Chapter 67 Shi Zhen Becomes a Soul Master
Seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.
During these seven days, Xiao Tianhe was directly warned by his superiors because of Yan Jin's intervention.
The imperial edict ordered Xiao Tianhe to lead the guards of the city lord's mansion to begin wiping out the bandits near Notting City, but eight out of ten of the bandits near Notting City were his family members.
Even though it's just for show, you still have to pretend to be very busy.
Therefore, Xiao Tianhe had no time to deal with the Shi family during these past few days.
During this time, Shi Zhen also took advantage of the opportunity to contact ten caravans using a special method and explained the distribution plan to them.
After hearing that there was profit to be made, the caravans agreed to Shi Zhen's plan, so now the Shi family's wine no longer needs to be escorted by Shi Zhen or anyone else.
You can make money just by sitting at home.
As for Shi Lin, he has been busy cultivating and eating beast meat to increase his strength these past few days.
While Shi Lin was cultivating today, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside his bedroom.
"Young Master, Young Master, the Master is looking for you." Shi An's voice came from outside.
Hearing that it was Shi An's voice, Shi Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I was really scared when I was ambushed last time; these sudden footsteps are the scariest thing ever.
"Brother An, wait a moment. I'll be right out." Shi Lin slowly exited his cultivation state and walked out of his room without tidying up much.
When Shi Zhen went to see Yan Jin last time, he asked Shi Lin for a long leave, since the assassination attempt had left Shi Lin with psychological trauma and he needed to rest for a while to recover.
As soon as Shi Lin came out of the room, he saw Shi An dressed in full armor, holding a hammer, and looking around warily.
"Brother An, the Xiao family won't be targeting our family anytime soon. You'd be better off using this time to cultivate your skills; strength is the most important thing," Shi Lin said to Shi An in a somewhat annoyed tone.
"No, young master, I have to ensure your safety." Shi An shook his head repeatedly, as the last incident had left him with psychological trauma.
"By the way, did my dad say he wanted to see me about something?" Shi Lin shook his head helplessly at Shi An's expression, then asked him.
"I don't know, young master, but maybe it's because of a move. The master sent some valuable items to an estate near the brewery," Shi An said, scratching his head uncertainly.
Listening to Shi An's words, Shi Lin was basically certain that his father wanted to move, and that he was probably almost done moving.
"Brother An, go back and pack your things, we might have to leave here." Shi Lin waved to Shi An, then walked past Shi An toward the study.
Although Shi An was puzzled about what had happened, he knew that Shi Lin would not lie to him, so he immediately returned to his room and began packing his things.
Soon, Shi Lin arrived at the study, where Shi Zhen was pondering the next steps for modifying the manor.
Although the Shi family currently lacks the ability to resist these Soul Masters, they can only design some mechanisms to protect themselves and their families.
After all, as long as the green hills remain, there's no fear of running out of firewood!
"Dad, you wanted to see me?" Shi Lin said without any hesitation, sitting down in a chair not far from Shi Zhen.
"Son, let's get ready to move. The estate near the brewery is ready for people to live in. It's safer there, so we can move there directly. There are more secret rooms and passages there, which will greatly improve security," Shi Zhen said to Shi Lin with a smile, waving the blueprints in his hand.
"Dad, the manor over there is ready to use in such a short time. It seems you had been preparing for this all along." Shi Lin sat down casually and raised an eyebrow at Shi Zhen as he spoke.
"Of course, we already had plans to move." Shi Zhen nodded, readily admitting the matter.
"I visited Yan Jin yesterday, wanting to expand the scale of the brewery. After all, these caravans need a lot of wine each time, and our current brewery is simply not enough. So we hired five construction teams, and we can have these workers go and work on our family's estate first," Shi Zhen said earnestly to Shi Lin.
"Five construction teams! No wonder it was so fast. Alright, Dad, I'll pack my things now and be ready to leave at any time." Shi Lin nodded, then prepared to stand up and leave.
"Wait, son, look at this." Shi Zhen suddenly called out to Shi Lin.
Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhen slowly stretched out his hand, and as he released a burst of soul power, an iron cauldron with extremely high corrosiveness appeared in Shi Zhen's hand.
This is a square iron cauldron, but the four sides of the cauldron have been corroded so much that only a few pillars remain.
Shi Lin knew that this was his family's ancestral martial spirit.
More importantly, Shi Lin could clearly sense that a faint soul power was emanating from this broken iron cauldron.
More importantly, one part of this iron cauldron has actually been repaired!
"You became a Soul Master in just seven days, Dad, you're fast!" Shi Lin also showed a shocked expression.
Shi Lin never expected that his father could actually become a Soul Master in just seven days.
Moreover, Shi Zhen was very busy every day during these seven days, so his cultivation time should not be too long.
Shi Lin didn't know why. Could it be that his father was a hidden genius?
However, it is something to celebrate that my father became a Soul Master.
"Father, now that you've become a Soul Master, I'll give you another hand to help you improve your cultivation speed." Shi Lin opened the bamboo basket at his waist, took out two high-grade bitter wine Gu from it, and handed them to Shi Zhen.
These two Gu worms were originally used by Shi Lin himself, but just now, after hearing Shi An's footsteps, he changed the contracted Gu worms.
"Can I contract two more Gu worms?" Shi Zhen looked up and asked Shi Lin with surprise in his eyes.
"Of course." Shi Lin did not hesitate at all and began to help Shi Zhen form a contract with the Gu worm.
A dozen minutes later, Shi Zhen completed the contract. Now Shi Zhen has contracted two high-grade bitter wine Gu and one top-grade wine Gu.
"Dad, I'll go pack my things now. What time are we leaving tonight?" Shi Lin noticed the joy on Shi Zhen's face and asked.
"We'll be leaving first thing tomorrow morning. Make sure to take as much as you can with you, as we don't know how long we'll be in there," Shi Zhen said earnestly to Shi Lin.
"Understood, Dad. I'll go pack my things now and leave first thing tomorrow morning." Shi Lin nodded and then left the study.
After watching Shi Lin leave, Shi Zhen quickly closed the door and then began to try to cultivate using the three wine Gu.
"This is too fast!" Shi Zhen exclaimed excitedly as he felt the change in his cultivation speed, jumping up from the ground.
