Chapter 970 - 987: The Awesome Aspects of the Diamond Sutra
"Hehe, you're pretty spot on. Besides him, who else has such great abilities?" Lin Mu chuckled."But hasn't your old man called us? Besides, we didn't inform the old man beforehand, did we?" Earth Wolf said.
"Do you even need to inform him? What can you hide from my old man? I guess he doesn't want us to blow this thing up. After all, the Liu Family is pretty powerful. Of course, I'm still not quite sure about this, so I'll call that old guy in a bit to ask! Come on, let's drink!" Lin Mu raised his glass to signal.
"Come on, drink, drink!"
And so, the Wolf Fang brothers started drinking and chatting. After finishing the drinks, as night deepened, Gray Wolf, Earth Wolf, and Golden Wolf went back to the Foot Bath Pavilion, while Lin Mu drove home to sleep.
Lin Mu planned to take a bath after getting home, and then call the old man to ask about the situation. However, before he could make the call, the old man called him first.
Lin Mu sat in the car, took out a cigarette, lit it, and then answered the call, "Hey, old man! How have you been?"
"Hmm, not dead yet!" Once he said this, the next line was a barrage of insults, "Damn it, are you trying to upend the world? Got some skills now, huh?"
Of course, all this was within Lin Mu's expectations. Whenever Lin Mu did something wrong, the old man usually started with a scolding as soon as the call connected!
"Oh come on, old man, don't be angry. Weren't my skills taught by you? No matter how big my skills are, they can't be bigger than yours!" Lin Mu grinned.
"Stop with the flattery! Of all people, you had to mess with the Liu Family, and even castrated their son, you little bastard, I'll kill you when you get back!" Elder Lin cursed, clearly furious about the matter.
"Accident, accident!" Lin Mu quickly said.
"Accident my ass! Why don't you have an accident and castrate yourself?"
"Um... old man, is that how you talk to your grandson?" Lin Mu felt a bit awkward,
"What? You think I'm not being harsh enough on you?"
"Um... no, please calm down, sir!" Lin Mu hurriedly apologized, "Right, Grandpa, did you clean up the mess for me tonight?"
"Damn it, who else if not me? Do you know, I never kissed up to any bastard in my life, but this time, you made me break my vow!" Elder Lin cursed.
"Wow, is the Liu Family really that formidable that even you can't handle them?"
"Don't you know how formidable they are? Of course, it's not that I can't handle them. Everyone's out in the world, so they have to show me some respect. Your old man didn't mix in this world for nothing, you know?" Elder Lin said with some pride.
Lin Mu seized the chance to say a lot of nice things, buttering up the old man. After all, flattering with words costs nothing, so Lin Mu was happy to please this quirky old man. Otherwise, if the old man got upset, he would surely find endless ways to amuse himself at Lin Mu's expense, and Lin Mu had always been the old man's personal punching bag.
"Hehe, actually the most formidable is our family's Elder Lin. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone as majestic and esteemed as you in all of Huaxia, practically the number one figure in the Huaxia world. Even the Liu Family doesn't dare to make a peep!"
"Cough, cough, that's enough. No need to lay it on too thick!" Elder Lin lightly coughed.
Um… this old man really is full of himself now! Lin Mu thought quietly, but didn't say it out loud. Instead, he grinned and asked, "By the way, how did you negotiate with the Liu Family?"
"How did I negotiate? Well, I personally went and fixed that kid's family jewels, apologized, said a bunch of nice things, and only then did they agree not to pursue the matter further!" Elder Lin said.
"No way? That kid's nuts got busted by me, and you could still fix them?"
"Damn it, my Vajra Scripture Internal Power has reached the Ninth Layer, you know. The white qi of the Ninth Layer is almost equivalent to immortal qi, capable of regenerating the impaired organ!" said the old man, who then asked, "How's your progress in power?" Elder Lin asked.
"Hehe, I've broken through the Seventh Layer and reached the Eighth. Old man, can you guide me on how to break through the Eighth Layer?" Lin Mu grinned, knowing that, although the difference between the Eighth and Ninth Layer was just one layer, the power difference was multiple folds!
At the Seventh Layer stage, Lin Mu could only exchange a few moves with the old man. Now that Lin Mu had broken through to the Eighth Layer, he estimated he could only withstand three or fifty moves, unable to shake the old man's dominant position, clearly showing the vast disparity between each layer of the Vajra Scripture.
"Didn't I tell you earlier? From the Seventh Layer on, you have to comprehend the Vajra Scripture Internal Power on your own. If someone guides you, there's a risk of going astray, so figure it out yourself. What height you can reach depends on your own insight. By the way, I'm only at the Ninth Layer now; if I could break through to the Tenth Layer, it would be a whole new world!" Elder Lin said.
Lin Mu could fully grasp the meaning in Elder Lin's words. Reaching the Ninth Layer already made Lin Mu exceedingly envious, and he had witnessed the power of the Ninth Layer—it was like that white qi, almost omnipotent, akin to immortal qi, even capable of rejuvenating Liu Jiahao's family jewels. Clearly, the Ninth Layer of the Vajra Scripture was almost considered a divine skill. If the Tenth Layer were reached, according to what the old man had said, it wouldn't be far from becoming a deity.
"Hey, old man, how powerful would it be if someone reached the Tenth Layer?" Lin Mu curiously asked.
"Damn it, didn't I tell you? For an individual, it almost makes you unafraid of death. For others, as long as the patient breathes, you can cure him," Elder Lin said.
"Um... I'm most concerned about how strong I would be in a fight with others?" Lin Mu awkwardly asked.
"I wouldn't know. It's unimaginably powerful! Kid, cherish it, alright? Such profound martial arts secret manuals aren't accessible to just anyone. If it weren't for my unique status, you might never learn even a single move in this lifetime. Learning this also means serving the country; otherwise, you'd miss the opportunity to bring glory to your ancestors!" Elder Lin encouraged.
Lin Mu nodded, becoming serious, "Old man, don't worry. After all, you taught me. The tiger doesn't have worthless cubs. You're so awesome, I won't let you lose face either!"
Elder Lin grinned, "That's more like it!"
"Haha, old man, if there's nothing else, I'll hang up now. We must spar sometime, Grandpa and grandson. Without your kneading, my skin starts to itch all over," Lin Mu said.
