Chapter Thirteen: Healing Injuries

  In the following days, Lin Dong's life returned to its usual rhythm. He would train crazily during the day and once he felt exhausted, he would sneak into a cave for no more than half an hour before emerging full of energy again. With each set of his Back Tiger Fist, the crisp slapping sounds echoed through the dense forest.

  Such high-intensity training, probably no one in the Lin family can achieve it. After all, the effect of that stone pool is not comparable to even ordinary third-grade spiritual medicine, and because it has been diluted, it is also quite mild and will not cause any harm to the body. It's indeed most suitable for someone like Lin Dong who is at the initial stage of cultivation.

  At night, Lin Dong would once again enter that dark spiritual space, where he would repeatedly temper his increasingly skilled Backhill Fist. Under such intense training, the progress of the Backhill Fist was also quite significant. By now, Lin Dong had already gradually mastered the nine resonances, and even the tenth resonance was becoming more profound. Although he still hadn't successfully cultivated it, Lin Dong understood that it was only a matter of time.

  Perhaps it was because of the strength shown by Lin Dong last time, that Lin Shan, who would normally come to find trouble every now and then, no longer dared to appear in front of Lin Dong. It seemed he also understood that going to look for trouble again would only be asking for suffering.

  Lin Shan's convergence also allowed Lin Dong to clear his mind for a while, which enabled him to focus all his energy on cultivation.

  In the blink of an eye, a week's time has passed quietly and fulfilling.

  During the week, Lin Dong was also looking for an opportunity to let Lin Xiao use the stone symbol, but since Lin Xiao had been running outside all this time, there were few opportunities, so he could only temporarily suppress his thoughts.

  However, when this oppression lasted until the eighth day, Lin Dong finally could no longer endure it, because Lin Xiao was injured again...

  When Lin Dong, who was practicing his skills, heard Qing Tan's anxious voice, his head almost buzzed on the spot. He then hastily flew back home, rushed into the room and saw Lin Xiao lying on the bed with a pale face as white as paper. There were also bloodstains seeping out from under his clothes.

  "Dad went to the deep mountains to pick herbs today, and as a result, he encountered a fierce monster..." Qingtan said in a low voice, her eyes slightly red after moving around.

  Upon hearing this, a surge of guilt suddenly welled up in Lin Dong's heart, and his eyes also reddened slightly.

  "What's there for a man to cry about, it's just a little injury." Lin Xiao also saw Lin Dong standing at the door, and his body slightly stiffened as he tried to put on a stern face, but the wound suddenly sent a sharp pain through him, causing his expression to twist.

  "It's already done, yet you're still being stubborn. I'll help you decoct this spiritual medicine first." On the side, Liu Yan glared at Lin Xiao with a hint of anger, then without saying a word, grabbed a nearby pale green herb.

  "Ah, that's for the young master!" Seeing this, Lin Xiao hastily said.

  "Mother, I'll go decoct the medicine, you and Qingtan take care of Father." Lin Xiao's words had just fallen when Lin Dong rushed in, snatched the spiritual medicine from Liu Yan's hand, threw down a sentence, and ran out without looking back.

  "This kid..."

  Lin Dong's speed was even faster than a rabbit, Lin Xiao also couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, shaking his head in exasperation, yet feeling a slight warmth in his heart.

  Not long after Lin Dong's departure, he returned again. This time, in his hand was a celadon bowl filled with deep green liquid medicine, and the fragrance of the medicine wafted out from afar.

  "Dad, drink your medicine." Lin Dong said with a smile as he walked up front.

  "Alas, you little scamp." Lin Xiao helplessly shook his head, but now the heartache was of no use, he could only take over the bowl, and without saying much, he gulped it down in one mouthful.

  Looking at Lin Xiao finishing the medicine, Lin Dong's eyes also flashed a hint of urgency. The medicine naturally had the Stone Symbol mixed in it, but it was unknown how much help the Stone Symbol Spirit Liquid would be to Lin Xiao's injuries.

  "Hmm."

  He downed the medicine in one gulp, and Lin Xiao put down the bowl, staring at Lin Dong who was still staring blankly at him. Just as he was about to scold him, his face suddenly turned bright red like a burning fire.

  "Dad!"

  When Lin Xiao suddenly changed into this appearance, Qing Tan beside him was frightened and lost his composure.

  "Hmph!"

  Under the pale face of Qingtan and Liu Yan, Lin Xiao's body temperature rose higher and higher, his face also becoming redder and redder. A moment later, his mouth suddenly opened wide, and a mouthful of foul-smelling black blood sprayed out directly.

  "Xiao Ge, are you alright?" Seeing Lin Xiao spitting out blood, Liu Yan rushed over in a hurry, her eyes filled with tears that had been rushed out. Lin Xiao was the pillar of this household, if something were to happen to him, how would this widowed mother and orphaned child survive?

  Lin Xiao's rapid breathing gradually subsided, the flush on his face quickly faded away, replaced by a slightly healthier-looking rosy complexion.

  "My wound..."

  Lin Xiao stared blankly at his palm, and in this instant, he could feel that the injuries accumulated in his body over the years had been washed away by a lot!

  That feeling of unimpeded circulation, made his body's five organs and six viscera, once again filled with surging power, this feeling, he had not experienced for many years.

  "Rong Yan, my wound, my wound..." Lin Xiao was so excited that his whole body trembled. He grasped Rong Yan's hands tightly, and his originally taciturn face now overflowed with ecstatic joy.

  Liu Yan was also startled by Lin Xiao's sudden excitement, and it took him a moment to regain his composure. His face also showed an unbelievable expression: "Your injury has healed?"

  "Alright, alright, hurry up, hurry up..."

  Lin Xiao's voice was incoherent with excitement, and finally, he couldn't help but hold Liu Yan tightly in his arms, throwing his head back and laughing loudly. In the midst of his laughter, there was a mix of relief and countless bitter sorrows. Over the years, due to the injuries within him, his strength had not progressed an inch. Although on the surface he pretended to be nonchalant, anyone could sense that the once proud and carefree Lin Xiao, the most spirited person in the Lin family, was gradually being replaced by decadence.

  However, heaven does not cut off a man's path, and unexpectedly, the injury that had shown no signs of recovery for years would change in this way today!

  Looking at his overjoyed and tearful parents, Lin Dong also wiped away a tear, then smiled wryly. The effect of the Stone Symbol Spirit Medicine had far exceeded his expectations. In the future, if he came back a few more times, it wouldn't be difficult to completely cure Lin Xiao's injuries.

  When the injury heals, Lin Xiao's stagnant strength will surely surge again!

  Lin Dong took a light breath in his heart and then pulled Qingtan, whose small face was full of joy, out of the room slowly.

  "Ah."

  Gently closing the door, Lin Dong's face also revealed a faint smile, and he whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Dad, don't worry, you will definitely become the pillar of the Lin family again!"

  (Rushing to go out of town, sorry.)
