#40 - Yangyuan Stone Mine

After these few days of practical combat.

Demonic beasts at the Earth Origin Realm are no longer a match for Lin Yun.

Lin Yun had also sparred with Hu Ying, and Hu Ying, who was at the middle stage of the Heaven Origin Realm, was even inferior to Lin Yun in terms of strength and speed.

Lin Yun's Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill had already been cultivated to the third level.

For each level of this skill that is mastered, it increases the strength of one dragon and one elephant.

Lin Yun now possesses the power of three dragons and three elephants, exceeding ten thousand pounds of brute force.

The Fire Python Tiger was simply no match for him, and the Eight-Step Chasing Cicada and Flowing Wind Body Technique had both reached the point of near perfection, possessing intermediate-level body technique talent, and even Hu Ying found it difficult to touch him in terms of agility and speed.

In addition, he also had the high-grade treasure weapon engraved with runes, the Mountain Piercing Spear.

In a real fight, Hu Ying was probably no match for Lin Yun.

The two Black Iron Demon Leopards were only at the early stage of the Heaven Origin Realm, so it goes without saying.

To prevent the two Black Iron Demon Leopards from escaping.

Lin Yun and Hu Ying slowly approached.

"The air is a bit hot.", Lin Yun murmured.

The closer they got to the Black Iron Demon Leopards' location, the more they felt the heat in the air.

"Master, I sense a rich Yang Gang Qi underground in this area, there should be a mineral vein.", Chi Ling transmitted to Lin Yun.

"Yes, let's deal with the Black Iron Demon Leopards first.", Lin Yun nodded.

Soon, two black leopard shadows appeared in his sight.

There was a slightly sunken valley.

The two Black Iron Demon Leopards were lying together in that valley, the underground Yang Yuan Stone mineral vein was like floor heating, very comfortable, the two leopards hugged each other, they seemed to be a pair.

Hu Ying was slightly distracted when he saw the two interdependent leopards.

It seemed to recall the past, when it and its tiger partner were also like this, carefree, loving each other.

Perhaps because of empathy, Hu Ying's footsteps were slightly hesitant.

"Don't worry, I won't kill them, I just need to tame them, make them submit to me, like you, and they can continue to enjoy this carefree life.", Lin Yun transmitted to Hu Ying.

Hu Ying looked at Lin Yun gently, feeling very gratified in its heart, the master did not treat them demon beasts as livestock.

"Roar!"

The Black Iron Demon Leopards were indeed Heaven Origin Realm demon beasts, they had already noticed Lin Yun and the others approaching.

They quickly got up and immediately entered attack mode.

The two leopards were smaller than Hu Ying, their black fur was as hard as iron, roaring at the man and the tiger, seemingly sensing Hu Ying's strength, they did not rush over, but wanted to drive them away by roaring.

"Attack!"

Lin Yun quickly charged towards the two leopards, and Hu Ying followed closely behind.

"Roar!" "Roar!"

The Black Iron Demon Leopards' movements were like lightning, agile and swift, rushing towards Lin Yun and Hu Ying respectively.

After all, they were Heaven Origin Realm demon beasts, they also had their own pride, unwilling to give up their territory.

Moreover, this place was warm, filled with Yang Gang Qi, which could allow them to grow faster.

"Mountain Shaking Fist!"

Lin Yun did not use the Mountain Piercing Spear, but put on the Thunder Pattern Gauntlets and engaged in close combat with the Black Iron Demon Leopards.

Bang bang bang!

The fists hit the Black Iron Demon Leopards' bodies, making dull sounds, the Black Iron Demon Leopards were true to their name, their bodies as hard as iron, ordinary weapons were useless against them.

Those hairs were also like steel needles, very prickly.

Fortunately, Lin Yun wore the Thunder Pattern Gauntlets.

After fighting for more than twenty rounds, the Black Iron Demon Leopard was beaten dizzy by Lin Yun, the effect of the Mountain Shaking Fist was manifested, on the surface there was no injury, but the body was about to be shaken apart.

"Roar!"

The Black Iron Demon Leopard knew it was no match, roared angrily, notifying the other Black Iron Demon Leopard fighting with Hu Ying, preparing to escape.

However, the other Black Iron Demon Leopard was already entangled by Hu Ying and could not escape at all.

