550: Uncle Lin? Amazing physique! (56k)

"He Linchuan, come here."

Seeing He Linchuan stunned in place, Lin Yang waved at him again, calling him forward.

"M... My Lord!"

He Linchuan finally snapped out of it, hurried over to Lin Yang, and bowed respectfully: "Greetings, My Lord!"

"What a coincidence, He Linchuan. I've been in seclusion for twenty years, and the moment I came out today, I ran into you again."

Lin Yang waved his hand to indicate he didn't need to be so formal, sighing with emotion at the same time.

When he first arrived at Yun Que City twenty years ago, the one he met was He Linchuan, and today, upon his first time leaving seclusion, he met him again.

It really was a coincidence.

He Linchuan nodded repeatedly and replied: "Being able to meet you again is this junior's good fortune!"

Lin Yang couldn't help but chuckle; this kid really knew how to talk. He then pointed to the wounds on his body and asked: "What happened here? Did you encounter a fierce beast in the wilderness?"

The wounds on He Linchuan's body didn't look like normal injuries; they looked like they had been gnawed on by a fierce beast.

"This... just some minor injuries, I've embarrassed myself in front of you, My Lord." He Linchuan seemed a bit embarrassed and tightened his robe slightly.

"Your whole body is almost gnawed all over, and you call that a minor injury?"

Lin Yang shook his head and sighed. Then, amid He Linchuan's surprise and Yue Duanjiang's astonished gaze, he grabbed He Linchuan's shoulder, quietly injecting streams of spiritual power mixed with some life force into He Linchuan's body.

"My Lord..."

He Linchuan was startled at first, but then he felt streams of warmth flowing through his body, and the wounds on his body began to heal slowly at a visible rate.

"This is..."

He Linchuan was shocked again, then realized that Lin Yang was healing him. He immediately bowed deeply and said gratefully:

"Thank you, My Lord, for healing this junior! This junior will never forget your kindness!"

"It was just a small favor, no need to be so polite."

Lin Yang withdrew his hand and smiled:

"You kid, you probably couldn't bear to buy medicine. Looking at these wounds, you must have been injured for a while. Although these wounds aren't fatal, there are too many of them, and they cover too large an area. If you drag it on for too long, it's easy for problems to arise. You're lucky today to have run into me again."

"My Lord, this junior... this junior thanks you, My Lord... thank you, My Lord..." He Linchuan's heart suddenly warmed, feeling very moved and grateful. He wanted to say something, but in the end, it just turned into endless words of thanks.

"I already said it was a small favor, relax." Lin Yang added.

He also sighed inwardly; to be able to return after suffering such serious injuries, this kid's luck was indeed good. It looked like he had barely escaped from the jaws of a fierce beast.

"Yes, yes." Although He Linchuan nodded in agreement, he remained respectful.

For Lin Yang, treating him was a small favor, but for him, it was a great kindness.

Because Lin Yang was right; his injuries indeed needed treatment, but the cost was too high, and he had never been willing to spend the money.

"Did you go to the Star Divination Tower to retrieve supplies?"

Lin Yang asked casually, and seeing the large bag of loose moon viewing sand in He Linchuan's hand, he added:

"Why did you buy so much moon viewing sand?"

He recognized this material; it was a very basic item. The price wasn't expensive, but such a large bag would still cost quite a bit.

And this thing shouldn't be of any use to He Linchuan. The money he spent on this moon viewing sand could have easily bought him some cultivation resources.

"This... replying to My Lord, this is for my younger sister." He Linchuan subconsciously gripped the bag tighter and answered respectfully.

"For your younger sister? What kind of illness does she have? Why does she need moon viewing sand?" Lin Yang asked, puzzled.

moon viewing sand, although it has some medicinal value, is more commonly used for artifact refining.

To be precise, moon viewing sand is a material for artifact refining, and a basic one at that, only possessing a tiny bit of medicinal value.

