"..."
"I never expected Lin Yi to be able to defeat Lin Hong! It seems I can't let my guard down either, or I'll be the next one defeated by Lin Yi..."
Lin Xia looked somewhat solemn, muttered to herself, and then turned and left.
After Lin Xia left, the group of younger members of the Lin family who had been watching the spectacle dispersed in a hurry.
Lin Hong's face was ashen. He and his two unfortunate brothers, Lin Shan and their followers, helped each other and left the scene dejectedly.
Meanwhile, on his way home, Lin Yi heard the system reward notification again in his mind.
[Ding! Host has defeated Lin Hong, intimidating the younger generation of the Lin family and gaining initial fame. Reward: a Grade 3 spiritual herb, Fire Blood Mushroom!]
They can then be used to refine pills for cultivation.
They not only taught their rivals a lesson but also gained cultivation resources—this was a win-win situation!
Chapter 6 Lin Xiao's Surprise: Three Levels Up in One Go!
"Brother Lin Yi, I'm sorry, I promise I'll never sneak off to collect herbs again..."
Seeing Lin Yi's silence, Qing Tan thought he was angry, so she tugged at his clothes and said pitifully.
Lin Yi regained his composure, rubbed Qing Tan's head, and smiled, "It's alright. From now on, no one in the Lin family should dare to bully you."
"Yes, Brother Lin Yi is amazing," Qing Tan said, looking at Lin Yi with eyes full of admiration.
Lin Yi chuckled and said, "If you had put your mind to cultivation, you might be even more powerful than me now."
"Yes, I will also work hard to cultivate in the future," Qingtan stuck out her tongue and said playfully, "When I become stronger, I will protect Brother Lin Yi."
Lin Yi smiled indulgently, "Okay, it's settled then."
"Brother Lin Yi, I also want to work hard in my cultivation!" At this moment, Lin Changqiang, who was following behind the two, also spoke up solemnly.
"Huh, you haven't left yet?" Qingtan turned around and looked at him when she heard the voice, somewhat surprised.
Lin Changqiang scratched his head awkwardly. "I'm going back now. Goodbye, Brother Lin Yi and Qingtan."
After saying that, Lin Changqiang turned around and parted ways with Lin Yi and the other person.
Lin Yi, accompanied by Qing Tan, chatted and laughed all the way, and soon returned home.
After dinner, Lin Xiao put down his chopsticks and looked at Lin Yi, saying, "Did you get into another fight with Brother Lin Shan this evening?"
"Father, it has nothing to do with Brother Lin Yi, it's my fault..." Qing Tan said timidly.
Lin Dong pricked up his ears, ready to listen attentively.
Lin Xiao's face was expressionless, his gaze fixed on Lin Yi, and he said, "I heard you defeated Lin Hong?"
"Yes," Lin Yi nodded, admitting it directly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao's eyes flickered, and he pulled Lin Yi's arm to examine him.
"You've reached the sixth level of Body Tempering?"
After a while, Lin Xiao's face revealed an undisguised joy.
Lin Yi nodded. "Yes, I just broke through today."
"Haha, great!" Upon receiving Lin Yi's confirmation, Lin Xiao couldn't help but burst into laughter, his laughter filled with relief and joy.
Lin Dong's eyes widened, feeling both surprised and envious of Lin Yi.
However, Lin Dong has also made considerable progress during this period.
The day Lin Yi obtained the stone talisman, there was a drop of stone talisman spirit liquid, and another drop would be generated every five days.
Half a month has passed since then, and Lin Yi has obtained a total of four drops of Stone Talisman Spirit Liquid. He swallowed three drops and dripped the other drop into the stone pool.
Lin Yi told Lin Dong about the effects of the stone pool, and Lin Dong has been soaking in the stone pool every day for the past two weeks.
With the help of spiritual herbs, Lin Dong also broke through to the fourth level of Body Tempering today.
However, without the stone talisman, his progress in practicing Tongbei Fist was not as fast.
After his initial surprise, Lin Xiao inquired about the reason for Lin Yi's rapid breakthrough, but Lin Yi casually brushed it off and didn't delve into it further.
"It's getting late, go and rest first. You still have to cultivate tomorrow. There are still a few months until the clan competition, so we can't slack off," Lin Xiao said, waving his hand after skipping over the question.
"Ah."
Lin Yi responded and then walked out with Lin Dong and Qing Tan.
Even after they stepped out of the room, they could still hear Lin Xiao's hearty laughter.
After leaving the main house, Lin Yi waved goodbye to Lin Dong and Qing Tan, and then returned to his room.
After locking the door, Lin Yi took out the Fire Blood Mushroom from his Qiankun Ring and brought it close to the stone talisman.
Soon, he had two more elixir pills in his hand.
It was getting late, so Lin Yi stopped cultivating, put the pills into his Qiankun Ring, and went to bed to rest.
……
Since Lin Yi defeated Lin Hong with one punch, his reputation and status among the younger generation of the Lin family have greatly improved, almost rivaling that of Lin Xia, the number one among the younger generation of the Lin family!
