"This... I don't know either." Under the watchful eyes of several clan leaders with considerable cultivation, the village chief felt even more pressured.

Chief Zhao used force to pry open the green rice in his hand, put it in his mouth, and felt a different spiritual energy than that of regular green rice. The spiritual energy in this green rice seemed to be purer.

His eyes lit up, and he looked abruptly at the village chief: "I wonder who owns this spirit field? Would the village chief be so kind as to take us to visit them later?" Chief Zhao asked.

Seeing Chief Zhao's appearance, the other two chiefs also asked the village chief to pay them a visit.

Only Qian Zhong remained silent, because he knew who had planted the green rice.

"Alright, we can discuss this later. Right now, we should find out what's wrong with this place as soon as possible," Qian Zhong said.

The remaining three clan leaders refocused their attention and instructed their men to search the area for anything unusual.

Qian Zhong extended his divine sense, but after a long time he still couldn't detect any movement.

He asked the other three clan leaders, but they all shook their heads, and he returned home disappointed.

Two people were kneeling in the main hall of the Lingxiao Sect.

If Lin Jingge were here, she would definitely recognize one of them as the male lead's third confidante—Yunxi.

"Father, I really didn't provoke that fifth-tier demon beast!" Yunxi glared at her senior brother who was talking nonsense.

Their trip should have been safe, but unexpectedly, a fifth-tier demonic beast appeared, resulting in the death of one disciple of the Lingxiao Sect and injuries to ten others.

Everyone unanimously said that Yunxi had provoked a fifth-tier demon beast, which led to the scene of Yunxi and her senior brother kneeling in the main hall.

"Are you sure that a fifth-tier demonic beast appeared in a village with sparse spiritual energy?" The second peak master, who was sitting on one side above, suddenly stood up and asked.

Perhaps out of shock, he was unable to control his oppressive aura for a moment, causing unbearable suffering to those standing and kneeling below.

The middle-aged man sitting in the middle waved his hand, instantly dispelling the oppressive aura.

“I can confirm it’s a fifth-tier demon beast!” Senior Brother Yunxi said.

“I was the last one to leave. I heard from the people of Lingyun City that it was some kind of dragon bone beast.” A disciple who was standing stepped forward and told him everything he knew.

The three peak masters and the sect leader above exchanged a glance.

If it really is a fifth-tier dragonbone beast, that place should be...

A great treasure has been born!

Many people treat the description of the Dragon Bone Beast as a legend and forget it as soon as they hear it, but knowledgeable peak masters and sect leaders do not think it is a legend.

They saw dragons when they were young!

If it really is a dragon bone beast, then the treasures in that place must be related to dragons!

Thinking of this, everyone's enthusiasm grew even stronger.

...

In Qingyun Village, the four clan chiefs, having obtained no useful information, followed the village chief to Lin Jingge's door.

"Grandma Mu, are you home?" The village chief knocked on the door and called out into the house.

Grandma Lin came out and opened the door, only to find the entrance packed with people.

"Village chief, what is this...?" Granny Lin took a step back.

Lin Jingge pulled Lin Shu out the door, and after Grandma Lin took a step back, the scene outside the door was exposed.

"These four are the patriarchs of the four major families in Lingyun City. They've come to see you," the village chief said, leading the group into the courtyard and introducing them to Granny Lin.

"Looking for me?" Granny Lin asked in surprise.

"It's like this, I would like to invite you to join my Zhao family..." Before the Zhao clan chief could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the Sun clan chief.

The three clan leaders vied to invite him, a scene that was only seen once in a century.

Qian Zhong glanced at Lin Jingge, but remained completely calm and didn't say a word.

What a joke! He offered such generous terms, and the Mu family wasn't tempted. How could they possibly be swayed by just a few words from the three clan leaders?

"Have you misunderstood something?" Lin Jingge asked.

Everyone's attention was drawn to Lin Jingge. The three clan leaders, seeing that she had an ordinary appearance and her cultivation level was only at the Spirit Entry stage, stopped looking at her and instead noticed Lin Shu, whom she was holding hands with.

That child was so exquisitely beautiful.

However, they did not sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from the child, and immediately withdrew their attention.

"Tell me your requests, as long as you're willing to join my Zhao family!" Clan Chief Zhao turned his gaze away first and said to Granny Lin.

Grandma Lin took a few steps back, stopping beside her granddaughter, and asked Lin Jingge, "Do you want to join?"

In the end, no matter how they invited her, Grandma Lin refused.

The four clan leaders wanted to persuade them further, but the messenger slips on their bodies started to move.

Buy that sacred field!

The messages from the four clan leaders rang almost simultaneously; they had all received messages from their ancestors.

His tone was serious and cautious, which gave an idea of ​​how important the land was.

Then the four clan leaders went to the village chief to buy land.

With the clan chief gone, their people naturally followed suit.

As the crowd dispersed, Grandma Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandma, I feel something's strange," Lin Jingge suddenly said, watching the departing figure.

"What's wrong?"

"There are many wood-type cultivators who can cultivate spiritual plants. The four major families of Lingyun City should not lack wood-type cultivators. Why are they vying to invite Grandma to join them today?"

Grandma Lin didn't know the reason either, so she could only wait for Lin Jingge to continue.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be related to the spiritual roots of our Lin family!" Lin Jingge's words were not without basis. According to the data transmitted by Xiaoshi, she discovered that the spiritual plants she and Granny Lin cultivated were different from those of others.

When it comes to anything related to the Lin family's spiritual root, Granny Lin is always particularly careful. After looking around and not seeing anyone suspicious, she pulled Lin Jingge into the house.

After closing the door, he said, "Our Lin family's spiritual roots are passed down to daughters, not sons. Therefore, our family does not marry off daughters, but only recruits sons-in-law."

At this point, Granny Lin, worried that Lin Jingge might believe the heartbreaking story about Chu Wang, glanced at her, and seeing that she seemed unaffected, sighed before continuing:

"The Lin family had already declined by my grandmother's generation. The inheritance I received was incomplete. The Lin family's inheritance is all in the pharmacopoeia. I am not very talented, and even now, I have only opened a few pages of the pharmacopoeia."

In the end, it all came down to the pharmacopoeia.

It seems the pharmacopoeia is truly important to the Lin family, but how can they get it back now that it's already in the male protagonist's hands?!

Lin Jingge lowered her eyes, deep in thought.

Chu Wang is the chosen one of this world, the darling of Heaven, while she is nothing more than cannon fodder.

"The Lin family has declined, and the pharmacopoeia is gone, so be it." Grandma Lin had long accepted this fact. Although she still felt uneasy talking about it now, she was more afraid that her granddaughter would get stuck on it.

"Grandma, I will get the pharmacopoeia back!" Lin Jingge said earnestly.

After asking Granny Lin, she still couldn't figure out the matter of the Lin family's spiritual root, but the arrival of those clan leaders today served as a wake-up call for Lin Jingge.
