460: Chapter 456: Extrely Clever, Balding to the Heavens (First Update!) 460: Chapter 456: Extrely Clever, Balding to the Heavens (First Update!) The piece in his hand, resembling a white vine, was a genuine dragon whisker.
Its texture was sowhat coarse, and upon closer examination, one could faintly sense an ancient and vast aura winding from within.
Dragon whiskers shed from the body of a real dragon were unspeakably precious.
Every ti Lin Tian used his True Qi and Essence Blood in conjunction with Samadhi True Fire for the refinent, it seed he could hear the dragon’s and the tiger’s roar.
Thinking about turning this thing into a magical whip weapon, he still had so regrets in secret.
If he could integrate it with Evil like Xiaotian, with the power of a true dragon, the might of Evil like Xiaotian’s attacks would leap to a significantly higher stage.
However.
For the sake of Wu Yan, Lin Tian could only resolutely give it up.
And the difficulty of refining the dragon whisker into a whip magical artifact was substantial.
Judging by the current progress of the refinent, it would take at least half a month of nonstop work.
Lin Tian urgently needed to create the whip magical artifact, after all, Evil like Xiaotian had fused with the Soul Nourishing Jar containing Wu Yan’s soul.
In ordinary battles, Lin Tian could use it with peace of mind, as long as it did not exceed the Spiritual Artifact Level, there were few artifacts that could damage Evil like Xiaotian.
But, better safe than sorry.
In a crisis or a desperate situation, it was very possible for the sword to be destroyed and the soul to perish.
Therefore, Lin Tian urgently needed a second combat magical artifact.
All through the night, Lin Tian focused solely on refining the dragon whisker.
The following day.
Early in the morning, Lin Tian rushed to the Tianzi Group.
Not seeing Xu Tangge arriving at the company on ti, after the last assassin incident, Mooo Xiaoyan was sowhat uneasy.
Upon learning of Lin Tian, she hurried over.
“Sister Yan, Tang Ge is delayed and can’t co to the company for now!
I’m here to pick up sothing for her, and she asked to let you know!”
Before Mooo Xiaoyan could ask, Lin Tian spoke up first, “The company’s affairs will be temporarily up to you, I’m going to her office to get so stuff!”
With that, Lin Tian was already heading upstairs to Xu Tangge’s office.
Mooo Xiaoyan watched Lin Tian leave, her cherry lips slightly parted as if to speak, but she couldn’t get the words out in ti.
She had a vague feeling sothing was amiss but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.
Lin Tian entered Xu Tangge’s office and imdiately closed the door behind him.
“That old man Xu Jingsheng, he must have handed the Ancient Map to Tang Ge, and since it’s not on her person, that leaves only this office and her forr residence at Minghu Lakefront District!”
Muttering softly to himself, Lin Tian’s vast Divine Sense enveloped the entire office, ticulously beginning to search every inch.
But after scouring the whole office, even sending his Divine Sense down through a tiny crack in the floorboards, he found nothing related to the Ancient Map.
Needless to say, the Ancient Map was most likely no longer at Tianzi Group.
Lin Tian left the company and drove to the Minghu Lakefront District, the place where Xu Tangge once lived.
With assassins continually appearing, this place had beco unsafe, and Xu Tangge had simply never lived here again.
Lin Tian did not enter the villa but stood at the lakefront and directly shrouded the entire villa with his Divine Sense.
After a thorough search, he still found nothing.
“To ensure the safety of Tang Ge, is the affair of the Ancient Map just a diversion?
It seems Xu Jingsheng has really put a lot of thought into this!”
Withdrawing his Divine Sense, Lin Tian sighed, giving up the search.
Perhaps the Ancient Map wasn’t with Xu Tangge at all.
Thinking this, Lin Tian turned around, intending to leave the Minghu Lakefront District.
“Mu Lengzi!”
Just as Lin Tian had turned, a surprised voice ca from the side.
