Chapter 93: Father and Son Reunion
In the early morning, Shi Lin glanced at the lights in the courtyard; everyone had already turned off their lights and gone to sleep.
After returning to his room, Shi Lin activated the mechanism on the bookshelf and entered the secret passage.
I've been away from home for almost a month now, and it's time to have a chat with my dad.
Sure enough, Shi Zhen thought so too, so he was already waiting in the secret passage.
"You little brat, you've really grown up, haven't you? You've even learned to run away from home now!" Shi Zhen stepped forward the moment he saw Shi Lin, grabbed Shi Lin's ear, and said angrily to him.
Shi Zhen was also disappointed in him. The Douluo Continent was far more dangerous than he had imagined; it was far too easy for danger to arise.
"Dad, it hurts, it hurts! I had no choice. There's no future in staying at home, so I had to go out and explore. Look, I found a lot of good stuff this time!" Shi Lin said to Shi Zhen while crying out in pain.
"That's no excuse for taking risks. Alright, don't do it again next time. You only have everything if you're alive," Shi Zhen said to Shi Lin irritably.
"Hehe, thanks for your guidance, Father. Now that our Shi family has Shrek Academy as a partner, our safety issues are completely resolved. But do we still have enough gold soul coins to build an academy?" Shi Lin frowned and asked Shi Zhen.
Shi Lin was also worried that building an academy would require a lot of money, which would affect the Shi family's economic chain.
"Don't worry, after you left, I used the wine Gu you gave me to double the size of our Shi family's winery. All the wine produced was sold. Even if we gave half to Yan Jin, it would be enough for our own use, and the rest would be enough to build a new Shrek Academy. Don't worry, we're not short of money," Shi Zhen said with a smile to Shi Lin.
"That's good. Money makes all the difference. By the way, Dad found something good. Take a look." Shi Lin took out a whole box of soul power crystals from his personal space.
This thing can indeed accelerate cultivation. Shi Lin doesn't plan to use it himself, but rather to help his father improve his cultivation level as quickly as possible.
Curious, Shi Zhen opened the box, looked at the crystals inside, and asked Shi Lin a question.
"This is a good thing. It's called a Soul Power Crystal. Absorbing one crystal is equivalent to cultivating for a day. I made them all myself. Dad, you're getting old. After absorbing these Soul Power Crystals, try to break through your cultivation level as soon as possible." Shi Lin introduced the Soul Power Crystals to Shi Zhen and then said to him.
"This..." Shi Zhen stared wide-eyed at Shi Lin in disbelief, never expecting that Shi Lin would actually create something so good.
With this, Shi Zhen was confident that he could break through to level ten within six months.
"Son, you should use this. Your old man is getting old. Even if I work hard to cultivate now, my future achievements will be limited. You are different. You are still young." Shi Zhen pushed the box back to Shi Lin.
"Dad, there will be plenty of things like this in the future, so just focus on your cultivation. We both need to have strong cultivation levels," Shi Lin said earnestly to Shi Zhen.
Although Shi Zhen lacks talent for cultivation, with the increasing number of special Gu worms in Shi Lin's possession, he will surely become a top-tier Soul Master.
After hesitating for a while, Shi Zhen finally took the box.
There are more than ninety soul power crystals inside, enough for Shi Zhen to cultivate for a period of time.
Shi Lin has successfully cultivated the Heavenly Crystal Lotus. Once the Heavenly Crystal Lotus matures, the soul power crystals in Shi Lin's hands will be produced continuously.
"Oh, right, I also prepared some gifts for you, kid. Come on, let's go take a look." Shi Zhen smiled at Shi Lin, then turned and led Shi Lin in another direction of the secret passage.
Although Shi Lin was puzzled, he still followed Shi Zhen and walked deeper into the secret passage. In order to prevent danger, the Shi family had made the underground secret passages interconnected and highly concealed.
A dozen minutes later, Shi Zhen led Shi Lin to a heavy stone gate.
Shi Zhen gently pressed the mechanism, and the heavy stone door slowly opened.
As the stone door opened, a chilly aura rushed out.
At the same time, Shi Lin also smelled a strong stench of blood.
"Dad, a soul beast corpse?" Shi Lin asked Shi Zhen excitedly.
"Let's go in and take a look." Shi Zhen smiled and shook his head, seeing Shi Lin's excited expression.
Shi Lin rushed into the room.
In the center of the room were the corpses of more than thirty different types of soul beasts. Around the room were four wooden stakes emitting a chilling aura, suggesting that this was a warehouse used for preservation.
Shi Lin stepped forward and examined the corpses of the soul beasts.
There are soul beasts of various attributes, which means that Shi Lin can increase the number of Gu worms in his possession.
After carefully examining all the soul beasts, Shi Lin finally only took out two fire-attribute soul beasts.
There are no space-attribute spirit beasts here, since space-attribute martial spirits are relatively rare, so the corpses of space-type spirit beasts are relatively scarce.
"Don't take them all?" Shi Zhen asked Shi Lin.
"I won't need this many materials in a short time. I know where this place is now, so I can just come and get them whenever I need them," Shi Lin said with a smile to Shi Zhen.
"Alright, you've got a good idea. You went out for a stroll, are you tired?" Shi Zhen stepped forward, smiled, patted Shi Lin's hair, and asked softly.
"Mmm," Shi Lin replied, his eyes also moist.
"Go back and get some rest. The distillery will be expanded in a while, and you'll need to get me another batch of wine Gu," Shi Zhen said to Shi Lin as he sat down.
"No problem, Dad. Oh, right, there's something else I haven't shown you yet." Shi Lin suddenly remembered that he had something good.
So he took out a jar of Hibiscus Wine from his personal space and handed it to Shi Zhen.
Shi Zhen was taken aback when he saw the wine jar that Shi Lin handed him. Could it be that this kid had come up with something new?
Shi Zhen opened the wine jar.
A refreshing fragrance wafted over.
"Hibiscus Wine!" Shi Zhen exclaimed in surprise.
Shi Zhen never expected that Shi Lin would be able to get his hands on this thing.
Hibiscus Wine is far more expensive and rarer than the flowing water that the Shi family is currently brewing.
"The stuff is good, but we can't just sell it directly. We need to mix it up." Shi Zhen nodded and then extended his hand to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin sighed helplessly, then handed the premium floral-scented Wine Gu in his hand to Shi Zhen.
"Not bad. It's not enough as a base liquor, but it's sufficient if you're just using it for flavoring." Shi Zhen nodded and then put the floral-scented Wine Gu into his pocket.
