WDQK—Chapter 84: Another Breakthrough in Cultivation, the Yin Energy is About to Be Detonated!
Soon, Lin Tian flipped through Old Shen's Qiankun bag, and a bright smile illuminated his face.
"Brother Lin Tian, how is it? Did you make a profit?" Lin Dong asked, spotting the joy in Lin Tian's expression.
Lin Tian nodded slightly. "Yes, I made a profit. This old guy is much richer than Wang Yan. There are 80,000 Pure Yuan Pills in this Qiankun bag."
"In addition, there are several healing elixirs and rare metals. Together with the two soul treasures—the gray disc and the Great Luo Golden Spear—the total value exceeds 100,000 Pure Yuan Pills!"
Lin Dong's eyes lit up. "That's good! Congratulations, Brother Lin Tian!"
"It's just a small gain, nothing to mention! Let's head back," Lin Tian said with a smile.
"By the way, let's keep the details of the battle to ourselves until we grow stronger."
Lin Dong nodded seriously. "I understand, Brother Lin Tian."
The two fiery red figures—Lin Tian on Huo'er and Lin Dong on Little Flame—raced toward Yan City like arrows shot from a bow.
When Lin Tian and Lin Dong returned to the Lin family mansion in Yan City, the atmosphere was alive with excitement.
Qingtan rushed to Lin Tian, her eyes wide with concern. "Brother Lin Tian, you're back! How was it? Did you face any danger in the ancient tomb?"
Lin Tian smiled reassuringly. "It wasn't dangerous, just a bit of trouble."
Qingtan shook Lin Tian's arm eagerly. "Come on, tell me what happened!"
"Haha, okay..." Lin Tian chuckled and began recounting their adventures in the ancient tomb, though he left out some of the more perilous details.
Qingtan pouted, crossing her arms. "Exploring the ancient tomb sounds interesting! I wanted to go with you, but you didn't take me."
Lin Tian shrugged. "The tomb can be quite dangerous. Your brother Lin Dong and I had our hands full protecting ourselves."
Disappointment crossed Qingtan's face. "It's my fault for being too weak."
Lin Tian rubbed her head playfully. "Don't worry! We found the Extreme Evil Yin Dragon's Saliva, the most Yin and cold elixir in the tomb."
"Once you refine it, you can condense the Yin Dan and leap from the Earthly Yuan Stage to the Initial Yuan Dan Stage in one go!"
—
[Ding! You touched Lin Qingtan and obtained an Essence Origin Pill! Note: After taking it, you can improve your mental power and Yuan power simultaneously.]
—
Essence Origin Pill? That enhances both mental power and Yuan power. What a fantastic find!
Lin Tian felt a rush of excitement as the system reward registered in his mind.
"Really? That's amazing!" Qingtan exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with wonder.
Lin Tian smiled and nodded. "Of course it's true, but we have to wait a few days until the night when the Yin energy peaks this month to use it."
"Okay! I'll listen to Brother Lin Tian," Qingtan agreed enthusiastically.
Over the next several days, Lin Tian and Lin Dong stayed at the Lin family residence in Yan City to practice temporarily.
Lin Tian shared the Subduing Golden Platform Magic Pam martial art technique he had obtained from Wang Yan's Qiankun bag, along with the Heavenly Scale Halberd Art passed down by the master of the old tomb.
Additionally, he also shared the Supreme Purity Sky Wandering Steps he had won in the lottery with both Lin Dong and Qingtan.
However, Lin Tian decided against teaching them the Zenith Sensing Art, as it involved searching for the fetus of a plane. He wanted to assess the situation before determining whether to confide in Lin Dong.
If Lin Tian could secure the fetus of another plane, he had no intention of competing with Lin Dong for the one in this world. Conversely, if he couldn't achieve that, he would need to prioritize himself.
Someday, once he grew stronger and reached the Great Thousand World, he might assist Lin Dong in obtaining a plane's fetus.
After practicing the Zenith Sensing Art and the Supreme Purity Sky Wandering Steps, Lin Tian decided it was time to take the Essence Origin Pill to enhance both his mental power and Yuan power.
