221: Chapter 221 Ninth Rank

Lin Yun planned to share a drop of martial dao golden core liquid with Wen Yan.

Although Wen Yan's cultivation had been steadily improving and she was nearing the Perfection of the Late Stage of the Third Rank, her Martial Dao Golden Core was still at the First Grade.

Looking at the glittering golden liquid before her, Wen Yan asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"Good stuff. After using it, you can directly increase the grade of your Golden Core."

Wen Yan was stunned for a moment; she had never heard of such a treasure.

But thinking of Lin Yun's mysterious Revered Master...

She immediately smiled and accepted the martial dao golden core liquid, not standing on ceremony at all.

She knew that Lin Yun had always been generous with them.

Furthermore, she really needed to improve the grade of her Martial Dao Golden Core.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

Wen Yan took the martial dao golden core liquid.

Pure energy instantly erupted within her body, following the trajectory of her Cultivation Technique and quickly merging into her Martial Dao Golden Core.

Only an hour passed.

The aura within Wen Yan's body became increasingly thick.

Her Martial Dao Golden Core also successfully advanced from the First Grade to the Second Grade.

"It really works. Thank you, husband."

Wen Yan leaned into Lin Yun's arms, her tone filled with a hint of emotion.

Lin Yun lowered his head and kissed her lips gently, "Why stand on ceremony with me? We are family. If you become stronger, I can rest easier."

New Year's Eve.

Lin Family Manor was decorated with lanterns and streamers, brimming with a festive atmosphere everywhere.

In the main hall, a long banquet was set out.

Lin Yun sat in the main seat, surrounded by his ten stunning wives.

Su Yingxue, Shen Youqing, Wu Qingya, Lin Qianxi, Zhao Qingyue, Chen Yuwei, Qiao Shiyu, Bai Lulu, Qiao Feifei, and Wen Yan.

Ten figures, ten different charms.

Further down were twenty-one children.

The older ones were already running and jumping, while the little ones were still fast asleep in their swaddles.

Including the maids, there were nearly two hundred people in the entire manor.

Lin Yun raised his wine glass and looked around.

"Everyone has worked hard this year."

Su Yingxue smiled and raised her glass, "Husband has worked the hardest."

The women echoed her sentiments one after another, and laughter filled the room.

Outside the window, fireworks bloomed.

A new year had begun.

After the New Year, Lin Yun took his wives back to his hometown, Jiangcheng.

The first stop was the Lin family ancestral grave.

Lin Yun stood before the tombstones of his grandfather and parents and bowed deeply.

"Grandfather, Dad, Mom, I've brought my wives to see you."

Behind him, the ten stunning women bowed in unison.

"Hello Grandfather, Hello Dad, Hello Mom."

Lin Yun looked at the tombstones and thought silently to himself: Grandson is living very well now, I have married ten wives and had twenty-one children. Our Lin family has branched out and spread its leaves; it will only get better in the future.

After paying his respects, he took his wives to visit house by house.

Su Yingxue's home, Shen Youqing's home, Wu Qingya's home, Lin Qianxi's home, Zhao Qingyue's home, Chen Yuwei's home...

Every family entertained them warmly, and every family praised him endlessly.

After returning to Tianshui City, they went to visit the Qiao Family and the Bai family.

The head of the Qiao Family held his hand, calling him "good son-in-law" repeatedly, showing immense enthusiasm.

Bai Zhanyun even dragged him to drink three bottles of wine before letting him go.

After finishing his visits to relatives, Lin Yun could finally Cultivate in peace.

In the cultivation room.

Lin Yun operated the three Cultivation Techniques: Star Core Energy Swallowing Technique, Nine-Grade Golden Core Art, and Ten-Perfect Dao Pill.

A massive amount of Universe energy and resource essence surged into his body.

The Fifth-Grade Void Core within his Dantian instantly shone with dazzling golden light, beginning to rapidly condense and grow stronger.

His Soul consciousness was powerful, allowing him to precisely control every wisp of energy in his body. Combined with the boost from his mystic grade mid-tier talent, the cultivation process was exceptionally smooth.

In just a few short days, the aura within Lin Yun's body experienced an explosion.

Lin Yun sat cross-legged, his aura condensed like an abyss.

The Fifth-Grade Void Core completely transformed, becoming a more rounded and brilliant Sixth-Grade Void Core.

Of the 300 billion in cultivation resources, very little remained.

After breaking through to the Sixth-Grade False Core, Lin Yun's heart stirred.

A Sixth-Grade Golden Core can convert Soul consciousness into Divine Thought, but what about a Sixth-Grade Void Core?

He tried to mobilize his Soul consciousness, wanting to convert it into Divine Thought.

