Chapter 84: Impact of Three Treasures (Seeking Votes and Bookmarks)

  The dawn breaks, and the misty morning fog wraps a thin layer of gauze around the mountain shadows outside.

  Lin Xuan had taken more than a dozen "Small Return Elixirs", and he only felt his whole body full of energy, and after slightly adjusting the stored power, there was no hindrance at all.

  Inside the cave, only Jiang Lin was left, lost outside to find food for the three of them. She saw Lin Huan resting and his gaze shifted from outside the cave, delightedly saying: "Lin Gongzi, you've recovered?" Lin Huan nodded: "Thanks to Miss Jiang's 'Small Return Dan', this dan is indeed effective, allowing me to recover so quickly."

  Two people talked for a while, suddenly, from the depths of the cave came a faint rustling sound.

  Lin Heng furrowed his brow, his gaze probing into the depths of the dark cave, but he couldn't see anything. He took in the cave for the first time, noticing that the stone walls were smooth and the interior space was narrow and cramped. From the outside, it looked like a natural formation, probably thousands of years old. Suddenly, he remembered the terrifying cave from last time, his heart skipped a beat, wondering if there might be some kind of monster lurking in the depths.

  Jiang Lin saw his furrowed brow and casually said: "It should be the sound of a mouse, since we came in, every day at this time it has been calling out."

  The cave is quiet, and the rustling sound disappears quickly. Inside the cave, only the lonely sound of "drip, drip" remains.

  Lin Heng saw no movement again and didn't pay attention to it either.

  "These days, there has been no sign of Yang Bo, hasn't he been searching for us?" In Lin Fang's mind, the last time he used the Thirteen Punches and fought with Yang Bo, he felt that he had heavily injured Yang Bo, but as to how badly, he didn't know.

  Jiang Lin shook her head and said, "No, after you were brought in unconscious on that day, we have been closely observing. For the past ten days, Yang Bo has not appeared. In my opinion, you were seriously injured by him, which made him psychologically fearful. He didn't lend a hand, so he had to withdraw."

  Lin Heng was about to ask a serious question when suddenly that "squeaky" sound started again, and it seemed to have an extra hint of playfulness this time!

  Jiang Lin also noticed that the "squeaking" sound was different from before, and with Lin Hong suddenly not speaking, she felt a little scared, saying: "Young Master Lin, do you think this sound..."

  "Could it be that there's really something inside the cave?" Lin stretched his tall frame and picked up the heavy axe beside him.

  The cave was deep and winding, with the terrain sloping downward. The forest was dotted with torches, and they proceeded cautiously, step by step, towards the direction of the dripping water sound. According to his hearing, that strange "squeaking" sound was very close to the source of the "dripping water". Because every time the "squeak" sounded, those faint dripping water sounds would stop.

  "Drip, drip" grows fainter as it goes deeper, but the sound of dripping water becomes clearer.

  Jiang Lin followed behind him, her mind focused and on guard.

  Beyond a low and narrow entrance, the sound of dripping water appears before your eyes.

  But as I looked ahead, a vast expanse unfolded before me, and I arrived at a mountain cave the size of a grand hall. This should be the very end of the entire cave.

  The stone bamboo shoots were layered, and a cold air was forest-like. Lin Huan and Jiang Lin felt a thick and heavy humid air.

  The sound of dripping water came from afar, and the place where the water dripped was one of the bell-shaped stone stalactites. The tip of the stalactite emitted a crystal-clear liquid, which dripped down from its body onto the hard ground. Several gray bats were happily licking up the dripping liquid, occasionally chirping with joy. Without a doubt, the "chirping" sound came from these bats.

  Jiang Lin's heart was greatly relieved, and she lightly patted her chest, saying: "It turned out to be just a few small bats causing trouble. I thought it was some kind of terrifying monster hiding, almost scared me to death."

  Lin Heng remained motionless, his eyes as if attracted by a huge treasure, staring unwaveringly at the stone pillar dripping with stone liquid.

  Jiang Lin noticed something strange and cast her gaze on the stone pillar.

  This stone bamboo shoot is over two meters high, with a semi-blue color and a transparent texture. The body of the stone bamboo shoot seems to be flowing with some kind of strange liquid. It was formed by the sudden eruption of rock from underground, which should have been formed by water droplets falling from the top of the cave for thousands of years. However, there is no sign of water above it, and the water droplet on its tip is actually condensed from the energy inside, naturally condensing at the tip and then falling to the ground.

  Wow, this stone bamboo can actually produce its own stone sap?

  Jiang Lin's eyes widened, and after a moment, she blurted out: "Shi Zhu Bing Quan!"

