LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 24: Successfully conquering Qingtan
Chapter 24:
On the way back, the four were still discussing Lei Li and Xie Yingying.
"Brother Lin Yun, how strong is Lei Li? Are you sure you can beat him?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
In the battle just now, Lin Yun and Lei Li were evenly matched, but Lin Dong knew that Lin Yun still had many tricks that he had not yet used.
However, Lei Li's strength was not bad either. He had the advantage of a high realm and abundant Yuan power. Lin Dong felt that he was not sure of winning against Lei Li.
Lin Xia and Qing Tan also looked at Lin Yun.
Now they have undoubtedly offended Lei Li. When the hunting activity comes, Lei Li will definitely find an opportunity to retaliate.
"When we hunt, there shouldn't be any problem!" Lin Yun said modestly.
It's settled!
Hearing Lin Yun's answer, the three of them smiled with relief.
After spending some time together, they have a certain understanding of Lin Yun. In terms of strength, they have never seen Lin Yun being pushed to his limit.
Whether it was after a discussion or a successful breakthrough, Lin Yun would always say it was luck, barely, or good fortune.
However, the result was that they were completely controlled by Lin Yun.
To say now that the problem is not serious is equivalent to saying that there is no problem at all.
In fact, Lin Yun was confident that he could defeat Lei Li just now, even though Lei Li was one level higher than him.
But he didn't do that.
Always keep a hand in mind and never let others know your cards... This is his style.
If he defeated Lei Li, wouldn't he become the number one genius in Qingyang Town?
As the saying goes, a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
The hunting activity is about to start. If he shows his strength to defeat Lei Li, it means that the Lei family and the Xie family will not be able to gain any advantage in the hunting activity. If they are desperate, the two families may attack him in advance.
For the Lei and Xie families, it is not difficult to kill a person in the Body Tempering Realm now.
The most frightening thing in life and work is having no hope.
Lin Yun deliberately put himself at a disadvantage in the battle with Lei Li, making Lei Li feel that he was almost able to defeat him. This gave Lei Li hope and made him feel that he could defeat Lin Yun without having to rely on the power of his family to launch a dimensionality reduction attack.
Lin Yun's approach is like controlling scores in an exam!
Anyway, as long as you have the ability, it doesn't matter how many points you get in the exams, as long as you achieve your goal.
When the hunting activity comes, Lin Yun's strength will be improved again. At that time, he will pretend to barely defeat Lei Li and continue to hide most of his strength. He will not have to worry about revenge from the Lei and Xie families.
…
Back to Lin Yun's yard!
Lin Xia and Qing Tan were like two sensible young wives, helping Lin Yun clean up the room. Today, they bought a lot of things for Lin Yun.
After they left, Lin Yun began to sort out today's harvest.
First, the mission rewards.
"Two bottles of fourth-grade vitality pills."
From Xie Yingying and Lei Li respectively.
In addition, there are fifteen third-grade spiritual medicines and two fourth-grade spiritual medicines obtained from the exchange.
Lin Yun took out the alchemy furnace, put all seventeen spiritual herbs into the furnace, and let Chi Ling automatically combine them to make pills.
Chi Ling does not need a recipe to make elixirs. She can refine and fuse the existing spiritual medicines to make elixirs of higher quality than the spiritual medicines.
After a while, the pill came out.
There are thirty-two pills in total.
Twenty-two of them were of the third grade, nine were of the fourth grade, and one barely reached the fifth grade.
The pills refined by Chi Ling, like the ones rewarded by the system, are all top-grade pills without impurities. There are no side effects after absorption.
Moreover, there is no need to worry even if there are side effects.
The god-level alchemy furnace also has another function, which can be used for cultivation.
Directly enter the alchemy furnace and refine yourself as a elixir. The alchemy fire can extract the impurities in Lin Yun's body and make Lin Yun's physique purer.
However, Lin Yun's current body cannot withstand the Dan fire, and he needs to reach the Yuan Dan realm.
Anyway, now Lin Yun can take pills and practice without worrying about the side effects of taking too many pills.
There are only more than four months left until the hunting activity.
Lin Yun's next goal is to break through the ninth level of body tempering and reach the Earth Yuan realm.
Now that there are enough elixirs, Lin Yun can practice without restraint.
More than a month passed in the blink of an eye.
As Lin Yun practiced day and night, the energy seeds in his meridians grew stronger and more condensed, and began to impact the barrier of his dantian.
The ninth level of body tempering requires Yuanli to break through Dantian.
After multiple impacts, Lin Yun could vaguely feel that the solid barrier of his dantian was beginning to shake slightly.
After taking the pill which was close to the fifth grade, Lin Yun finally broke through it completely with one go.
Entering the ninth level of body tempering!
The energy seed rushed into Dantian, as if a dry pond was being irrigated. Lin Yun could feel that his body was undergoing a transformation, which was spreading from deep within his body to the outside.
That feeling is like a latent dragon ascending to the sky, a fish entering the sea!