Muuu Lengzi?
How co that na feels so familiar!
Lin Tian, who had just turned to leave, halted in surprise when he heard the shout.
However, he didn’t stop walking since it was obviously not his na being called.
But then, another voice followed.
“It’s been so many years, and you’re still calling people by their rustic childhood nicknas.
They’ve probably forgotten those nicknas in so hidden corner!”
It was a woman’s voice, tinged with a hint of complaint, before she called out to Lin Tian, “Lin Tian, is that you?”
Upon hearing his na, Lin Tian finally stopped and turned around.
What he saw were three people, a middle-aged couple and a rather pretty girl of about fourteen or fifteen.
“Ha ha, it is Muuu Lengzi, just like when you were little; those eyes, that nose, that face, almost as if you were carved out from the sa mold as our village’s Lin Zhenyu!”
The middle-aged man laughed heartily as he recognized Lin Tian, and brought the elegant lady and their daughter closer.
“Who are you?”
Seeing the family of three who appeared to know him, Lin Tian was filled with confusion.
“Muuu Lengzi, don’t you recognize your Uncle Guo?
Guo Hetong from Phoenix Town, Youlan Village!”
The middle-aged man, with his protruding belly, chuckled, “Rember now?”
Hearing this, Lin Tian was stunned, and then the buried mories slowly beca clear.
He glanced at the top of the man’s head and suddenly understood.
The middle-aged man in front of him, nad Guo Hetong, was a fellow townsman from Youlan Village.
What made him distinctive was his bald head.
Yet, oddly enough, a circle of sparse hair grew around the sides of his head, making the bald spot at the top stand out even more, like a dry, round pond.
When they were kids, everyone in the village used to call Guo Hetong “Tongtian Tu.”
That was because the elders used to say he was so smart that his intelligence reached the heavens, hence the baldness!
And indeed, Guo Hetong later on lived up to his widely known nickna, becoming the first high school valedictorian from Phoenix Town and successfully gaining admission to Huaxia’s premier science institution—Huaqing University.
Years later, Guo Hetong went on to beco a renowned businessman in the Southern Continent.
Soon, he started contributing to the developnt of his hotown, and every ti he returned, the village kids began to fondly call him Uncle Tongtian!
Guo Hetong didn’t mind and graciously accepted the nickna.
Many years passed, and Guo Hetong married the most beautiful girl in town, who was a few years older than him, and they went abroad, never to be heard from again.
However, for Lin Tian, what remained most vivid in his mory wasn’t Guo Hetong’s nickna but the fact that he married his father’s first love—Bei Zhiqi.
With this thought, Lin Tian’s gaze inevitably drifted towards the elegant middle-aged woman.
Bei Zhiqi, the forr beauty of Phoenix Town, had beco like a fairy tale character among the village children.
And even now, in her forties, she still retained her elegance and beauty.
“Xiao Tian, it really is you!
I’m your Aunt Bei, do you still rember?”
Bei Zhiqi stepped forward and ran her hand over Lin Tian’s head, sighing, “When I left, you were still wearing buttoned-up trousers.
We all called you Muuu Lengzi.
You were so adorable back then!”
Feeling soone patting his head, Lin Tian felt awkward and involuntarily stepped back, saying, “Uncle Guo, Aunt Bei, it’s been so many years; I never expected to run into you here!”
“You’re still so shy when your aunt pats your head, just like when you were little!”
Bei Zhiqi laughed softly and shook her head in resignation.
“Yes, indeed, this kid was so silly when he was little!”
Guo Hetong laughed and added, “But you know, thinking back to when you kids used to call Uncle Tongtian, it’s hard to believe that it’s already been over a decade!”
“Dad, Mom, why do you call him Muuu Lengzi?”
At this mont, the young girl who had accompanied Guo Hetong and Bei Zhiqi cast a curious glance at Lin Tian and asked in confusion.
