Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jade Lotus town was a small border town in a remote area of the Qing Xuan Continent.
In this border town, there were three prominent families, Lin, Su, and Li, who occupied the resources of Jade Lotus town equally.
Today, there were no clouds in the sky, and the sun shone brightly.
In the land of the Lin family, a 16-year-old boy was leaning against a big tree with his hands behind his head.
The young man placed his right foot on his left and crossed them while chewing a blade of grass in his mouth. The warm sunlight bathed him through the gaps between the leaves, and he looked very comfortable.
“Unknowingly, I have lived in this world for sixteen years.” Lin Tian raised his lazy eyes and looked at the sky as he muttered.
Lin Tian’s thoughts slowly sank into the past with this soft voice.
He was not a person from this world. Sixteen years ago, he suddenly transmigrated and was reborn into this mystical world in the nine regions.
Lin Tian, who transmigrated and was reborn, was a collateral descendant of the Lin family.
And his parents in this life had passed away due to an accident when Lin Tian was young, so he didn’t have any impression of them.
But perhaps his parents had brought some contributions to the Lin family before they died. After they died, they brought Lin Tian back to the Lin family to be adopted. It was not to the extent that he would starve to death on the streets and end his life in advance.
“F*ck. Why is it that those who transmigrate are either princes or holy sons of the holy land? Furthermore, they’ve awakened all sorts of cheat-like golden fingers.
“It’s fine that I don’t have a prestigious identity. I don’t even have the standard golden fingers of a transmigrator. Furthermore, my cultivation talent is extremely low.
“After cultivating for sixteen years, I’m still only at the initial stage of the body strengthening stage.”
Thinking back to the past ten years, Lin Tian became angrier and angrier. He couldn’t help but point his finger at the sky and Grumble angrily.
In the nine regions, mortals could obtain powerful abilities through cultivation.
A cultivator who cultivated to the extreme could move mountains, overturn seas, reverse the stars, and shift the stars with ease.
The cultivation realms from low to high were the body strengthening stage, Qi refining stage, sea of soul stage, and spiritual soul stage.
In Jade Lotus town, the highest cultivation realm was the spiritual soul realm, and cultivators of this realm were the strongest combat strength of the three great clans.
At Lin Tian’s age, most people had either reached the late stage of the body strengthening realm or had already broken through to the Qi refining realm.
For example, he had only reached the early stage of the body strengthening realm at sixteen, and he was the only one in Jade Lotus town.
Lin Tian seemed to have vented a lot of the resentment and anger in his heart after cursing at the sky. His expression became gentle, and he sighed softly:
“Why did I help that old woman back then?”
Before he transmigrated, Lin Tian was a good student in the 21st century. He had always believed in helping others when they were in trouble.
However, when he was doing his internship in his third year of university, he met an old lady who collapsed under the sun. She moaned in pain and kept waving her hand.
Seeing this, Lin Tian did not say anything. He went forward and helped the old lady into the shade. He even accompanied her to the hospital.
Just as Lin Tian was about to leave, the old lady suddenly grabbed his hand and insisted that Lin Tian had knocked her down. She wanted to compensate him for the medical and recovery nutrition fees.
This shocked Lin Tian greatly. For the first time, the faith that he had been holding onto was shaken.
He took out all the money he had and gave it to the old lady. Only then was he able to leave and get rid of the old lady’s entanglement.
On the way back, Lin Tian was in a daze because of this matter.
Therefore, he did not notice the huge cart speeding toward him when he was crossing the road. He was directly sent flying into the sky.
When Lin Tian woke up again, he was already in this mystical world.
Furthermore, his memories from his previous life followed him as he traveled through time and was reborn.
At the thought of this, Lin Tian’s expression turned gloomy. He couldn’t help but sigh, “It’s tough to be a good person!”
“I, Lin, swear that I will never do a good thing again in this life.”
Just as Lin Tian was sighing and swearing in his heart, a crisp voice was heard.
“Lin Tian, what are you saying over there?”
An innocent young girl walked into the courtyard with light footsteps.
The person who came had long, silky hair that danced in the wind. She had long, slender eyebrows, eyes that sparkled with Starlight, a sharp nose, and a small cherry-like mouth. She looked like a lively and beautiful young girl.
Her green, willow-colored, thin gown gave her a youthful and cute look.
This young girl was the youngest daughter of the master of the Lin family, Lin Yu’er. She was about the same age as Lin Tian.
