Chapter 3: A Palace Coup? Who Wants My Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine?

Lin Zhenxiong asked coldly, "Lin Zhenhua, what are you trying to do? Charging over here with such an aggressive stance, are you planning to rebel?"

"Ha ha!"

Lin Zhenhua laughed heartily, then shook his head and said, "Rebel? I wouldn't dare. However, we do have a very important matter to discuss with the Family Head."

Lin Zhenxiong sneered: "Discuss with me? It seems more like you plan to force a palace coup."

Lin Zhenhua's face still carried a smile, a very indifferent expression, and he said, "The Family Head indeed is insightful, already aware of our intentions. But to say a palace coup, that sounds too unpleasant. We are here to kindly request that the Family Head step down in favor of someone more capable. After all, the Lin Family Head's position should be held by someone virtuous. Family Head, you are no longer suitable to continue leading our Lin Family."

Lin Zhenxiong bellowed angrily, "How audacious, isn't this rebellion?"

Lin Zhenhua shook his head and said, "You're mistaken, Family Head. If it were just me alone forcing you, then certainly it would constitute rebellion. But now, it is all of us together asking you to relinquish the position. Doesn't that explain everything?"

Lin Zhenxiong did not continue talking with Lin Zhenhua, but instead addressed the many high-ranking members of the Lin Family who followed the Great Elder, asking, "You, do you also intend to force me to give up the position of Family Head?"

As soon as Lin Zhenxiong's voice fell, many people spoke up in unison, "Family Head, you are no longer suitable to be our Lin Family's head, please step down."

After hearing what everyone said, Lin Zhenxiong's face turned unsightly, and he said coldly, "Good, very good, Lin Zhenhua, I did not expect that you indeed have some tricks up your sleeve, to actually have successfully bought over so many high ranks of the Lin Family? It seems I have underestimated you. However, if you think I would simply relinquish the position of Family Head, you are sorely mistaken."

Lin Zhenhua laughed once again with great triumph, and said loudly, "As a member of the Family Head lineage, you should find ways to provide more cultivation resources for everyone, creating better conditions for cultivation. But tell me, what have you provided for everyone recently? Now, I can offer much more than you have, so naturally, they are willing to follow me."

Lin Zhenxiong's expression changed again. The Lin Family's situation had not been good lately, so the resources provided by Lin Zhenxiong's Family Head lineage were indeed limited. He did not expect Lin Zhenhua to exploit this gap.

"Cultivation resources, you say?"

At this moment, an indifferent voice incongruously spoke up, "It seems that cultivation resources aren't really such a big deal, right?"

Everyone followed the voice and saw that the person speaking was Lin Fan.

Lin Zhenhua was taken aback, then shouted, "Waste, it's not your turn to speak!"

As he spoke, an irate Lin Zhenhua's body moved, ready to lay hands on Lin Fan.

However, the Sky Star Elder suddenly stepped in front of Lin Zhenhua, saying indifferently, "Great Elder, would it not tarnish your reputation to attack a child like this?"

"Hmph!"

Great Elder Lin Zhenhua huffed loudly, but he did not continue his attack and instead said, "Ignorant junior, daring to speak nonsense. I'd like to see what gives you the right to say such things?"

Lin Fan ignored Lin Zhenhua, only glancing indifferently at him, then leisurely took out a herbal medicine from his bosom, the Heavenly Heart Grass.

The Heavenly Heart Grass was naturally brought out by Lin Fan from the valley.

A rich aura of energy emanated from the Heavenly Heart Grass.

Upon seeing the Heavenly Heart Grass, the crowd was utterly shocked: "Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine? Heavenly Heart Grass? How is this possible?"

It was well known that the current highest grade of Spiritual Medicine the Lin Family had was merely fifth-grade.

And now, Lin Fan had unexpectedly produced a sixth-grade Spiritual Medicine, no wonder everyone was so astounded.

Immediately after, eyes filled with greed appeared among the crowd.

