Moreover, he only intervened three times and was not asked to revitalize the Zhou family. At most, he was only asked to prevent the Zhou family lineage from being cut off. The difficulty of the operation could be great or small. On a large scale, he could intervene to protect the development of the entire Zhou family. On a small scale, he could simply protect one or two people and protect the continuation of the Zhou family bloodline. For him, the latter would be a piece of cake.
This way, you can obtain three treasures ahead of time, each of which is extremely valuable...
However, the first proposal is actually the most valuable, and its value is even immeasurable!
The legacy of a Golden Core cultivator naturally includes three treasures. Furthermore, he devoted his final days to guiding the disciple… making their value immeasurable!
This would be an incredible opportunity for anyone!
But naturally, different choices come with different responsibilities!
There was no reason to refuse either of these two proposals, and Lin Xiuyuan did not intend to reject them entirely.
The only question is which one to choose...
Lin Xiuyuan pondered for a moment, feeling somewhat undecided.
The Zhou family patriarch was not in a hurry. He stood with his hands behind his back, watching Lin Xiuyuan quietly, waiting for him to make a choice.
He felt absolutely certain of this.
The value of these two proposals is such that no one would have much room to refuse them!
However, the final result was somewhat unexpected by the Zhou family patriarch, who had assumed Lin Xiuyuan would choose the first option...
"Thank you for your high regard, Your Majesty. In that case, I will choose the second suggestion!"
After considering it, Lin Xiuyuan bowed respectfully.
The Zhou family patriarch glanced at Lin Xiuyuan and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After all, this was the mantle of a Golden Core cultivator, not to mention that he was also the patriarch of the Zhou family, with thousands of years of heritage.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiuyuan was able to resist the temptation... His resolve is truly unwavering!
However, Lin Xiuyuan will almost certainly never return to the Zhou family.
This is truly one of the greatest regrets since the Zhou clan was founded!
After all, while the second proposal may seem very tempting, how could its value and benefits compare to the first proposal?
Clearly, Lin Xiuyuan didn't want to shoulder this responsibility.
Such a great temptation could not sway Lin Xiuyuan's mind, which shows that it is basically impossible for the Zhou family to bring Lin Xiuyuan back into the family genealogy.
The Zhou family patriarch sighed inwardly, but his regret didn't last long.
He naturally hoped that Lin Xiuyuan would choose the first suggestion, but since Lin Xiuyuan made a choice, although it was not the best answer, it was still considered to have achieved his goal.
The first proposed plan was naturally to use great temptation to win Lin Xiuyuan back to the Zhou family!
If that doesn't work, then the second suggestion, along with the blood ties between the two sides, can be kept as a backup plan to ensure the continuation of the Zhou family!
Furthermore, this can also ease tensions between the two sides.
The clan leader and elders' decisions, which had been repeatedly manipulated by Lin Xiuyuan, had already caused some disloyalty.
This move provides some relief and incidentally offers the Zhou family a safeguard and a way out.
Therefore, this explains why the Zhou family patriarch did not feel much regret after seeing Lin Xiuyuan make his choice and realizing that it was highly unlikely he would return to the Zhou family.
Moreover, the Zhou family patriarch had prepared more than just this one contingency plan... so naturally, he couldn't place all his bets on Lin Xiuyuan. However, this guarantee was the most reassuring. Other contingency plans might have flaws, but the possibility of flaws in Lin Xiuyuan's case was very small!
Although the two sides are not very close, they are still related by blood. It is believed that as long as Lin Xiuyuan grows up, they will not stand by and watch him die. However, the extent to which they can help is up to fate.
But that's enough.
Even if Lin Xiuyuan agrees to return to the Zhou family now, it won't bring much of a chance to break the deadlock; at most, it will only slightly alleviate the terrible situation.
After all, although Lin Xiuyuan is a prodigy, it still takes time for him to mature...
But he could no longer buy time...
"From now on, regardless of whether you two are the greatest talents or not, I believe the Han family will not make things too difficult for you. As long as you don't actively get involved in the big picture, you can focus on your cultivation... It's not your stage yet, but sooner or later, this world will have a place for you. Until then, cultivate diligently. I hope you can keep your promise."
The Zhou family patriarch smiled and casually tossed out a Qiankun bag.
Lin Xiuyuan reached out and caught the Qiankun bag. As he listened to these words, he seemed to understand the hidden meaning behind them. He was stunned for a moment and looked at the Zhou family patriarch with a slightly surprised look in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, Lin Xiuyuan cupped his hands and said, "Rest assured, Grand Ancestor, although I aspire to the path of immortality and have thus purified my mind and reduced my desires, I will keep my promise. I will never fail in fulfilling my commitment!"
Upon seeing this, the Zhou family patriarch nodded with pleasure, laughed heartily, waved his hand, and then departed.
Lin Xiuyuan stood there, watching the Zhou family patriarch's escape light disappear before his eyes. After a long while, he couldn't help but sigh.
Immediately, a look of excitement flashed across his face as he opened the Qiankun bag to take a look.
With a flash of light, a jade bottle appeared in his hand.
Through the jade bottle, one can clearly see a round, jade-like pill. The entire pill is pure white and flawless, with a shimmering light flowing across its surface, and some patterns sparkling through it.
"So this is the high-grade Jade Marrow Pill... Then my preparations for breaking through to the Purple Mansion stage are more than half complete!"