[Mission: Breakthrough the ninth level of body tempering. Reward: Constitution +2, root bone +2. Completed, do you want to receive it? ]
"receive!"
[Physique 13 (excellent) -Physique 15 (excellent).]
[Root bone 21 (one in a hundred) - root bone 23 (one in a hundred). ]
The energy with enhanced attributes was integrated into his body, and Lin Yun's body reached another small climax.
In just over a month, he advanced from the eighth level of body tempering to the ninth level. In addition to the elixir, the biggest reason for such a fast cultivation speed is that Lin Yun's various attributes are very high, especially the root bone attribute that represents the talent for cultivating Yuanli, which has reached "one in a hundred", which is not comparable to ordinary geniuses.
Lin Yun established a mission and continued his practice.
[Mission: Breakthrough the Earth Realm. Rewards: Bones +2, Comprehension +2, and the ultimate secret manual "Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu".]
"This reward, a secret manual of martial arts!?"
Lin Yun's eyes lit up, the secret manual of martial arts was extraordinary.
This requires advancing to the Earth Yuan Realm before one can practice.
The secret manuals of martial arts are different from martial arts. Martial arts can maximize the power of Yuanli, while the secret manuals can improve Yuanli from the most fundamental level.
This is the difference between external power and internal power.
Martial arts are divided into nine grades from one to nine.
The skills are divided into third rate, second rate and first rate.
The entire Lin family only has one secret manual of martial arts, and it is only a third-rate manual.
Now the reward is actually a book of top-notch martial arts. There is no doubt that it is definitely above the top.
If Lin Yun learns it, there will be no problem for him to dominate the entire Qingyang Town.
Now he has more motivation to practice.
When the pills were almost used up, Lin Yun went to the underground exchange again. He first used his savings to buy a batch of first- and second-grade spiritual medicines, then asked Chi Ling to process them into pills, and then resold them for third- and fourth-grade spiritual medicines.
There were still too few fourth-grade spiritual medicines. Lin Yun went to several exchanges and only got three.
However, with Chi Ling here, quantity can make up for the lack of quality.
As long as there are enough types of third-grade spiritual medicines, Chi Ling can combine them to refine a lot of fourth-grade pills.
In addition to the elixir, there are also the Yin beads taken from Qingtan's body.
The Yin Pearl is an extremely pure Yin Sha Qi. As the cold energy was too strong, Lin Yun was unable to absorb it before. Now that he has reached the ninth level of body tempering and is preparing to impact the Earth Yuan Realm, he can finally use the Yin Pearl.
In the Earthly Realm, one needs to blend the internal energy with the Yin Sha Qi to make the energy stronger. The most important thing at this stage is to absorb the Yin Sha Qi between heaven and earth. And Yin Sha Qi also has advantages and disadvantages.
The evil energy in the world is divided into nine levels, with the first level being the worst and the ninth level being the strongest.
Even in the same Earthly Realm, the more Yin Sha Qi one absorbs, the stronger one will be.
Most people practice normally, absorbing ordinary evil energy from heaven and earth.
These ordinary evil spirits can only reach the first or second grade.
The Yin beads absorbed from Qingtan's body can all reach the fifth grade or above.
This quality of evil energy might not be found even in Qingyang Town or even in Yancheng further up.
Lin Yun swallowed a Yin Pearl and began to practice.
As the Yin Pearl entered his body, Lin Yun's body stiffened almost instantly. The icy cold air spread wildly in his body, and his skin was covered with ice chips.
He also experienced the bitterness of the coldness of the qingtan tree.
However, this bit of coldness is only a part of what is revealed by the Qingtan, and its power is not great.
In addition, Lin Yun's physique was not weak, so although refining the Yin Pearl was a bit painful, he could still hold on.
As the evil energy entered the Dantian, it slowly merged with the Yuan power.
The refining was successful, and Lin Yun's energy was increased.
A very faint evil aura.
"As long as the Yin Sha Qi in the Yuanli continues to become stronger, you can break through the Earth Yuan Realm."
Lin Yun's face was full of confidence. The next step was to have more in-depth exchanges with the little loli Qingtan, and try to obtain more Yin beads.
"Speaking of which, the Yin Pearl is such a good opportunity. Now that I have obtained it, can Lin Dong still successfully break through the Earthly Origin Realm? I don't know how many Yin Pearls he saved from Qingtan before. I hope it is enough for him to practice."
Lin Yun felt sorry for Lin Dong for a second, but then he didn't take it to heart anymore.
Anyway, there was no way he would give Qingtan to Lin Dong.
It's fine that he didn't get the opportunity to grab the ancestral stone before, but the opportunity that comes later will be for whoever gets it.
If Lin Dong falls behind because of this, it doesn't matter, he has his back.
In the blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
Lin Yun's pills and Yin beads have been refined almost to the peak of the ninth level of body tempering. The Yuan power in his Dantian also has a strong Yin Sha energy. He is only one opportunity away from breaking through the Earth Yuan Realm.