Some even believe that Lin Yi might be even stronger than Lin Xia.
After all, Lin Xia doesn't seem to have a record of defeating Lin Hong in one move!
Thanks to this, in the days that followed, no one dared to provoke Lin Yi and his two siblings.
Even Lin Changqiang, because of his close relationship with Lin Yi and his two siblings, was able to hold his head high in the clan.
With no one to get in his way, Lin Yi was naturally happy to have some peace and quiet and devoted himself entirely to cultivation.
In addition to consuming the Stone Talisman Elixir, Lin Yi would also secretly go to the underground market in Qingyang Town to trade for Grade 3 spiritual herbs using diluted Stone Talisman Elixir, and then use the Stone Talisman to refine the spiritual herbs into pills.
Furthermore, the system would occasionally distribute rewards, making his cultivation resources abundant.
Without the constraints of resources, Lin Yi's cultivation progressed rapidly.
In just one month, Lin Yi broke through from the sixth level of Body Tempering to the seventh level.
Then it took another two months to break through to the eighth level of Body Tempering!
During this period, he also cultivated the second-grade martial art, the Eight Desolations Palm, to perfection.
Time always flies when you're fully immersed in something.
About two months have passed since Lin Yi broke through to the eighth level of Body Tempering, and his cultivation has reached a new minor hurdle.
After about two months of cultivation, the Yuan Power seed in Lin Yi's meridians had grown many times stronger, reaching the point where it could break through the dantian barrier.
Without hesitation, Lin Yi mobilized his Yuan Power Seed and used all his strength to break through the barrier in his dantian.
After only three attempts, the invisible barrier of the dantian was completely broken through!
This also means that Lin Yi's cultivation has successfully advanced to the ninth level of Body Tempering!
When the seed of Yuan energy rushed into his dantian, Lin Yi could feel a transformation, as if it were originating from the depths of his body.
That feeling was like a dragon rising to the sky, or a fish entering the sea!
"call……"
Lin Yi stopped cultivating and exhaled a long breath of white air.
The white mist shot out like an arrow, leaving a crater in the ground not far away!
Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes. The warm feeling coming from his lower abdomen made him feel comfortable all over and his whole body was full of energy.
On a whim, Lin Yi immediately assumed a fighting stance and unleashed a set of masterful fist techniques with fluid grace, the crisp cracking sounds echoing through the forest.
When the tenth crisp sound rang out, Lin Yi changed his fist stance, transforming it into a palm strike. Instantly, gusts of wind were broken through the air, and the powerful palm force left marks on the trees in the forest.
After finishing his palm strike, Lin Yi stood up, feeling refreshed and invigorated.
"Wow, Brother Lin Yi is amazing!"
Just then, a clear, melodious voice, like that of a lark, came from not far away.
Immediately, Qingtan's charming figure darted to Lin Yi's side like a butterfly flitting among flowers.
Qingtan looked at Lin Yi with a grin, her face full of admiration.
"That's nothing special. You haven't even truly entered the gate of cultivation yet," Lin Yi said, rubbing Qing Tan's head and shaking his head with a light laugh.
Upon hearing this, Qingtan's eyes widened. "Really? Then how does one truly enter the gate of cultivation?"
"At least reach the Earthly Origin Realm," Lin Yi pondered for a moment, then continued, "By the way, how's your cultivation going lately?"
After Qingtan was blocked while gathering herbs, she said she would start cultivating. Later, seeing Lin Yi and Lin Dong working harder than the other, she really started cultivating.
Hearing Lin Yi ask, Qing Tan's smile widened even more, "Hehe, I was just about to tell you some good news."
"Oh? What good news?" Lin Yi asked cooperatively.
Chapter 7: Even Slacking Off Gets a Reward? The Clan Competition is Coming!
Qingtan put her small hands behind her back, raised her chin slightly, and said in a sweet voice with a hint of pride, "I just broke through to the seventh level of Body Tempering."
"She's already reached the seventh level of Body Tempering so quickly! She's probably caught up with Sister Lin Xia. Qing Tan is truly amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Yi sincerely praised him.
"Hehe, I'm still not as good as Brother Lin Yi..." Qing Tan was very happy to receive Lin Yi's praise and said with a smile.
"How long have you been cultivating..." Lin Yi shook his head slightly, unable to help but admire the cultivation speed of the Demonic Body.
Qingtan has only been cultivating for a few months, without relying on any external forces, and she cultivates one day and plays the next.
Lin Dong, who bathes in a pool dripping with stone talisman liquid every day, and Lin Yi also gave him a lot of pills, has only reached the sixth level of Body Tempering so far!
As for Lin Yi himself, he used even more cultivation resources and cultivated very diligently.
However, Qing Tan has suffered from the cold over the years, and her body has been tempered countless times. It is not surprising that she can make such progress in the Body Tempering Realm.
"By the way, the clan competition is in three days. I'm sure Brother Lin Yi will win first place this time, right? I heard that the winner of the clan competition gets two grade three spiritual herbs as a reward!"
Suddenly, Qingtan seemed to remember something and said expectantly.
