Chapter 202: Compensation

After waiting for a while and confirming that Zhao Liyu had finished reading everything, Lin Zhangqing finally spoke: "You've finished reading, right? How do you feel?"

Zhao Liyu thought for a moment before saying: "I didn't expect that these two cultivation techniques left behind by my great-grandfather would actually involve two major powers in the Upper Realm.

And they can even be cultivated to the Nascent Soul Great Perfection; it really far exceeds my imagination."

Lin Zhangqing nodded and continued to ask: "Then do you think it's a blessing or a curse if these two cultivation techniques are left in the Zhao family?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Liyu's face turned pale. She opened her mouth but didn't make a sound, and in the end, she could only shake her head in frustration.

Seeing her like this, Lin Zhangqing felt a bit of pity, but there were some things he had to do!

He continued: "The matter of these two cultivation techniques far exceeds my initial estimates.

At that time, I promised you that I would let you copy a set to leave for the Zhao family, expecting them to be just ordinary techniques; I didn't actually value them much, but now it seems that won't work.

So I want to discuss with you: I won't let you copy these two cultivation techniques.

In the future, I will find two more techniques that can be cultivated to at least the Golden Core Stage and give them to you. As for whether you keep them for yourself or give them to the Zhao family, I won't interfere.

And when you reach the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, I will give you a Purple Mansion Tongxuan Pill so that you can advance to the Purple Mansion Stage.

Finally, when the Qingyin Bamboo grows enough, I will give you a 1,200-year-old one for you to refine your Destined Magic Treasure.

Or, if there is a suitable magic treasure for you in the future, I will give you one directly. You can choose either of these two options.

What do you think?"

Hearing Lin Zhangqing's words, Zhao Liyu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and she felt much better inside. With this compensation, she could consider it an explanation to the ancestors of the Zhao family.

At first, she thought Lin Zhangqing would kill her to silence her; she had already resigned herself to her fate and prepared for the worst.

She didn't expect Lin Zhangqing to offer such generous compensation, so what else could she say?

Zhao Liyu said earnestly: "Thank you, Master. This is already much better than I expected. I agree."

Lin Zhangqing nodded. He had been observing her through the golden runes and knew she wasn't lying.

This was for the best; she could continue to live in the Inner Space. If she were greedy, there would be no way around it! He would only have to say sorry to her!

Now that the problem could be solved through discussion, that was the best thing possible. He really didn't want to be a person without a bottom line; fortunately, Zhao Liyu didn't make things difficult for him.

Subsequently, Zhao Liyu respectfully returned the three jade slips to Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing thought for a moment, took only the two cultivation technique jade slips, and then said: "You can copy the jade slip about your family history.

But in the copy, all records concerning these two cultivation techniques must be deleted or modified.

And in the future, without my permission, you are not allowed to disclose any news about these two cultivation techniques. This is an order, do you remember?"

Hearing what Lin Zhangqing said, Zhao Liyu was overjoyed and quickly said: "Thank you, Master. I will definitely keep Master's order in mind.

I will never mention this matter to anyone again in the future, please rest assured, Master! For this jade slip, I will only copy the family history and genealogy; there is no need to copy the rest."

Lin Zhangqing nodded; this was also good, as it saved him from having to modify the content inside, which would really be troublesome.

Subsequently, Zhao Liyu copied it in front of Lin Zhangqing. The content of the family history and genealogy was not much, and Zhao Liyu finished copying it in half an hour.

Then she respectfully handed the two jade slips to Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing was not polite; he checked them directly, and after confirming there were no problems, he returned them to Zhao Liyu.

Just dealing with these three jade slips had wasted more than an hour, and there was still one more place to go. Lin Zhangqing didn't want to continue wasting time here.

Leading Zhao Liyu, the two arrived at the entrance of the Chen family ancestral hall. Next, it was up to Zhao Liyu; he signaled for her to lead the way.

