After parting for a year, they would meet again. Good wine and good dishes were naturally inevitable.

Not long after, another delicate and sumptuous table was set up. During this time, Lin Zhenbang and Talking about the Old Man wanted to know where Lin Jin had gone to this year, but they were all left in a daze by Lin Jin.

Seeing that Lin Jin was unwilling to speak, they knew that his character was like that, so they did not ask anymore and only toasted him with wine and food.

It was hard for him to refuse their kindness. He couldn't say that he had already eaten, so he had no choice but to drink with them. On the other hand, A Huang specially made someone to make a big pot of Sweet 'n' Sour Ribs for it to chew with relish.

After a while, the person who went to invite Lin Chen returned, but other than him, there was no trace of Lin Chen.

Lin Zhenbang asked suspiciously, "Little Zhang, where's Lin Chen? Why is he not here? "

"This!" Xiao Zhang hesitated and said, "I called him Young Master Chen, but he didn't have any reaction. Sitting by the lake by himself, he seemed to be in a daze."

"Did you say her brother was here?"

"Yes, but no matter what I say, he doesn't seem to hear me. I didn't dare to pull him, so I had to come back. " Xiao Zhang said gloomily.

"This child, I'll go call him!" Lin Zhenbang heard and was about to get up.

Lin Jin immediately pulled him back, and laughed: "Uncle, there's no need to go, Xiao Zhang did the right thing and didn't pull him. I think Chen Chen probably has some sort of comprehension towards this, it's not good for you to go and wake him up like this.

"En, Xiao Jin is right. Old Lin, you don't have to be too orderly with their matters. Walking on their path, there are many things that ordinary people like us can't handle. Let nature take its course! Eat, eat.

"Talking about the Old Man also said on the side.

"Ai, I know about that, but he's my son after all!" Lin Zhenbang sighed, he then started to eat, obviously, he was unhappy.

Thinking about it, it was indeed true that it was rare for Lin Jin, who treated his own son as his own son, to see him once a few years ago. Now that his own son was cultivating in seclusion, it would be hard for him to go down the mountain again in two to three months. As a father, how could he be happy?

It was fine that he did not see it in the past, but now that he saw it in such a state, Lin Jin also felt upset. He thought to himself: I have been out for a long time, and although my goal is the boundless Heavenly Dao, it is also his most persistent and unrepentant decision.

However, he was far from those ordinary people who were rolling around in the field of fame and fortune.

Although cultivating the Dao was most afraid of being tied down by the word 'desire', this was only a taboo when cultivating the Dao; a taboo when one's mind was divided and their will would go berserk.

Since ancient times, there have been people who said: "There are no unfaithful and unfilial deities in this world!"

Could it be that it was all on him? Cultivation of the Dao and adoption of a blood relation could not be completed in both ends?

Watching them age day by day and losing their spirits by day, was there really no other way?

He sipped the wine. Lin Jin's brows wrinkled, and his frown deepened.

A depressing atmosphere arose spontaneously in the banquet. For a moment, it was so heavy that people couldn't breathe. There was no longer the joyous feeling of a traveller returning from a faraway place.

Seeing them acting like this, Xu Yi didn't dare to interrupt and could only bury his head into his mouth and take small bites of the rice.

Good. Not long after, a voice filled with surprise came from afar, "Father, Grandfather, is Big Brother here? Where is he? "

Along the way, he heard people calling him "Master Chen" from time to time.

"Hehe, Chen Chen is here!" Hearing this voice, Lin Zhenbang and the Talking about the Old Man finally revealed a smile.

"Someone, come over and add a pair of chopsticks." The Talking about the Old Man ordered.

However, Lin Jin was still frowning and thinking. It was as if he was not the least bit interested in Lin Chen's arrival.

Not long later. Sure enough, a figure rushed into the house like a whirlwind and saw Lin Jin. Surprise was written all over his face.

"Dad, talk about grandpa!" He first greeted them. Seeing that the other person seated on the seat was indeed Lin Jin, Lin Chen was full of excitement. "Big brother, you're finally back!"

Hearing his brother's voice, Lin Jin finally reacted. Sensing the zhenqi on his brother's body that was not weak, Lin Jin smiled: "En, I'm back."

He pointed to Xu Yi and said: "This is my disciple Xu Yi, Xiao Yi, called Martial Uncle."

Xu Yi immediately cried out obediently, "Good morning, Martial Uncle!"

He secretly felt around and felt a huge wave of Spiritual Energy fluctuations from Martial Uncle. Although it was still far from his master's level, it was far from what he could compare to.

So, this is Master's little brother! He could not help but feel a sense of admiration in his heart.

