#68 - You are insulting me, little mink.
Ironwood Manor!
“Boom!”
Suddenly, a powerful surge of Yuan Power erupted from the depths of the houses.
Everyone in Ironwood Manor was shaken by this surge.
This was not the power that a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert could emit.
Everyone's gaze turned towards the depths in unison, only to see a huge Yuan Power vortex appear in the mid-air there.
The Yuan Power vortex was like a tornado from top to bottom, with its lower end directly inserted into the house.
This scene was too shocking.
“That’s Yuan’er’s room!”
“Looking at the momentum, he is breaking through to the Yuan Dan Realm!”
“Our Lin family is finally going to have a Yuan Dan Realm expert.”
Lin Zhentian, Lin Ken, and the others were all extremely excited.
At their age, nothing made them happier than seeing the younger generation of the clan excel, as it represented the prosperity of the family.
When Lin Yun was at the Heavenly Yuan Realm, he was already capable of defeating a Yuan Dan Realm Lesser Completion.
Now that he is breaking through to the Yuan Dan Realm, he would probably be able to fight against a Yuan Dan Realm Greater Completion.
“Yuan’er is so outstanding, what star level will his Yuan Dan reach?”
Lin Zhentian stared with fiery eyes, anticipating the quality of Lin Yun's Yuan Dan.
As the Yuan Power vortex was continuously absorbed, shrinking and condensing.
It finally transformed into a thumb-sized… Golden Core!
The faint golden light that shot out made Lin Zhentian and the others think they were seeing things, and they rubbed their eyes vigorously.
“How can it be, isn’t the Yuan Dan white?”
“Could it be that I’m seeing things?”
The next second, the golden light disappeared!
Lin Yun opened his mouth in the room and swallowed the Golden Core.
“How strange, there are no star patterns?”
Lin Yun touched his head, somewhat puzzled. His Yuan Dan was pure gold in color, round, full, and smooth, without any star patterns appearing.
The quality of the Yuan Dan formed in the Yuan Dan Realm is generally judged according to the number of star patterns on the Yuan Dan, with one star being the lowest and nine stars being the highest.
“Golden Core, no star patterns, am I cultivating immortality?” Lin Yun smiled wryly.
Although there were no so-called star patterns, Lin Yun was sure that his Yuan Dan was very powerful.
It was formed by the strongest Yin and Yang energies, so it was understandable that it was special.
[Task: Break through to the Lesser Yuan Dan Realm. Reward: Physique +2, Aptitude +2, Charm +2. Completed, claim reward?]
“Claim!”
[Physique 32 (One in a thousand) – Physique 34 (One in a thousand)]
[Aptitude 37 (One in a thousand) – Aptitude 39 (One in a thousand)]
[Charm 33 (One in a thousand) – Charm 35 (One in a thousand)]
“So comfortable!”
Lin Yun lay down and relaxed, letting the attribute energy transform his body, groaning in pleasure.
… …
“Heavenly Demon Marten?!”
Lin Dong's mind was in a daze. After a brief exchange, he already knew that this rat was called Heavenly Demon Marten, but he didn't know what Heavenly Demon Marten was.
It should be some kind of demon beast. I'll ask Brother Lin Yun later. He raised so many pet beasts, he should know… Lin Dong thought of Lin Yun in his heart. He was still a little worried and distrustful of this rat he just met.
Although this guy claimed to be a marten, he had a rat-like face, and he looked like a cunning fellow at first glance.
I can’t trust him!
The key was that the Stone Talisman was his most precious thing, and with such a hidden danger in it, he couldn't use it with peace of mind.
Compared to that, Lin Dong felt more at ease by Brother Lin Yun's side.
“Someone outside has broken through, and the momentum is quite strong. His Yuan Dan is so special, it’s actually golden. That person should be called Lin Yun, right? He’s much more powerful than you.”
“The Stone Talisman should have chosen him!”
Little Marten's mental perception was more sensitive than Lin Dong's. Although it was in the Stone Talisman, it knew everything that was happening in Ironwood Manor. It saw the process of Lin Yun's breakthrough and was really surprised.
You must know that at its level, it could hardly find a Yuan Dan Realm expert that could surprise it.
And this small Qingyang Town actually produced such a special existence.
“Brother Lin Yun broke through?”
Lin Dong was pleasantly surprised. He stared at Little Marten with all his attention, without any intention of caring about the outside world.
“By the way, why did you kid tell him about the existence of the Stone Talisman?” Little Marten remembered that Lin Dong had shown the Stone Talisman to Lin Yun in the underground cave before.
“He is my brother, the person I trust the most!” Lin Dong said without hesitation.
Little Marten said with a solemn expression, “Kid, you still don’t know how important the existence of the Stone Talisman is. I’ll remind you, it’s best not to let anyone know about this thing, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. Whether you’re doing it for the good of the people around you or not, don’t say it.”
“Consequences, what serious consequences will there be?” Lin Dong couldn’t help but ask curiously.
Looking at the serious and concerned look of this rat, it didn't seem like it was lying to him.
