Chapter 408: One Year Deadline


    Three dayster, the Deste Heaven technique tea session resumed. This time, it was the stage of the older generation like Su Jie.


    Shen Tu Nantian was absent. Ignoring the damage to his soul, even if he hadpletely recovered, he still wouldn’t have the face to appear at the tea session again.


    For a proud person like him to embarrass himself as he did, at such an important asion, was a really heavy blow that few could understand.


    At the tea session for the older generation, Yi Yun only watched, from the beginning to end. While watching it, he opened his energy vision and paid attention to the sealing techniques the Elders of the Lin family and Shen Tu family n used, and studied the essence of their Deste Heaven techniques. During this process, Yi Yun did not attempt to sabotage by using the Purple Crystal.


    After all, this was the older generation of Deste Heaven Masters. Their control of energy was not like Shen Tu Nantian’s, who was at his limits. It was only because Shen Tu Nantian was at his limits that it was so easy for Yi Yun to use the Purple Crystal.


    Against the older Deste Heaven Masters, Yi Yun may be able to cause trouble with the Purple Crystal, but it was much more difficult. Also, forcefully reversing the energy flow trajectories would increase the risk of being discovered.


    Furthermore, if this thing happened time and again, it would make people suspicious.


    Finally, even if his sabotaging seeded, it would be meaningless as the Shen Tu family n had already made a concession by letting Lin Xintong trial the deste bone relic they refined. Then, regardless of the tea session’s oue, the Lin family would first see the results Lin Xintong had after eating the deste bone relic before they made a decision.


    Compared to the younger generation, the Deste Heaven technique skills disyed by the older generation were even more exaggerated. They could be described as being spectacr.


    And overall, the Shen Tu family n held the advantage.


    Even though Su Jie andpany used all the skills they had, they could notpete with therge number of people that the Shen Tu family n had. At the end, the Shen Tu family n sent a Grand Elder to disy his Deste Heaven technique. He was extremely thin, and seemed like a walking zombie, but his Deste Heaven techniquepletely surpassed Su Jie. No one in the entire tea session couldpete with him.


    The Deste Heaven technique tea session for the older generationsted for three days.


    In the end, the Shen Tu family n managed to win back a bit of face.


    After the Deste Heaven technique tea session ended, the Shen Tu family n entourage did not leave the Lin family, instead they stayed in the Lin family’s Tian Hua peak.


    In a blink an eye, half a month passed.


    Today was extremely important for both the Lin family and the Shen Tu family n. This was because this was the day when Lin Xintong got to trial the medicine.


    If it seeded, then the Lin family would very likely gain a peerless Great Empress. Then, the achievements Lin Xintong would have in the future would be on par with the ancient Great Empress.


    And the Shen Tu family n would form an alliance with the Lin family as they wished, while Shen Tu Nantian would get his wish of bing Lin Xintong’s partner and obtain great benefits.


    However if it were to fail...


    “My Shen Tu family n have made several preparations for this matter. It is also the only copy of the peerless Great Empress’s recipe found in the ancient mystic realm, so how can it fail?”


    The Lin family used a square that was dedicated forrge-scale sacrificial activities. People from the Lin family n and the Shen Tu family n gathered here and took their seats. Shen Tu Nantian sat on a front-row bench and was calmly and confidently answering the doubts a Lin family elder had.


    Previously, at the Deste Heaven technique tea session, Shen Tu Nantian had suffered a spiritual bacsh and had nursed his health over the period of time, he used various medicines without considering their costs, resulting in him finally being able to leave the bed.


    In fact, the Shen Tu family n had waited for half a month mainly to allow Shen Tu Nantian to regain the ability to get off the bed. After all, Shen Tu Nantian was the star of the show today. If he did not attend it, it would be outrageous.


    However, Shen Tu Nantian’s soul had notpletely recovered. If he were to fight, or use the Deste Heaven technique, he wouldpletely copse.


    At least under the situation of not needing to use his mental energies, he would be barely able to maintain his handsome and imposing appearance.


    Furthermore, today was the day when the Shen Tu family n took out the Great Empress relic to prove its effects. He could then use the opportunity to force the Lin family to decide on a marriage date for Lin Xintong. He did not want to drag it out any further with the Lin family by pushing and pulling.


    He believed that with Lin Xintong’s life at stake, and having already thought about the different reasons, the upper echelons of the Lin family, including the Matriarch, would have no choice but to agree to this matter.


    And if he were to obtain Lin Xintong’s primordial Yin, and have cultivational intercourse frequently, he would be able to look forward to bing a Great Emperor.


    Just thinking of this made Shen Tu Nantian feel even more high-spirited.


    The other people of the Shen Tu family n were feeling the same. The Lin family realized that all the people from the Shen Tu family n came with a tinge of obvious pride. It looked like they were extremely confident in the deste bone relic refined by using the Great Empress’ ancient recipe.


    Although these people did not like the way the Shen Tu family n behaved, it was after all, a thought. The Lin family all ended up bing anticipant and started to feel confident about the deste bone relic.


    And for today’s main character, Lin Xintong, her expression was calm as she quietly sat there as if she was a fairy that was meditating. As the person who should feel the greatest emotions, she was the most indifferent.


