The Divine Dao Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 13
"Dad, I definitely won't let you down! I'll just make you proud of me!" Said Ling Han.
"Good! Goody! Goody! You really are my son, Ling Dong Xing!" Ling Dong Xing was also excited to the point of shedding tears; although he had no idea what kind of ill-fated meeting Ling Han had obtained, his reward could only feel elated, excited, and delighted! He wanted nothing more than to announce to the rest of the world that/it was his son, Ling Dong Xing's son, not trash!
Liu Yu Tong looked at this scene and, for some reason, the corner of his eyes felt a little wet.
"Dad, I want to discuss something with you!" Ling Han pulled Ling Dong Xing to a corner of their courtyard, and let Liu Yu Tong rest first. There were a few words that could only be said to his father and, after all, Liu Yu Tong had yet to gain his true approval and trust.
"What kind of problem is it for you to be so mysterious about it?" Ling Dong Xing asked with a smile and was a little curious. He wanted to know what words that even Liu Yu Tong — could not hear he naturally thought that Ling Han and Liu Yu Tong were already a couple.
Ling Han said, "Dad, let me see your Spirit Base."
One could actually see the Spirit Base using a special way, but for those at the Element Collection Level, they could directly project their Spirit Base image without having to use any supporting methods.
Ling Dong Xing could not help but frown, before saying, "Why?"
"I want to find the cultivation technique that suits you best, taking into account your Spirit Base," Ling Han said.
Ling Dong Xing could not help but quietly fall silent, how many cultivation techniques did this son possess to actually be able to choose the cultivation technique that was best suited for individuals according to their Spirit Base type? If he had not only witnessed Ling Han's miracle, he would not have believed his words in the slightest.
He shook his head, but did not say a word.
"Dad?" When Ling Han looked at Ling Dong Xing, he realized there seemed to be some sort of hidden story.
Ling Dong Xing sighed and said, "No matter what his cultivation technique is, it is useless. My spirit base is destroyed."
"What!" Ling Han called out softly, but soon, an angry expression slipped onto his face, "Who did it?"
Ling Dong Xing was a warrior of the Elemental Gathering Level, so there was no way his Spirit Base had been disabled from the start. Thus, the logical conclusion was that it had been crippled by someone else.
Ling Han was someone who would cover up the shortcomings of his own people, let alone this was his own father, so naturally he would boil in anger.
"This matter ... is related to your mother," Ling Dong Xing sighed, and his face revealed a glint of tenderness, although there seemed to be regret and anger mixed in with her. In short, it was a very complicated expression.
"Mother?" Ling Han muttered. According to the memories of this body, Ling Dong Xing had never once mentioned anything about his mother to him. Whenever he asked about his mother, Ling Dong Xing would immediately change the subject. The only thing he knew was that, not long after his birth, his mother had died.
"In the past, I thought that/that the matter about your mother would be forever buried in the depths of my heart, but now-" Ling Dong Xing stopped. "Han'er, if you can reach the Element Collection Level within three years, then I will tell you about your mother."
'... He, he's not dead!"
A strong joy appeared within Ling Han's heart. Heaven was truly generous to him, not only giving him fatherly love, but also giving him the opportunity to earn motherly love as well! He laughed out loud, and said, "How hard is that? I don't need three years, I will be able to break through to the Element Collection Level within three months! "
Ling Dong Xing shaken. Three months to break through from the fourth layer of the Body Refining Level to the Element Collection Level? Is this possible? Even for him, who had once been recognized as the greatest genius of Gray Cloud Town, it took him two whole years to make such a giant leap.
But once he remembered that Ling Han had broken through two layers in just seven days.
He was startled for a moment, before he said, "Alright, if you can break through to the Element Gathering Tier within three months, then I will tell you everything, then, and you'll be the one to go and save your mother!"
Rescuing it? This means that his/her mother is currently locked up somewhere. No wonder Ling Dong Xing always tricked her by saying her mother had died, so it was a white lie!
