“Father, aren’t you going to eat it?”
“I’m at an age where I should be enjoying a peaceful and quiet retirement. Why would I need to take this?” Old man Lin laughed.
“In that case, all these divine items should go to eldest brother, second brother and fifth brother. As long as they are here to protect us, we actually don’t need these.”
Lin Rong gave a shy smile, revealing a pair of excessively cute dimples. The other girls echoed in agreement.
Their temperament was inherited from Mrs. Zhang. By nature, they didn’t like fights and killings.
“If so, that’s fine.” Old man Lin pondered for a moment before nodding his head.
The Dragon Elephant Strength Pill was significant and could rapidly increase one’s strength. Strength was crucial in the Wilderness. Rationally speaking, it should indeed be given to those who can maximize its effects.
With the last Inferior Dragon Elephant Strength Pill in his hand, Old man Lin’s gaze wandered between Lin Zhuang, Lin Chen, and his fifth son Lin Rui, eventually settling on Lin Zhuang.
“Eldest, you have the most accumulated effort over the days. This last one is for you.”
With a grand wave of his hand, Old man Lin handed the last Inferior Dragon Elephant Strength Pill to Lin Zhuang.
“Thank you, Father.” Lin Zhuang’s face was full of excitement.
Though Lin Chen and the Lin family’s fifth son Lin Rui may be envious, they didn’t have any objections. After all, Lin Zhuang being their elder brother isn’t only due to birth order, but also his recognized strength.
Jiang Hui had been observing every move of Old man Lin and the others all along.
Just as Old man Lin had considered, he gave these products to him not only because they were of no use to him, but also because Jiang Hui wanted to take this opportunity to assess Old man Lin’s abilities.
Now seeing it, it was satisfactory. Though not superior, definitely adequate.
The distribution of the Inferior Dragon Elephant Strength Pills has maximized the overall strength of Liu Village to the greatest extent.
As for Old man Lin suddenly scolding his most loved daughter Lin Xin Tong, and not giving her a single one of the seven Inferior Dragon Elephant Strength Pills, this surprised Jiang Hui quite a bit. But he had heard Old man Lin criticize Little Eight Lin, and he did have a point.
Although Lin Xin Tong has the strongest gift, she has been spoiled too much and is irresponsible, always self-centered. The things she does every day are even more outrageous than the naughty children in Jiang Hui’s previous life.
If such a character is not corrected in time, as she grows up, she will inevitably be unable to listen to reason, and will be insubordinate and disrespectful; she might even cause greater trouble, which will be unpredictable.
So what if she has a good gift? Even though a bird of dull talent may not necessarily be the first to fly, a bird that is lazy and self-willed will definitely not go far.
Although talent can determine some innate factors, it cannot control one’s whole life.
Jiang Hui highly regards the Eighth Son of The Lin family, but he won’t bother with a spoiled and pampered young lady.
On the stony path.
After the distribution of the items, everyone did not leave. They stood still, their gaze once again drawn to the area covered in white mist.
Compared to before, the white mist is denser now, and its height has increased. From the gaps in intersecting mists, one could vaguely see traces of piled-up stones.
After a while, the slightly harsh clanging sounds suddenly ceased.
Including Old man Lin, everyone present had fiery gazes.
Living in the Wilderness, the method to tell time was through the sun.
Although this method was not very precise, it did have some use.
Old man Lin had just taken a look, it had been about an hour from the time the Rhombus Token was buried to now.
It seemed to confirm his guess.
In the air.
Not long after that clanging sound stopped, the dense mist around them visibly thinned. In the next moment, a series of large square-shaped buildings made from huge stones penetrated the mist, slowly coming into the view of
Old man Lin and the rest.
The house constructed by the Junior House Construction Order was two hundred square meters. In addition to shielding from wind and rain, the interior was fully equipped with basic facilities such as tables, chairs, and beds, all ready for occupancy without moving.
Nightfall, the moonlight was hazy, casting a slightly bone-chilling coldness in the air.
Now stepping into early winter, there will be heavy snowfall after some time.
At this moment, at the foot of the mountain.
Five substantial houses made of huge stones were neatly lined up in a cluster, forming a pattern resembling the four directions east, west, south, and north. This brought a few strokes of rugged beauty to the night surroundings.
At the moment, inside one of the houses, candles were illuminating brightly. Inside the house.
After getting Little Eight Lin Xin Tong to sleep, Mrs. Zhang walked straight to Lin Meng. After thinking about it for a while, she decided to embark on a second night talk.
“Old man, are these houses truly conjured up by Lord Willow God?”
Disbelief was still on Mrs. Zhang’s face. She had left early and had not witnessed the miraculous transformation of the token into a house.
“Of course, to be precise, this is the result of the items blessed by Lord Willow God. Wife, do you remember those Rhombus Tokens?” Old man Lin nodded his head, without the intention of beating around the bush. “These houses are transformed from those divine items!”
“You mean, those… hidden weapons?” Mrs. Zhang frowned in concentration, recalling the past. If it hadn’t been for Little Eight crying to play, she might not have remembered so vividly.
“Yes, that one, but it’s not a hidden weapon, rather it’s a treasure that can transform rotten into miraculous, known as the Junior House Construction
Order.”
“The Junior House Construction Order?” Mrs. Zhang muttered a few times, showing a sudden realization, “No wonder you didn’t want Little Eight to play with it at all costs, so it was such a treasure.”
“What you said… Even if that thing was just a piece of junk, as long as it’s a reward from Lord Willow God, Little Eight should under no circumstances mess with it.” Old man Lin glanced at the sleeping Lin Xin Tong, then looked at his wife, and said displeasingly.
“You old geezer, it’s all in the past, why bring that up again!? Little Eight is just a child after all.” Mrs. Zhang pretended to be angry.
She too was genuinely respectful towards Jiang Hui, but Little Eight was her child, who she had carried for ten months before giving birth to. Lin Meng’s roughness in daily life increased the difficulties, which were known only to her. She didn’t have any other thoughts, she just didn’t want her precious daughter to be bullied.
“Alright, alright, I won’t mention it anymore.” Old man Lin waved his hands, indicating his surrender.
Over the years, he never won a single argument. He had summed up experiences early on that it was better to surrender early for pleasant conversation. If he remained obstinate, he might even lose the chance to sleep on the comfortable bed tonight.
Moreover, the woman before him had suffered a lot for him over the years. Being a man, he was more than willing to give in privately.
Mrs. Zhang, being someone who would retreat when she got the upper hand, did not dwell on it. Instead, she changed the subject: “Old man, today I heard our eldest and second say that each of those black small pills can effortlessly increase strength by 20,000 jin?!”
“Indeed, that’s divine medicine, personally given by Lord Willow God, how could it be common?!” Old man Lin replied.
“If it is such a good thing, did you reserve one for our Little Eight?” Mrs. Zhang’s eyes lit up..