    At this moment, Yi Yun appeared together with Su Jie. When Lin Xintong saw Yi Yun, she revealed a faint smile and nodded at Yi Yun.


    Yi Yun saw it and smiled back.


    Seeing this scene, Shen Tu Nantian’s expression sank. The triumphant smile he had on his face turned stiff.


    Yi Yun also sensed Shen Tu Nantian’s gaze. He turned his head and stared coldly at Shen Tu Nantian through his mask.


    Shen Tu Nantian quietly and tightly gripped the fan in his hands as his eyes shed coldly.


    Yi Yun’s gaze made him feel extremely ufortable.


    Just seeing Yi Yun appear immediately reminded Shen Tu Nantian of how he fumbled at the Deste Heaven technique tea session half a month ago!


    It was the greatest stain Shen Tu Nantian had ever suffered in his thirty years of living.


    If this was not the Lin family grounds, he would have smacked Yi Yun to death with one hit.


    However, although he could not do anything to Yi Yun now, he would be Lin Xintong’s partner after Lin Xintong took the medicine. He would then be half the master of the Lin family. Then, wouldn’t a small fry like Yi Yun be easily disposed of by him?


    Shen Tu Nantian squinted his eyes at Yi Yun before turning his head to the Lin family’s Matriarch, saying, “Matriarch, the auspicious hour to take the medicine is nearing. Let us invite out the deste bone relic.”


    He smiled as he spoke and gently pped his fan. Although he sounded calm, anyone could hear the hint of pride and confidence in Shen Tu Nantian’s voice.


    Were they this sure that the deste bone relic would definitely be effective on Lin Xintong?


    “Alright.” The Lin family’s Matriarch nodded.


    With the Lin family’s Matriarch words, a few Elders of the Shen Tu family n immediately stood up.


    Shen Tu Nantian also stood up and walked with them to the middle of the square.


    Immediately, everyone from the Lin family stretched out their necks to focus on them.


    What would the deste bone relic refined from the Great Empress’ ancient recipe look like?


    Feeling everyone’s gazending on him, Shen Tu Nantian smiled as he reached out his hand to swipe his interspatial ring.


    A stone box withplex patterns and a powerful presence appeared in midair.


    “To prevent the deste bone relic’s medicinal strength from depleting, our Shen Tu family n have especially used Evesting Purple Gold and a top refiner master to manufacture this medicine box. Just this box alone is extremely valuable and can bepared to a city. However, if it was to bepared to the deste bone relic inside, then it would be like a piece of dirtpared to a pearl.” Shen Tu Nantian smiled as he said loudly.


    The city he mentioned was naturally a warrior city in the Tian Yuan world. Many of the cities in the Tian Yuan world had millions of years of history.


    Many of the surrounding people from the Lin family had heard of Evesting Purple Gold. Many juniors could not help but exim.


    “Just the box storing the medicine is already so expensive. This relic sure is worth the wait! Indeed, if they do not have any confidence, the Shen Tu family n would not have brought the deste bone relic here.”


    “This time, our Lin family will produce a peerless Great Empress. This would be a great matter for both of our families.”


    As Yi Yun had made an outstanding performance at the Deste Heaven technique tea session, his standing amongst the Lin family juniors was now extraordinary. At this event, he had the right to sit on a chair, while the juniors, who were discussing, were standing behind their masters.


    Hearing their discussions, Yi Yun took a deep breath as he waited silently for the result. It was indeed a very important matter if Lin Xintong managed to join up her terminated meridians.


    Even the Matriarch stared unblinkingly at the medicine box Shen Tu Nantian had taken out.


    The other members of the upper echelons of the Lin family also began to whisper and discuss.


    The grandaunt’s voice was particrly striking, “I already said Nantian would not disappoint us. Look at how sincere the Shen Tu family n is. This relic will definitely give us a pleasant surprise! As long as the terminated meridians are joined up, then there is no need to dy Xintong’s marriage!”


    As she said this, she looked towards Lin Xintong. However, she was disappointed as Lin Xintong’s expression still remained as calm as before. Those not in the know would have thought that this matter had nothing to do with her.


    “Grandaunt is right. This marriage cannot be dyed any longer. Furthermore... the Great Empress relics used to heal Xintong totals to twelve relics. After taking the first one, then another has to be taken every month.”


    “As such, the relics would be finished within a year.”


    Shen Tu Nantian said this slowly as his gazended on Lin Xintong and the Matriarch for a while. His smile seemed to imply that he had everything in control.


    Lin Xintong frowned and her watery eyes looked towards Shen Tu Nantian!


    Within a year!


    This meant that the Lin family n had to make their decision on the marriage within a year!


    The Shen Tu family n would definitely not allow the marriage to be dragged on any further after handing the twelve relics to the Lin family.


    This meant that the Lin family had to make the decision on the matter of marriage in theing months!


    Lin Xintong did not know if what Shen Tu Nantian said about taking the twelve relics continuously every month was true. Maybe it was a lie fabricated by Shen Tu Nantian to force the Lin family, but this was no longer important. The Shen Tu family n just needed a ‘legitimate’ reason to force the Lin family into making a decision!


    The Lin family’s Matriarch sighed. Whatever Lin Xintong thought of, she had naturally thought of. This had destroyed her intentions of dying the marriage date...
