38: In the deep cultivation, the Heavenly Demon Marten appears!

The next day, news of the Xie Family’s high-ranking members being wiped out, and the Lei Family being completely annihilated, spread throughout Qingyang Town.

Almost everyone in Qingyang Town was in an uproar!

The Lei and Xie Families had always been the local tyrants of Qingyang Town, and it was only through the combined efforts of the Lin Family and the Mad Blade Martial Hall that they could maintain stability.

However, now, the Lin Family had, in a single night, crippled the Xie Family and annihilated the Lei Family. This was simply too shocking!

As the instigator of this great battle, Lin Fan also became widely renowned in Qingyang Town.

All the younger generation in Qingyang Town regarded Lin Fan as an idol.

Even the leaders of the various factions in Qingyang Town dared not show the slightest disrespect to Lin Fan!

After all, according to the news circulating from the Lin Family’s guard 隊, Lin Fan had successively killed four Heavenly Yuan Realm experts!

Currently, in Qingyang Town, apart from the Lin Family, no other faction possessed four Heavenly Yuan Realm experts!

Even the Mad Blade Martial Hall only had three Heavenly Yuan Realm experts!

With the annihilation of the Lei Family and the crippling of the Xie Family, the Lin Family in Qingyang Town was now at its zenith, becoming the undisputed overlord!

All of the Lei Family’s assets were taken over by the Lin Family, and the Xie Family was also forced to cede a considerable amount of benefits.

After this incident, the Lin Family’s influence grew even stronger.

Many experts from the vicinity of Qingyang Town also joined the Lin Family at this time, making up for the Lin Family’s shortage of manpower.

Of course, some important positions were still preferentially arranged for the Lin Family’s veterans.

Lin Zhentian entrusted all these matters to Lin Xiao and his two brothers to handle, while he continued to seclude himself in the cave deep within the Yang Yuan Stone Mine, striving to break through to the Lesser Yuandan Realm.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong, the two brothers, also devoted themselves wholeheartedly to Cultivation.

However, Lin Dong would, from time to time, help Lin Zhentian purify a portion of Yang Qi for Lin Zhentian to absorb and refine.

Lin Fan had previously obtained three Yin and Yang Pearls from Qing Tan through a lottery. He planned to refine them, and by then, he would likely be able to Breakthrough to the Lesser Yuandan Realm.

However, each Yin and Yang Pearl required a considerable amount of time to be completely refined and absorbed.

One day, while Lin Fan was Cultivating, Lin Dong suddenly came over, his expression somewhat solemn.

“What’s wrong?” Lin Fan asked when he saw Lin Dong’s appearance.

Lin Dong said worriedly, “Brother Lin Fan should know that the Stone Talisman comes with a unique space that can be used to assist in Cultivating Martial Art.”

“Recently, I’ve always felt as if there’s something in the Stone Talisman’s space secretly observing my Cultivation.”

Lin Fan’s heart stirred upon hearing this. The one secretly observing Lin Dong must be Xiao Diao in its Yao Spirit state.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Lin Fan said, “A divine object of heaven and earth like the Stone Talisman must have had other owners before you.”

“They might have had similar experiences to what I saw in my dream, where the Stone Talisman’s existence was discovered, and they were then hunted down and killed.”

“Some powerful existences might have fortunately left behind remnant souls, or if they were Yao Beasts, they might have left behind Yao Spirits.”

Lin Dong was startled upon hearing this, “Brother Lin Fan, are you saying that there might be remnant souls of other powerful experts, or Yao Spirits, within the Stone Talisman?”

“Precisely. But you don’t need to be too nervous. Since that hidden existence hasn’t attacked you, it’s highly likely that it’s currently very weak,” Lin Fan nodded slightly, comforting him.

“Furthermore, that hidden existence might have only recently awakened. Otherwise, you should have sensed something when you first obtained the Stone Talisman.”

Lin Dong recalled for a moment, then suddenly clapped his hands and said,

“I know! It must have been after absorbing the Fire Ancestor Demonic Flower last time that the hidden existence awakened. But how should I deal with it?”

Lin Fan stroked his chin and said, “You can try using Mental Energy to scan every inch of the Stone Talisman’s space. Try it a few times, and you’ll definitely find it.”