  Lin Heng also recognized it early on, but hadn't confirmed yet. Unexpectedly, Jiang Lin also recognized it, and instantly confirmed without a doubt.

  "Finally found it..." Jiang Lin's face lit up with joy as she rushed in front of Shi Zhu.

  A few bats appeared in front of a stranger and suddenly disappeared like transparent objects.

  Lin Heng knew that this bat had been using Shizhu Ice Spring as food for a long time, producing some kind of special spiritual power.

  "My grandmother has been suffering from deviation for ten years and couldn't be cured. Xiaoyi and I sneaked into this vast mountain without telling Father, our goal is this 'Stone Bamboo Ice Spring'. After going through countless hardships, I finally found it!" Jiang Lin's excited voice trembled slightly.

  Lin Hang didn't expect that Jiang Lin was also here for the "Shi Zhuo Bing Quan". The most precious thing about "Shi Zhuo Bing Quan" is its naturally formed stone liquid. This stone pillar has been formed for countless years, and a small pool of stone liquid has already formed on one side. Although many bats have drunk from it, there is still plenty left. It should be enough to supply just the two of them!

  Lin Heng felt deeply moved: The world is really as the saying goes, "The most clichéd phrase that can't be more clichéd": After searching everywhere and exhausting all means, it turns out to be effortless.

  Originally thought this trip would be a failure, but unexpectedly found "Shi Zhui Bing Quan" at the last moment.

  "Seven-inch rhododendron, gentian fruit, these two have been found long ago. Now I've obtained the 'Stone Bamboo Ice Spring'! All three are complete, it's hard for me not to advance to third-grade." He thought of Yang Bo's third-grade powerhouse's unstoppable force quality and abnormal speed, thought of Ling Wu's flying agility and elegance, his heart surged with an irrepressible excitement.

  With the solid foundation he had laid, and the new power that Tiered Wind and Turning Gale unleashed under his comprehension. He believed that once he entered the third rank, his strength would far surpass Yang Bo's. From now on, don't mention breaking his "Extinction Sword", even if an axe were to split him in two, it might still be possible!

  The cave was exceptionally quiet, with lost eyes staring into the distance, hiding at the entrance, fully alert.

  Jiang Lin was somewhat worried and said to Lin Hong: "Young master, can you really do it? Do you really want to rely on your inner elixir to enter the third rank here?"

  "Everything is ready, just waiting for the east wind. I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, there shouldn't be any problems. You and Míng Shī help me guard the entrance of the cave, just don't let anyone disturb me."

  Jiang Lin saw his resolute attitude and could only give up. She said firmly, "You focus on breaking through the levels. As long as my master and I are here, unless they trample over our corpses, no one can enter."

  She came to the entrance of the cave, carefully examined the trap she had set up before, and felt that it was still not enough. She took out all the objects on her body that could be used, and maximized the power of the trap.

  Weak sunlight shone through the entrance, and in front of Lin lay "Dragon Gall Fruit", "Seven-inch Divine Bud", "Stone Bamboo Ice Spring", as well as that fist-sized emerald-red inner dan of the Crowned Scale Beast. The "Seven-inch Divine Bud" and "inner dan" he had carefully carried on his back without any damage.

  As long as four kinds of medicine are refined, unexpectedly, he will make a breakthrough in three products and achieve great success.

  Three top martial artists, Qili Gou hasn't appeared in decades!

  Lin Heng's first action was not to refine immediately, but to pick out a high-quality inner elixir from the package on his side and swallow it down.

  He must raise his current strength to its highest point before formally attempting the breakthrough, so that after successfully breaking through, he will have an extra portion of growth in strength.

  This method of directly taking the elixir was learned from Hei Jia Bai, and each time he could only infuse one pill to its maximum limit. His goal was not just to break through the ranks, but to enter the third rank after that, and to further increase his strength as much as possible, even to impact the middle of the third rank in one go.

  Half a time, the refinement of the first-grade inner elixir was completed, and his spiritual sea was full of energy, with a significant increase.

  Next, it's time to enter the real sprint stage.

  Lin Heng took a deep breath, his eyes scanning the four objects in front of him one by one. His consciousness controlled it, and the beast blood energy of the inner elixir connected with it, "Yao Guan Lin Meng" inner elixir rose up. Lin Heng's potential was like warm seawater spreading out, tightly wrapping around the inner elixir.

  With that, the "Stone Bamboo Ice Spring" suddenly emerged, and under the action of the hidden power, it transformed into clusters of illusory transparent energy, seeping into the Fourth Grade Inner Dan.
