Chapter 61: Yangyuan Dan

  Qingyang Town, Lei Family

  In a lavishly decorated grand hall, Lei Bao was lying comfortably on a soft couch, with two beautiful maidens carefully massaging him by his side.

  "What's going on with the Lin family?" Lei Bao suddenly opened his mouth after closing his eyes for a moment.

  "The Lin family has moved many of their men to Tie Mu Village, and the place is heavily guarded." A middle-aged man in brocade clothes replied from beside Lei Bao. This person was named Lei Pi, who ranked second only to Lei Bao in the Lei family, and he was also the father of Lei Li.

  "A group of country bumpkins, indeed can't be put on the stage." Upon hearing this, Lei Bao couldn't help but sneer, Ironwood Manor has already been destroyed by more than half, its value is far less than before, unexpectedly the Lin family still treats it like a treasure.

  "Hehe, although Tiewu Village is different from before, for a family like Lin's with such a shallow foundation, it is still a delicious cake. How could they easily give it up?" Lei Pi also smiled and said.

  "These bastards of the Lin family, they've caused our Lei family to lose Ironwood Manor! This matter can't be let go so easily!" Lei Bao opened his eyes, his gaze cold and menacing. He looked at Lei Pi beside him and said, "You go mobilize our Lei family's connections in Flame City. As long as the Lin family sells Ironwood, think of every way to suppress them. I want to make it so that the Lin family has nowhere to sell!"

  "Yes!"

  Upon hearing this, Lei Pi's face also revealed a cold smile, and he nodded.

  "How is Lei Li now?" Lei Bao suddenly asked.

  "This time I lost to that young master of the Lin family, it's a blow to me." Lei Pi sighed.

  "In martial arts competitions, winning and losing are common occurrences. If one can't even tolerate this, how will they accomplish great things in the future?"

  Leopard Brow furrowed his brow, then immediately said: "Go to the warehouse and bring out that stored 'Yangyuan Dan' for him. With this thing, his cultivation should be able to increase in speed a bit. Later on, when there's an opportunity, we'll cripple that little rabbit of the Lin family."

  "Thank you, Father."

  When he heard "Yangyuan Dan", Lei Pi's face also showed a hint of joy, and he hastily bowed and said.

  "Go, and also instruct someone to keep a close eye on the Lin family. Hmph, things from my Lei family are not that easily taken..." By the end of his words, Lei Bao's face was also filled with a cold and gloomy color.

  …

  After the Black Iron Panther was killed, the mining work began in a confidential manner. The people involved in the excavation were all strictly selected, and for these workers, the Lin family gave them extremely generous rewards, and also allowed them to bring their families to Tiewu Village, so that they could not only provide them with housing but also use this as a kind of implicit warning, lest someone leak the secret.

  As for this mining, Lin Dong was clearly not much help, but he didn't return to Qingyang Town just yet. The Tie Mu Village was adjacent to many deep mountains and ancient forests, where there were many demonic beasts, and he needed to hone himself here.

  When fighting against the guards at Lei's mansion, Lin felt clearly that his actual combat experience was insufficient. If it weren't for relying on the power of yuan and the subtlety of martial arts, he would have been busy dealing with just Dai En alone.

  As for actual combat, Lin Dong couldn't use humans as targets, so he set his sights on those ferocious demonic beasts instead. The deep mountains near the Ironwood Clan just happened to meet Lin Dong's requirements.

  …

  "Roar!"

  In the quiet forest, a sudden loud roar echoed, causing the leaves to tremble with fear.

  The line of sight shifted in the direction from which the roar came, and all that was seen was a giant wolf with its entire body emitting a green glow pouncing on a human figure like an arrow. However, just as the giant wolf's bloody mouth was about to bite off the person's neck, two fingers radiating masculine energy suddenly inserted into the wolf's soft abdomen, and scalding blood spurted out.

  Amidst the splashing of fresh blood, a figure pushed away the giant blue wolf on his body with one hand, panting heavily and continuously towards the sky. His body was covered in various wounds, clearly having gone through numerous battles.

  After panting for a few breaths, the figure finally got up, revealing a young face, which was Lin Dong. At this moment, he took a look at the giant blue wolf under his feet and couldn't help but smile.

  Qingfeng Wolf, also a kind of demon beast, has the strength comparable to that of the Earth Yuan realm. In these two months, Lin Dong had clashed with this guy several times, from initially fleeing in disarray to now killing it with one blow.

  Now Lin Dong, compared to two months ago, although his appearance hasn't changed much, yet he gives off a sharp and fierce aura, an aura that has nothing to do with his looks, but rather a kind of momentum, a true momentum that can only be possessed after experiencing life-or-death battles.

  After Lin Dong settled the Qingfeng Wolf, a fiery red shadow also emerged from the forest, biting the Qingfeng Wolf's corpse into pieces. However, it did not see the existence of the demon crystal and let out a dissatisfied low growl.

  Scarlet Shadow, naturally is Xiao Yan, these two months, it has also accompanied Lin Dong to experience the intense actual combat training, so now its body, there are some scars, all of which were caused by tearing and biting with some demon beasts.

