Chapter 573: The Heavenly Mandate Has Arrived (3800+ words, seeking subscriptions)

After this night.

Within the Lin Kingdom, a legend about the "God of Martial Arts" gradually began to spread!

The Qingyun Chamber of Commerce, Qinglong Laoda, beyond Transformation Energy, Night Battle in Eight Directions... these became enduring Martial Arts Myths passed down by word of mouth in the martial arts world, and that battle before the ruined temple was also called the most brilliant battle in history!

Who knows how many proud Martial Masters regretted for the rest of their lives because they could not witness this battle.

And who knows how many genius Martial Artists took Qinglong Laoda as their goal, revered him as a god, worked hard in his direction, and pursued the ethereal path of Refining Spirit, wave after wave...

And after a thousand years, a peerless genius finally broke into that legendary realm within their lifetime, letting the world know the power of a Spirit Refining Martial Artist!

All of this had nothing to do with Aaron.

The Qingyun Chamber of Commerce was merely a tool for him to seek immortality; now that the chance for immortality was right before his eyes, but the tool had brought trouble, it should be discarded.

"Grandfather?"

"Be good, Grandfather has things to do."

"In my youth, I was fond of immortality, and for this, I wasted half my life, abandoned my wife and children, and barely managed to cross the threshold... It is just a pity that I have been only at Qi Refining my whole life, able only to be healthy and free of illness and pain... Without becoming a Foundation Establishment great cultivator, one ultimately cannot extend their life..."

"My elder is seriously ill and needs a doctor to come for a consultation."

Time passed, and nearly twenty more years went by...

Inside the inner room, someone was lying on the bed.

"Let's go!"

【Name: Fang Yu (Aaron)】

This person was none other than Lin Tuizhi!

While taking Lin Tuizhi's pulse unhurriedly, Aaron secretly sighed: "As expected of an Immortal Cultivator, if the old man holds on for a few more years, he might even be able to outlive Lin Jing..."

"Sigh..." Lin Jing appeared very calm, as if he had long expected this; inviting the doctor was merely doing his human duty and leaving the rest to the Heavenly Mandate.

Lin Jing's face was full of gratitude; nowadays, who in Mu'en City didn't know that the old Doctor Fang of Huichun Hall had exquisite medical skills and could bring the dying back to life?

It was just that the old man rarely practiced anymore; this time, he had truly given the Lin Family immense face!

Although he had known it for a long time, Lin Jing's face still turned pale.

In the past, Lin Jing loved these two grandchildren the most, but at this moment, he was flustered; he waved his hand to dismiss his son and daughter-in-law in the main hall and led Aaron into the inner room.

Aaron showed a look of surprise, but nimbly shouldered his medicine chest: "We are old neighbors after all... I will go personally this time."

"It is truly wonderful that you are willing to make a house call yourself."

Lin Tuizhi spoke very slowly, but every word was clear: "I know you also want to seek immortality, but you have no Spirit Root; let alone you, even your son, your grandchildren, none of them have Spirit Roots..."

"A centenarian!" Aaron sighed, arriving at the Lin Family Breakfast Shop.

In the front hall, Chenxiang bowed respectfully.

Chenxiang had inherited some of Aaron's True Disciple skills and was now the Attending Physician of Huichun Hall; when the other resident doctors encountered difficult cases, they had to ask Chenxiang to step in, and it didn't fall to Aaron anymore.

"To tell you the truth, birth, aging, sickness, and death are the laws of Natural Sciences... Your ancestor does not have a disease, but rather... his Heavenly Mandate has arrived, sigh... prepare as soon as possible."

However, Sanqi had also married and had children early, becoming a grandfather, and now his son was also working at the medicine hall.

And the iron law of Immortal Cultivators mentioned by the Demon Queen Yu Linglong at the time also made Aaron vigilant, so he cut ties with the organization in advance to avoid trouble later.

Aaron collected the consultation fee and was respectfully seen off by Lin Jing's son and daughter-in-law.

Aaron showed a helpless look and sighed.

