Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (1-200)

59- To Everyone's Satisfaction

“Craftsman?”

“Craftsman!”

“He’s actually a craftsman!”

“Oh heavens, how many years has it been since the Lin family produced a craftsman?”

Voices of differing pitches carried the same astonishment as they travelled upwards from the platform below. Lin Xuanzhi heard all their clamouring, and was incomparably glad that the Lin family’s ancestor who had ascended and drawn up the family rules was a craftsman himself; it’s just that there was no descendant after him in the Lin family who had the talent for crafting.

Crafting and martial cultivation are different; crafting requires not only a spiritual root, but also a soulfire. If someone’s soul had any one of the following soulfires: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind and lightning that was suitable for crafting, then they can cultivate through the path of a craftsman, or else they would not have the talent for it at all.

And a crafting soulfire is inborn; every cultivator family’s descendants have to take the soulfire test the moment they are born. If their soulfire test is positive, they will be sent directly onto the path of a craftsman and be groomed as a core member of that family.

But Lin Xuanzhi had obviously undergone the soulfire test when he was born which showed that he didn’t fulfill the prerequisites for crafting, so how did he become a craftsman?

Wouldn’t that be the shock of the century?

It was practically unheard of and unseen of!

No, there were precedents.

Third elder had a malicious look on his face. He stood up and said, “Lin Xuanzhi, do you admit your guilt?”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “I don’t know what I’m guilty of.”

Third elder said fiercely, “You obviously never had a crafting soulfire for the past 17 years of your life, yet you suddenly have one now — that’s definitely impossible! You must have used some unorthodox magic to seize a craftsman’s soulfire!”

“He.” Lin Xuanzhi curved his lips up coldly, then said, “You said that I seized someone else’s soulfire, but you need evidence to back that claim.”

“You……” Third elder choked on his words.

Lin Xuanzhi had always believed in using his opponent’s methods to exact retribution; since these people had asked him for evidence, then he would require evidence from them as well. He’d really like to know if this bunch of people actually had the ability to groundlessly convict him for being a craftsman!

“Third elder, what you said wasn’t right ma.” Fifth elder narrowed his eyes, his smooth face revealed an ambiguous smile, then he said, “For my Lin family to be able to produce a craftsman is due to our ancestor taking pity on us, it might even have been a favour bestowed upon us by our ancestor in the immortal realm above.”

Even though the Fifth elder was ranked behind Third elder, that was just because he was appointed as an elder a bit later than third elder. But in reality, the Fifth elder’s standing is higher than that of Third elder.

Fifth elder’s words obviously showed that he was brazenly shielding Lin Xuanzhi.

Third elder could only shut his mouth up and sit back down on his seat with a gloomy look on his face.

But then again, Fifth elder would always determine his judgments of right and wrong for the sake of the Lin family. In order for the Lin family to continue to flourish, or even ride on the coattails of someone1, he would absolutely need to avoid suppressing someone of extraordinary talent.
