3: Lin Dong: I'll give you the stone talisman!

It's the cold qi acting up again!

Lin Fan's expression changed abruptly when he saw Qing Tan's appearance, and he quickly stepped forward to support her.

Instantly, waves of yin cold qi surged into Lin Fan's body, making him shiver.

Ding! You touched Lin Qingtan and obtained three yin pearls!

Lin Fan was in no mood to pay attention to the System's voice in his mind. Enduring the cold, he picked up Qing Tan and said to Lin Dong, "Come with me!"

Lin Dong also noticed Qing Tan's unusual state and anxiously said, "Qing Tan's cold qi is acting up again. I'll go call Dad."

"Lin Dong Brother, don't go," Qing Tan immediately advised when she heard this.

Lin Fan took over the conversation and said to Lin Dong, "It's rare for Third Uncle to be happy. If you go find him, you'll only make him anxious and upset, to no avail. Alright, follow along!"

Lin Fan knew very well that Qing Tan was experiencing this condition because she had a Fiendish Demonic Body. Finding Lin Xiao would be completely useless.

After speaking to Lin Dong, Lin Fan carried Qing Tan and strode towards Qing Tan's room.

Lin Dong, realizing the situation after hearing Lin Fan's words, quickly followed behind them.

Seeing this, Qing Tan immediately put aside her worries and leaned obediently against Lin Fan's chest.

"Hiss, this cold qi is really not something an ordinary person can endure!"

After rushing into the room and placing Qing Tan on the bed, Lin Fan rubbed his stiff arms and chest while gasping for air.

Qing Tan said apologetically, "Lin Fan Brother, I'm sorry. You... you two should go back first. I can endure it."

Qing Tan wrapped her small body in the quilt, her voice very weak, and her body trembling non-stop.

"Damn it, what exactly is going on with this cold qi?" Lin Dong was also as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin Dong and said, "Lin Dong, I have a method that might quickly calm the cold qi in Qing Tan's body. Are you willing to try it?"

Lin Dong nodded without hesitation, "Lin Fan Brother, how do I do it? Just tell me directly."

Lin Fan said, "That day, when Qing Tan and I went to the cave to find you, we happened to see you put away a Stone Talisman. That Stone Talisman can absorb the yin cold qi erupting from Qing Tan's body."

Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Qing Tan had grown up together since childhood, as close as siblings!

Moreover, Lin Fan was older and often stood up for Lin Dong and Qing Tan, so there were basically no secrets among the three of them.

Lin Fan already knew about the cave where Lin Dong obtained the ancestral stone even before he Awakened his past life memories.

On the day Lin Dong obtained the ancestral stone, Lin Fan did indeed go to find him with Qing Tan, but he didn't see the Stone Talisman at the time. This was just a casually fabricated excuse.

After Lin Fan's two lifetimes of memories Fused, he knew that Lin Dong had already obtained the ancestral stone based on the plot development.

Lin Fan only felt a slight regret about this and didn't have many other thoughts, nor would he covet the ancestral stone. He wouldn't be such an ungrateful person!

However, if he could share some of the benefits brought by the ancestral stone, Lin Fan naturally wouldn't refuse.

Furthermore, Lin Fan also planned to subtly guide Lin Dong to discover some of the ancestral stone's functions in advance.

As for the excuse, Lin Fan had already thought of it.

When Lin Dong heard Lin Fan's words, his expression tightened. He hadn't expected that Lin Fan had actually seen his actions that day. "Lin Fan Brother, I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Lin Dong was just a fourteen-year-old child, simple and kind. He subconsciously kept the secret of the Stone Talisman only for safety reasons.

Now that Lin Fan had exposed him, Lin Dong felt a sense of shame like being caught red-handed for eating alone.

Lin Fan said solemnly, "Don't overthink it. Your approach is correct. That Stone Talisman is of great importance; the fewer people who know about it, the better! Once it's leaked, our Lin family might be annihilated overnight!"

"Let's not talk about this for now. You should first help Qing Tan resolve that yin cold qi."

"Okay," Lin Dong, seeing Lin Fan approve of his actions, felt his guilt lessen slightly and was also very moved. "Lin Fan Brother, what should I do?"

