Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 1361: Chapter 1360: Some Secrets from the Past!

Lin Dong followed Gu Jiangming into the Gu Family Old House.

After leading Lin Dong to the courtyard of the old house, he turned to Lin Dong and said,

”My family’s old ancestor is inside. Chief Lin, please go ahead.”

Lin Dong nodded and entered the ancient house.

As for Gu Jiangming, at the moment he had already left the Gu Family Old House.

Once Lin Dong entered the house, he found it to be very simple on the inside.

Inside was just a shabbily furnished room, with a table, a wardrobe, a bed, and a stool.

The house had a window opened, outside of which grew a plum tree, with a branch that ’stretched’ into the room.

In front of that window, there were several bamboo stools, upon which sat a man whose age could not be discerned.

Upon seeing Lin Dong, he smiled faintly at him.

Lin Dong realized then that this man was Gu Tongtian, the elder brother of Gu Lingtian, the host of the Hall of Dark King.

Currently unable to grasp Gu Tongtian’s attitude towards himself, Lin Dong cautiously asked, ”Senior Gu, may I know why you sought me out?”

Seeing Lin Dong’s defensive demeanor, Gu Tongtian smiled faintly and said,

”Young Friend Lin, please be at ease. Regarding the matters with Lingtian and Ling Jun, it’s not your fault.”

”So you knew they had already died at my hand?” Lin Dong pondered for a moment before asking.

Gu Tongtian nodded, ”They were planning a trap for you, which I knew of beforehand. I even tried to persuade Lingtian, but alas, he did not heed my advice.”

”Lingtian and Ling Jun, they were both too obsessive.”

”Whether for cultivators or martial artists, being too fixated on one thing is destined to limit one’s progress...”

Lin Dong nodded and expressed his puzzlement, ”Senior Gu, then why did you seek me out?”

”Young Friend Lin, would you care to sit down and talk?” Instead of answering Lin Dong’s question, Gu Tongtian invited him to sit down.

Lin Dong hesitated briefly but still sat opposite Gu Tongtian.

After he sat down, Gu Tongtian did not speak immediately, but instead brewed a pot of tea for Lin Dong.

When a cup of tea was placed in front of Lin Dong, he hesitated, not daring to drink it.

”What’s the matter, Young Friend Lin? Afraid that my tea is poisoned?” Gu Tongtian laughingly said.

Lin Dong touched his nose, essentially admitting it.

Gu Tongtian laughingly said, ”Rest assured, this tea is not poisoned, and moreover, it will be somewhat beneficial to you.”

As he spoke, he poured himself a cup as well and drank it down.

Lin Dong noticed the tea had a refreshing fragrance, and there was actually energy circulating within the cup.

”Is this tea brewed with Heavenly and Earthly treasures?” Lin Dong lifted the cup and drank.

Upon drinking, indeed he felt a stream of energy flowing into his body.

The energy was quite immense and majestic.

Lin Dong quickly refined it!

After the refining, Lin Dong noticed that the eighth Golden Pill in his Dantian had actually gone from three-quarters to four-fifths full!

The efficacy was comparable to that of a Semi Medicine King!

He quickly opened his eyes and, with a bow of his hands, said, ”Thank you, Senior Gu, for the tea. May I be so bold as to ask, what kind of tea is this? With just one cup, I’ve experienced such effects.”

Gu Tongtian laughingly said, ”This tea is ’Enlightenment Tea’. I added two leaves of Enlightenment Tea just now, one leaf into your cup, and the other into mine.”

”Speaking of which, this Enlightenment Tea was given to me by your father back in the day,”

”It can only be said that fate is sometimes indescribable. Who would have thought that the Enlightenment Tea from Lin Zhantian back in the day, I’d be entertaining his son with it today?”

Lin Dong was taken aback and hurriedly asked, ”Elder Gu, do you know my father?”

Gu Tongtian nodded, ”Of course I know him, he was the second most talented cultivator I have ever seen.”

”Oh? And the first?” Lin Dong asked subconsciously.

”The first is naturally you,” Gu Tongtian said laughingly. ”You and your father are truly more monstrous one than the other.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong scratched his head and quickly asked again:

”Elder Gu, may I ask how much do you know about my father?”

”Could you tell me about him? Also, do you by any chance know where he is now?”

Gu Tongtian replied, ”I naturally do not know where your father is now.”

”However, I do have some clarity about your father’s past.”

”Your father, Lin Zhantian, was a man who suppressed an entire era. Over twenty years ago, no young man could match him, just like you today.”

”He was also the first martial artist to breakthrough to the Heavenly Realm since the Age of Dharma End...”

”What? My father reached the Heavenly Realm?” Lin Dong was somewhat surprised and blurted out, even interrupting what Gu Tongtian was saying.

Gu Tongtian didn’t mind being interrupted and just nodded with a smile:

”Yes!”

”If my father has reached the Heavenly Realm, then how could those people have let my family fall into ruin over twenty years ago?” Lin Dong asked again.

Gu Tongtian said, ”I also have some understanding of that incident from twenty-one years ago. Although your father was a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, he had many enemies.”

”Moreover, that incident also involved some Hidden Clans. The Hidden Clans had also deployed Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, and not just one Hidden Clan, not just one Heavenly Realm...”

Lin Dong hurriedly pressed for details, ”Who were they? Who laid hands on my family twenty-one years ago?”

Gu Tongtian pondered for a moment before saying, ”I only know of the Kunlun powers among the Hidden Clans!”

”And there was also one of the Hidden Clan’s great families, the Qin Family...”

”That incident was led by these two families, who joined forces with many of your father’s enemies to move against your family!”

”Kunlun’s goal was to obtain the Nine Dragon Godly Body that you possess!”

”As for the other Hidden Clan great family, the Qin Family, it seems like it was for a cultivation method your father possessed...”

”Besides them, many other powerful forces also took part in that incident from back then. Such as, my brother’s Hall of the Dark King, as well as other organizations of the Nine-Headed Society...”

”And the Lin Family from the Capital City, including Chen Beiming, whom you killed...”

”Speaking of the Lin Family from the Capital City, it’s a complex matter. The Lin Family’s Old Grandmother, your Grandma, also comes from Kunlun. But to this day, there’s one thing I cannot understand, which is why she so favored another son, Lin Zhankun, and another grandson, Lin Tiance...”

”Logically, the talents of your father, Lin Zhantian, and yours crush theirs. If she had not favored Lin Zhankun and Lin Tiance, and instead poured all her support into nurturing your branch, then your Lin Family from the Capital City might have now become a new Hidden Clan...”

Upon hearing all this, Lin Dong couldn’t help but clench his fists.

His knuckles cracked as he thought about that incident from back then, overcome with towering rage.

He said coldly, ”Does favoring someone need a reason?”

Hearing this, Gu Tongtian was taken aback, then he nodded his head.

”That’s true, the most complex thing about humans is emotion. Favoring someone indeed doesn’t need a reason. It’s just that her favoritism cost the Lin Family from the Capital City an opportunity to become a Hidden Clan.”

”What’s a Hidden Clan? Give me time, and I can suppress all the Hidden Clans of this world!” Lin Dong spoke lightly and resolutely.

That momentum left even someone like Gu Tongtian astonished.
