Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 257 Persuasion

"Yun'er, now that I have this skill, I have to rush back to Liucheng as soon as possible and won't delay here. You must take good care of yourself in the Royal Academy. If you need anything, just send a message back." Shen Batian had an anxious look on his face and a firmness in his eyes. At this moment, it seemed as if his heart had already flown to Liucheng.

"Hey, hey, hey, father, don't be in a hurry. Now that you are here, stay for a few days before leaving." Shen Yun hurriedly grabbed his father's sleeve.

"No, Yun'er, I'm very happy that you have this intention, but the situation is urgent now. The sooner you bring the skills back, the more strength you will have to resist the tide of monsters." Shen Batian patted Shen Yun's hand gently with a firm tone. He was well aware of the crisis that Liucheng was facing, and time was extremely precious to them.

"Uncle, I think you shouldn't go back now." Lin Ruyi also stepped forward to help persuade him.

"Oh, why?" Shen Batian turned his head slightly and looked at Lin Ruyi. He still attached great importance to the opinion of one of his future daughters-in-law.

Lin Ruyi pursed her lips and said slowly: "Uncle, this is what I think. On the one hand, Liuyun City is far away from Liucheng. Along the way, there are high mountains and long rivers, and the journey is dangerous. It would not be good if you encounter any unexpected situation. Not to mention the bad weather you may encounter, just those robbers lurking in the dark and people with ill intentions may cause you trouble. Secondly, Liucheng's resources are limited. Even if you have the Jindan realm skills, it is not so easy to break through. In the path of cultivation, in addition to the skills, you also need sufficient spiritual materials and a good cultivation environment to assist. I am afraid that the current conditions in Liucheng are difficult to meet. You might as well take a break here, take a long-term view, and it will not be too late to go back after making full preparations." Lin Ruyi analyzed clearly.

After listening to Lin Ruyi's analysis, Shen Batian fell into deep thought. His brows were furrowed, his eyes were tangled, and he kept weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

"But..." Shen Batian hesitated to speak, his face full of anxiety and eagerness, as if he was still worried about Liu Cheng's situation.

"Uncle, don't worry. Before you go back to Liucheng, you can live here with peace of mind. These are all our family properties. You don't have to be polite to me." Lin Ruyi said coquettishly, her eyes were clear and sincere, and her tone was full of concern.

"Yes, father, I think what Ruyi said makes sense, and it is also convenient to gather resources within the scope of Liuyun City. You can rest assured to break through the Jindan realm here. After you break through, you can also let the family form a team to travel back and forth between Liuyun City and Liucheng. In this way, the development of my Shen family will be greatly accelerated." Shen Yun also echoed.

"And father, Liuyun City has more abundant resources, and we can take this opportunity to gain more benefits for the family. Think about it, once you successfully break through the Jindan realm, it will be a huge encouragement and guarantee for the family. With you, a Jindan realm expert, in charge, and with the teams coming and going to deliver supplies and information, the defense and development of Liucheng will definitely be able to reach a higher level. The strength of the family will also grow day by day, and our Shen family will be able to gain a firm foothold in this upcoming chaotic world and seek longer-term development."

When Shen Batian heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, his originally furrowed brows slowly relaxed, his eyes sparkled with excitement. His chest rose and fell slightly, and the ripples in his heart were clearly visible.

All along, his family consciousness was like a tree deeply rooted in his heart, extremely firm and clear. At this moment, Shen Yun's words were like a spring breeze, blowing away the fog in his heart and allowing him to see a road full of hope.

He thought to himself: If I can take advantage of this rare opportunity to enhance my own strength, and use favorable conditions to take the family's development to a higher level, get rid of the current predicament, and usher in a more glorious future, then what is there to hesitate about?

Thinking of this, Shen Batian's tense expression gradually relaxed, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised, revealing a gratified smile. He looked at Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi, his eyes full of praise and expectation, as if he had seen the prosperity of the Shen family under their joint efforts.

"Yun'er, Ruyi, you are right! I was too impatient before and almost missed this great opportunity." Shen Batian's voice was loud and firm, full of confidence and determination for the future. "Then I will prepare for the breakthrough here with peace of mind and fight for the future of our family!"

Shen Yun nodded happily. However, Lin Ruyi stood there quietly, with a blush on her face, as if she was shy or at a loss after being surprised.

Just now, Shen Batian's words "father" included Lin Ruyi, which meant that Shen Batian already regarded her as his daughter-in-law. At this moment, Lin Ruyi's heart was beating like a deer. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at Shen Batian and Shen Yun, and her hands unconsciously fiddled with the corners of her clothes. The blush spread all the way to her ears, which looked particularly moving on her fair skin.

"Oh, by the way, father. Take these cultivation resources." Shen Yun said, with concern on his face, and quickly took out a large number of bottles and jars from the storage ring. Under the refraction of light, those bottles and jars reflected a strange light.

"Yun'er, where did you get so many pills?" Shen Batian was surprised and opened one of the bottles quickly. A strong medicinal fragrance instantly hit his nose. He looked closely and found that it was a second-grade top-grade Ningyuan Pill. You should know that in the whole Liucheng, except for the Liu family, a famous alchemy family, other families are hard to find a pill. Shen Batian's eyes widened and he was shocked.

"Uncle, these pills were exchanged by Brother Yun at the Royal Academy with points. You can use them with confidence." Lin Ruyi explained with a smile, her eyes gentle but firm.

"Yun'er, you should keep these pills for your use. You are now in the rising stage of cultivation and need these pills more than I do." Shen Batian frowned slightly, his eyes full of love and care for his son and future daughter-in-law. He pushed the bottle of pills in his hand towards Shen Yun.

"Uncle, don't worry. We don't lack these resources now. As long as we have enough points in the academy, we can exchange for better pills. And we have just completed the academy's mission, so we don't lack points." Before Shen Yun could explain, Lin Ruyi blurted out. She spoke briskly and confidently, "Uncle, don't refuse. Your increased strength will be good for our entire family."

Shen Yun also nodded and said: "Father, Ruyi is right, you can accept it with peace of mind. The resources in the academy are abundant, and I have no shortage of talent for cultivation. Besides, I have a master here, so I have nothing to worry about."