Lin Fan said, "Place that Stone Talisman on Qing Tan's shoulder, then place your palm on it as well. Remember to cover the Stone Talisman with your palm."

"Alright," Lin Dong agreed, immediately took out the Stone Talisman from his chest, and followed Lin Fan's instructions.

Before long, the cold qi in Qing Tan's body spread throughout Lin Dong's entire body through his palm.

Lin Dong's body couldn't help but tremble, white frost appeared on his eyebrows, and his teeth chattered uncontrollably. "Lin... Fan Brother, ho... how... is it not working?"

Lin Fan also frowned slightly upon hearing this and could only say, "Wait a moment and see."

"It's working!"

Suddenly, Lin Dong exclaimed.

Because he felt a strange suction force suddenly emanating from his palm.

The yin cold qi that had been wildly raging in his body just moments ago was completely sucked away by this force in an instant!

In a flash, the cold qi on both Qing Tan and Lin Dong disappeared, and their bodies returned to normal.

"This Stone Talisman really absorbed the yin cold qi?"

Lin Dong blinked, his expression a mix of surprise and joy.

Qing Tan was also overjoyed, "That's great, the cold qi really receded! Thank you Lin Fan Brother, thank you Lin Dong Brother!"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I didn't help much; it's mainly Lin Dong's credit."

"Also, Qing Tan, you must remember that what happened today, besides the three of us, no one else can be told, especially about the Stone Talisman!"

Qing Tan nodded obediently, "Mhm, I understand."

Lin Fan nodded slightly, then said to Lin Dong, "Lin Dong, now look at the Stone Talisman's groove. Is there anything in it?"

"Okay," Lin Dong agreed and held the Stone Talisman in his hand to examine it carefully.

Soon, he discovered three milky-white crystals the size of beans in the central groove of the Stone Talisman!

"There really is something! This... could it be the yin cold qi from Qing Tan's body condensed?"

Lin Dong was immediately surprised when he saw the milky-white crystals.

"That's right. The effect of this thing should be similar to Yin Sha Qi, suitable for Earthly Yuan Realm Cultivation. Use a porcelain bottle to collect it."

Lin Fan nodded and smiled.

Lin Dong did as he was told. After hesitating for a while, he looked at Lin Fan and asked, "Lin Fan Brother, why do you seem to know so much about this Stone Talisman?"

"It does feel very familiar," Lin Fan nodded slightly, then continued, "It's somewhat unbelievable, but this afternoon, I suddenly had a splitting headache. After the headache, some memories appeared in my mind, as if it was a lifetime I had experienced."

"In that dream-like life, I obtained an identical Stone Talisman. It had many wondrous uses, such as absorbing special energy, purifying medicinal ingredients, perfecting Cultivation Techniques, and so on."

"With the help of the Stone Talisman, my strength improved rapidly. I left the Great Yan Dynasty and went to a broader world. I accidentally learned that the Stone Talisman was actually the second-ranked divine artifact of heaven and earth on the Tianxuan Continent!"

"At that time, my strength was already very powerful, capable of easily destroying the Great Yan Dynasty, but because I exposed the Stone Talisman, I was hunted by countless people, and the Lin family was also annihilated as a result."

"In the end, I still couldn't escape death, but before I died, I learned from the mysterious person who killed me that the Stone Talisman was actually just a replica."

Qing Tan and Lin Dong were both utterly shocked listening to Lin Fan's fabricated story.

Hearing that Lin Fan was eventually killed, both of them couldn't help but exclaim "Ah!"

Qing Tan clenched her fists and said indignantly, "Those people are too hateful! Not only did they steal your treasure, Lin Fan Brother, but they also killed you and the people of the Lin family. They truly deserve to die!"

Lin Dong's small face changed erratically for a while. After a long pause, he looked at the Stone Talisman in his hand and said in a deep voice, "Lin Fan Brother, this should be your Stone Talisman. I'll return it to you."

P.S.: This book will not steal Lin Dong's Opportunity, but it will intercept the original heroines and popular female supporting characters. As for Lin Dong, he can just focus on his career, hehe~