This item cannot and does not possess the main therapeutic properties or effects for treating any illness; it can only be used as an auxiliary, and a few grams would suffice.

But the large bag He Linchuan bought must have been over a hundred kilograms.

This made Lin Yang a bit puzzled.

Is he eating it like candy?

"Replying to My Lord, my younger sister's illness... is a rare condition. She cannot see sunlight, but she also cannot be completely isolated from all light, otherwise her body won't be able to handle it. moon viewing sand can suppress the pain and side effects caused by occasionally being exposed to light, so... that's why this junior bought so much."

He Linchuan answered truthfully.

Lin Yang raised an eyebrow.

He knew that He Linchuan's younger sister was ill, but he didn't know what kind of illness it was before. Now, hearing He Linchuan say this, he was a bit surprised:

"Such a strange illness? Can it only be suppressed with moon viewing sand? Are there no other ways to treat it?"

"This..." He Linchuan hesitated for a moment, then replied: "There are ways, but... this junior cannot afford such masters. When my father and mother were still alive, they had someone look at my sister, and they said that I'm afraid only masters at the Guiyuan Realm could treat it..."

"Oh... I understand." Lin Yang furrowed his brow.

The Guiyuan Realm—that is the existence of a ruler of a nation.

Let alone the current He Linchuan, who cannot afford it, even if the entire He Family exhausted its strength, they still couldn't afford it.

Or rather, this isn't a question of whether one can afford it, but that one simply cannot hire them.

The gap in status and position is too great.

After a pause, Lin Yang glanced at Yue Duanjiang, who was waiting to the side, and said to He Linchuan:

"I have some things to do now. Tonight, bring your sister to my place. I'll see if I can treat her. She can be exposed to a little light at night, right?"

Hearing this, He Linchuan was stunned, then gently gritted his teeth. He wanted to say that his younger sister's illness could only be treated by a Guiyuan Realm existence, but he couldn't refuse Lin Yang's kindness, so he immediately said:

"Then this junior will thank you on behalf of my younger sister, My Lord. My sister can occasionally come out at night for a while. Then, at midnight, I will bring my sister to pay you a visit!"

Although Lin Yang might just be curious about his sister's illness, he would treat it as taking his sister out for some activity, and paying a visit to Lin Yang while he was at it.

"Good, you know where I live, right?" Lin Yang nodded and said.

"This junior knows." He Linchuan replied.

Lin Yang nodded again, didn't say anything more, and left with Yue Duanjiang.

"Um... Your Excellency, you seem to appreciate that kid from the He Family?"

Having walked only a few steps, Yue Duanjiang couldn't help but speak up.

"Yes." Lin Yang did not deny it.

"This..."

Yue Duanjiang was slightly stunned, then said:

"Your Excellency, you are new to Yun Que City, so you probably don't know, but the He Family is not to be trifled with. By helping that kid so much, I fear you might displease the He Family."

He now naturally knew that Lin Yang was the person who had come to Yun Que City twenty years ago and moved directly into the high-end residential area, so he immediately issued a warning.

Lin Yang smiled: "Thanks for the reminder."

"Sigh..."

Seeing Lin Yang like this, Yue Duanjiang knew that Lin Yang had not taken his warning to heart, so he didn't say anything else, only saying:

"Many people in the city are very curious about you, Your Excellency, but I didn't expect to be the first to run into you. It seems I am destined to have a connection with you."

"..." Lin Yang was silent for a moment; this sounded a bit strange.

A burly man saying he had a destined connection with him...

"Ahem, those in the city who are curious about me should mostly be people from the underground forces, right?" Lin Yang coughed lightly.

"Haha, that's right. A newcomer who can afford to live in the high-end residential area—to put it bluntly, in the eyes of those underground forces, you are a piece of fat meat. They all want to rob you fiercely. It's just a pity that you haven't left the city for these twenty years, so they haven't found an opportunity."