“Look at Marten-sama’s current situation, it’s the consequence of exposing the Stone Talisman back then.”
Little Marten looked slightly lonely and said,
“You probably can’t imagine how powerful Marten-sama was back then. Someone like you, Marten-sama could kill ten thousand eight thousand with a fart.”
“So, if you expose the Stone Talisman, not only will your life be in danger, but your entire family, even the entire Great Yan Dynasty, will be buried with you.”
Lin Dong frowned tightly. The next second, he said, “If it’s that serious, then I have to tell Brother Lin Yun even more!”
“You…”
Little Marten almost vomited blood in anger.
However, when it thought of Lin Yun, it was also extremely curious. It couldn't see through that kid.
They were both in the Yuan Dan Realm, but Lin Yun's Yuan Power was terrifyingly strong, even stronger than its Heavenly Demon Power when it was young.
You must know that the Heavenly Demon Marten clan could even tear dragons apart, but this power was actually not as good as a human.
“Don’t worry, Brother Lin Yun won’t harm me. If I can’t even trust Brother Lin Yun, then there’s no one in this world worth trusting.” Lin Dong comforted Little Marten.
The main reason was that Little Marten said it too seriously. The Stone Talisman would actually bring about a clan extermination disaster, and he felt that he couldn’t handle it.
He had to do it with Brother Lin Yun!
Since exposure would also affect Brother Lin Yun, then it didn't matter if he told him. Moreover, he had shown Lin Yun the Stone Talisman in his palm before. Although Lin Yun didn't delve into the secret of the Stone Talisman, he also knew about the existence of the Stone Talisman.
If Lin Yun didn't take it seriously and accidentally said it, it would be bad instead.
He might as well tell Lin Yun the seriousness of the Stone Talisman and let him know to keep it a secret.
He could also help him protect the Stone Talisman.
Lin Dong admired Lin Yun's strength very much, and it gave him a sense of security that no one else could match.
Of course, it was still the same sentence, compared to this rat that looked sinister and cunning, he trusted his Brother Lin Yun more.
… … …
“Brother Lin Yun, it’s him, this rat!”
In Lin Yun's room, after Lin Dong told Lin Yun what had just happened, he forcibly summoned Little Marten from the Stone Talisman.
A marten shadow, black all over but with a little purple light, with some magical runes on its forehead, floated in mid-air. It stared blankly at Lin Yun.
“Heavenly Demon Marten, never heard of it?” Lin Yun shook his head, finding it funny in his heart. So this was what Little Marten looked like when it was down on its luck, it really looked like a rat.
“Hmph, you ignorant people, Marten-sama won’t bother with you.”
Little Marten snorted coldly and reminded again, “It was Lin Dong kid who insisted on telling you about the existence of the Stone Talisman. I’m reminding you, it’s best not to expose the Stone Talisman, otherwise it will bring a disaster to you.”
“A common man is not guilty, but he who possesses a jade tablet is.”
“Don’t worry, we’re not that stupid.”
Lin Yun said seriously.
“Although Marten-sama is unwilling to admit it, you are indeed very outstanding. Whether it is among the human race or looking at the entire continent, few can reach your level in the same realm.”
Little Marten looked at Lin Yun appreciatively, “If you can help Marten-sama restore my physical body, Marten-sama will owe you a favor.”
“Favor?” Lin Yun murmured, “You’re a marten, owing a marten favor is unnecessary!”
Little Marten rolled its eyes.
However, it suddenly had an idea, “Didn’t you raise a lot of demon beasts? Marten-sama can help you train them.”
“Well, I can let you try and see how you perform. If you train them well, I’ll help you!”
Lin Yun nodded and suddenly said,
“By the way, I just raised a new purple marten, it’s female, don’t take advantage of it, I forbid teacher-student relationships here.”
“Bah, bah, bah… What kind of stupid marten do you think Marten-sama is? A country bumpkin marten, an ignorant marten, as if I would take a fancy to any kind of trash!”
Little Marten glared at Lin Yun with disdain and indignation.
The dignified Heavenly Demon Marten would take a fancy to a native marten, this was an insult to it!
… …
After the battle at Bloodcloth Gate!
The Lin family did not keep a low profile, but instead recruited troops and horses on a large scale.
At Lin Yun's instruction, the bandit leaders led by Xiong Wei also secretly joined the Lin family and became the external force of the Lin family.
Lin Yun also gave Lin Zhentian the addresses of several mineral veins that he had scouted, so that the Lin family could send people to mine them.
The demon beasts around those mineral veins had already been wiped out by Bao Zhen and the three little tigers, so the Lin family could mine with confidence.
Now, the Lin family has three Yang Yuan Stone mineral veins in their hands, not counting those iron ore mines.
After explaining the matters of the clan.
Lin Yun was preparing to go to Yan City.
If the Lin family wants to continue to expand, the next step is to enter Yan City.
He had to pave the way in advance.
Moreover, after reaching the Yuan Dan Realm, it would be difficult to improve further by staying in Qingyang Town.
There was also the task system, which needed bigger monsters to complete the tasks.
Changing to a bigger map was imperative.