To his surprise, the Essence Origin Pill was unlike any other; it refined swiftly and absorbed seamlessly.
After taking it, the pill split into two energies, which were stored directly in his Niwan Palace and Dantian, waiting for him to absorb them at his leisure.
Lin Tian took his time. In addition to refining and absorbing the energies daily, he also occasionally accompanied Qingtan on outings to unwind.
In contrast, Lin Dong was far more diligent.
After returning from the Old Tomb, he used the Ancestral Stone on his palm to purify all the elixirs he had acquired, eagerly consuming the resulting pills to enhance his Yuanli power cultivation.
Aside from their nightly dinners together, Lin Tian hardly caught sight of Lin Dong.
Time flew by, and before they realized it, another half-month had passed.
On this day, Lin Tian finally refined the last remnants of energy from the Essence Origin Pill.
Moreover, his cultivation surged from the Initial Form Creation Stage to the Advanced Form Creation Stage!
The day following Lin Tian's breakthrough in Yuanli cultivation, his mental power also surged, enabling him to condense mental fire and become a Soul Symbol master!
Though he was still a low-level Soul Symbol master, it was a significant achievement nonetheless.
"A Soul Symbol master who has reached the Advanced Form Creation Stage—not bad!"
Feeling the advancements in his cultivation, Lin Tian couldn't help but grin. He ceased his practice, rose to his feet, and stepped out of his room.
"Huh? Lin Dong also broke through?"
As he stepped outside, Lin Tian sensed that Lin Dong's cultivation had also reached the Perfect Yuan Dan Stage, and he felt a surge of happiness for him.
In the original story, Lin Dong achieved this breakthrough in the ancient tomb. Now, Lin Tian had intercepted Ling Qingzhu, delaying Lin Dong's progress, but being only half a month late was not too significant.
The martial arts techniques Lin Tian had previously imparted to Lin Dong served as a modest form of compensation.
As for the elixirs, Lin Tian instructed Lin Dong to purify them using the Ancestral Stone, agreeing to take back at least half after purification.
An idea struck Lin Tian—the elixir he hadn't yet asked Lin Dong to purify!
He turned and headed toward Lin Dong's residence.
"Brother Lin Tian, you're here!" Lin Dong greeted him warmly the moment he saw Lin Tian approaching.
Lin Tian smiled back. "Congratulations on your continued growth in cultivation."
Lin Dong scratched his head, humility shining through. "My cultivation still lags behind Brother Lin Tian."
"Hehe, everyone has their opportunities. Perhaps your next chance will let you catch up."
Lin Tian chuckled softly and then presented a fragrant flower to Lin Dong.
"What is this?" Lin Dong asked, curiosity piqued.
"This flower is called the Breaking Realm Flower. It can help you break through the bottleneck of your current realm," Lin Tian explained.
"Breaking Realm Flower!" Lin Dong exclaimed, astonished.
"Yes, now take some time to use the Ancestral Stone to purify it into pills and see how many you can create."
Lin Tian smiled as he handed the Breaking Realm Flower to Lin Dong.
"Okay! I'll use the Stone to purify it right now," Lin Dong said, his excitement palpable.
Lin Tian smiled at his eagerness but refrained from interrupting him.
Three hours later, Lin Dong joyfully emerged, holding two crystal-clear, round pills formed from the Breaking Realm Flower.
"Perfect—one for each of us," Lin Tian said, taking one of the pills.
"Thank you, Brother Lin Tian," Lin Dong said gratefully, accepting the pill without hesitation.
Lin Tian added, "However, you can't take this pill just yet. Tonight is when Yin energy is strongest this month. We need to use it to help Qingtan condense the Yin Dan!"
"Yes, I hope everything goes smoothly," Lin Dong replied, his expression turning serious.
"It will go well!" Lin Tian declared his tone firm as his eyes narrowed slightly. "Let's go find Qingtan."
"Yes," Lin Dong agreed, and together they set off to find Qingtan.
