360 Chapter 360
The man could naturally feel the situation with his body and knew that there was nothing that could be done, so he said, "Ah Lin, it'll be up to you to run the family from now on."
Xu Lin's eyes filled with tears when he heard this and he said, "Father, no, it's not your time yet. There's still more, eat some more and it'll work."
After saying this, he brought more Cloud Lingzhi out of his Spatial Ring which he placed in front of his father, but his father just shook his head.
Xu Lin's father said, "There's no point, I know my body's condition. You should save these for the future."
Xu Lin wasn't willing to give up as he said, "Father, you can't give up now. I need you, the Xu Family needs you, we all need you."
Xu Lin's father gave a sigh before saying, "I never thought that our Xu Family would end like this, but there's still a bright side. I've already talked to your uncles and they've all agreed to abandon this place and bring you to the True Spirit Sect to meet the elder. As long as you have the artifact, you'll be able to become the disciple of the elder. With your talent, I believe that you'll be able to get revenge for us one day."
Xu Lin shook his head and said, "Father, what are you saying? You can't just give up like this."
Xu Lin's father was silent for a bit before finally noticing Lin Fan. He gave an awkward cough before saying, "This friend, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to greet you properly. May I ask who you are?"
Xu Lin also realized that Lin Fan was in here with him and he hadn't introduced him at all, "Father, this is Senior Lin. He was the one who saved us in the Green Mist Forest and helped us obtain the Cloud Lingzhi…"
But then Xu Lin's tone suddenly changed as if he had realized something, "Senior Lin, do you have a way to save my father? Without my father, there is no Xu Family and there's nothing for you to obtain."
Xu Lin's father was confused by this as he asked, "Ah Lin, what do you mean by that?"
But Xu Lin didn't have time to care as he was completely focused on Lin Fan's reaction.
Lin Fan had been silent on the side the entire time since he had been observing Xu Lin's father's situation.
The way the poison moved around his body, it was something that Lin Fan had read about before.
Without saying a word, Lin Fan turned and headed to the door.
Xu Lin was shocked at first, but then he quickly followed behind Lin Fan, leaving his father to sit there in a daze, wondering what was happening.
When Lin Fan came out of the room, everyone turned to look at him, but seeing who he was, they all felt disappointed and returned to their matters.
Lin Fan didn't care about them either as he headed over to where Momonga was and asked, "Do you remember the recipe for the Cleansing Cloud Pill that you tried to teach me before? Give it to me again."
Momonga was surprised to hear this at first, but then he remembered something and he gave a nod before taking out a piece of paper and a pen.
This was a pill that Momonga had tried to have Lin Fan make when he had been teaching him alchemy, but since they didn't have the ingredients back then, they hadn't been able to make it. Since that was the case, they could only forget about it.
The main problem was that the ingredients needed for this pill were mainly found in the upper realm and they were hard to obtain in the lower realm. However, now that they were in the upper realm, that wasn't a problem.
Especially since they had already obtained the main ingredient, the Cloud Lingzhi.
It was only then that Xu Lin came out of the room as well.
This time, the crowd outside the room reacted completely differently to when Lin Fan had come out.
Xu Lin's second uncle immediately came forward and asked, "Xiao Lin, how is your father? Did you cure the poison with the Cloud Lingzhi?"
Xu Lin had been focused on Lin Fan, so he was surprised when he heard this, but then he said while shaking his head, "It didn't have any effect…" After saying this in a sort of a daze, he turned his attention back to Lin Fan.
While his family members were anxiously discussing what to do now that their only hope had failed, Momonga had finished writing down the recipe.
Lin Fan took it and went over to the crowd, moving through it until he was right beside Xu Lin. It was then that he said, "Find me all the ingredients on this, do it as quickly as you can if you want to save your father."
Before Xu Lin could even say a thing, his second uncle came forward to point his finger in Lin Fan's chest and said, "That's enough out of you. We've already been kind enough to let you in here, but now you're making these claims that you can save the big brother? I won't let you get away with things like this even if you did save Xiao Lin."
Lin Fan gave a sigh as he looked at the second elder before he prepared to turn to leave. Since that was the case, there was no need for all this trouble. Anyway, when the Xu Family was destroyed, he could still come back and take what was his, there was no need for him to put in all this effort.
Though, there was a bit of pain in his heart since that Servant Needle had cost him quite a bit.
If he could, it would be best if he could take the artifact and send Xu Lin to where the elder was.
Besides, it seemed like the elder was in the True Spirit Sect, right where Liao Family was...That would be quite the chip to have…
But before Lin Fan could leave, Xu Lin suddenly came forward and said, "Second uncle, I won't let you do this."
Xu Lin came in front of Lin Fan and said, "Senior Lin is the one who saved my life and he already promised that he would help our Xu Family. If we turn him away now, where would our face go?"
The second uncle had a vein pop out on his forehead as he said, "Xiao Lin, you…you...you unfilial son! You're colluding with outsiders now? After all our Xu Family has given you? Do you even remember that the one lying in the bed in that room is your father!"
Xu Lin's face was covered with sadness when he heard this before he said, "Second uncle, it's because it's my father in there that I have to do this. I've seen Senior Lin's abilities before and I know what he can do, that is why I'm doing all this. I beg you to believe in me this one time." After saying this, he gave a bow to his second uncle.
His second uncle just looked at him with a shocked look and said, "You...you...you…"
While this was happening, the other old men on the side began trying to convince the second uncle as well.
"Old second, this is the first time Xiao Lin has asked for anything. Let's trust him this time."
"Old second, you know what kind of person Xiao Lin is. He wouldn't joke about something like this."
"Old second…"
The second uncle looked at all of them and slowly his firm look fell apart.
That was the thing with the Xu Family, unlike those families with true power, because they were a family without that much power, there wasn't as much infighting amongst them. There might be a few people in the same generation who were rivals with each other, but they never developed any animosity between them.
The second uncle finally gave a snort and said, "Do what you want!"
But after that, he didn't forget to glare at Lin Fan and say, "I'll be watching you carefully. If you dare do anything to betray Xiao Lin's trust or hurt big brother, I won't let you off, even if it means dying with you!"
Then he was about to storm off, but then he realized that he wouldn't be able to watch over Lin Fan if he did, so he came back and stood on the side with a grumpy look on his face.
Xu Lin just had a bitter smile on his face.
He wanted to trust Lin Fan, or rather, he had no choice but to trust Lin Fan since Lin Fan was holding a piece of his soul.
While that piece of his soul being destroyed might not kill him, there was still a very good chance that it would completely cripple him…
Xu Lin turned back to Lin Fan and said with cupped hands, "Senior Lin, please help my father."
Lin Fan had already stopped and turned around to watch all of this. He did feel a bit emotional since he had to admit that the Xu Family was a good family, even if the second uncle was a bit stubborn, it still meant that he was thinking about his big brother.
Lin Fan just pointed at the paper and said, "Get the ingredients that I need and then we'll talk."
