Chapter 211 News about Lin Cheng'an
Mo Ze's words immediately stunned Lin Shushu.
"Are you serious?" Lin Shushu heard clearly, but she still couldn't quite believe it. She had prepared for a long battle, but Mo Ze gave her an unexpected surprise.
Mo Ze nodded and told her in detail about the Lin family business, emphasizing that the owner had been looking for his wife.
She touched her neck with her right hand, where there was an orchid mark. She usually hid it, and very few people had seen it. Lin Shushu was 90% sure that the owner of the Lin Family Trading Company was her father.
But he was also looking for his mother. Could it be that they, like him and Mo Ze, were forced to separate after arriving in the cultivation world? But where could his mother be? Why hadn't his father been able to find her after searching for twenty years?
Lin Shushu finally understood why the Yuan family ancestral hall was in such a dilapidated state, with ancestral tablets scattered all over the ground and no one bothering to clean it up: because her mother never had the chance to return here.
"The manager of the trading company said that their boss was last seen in the territory of the Yan Yang Sect. We'll set off at dawn and we're sure to find them," Mo Ze said, trying to comfort Lin Shushu when he saw her looking downcast.
Lin Shushu nodded. They didn't sleep that night, but instead exchanged information they had gathered about the cultivation world.
The two set off early the next morning.
The Yan Yang Sect is located in the northwest of the Yan Yang Continent. Legend has it that it was founded by the ancient Yan Yang Emperor, who witnessed a wisp of pure Yang power at the beginning of the world when the world was first created atop the Yan Yang Mountains. He comprehended the wonder of fire and thus founded the sect.
In its early days, Emperor Yanyang, with his extraordinary control over the spiritual power of fire, subdued many monsters in the surrounding area, absorbed powerful figures from all sides, and used the power of the blazing sun to cleanse the world of evil. Gradually, the Yanyang Sect became famous far and wide, and in fact, became the number one sect on the Yanyang Continent.
Yanyang Town, located at the foot of the Yanyang Mountains, was initially a trading place for disciples of the Yanyang Sect. As its reputation grew, it attracted merchants from all walks of life to trade, and gradually developed into a town of considerable size.
With more people, there are more conflicts. After several battles, the Yan Yang Sect finally intervened. The merchants, under the protection of the Yan Yang Sect, voluntarily offered various resources. From then on, Yan Yang Town was brought under the influence of the Yan Yang Sect, and no one dared to cause trouble there.
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze walked along the streets of Yanyang Town, looking at the dazzling array of shops around them, wondering where the owner of the Lin Family Trading Company might be.
Unfortunately, the Lin family business did not set up a branch here, otherwise they could have gathered information through multiple channels.
Finding a place on their own was unrealistic, so the two walked along and came across a tavern, which they went inside.
"Please come in, esteemed immortals. We have a new batch of spirit fruit wine in our shop. Would you like a pot?" the waiter greeted them warmly. These people, who come and go every day, have long since developed a keen eye for these people and could naturally tell that the man and woman were both quite powerful.
Lin Shushu immediately became interested when she heard "spiritual fruit wine". She had a lot of spiritual fruits in her space, but she had never thought of using them to make wine. Now that she was here, spiritual fruits were no longer so rare, and even if they appeared in large quantities, they would not be so eye-catching.
Perhaps she could also launch a spirit fruit wine, which would likely have a good market.
"Then bring us a pot of tea. What other signature dishes do you have in your shop? Bring them up as well!" Mo Ze noticed Lin Shushu's interest and picked up where the waiter left off.
In a few words, the waiter led them to a window seat on the second floor. "Alright, please have a seat, I'll go prepare it for you right away."
A moment later, the waiter returned with two jugs of wine and several small dishes. "Please enjoy your meal, esteemed masters. Feel free to ask if you need anything." With that, he prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute," Lin Shushu took out a mid-grade spirit stone and placed it on the table, "Young man, we're from out of town. We'd like to know what local specialties you have. Could you tell us about them?"
"Specialty products?" The waiter looked puzzled at first, then suddenly realized, "Master, you mean you're referring to something famous about our place?"
Lin Shushu nodded.
"Two immortal masters, to be honest, you can find out by asking around. You don't need to give me spirit stones."
Mo Ze placed the spirit stone in his hand, "Since we're giving it to you, keep it and tell us what you know."
The waiter readily accepted the money and explained the situation in Yanyang Town in detail.
After he finished speaking, Lin Shushu asked seemingly casually, "Do you often have people from other places coming here? What do they usually come for?"
"That's right. We have the Yan Yang Sect behind us, and every day there are quite a few people here, whether they want to join the sect or want to ask the Yan Yang Sect disciples for spiritual weapons and magic treasures."
The waiter's words were tinged with pride, and indeed they were true.
The Flaming Sun Mountains contain boundless fire elemental power, and the Flaming Sun Sect, thanks to this unique geographical advantage, has become the master of this fire elemental power. This has also given them an unparalleled level of skill in weapon crafting and alchemy.
The Flame Sun Sect's weapon-forging skills are unparalleled. The sect's master weapon-forgers, with their exquisite craftsmanship and masterful use of fire elemental power, can forge various rare materials into incredibly powerful magical artifacts. These artifacts are not only highly sought after throughout the continent but have also become a renowned symbol of the Flame Sun Sect.
At the same time, the Yan Yang Sect also achieved remarkable success in the field of elixirs. Whether it was a holy medicine for healing injuries or a spiritual pill for enhancing cultivation, all were of extremely high quality. These elixirs not only helped the sect's disciples improve their strength but also attracted countless powerful figures from outside the sect seeking to purchase them.
"Young man, may I ask you about two people? They came here a month ago." Lin Shushu slipped another mid-grade spirit stone into the shopkeeper's hand and showed him a portrait of Lin Cheng'an, which she had obtained from Lin Song.
After accepting the spirit stones, the waiter carefully examined the portrait for a few moments, then his eyes lit up. "I've seen this person before. He came to our shop before, but he came alone."
Lin Shushu and Mo Ze exchanged a glance. It really was him!
"Do you know where he is now?" Lin Shushu's words were filled with barely concealed urgency.
The waiter shook his head. They were only responsible for serving customers who came to the store; where they went afterward was not their concern.
Although somewhat disappointed, there was finally good news: Lin Chengan had indeed been here.
After dismissing the waiter, Lin Shushu lost all interest in tasting the spirit fruit wine; all she wanted to do now was find Lin Cheng'an.
"Shushu, don't worry. We don't know where your father is right now. Even if we want to find him, we need to have a direction," Mo Ze quickly reassured her.
Lin Shushu calmed down a bit. Indeed, they had no other clues and no way to start searching. Moreover, Lin Cheng'an hadn't been heard from for a month; it was hard to say whether something had happened to him.
The best course of action now is to find out what unusual things have happened in this town over the past month.
