Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Unexpected Turn of Events

  The ninth layer of Jin's entry, to be honest, didn't exceed Lin Dong's expectations. After more than two months of cultivation, plus the accumulation of many spiritual medicines and elixirs, the yuan force seed in his body had already reached the point where it could break through the barrier of the dantian.

  And that's why he has been accumulating, because Lin Dong's ambition is slightly bigger, as he wants to try and break through the ninth layer at once!

  This idea, when spoken out loud, is indeed a bit crazy. The gap between the 9th layer of Quenching Body and Earth Yuan Realm may only be one step apart, but the difference between them is extremely large. To put it bluntly, a master in the Earth Yuan Realm can easily take down three or four people at the 9th layer of Quenching Body, and this is the gap.

  Many people when they reach the ninth level of body refinement, are steady and stable in their cultivation, waiting for the yuan force in the dantian to grow to a certain extent before daring to impact the earth yuan boundary. Those who think like Lin Dong are extremely rare.

  Of course, this move is crazy, but for Lin Dong, it's not entirely unacceptable. His yuan force seed is much stronger than ordinary people, and after absorbing many dan pills and spiritual medicines over this period of time, plus the considerable savings in his hands, he actually has a bit of capital to play with.

  "Ah..."

  A mouthful of white air was spat out along Lin Dong's throat, like a sharp arrow, and his slightly closed eyes also slowly opened. The warm feeling emanating from his lower abdomen filled his entire body with power.

  "After opening the dantian, it's indeed different from before..."

  Feeling the changes within, Lin Dong's spirit was also somewhat excited. The opening of the dantian is of utmost importance for cultivation, it's the most crucial foundation in one's practice!

  "If you enter the local realm later, you will be able to cultivate the secret book of Gongfa, and at that time, the power of Yuanli will also increase..."

  Ancient manual, just two simple words, yet enough to trigger countless disputes in many places. Ancient manuals are different from martial arts. Martial arts can maximize the power of yuan force, while ancient manuals can strengthen yuan force from the most fundamental level!

  According to some vague information that Lin Dong knew, the Secret Art Scripture also had a ranking system, but it was not as numerous as martial arts, with only three levels.

  From low to high, third-rate secret recipe, second-rate secret recipe, first-rate secret recipe, simple, popular, but practical.

  In the Lin family, there is also a secret manual of Gongfa, but it's only third-rate. However, the original of this manual has always been kept by Lin Zhen Tian himself. Only high-ranking experts who have entered the Earth Yuan realm in the family can know about the existence of the manual and practice it.

  As for that secret manual, Lin Dong had only occasionally heard Lin Xiao mention it briefly, although he hadn't listened very clearly, but he also understood the importance of that thing.

  On the bed, Lin Dong shook his head and threw away the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind. It's still a bit early to think about this now. When he really enters the Earth Yuan realm, Lin Zhen Tian will give him that secret recipe for cultivation without him saying anything.

  Lin Dong reached under his pillow and felt around, then pulled out two bottles. One bottle contained over a dozen bright red dan beads, while the other emitted a cold aura, with several pale white yin pearls releasing an icy, bone-piercing chill.

  Lin Dong first took out two dan pills, then stuffed them into his mouth. It took nearly half an hour for him to fully absorb the powerful medicinal properties. After absorbing the dan pills, the yuan force in his dantian also became somewhat turbulent.

  Feeling the surging of the yuan force in his dantian, Lin Dong finally took out a yin bead from another bottle. The icy cold air was piercing to the bone, and even though Lin Dong's palm was already wrapped in yuan force, he still felt a sharp pain.

  The so-called local boundary, in the end, is to merge the yuan force inside the body with the yin evil energy, making the yuan force stronger. At this stage, the most important thing is to absorb the yin evil energy between heaven and earth.

  Of course, the ordinary yin evil energy between heaven and earth is naturally not in Lin Dong's eyes. These yin beads absorbed from Qing Tan's body have all reached the fifth grade quality. If they are successfully merged, they will naturally appear stronger.

  Holding this yin pearl, Lin Dong took a deep breath and then without hesitation, directly stuffed it into his mouth.

  As the yin bead entered his body, Lin Dong's body almost instantly stiffened, and a cold aura wildly spread out. His skin was also covered with tiny ice crystals.

  A chill ran through his body, but fortunately, after this period of cultivation, Lin Dong's physique had become quite robust, and he was able to withstand the invasion of such coldness.

  "Heh heh..."

  Lin Dong's face turned pale, his teeth chattering constantly. He could feel that the dark bead had entered his body and quickly rushed into his dantian. As the dark bead entered, his originally calm dantian suddenly became turbulent...

  Feeling the collision of yuan force and yin evil energy, Lin Dong's complexion also changed slightly. It wasn't until now that he realized that this time was indeed a bit too much for him. Facing the erosion of yin evil energy, the yuan force in his dantian was actually unable to resist!

  "Hmph!"