Yue Duanjiang laughed loudly, then lowered his voice slightly and said:

"Your Excellency, if you really are a newcomer, being robbed is unavoidable. When that time comes, you just need to do as they say and obediently hand over a sum of money; they won't lay a hand on you. Just treat it as paying for peace. Otherwise, losing money is a small matter; you might get tortured, or even lose your life."

He could sense that Lin Yang was in the Boundary Realm, which was a bit different from the rumors of the Breaking Universe Realm at the time.

However, to those underground forces, there was no difference between an ordinary Boundary Realm expert and a Patriarch.

So he still gave a special reminder.

"Understood, I will be careful. Thank you." Lin Yang nodded slightly.

"Haha, you're welcome." Yue Duanjiang loved to laugh.

During their chat, the two of them walked to Yue Duanjiang's residence.

"Your Excellency, is this... where a family resides?"

When he saw Yue Duanjiang's residence, Lin Yang was taken aback.

This was a very large mansion, not the kind of small house in the residential area.

"Hahaha, it can't be called a family. It's just me bringing some juniors to make a living in the city. There are only about twenty or thirty of us in total, which is still far from being a family."

Yue Duanjiang explained with a smile.

"Impressive!" Lin Yang praised sincerely.

Being able to afford to support dozens of people living in the city, although not comparable to a major family, it showed that Yue Duanjiang was quite capable.

Lin Yang also understood why Yue Duanjiang hadn't blinked an eye when paying earlier.

That amount of money really didn't mean much to Yue Duanjiang.

However, the amount of money wasn't the point.

The point was Yue Duanjiang's intention.

"Your Excellency, please!"

Yue Duanjiang made a gesture of invitation and stepped into the mansion.

Immediately, a beautiful woman and several young people came out to greet them.

"Brother Yue, who is this gentleman?" The beautiful woman asked softly.

"Father (Uncle)!"

The other young people also paid their respects one after another.

From their expressions, it could be seen that they all respected Yue Duanjiang very much.

Yue Duanjiang was clearly a very good elder.

"Haha, my lady, this is my newly made friend, Your Excellency Lin Yang. Go and prepare some good wine and food. I have some matters to consult with His Excellency, and then I will properly entertain Your Excellency Lin Yang."

Yue Duanjiang smiled and introduced them to each other, then said to the children: "In the future, when you see Your Excellency Lin Yang, treat him with the respect due to an elder!"

"Yes, Father."

The young children all replied respectfully, while curiously sizing up Lin Yang, and bowed: "Greetings, Uncle Lin."

"..." Lin Yang was momentarily stunned. Uncle... Uncle??

He looked at these guys, feeling that they were all older than him...

"Ahem, you... don't need to address me like that. Just call me Your Excellency," Lin Yang said quickly after snapping out of it.

This Yue Duanjiang was way too overly familiar... It was the first time anyone had called him "Uncle"...

The group was momentarily stunned, seeming unsure of how to respond.

Yue Duanjiang waved his hand and said: "You all go away first, and do not approach the Villa's backyard!"

With that, he led Lin Yang to the backyard of the residence.

The children watched them go.

In the backyard, there was an independent space specifically used for testing power.

"As expected of a place better than the residential area, there's even a specially opened independent space." Lin Yang gained some insight.

However, he didn't have any thoughts of changing his residence.

Throughout all of Yun Que City, the maximum level of spiritual energy was only ten times the base. These residences were just more refined in other aspects, with larger spaces.

He didn't need that for now on his own. The small courtyard in the high-end residential area was enough.

Of course, it was mainly because the price of a residence was more expensive, suitable only for large family factions with many people.

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, please rest assured. This is an independent space. When you and I spar, no one else will ever know the situation of our sparring. There is no need to worry about exposing anything. Of course, if you are uneasy, you don't need to reveal too much; just sparring a few spear techniques will suffice," Yue Duanjiang explained proactively.

It was clear he was afraid that Lin Yang might misunderstand or overthink things.

"Alright." Lin Yang nodded and, without standing on ceremony, immediately took out his long spear and thrust it forward.

