Lin Fan ended the conversation with the Lin Family ancestor there.
He could at least tell that the Lin Family ancestor was indeed on his side, though he was unclear what his goals were for now.
Before he left the Lin Family to prepare for his ascension to the upper realm, the Lin Family did have one thing to add. Or rather, the Lin Family ancestor had one thing to give him.
What he handed Lin Fan was a simple token with the word 'Lin' on it, there wasn't even any special auras that came from it like the other tokens he had received from the Stellar Kingdom experts. No matter which angle he looked at it from, it just looked like a normal token to him.
But what mattered was what the Lin Family ancestor said to him, "Xiao Fan, you have to remember that no matter what, you are a member of the Lin Family. As a family we have to look out for each other, but also know that I and the entire family will have your back no matter what."
Lin Fan didn't know why the Lin Family ancestor did all of this for him, but at the very least it did move him.
While it didn't make him feel that the Lin Family was his family, he could at least feel that the Lin Family ancestor was like his grandfather after all he had done for him.
Lin Fan looked at the token in his hand in a daze for a few seconds before saying with a nod, "Un, I will."
The Lin Family ancestor gave a nod and said, "Good, then be on your way."
Without another word, the Lin Family ancestor went back into the room and Lin Fan also left the Lin Manor.
There was no one else here for him in this Lin Manor, so there was no need for him to say goodbye to anyone. The only one that he would have to say goodbye to was Lin Ao, but there was no time for that either since Lin Ao had gone into secluded cultivation.
In this trip, Lin Ao would stay on the Blue Star Planet until he broke through to the Soul Realm. After being incited by what had just happened, he would break through soon. Once he did, he would catch up with Lin Fan in the upper realm.
Lin Fan went off to the airship landing site, but then he realized that he had made a mistake.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was True Light City, he didn't have a branch store here, so he couldn't use the Any Place Door. At the same time, he didn't have the special airship that the Lin Family ancestor had, so if he took the normal airship, it would take him at least two days to reach Snow Wind City.
After thinking through his options, Lin Fan realized that the only thing left for him was to use his own cultivation to fly to Snow Wind City.
But right before he could fly into the sky, there was someone who ran towards him calling out, "Young master Lin, please wait!"
Lin Fan turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw an unfamiliar middle aged man running towards him. He had no memories of this person and didn't know why he would be calling out to him, but that didn't mean that he couldn't hear him out.
After all, he had already surpassed the limits of this realm with his cultivation, so there was nothing that he needed to fear in this lower realm.
The middle aged man stopped in front of Lin Fan and bent over panting as he tried to speak, but words just wouldn't come out.
Lin Fan looked over him before saying, "Is there something you need with me?"
It took the middle aged man some time to recover from his run, but then when he looked up to speak, Lin Fan finally recognized him.
He was the captain for the Lin Family ancestor's private airship.
But why did he suddenly stop Lin Fan for?
The captain said, "Young master Lin, the ancestor has given the orders to let you use his personal airship until you ascend. Please have a look and confirm his orders."
The captain took out his watch and showed the message from the Lin Family ancestor to Lin Fan.
It read, "Xiao Fan, use my airship for now, it should help you until you ascend."
Lin Fan had completely forgotten about this and the Lin Family ancestor had helped him remember. It was almost like he was an elder from the family that was looking out for him.
Wait, he was an elder since he was technically Lin Fan's great grandfather…
Still, Lin Fan was thankful for the Lin Family ancestor's care for him and he wasn't going to shy away from using this since he did need this airship.
So without any hesitation, Lin Fan took the airship to Snow Wind City.
The first thing that Lin Fan did was immediately head off to his pet shop since that was his main priority before leaving this world.
His pet shop was the basis of his strength, it was his golden finger. As long as he had the income from the pet shop, he could slowly increase his cultivation by finishing missions and getting new things with his points. Even though he hadn't been using his points much…
But this upper realm would be an unknown world to him, so it would be better to have as many points as he could get.
That meant he would have to make sure that the stores on this Blue Star Planet would be able to function even if he was gone.
For the main store in Snow Wind City, it was currently being managed by Momonga and his ghost maids, but since they would be coming up to the upper realm with him, he would have to find someone else to manage it.
That was where his friends came in.
Wang Da Dong spent most of his time in the store anyway, so he was naturally Lin Fan's first choice when it came to a replacement.
The Wang Family were overjoyed when they heard this because they now knew just how powerful Lin Fan's pet shop really was. A pet shop that could have several Legendary Realm Experts definitely wasn't normal, so having Wang Da Dong work there and create a relationship with them would definitely create a large backer for the Wang Family.
The other two royal families also tried to get their descendants in and Lin Fan naturally accepted them since more workers were better. The most important thing was that they weren't even asking for that much when it came to pay…
Of course, they would be starting at a lower position than Wang Da Dong since they were just learning the job still.
As for Jin and Yin, Lin Fan was leaving them here on the Blue Star Planet for now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis trip for him was just to build up his foundations in the upper realm, so before he could, it was better for him to travel alone since that meant more flexibility. Once he finished establishing his foundations, he would bring up all his subordinates since he needed them to expand his influence in the upper realm.
That naturally included Jiang Zhi Shu and the kids over in Green Wood City.
The two orphan kids that he had left in Green Wood City had never stopped cultivating and they had grown quite a bit, reaching the Silver Realm and Bronze Realm respectively.
But that was also natural since Lin Fan had given them cultivation techniques from the system…
With that cultivation and their age, they could definitely be considered geniuses and Lin Fan would need them in the upper realm.
So after taking care of the store in Snow Wind City, Lin Fan went to take care of the stores in Green Wood City and Rock Mountain City.
The kids would be leaving, so that meant that he needed to prepare extra workers to take over when he brought them up.
Lin Fan went to the Mu Family and got some workers from them.
Of course, it was impossible for the Mu Family to have the same relationship with Lin Fan as before after what had happened in the ruins.
While he still had a friendly attitude towards them, they were no longer as close as before after the ruin incident.
It was the same with the Jiang Family in Rock Mountain City, but since Jiang Zhi Shu still followed Lin Fan, their relationship was still better.
Lin Fan just left the management of the store to Jiang Qi Tai since he had already been helping and was quite proficient in managing the store.
As for Water Pearl City, Lin Fan left the management of the store to Zhu Tie since he wasn't bringing Zhu Tie up with him. Zhu Tie was never that good at cultivating and he surprisingly had a talent for managing a business.
When Lin Fan saw the reports that Zhu Tie had given him and matched it with the information from the system, he immediately decided to leave the store to Zhu Tie.
With all four of his stores taken care of, Lin Fan didn't go back to Snow Wind City.
Rather he headed right to Central City where the portal to the upper realm was.
But back in Snow Wind City, there was a certain someone who had just received a letter from him.