But no matter how hard he tried, his Soul consciousness remained just Soul consciousness; it could not be converted into the kind of Divine Thought that could be projected outward and used for exploration.

"It seems that only by condensing a true Martial Dao Golden Core can one convert Soul consciousness into Divine Thought; even reaching the Sixth Grade in the False Core realm is not enough."

Lin Yun felt some regret, but he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Since the False Core realm cannot convert Divine Thought, then he would continue to improve the grade of his Void Core.

Once he Breakthrough to the Martial Dao Golden Core realm, he will naturally be able to possess Divine Thought.

Lin Yun pondered for a moment and took out the martial dao golden core liquid rewarded by the System from his Space Ring.

He calmed his breath and focused his mind.

Then he swallowed it in one gulp.

The warm energy surged into his Dantian, wrapping around the Void Core.

The Void Core trembled slightly, and then... the light flared brilliantly!

Seventh Grade!

Lin Yun felt a surge of joy.

Continue.

The second drop went down.

Eighth Grade!

The third drop.

Ninth Grade!

In his Dantian, that Void Core had condensed to the extreme, emitting a dazzling golden light.

Ninth-Grade Void Core.

The pinnacle for the world.

After breaking through, it would be a Ninth-Grade Golden Core.

There aren't many Ninth-Grade Golden Cores in the entire Empire.

A Ninth-Grade Void Core is even rarer.

Lin Yun felt the surging power within his body, his heart filled with emotion.

It only took three drops of martial dao golden core liquid to go from Sixth Grade to Ninth Grade.

But from the First Rank to the Sixth Grade, he had spent 700 billion. Adding the resources rewarded by the System, it was even more.

And that was only the Sixth Grade. If he had relied on his own cultivation, the future would only be more expensive. If not for the System rewards, it would have been very difficult for him to reach this point.

He thought of Zhao Muyi. That proud daughter of heaven who cooked for him for a month for the nine-consecutive-championship reward. He remembered what Qu Yanran had said... even the geniuses of the royal family worry about cultivation resources.

Lin Yun suddenly felt a sense of emotion. Resources, really... the rich can ascend to the heavens in one step. The poor can hardly move a step.

He shook his head, thinking no more of it.

The Ninth-Grade Void Core was just the beginning. His goal was the legendary... Ten-Perfect Dao Pill.

Lin Yun took out a fourth drop of martial dao golden core liquid.

He swallowed it. At the same time, the Ten-Perfect Dao Pill began to operate.

Golden energy surged into the Ninth-Grade Void Core.

The Void Core trembled slightly, and then... it became a thread thicker. And that was it.

Lin Yun opened his eyes and frowned slightly.

One drop, and it only became a thread thicker?

He was silent for a moment, then took out another drop.

Swallowed it. Operated the Ten-Perfect Dao Pill again. The Void Core became another thread thicker. And that was it.

Two drops, only two threads thicker. It was still far from "Ten-Perfect Perfection."

Lin Yun opened his eyes, and after a long while, let out a breath, "As expected..."

He had guessed as much. If the Ten-Perfect Dao Pill were really that easy, it wouldn't be called "Ten-Perfect Perfection." He just hadn't wanted to think about it before. Now that the reality was before him, he accepted it quickly.

Lin Yun stood up and walked out of the cultivation room.

The Ninth-Grade Void Core was enough.

Next, go home and make babies.

If nothing else, he could just Breakthrough a few years later. Anyway, as long as he gave birth to mystic grade descendants, he would have martial dao golden core liquid.

His talent was now mystic grade mid-tier, so his future children would be at least mystic grade mid-tier. One drop of Golden Core liquid could equal countless resources. Just have a few more, and it would be enough.

Right now, only Wen Yan didn't have a baby in her belly. He had to hurry.

In the Revered Master bedroom, the ten wives were chatting. Seeing Lin Yun enter, Su Yingxue smiled and came up to meet him, "Husband, is your cultivation finished?"

Lin Yun nodded, his gaze falling on Wen Yan. Wen Yan felt a bit uncomfortable being looked at by him, "What are you looking at?"

Lin Yun walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist, "Sister Wen Yan, it's time for us to work hard."

Wen Yan was stunned, then immediately realized what he meant, her face turning red, "You..."

The others were already laughing in a group. Su Yingxue teased, "Sister Wen Yan, good luck~"

Qiao Shiyu raised her hand, "I support husband! Go Sister Wen Yan!"

Bai Lulu started to get excited, "That's right, Sister Wen Yan, we are all waiting."

Wen Yan was blushing furiously from their teasing and glared fiercely at Lin Yun. But in her heart, she felt very sweet.

That night, the lights in the Revered Master bedroom stayed on until late into the night.