In an instant, a mysterious power surged.

"Having a weapon really is different. The power of this strike is far stronger than a manifested weapon!"

Lin Yang's eyes lit up. He felt that with the amplification of a physical weapon, the power of his spear strike could be increased by nearly forty percent.

This exceeded the normal thirty percent bonus of ordinary weapons.

"If an ordinary weapon can provide such a large bonus, I wonder what level it could reach if it were even better." Lin Yang felt it for a moment and began to crave a better weapon.

Yue Duanjiang's eyes also lit up: "Good spear technique!"

He also took the opportunity to summon his own life-bound long spear and met the strike.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

In an instant, the two exchanged over a dozen moves.

The more they fought, the happier Yue Duanjiang became: "Your Excellency Lin Yang, your power is very strong. You seem to be at the first level of the Boundary Realm, yet you can match me blow for blow. Especially this spear technique; it has a mysterious trajectory that has given me great insight!"

"That is because you deliberately suppressed your power, Your Excellency. If I am not mistaken, you are at the third level of the Boundary Realm," Lin Yang also said with a smile.

Yue Duanjiang's power level was at the third level of the Boundary Realm, and he was currently suppressing his power to spar with him.

Clearly, Yue Duanjiang was unsure of his strength and was afraid that he might hurt him if he didn't suppress it.

Furthermore, although Yue Duanjiang's spear technique was not as mysterious as that one strike from the Silver Armor Heroic Soul Warrior, it still gave Lin Yang many new insights. Thus, he was also quite happy.

Yue Duanjiang laughed loudly again: "Hahaha, I am indeed at the third level, but only an average third level. Although I suppressed my power, I can still tell that your power, Your Excellency Lin Yang, is extraordinary."

He wanted to tell Lin Yang to unleash his power, but he felt too embarrassed to bring it up.

After all, his original intention was just to spar with Lin Yang on spear techniques. If he asked Lin Yang to unleash his power, it would cast suspicion on him for trying to pry into Lin Yang's bottom line.

Lin Yang also had no intention of fully unleashing his power.

Sparring a few moves with Yue Duanjiang could be considered repaying the favor of gifting the spear. There was no need to expose anything more.

Mainly, through this brief sparring, he had already sensed that if he didn't use the power of the "Realm," even with the amplification of a physical weapon, he would still have some gap compared to the power of a third-level expert.

And if he were to use the power of the "Realm," Yue Duanjiang would likely be unable to withstand it. Therefore, there was no need to go all out.

A few minutes later.

Yue Duanjiang stopped first. His already flushed face turned even redder, and he said excitedly: "Your Excellency Lin Yang, let's stop here for now. Thank you for your guidance. Your spear technique is too profound; I have gained a lot. I am truly, truly grateful!"

He had gained too much today.

He had a premonition that if he went into seclusion to digest what he had learned today for a period of time, he would be able to improve by a large margin.

Trading 16 million for the realization of such a profound spear technique made Yue Duanjiang very grateful for Lin Yang's unreserved guidance.

Because he could see that the level of profundity in Lin Yang's spear technique was extremely high! This was definitely an extremely formidable spear technique legacy!

Lin Yang could have completely just sparred with him casually, but he didn't; instead, he earnestly demonstrated this formidable legacy-level spear technique. He had made a huge profit this time!

"This level of spear technique cannot be bought with money! Your Excellency Lin Yang, I am truly... so grateful to you!!" Yue Duanjiang was very excited, rubbing his hands repeatedly.

"You are too polite, Your Excellency. Since you feel you have gained something, let's end it here for today," Lin Yang smiled.

His spear technique was inherited from the Silver Armor Heroic Soul Warrior, and he had gained some insights of his own. To say it was precious, it was indeed precious. But Yue Duanjiang was also worth him earnestly demonstrating some of it.

Before in the Star Divination Tower, Yue Duanjiang's words were correct: those who use spears are rarely petty people.