Lin Yun would not give it a chance to escape, fighting for so long was just to wear down the Black Iron Demon Leopard's sharpness, so that it would be easier to use the spiritual imprint later.

"Get down!"

Lin Yun punched the Black Iron Demon Leopard away, then grabbed its head with both palms and pressed it hard on the ground, the powerful force made the Black Iron Demon Leopard unable to resist.

After a while, the other Black Iron Demon Leopard was also taken down by Hu Ying, but that Black Iron Demon Leopard was in a worse state, with many wounds on its body, Hu Ying's attacks were not as controlled as Lin Yun's.

The two Black Iron Demon Leopards were subdued, making unwilling and angry low roars.

"The strength is not bad, no wonder the Lei family has been letting it go."

Lin Yun secretly commented.

These two Black Iron Demon Leopards were very strong in terms of not only strength, speed, and defense.

Ordinary early-stage Heaven Origin Realm cultivators were simply no match for them.

Even mid-stage Heaven Origin Realm cultivators, in a one-on-one fight, would not necessarily be able to take them down.

If they were determined to escape, it was estimated that even late-stage Heaven Origin Realm experts would not be able to catch up.

If the Lei family wanted to eliminate them, it was probably necessary for Lei Bao to lead the team personally.

However, these two Black Iron Demon Leopards only lived in this low-lying valley area and did not go out to interfere with the Lei family's Ironwood Village.

The Lei family did not want to risk the effort to deal with them.

The two sides were at peace, and the Lei family naturally had no way to discover the Yang Yuan Stone mineral vein beneath this land.

In the original work, these two Black Iron Demon Leopards were killed by the Lin family, because Lin Dong discovered the Yang Yuan Stone mineral vein under the territory of these two guys, and they could not be mined without killing them.

Lin Yun began to do ideological work, communicating with the two Black Iron Demon Leopards through spiritual power.

With the previous experience of persuading Hu Ying.

This time, he only used one sentence to persuade the two Black Iron Demon Leopards.

"You don't want to be separated from your leopard partner, do you?"

Under Lin Yun's tyranny, the two Black Iron Demon Leopards successfully accepted Lin Yun's spiritual imprint.

Lin Yun thought for a while, it was time to give them a name, seeing the two leopards being so affectionate, he was also envious, so a flash of inspiration, he said, "From now on, you will be called Leopard Treasure and Leopard Strength!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The two Black Iron Demon Leopards nodded obediently.

"A reward for you."

Lin Yun fed Leopard Strength and Leopard Treasure each a Rejuvenation Pill to help them recover.

Then he rewarded Hu Ying's family of four with Qi and Blood Pills and Beast Pills.

After they took the pills and recovered almost completely, Lin Yun immediately arranged tasks for them.

"Alright, now, let's start working, Hu Ying, you take the three little ones, and Leopard Strength, Leopard Treasure, dig for me, dig wherever it's hot, dig underground."

"Roar!"

The six demon beasts began to dig like they had been injected with chicken blood.

Lin Yun was on the side receiving the rewards just now, "Two bottles of Fifth-Grade Yuan Qi Pills" and "Two bottles of Fourth-Grade Soul Nourishing Pills."

Then he took the Soul Nourishing Pills to restore the spiritual power he had just consumed.

"Roar!"

After a while, Little Flame called out excitedly.

I saw its claws, digging out a light red stone.

Little Flame picked up the stone and sent it to Lin Yun like a treasure.

"Not bad!", Lin Yun praised and patted Little Flame's head.

Then he took the stone.

Is this the Yang Yuan Stone... Lin Yun looked at it, the stone block was not distinct in its edges and corners, the whole body was light red, but it looked slightly transparent, like a crystal stone, a faint temperature permeated from this crystal stone, as if holding a ball of sunlight.

Yang Yuan Stone, a rather special crystal stone, generally can only be born in the depths of volcanoes, this crystal stone, not only absorbs the Yuan Power between heaven and earth, but also after a long period of immersion in magma, it is integrated with a trace of Yang Gang Power in it.

For the strong who are about to break through the Heaven Origin Realm and have already reached the Heaven Origin Realm, the Yang Yuan Stone is the most suitable cultivation resource.

This kind of stone almost never appears alone, as long as one appears, it proves that there is a mineral vein.

[Task: Find a Yang Yuan Stone mineral vein. Reward: A bag of Yang Yuan Pills. Completed, do you want to receive it?]