Anyway, he still had plenty of time.

Mu'en City.

Spring went and autumn came, autumn ended and winter arrived...

"Grandfather... are you awake?" Lin Jing immediately stepped forward, wiping away tears.

Aaron let Lin Jing lead the way and asked casually: "Who is your elder? What symptoms do they have?"

Although the changes in the Attribute Panel were not significant, Aaron was not in a hurry.

He was also forty or fifty, nearly old and dying!

Seeing his grandfather live to ninety-four without illness or disaster, how could he not be envious?

Only leaving behind some loyal core members, he entered a dormant phase.

Lin Jing went to the inner room, and after waiting for a moment, Lin Tuizhi on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

But Aaron still insisted on sitting in the clinic every day, silently waiting for something.

As for Sanqi? He had passed away a few years ago due to an accident, making Aaron, a white-haired man, bury... uh... a white-haired man?

Aaron, who was lying on a grand master chair, moved the cattail fan aside and stopped Chenxiang and the other resident doctors who were about to step forward: "Isn't this the Lin boy? What happened?"

However, his spirit was quite good; he inspected Huichun Hall every day and practiced calligraphy and painting.

This was equivalent to abdicating; he was going to start pursuing the Taoism of immortality wholeheartedly.

【Talent: Immortality】

"Grandfather, don't worry, old Doctor Fang of Huichun Hall has been a close friend of our family for thirty years, and he has always been very tight-lipped," Lin Jing said immediately.

'Hmm, I just passed my hundredth birthday a few days ago... It's a pity I couldn't celebrate it with great fanfare...'

Aaron exclaimed: "How old is the old gentleman?"

He looked to be about sixty or seventy years old, but there was already an air of twilight and death about him!

【Skills: Fishing (95/100), Sea Gathering Residual Art (4/5), Disguise Technique (95/100), Bone Shrinking Technique (49/100), Medicine (90/100), Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting (88/100)】

This day.

【Realm: Transformation Energy】

"Grandson Jing, no need to be sad. Grandfather's time has come... To have lived over ninety years, I have no regrets!"

Aaron was white-haired and gray, panting with every two steps he took.

At the doorway, two children, like a golden boy and jade girl, came up to greet them and threw themselves into Lin Jing's arms.

As for all matters of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce thereafter, they were all left to Yu Xuanwei to manage.

"Grandfather!"

Lin Tuizhi spoke slowly, his eyes becoming vigilant again: "Just now... did you hire a doctor for me? How did I teach you? Do not reveal your wealth, and do not leak your Secret! Cough, cough... cough, cough..."

"Ninety-four years old!"

"I have a volume of cultivation technique here. I specifically avoided using a Jade Slip and instead used a handwritten manuscript so that even a mortal can read it... Keep it well. In the future, if a boy is born in the family, let him practice it and see. If he succeeds, I have hidden things in the ancestral home in our old village... all left for him!"

【Age: 100】

"So it was him..." Lin Tuizhi's cloudy eyes rolled, as if he had only just remembered who it was: "He is also a benefactor of our family... Forget it, forget it. I have a few things I must instruct you on."

Over here.

Lin Jing said urgently.

A moment later, Aaron walked out of the room, and Lin Jing immediately stepped forward to ask.

After finishing off all the traitors, he immediately gave Yu Xuanwei the order to dissolve the majority of the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce.

"How is my ancestor?"

"Master!"

"I have already applied needles to him, which can allow him to be clear-headed for a moment to arrange his final affairs. You all go in quickly."

They had been neighbors for thirty years, and there was a great debt of gratitude, so Lin Jing spoke directly: "To tell you the truth, it is my grandfather!"

"An old man? Didn't your parents pass away long ago?"

"Please speak..." Lin Jing listened carefully.

Lin Jing, who had already entered middle age, rushed in hurriedly: "Doctor? Doctor!"

Lin Tuizhi began to pant violently: "Cultivating immortality... seeking the Tao..."

In the end, no matter how unwilling, the Light in his eyes gradually dissipated...