Through the sparring, he could even more clearly feel a sense of uprightness about Yue Duanjiang. Therefore, he did not deliberately hide anything.

There are indeed few people who use spears, and fewer experts among them. Being able to let the spear technique find a suitable expert to inherit it is also very rare.

"Hahaha, come, come, let's go drink and eat meat!" Although Yue Duanjiang wanted to go into seclusion immediately, he still had to entertain Lin Yang well.

"Your Excellency Lin Yang, I am a few years older than you. If you don't mind, you can just call me Brother Yue. I've decided to make you my friend!" Yue Duanjiang said earnestly while walking:

"You were willing to come to my place, not fearing that I would take the opportunity to plot against you; that shows you trust me, Yue!"

"Your spear technique is so high-level and profound, yet you did not hide your skills and earnestly demonstrated and imparted it; I have decided you are my friend!!"

"Although my strength in the city is average, if you, Brother Lin Yang, ever need anything in the future, just give me a shout, and I will go through fire and water for you!"

Lin Yang smiled helplessly: "Then I will be bold and call you Brother Yue."

He didn't say much more, nor did he refuse. After all, Yue Duanjiang was a solid third-level Boundary Realm expert, and not knowing his true strength, was still willing to call a newly advanced first-level Boundary Realm expert like him "brother."

This was enough to show Yue Duanjiang's character; he was worth befriending.

"Hahaha, good, good, good! Brother Lin Yang, today we will drink until we are drunk. Your sister-in-law's cooking skills are no worse than a master chef's; you must eat and drink well today!" Yue Duanjiang was very happy and kept pulling Lin Yang to the front hall.

The wine and dishes were ready. They were full of color, aroma, and taste. Yue Duanjiang hadn't boasted. His wife's cooking was indeed very good. Just smelling the aroma made Lin Yang's appetite open up. Following that, he didn't stand on ceremony and ate and drank to his heart's content.

Seeing that he didn't stand on ceremony at all, the couple Yue Duanjiang were both full of joy.

Until the moon was in the middle of the sky.

"Brother Yue, I must head back now. Thank you, Brother Yue and sister-in-law, for your warm hospitality today. Another day, I will return the favor!" Lin Yang stood up and clasped his hands at the couple Yue Duanjiang.

"Brother Lin Yang, you are too polite. Remember to visit often!" The couple Yue Duanjiang both stood up to see him off.

With their level of strength, even if they drank a lot of wine, they could sober up at any time.

"Definitely!" Lin Yang replied, left the Yue Family, and quickly hurried back. He still had to treat He Linchuan's sister.

When he returned to the Villa, he happened to see He Linchuan carrying a thin, small figure shrouded in a black robe to the door of his Villa.

"My Lord!" He Linchuan hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"It seems I returned just in time. That is your sister, right? Come in and we'll talk." Lin Yang waved his hand and let the siblings He Linchuan enter.

Until they entered the room, He Linchuan gently put down He Linxue and lifted a corner of the robe, revealing a pale little face.

"Little sister, this is the kind Lord I told you about. Hurry and greet the Lord!" He Linchuan said softly.

"Linxue... pays her respects to the Lord... please forgive Linxue for the crime of being unable to bow..." He Linxue lowered her head slightly as a greeting.

"You're in this state, why talk about etiquette... don't be reserved!" Seeing this, Lin Yang emphasized, and then began to examine He Linxue's body.

This strange ailment was the first time he had ever seen it.

Suddenly. The system, which had not spoken since entering the Realm Ruins, suddenly spoke up: "Host, it seems you have encountered an extraordinary matter."

"Hmm? What?" Lin Yang was startled.

"Host, this little girl has an extraordinary constitution!" The system spoke again.

The words shocked Lin Yang: "You mean He Linxue? Her constitution is extraordinary?" "Are you sure?"

He Linxue's body was so weak that it seemed she could pass away at any moment. It was the worst he had ever seen. None other! Yet the system said her constitution was extraordinary? Was it joking?
