Chapter 281: Redeeming a Life

At this moment, Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but ask: "Did they forget about those two Foundation Establishment captives?

Does the Li family Clan Leader not want them anymore? Or did the conditions of the talks already include the cost of redeeming them?"

His grandfather looked at Lin Zhangqing with gratification and continued: "Your Sixth Grandfather, the Clan Leader, and I only agreed to let them redeem Li Youzong.

That Li Dening has seen you and those Purple Spirit Scorpions, although he hasn't seen your true face.

But in the dangerous situation of the three-family Foundation Establishment battle, a Qi Refining cultivator appearing near the Li family mountain gate.

No matter how you cover it up, everyone knows it's not simple. So, no matter what, we cannot let him go back. We have already insisted that Li Dening died from his injuries after being tortured.

Your Sixth Grandfather and the Clan Leader both feel that protecting you well now is more important than anything else!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing felt warm inside, once again feeling the family's emphasis on and protection of him.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of another important question: he had also borrowed two First-Grade Purple Spirit Scorpions from his Sixth Grandfather that day. He had to clarify this quickly.

He hurriedly said: "Grandfather, that day I also borrowed two spirit scorpions from Sixth Grandfather. That Li Youzong should have also seen my Purple Spirit Scorpions!"

His grandfather shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry! This is not a problem. Ever since Li Youzong was injured and fell into a coma in that battle, he hasn't woken up until now.

Your Sixth Grandfather and the Clan Leader have used many methods over the past two days, but haven't been able to wake him up. It looks like he was injured quite heavily. The Clan Leader judges that it might be damage to his divine soul, which is why he has been in a coma.

And whether the Zhao and Li families can find spirit medicine to treat the divine soul to cure Li Youzong is still an unknown question! Even if they are lucky enough to find it, they might not be willing to take out so many spirit stones to treat him again, given the cost of over 100,000 spirit stones.

So, the two spirit scorpions your Sixth Grandfather borrowed haven't even had a chance to be revealed yet! This is also the reason why we agreed to let them redeem Li Youzong."

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing felt relieved and couldn't help but ask: "What did they use to redeem Li Youzong?"

His grandfather said proudly: "After arguing for a long time, they finally scraped together a round number: 100,000 Lower-Grade Spirit Stones!"

His mother heard this and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is already equivalent to two Foundation Establishment Pills. I didn't expect the Li family to have so many spirit stones!"

His grandfather shook his head and explained: "I estimate they probably took out their entire family fortune, and the Zhao family also helped bear a portion. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to scrape together these 160,000 spirit stones!"

At this time, his younger sister Lin Changling suddenly asked: "Then Grandfather, does this mean this matter is considered to have come to an end here?"

His grandfather thought for a moment before saying: "Barely, I suppose! Li Youzong has already been taken away by them. Now we just wait for next month when they hand over Yunshan County to us, and it will be considered settled!"

As soon as his grandfather finished speaking, his younger sister cheered, then squeezed to Lin Zhangqing's side, grabbed his hand, and called out happily: "Brother~ Brother~ Brother!"

When his sister asked that question just now, he knew it would be like this, so he was mentally prepared.

He couldn't help but chuckle: "I know, I know. I'll go talk to the Clan Leader in the next two days. At that time, I'll also ask Changhao and Changlian if they want to go together!"

His sister cheered: "That's great, Brother! Then I'll go ask Sister Changlian right now if she wants to go play together!"

"Alright, alright, wait until I go ask the Clan Leader tomorrow. After he agrees, then you can go ask Changlian!"

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly stopped his sister's behavior of wanting to go to Fifth Grandfather's house right now.

Now, his family members didn't stop Lin Zhangqing from taking his sister to the market to play for a few days, and they wouldn't worry either. If anything, it was those who dared to have designs on them who should be worried.

After finishing the serious business, everyone chatted for a while longer. After eating the spirit fruit Lin Zhangqing took out, they each went back to practice and refine it.

Lin Zhangqing arrived at the family's cultivation room. He didn't expect the matter to pass just like that. He had thought he would have to prepare for a long-term confrontation! He didn't expect it to end so quickly with the Zhao and Li families compensating and seeking peace, which was a bit beyond Lin Zhangqing's expectations.

However, this was also good. There was no need to fight and kill all day long. Having a relatively stable cultivation environment was also very important for him right now.

At the very least, he could practice and polish his spiritual energy with peace of mind, preparing for Foundation Establishment. Of course, other aspects definitely wouldn't be neglected either!

He collected his emotions and began to practice. He had spent the whole afternoon keeping watch near the family Council Hall with his father, and the cultivation of spells and divine abilities he had scheduled had been delayed.

Now the time was still early, just right to make up for it. After this task was completed, he would finish practicing the Thunder True Scripture, and then he could rest.

Early the next morning, after completing his basic cultivation, he originally wanted to go find the Clan Leader, but based on the experience he got from his grandfather, he estimated that the Clan Leader might still be in cultivation at this time.

So, Lin Zhangqing first went to Aoyun Peak. After spending over an hour finishing the work in the spirit field, he rested in the pavilion for a while.

Only then did he get up and fly straight to the Main Peak, to the place where the Clan Leader was in closed-door cultivation.

When he arrived there, the restriction on the door didn't open automatically. Lin Zhangqing knew that the Clan Leader might still be in cultivation, so he didn't go to trigger the restriction on the door.

He found a place to sit down directly at the entrance, took out the Spirit Medicine Illustration Catalog to continue reading, and became immersed in it without realizing it.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he sensed something unusual beside him. He looked up and saw the Clan Leader looking at him with a smile.

Lin Zhangqing hurriedly stood up to pay his respects and greet him: "Greetings, Clan Leader!"

The Clan Leader nodded with a smile and said: "Little Qing, you came over early in the morning, is there something you're looking for me for?"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said: "Clan Leader, I want to take my younger sister, Lin Changling, to the market to play for a few days.

She has grown up so big and has never been out to play. She has always been very expectant and yearning for the market, so I want to take her to play!"

When the Clan Leader heard what Lin Zhangqing said, his brows furrowed.

He didn't expect that Lin Zhangqing was looking for him for this matter. He valued the Lin Zhangqing siblings very, very much.

They were too important to the Lin family, and he really didn't want them to leave Nine Peaks Mountain casually.

But he also understood that it was unrealistic to keep these young cultivators locked up at home all the time.

Plus, Lin Zhangqing had those Second-Grade Spirit Scorpions for protection, and his actual combat strength was the highest in the entire clan, so relatively speaking, he was still quite at ease.

After thinking it through, he asked: "When do you plan to set off, and how long will you be gone?"

Lin Zhangqing considered it and said: "How about we set off early the day after tomorrow, just go to the market to play for three days, and then come back!

And there might be Changjie, Changhao, and Changlian going with us. With more people, everyone can look out for each other!"

The Clan Leader nodded and earnestly instructed Lin Zhangqing: "I can agree to let you go out and play, but since you are going, you must look after them all.

Especially your younger sister Lin Changling, you must bring them back exactly how you took them out!"
