Third Elder was so shocked he couldn’t think about anything else.

Those five, thick, light green lines were undoubtedly bright and clear — this person was already a Refining Qi Stage fifth layer cultivator, also, it was very likely for him to become an alchemist!
You must know, an alchemist’s status may not be on par with craftsmen in the Five Continents’ mainlands, but it was still a notch above the rest. The Lin family only has one alchemist, and it was a Madam who had married into the family from the outside!
Silence.
The whole place fell dead silent.

Yan Tianhen had truly shocked the world with his unexpected results here.
“How could it be?” Lin Yangzhi cried out involuntarily.
Lin Yaer was covering her mouth as well. She stared in disbelief at the Yan Tianhen who had already reached the fifth layer of his Refining Qi stage. Her impoverished powers of imagination would have never led her to predict that Yan Tianhen, who was still obviously a good-for-nothing just awhile ago, would turn into a Refining Qi stage fifth layer cultivator in just a few days. Moreover, he had the potential to become an alchemist!
Lin Zezhi’s face turned green. He gritted his teeth in silence.
Dual elements, wood and fire, alchemist, how could this be?
Yet Lin Xuanzhi asked in his consciousness, “Can you sense the demonic Qi?”
“Hehe.” Soul Bead laughed indifferently, “That kid really is clever. He might not have been able to deceive Benzun, but it’s more than enough to trick those cultivators who haven’t even reached the earth level and that testing stone.”

“So….”
“He did cultivate the devil’s path.” Soul Bead came to this conclusion.
Slight sorrow arose in Lin Xuanzhi’s heart. Was it that no matter how hard he tried to change someone’s destiny, he would still be unable to refute heaven’s will?

He looked at Yan Tianhen, who stood atop the high platform with an obstinate look on his face, and uttered an almost imperceptible sigh.
“However, you don’t need to be so dejected.” Soul Bead said, “First of all, let’s just put aside how demonic or elemental cultivation is merely a method of entering Dao, and only people within the Five Continents who haven’t seen seen much of the world would impose such a distinction; let’s just talk about that kid — he is also an alchemist! The alchemist path has never been categorised as being either righteous or demonic. With this cover, unless he meets an earth-level cultivator, he won’t be seen through at a glance.”
Lin Xuanzhi closed his eyes and nodded slightly, “Every cloud has a silver lining.”
Yan Tianhen turned around and looked downwards, “So? I’m a Refining Qi Stage fifth layer cultivator. Do you guys have anything to say about my Dage giving the entry permit to me?”

Even…even if they were dissatisfied, it would be useless now.
After all, Yan Tianhen had already reached the fifth layer of his Refining Qi Stage, so he was absolutely eligible for the competition.
“What else do you guys have to say?” Yan Tianhen appeared very proud and self-satisfied. He looked really cocky as he puffed his chest out and stood ramrod straight.

“You’re already a Refining Qi Stage fifth layer cultivator, so you don’t need the entry permit anyway!” Someone had noticed a problem very quickly.
“That’s right, you don’t need to take another place ma!”
“You can participate in the Hundred Families Gathering through normal means, why must you have the entry permit?” A Lin family pupil said unhappily.
Yan Tianhen uttered a hng, then jumped off the platform and walked over to Lin Xuanzhi’s side. He rolled his eyes, “My surname isn’t Lin, and I’m not part of the Lin family. Even if I’m qualified, I would still need the entry permit to join the Hundred Families Gathering as someone from the Lin family. It’s not like you guys don’t know this.”

“You’re too reserved! Your food, clothing, accommodations and travels are all taken care of by the Lin family, and your father treats you just like he would his own son, so how could you not be a member of the Lin family?”
“That’s right. Tianhen, you’re already considered part of the Lin family. We’re extremely supportive of you joining the Hundred Families Gathering as a member of the Lin family.”
“Yeah, Uncle Lin Zhan said a long time ago that you’re his son, so you’ve always been part of the Lin family.”

When he listened to all these people overturn their words so quickly, a huge grin broke out on Yan Tianhen’s face, “I’m not recorded in the Lin family’s family tree. I’m just my Dage’s younger brother, and my Dad’s son. Other than that, there is nothing else, and even if you want me to write my name down in the family tree now, I wouldn’t~”
All of them who hadn’t wanted him to have any sort of relationship to the Lin family at all now truly wished that he would just get on the family tree straight away just so that he could give up a place for them. How ridiculous.
Yan Tianhen was in the middle of immersing himself in his satisfaction, but his heart was still thumping wildly with apprehension.
Lin Xuanzhi looked at Yan Tianhen with an apathetic expression.

Yan Tianhen rubbed his nose out of guilty and thought, it’ll probably be tough to get through today.
Lin Xuanzhi cast a glance at him as he remained expressionless, then turned around and left.
“Dage, wait for me!” Yan Tianhen called out.
However, Lin Xuanzhi had already walked far away with quick steps.
“Ai!” Yan Tianhen sighed with a gloomy face.
“What are you sighing for? Don’t you know how cool and amazing you were just now?” Lin Yan slapped Yan Tianhen’s shoulder and sighed, “Looks like the rumours going around about how you don’t have a good relationship with your big brother are completely wrong.”
“What do you know.” Yan Tianhen said with a face full of sorrow, “Soon enough, our relationship won’t be good anymore.”

Lin Yan was a bit surprised. He blinked, “That can’t be ba. Lin Xuanzhi doesn’t seem like the type who can’t stand seeing other people succeed. Don’t tell me my intuition was off?”
Yan Tianhen shook his head, and he looked even sadder than before, “You won’t understand the world of adults.”
Lin Yan, “….”
