To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

The Rebirth Sect moves extremely quickly.

The Lin family's case was solved on the second day after Gu Fan arrived in Duyou City.

It has been verified that the Lin family was indeed wronged.

The incident stemmed from a power struggle between two Qin officials. One of them, in an attempt to bring down his rival, fabricated evidence to frame the Lin family. He has since been stripped of his official position, imprisoned, and will soon be executed.

The entire Lin family was released from prison, their properties and shops were returned, and the government even allocated a portion of the confiscated assets of corrupt officials as compensation.

"Senior Gu... are you satisfied?"

A fair-skinned, stout disciple of the Rebirth Sect stood bowing before Gu Fan, cautiously raising his eyes to observe Gu Fan's expression.

He was a monk specially appointed by the Rebirth Sect to oversee mortal dynasties.

"Thank you for your hard work." Gu Fan nodded calmly.

"I dare not, I dare not." The disciple bowed hurriedly and replied, his tone somewhat hurried. "It was only my duty. It was due to my momentary negligence that the Lin family was wronged. I have already failed in my duty. I would be content if you would not blame me, senior."

Where are the Lin family members right now?

"They have all been sent back to the Lin family's ancestral home. If you would like to take a look, I will lead the way."

Gu Fan nodded slightly, while Lin Chen beside him was already flushed with excitement.

A moment later, led by the disciple, the three of them headed down to the city.

The western part of the lower town is full of wealthy mansions, with wide and clean streets interspersed with various flowers, offering beautiful scenery in all four seasons, quite different from the bustling city life of the lower town.

When Gu Fan stepped into the Lin family mansion, the Lin family members were still in a daze.

Yesterday they were still trapped in a cold and damp prison, but today they were suddenly told that their wrongful convictions had been overturned and that their lost freedom and family property had been returned to them, as if it were a dream.

Lin's father was only in his forties, but he looked like he was in his fifties. His black hair was completely dyed white, and his thin body was covered by a brocade shirt that hung loosely like a flag.

The dozens of people behind him also looked haggard.

"Father!"

When Lin Chen saw his father's appearance, his heart clenched, and he called out loudly as he rushed forward.

"Chen'er?"

After looking him over several times, Lin's father finally confirmed that the boy in front of him was indeed his son. He burst into tears and hugged Lin Chen tightly.

Gu Fan stood to the side, watching this scene of family reunion, his expression slightly cold.

Upon seeing this, the disciple of the Rebirth Sect quickly put on a fawning smile: "Senior, please forgive us. The conditions in the prison are simple and harsh; we have wronged the Lin family."

"It's alright, as long as they're alive," Gu Fan said calmly. "This is none of your business. You may leave."

Although the Lin family members were severely weakened, they could recover with just a little bit of medicinal powder, which was nothing more than a piece of cake for him.

"Yes, this junior will take his leave."

The Foundation Establishment cultivator quickly bowed and hurriedly retreated, afraid of angering Gu Fan if he stayed any longer.

The Lin family members surrounded each other and cried for a while. After their emotions calmed down a bit, they noticed Gu Fan standing to the side.

Lin's father released Lin Chen, looked at him with suspicion, and asked in a low voice, "Chen'er, who is this immortal master...?"

Having been in the business world for a long time, he was insightful and naturally understood that their ability to be exonerated and regain their freedom without cause was no accident. Lin Chen was too young to do it, so it must have been the extraordinary immortal master in front of him who helped them.

Although he did not know Gu Fan, he recognized that the disciple from earlier was a celestial master of the Rebirth Sect, and anyone who could be called "senior" by a celestial master must also be a celestial master.

Lin Chen quickly told Gu Fan about his identity and his willingness to lead him into the immortal sect.

The Lin family members were immediately filled with gratitude and bowed down in worship.

"There's no need for that. I was just doing what Lin Chen asked for." Gu Fan waved his sleeve and helped everyone up.

The group entered the room and took their seats.

Lin's father respectfully invited Gu Fan to sit in the main seat before carefully taking his own seat.

Gu Fan spoke first, asking, "What are your plans for the future?"

Lin Chen will inevitably return to the Lingxiao Sect with him in the future. We have all the fantasy novel genres you like; please visit our site. If the Lin family remains in Duyou City, it will be extremely difficult for father and son to meet again.

"If the Immortal Master has any instructions, my family will follow them completely!" Lin's father replied quickly, his tone respectful and earnest.

