31: Mental power surges, attacked!

"Ding! You touched Lin Dong and received a Medicinal Pill of Spirit Enhancement! Note: Consuming this pill can significantly boost Mental Energy!"

Good stuff!

Hearing the System's reward, Lin Fan couldn't help but be delighted.

However, now was clearly not the right time to take out and consume the Medicinal Pill.

Lin Fan chatted with Lin Dong for a few more moments, then directly took the Sui Yuan Xuan Steel and went out to find the best forging workshop in Qingyang Town, where the entire block of Sui Yuan Xuan Steel was forged into seven hundred and thirty hair-thin needles!

After returning to Tiemu Village, Lin Fan gave half of the Shattering Yuan Needles to Lin Dong, then returned to his room, sat down cross-legged, and took out the Medicinal Pill of Spirit Enhancement from the System Space, putting it into his mouth.

Lin Fan always firmly believed that good things only had value when converted into his own strength!

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his mouth.

In an instant, Lin Fan felt a massive surge of special energy suddenly pour into his body, then rapidly rush into his mind.

The Mental Energy in Lin Fan's mind was autonomously undergoing Fusion with that special energy, but the efficiency was clearly a bit slow.

The excess special energy filled his mind, and Lin Fan's head immediately throbbed with a bloating and pain.

Lin Fan dared not be negligent and immediately recited the Shen Dong Chapter incantation, using a unique Mental Energy Cultivation method to refine the special energy that had rushed into his mind.

When Lin Fan Cultivated his Mental Energy according to the Shen Dong Chapter's incantation, that massive special energy was immediately refined by him and merged into his Mental Energy.

Under the effect of that massive special energy, the Mental Energy in Lin Fan's mind surged wildly.

Lin Fan had originally Cultivated the Shen Dong Chapter to the second layer, and now, under the impact of the surging Mental Energy, he quickly completed the Cultivation of the third layer as well.

Lin Fan focused intently on operating the Shen Dong Chapter, and the surging Mental Energy in his mind was also effectively controlled, so the throbbing sensation disappeared.

Suddenly, Lin Fan seemed to hear a "pop" sound in his mind, as if something deep within his mind had been broken.

Immediately after, the surging Mental Energy began to rush rapidly towards the center of his mind!

"Niwan Palace opening!"

Noticing this, Lin Fan's heart immediately filled with joy.

Lin Fan had long since memorized the contents of the Shen Dong Chapter.

According to its records, the most important step in Cultivating Mental Energy was to open the Niwan Palace in one's mind!

It is said that the head has Nine Palaces, corresponding to the Nine Heavens above, and the central palace is precisely the Niwan Palace!

This is the greenhouse for nurturing Mental Energy, just as the Dantian stores Yuan Qi.

When the surging Mental Energy poured into the Niwan Palace, Lin Fan not only lost the throbbing sensation in his head but also felt refreshed and clear-headed.

After an unknown period, the massive energy brought by the Medicinal Pill of Spirit Enhancement was finally completely refined by Lin Fan, all of it transformed into his Mental Energy and poured into the Niwan Palace.

Lin Fan then slowly withdrew his power and opened his tightly closed eyes.

As his eyes opened, an uncontrolled whistle actually escaped Lin Fan's mouth!

At the same time, a powerful Mental Energy fluctuation also surged out from the Niwan Palace!

"Boom!"

The house Lin Fan lived in, under the impact of that invisible fluctuation, actually collapsed with a roar!

"Whoosh!"

Lin Fan flashed, quickly retreated from the house's range, and let out a long, turbid breath.

"This Medicinal Pill of Spirit Enhancement has a good effect!"

Having personally felt the power of his Mental Energy, Lin Fan was quite satisfied.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Just then, a series of whooshing sounds came.

Lin Xiao, Lin Zhentian, Lin Ken, and even Lin Mang, all rushed to this place in a hurry.

