"Oh, Young Master Lin, you give this old man too much face." Mo Han waved his hands repeatedly and said humbly, "I only know a few healing thods, nothing worth your esteed Family's attention. I don't deserve to be called a doctor. Just call Mo Han."
Lin Yan's gaze deepened. He rembered this person. Twenty years later, in order to extend his lifespan, he would target Han Li and try to refine him into a Rank 3 Human dicine Gu. However, Han Li was a Child of Luck and killed him instead.
That would beco the starting point of Han Li's rise.
"The Human dicine Gu is a Rank 3 Gu, and as a longevity-type Gu, it is extrely rare. This man is only Rank 2, far from enough. That ans he must have a clue to a Rank 4 or Rank 5 inheritance."
Lin Yan thought as he looked at the still-young Mo Han. He wondered if that inheritance had already been taken. If not, then this opportunity would naturally go to whoever could seize it.
If the other party had already obtained it, then he would decide based on the situation. But if Mo Han still tried to use children to refine Gu for longevity, killing him would not bring any burden.
On the surface, however, Lin Yan said humbly, "I wouldn't dare. I'll just call you Senior Mo."
He spoke politely with Mo Han for a while, not revealing anything, then returned to the Family's station. He only kept a quiet watch on him.
At this mont, Mo Han looked at Lin Yan's departing back, his brows slightly furrowed. He felt uneasy. This Shan Family disciple suddenly ca to Han Family Village… could he have discovered that inheritance too?
Then jealousy rose in his heart. Less than a year after opening his aperture, and already at Rank 1 Peak. He had spent most of his life and still couldn't reach that.
Was it just because Lin Yan was from a big Family?
"One day… I will also rise above others." Mo Han's heart burned again. Even at his age, his fighting spirit had not faded.
On the other side, Lin Yan walked lightly. Not only had he confird the tiline, but he had also found a clue about a Legacy. In this world, without a Legacy, it was very hard to move forward.
There was a common practice in the Gu World. Whether righteous or demonic, when people were about to die, they would leave behind a Legacy, passing on their thods and ideas.
Because of this, Legacies appeared everywhere. There were always stories of people rising in one step after finding one. At the start of the original story, Qing Mao Mountain had a Rank 5 Legacy. Shajing Oasis likely had one as well.
Lin Yan felt so anticipation. He planned to gather people and explore it after the newcor competition. He passed more than ten villages and soon saw the area around Wen Lake. There were many large courtyards and busy streets. This was the Shan Family's main base, where only family mbers usually lived.
Lin Yan's parents had once owned a three-part residence here, with front, middle, and back courtyards. It even had an artificial lake connected to Wen Lake and many servants to take care of it.
After their death, the residence passed to Lin Yan. Thinking about this, a faint smile appeared on his face. In his previous life, even a small room was hard to get, but now he lived in such a place easily.
Lin Yan arrived at his residence. Two strong guards stood in front of the red wooden gate. When they saw him, they paused for a mont, then quickly bowed.
"Young Master, you're back." They pushed the door open at once. Inside, the maids had already heard the news and hurried over.
Among them, a graceful woman stepped forward, followed by several maids. She looked at Lin Yan and said gently, "Young Master, this trip must have been tiring. You've beco more steady. It seems the journey has tempered you well."
"Aunt Liu, thank you for taking care of everything at ho."
Lin Yan took a breath. With his mories, everything here felt familiar. This woman was his mother's personal maid, soone she trusted deeply. Now, she managed the entire residence.
"It's nothing," Aunt Liu said softly. "You're the one who has worked hard, managing things at such a young age."
She then turned to the maids. "Prepare hot water and food for Young Master." After that, she smiled. "You've just returned, so rest well. I won't disturb you."
Lin Yan felt at ease. Aunt Liu was still as thoughtful as ever. He walked alone through the large mansion, watching the faint white mist rising from the lake. After being used to the heat of the desert, the warm air here felt familiar. Among the three lakes of Shajing, Wen Lake was always hot like a natural spring.
"An artificial lake in a desert… a bit wasteful," Lin Yan shook his head. He didn't care much about such things and turned toward his room. He wanted to try breaking through to Rank 2 before the newcor competition.
The Shan Family valued this competition a lot. The top thirty would each receive five hundred prival stones. The top ten would get one thousand. The top three would receive one thousand stones and a Rank 2 family Gu.
Lin Yan had already set his goal. He wanted to win and prepare for his Rank 2 resources. At the sa ti, in the center of Wen Lake, on a small island, several pavilions stood in the mist, giving a quiet and distant feeling.
A young woman stood in one of them. She had delicate features and a calm, confident presence. She was one of the three A-grade talents of this generation in the Shan Family—Lin Qingyao.