Lin Fan, as if oblivious to everyone's shock, continued indifferently, "The effects of a sixth-grade Spiritual Medicine, I presume I don't need to say; you all know, right? Any one of you here, after refining the Heavenly Heart Grass, can achieve a breakthrough in cultivation."

The crowd was silent, not saying a word.

They knew that Lin Fan was not wrong; this Heavenly Heart Grass could indeed allow any one of them to break through their current level of cultivation.

Everyone really wanted the Heavenly Heart Grass in Lin Fan's hand.

However, no one moved, because they all understood that in such a situation, whoever made the first move would become the target of all.

For a while, the entire courtyard was very quiet, the atmosphere a bit odd.

And at this time, the Great Elder's face became rather unsightly, not knowing what was happening, but in that instant, the Great Elder suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Glug!"

Someone gulped loudly.

The sound of swallowing saliva was not loud, but in such a quiet environment, it was clearly audible.

And just when everyone was staring at the Heavenly Heart Grass in Lin Fan's hand, Lin Fan, that guy, leisurely took out another piece of Spiritual Medicine from his bosom.

Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine, Iron Heart Orchid.

"Another Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine? Good heavens!"

Everyone was shocked once again.

A single Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine could stir up a storm of blood and violence throughout the entire Heavenly Martial City, and now, Lin Fan had actually taken out two?

However, what everyone never expected was that the more shocking scene was yet to come. Next, they saw Lin Fan's hand continuously searching inside his bosom, and one after another, Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicines were continuously taken out by Lin Fan.

Everyone was so shocked they were at a loss for words.

They even doubted their own eyes, thinking they were seeing things wrong.

The Great Elder's face turned as pale as possible, knowing that his own fortune had already declined today.

Lin Fan then said, "I'm sure everyone is very tempted by these Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicines in my hand, but I need to see everyone's sincerity."

Lin Fan's voice was not loud, but everyone heard it loud and clear, and at the same time, they also understood Lin Fan's implication.

Immediately, someone stepped forward and said to Lin Fan, "Lin Fan, I am willing to break away from the Great Elder and continue to support the Family Head."

After a pause, this person added, "Moreover, I am willing to swear on my soul that for the rest of my life, I will never betray the Family Head."

After the first one stepped forward, immediately a good number of people came forward, expressing their willingness to break away from Lin Zhenhua and to continue supporting Lin Zhenxiong as the head of the Lin Family.

However, there were still quite a few folks observing the situation.

Lin Fan said, "Very well, anyone who is willing to support my grandfather can come to me and receive a Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine."

With this, the people hesitated no more, all expressing their willingness to break away from the Great Elder, even the Great Elder's most loyal followers abandoned him without hesitation.

The Great Elder wanted to recapture some ground, but ultimately, he gave up, because he knew that under these circumstances, no matter what he did, it was beyond redemption.

But what puzzled the Great Elder immensely was, "Where on earth did this guy get so many Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicines?"

As the Great Elder pondered this, Lin Fan looked towards him and asked, "Great Elder, now that your dominance is gone, what else have you got to say?"

"I..."

The Great Elder opened his mouth wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Lin Fan asked the Law Enforcement Elder of the Lin Family, "Law Enforcement Elder, according to the rules of our Lin Family, how should those who rebel be dealt with?"

The Law Enforcement Elder pondered slightly, as if he still had some concerns, but soon after he made a firm decision and resolutely said, "In response to the young master, according to the family rules, rebels are to be executed immediately."

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Then what else is there to say? Get on with it."

The Law Enforcement Elder replied, "Yes!"

Then the Law Enforcement Elder walked step by step toward the Great Elder.

"Hold on!"

At this moment, Sky Star Elder, who had not spoken until now, suddenly let out a loud shout.

Lin Fan waved his hand to signal the Law Enforcement Elder to stop, then turned back to Sky Star Elder and asked, "What last words do you have?"

Clamping his teeth, Sky Star Elder said, "I do not accept this."