Today, Qingtan came to see Lin Yun again.
"Brother Lin Yun, I feel like my cold is about to flare up again. I'll follow you for the next two days."
"Qingtan, your attacks of cold are becoming more and more frequent, and the cold is getting stronger and stronger. How much energy is stored in this small body of yours?" Lin Yun said, touching Qingtan's little head.
During this period of time, he obtained a lot of Yin beads from Qingtan, and he could see that Qingtan's coldness was getting worse and worse.
"I don't know why there are so many." Qingtan pouted, looking aggrieved... If it weren't for Brother Lin Yun's help, she would really be in pain.
"However, with Brother Lin Yun's treasure, any energy can be suppressed."
The lively Qingtan quickly turned into a smiling face and said optimistically.
"You, just thinking about my baby!"
Lin Yun said lovingly.
After helping Qingtan for so long, and every time they were alone together in the alchemy furnace, their relationship is now very good. They can occasionally say some intimate words and do some intimate actions.
The second day that Qingtan followed Lin Yun.
Her cold flared up.
Lin Yun blindfolded Qingtan's eyes with ease, then carried her into the alchemy furnace.
"Master, I can release more of the evil energy in her body, refine it, and then introduce it into your body. You can take this opportunity to impact the Earth Yuan Realm." Chi Ling suddenly transmitted the voice.
"Huh? Can it be operated this way?!" Lin Yun was slightly surprised.
But he still asked first, "Will this harm Qingtan?"
"No, Master, I am just helping her expel the excess cold in advance. At most, the next attack of cold will be prolonged."
Chi Ling added succinctly, "She won't feel any pain, but you will."
"Come on then!"
It was just a little pain, he could bear it.
Then Chi Ling began to act as an "air pipeline". Without condensing it into a pill, it directly purified the cold air emitted by Qingtan through the pill fire and passed it to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun sat cross-legged opposite Qingtan and practiced. An ice-blue aura emerged from Qingtan's body, then passed through the red flame area in the middle, gathered in front of Lin Yun, and was sucked away by him.
Like an ice-blue line, connecting the two people.
As time went by, Qingtan felt that the coldness in his body was growing stronger and stronger.
She was a little scared, as the amount seemed to be too much this time, two or three times more than before.
"Brother Lin Yun, it's so cold, I'm scared." Qingtan was very nervous and subconsciously reached out to grab Lin Yun, wanting to touch him and find a sense of security.
However, when she grabbed Lin Yun's hand, she felt it was extremely cold.
She was startled!
The alchemy furnace was filled with the smell of alchemy fire.
Chi Ling was able to control things very well. She gave Qingtan enough temperature so that Qingtan would not feel any pain no matter how much cold air erupted. However, it was the opposite for Lin Yun. In order to break through, he needed to absorb the cold air. Chi Ling could not give him temperature because the power of the Dan fire would weaken the effect of the cold air. This caused Lin Yun's whole body to become cold, just like when Qingtan's cold air erupted.
"I... I'm fine... Qingtan... I'll be fine in a... while." Lin Yun said tremblingly and stutteringly.
Qingtan's chill was too strong, and he was really too cold. The piercing pain made his teeth somewhat unresponsive.
However, this trembling sound was like a bolt from the blue to Qingtan's ears.
She was very familiar with the rhythm and tone of this speech. This was how she spoke when she had a cold attack and was in excruciating pain.
In an instant, Qingtan thought of a lot.
She was not cold, but Lin Yun was.
She didn't feel any pain, but Lin Yun did.
What does this mean?
Brother Lin Yun's treasure must be able to transfer pain!
The pain she had to endure was transferred to Brother Lin Yun.
Qingtan thought of a lot of details.
Why didn't Brother Lin Yun say anything before?
Why let her sit still and not reach out to touch the surroundings.
Why did he blindfold her?
Wasn't it because he didn't want her to know all this?
Brother Lin Yun didn't act abnormal before because the coldness before was not that strong and Brother Lin Yun was able to hold on. But this time the coldness was too strong and Brother Lin Yun couldn't bear it.
The blindfolded eyes became moist instantly.
"Brother Lin Yun, why...why are you doing this?" Qing Tan held Lin Yun's cold hand tightly, sobbing softly, and was deeply moved...why are you so good to me!
From childhood to adulthood, apart from her family, no one has ever treated her like this at all costs.
"Ah... Qingtan... you, you listen to me..." Lin Yun was a little panicked. He thought Qingtan had discovered that he was absorbing a large amount of cold air and wanted to explain it clearly.
"You don't have to say it, Brother Lin Yun, I... understand everything." Qingtan suddenly interrupted Lin Yun and said in a tone of I understand you.
They are not her family, but they are so kind to her. If they don't like her, what else could it be?
"Wait until I grow up!" She added softly, her tone extremely gentle.
At this moment, Lin Yun received a prompt from the system that a task was completed.
[Mission: Capture Qingtan's heart. Reward: Charm +10, Innate Yin Sha Qi. Completed, do you want to claim it?]