This time it was much simpler and smoother. Zhao Liyu avoided various mechanisms with ease and led Lin Zhangqing into the secret room. Then, in a hidden compartment, she took out the Third-Grade Spirit Planter inheritance and was just about to hand it to Lin Zhangqing.

Lin Zhangqing waved his hand and said: "Start copying directly. Let's finish it and go back early, so we don't have to come again later!"

Zhao Liyu thought it made sense, and after agreeing, she immediately started working.

Lin Zhangqing was really too bored, so he started looking at some books collected in the secret room and checked them all.

Sure enough, just as Zhao Liyu said, they were all ordinary cultivation techniques, some introductory things about cultivation, and common knowledge; the rest were some travelogues and books recording the customs of the cultivation world.

Lin Zhangqing was not interested in these, so he just flipped through them casually to pass the time.

Fortunately, an hour and a half later, Zhao Liyu finally finished. Lin Zhangqing put away the original jade slip, and the remaining newly made jade slip was put back into the original hidden compartment by Zhao Liyu herself.

Subsequently, the two chose to return the same way. Fortunately, it was still the dead of night, and they didn't encounter any villagers, which saved a lot of trouble.

The two successfully returned to the woods outside the village. Lin Zhangqing set up some Purple Crystal Scorpions on the periphery of the formation, and then the two entered the Maze Formation.

Lin Zhangqing looked at Zhao Liyu and said: "The matter here is successfully concluded. I will take you back to the Inner Space."

Zhao Liyu nodded and was taken into the Spirit Beast Bracelet by Lin Zhangqing, and then Lin Zhangqing entered the Inner Space.

Every time, it was Deer Youqiang and the others who discovered Lin Zhangqing first, and then they enthusiastically surrounded him to welcome him.

Now Lin Zhangqing was in a very good mood. He stroked and groomed the whole family and fed each of them a Spirit Nurturing Pill before letting them go off to play.

After doing this, he raised his hand and released Zhao Liyu.

Having just gone in and come out so quickly, she was really a bit unaccustomed to switching back and forth between two or three spaces, but fortunately, she adapted quickly.

Seeing that she had returned to normal, Lin Zhangqing said: "The mission to Fengtai County this time has been successfully completed. The harvest far exceeds my expectations, and I am very satisfied.

I will fulfill what I promised you as soon as possible. You should also seize the time to cultivate and strive to reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible."

Back in the Inner Space, Zhao Liyu was also completely relieved.

Hearing Lin Zhangqing's instructions, she quickly replied: "Thank you, Master. I will definitely seize the time to cultivate hard, and I guarantee that I will not fall behind in my own duties. Please rest assured, Master!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said nothing more. Subsequently, he let her leave to do her own things.

The matter this time was indeed a little bit unfair to Zhao Liyu.

But there was no help for it; for Lin Zhangqing and his family, these two Heaven-grade cultivation techniques were too important and must not be leaked out.

So he could only wrong Zhao Liyu a little, and Lin Zhangqing also tried his best to give her some compensation and didn't do anything like "eating it all up and wiping it clean."

Fortunately, Zhao Liyu was also relatively sensible about the big picture and didn't make things difficult for Lin Zhangqing, and the problem was successfully solved after discussion.

Therefore, Lin Zhangqing decided to give Zhao Liyu some preferential treatment, which was why he instructed her to seize the time to cultivate and reach Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.

Everything was done. Lin Zhangqing patrolled the space roughly, found no problems, and then exited the Inner Space.

Returning to the Maze Formation, he estimated the current time; it should be around the Yin hour, so Lin Zhangqing didn't cultivate anymore and just found a place to lie down and rest.

At this point, the matter in Fengtai County was successfully concluded, with a harvest of two Heaven-grade cultivation techniques pointing directly to the Great Dao and one Third-Grade Spirit Planter inheritance.

Lin Zhangqing was already very satisfied; it could be said that it far exceeded his psychological expectations.

He prepared to have a good rest, and after dawn, he would set off for Baishan County. This time, he would have to fly continuously for several days again.