Since when did brother accept a disciple?

Hearing big brother's introduction, Lin Chen's heart jumped, and he immediately started to size up Xu Yi's body.

At the beginning, he didn't feel anything special about the young man. No matter if it was his appearance or body, he looked very simple and honest. He was no different from an ordinary child.

However, when he looked closely, he could see that there was a faint aura of a bell emitting from his body. The spirit energy was extremely oppressive. It was the kind of person who only had good looks on the outside.

Big brother has indeed taken in a good disciple, much stronger than when I first met you. Haha, this is the first time we have met, Martial Uncle doesn't have anything good.

With that, Lin Chen took out a small red pearl from his pocket and handed it over.

The bead was only the size of a thumb and was translucent. From inside, there was a fire color. It looked alive and was very beautiful.

Xu Yi accepted the pearl and thanked him immediately: "Thank you, Martial Uncle."

When Lin Jin saw the pearl, he felt that it was a little familiar. He could not help but ask, "Where did you get this pearl from?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Big brother, didn't you live in a place that used to have a treasure? I checked the book and found that it was a very rare piece of ten-thousand-year Fire Spirit Land. The Earth Fire energy was extremely strong, but because no one discovered it, most of the spirit energy was released.

So I set up five Spirit Convergence Arrays according to the position of the five elements. Firstly, to prevent others from discovering them, and secondly, to gather the fire spirit Qi.

However, he did not expect that after six months, a pearl like this would actually be formed in that treasure land, and that the pearl would contain extremely pure fire spirit Qi.

"Oh!" Only now did Lin Jin understand why this bead looked so familiar. He had obtained a similar bead a few years ago, and if he thought about it carefully, at the most crucial moment, the fire spirit Qi within the bead had saved his life several times.

However, he did not think that he would be able to set up a Spirit Convergence Array on that piece of land. He had only set up a Wood Spirit Convergence Array, and also use it to cultivate his zhenqi.

Fortunately, Chen Chen had discovered the true usage of the Fire Spirit Land.

Thinking about this, Lin Jin said to Xu Yi solemnly: "Xiao Yi, you have brought this pearl with you, if you encounter any dangerous situations in the future and there is a shortage of zhenqi, you can use the fire spirit Qi contained inside this pearl. At critical moments, it might be able to save your life, do you understand?"

When most Taoist s fought or used a great technique, they would use far more zhenqi than usual. The little amount of spirit energy in the air was simply not enough to replenish themselves.

For example, Lin Jin had previously brought that pearl with him when he fell into the water and met danger twice, and both times, he had the fire spirit's Qi replenished from the pearl. Not only did it provide an unending stream of zhenqi, the heat contained within it also prevented him from dying from the cold underground water.

It could be said that if he didn't happen to have that pearl that night, he wouldn't be where he was now.

"En!" Xu Yi nodded his head, and carefully placed the bead on its body, suddenly he felt a warm feeling coming from close proximity.

After the group had eaten and accompanied the two elders to chat about Lin Jin and his childhood, Lin Zhenbang's heart was at ease, and a smile hung on his face.

However, the happiest one among them was actually Xu Yi, who had told them so many smelly stories about his master when he was young.

He knew that his master was actually a naughty child when he was young. This made him extremely happy, but with his master present, he didn't dare to laugh out loud. He endured very hard.

At this time, it was already late in the night. Although this day was a rarely seen happy day, Talking about the Old Man was after all old and not as energetic as the young ones. Very quickly, he began to doze off from time to time.

Seeing him in such a state, Lin Zhenbang immediately supported him and said, "Old Gramps, go to sleep!"

Talking about the Old Man slowly woke up, shook his head and laughed: "I'm old, I can't take it anymore. "Alright, you guys continue chatting. I'll go to bed first." As he spoke, he walked towards the bedroom.

Looking at his elderly back, Lin Zhenbang couldn't help but exclaim, "Old Gramps is already old, after all!"

However, Lin Jin could see that on Lin Zhenbang's face, there were a few new wrinkles and a lot of white hair.

"Haha, Uncle, you should go to sleep as well! It was getting late. We'll talk tomorrow. "

"That's right!" "Dad, you should go to sleep too. I'll go out for a walk with big brother." Lin Chen also said at the side.

Originally, Lin Zhenbang had a lot of things he wanted to say to Lin Jin, but seeing his son say this, he thought that since the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time, it would be better to leave some time for the other young men.

"

"Alright!"

After sending Lin Zhenbang off, Xu Yi took a glance at Lin Jin and said: "Then Master, I'll be going to do my homework too!"

"En!" Lin Jin nodded his head, and immediately, a servant walked over and brought him to the guest room.
