Chapter 105: Mid-Three Products
A thick fog, like a steamer.
Lin Xiang immersed himself in the "Mantis" within, closing his eyes to practice the "Refining Spirit Mind Method".
"The Jade Cicada" was just a precious vessel, but after Lin Huan had soaked in it several times, he discovered the wonders of this vessel. It was extremely sensitive to the affinity of the hidden power, and every day at this hour, Lin Huan would soak in it to practice his cultivation.
At this time, in Lin's divine sea of consciousness, the third whirlpool was condensing a strand of Reiki flow quality, which was slowly flowing up and down.
"The Mantis" produces a mysterious energy, which is transmitted through the warm water vapor and enters the body. The potential flow in Lin's whirlpool becomes exceptionally soft and sticky. "Practicing Divine Mind Method" is a basic mind method for warriors, with Lin's current rank, its effect is almost negligible. But there's no other way, this is the only internal cultivation secret book he has mastered.
Nei Xiu secret books are more difficult to obtain than Wu Ji secret books. Even in large sects, they are extremely rare and strictly prohibited from being passed on externally.
A set of internal repair secret books, for the speed of a warrior's cultivation, plays a decisive role. Just like the patriarch Huo Tianzhao, why did he cultivate bitterly for decades and still couldn't reach the third rank? The reason is that he and Lin Hong are the same, until now they are using the "Practicing Divine Mind Method", this kind of rubbish that can be found everywhere on the street.
If he could find some good internal repair secrets, I'm afraid he would soon enter the threshold of three products.
This is also the reason why most warriors rush to join the sect forces, because once they enter the sect, they will get good internal repair secrets, and the road to martial arts will be twice as effective.
Lin had long been thinking of searching for a higher-level inner alchemy method, but he had yet to encounter one, so he could only continue using this "Cultivating Spirit Method" as a temporary substitute.
A light "ding" sound echoed, the third potential vortex shook, and the slow-moving liquid had already rushed to the long-awaited mysterious point in the forest.
Finally entered the middle of three products!
Lin Heng only felt that his whole body was extremely comfortable and full of infinite power! He introspected the changes in every fiber and bone in his body, and sighed in his heart: So this is mid-term strength! It's too strong, far surpassing the initial stage by a huge margin!
He opened his eyes and felt extremely delighted in his heart.
With the great war imminent, now stepping into the middle of the third rank is equivalent to having another strength to challenge the Qiu family!
Thinking of Qiu's family as a powerful opponent, he suddenly felt an excited urge to try.
What's going to happen to Cao Guan? Judging from the timing, he'll be gone in two days. He appointed himself as the temporary head of the Cao family, but his sons won't accept it for sure. While he's still around, he can still suppress them, but once he's gone, they'll probably cause trouble.
He narrowed his eyes, thinking about the several useless sons of the Cao family. With the Qiu family's massive attack imminent, the entire Qingniu Town was on the brink of life and death, with every moment counting. If anyone dared to come out and cause trouble, sabotaging things for personal grievances, don't blame me for being ruthless! Anyway, since Cao Guan handed over power to himself, he would definitely have expected this, so there's no need to be soft-hearted.
A great enemy is lurking, if we don't take drastic measures to stabilize the internal situation, we can only wait for death!
There is another point, relying on Lin Huan's own three-product, it is definitely not a match for the Qiu family. According to Cao Guan, his Cao family has been secretly hiring five mysterious guest officials, and when the time comes, he will hand over the power of punishment to himself. What kind of realm are these five guest officials, and are there any four-product strongholds?
To a large extent, whether or not they can resist Qiu's family success and give them a heavy blow depends on the strength of these five guest officials!
He washed his face and came out of the "Mantis" wiping his body.
"This 'Mantis' is really good stuff, not only can it help warriors warm up and accumulate energy, but also improve their training. What surprised Lin was that if he soaked in it and practiced the inner alchemy of demonic beasts, he could actually refine two at a time. The direct method of refining inner alchemy that he learned from Hei Jia Bai had always had a limitation, which was that he could only refine one inner alchemy at a time, even after entering the third rank. However, with this 'Mantis', he found that he could refine two at once, doubling his refining ability. Of course, compared to his third-rank cultivation, it's still not impressive, but accumulating day by day, this method of refinement, one layer upon another, is not a small amount."
Just as Lin Huan had predicted, the Cao family was sinking into a state of oppressive confusion.
Cao Guan swept his gaze towards the more than ten children who had heard that he was going to hand over the Cao family to Lin Huan, all of whom had faces with a tinge of iron and displeasure.