Gu Fan pondered for a moment and said, "In that case, why don't you come with me to the State of Wei in a few days?"

"I obey!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Lin's face lit up with joy, and he quickly nodded in agreement.

Lin Chen stood beside Gu Fan, his eyes reddening as he saw his father, still recovering from his imprisonment, forced to leave his hometown for his sake. He choked back tears and said, "Father, you've suffered so much."

"It's not bitter, it's not bitter."

Lin's father quickly shook his head, his tone filled with genuine relief, "Being able to leave Qin is an incredibly good thing; countless people would kill for it!"

"What does this mean?" Gu Fan keenly sensed that Lin's father's joy was not just politeness, but a heartfelt sense of relief.

Lin's father lowered his head and pondered, his eyes filled with fear, and his voice trembled as he said, "Immortal Master, you may not know, but that prison doesn't just hold our family; the entire prison is almost full."

"When I was first imprisoned, I thought my death was imminent, but I was not executed for a long time. Instead, I was imprisoned with many other people. Although there was no torture, there were all sorts of ways to torment people. The jailers seemed to enjoy it."

At this point, Lin's father clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and his eyes were bloodshot. His voice was filled with barely suppressed hatred.

"While chatting with others in prison, I discovered that everyone had different reasons for being imprisoned, yet they all insisted on their innocence. I'm somewhat adept at judging people; if someone is truly guilty, they'll be less confident when pleading their innocence. But those people in prison, imprisoned for years, remain steadfast in their words, never wavering in the slightest. They are most likely indeed innocent."

Gu Fan nodded knowingly.

The day before yesterday, he rode the Dharma boat and looked down at Duyou City from the air. He felt that the city was bustling with activity and the people were healthy and prosperous. But if what Lin's father said was true, then it was probably just a superficial appearance due to different perspectives.

However, this matter was ultimately a domestic affair of Qin, and had nothing to do with him, so he had no intention of getting involved.

Lin's father turned to look at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with emotion, and said softly, "I thought I would never receive a Rebirth Talisman in this life, but I never imagined that I would have the chance to see you again."

"A Rebirth Talisman?" Gu Fan asked curiously.

Lin's father explained with a smile, "The Rebirth Talisman is a unique spiritual talisman of the Qin Kingdom, issued by the immortal masters of the Rebirth Sect in the upper city. As long as one does good deeds and accumulates merits in daily life, one can receive one when one reaches the age of sixty."

"After receiving the Rebirth Talisman, you can return home and build a 'body temple' for yourself, where you can wait for the day of your death. After you pass away, the immortal masters of the Rebirth Sect will personally come to collect the Rebirth Talisman and perform a blessing ceremony in the upper city to ensure that the person who received the talisman will not suffer in the next life and will enjoy a peaceful and happy life."

As Gu Fan listened to Lin's father's account, he actually saw a genuine longing in his eyes.

He glanced at his sleeve and asked Chang Yuan with his divine sense, "Senior, can the Samsara lineage truly accomplish this?"

"What a load of crap!" Chang Yuan's voice rang out in his mind, tinged with disdain. "If it were someone who had attained immortality and enlightenment, I wouldn't dare to speak presumptuously. But the strongest in the Rebirth Sect is only at the Nascent Soul stage. Their limit is already cutting off people's lifespans and adding to their karmic burdens. To think they can add merit to mortals and bless them in their next life is pure wishful thinking."

"This Rebirth Talisman is most likely just a means for the Rebirth Cult to fool mortals and control people's hearts."

Gu Fan nodded in understanding, but still felt there was more to the story.

If you really want to guide people to do good, you only need to promote the principle of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue. Why do you have to set up a talisman for the deceased at the age of sixty?

Moreover, the "day of death" that Lin's father mentioned was nothing more than waiting to die in the "temple of the body"!

The more Gu Fan thought about it, the more strange it seemed, and he couldn't help but frown.

Just then, a clear bell rang out from outside the mansion, carrying a hint of solemnity.

Lin's father perked up and quickly said, "It's a soul-summoning bell! A celestial master has come to collect the talisman for the deceased. I wonder which family's elder has reached the day of their passing."

Having said that, he stood up, looked respectfully at Gu Fan, and said, "According to the customs of Qin, when someone in the neighborhood goes to the Pure Land to be reborn, all the neighbors from all directions will come to see them off. Would you like to go and see them, Immortal Master?"

Gu Fan nodded slightly and said calmly, "That's exactly what I was thinking."