Ling Dong Xing's fierce eyes widened, and he showed an excited expression, yet quickly became calm again. He said, "My Spirit Base is already destroyed, I must drink the Origin Back Pill just to recover the Origin Power; there is no way for me to progress! And to save your mother would require at least the cultivation level of the Flower Blossom Tier. "
Aside from the legendary Shattering Void Tier, there were a total of nine tiers in martial arts, each of which was Body Refining, Element Gathering, Flowing Spring, Spiritual Ocean, Spiritual Ground, Spiritual Ground, Blossom Flower, Spiritual Baby, God Transformation and Heaven Level.
Flower Rate — sixth level. What kind of concept is this?
The strongest warriors of the Eight Great Clans of the Rain Country were only of the Spiritual Level, and according to rumors, the Imperial Clan had extremely powerful warriors of the Flower Rate to oversee the central administration, which was what kept the Eight Great Clans in check, making sure they had no thoughts of trying anything funny.
A person who had attained the cultivation of a Flower Blossom Tier would be able to start their own country to be passed down to their descendants!
However, to Ling Han who had once been a Heaven Level warrior, so what if it was the Blossom Flower Level? And in this new life, all his initial conditions were even more outstanding — Immortal Grade Spirit Base, Indestructible Heaven Scroll ... Moreover, he had passed through the nine tiers of martial arts once, so there was no way he would face any obstacles, either, and his outstanding alchemist skills would be able to give him all kinds of alchemy pills and medicines.
Thirty years, at most, fifty years, and he will be able to once again return to the top!
Ling Han laughed and said, "Dad, the Spirit Base is a part of the body, there is no such thing as being unable to heal the Spirit Base, let me see it."
Ling Dong Xing looked at Ling Han for a while before finally nodding, and said, "Alright!" He raised both of his hands as if he was holding something and, with mental commands, he projected the Spirit Base in his dantian into an open look.
Ling Han was slightly surprised — Ling Dong Xing's Spirit Base was surprisingly the low-level Heaven Grade "Broken Edge Sword", from the gold alignment. It was no wonder that/that even though Ling Dong Xing had long had a crippled Spirit Base, he was still at the ninth layer of the Element Gathering Tier. It was because his cultivation speed was extremely fast, and he had long reached this kind of cultivation level.
However, at this moment this Broken Edge Sword had long lost its blade, and only a slight sword hilt was left behind. There was no possible way to continue absorbing Spiritual Qi, so it was practically completely destroyed.
The destruction of the Spirit Base meant that the martial arts of its owner could no longer possibly increase any further.
However, making him recover was not difficult for Ling Han.
He said, "Dad, your Spirit Base is still curable, but right now I don't have the necessary medicinal ingredients, so I need time."
Is there really hope?
Ling Dong Xing could not help it as his hands clenched. If he could, he naturally wanted to personally save his wife from the brink of her suffering, but since her Spirit Base had been destroyed, he could only put his hope in her son.
In the past, when Ling Han's Spirit Base woke up, yet it was revealed to be the Five Elements Disarray Spirit Base, Ling Dong Xing felt extremely disappointed and painful. From then on, he gave up his hopes and deceived Ling Han by saying his mother was dead, shouldering all the pain and yearning alone.
"Han'er, is what you're saying true?" He asked with a trembling voice.
"Of course it's true" Ling Han replied solemnly. "Give me three years, no, two years time, and I will definitely find medicinal ingredients for Father and create an alchemy pill to heal Father's Spirit Base."
Ling Dong Xing said generously, "Alright, then at that time, the two of us, father and son, will join forces to save your mother and reunite our family!"
"One!" Ling Han nodded.
"However, you still have to obediently go to Hu Yang Academy for me!" Ling Dong Xing suddenly shifted the subject.
Ling Han couldn't help feeling a little depressed — he had already displayed such incredible talent, so why did his parents still not trust him, and forced him to go to Hu Yang Academy? However, his father's actions were for his sake, and well-meaning.
Since his father wanted him to leave so badly, then he would just leave. It didn't matter where he cultivated. Moreover, Grey Cloud Town was too small, and it was impossible to supply the cultivation resources he needed.
