Qingyang Town doesn't even have a single Yuan Dan Realm cultivator. Who would notice me?" Lin Bao laughed, his tone revealing the arrogance of the Lin clan.

"Hoo..." Exhaling a breath of stale air, Lin Langtian regained his composure and said calmly, "In that case, let's set off now."

"Yes."

……

The back mountain of the Lin family.

In the early morning, thick fog shrouded the mountain peaks, making their vision somewhat blurred.

Lin Langtian looked at the steep cliff in front of him, a hint of joy in his eyes.

The back mountain, a cliff.

These two keywords already significantly increase the probability of finding the ancestral stone, not to mention the place that kid stayed...

"Lin Bao, you stay here and guard the place. Don't let anyone in. If that kid from yesterday comes again, knock him unconscious and leave him aside. Don't hurt him."

Lin Langtian gave instructions.

"Don't worry, but are you sure you don't need me to send someone to follow you? Just in case..."

Lin Bao was somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Lin Langtian waved his hand and glanced around. Sure enough, some protruding rocks were not obvious, but they formed a dark path.

Following this dark path, a cave hidden beneath several boulders soon came into view.

The cave was covered by vines and pebbles, forming a natural enclosed space.

If no one deliberately searches, it would be impossible to detect. Even Lin Langtian searched for a long time before discovering the clue.

Stepping into the cave, a refreshing feeling immediately washes over you, as if you were in a completely different world from the sweltering heat outside. It truly is a great place to escape the summer heat.

Lin Langtian immediately spotted the stone pool in the very center of the cave. He slowly approached, and the pool was crystal clear, with a slight chill emanating from it.

If I remember correctly, the stone talisman was located at the top of the cave directly above the pool.

Lin Langtian leaped up and instantly climbed to the top of the cave.

After a thorough search, they finally found the stone talisman hidden in a crevice in a dark place.

"Got it."

Lin Langtian looked at the thing in his hand with a look of delight.

It looks like a stone about the size of two fingers, with a translucent grayish-white color, but when you knead it with your fingers, it has a strange rubbery feel.

Like stone but not stone, like jade but not jade, like wood but not wood.

This is the ancestral stone.

Previously, while searching for the Ancestral Stone, they also discovered a very deep palm print in the shadows on the mountaintop, which must have been left by the demon when it chased Little Marten.

Without further thought, Lin Langtian darted out of the cave. From that moment on, there were no more strange occurrences at this stone pool...

On the cliff.

Lin Bao breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Langtian unharmed.

Although curious as to why Young Master Langtian would condescend to do this, as a staunch supporter of Lin Zhiyi's faction, since the young master didn't say much, there was nothing more to ask, so he simply did as he was told.

Has anyone been here?

After putting away the stone talisman, Lin Langtian asked Lin Bao.

"No one has come here, and the child has also disappeared without a trace."

"Alright, then please follow me for a formal visit to the Lin family."

Lin Langtian turned his head to look behind him, where there was a vast open field with courtyards scattered among it.

……

The Lin family hall.

Lincoln and the others all looked at the person sitting in the head seat with puzzled expressions.

He was completely shrouded in a black robe, and could only be identified as a young man by his voice. Behind him, a burly man stood proudly with his arms crossed.

These two people are extremely strange.

Especially that burly man, whose strength was unfathomable. Even Lincoln, who had been at the Heavenly Origin Realm for many years, was somewhat alarmed when he looked at him.

However, these two were extremely polite, and despite their formidable strength, they did not act like powerful figures.

Could it be a good deed that Father made in the past?

"May I ask who this young master is seeking? If the Lin family has someone, we will naturally not refuse."

Lincoln gave a wry smile.

Even if they didn't know who they needed to borrow from, they probably didn't have much bargaining power.

Since Lin Zhentian had gone to Lincheng yesterday to seek help, the Lin family, with Lincoln being the strongest at the moment, naturally had to step forward to support them.