  Nowadays, Xiao Yan has also gained a hint of bloodthirstiness after two months of intense battles. The scars on his body make him look even more ferocious, and the majestic aura of the Flame Python Tiger is gradually revealing itself.

  According to normal circumstances, Xiao Yan's growth rate is obviously very strange. Although since it fell into Lin Dong's hands, the food and drink have been extremely luxurious, and during this period of time, he has also swallowed some so-called demon crystals. However, in less than half a year, he transformed from a newborn cub to a body shape similar to that of an adult Flame Tiger, which is indeed a bit stunning.

  As Lin Dong knew, Wu Yun's fire python cub was only about the size of his thigh and its combat strength was far inferior to Xiao Yan's.

  As for the gap between them, Lin Dong was also fortunate amidst his astonishment. Fortunately, he had listened to Shi Xuan's choice that day. Xiao Yan was indeed somewhat special compared to the other two young ones.

  These two months of cultivation, Lin Dong and Xiao Yan have obviously made significant progress. However, the only thing that makes Lin Dong a little regretful is that he still lacks some fire power to enter the later stage of the Earth Yuan realm. Fortunately, the seven meridians of the Qingyuan skill have been thoroughly opened by him...

  So, all in all, the two months of forest training was quite effective.

  "It's getting late, time to head back..."

  Lin Dong took out a bottle from his bosom, poured out a spiritual medicine pill, and stuffed it into Xiao Yan's mouth. Then, looking at the remaining pills in the bottle, he couldn't help but sigh and shake his head. As Xiao Yan grew up, this guy was becoming more and more picky about food, and just the Stone Symbol Spiritual Liquid was no longer enough for him...

  He flipped over and rode on the tiger's back. Lin Dong made a whistle in his mouth, and Xiao Yan instantly turned into a fiery red shadow, quickly dashing out of the forest...

  …

  Back at the Ironwood Manor, Lin Dong first washed his body and changed into a new set of clothes before rushing straight to the back mountain, passing through layers of sealed lines and arriving smoothly at the mine.

  The present Hou Shan has obviously undergone a great change, with a tunnel deep into the mountain body, and the sound of knocking is constantly coming from inside.

  At the exit of the mine tunnel, Lin Xiao was standing with his hands behind his back. Next to him were two large boxes filled with pale red Yangyuan stones.

  "Dad, the harvest isn't bad, is it?" Lin Dong looked at the two large boxes of glittering Yangyuan stones and licked his lips, smiling.

  "There are still not many people available now, and the amount of Yangyuan stone excavated every day is limited. This is all the harvest for two months, a total of 487 pieces." Lin Xiao said, but looking at his appearance, he was extremely satisfied with this harvest. More than 400 pieces of Yangyuan stone, which is almost equivalent to the annual income of the Lin family in the past.

  "These over 400 pieces of Yangyuan stones should be able to exchange for over 40 pieces of Yangyuan pills."

  "Yangyuan Dan?" Lin Dong was taken aback and asked in surprise.

  "Some strong practitioners can extract the energy from the Yangyuan Stone and condense it into a Yangyuan Dan. That kind of elixir has an enormous effect on those below the Yuan Dan realm. However, according to the proportion, ten Yangyuan Stones might only yield one Yangyuan Dan... Hehe, for some major powers, Yangyuan Stones and Yangyuan Dans are more stable currencies than silver or gold..." Lin Xiao was clearly in a great mood, so he didn't mind explaining at length.

  "Oh?" Lin Dong was somewhat surprised, this kind of thing, he had never heard of before.

  "Father has already decided that tomorrow we will first transport three hundred yang yuan stones to Yan City, and then exchange them for some yang yuan dan, which will also increase the strength of our Lin family."

  "Are you going to Yan City tomorrow?" As soon as he heard this, Lin Dong's eyes instantly lit up with a hint of joy. Yan City was the largest city closest to Qingyang Town, and even in the entire Dayan Dynasty, Yan City had some reputation. The hustle and bustle and splendor there were far beyond what Qingyang Town could compare to.

  "Haha, you're now the great benefactor of the Lin family, don't worry, tomorrow I'll take you out to see the world." Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh at Lin Dong's appearance.

  Lin Dong chuckled and turned his head, gazing at the fully loaded Yang Yuan Stone beside him with a look of astonishment. Lin Xiao said a couple of words on the side before walking away, instructing the guards to keep a close watch.

  As Lin Xiao walked away, Lin Dong couldn't help but stretch out his right palm to grab three pieces of Yangyuan Stone. However, just as he grasped them, the stone symbol in the center of his palm suddenly transmitted a wave of fluctuations. Immediately after, the three pieces of Yangyuan Stone that were originally shining with a faint red light rapidly dimmed and lost their luster. In an instant, all the light dissipated, and they turned into a cloud of pink powder that drifted down.

  Looking at this sudden change, Lin Dong's face also changed instantly.

  At the beginning of the week, I'd be grateful if everyone could spare a vote after reading the update!
