Chapter 61 Going Home
After returning to the Soul Hunter Town, Shi An easily booked three rooms.
It was getting late, so Shi Lin and his two companions decided to rest for the night in the Soul Hunter Town before setting off again early the next morning to return to the Shi family.
Under normal circumstances, Shi Lin and his two companions can leave the Soul Hunter Forest by noon if they set off in the morning, and if they work hard, they can return to Shi Family Village before midnight.
However, before leaving the Soul Hunter Forest, Shi Lin found materials from the Golden Horned Rhinoceros, broke off a lot of bamboo leaves, and collected a lot of branches and leaves from plant-type soul beasts along the way.
This delayed things until nightfall, and in the end, they could only spend the night in the Soul Hunter Forest.
After returning to his room, Shi Lin took off his clothes and jumped directly into the bucket of water. The hot water made him groan with pleasure.
During their time in the Soul Hunter Forest, Shi Lin and his companions endured considerable hardship. They had no means of bathing and spent most of their time sleeping on the ground and then immediately traveling and fighting.
Tired, dirty...
This is the norm in the Soul Hunter Forest.
"I've really had great luck this time! Top-grade wine Gu, top-grade pocket Gu, breath-concealing Gu! And so many soul beast materials. I've already refined all the Gu worms I wanted to make this time!" Shi Lin sat in the bathtub, stroking his chin and smiling, recalling the Gu worms he had obtained in the Soul Hunting Forest.
This time, Shi Lin brought out everything he wanted when he entered the Soul Hunting Forest.
Next, he will slowly absorb what he brought out from the Soul Hunting Forest.
He used a top-grade wine Gu to make his father and Uncle Fugui become Soul Masters.
At the same time, they are acquiring large quantities of various soul beast corpses...
One idea after another surfaced in Shi Lin's mind; there was still so much to do.
Half an hour later, Shi Lin got out of the bathtub, dried himself off, changed into his pajamas, and went straight to bed.
After all, they still have to travel tomorrow.
The next morning, Shi Lin got up early, followed closely by Shi An and Lin Yu, who also woke up early.
After having breakfast in the town of Soul Hunter, the three of them boarded a carriage and headed straight for Notting City.
It took Shi An from setting off in the morning until sunset for him to drive his horse-drawn carriage to Shijia Village.
They returned to the Shi family's courtyard.
Looking at the familiar courtyard, Shi Lin couldn't help but break into a bright smile.
I'm home!
I'm finally home!
"Brother An, Lin Yu, you two put the things in my lab. Don't bother tidying them up, I'll do it myself. After you're done, go back and rest. You've worked hard these past few days," Shi Lin instructed Shi An and Lin Yu.
"Yes, young master!" Shi An and Lin Yu replied, and then went to get busy.
After watching Shi An leave, Shi Lin went directly to Shi Zhen's study.
It wasn't completely dark yet, and Shi Zhen was probably still reading in his study.
Shi Lin pushed open the study door and, sure enough, Shi Zhen was there reading.
"Dad, I'm back!" Shi Lin opened his arms and smiled at Shi Zhen.
"Hmm? You little brat, you're finally back. Are you alright? How are you feeling?" Shi Zhen immediately put down his book and came to Shi Lin, carefully examining him.
"Dad, I'm not hurt at all, everything's fine. This trip went very smoothly," Shi Lin said with a smile to Shi Zhen.
"That's good, that's good... My son has lost weight! He's gotten darker! And he's gotten stronger!" Shi Zhen looked at Shi Lin and breathed a long sigh of relief, then laughed heartily and said.
Shi Zhen felt very proud to see his son grow up.
However, during this time, Shi Zhen lived in constant fear, worried that something might happen to Shi Lin in the Soul Hunting Forest, since Shi Lin and his two companions hadn't brought any outside help this time.
Fortunately, Shi Lin returned unharmed.
"Have you eaten? I'll have the cook make you something to eat." Shi Zhen stood up and prepared to go out to prepare something for Shi Lin.
"Dad, come into the secret room! I have something to tell you." Shi Lin tugged at Shi Zhen's sleeve and said to him.
Although Shi Zhen was puzzled, he still closed the door, opened a secret room, and led Shi Lin downstairs.
After entering the secret room, Shi Lin took a bamboo tube from his waist and placed it on the table in front of him.
"What is this?" Shi Zhen asked Shi Lin in confusion.
"This is a top-grade wine Gu, Dad! With this, you can start cultivating!" Shi Lin poured the large, plump top-grade wine Gu out of the bamboo tube and pointed at it, saying to Shi Zhen.
"Cultivation? Don't be ridiculous. I'm already way past the age when cultivation is most suitable. This thing should be able to improve cultivation talent. You should take it back and make a contract with it yourself." Shi Zhen was stunned for a moment after hearing Shi Lin's words, but he recovered and pushed the top-grade wine Gu towards Shi Lin.
Shi Zhen knew that this thing could only be of the greatest value if it was placed on Shi Lin. He was already this age and no longer dared to hope to become a Soul Master.
Shi Lin knew that his father wanted to keep all the good things for himself and wouldn't easily accept the top-grade wine Gu.
"Dad, there's not much difference between a top-grade wine Gu and a superior-grade wine Gu. The only difference between a top-grade wine Gu and a superior-grade wine Gu is that it can turn an ordinary person into a soul master. The amplification effect is basically the same," Shi Lin patiently explained to his father.
"This..." Shi Zhen hesitated. After all, he had wanted to become a powerful Soul Master when he was young, but his Martial Soul did not allow him to become a Soul Master.
"Take it, Dad," Shi Lin continued to persuade Shi Zhen.
"Well... alright then." Shi Zhen finally accepted the exquisite wine Gu.
"There are two top-grade wine Gu here, Dad, do you want to give one to Uncle Fugui?" Shi Lin took out another bamboo tube and handed it to Shi Zhen, asking him to distribute them.
"Okay, your Uncle Fugui is trustworthy." Shi Zhen nodded, agreeing to hand over the top-grade wine Gu to Fugui.
Before becoming rich, he was a slave. His entire family was slaughtered by the army, and he was eventually sold into slavery. He was the only one left in his family, and he had a very strong sense of belonging to the Shi family.
That's why Shi Zhen trusted him.
Although Shi Lin felt that no one could be trusted and wanted to persuade Shi Zhen, he hesitated and did not say anything, after all, Fugui had made a great contribution to his family.
"Come on, Dad, I'll help you contract a Gu worm, then you can start cultivating," Shi Lin said with a smile to Shi Zhen.
"Come on." Shi Zhen, also feeling uneasy, sat down next to Shi Lin.
Shi Lin slashed through Shi Zhen's healing spell, then used Shi Zhen's blood to draw a formation for a contracted Gu worm.
Shi Lin injected his soul power into Shi Zhen's body, and then activated the contract. Shi Zhen successfully formed a contract with the Supreme Wine Gu.
