287 Discovery of the Strange Stone

Hearing Ye Jin’s request, Lin Ran couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Firstly, he didn’t know what Ye Jin wanted to do. Secondly, the cultivation methods of the martial artists of the two countries were completely different. Even if he wanted to teach her, he didn’t know where to start!

“What do you want to do after you become a master?”

“I don’t know.”

Ye Jin shook her head, but the determination on her face did not decrease at all. “But I want to be powerful first. This way, I can do whatever I want.”

“You can do whatever you want?”

Lin Ran suddenly felt that it was a little funny, but at the thought that the person in front of him was only a teenager, he felt that it wasn’t so funny.

After a moment of silence, Lin Ran said with a serious expression, “I don’t know the cultivation method of the martial artists of the Great Yong Dynasty, but I should be able to find someone to teach you. However, you have to promise me something.”

“What is it?”

“Don’t seek revenge.”

Lin Ran said seriously, “No matter who you hate, you can’t seek revenge.”

Ye Jin’s expression changed for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. “I promise you.”

Lin Ran didn’t say anything and just stared into Ye Jin’s eyes. After a while, she smiled helplessly and said, “I know what you’re thinking. I don’t want you to seek revenge because I don’t want you to be obsessed with it. This won’t be good for your cultivation…”

As soon as he said that, Lin Ran was suddenly stunned by his own words and lost in thoughts.

Ever since he entered the sixth level of the Half-Saint Realm, his cultivation had not increased for a long time. Could it be because he was too obsessed with something?

However, how could it be so easy to let go of one’s obsession?

He continued. “Don’t look at me like that. I know you’re angry, but just because I asked you to not seek revenge doesn’t mean that you need to let the matter rest.”

Ye Jin retracted her gaze and looked puzzled. “What do you mean?”

Lin Ran pointed at Mount Xianyong not far away. “Find the ores your father mentioned first. After we go back, I’ll take a look at his condition. Perhaps he still has a chance to recover.”

“Really?”

Ye Jin was immediately excited.

“As long as you can cure my father, I promise you that I won’t seek revenge!”

Ye Jin said seriously, but this was what Lin Ran was most afraid of. This was because he didn’t even know what condition Ye Jin’s father was in. How could he make a promise so easily?

However, Lin Ran didn’t say anything. It wasn’t easy for him to calm Ye Jin down. If he told the truth now, it would only be counterproductive. Besides, it wasn’t like there was no hope at all!

Then, the two of them walked towards Mount Xianyong.

After walking for a while, Lin Ran turned around and frowned slightly.

Noticing Lin Ran’s abnormality, Ye Jin asked in confusion, “What’s wrong? Is someone here?”

“No, it’s quite safe around here.”

Lin Ran shook his head, the confusion in his eyes intensifying.

At that moment, he clearly sensed Liu Hongshan’s sword intent appear nearby, but he did not appear. He only lingered a few kilometers away before heading south.

“Could it be that he has something to tell me?”

Lin Ran guessed so because if Liu Hongshan was just passing by, he had ways to make his presence unnoticeable.

Just as Lin Ran was in deep thought, a scream suddenly pulled him back to reality.

“What happened?”

Lin Ran quickly turned to look in the direction of the scream and saw Ye Jin standing on the top of a low slope, pointing at something below in fear.

Seeing that Ye Jin was fine, Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief. He rushed up the slope and looked in the direction Ye Jin was pointing, but apart from a dense patch of weeds, he didn’t see anything.

“What do you see?”

Lin Ran asked again. At the same time, he narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, but he still didn’t find anything.

“It’s that kind of stone!”

Ye Jin shouted excitedly, “The stone my asked me to find!”

Before Lin Ran could understand what was going on, Ye Jin had already rushed down the slope. Only then did Lin Ran realize that the weeds here were terrifyingly tall. Ye Jin’s height almost reached his shoulder, but the moment she rushed in, she was covered up by the weeds.

This situation gave Lin Ran an ominous feeling. As he released his divine sense, he chased after Ye Jin and rushed into the weeds.

After chasing for a while, Lin Ran saw Ye Jin squatting on the ground as if she was digging something with all her might.

“Can you make yourself clear first? What exactly is the…”

As Lin Ran spoke, he walked to Ye Jin’s side. Before he could say the word “stone”, he couldn’t continue.

Ye Jin had dug out a lot of the soil on the ground. Lin Ran could see a stone sticking out of the soil. The rough surface was suffused with a dark green luster and looked a little like metal.

Lin Ran’s expression gradually changed. Although the shape was a little different, why did this green stone look like the trash he had seen in the city?

“This is—”

Lin Ran probed. Before he could finish, Ye Jin nodded, clearly knowing what he wanted to ask.

In this short period of time, Ye Jin had already dug a large hole in the ground.

The full appearance of the stone was revealed from the soil. It was about the size of half of Lin Ran’s body and had a strange shape.

However, from its position in the soil, before it was dug out, only a fist-sized part of the stone was exposed above the ground. Ye Jin still saw it through the dense weeds. Even Lin Ran had to admire her eyesight.

“What the hell is this?!”

Lin Ran asked tentatively. Although the shape of this stone was very different from those scraps, he could still tell that it was the same thing.

Ye Jin shook her head and didn’t say anything. Lin Ran didn’t know if she didn’t know or didn’t want to say it. He frowned at the green stone, as if he was thinking about something.

...

After a full fifteen minutes, Ye Jin turned to look at Lin Ran. “Do you have to reforge that sword of yours?”

Lin Ran didn’t answer directly. Instead, he looked at Ye Jin and asked, “About this stone… Do you know something you didn’t tell me?”

“Actually, I don’t know much.”

Ye Jin said awkwardly, “When I returned home while my father was forging sabers, my house was filled with this ore, but Uncle Zhao told me to hide as far away as possible when I see this ore in the future.”
