Lin Yu, at the Second Level of the Clarity of Breath Realm as a Taoist Spiritual Child, such cultivation and rank represented the lowest rank of cultivators even in this era of declining spiritual energy. Even among his peers, Lin Yu was not an outstanding figure at present. At least Lin Yu was certain that Su Yu, who was a chosen one in cultivating truth and refining qi and was extremely diligent, was at least at the rank of a Junior Spiritual Platform Master by now. After all, in the past, the levels of their efforts were completely incomparable.
The "Celestial ? Measuring Ruler" could exert its effects and power more effectively as the host's cultivation level increased. For a lowest-level and mediocre cultivator like Lin Yu, it was already quite good that the Measuring Ruler was willing to measure and read out the basic information. As long as Lin Yu made great progress in his cultivation in the future, not to mention these most basic ability data, even the detailed cultivation progress and the tendency of the cultivation system, the Measuring Ruler could provide clear data and plans, enabling Lin Yu to have a clearer and more definite understanding of himself.
Don't underestimate these simple words like "clear and definite". Many cultivators lost their lives, and some even had their souls scattered and couldn't be reincarnated just because they couldn't clearly recognize themselves or others.
Holding the "Celestial ? Measuring Ruler" that he had obtained decades in advance, Lin Yu giggled foolishly while calmly envisioning his future in his mind. After all, with the memories of more than thirty years in the future, if he didn't plan well for himself, it would be a waste of the superiority of being a reborn person. Just then,
A dull but loud "bang" sounded, and immediately the entire room shook violently. Lin Yu, who was sitting on the bed, almost fell off the bed due to the impact.
Just then, there was a "click" sound of something breaking. Lin Yu couldn't help but look up above his head. He saw the huge, crystal-clear chandelier above him swaying unsteadily, and then suddenly it crashed down, hitting him right on the head. At this time, Lin Yu was weak and in poor physical condition, and he couldn't withstand this at all. He was immediately pressed down by the huge chandelier.
"Is this what they call 'extreme joy begets sorrow'?" Lin Yu vaguely thought of this question in his mind, and then he fainted.
The next day, in the territory of the Blood Soul Clan in Qinwang Ridge, several aunts and two clan guards were gossiping on the street. "Hey, have you heard? Last night, 'Iron Beast of the Lin Family', Lin Tiefeng, broke through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining in his own basement. When his Gang Qi rushed into the sky, it even collapsed his own house. It's said that his third son was directly buried inside, and they're still rescuing him." Goodness!
"That's not it. I heard that after Lin Tiefeng broke through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, because of his profound foundation, he directly condensed and solidified the fifth great supernatural power of a cultivator. And in his excitement, he used it, creating gusts of Gang Wind and a surging spiritual pressure. Lin Tiefeng's combat power was too high, and the Gang Qi from his palm wind rolled up to the upper floor, directly knocking the third young master of the Lin family silly." This is really astonishing! "Have you heard? Lin Tiefeng, the deputy leader of the combat group and known as the 'Iron Beast of the Lin Family', broke through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining last night and became the fifth great cultivator in our Blood Soul Clan who is expected to forge a cauldron and establish a foundation at the Ninth Level of Qi Refining."

"I also heard that the reason he could break through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining was that he used evil magic, sacrificing the life of his third son as an offering to push his cultivation to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. Alas, it's really cruel. Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs. But sacrificing one son to directly break through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining doesn't seem like a loss. Why don't we go back and try it?" This is simply absurd!
"Listen to this! Listen to how people are spreading these rumors outside. Why did I marry such a fool like you! You're not successful in cultivation. It took you more than ten years to break through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining. And you're not successful in your official career either. You've been the deputy leader of the combat group for nearly ten years, and you're still just a deputy. Tell me, it's really a waste that I married you when I was as beautiful as a flower in my prime."
As she spoke, Lin Yu's mother picked up a large frying pan and violently hit Lin Tiefeng on the head. Fortunately, the title of "Iron Beast of the Lin Family" wasn't just for show. Lin Tiefeng had excellent skills in cultivating both his body and his Dharma. Even without using spiritual energy, the defensive power of his physical body was quite strong. The frying pan made a "clang clang" sound when hitting him, but Lin Tiefeng didn't even get a scratch.
Watching Lin Yu's mother waving the frying pan wildly and hitting the renowned Lin Tiefeng, who looked innocent and helpless, Li Shishi just covered her mouth and giggled. She seemed to find the scene both familiar and interesting. However, Lin Yu, who was injured beside them, felt a bit embarrassed.
"Come on, Mom. Even if you want to teach Dad a lesson, you should pay attention to the occasion. Shishi is right here. You didn't even greet her."
At this time, Lin Yu was wrapped in white bandages. Last night, when Lin Tiefeng broke through to the Ninth Level of Qi Refining, the spiritual energy rushed into the sky and shook the surroundings. It directly shook down the old and dilapidated chandelier on the roof of Lin Yu's bedroom, which hit Lin Yu right on the body. Fortunately, Lin Yu, as a cultivator with some cultivation, instinctively avoided the vital parts. Although he was scratched all over by the broken glass and had some superficial injuries, they were just skin-deep wounds and wouldn't leave any serious sequelae.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Lin Yu's biological mother, Li Shi, froze as if she had just realized something. She quickly put down the frying pan in her hand and wiped her hands on her apron. Then she came over to greet Li Shishi with great enthusiasm. If it were the former Lin Yu, he might not have noticed anything, just thinking that since both of them were from the Li clan and had a close relationship, they were naturally friendly. But now, Lin Yu had already absorbed the experiences and spirit from his future self thirty years later, and his vision and understanding were quite different. In his eyes, the way his mother treated Li Shishi with such closeness and concern was clearly the strange look of a mother-in-law sizing up her future daughter-in-law — there was even a strange green light in her eyes.
Thinking about all the good times between Li Shishi and his mother in the past, Lin Yu felt an inexplicable sense of horror. It turned out that these two women had formed an alliance at some unknown time and had already set their sights on him. Goodness! At this time, his physical age was only eleven years old. Although the marriage traditions of the Blood Soul Clan were closer to the ancient ways, and many people had children in their teens, if Li Shishi had already had such thoughts in the past, then this girl's planning and scheming for him were really far-reaching.
Looking at the appearance of his mother and Li Shishi showing such "deep affection like that between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law", Lin Yu felt that the hairs on the back of his neck were almost standing on end. Thinking carefully, if Li Shishi hadn't accidentally died a few years later, the woman he would most likely marry would indeed be this Li Shishi.