Behind them, Lin Dong and Qing Tan also followed closely.

"Faner, what happened?"

Lin Zhentian and the others quickly scanned the surroundings, then asked Lin Fan.

The house Lin Fan lived in had suddenly collapsed, which had startled all of them, making them think Lin Fan had been attacked.

Lin Fan said somewhat apologetically, "I was just Cultivating, and I accidentally shook the house down."

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Lin Zhentian and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Ken laughed, "As expected of the Lin family's number one Genius, his Cultivation is truly extraordinary."

Lin Fan said helplessly, "Uncle, I have no place to stay tonight, so please don't tease me anymore."

"Haha!"

Everyone burst into laughter upon hearing this.

After laughing, Lin Xiao said, "It's getting late now. You can make do with Dong'er for one night, and tomorrow we'll have someone prepare a room for you."

Lin Fan could only nod in agreement upon hearing this.

His Cultivation had lasted directly from noon until night, which was quite a long time.

However, perhaps it was precisely because of the longer duration that his Mental Energy grew gradually, causing him less suffering.

That night, Lin Fan went to Lin Dong's room to rest and also gave Lin Dong some pointers on parts of the second and third layers of the Shen Dong Chapter.

Subsequently, the Lin family enjoyed a rare period of calm.

Besides Cultivating every day, Lin Fan occasionally rode Fire'er with Qing Tan, cruising through the jungles deep within Tiemu Village, enjoying themselves immensely.

As for the demonic flower in the Yang Yuan Stone Mine, Lin Fan did not interfere.

More than ten days later, the Lin family's miners discovered a cave deep within the mine, and both Lin Dong and Xiao Yan obtained an Opportunity.

With Lin Fan's previous guidance, Lin Dong immediately activated the Cultivation method of the Shen Dong Chapter, thus enduring less torment.

Afterward, Lin Dong even used the Stone Talisman to purify the violent Yang Qi in the cave for Lin Zhentian's Cultivation.

These Yang Qi had considerable benefits for Lin Zhentian's Breakthrough to the Yuandan Realm.

If the Lin family continued to develop steadily like this, let alone dominating Qingyang Town, dominating Yan City, or even the entire Great Yan Dynasty, would only be a matter of time.

Unfortunately, some people were destined not to let the Lin family develop peacefully.

One day, after Lin Fan finished his Cultivation, he took Qing Tan and Lin Dong to stroll around the Qingyang Town's trade fair, also looking to see if he could find Spirit Medicine of the fourth grade or higher.

As Lin Fan and Lin Dong's Realms improved, third-grade Spirit Medicine no longer had much effect on them.

Perhaps it was because Lin Dong was with them, but their luck this time was quite good.

At the underground exchange, they purchased a fourth-grade Spirit Medicine, the Green Wood Spirit Stem, and an ancient wood containing runes.

However, on their way back, an unexpected change suddenly occurred!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

From the houses on both sides of the street, more than a dozen arrows suddenly shot out like lightning, heading straight for them!

"Be careful!"

Lin Fan warned, picking up Qing Tan with one hand, strong Yuan Qi surging around his body, and Mental Energy spreading out, clearly discerning the trajectories of the arrows and dodging all of them!

Lin Dong also remained calm in the face of danger, quickly avoiding all the arrows.

"Thud, thud!"

More than a dozen sharp arrows struck the ground, burying themselves half a foot deep, their fletchings vibrating rapidly, emitting a series of trembling sounds!

"Hmph!"

Lin Fan let out a cold snort, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and he abruptly waved his left arm. More than a dozen Shattering Yuan Needles, controlled by Mental Energy, precisely shot towards the archers on the rooftops on both sides.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

In an instant, more than a dozen figures holding longbows tumbled down from the houses!

"Clap, clap!"

At this moment, crisp applause suddenly sounded from the street corner.

Lin Fan turned his head to look, only to see two middle-aged men standing nearby, smiling.