“Once you find it, communicate with it and see its attitude. If it’s not sensible, take advantage of its weakened state and directly obliterate it with Mental Energy!”

“Okay, I’ll try. Please act as my Protector, Brother Lin Fan,” Lin Dong nodded, immediately sat cross-legged, and slowly closed his eyes.

In an instant, his Mental Energy felt a blur, and that familiar Mental Space reappeared. Lin Dong’s Mental Energy phantom sat cross-legged, extending his Mental Energy bit by bit, scanning every inch of the darkness.

After more than half an hour, Lin Dong finally slowly opened his eyes, a deep weariness on his face,

“I found it, Brother Lin Fan. It’s just as you said. There’s a Yao Spirit hidden in the Stone Talisman. It claims to be from the Heavenly Demon Mink clan and is the previous owner of the Stone Talisman.”

“The Heavenly Demon Mink clan is rumored to be an extremely powerful Yao Beast race. Any single Heavenly Demon Mink could easily annihilate the Great Yan Dynasty!”

Lin Fan said with a serious tone upon hearing this.

Lin Dong’s heart trembled violently, “Could it be that it wasn’t bragging just now?”

Lin Fan smiled and said, “But you don’t need to worry. It’s definitely extremely weak right now. If you’re willing, you can even devour it.”

“Communicate with it, ask it for some Yuan Power Cultivation Techniques or Mental Energy Cultivation methods, and test its attitude. As for how to deal with it, let’s see its attitude first.”

Lin Dong nodded, once again submerged himself into that mysterious dark space, found Xiao Diao, and began to communicate with him.

Xiao Diao looked like he was disappointed, “Didn’t I tell you not to tell anyone about the Stone Talisman? How could you sell me out so quickly!”

Lin Dong said indifferently, “Brother Lin Fan knew about the Stone Talisman’s existence long ago. I once wanted to give him the Stone Talisman, but he refused. I trust him one hundred percent.”

Xiao Diao stared with his small eyes and said, “Mind your own business. You’ll know once you suffer a loss!”

Lin Dong didn’t waste words with Xiao Diao and inquired about Yuan Power Cultivation Techniques and Mental Energy Cultivation methods.

After a friendly exchange between the human and the sable, Xiao Diao reluctantly handed over the Cultivation Technique Great Sun Thunder Body and the Mental Secret Technique Essence Transformation Spirit Swirl.

He also guided Lin Dong to the location of the Mental Grinding Mill.

“Thank you. Don’t worry, if I get the chance, I’ll help you find Spirit Medicine to nourish your Yao Spirit.”

After Lin Dong got what he wanted, he smiled and said to Xiao Diao, then exited that special space.

Only Xiao Diao was left in that special space, fuming, but deep down, he had a faint glimmer of anticipation.

Outside.

Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes, a smile on his face, “Brother Lin Fan, that Heavenly Demon Mink’s Yao Spirit was actually quite easy to talk to.”

“He gave me a Body Refining Cultivation Technique and a Mental Secret Technique. Also, he guided me to temper my Mental Energy in the Stone Talisman space, but that method cannot be used outside.”

At this point, Lin Dong felt a bit embarrassed.

Lin Fan waved his hand and said, “It’s fine. First, give me a brief introduction to that Body Refining Cultivation Technique and Mental Secret Technique.”

Lin Dong nodded slightly and introduced them to Lin Fan without hesitation.

Lin Fan was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. It was indeed these two.

After Lin Dong finished his introduction, he said, “Brother Lin Fan, I’ll now recite the contents of this Cultivation Technique to you.”

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly, “Forget it. Just teach me that Essence Transformation Spirit Swirl. You can Cultivate the Great Sun Thunder Body yourself.”

Lin Fan believed that in the future, he would definitely have the opportunity to win better Body Refining Cultivation Techniques in the lottery, or even directly obtain a powerful Physique.

Cultivating the Great Sun Thunder Body was truly too tormenting.

What he valued more was the improvement of his Yuan Power Cultivation and Mental Energy Realm.

Lin Dong had no objections to this and immediately passed on the Essence Transformation Spirit Swirl to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan patted Lin Dong’s shoulder and smiled, “I’ve noted it down. This Essence Transformation Spirit Swirl is quite interesting.”

As soon as Lin Fan made a move, the familiar voice of the System in his mind sounded again...
