5: Brotherly love, clan competition day!

"Ding! You touched Lin Dong and obtained one stalk of third-grade Spirit Medicine, Golden Sun Ganoderma!"

A third-grade Spirit Medicine, not bad!

Hearing the System's reward, Lin Fan was delighted. He then pretended to reach into his embrace to retrieve something, taking out the Golden Sun Ganoderma from his System Space.

Lin Dong looked at the Spirit Medicine in Lin Fan's hand, his eyes lighting up. "Lin Fan Ge, what kind of Spirit Medicine is this?"

"This is a third-grade Spirit Medicine, Golden Sun Ganoderma. I came to find you because I wanted you to purify it," Lin Fan said, handing the Golden Sun Ganoderma to Lin Dong.

"What should I do?" Although Lin Dong knew the Stone Talisman could purify Spirit Medicine, he didn't know how to operate it.

Lin Fan didn't rush to answer, "Let's go to the cave we usually frequent first, to avoid being discovered."

"Hmm, alright," Lin Dong naturally had no objection to this.

Soon, the two arrived at the cave where Lin Dong had discovered the Stone Talisman.

Only then did Lin Fan say to Lin Dong, "Hold the Golden Sun Ganoderma in one hand, and with your other hand, take out the Stone Talisman. Bring the two close together, and don't worry about anything else."

Lin Dong nodded and followed the instructions.

When the Golden Sun Ganoderma was about an inch away from the Stone Talisman, a powerful suction force suddenly surged out from within the Stone Talisman!

Then, the Golden Sun Ganoderma shot directly towards the Stone Talisman, disappearing in an instant!

"Lin Fan Ge, this..."

Lin Dong was stunned by this scene, and at the same time, felt a little embarrassed.

It seemed the Stone Talisman had swallowed Lin Fan's Spirit Medicine?

Lin Fan smiled slightly, "No rush, just watch."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong stared at the Stone Talisman without blinking.

Suddenly, the groove of the Stone Talisman began to flicker with a reddish-gold light.

The light grew more and more intense, until finally, it condensed into two reddish-gold Medicinal Pills the size of beans, which then rolled down!

Lin Fan was prepared. He directly reached out his hand, caught the two Medicinal Pills, and then looked at Lin Dong, "Do you understand now?"

"These Medicinal Pills should be condensed by the Stone Talisman using the previous Golden Sun Ganoderma. That was the process of the Stone Talisman purifying the Spirit Medicine."

From the Medicinal Pills, Lin Dong smelled the same scent as the previous Red Sun Ganoderma, coupled with the earlier scene, so he quickly understood everything.

Lin Fan nodded slightly, "That's right. In the future, if you obtain Spirit Medicine of third-grade or higher, you can use the method just now to purify it into Medicinal Pills. If the grade is too low, purification won't be of much use."

Lin Dong's eyes lit up. "I'll remember that."

"Alright, put away the Stone Talisman," Lin Fan smiled slightly and instructed Lin Dong.

After Lin Dong put away the Stone Talisman, Lin Fan pinched one of the Medicinal Pills and handed it to Lin Dong, "We'll each have one of these Medicinal Pills."

Lin Dong waved his hand, "No, this is the third-grade Spirit Medicine you found, Lin Fan Ge. I can't take it."

Lin Fan's expression stiffened, and he said in a deep voice, "Lin Dong, are you treating me like an outsider? If so, then I won't ask for your help when I find Spirit Medicine in the future."

"This... alright, I'll take it," Lin Dong quickly said upon seeing this. "In the future, Lin Fan Ge, whenever you find Spirit Medicine, you can always ask me to help purify it."

"That's more like it," Lin Fan nodded slightly, then smiled, "However, Spirit Medicine of third-grade or higher isn't something you can easily find."

"Hehe," Lin Dong scratched his head and chuckled sheepishly.

Lin Fan said, "Although we are not biological brothers, we are closer than biological brothers. The Dao of Martial Art is long and arduous; we must support each other to walk more smoothly and go further!"

Lin Dong solemnly said, "Don't worry, Lin Fan Ge, I understand. From now on, we'll share blessings and endure hardships together!"

"Haha, good brother!" Lin Fan smiled slightly and reached out to pat Lin Dong's shoulder.