At this critical moment, the Cao family is about to face a catastrophic disaster, yet they are still narrowly focused on this small power struggle and petty grievances. It's really hard for them to become great leaders! Alas, I hope that after I leave, the ancestors of the Cao family can protect them and help them survive this calamity. These children are not capable of greatness, but they are still descendants of the Cao family. If the Qiu family wins this war, they will inevitably face a cruel death sentence!
"Father, Lin Huan is after all an outsider and an enemy of the Cao family. How can you entrust him with great power? Even if it's temporary, it's extremely dangerous. Have you thought about it, once he has a change of heart, our Cao family won't need the Qiu family to take action, we'll directly collapse in his hands!" The sixth son, Cao Bao, finally couldn't bear it and jumped out to oppose.
As soon as someone comes out, several others follow suit.
"Lin Heng has just killed Cao Jian, how can he let such an enemy take charge of the Cao family..."
"Father, we know you're doing this for the good of the Cao family, but we can't accept this decision. Are we inferior to that Lin person? Can't we stand up against the Qiu family?"
Cao Guan weakly closed his eyes, as if he was too weak, but also seemed unwilling to look at the few of them.
His face had not a hint of blood color, and several strands of black death energy were now present between his eyebrows. However, this old man who was near death still devoted himself to the family, contributing his last bit of strength.
"You think you can go against the Qiu family? Others may not know your background, but as your father who has raised you for twenty or thirty years, I have a good understanding of what's in your hearts. At that time, you'll only need to worry about internal strife!" He was suddenly overcome with a severe bout of coughing, and Cao Hongjuan, who was standing beside him, anxiously used a handkerchief to wipe away the blood he had coughed up.
"Stop arguing, does Father not have the best interests of his children at heart? For decades, he has managed the family and brought prosperity to the Cao household. Which step did he take incorrectly? Moreover, this is a matter of great importance! I think you are all just pretending to care about the family's safety and Cao Jian's grudges, but in reality, you are all vying for power! Let me warn you, if anyone angers Father, don't blame me when I call for disciplinary action!"
Cao Guan let out a long sigh and said, "This time the Qiu family has come with great momentum and determination, they will not stop until my Cao family is destroyed! If Cao Xin were at home, perhaps there would still be some ability to resist for a while, and I wouldn't have to rely on outsiders. But you few are so arrogant and incompetent, do you think you can withstand the Qiu family? When the time comes and you face the Qiu family's numerous strong experts, if you don't wet your pants that would be good."
Cao Xin is Cao Guan's third son and the most talented in martial arts among his 14 siblings. At the age of 16, he traveled to the far-off Han country's number one great sect: Mo Xuan Forbidden Sect, to start his martial journey. Five years ago, he sent a letter back saying that he had advanced to the second-grade late stage and gained the favor of the elder, becoming a true inner disciple of the Mo Xuan Forbidden Sect.
This is Cao Guan's most proud son, unfortunately he is not by his side at the moment and has no idea about the situation at home.
The others who heard him praise Cao Xin so much, although they were not pleased in their hearts, did not take it too seriously either. Because they really had a clear understanding of themselves and knew that they could not match up to Cao Xin.
"This matter is settled, you don't need to say anything more. The Cao family welcomes the greatest crisis in a hundred years, whether they can get through it depends on the luck of heaven. Lin and I have reached an agreement, he will take control of all the Cao family's military power starting tomorrow, with the power to kill or spare anyone. If you dare to make trouble, no one will be able to save you at that time."
"...As long as Qiu family withdraws, he will hand over the power to Hong Juan and Cao Zhi. I believe he won't go back on his word, he is different from you, his pursuit is not these small family powers, not in Qingniu Town, his ideals are much greater than yours. If any of you can achieve even a tenth of what he has achieved, I will be at ease tomorrow."
Cao Hongjuan thought of him leaving this world and couldn't help but feel a deep sorrow, quietly sobbing softly.
Cao Guan lovingly stroked the beautiful hair of his most sensible daughter, saying: "Originally, I wanted to entrust you to Lin Yang, so that your future would be secure and the Cao family would have a chance to rise again. Alas... unfortunately... no matter what, remember your father's advice, don't offend Lin Yang again. It's better to offend anyone else than him, my judgment won't be wrong. In the future, Qingniu Town will be his domain, as for the Cao family, he owes me a promise, if he doesn't provoke him, he will spare the Cao family."
Cao Hongjuan saw her father thinking for the family like this, cried into a tearful person, nodding while crying and wiping away tears.