  The movement in his dantian grew more intense, and after about ten minutes or so, Lin Dong's face finally flushed with a red glow, and a mouthful of fresh blood couldn't help but spurt out. The fresh blood contained clusters of ice shards.

  It is clear that Lin Dong's actions this time ultimately ended in failure.

  "What a pity..."

  Lin wiped away the blood from his mouth, and a hint of rosiness gradually returned to his pale face. He first shook his head in regret, then looked thoughtful. Although this impact on the yuan boundary had failed, he had gained a lot of experience, and it couldn't be said that there was no harvest at all. At least, in his dantian, there was a faint wisp of dark energy mixed with a ball of yuan force, although very little, but also a kind of progress.

  Put away the vial, Lin Dong poured two drops of Shengyuan Spirit Liquid into his mouth, only then did he walk out of the room. Although a single Yin Pearl ultimately only merged with a hint of Yin evil energy, but for Lin Dong who possessed enough Yin Pearls, it wasn't too big of a problem. With this experience, he had confidence that next time would be even more successful...

  Setting foot in local territory is only a matter of time.

  …

  Time is like water, unknowingly, autumn leaves and winter arrives, snowflakes dance in the air, the earth is covered in silver and white, suddenly it's beautiful.

  And in Qingyang Town, wrapped in snowflakes, the town's atmosphere also gradually reached its peak, as there were less than ten days left until the hunting activity.

  …

  A vast expanse of forest blanketed with a thick layer of snow, two figures swiftly intersecting, fists and palms colliding, the powerful gusts of wind scattering the snowflakes within a radius of several feet.

  Two figures, one steady and the other fluttering like a butterfly, with jade-like hands waving in between, nimble and agile, yet somehow elegant.

  Bang!

  The two palms collided, and a figure's shoulder shook, releasing the force, but the girl retreated several steps in a row.

  "It's no use, I won't be able to beat you no matter what." The girl pouted her small mouth and gazed at the boy in front of her, scolding him.

  Looking at the girl with a pout, Lin Dong smiled slightly, feeling very surprised at her progress in his heart. In just over a month, Qingtan had made a breakthrough to the eighth level of Tempering Body under his guidance and with the help of her special physique, which was now within reach.

  Moreover, the martial arts that Lin Dong taught Qingtan during this period were also cultivated to a fairly pure level. Now Qingtan is no longer as powerless as before. According to Lin Dong's speculation, among the younger generation of the Lin family, those who can surpass Qingtan are probably only Lin Hong and Lin Xia.

  "Lin Dong, in just a few more days, it will be the hunting competition. You must work harder!" Qing Tan walked closer to Lin Dong, stretched out her small hand and gently wiped away the snowflakes on his shoulder, smiling sweetly.

  Looking at the slender and elegant girl in front of him, Lin Dong also smiled and nodded, stretching out his palm to pat the top of Qingtan's small head. However, just as his palm was about to make contact, Lin Dong's body suddenly stiffened, and a hint of shock surged into his eyes.

  In Lin Dong's astonished gaze, his right palm, which had been hiding the mysterious stone symbol, suddenly burst out with a dazzlingly strong light. In that instant when the strong light appeared, Qing Tan was blinded and directly fainted.

  While Qingtan was unconscious, Lin Dong's palm burst out with a strong suction force again. Under this suction force, the terrifying yin evil energy inside Qingtan's body surged out like a tide, and finally rushed into Lin Dong's body along his palm.

  Under the erosion of that terrifying cold air, Lin Dong's body surface was almost covered with a thin layer of ice in just over ten seconds.

  And his whole body also transformed into an ice man at this time.

  (The following words may be a bit redundant, but I still hope that whether you're watching the authentic version or pirated version, you can see this, thank you.)

  There are brilliant works like Dou Po Cang Qiong ahead, and many people can't help but compare two books. Of course, even I have to admit that the brilliance of Dou Po Cang Qiong is too strong, and Wu Dong has a long way to go to reach that height. However, at least there's one thing - I'll do my best to make Wu Dong exciting.

  The recommendation list has always been hovering between third and fourth place, with a considerable distance from the front.

  Regarding piracy, it's an inevitable thing. I once heard the administrator say that in the new book's tieba, there are some enthusiastic friends who are shouting as much as possible to get more readers to come to Hongxiu Net and vote for a recommendation ticket for the new book, add a collection. For these friends, I am indeed very moved and grateful in my heart.

  The current Wudong is still a public version and will not charge any fees, so I still hope that during this time period, readers who read pirated versions can come to Hongxiu Tianxiang Net to support the new book and make its achievements better.

  The glory of Doupo is too strong, the pressure is not small, the road to Wudong will never be calm, and its achievements and many honors still depend on everyone.

  I hope that Wu Dong Qian Kun can once again accompany everyone and spend a year or two together, that is my ultimate goal.

  This week, as long as Wu Dong can stay at the top of the recommended list, I will try my best to maintain three updates.

  This is a spur to myself. To all the readers of Wudong, here I sincerely hope that everyone can join me in making this book, Wudong Qiankun, glorious again!

  Thank you very much!