Lin Tian and Lin Yu’er had grown up together in the Lin family since they were young, so their relationship was pretty good.
Seeing Lin Yu’er walk over without waiting for her to speak, Lin Tian’s face was expressionless as he said in a flat tone,
“I’ll make it clear in advance. If you need help, don’t look for me. I’m not unable to help.”
Hearing Lin Tian’s words, Lin Yu’er was stunned at first. She only wanted to look for Lin Tian and didn’t want to ask him for help.
Moreover, her current cultivation was at the advanced body strengthening stage, and Lin Tian was only at the early stage of the body strengthening stage. How could he be of any help?
“You took the wrong medicine today. You’re so rude right away.”
After coming to her senses, Lin Yu’er’s face was slightly angry. She pouted her tiny mouth and snorted lightly, saying,
“Besides, with your current cultivation level, you won’t be able to help me if I really need your help.”
Hearing Lin Yu’er’s words, Lin Tian thought and said in a daze, “That seems to be the case.”
“It seems that someone from the family is coming today. Do you want to go over and look?”
Lin Yu’er did not care about Lin Tian’s dazed look and directly told him the purpose of her visit.
Lin Tian thought for a moment. Since he only had this talent for cultivation, it wouldn’t have much effect no matter how much he cultivated. Thus, he agreed to go and take a look with Lin Yu’er.
“Anyway, I don’t have anything to do today. It’s also good to join in the fun.”
At the same time, the head of the Lin family, Lin Zhenshan, and some core members of the Lin family gathered in the Lin family’s main hall.
Among them, Lin Zhenshan’s strength was the strongest. He was already a late-stage sea of soul realm cultivator, while the others were all in the Sea of Qi realm.
Besides the Lin family, there were also four cultivators dressed in sect attire in the main hall. Each of them exuded an extraordinary aura.
They were all in the Sea of Qi realm at a young age. Just like the elders of the Lin family, they could tell that the cultivation of talent of these four people was higher than that of ordinary people.
“Miss Liu Qing can be said to be the favored daughter of heaven. She has already joined the number one sect in the Qing Xuan continent at fifteen.”
“That’s right. At fifteen years old, her cultivation has already reached the intermediate stage of the Qi refinement realm. Compared to Miss Liu Qing, the young master of our Lin family is far inferior.”
At this moment, in the main hall, a few elders of the Lin family were flattering a beautiful and pretty young girl.
However, Liu Qing’s emotions were unmoved throughout the entire process. Her expression was arrogant, and her gaze was cold, giving people a feeling of being a thousand miles away from her.
Looking at the noisy main hall, Lin Zhenshan, sitting high on the family head’s seat, coughed lightly. The elders in the main entrance immediately tactfully stopped talking, and the entire Main Hall immediately fell silent.
Following that, Lin Zhenshan looked at the cold-faced Liu Qing. Although he felt a little unhappy about this, he still revealed a smile and said,
“You should be here for the engagement with Haoyu, right?”
At this time, Lin Tian and Lin Yu’er had already arrived at the side of the main hall. After hearing Lin Zhenshan’s words, they raised their eyebrows and whispered softly,
“Don’t bully the young and poor?”
The Haoyu in Lin Zhenshan’s mouth was the young master of the Lin family, Lin Haotian, who had grown up together with Lin Tian. He was slightly older than Lin Tian, so Lin Tian called him big brother.
Initially, Lin Haoyu’s talent in cultivation was powerful. When he was ten years old, he had already cultivated to the advanced stage of the body strengthening state. He was only one step away from breaking through to the Qi refining state.
The advanced stage of the body strengthening state at the age of ten was a genius that had never been seen in Jade Lotus town. At that time, everyone thought highly of Lin Haoyu’s talent and thought that he would definitely become a powerful figure in the future.
However, some accidents happened later, causing his foundation to be damaged, and he became trash that could not cultivate.
Now, Lin Haoyu actually had a marriage contract. His fiancée was also a favored daughter of the heavens.
Combined with these circumstances, Lin Tian immediately thought of a specific novel from his previous life that broke off an engagement.
Just as Lin Tian was astonished, Liu Qing, who had an arrogant expression, finally said the first thing she said when she arrived at the Lin family’s main hall.
“That’s right, I came to the Lin family today to break off my engagement with Lin Haoyu.”
