Chapter 1504: Chapter 1504: Rebirth Through Facing Death

The reason Xu Xianrong is feeling cold all over now, even her blood circulation is poor, is entirely due to the backlash from her Charming Skill.

According to Xu Xianrong, the initial symptoms were just weakness all over and a low fever. Later, she was brought back to Xu Family Stream, where she stayed in this room to recuperate. Eventually, her body grew cold, and even her Spiritual Qi couldn’t circulate.

If Xu Shoujiang hadn’t been channeling Qi for her every night, Xu Xianrong would have died long ago.

Even now, Xu Xianrong feels there isn’t a single spot on her body that isn’t cold. She even says she wants to jump into a fire pit.

A Golden Core expert would never say such words unless pushed to the brink; she even has thoughts as dangerous as committing suicide.

Lin Tian also has no solution. Not even acupuncture works. However, fortunately, Yu Yang gave some suggestions, advising Lin Tian to prepare a medicine, which might help.

Lin Tian is very concerned about Xu Xianrong. It’s not because of her stunning beauty, but because she’s Xu Miaoxiu’s aunt. When Miaoxiu previously talked about Xu Xianrong’s ailment, her tears were ready to fall, an appearance truly heartbreaking.

Preparing medicine is not possible right now because it’s already dark, and some herbs need to be collected during the day.

That night, Lin Tian lay alone on the bed, eyes open, continuously recalling the image of that savage bull in his mind. And the Chaos Eye in its brow, how exactly to pierce it?

Thinking and thinking, no solution came, and instead, his eyelids grew heavier. He hadn’t rested well these days, and gradually fell asleep soundly, his snoring thunderous.

...

Early the next day, Lin Tian began preparing the medicine. Some herbs needing freshness were fetched by others, while Lin Tian focused solely on preparing the medicine.

Liou Qingcheng, Bai Shishi, Mei Ruyan, and Miaoqiu were all by Lin Tian’s side, occasionally picking up a herb to sniff it, then playfully bantering among themselves, an atmosphere brimming with cheer.

Lin Tian suddenly felt this kind of life seems quite good.

At this moment, people arrived at the house. In Xu Family Stream, there were hardly any strangers, and the visitors were known to Lin Tian: Xu Shoujiang and Xu Beishan.

Xu Shoujiang, already at a venerable age around one hundred and forty, still walked steadily. If Lin Tian were compared to a lion on the prairie, then Xu Shoujiang would absolutely be a mammoth with long tusks, that kind of solidity creating an unparalleled aura.

Xu Beishan followed behind Xu Shoujiang, himself only in his forties, prime years, yet his brow contained a heavy murderous air.

With such a significant figure as Xu Shoujiang present, naturally, Xu Shaohui and Xv Baiping greeted them immediately, very respectfully inviting them in for tea.

Xu Shoujiang gestured to Lin Tian in the courtyard, calling out loudly, "You come in too."

Actually, Lin Tian hadn’t interacted much with Xu Shoujiang, just met a few times, and drank tea a few times. The impression he gave Lin Tian was one of immense gravity, absolutely respectable as an elder.

On Xu Shoujiang’s person, there lingers a pride that others don’t possess.

Since Lin Tian acquired the Elder position, aside from people from the Wang Family, no matter their status or strength, they all must call him Mr. Lin upon seeing him.

Only Xu Shoujiang is different; he is eccentric, while maintaining ample respect for Lin Tian, still calling him ’kid’.

This is absolutely not because of Xu Miaoxiu’s ties but is inherent to his personality. Xu Family members share this temperament, albeit less forcefully than his.

Moreover, Lin Tian can tell, the main purpose of these two visiting today is precisely to talk to him.

Explaining briefly to the four confidantes about the importance of these herbs, Lin Tian washed his hands and followed them indoors.

Sitting at a long tea table, Xv Baiping brewed tea for the four, her demeanor graceful and very gently. After the tea was prepared, she proactively withdrew.

Just like in ancient royal palaces, where the harem doesn’t participate in politics, Xv Baiping also doesn’t join their conversation, nor does she listen in.

Xu Shoujiang raised his tea cup, leisurely took a sip, and then very casually placed it down again. This unexpectedly gave Lin Tian a strong sense of contrast. Lin Tian thought, Xu Shoujiang ought to be holding a large bowl, gulping down fiery liquor to match his character, the contrast with sipping tea so minutely was truly stark.

"Last night, while channeling energy for Xianrong, I heard her say you want to deal with the savage bull in the stream?" Xu Shoujiang raised an eyebrow and asked.

As he finished speaking, Xu Beishan was completely breathing heavily, as if something was stuck in his chest that couldn’t be expelled.

Lin Tian understood he was like this for two reasons. One, he harbored resentment within. Two, he was like a headless chicken, having lost a sense of direction.

Lin Tian nodded, "Yes. My power has reached a bottleneck. That savage bull’s body is a treasure, containing what might let me safely pass the bottleneck."

Since Xu Shoujiang didn’t ask why he brought his family along to Xu Family Stream, Lin Tian was too lazy to explain. After all, talking about Wang Xingkong’s matter wouldn’t be very useful. What would Xu Shoujiang do even if he knew?

Eventually, Xu Beishan couldn’t hold back. His tiger mouth clasped the teacup tightly, making cracking sounds as he glared and said, "Lin Tian, if you have the courage to kill that savage bull, I, Xu Beishan, admire you! However, I can’t provide much help; it’s a subject I don’t dare to discuss with clan members, the shadow looms heavy."

"But I can go with you! I would die without regrets. I know my high-ranking Martial Arts capabilities are really just a drop in the bucket, but better than nothing, at least I can support your battle. If I die, the patriarch position can only request big brother to continue."

Saying this, tears welled up in Xu Beishan’s eyes, as he clasped fists to Xu Shaohui, eyes full of resolution.

Xu Shaohui sighed lightly, ultimately saying nothing.

What could he say? Among the southeastern siblings, Xu Nanhai had turned into an old lady because of the fox eyes. Xu Dongxu disappeared after leaving with the Martial Sect. Xu Xichao was gored into two halves by the bull’s horn.

Only Xu Beishan remained safe and sound, witnessing the tragic fate of his siblings, tilting his psyche as well.

"However!" Xu Beishan paused, continuing, "You must reserve the bull’s three eye beads for me. Nanhai’s body needs them. Consider it my plea!"

A steadfast man, eyes still reddening, large tears gushing forth, which he wiped away with a sleeve.

The most valuable part of that savage bull? Certainly, it’s the Chaos Eye in its brow, not only its weak spot, but akin to Lin Tian’s Golden Core in importance.

But Lin Tian gritted his teeth and agreed, "No problem!"