In an instant, the System notification sound echoed in his mind again.

"Ding! You touched Lin Dong and obtained ten Body Tempering Pills!"

Lin Fan was overjoyed. He hadn't received any rewards for the past half-month, but now he had gotten two rewards at once. His luck was good!

In his joyful mood, Lin Fan took out five Body Tempering Pills and handed them to Lin Dong, "I almost forgot, I also obtained a type of Medicinal Pill used for the Body Tempering Realm. These five are for you."

"This... Thank you, Lin Fan Ge," Lin Dong initially wanted to refuse, but remembering Lin Fan's earlier words, he accepted them.

Lin Dong felt even more grateful to Lin Fan in his heart, and at the same time, he resolved to repay Lin Fan in the future.

"Between brothers, let's not be strangers," Lin Fan smiled slightly, then continued, "It's best to take one Body Tempering Pill approximately every five days, of course, it also depends on your body's adaptability."

"As for the Medicinal Pill extracted from the Golden Sun Ganoderma, wait until you Cultivate to Body Tempering sixth level before taking it."

"Additionally, when you reach Body Tempering sixth level and a Yuan Power seed is born within your body, you can try to inject Yuan Power into the Stone Talisman. At that time, you'll be able to conceal the Stone Talisman within your body, better preserving its secret."

"Mm, I'll remember that," Lin Dong was delighted to hear this and nodded solemnly in agreement.

Lin Fan chatted with Lin Dong for a few more moments before parting ways with him.

In the time that followed, Lin Fan continuously used Body Tempering Pills to Cultivate, and from time to time, he would also continue to 'draw a prize' or something similar.

If he 'drew' Spirit Medicine of third-grade or higher, Lin Fan would ask Lin Dong for help to purify the Spirit Medicine into Medicinal Pills, and then they would split them evenly and use the Medicinal Pills to Cultivate.

Cultivation knows no years.

In the blink of an eye, more than five months had passed.

The day of the Lin Family's Family Competition had officially arrived!

Over five months, with the help of Body Tempering Pills and Spirit Medicine Medicinal Pills, Lin Fan's Cultivation had already reached Body Tempering ninth level!

Mainly, as his Cultivation advanced, the efficiency of the Body Tempering Pills' enhancement decreased.

Otherwise, the current Lin Fan would probably have already Broken Through to the Earthly Yuan Realm!

Of course, while improving his Cultivation, Lin Fan also didn't forget to Cultivate Martial Art.

With his Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability, Lin Fan found Cultivating Martial Art incredibly easy.

In addition to Tongbei Fist, Lin Fan also Cultivated Eight Wastelands Palm and Cracking Stone Leg, and all of them had been Cultivated to Perfection Realm.

He could actually Cultivate more, but Lin Fan felt there was no need to learn too many low-level Martial Art!

This morning.

After the Family had breakfast, Lin Xiao took Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Qing Tan to the Family Competition Trial Hall and headed straight for the VIP seats.

Over these five months, Lin Xiao's injuries had recovered, and with the help of Lin Fan and Lin Dong, his Cultivation had even surpassed his previous level, reaching the limit of the Heavenly Yuan Realm!

The current Lin Xiao was now the strongest in the Lin Family, having shed his previous decadent state and becoming vibrant once more!

The Lin Family held considerable weight in Qingyang Town, so many guests came to observe this Family Competition.

When Lin Fan and the others arrived, everyone looked towards Lin Xiao, who was leading them, and their expressions changed slightly.

Almost no one in Qingyang Town didn't know Lin Xiao.

In the few years after Lin Xiao was severely injured, he basically didn't show up at the Lin Family's Family Competition.

Even if he occasionally attended, he would only stand in an inconspicuous corner.

In everyone's eyes, Lin Xiao's actions today were somewhat unusual!

In the middle of the VIP seats, Lin Mang and his two sons also saw Lin Xiao's Family arrive.

Lin Shan slightly shrank his head, while Lin Hong gave Lin Fan a somewhat provocative look.

Lin Mang, however, looked in Lin Xiao's direction, his brows slightly furrowed.

As Lin Xiao passed by Lin Mang, Lin Mang suddenly smiled, holding a teacup, and said casually, "Third brother, why are you willing to leave your place this time?"
