Chapter Thirty-One: The Demonic Prodigy

  In the dense forest, Lin Dong stood with his fists clenched, and a hint of weakness also spread throughout his body. With his current strength, using the Gate of Wonder once would almost exhaust half of the yuan force stored in the yuan force seed. Fortunately, that power was worth such extravagance.

  "The primal seed cannot store too much primal energy. If it reaches the ninth level of body refinement, that would be a lot better..."

  The ninth refinement of the body is to be able to open up the elixir field, and the capacity of the elixir field is naturally far beyond that of the original energy seed. At that time, it will also have the capital to squander.

  "This period of cultivation has also quickly consumed the spiritual medicine pellets..."

  Thinking of cultivation, Lin's eyebrows furrowed, and in just half a month, he reached the eighth level. However, the price paid was not small either. The Stone Symbol Spirit Liquid had been used in unknown quantities, and the Water Crystal Zhu Fruit Dan pills had all been consumed. Even the six Dan pills refined from the Fire Blood Chi now only had two left...

  To sum it up, this one and a half months of practice has almost drained Lin Dong's collection.

  "Must find a way to look for the divine medicine..."

  Lin Dong let out a soft sigh, his face showing a hint of contemplation. Although he had already demonstrated enough strength to gain some resources from the Lin family, ordinary spiritual medicine pellets were now beneath him. However, three-grade spiritual medicine was an expensive thing, and even the Lin family wouldn't have a large stockpile of it. The last time they rewarded him with two Fire Blood Ganoderma in one go was already a very good treatment.

  "Lin Dong Ge."

  When Lin Dong was somewhat worried about how to find the spiritual medicine, a soft voice suddenly sounded outside the dense forest. Immediately after that, Qingtan flashed in like a butterfly, her small face red and full of joyful color.

  "Qingtan, what's up?" Lin Dong glanced over and bent down to pick up the broken stone pedestal, chuckling as he spoke.

  "Lin Dongge, I've cultivated yuanli!"

  Bang!

  The stone pedestal in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, smashing a large pit on the ground. Lin Dong turned his head and stared blankly at Qingtan.

  "Primordial Power?! You've reached the sixth layer of Body Tempering?! How is that possible?!"

  After the initial shock, Lin Dong also suddenly came back to his senses, and his face almost instantly surged with a look of horror. Although Qingtan had been saying that she wanted to cultivate during this period of time, she had always been somewhat lazy, after all, refining her body nine times was truly too exhausting, and it wasn't suitable for some girls.

  According to his prediction, Qingtan thought that even if he secretly helped her reach the sixth level of Tempering Body, it would take at least half a year. However...now, Qingtan had come to tell him that she already possessed Yuan Force!

  This kind of thing is even more unbelievable than him getting the Stone Token.

  On Lin Dong's face, which was filled with astonishment, Qingtan stretched out a hand as white as jade. On it, there was indeed a faint glow surging, that familiar fluctuation, was indeed the Yuan Force...

  "How is this possible?" Lin Dong took a deep breath of cool air, shocked, he had never seen Qingtan cultivate bitterly before, how could she suddenly have yuan power?

  If his speed was astonishing, then Qingtan's speed could only be described as monstrous.

  "I don't know either... When I woke up in the morning, my body felt a bit off, and then I found this..." Qingtan said with a hint of shyness.

  Lin Dong's expression gradually became serious, he grasped Qingtan's jade-like hand, the part where his hand touched was soft and smooth, however, just as he applied a bit of force, he could feel the other person's bones, surprisingly, it gave off a flexible feeling, that kind of feeling, obviously had to be tempered for a long time before one could possess it.

  As he carefully probed, he suddenly discovered that beneath the tenderness, there seemed to be a faint chill.

  "It's because of the cold air inside Qingtan!"

  Suddenly, a flash of insight burst into Lin Dong's mind. The last time, he had discovered that the cold and gloomy aura within Qing Tan's body, although violent, had a significant effect on his physical refinement. Of course, this effect probably only applied to Lin Dong and Qing Tan who possessed the Stone Symbol.

  That chill, over the past decade or so, would erupt every now and then. And although Qingtan suffered greatly from these eruptions, perhaps her body was also undergoing changes as it was eroded by this chill.

  This cold energy has been tempered, although subtle, but it is inch by inch into the bone, until now, even without Qingtan's active bitter practice, the bones and flesh in her body have already reached an extremely strong level, and the emergence of yuan power is simply a natural process.

  Her body, without any acquired bitter practice, naturally gave birth to yuan power...

  "The body of Qingtan must have a place that is different from others."

  The shock in his heart was slowly suppressed by Lin Dong's calm tone, this kind of thing that didn't require cultivating the body, yet the body would naturally produce Yuan Power seeds, he had never even heard of it before. If this were to spread out, who knows how many people still struggling to cultivate and climb up to the sixth layer would spit blood?

  Of course, it's not right to say that either. After all, from a young age, every outbreak of cold air has been torturing Qingtan to the point of near death. Therefore, for this naturally born Yuanli seed, Qingtan has indeed paid a price.

  "This matter, don't mention it for now, wait until Father comes back and see what he says..." Lin Dong said after a moment of hesitation.

  "En." Qing Tan nodded obediently, she also knew the strangeness of this matter. If it were to spread, who knows what kind of trouble it would bring.

  "Lin Dong, these days are just right at the end of the month. The Trading Post in Qingyang Town will be bustling with activity. Why don't we go take a stroll?" Qingtan's clear and limpid eyes held a hint of entreaty as she looked at Lin Dong, her voice full of expectation.

  "What's Trading Post?"

  Lin Dong was taken aback, this kind of fair is usually co-organized by some big businessmen in Qingyang Town, all kinds of things are sold there, so it's very popular, and it can be said that it's one of the most popular places in Qingyang Town.

  "Yes, yes, they've all gone... Lin Xia and the others..." Qing Tan nodded repeatedly. The young girl had a lively personality and also quite liked those places, but she was currently under house arrest and didn't dare sneak out alone, so she thought of dragging Lin Dong along too.

  Lin Dong muttered to himself, but his mind suddenly stirred. He urgently needed a spiritual medicine now, perhaps he could go to the Trading Post for a trip. Of course, buying spiritual medicine required a lot of money, and Lin Dong naturally didn't have that kind of huge sum on hand. However, he did have the Stone Symbol Spirit Liquid and the last two Spiritual Medicine Pills...

  These two things, the value is obviously not going to drop, especially those two Dan pills refined from Huoxue Zhi, are extremely valuable. Moreover, these two things are extremely pure, and their effect is much better than ordinary spiritual medicine. If they were taken out for sale, there would certainly be many people willing to buy them, but the sales also cannot be too high, lest it arouse suspicion.

  Furthermore, Lin Dong couldn't bear to give away too much of the Stone Symbol Spirit Liquid and Danwan, a cultivation treasure, to others.

  And with this money, buying more elixirs is an extremely simple matter...

  At this point, Lin Dong's face also couldn't help but reveal a smile of relief, as if the most difficult problem had finally found a solution.

  "Let's go and take a look at the trading post."

  With a decision made, Lin Dong no longer delayed, waving his hand and smiling.

  When Lin Dong agreed to accompany her to the Trading Post, Qingtan's eyes suddenly became as sweet as a crescent moon, intoxicatingly sweet.
