956. Chapter 954: The Last Wish

Your grandfather died, Lujiacun should also change its surname to Lu!

Lin Qingyang spoke coldly.

Master, do you mean our Lujiacun can escape poverty?

Lu Yuan's face was full of excitement.

Your grandfather entrusted me at his deathbed, what do you think?

Lin Qingyang countered.

After hearing Lin Qingyang's words, Lu Yuan fell silent.

After a moment, he raised his head, stared at Lin Qingyang, and said firmly: 'Master, if you can help me avenge my grudge, I am willing to change my surname!'

Good, I promise you, but the precondition is to first gather the money; as for your revenge, you need not worry.

Master, I am still short of 30,000 low-grade spirit stones; can you lend me some?

Take it.

Having said that, Lin Qingyang flicked his finger, shooting out a ray of spiritual light.

The next second, a silver note fell before Lu Yuan, amounting to a full ten thousand taels.

Seeing this, Lu Yuan stared dumbfounded, unable to believe it.

Ten thousand taels!

His grandfather's pocket money for Lu Yuan was only a few dozen taels of silver, yet this big brother directly gave him ten thousand taels of silver!

Although he knew Lin Qingyang certainly wasn't short of money, he never expected him to be so generous!

Big brother, this is too precious; I cannot accept it!

If you don't accept it, I would rather destroy it.

Okay, big brother, I accept it!

Having said that, Lu Yuan reached out to take the silver note, then turned and walked into the house.

Grandfather, rest assured, I will surely avenge your grudge!

After whispering, Lu Yuan clenched his fists.

At the same time, he secretly vowed in his heart to accomplish a great undertaking and become a pillar-like man like Lin Qingyang……

Night fell.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating his qi to heal his wounds.

On the table beside him lay a pill, entirely emerald green, emitting a faint glow.

This is precisely the Vein-Nourishing Pill taken by a ninth-layer Ningyuan Realm martial artist, worth several hundred taels of silver.

In Lujiacun, aside from the village head Lu Yongchang, nobody possessed a Vein-Nourishing Pill.

Because Lu Yongchang is too old, he can no longer withstand the pill's medicinal effect.

But Lu Yuan is different.

Although he has just reached the peak of the fourth layer of the Ningyuan Realm and can take the Vein-Nourishing Pill, he has not yet taken it.

First, the Vein-Nourishing Pill is extremely precious; Village Head Lu Yongchang had specifically instructed before his death that once taken, future cultivation would become much more arduous; second, he wishes to rely on his own strength to carve out a career of his own.

Master, the Vein-Nourishing Pill.

Lin Qingyang entered from outside, pushing the door open, and handed over the brocade box containing the Vein-Nourishing Pill to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan hurriedly rose, holding the Vein-Nourishing Pill in his palms.

He knew he owed Lin Qingyang his life.

Thank you, Master.

Lu Yuan said solemnly.

Hmm, I will go prepare medicine for you; tomorrow morning we will set out for the Zhenxi Marquis Manor.

Having said that, Lin Qingyang strode away.

Master, take your time; wait for me to return!

Lu Yuan shouted.

Lin Qingyang, hearing this, paused slightly, then nodded lightly and walked straight outside.

After Lin Qingyang left, Lu Yuan closed the brocade box and kept it close to his body.

…………

The next morning, Lin Qingyang and Lu Yuan had prepared their luggage and left Lujiacun.

Lu Yongchang's tomb is located in a cave at the foot of the mountain behind the village.

Lin Qingyang and Lu Yuan found Lu Yongchang's grave, opened the coffin, and buried Lu Yongchang therein.

Afterward, Lin Qingyang selected a suitable patch of soil for Lu Yongchang, cast a technique that caused it to emanate new vital energy and moistened the surrounding earth, ensuring the grave would not decay.

After completing these actions, Lin Qingyang led Lu Yuan away from the gravesite.

Having bought some sacrificial offerings by the roadside, the two set off on the journey to the Zhenxi Marquis Manor. Lu Yuan is a martial cultivator, his speed extremely fast.

In just two days, they arrived at the city under the jurisdiction of the Zhenxi Marquis Manor—Clearwater Town.

Clearwater Town covers a broad area, with six towering ancient stone pagodas standing in the southern part of the town.

These six stone pagodas are precisely the great halls of the six great noble clans.

At this moment, Lin Qingyang led Lu Yuan toward the southern city.

Halt, who goes there!

When the two reached the city wall, the guards stopped Lin Qingyang and his companion.

Lin Qingyang casually handed the guard a silver ingot, smiling: 'Brother, please tell your master that Lin Qingyang requests an audience.'

Looking at the silver ingot in his hand, the guard revealed a greedy look, but in the end he still gritted his teeth, shook his head, and refused.

"Sorry, my family's Family Head has been in seclusion training lately; no one can see him."

Lin Qingyang laughed and shook his head; he knew the other party was afraid of being blamed.

"Since that's the case, I'll wait for your family's Family Head to come out of seclusion."

Lin Qingyang smiled faintly.

After saying that, he called out to Lu Yuan and headed toward the city.

"Big brother, where are we going?"

Following behind Lin Qingyang, Lu Yuan asked.

"Let's rest at the inn and continue the journey tomorrow."

"Oh."

The two chatted all the way as they rushed to the inn in Clearwater Town.

Clearwater Town truly lives up to being the prefectural capital, with shops lining the streets and vendors' cries never ceasing outside their storefronts.

"Oh dear, young brother, take a look at this treasure of mine—what do you think? Would you consider it?"

"Hey there, miss, look at this pill of mine—just five taels of silver, it cures all ailments; taking it not only boosts cultivation but also extends life and preserves health, guaranteeing you a long life of a hundred years!"

"Hey young man, I've got a knife here—I'll give it to you!"

……

As they passed shop after shop, Lin Qingyang and Lu Yuan encountered various vendors, all hawking their goods in hopes of making a sale.

"Big brother, this place seems quite prosperous."

Lu Yuan said.

Lin Qingyang chuckled and said, "That's natural."

"However, the livelier the place, the more dangerous it is."

"Especially Clearwater Town, where dragons and snakes mingle—all sorts of people are found."

Lin Qingyang gave an explanation.

Lu Yuan nodded in understanding and asked no further.

Soon after, the two arrived in front of the tavern at the center of Clearwater Town.

Lin Qingyang led Lu Yuan straight up to the third floor.

The third floor is where the nobles of Clearwater Town reside.

In the window-side alcove on the third floor, Lu Yuan sat at a wooden table and chair, his face full of excitement as he gazed at the dagger in his hand, its cold light flashing, unable to put it down.

The dagger was blackish-red, its surface engraved with fine patterns.

Although it was merely a mundane weapon, Lu Yuan still loved it to the utmost.

"Xiao Yuan, eat first, fill your stomach, then practice sword."

Lin Qingyang reminded Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan gave a hehe laugh and said, "Mm, I'll listen to big brother!"

After saying that, he put the dagger away in his bosom and then picked up a chicken leg to gnaw on.

Lin Qingyang watched Lu Yuan wolf down his food, a fond smile appearing on his face.

During this time, he and Lu Yuan got along very well.

It must be said, having a brother of considerable ability is indeed a source of pride.

"Boss, please make some more dishes."

Lin Qingyang said to the shopkeeper, then picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.

Before long, Lu Yuan had eaten his fill and drunk his fill, he tossed all the bowls and plates to the waiter and then walked over to Lin Qingyang's side.

He drew a short blade and demonstrated a set of fierce sword techniques. (End of chapter)
