Chapter 27: Martial Arts Academy

  Slipping back into her room, Lin Dong first locked the door from inside, then leaned against it and let out a sigh of relief. He immediately walked to the desk and opened the brocade box in his hand.

  The brocade box was opened, revealing the red satin inside. On that satin, two lingzhi mushrooms with their entire bodies blood-red, as if burning with flames, lay quietly. A tempting fragrance wafted out.

  "Blood Orange."

  Looking at the two blood-red Ganoderma, Lin Dong's face also couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy, apparently having heard of this extremely valuable third-grade spiritual medicine.

  "These two Fire Blood Bamboos are probably worth at least a thousand taels of silver..." Lin Dong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, such a huge sum, he had never seen before.

  Lin shook his hands, took out the stone symbol that had been stored close to his body, and first stuck it onto a fire blood mushroom.

  Under the contact of the stone symbol, that fire blood bamboo also withered rapidly without surprise, as if the essence and medicinal power inside were all swallowed by the stone symbol.

  After swallowing this Flame Blood Bamboo, three fire-red Dan pills also fell out of the Stone Symbol, which were caught by Lin Dong.

  Dan Wan got the pill, and it turned out to have a faint warmth. Lin Dong's face also showed an uncontrollable joy, it seemed that this Huo Xue Zhi was even more powerful than the Shui Jing Zhu Guo he had encountered last time.

  With this harvest, Lin Dong also used the stone symbol to devour another fire blood bamboo, and the last two fire blood bamboos transformed into six fire red dan pills.

  He put the six scarlet dan pills into a bottle, and Lin Dong nodded in satisfaction. He sat cross-legged on the bed, took out two bottles from under his pillow, one of which contained two dan pills refined from water crystal jujube, and the other was dozens of dark white yin pearls that Lin Dong had absorbed with stone symbols during the outbreak of cold air in Qingtan's body over this period.

  According to Lin Xiao, these yin pearls are extremely valuable, and the hidden yin evil energy they contain is especially important for high-ranking masters of the Earth Yuan realm. These were also prepared by Lin Dong for himself after he advanced to the Earth Yuan realm in the future.

  He carefully poured out a pill from the bottle containing the Crystal Zhu Guo Dan, gritted his teeth and swallowed it. He didn't care about the value of the pill, he just wanted to increase his strength first.

  As soon as that Dan pill entered his body, Lin Dong felt a surge of exceptionally pure medicinal power bursting out within him in an instant.

  Under the effect of that peerless medicine, Lin Dong's body was like a greedy hungry ghost, crazily devouring the pure medicinal power, whether it was his muscles or internal organs.

  When the whole body starts to absorb, the yuan force seeds flowing in the meridians also emit a strong suction force, absorbing some medicinal forces and making the yuan force seeds even more powerful.

  The whole family's mobilization to absorb the medicinal power lasted for about ten minutes, and the majestic medicinal power finally weakened. After another half hour passed slowly, Lin Dong's eyes also slowly opened.

  "What a powerful medicine..."

  Opening his eyes, Lin Dong felt the increasingly abundant power within his body and the Yuan Force seeds in his meridians. His eyes had an uncontrollable look of surprise.

  This was his first time taking this Dan pill refined from the three spiritual medicines, and the effect was simply beyond expectation.

  Generally, elixirs, although they have a nourishing effect on the body, will inevitably show some impurities due to various reasons. However, the danwan that Lin Dong swallowed did not have such impurities at all. It was as if Shi Xiu had removed all those impurities when refining the danwan.

  This way, it also enables the human body to fully absorb this mild and majestic medicinal power.

  In this case, the effect of a Danwan pill is far from comparable to that of a spiritual medicine.

  Because of this absorption, there won't be the slightest waste. The effect obtained from one Dan pill is something that others might need to take several stalks and three types of spiritual medicine to match.

  "The primal seed is also growing stronger and stronger. At this rate, it won't be too long before it can advance to the eighth stage of Tempering."

  Lin Dong's eyes were filled with excitement, and when he heard that Lin Xiao and the others had placed their hopes of hunting on him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pressure. The Lei and Xie families were more powerful than his own Lin family, and it was said that this generation of young people from those families included some quite formidable individuals. If Lin Dong wanted to catch up with them, it would clearly require no small amount of effort.

  As a member of the Lin family, he naturally had to consider the interests of his family as well. The hunting activity was quite beneficial for the reputation of the Lin family. If they could achieve good results this time, then in the future, the Lin family would also be able to stand alongside the Crazy Blade Dojo and the Lei and Xie families.

  "Tong Bei Fist and Ba Huang Palm, I've thoroughly mastered them. Tomorrow, I'll go to the family's martial arts hall to take a look. If I can learn some powerful martial arts, it will also increase my combat power." Lin Dong muttered to himself. After all, his advantage lay in the guidance of the stone symbol's light and shadow. With that thing, he could bring out the full potential of his martial arts, so this advantage couldn't be abandoned.

  With a decision made in his heart, Lin Dong finally put away the bottles and jars before lying down and falling into a deep sleep. Today's intense battle had left him rather exhausted.

  …

  The next day, after Lin Dong finished his training course, he rushed to the Lin family. Along the way, he met many people, but these unfamiliar people in the past now actively came forward to greet him when they saw Lin Dong, and their familiar appearance made Lin Dong feel uneasy, so he casually responded and quickly retreated.

  The Martial Arts Hall is located in the backyard of the Lin family. This place can be considered a sacred place for the Lin family, and generally only those who have been allowed to enter can do so.

  At the entrance of the martial arts hall, there were guards on duty. However, they also seemed to recognize Lin Dong, so after nodding their heads in a friendly manner, they let him enter.

  As soon as he stepped into the martial arts library, a whiff of musty book smell wafted up to him. Lin Dong's eyes scanned around and found that this library was quite spacious, with rows of red wooden shelves standing upright, laden with numerous martial art books.

  So many martial arts books, it's the first time I've seen such a large collection since Lin Dong's history. At this moment, his eyes were filled with intense heat, he knew that these martial arts books in front of him were collected by the Lin family at an extremely high cost.

  Lin walked quietly in the martial arts hall, with various martial arts moves flashing before her eyes.

  One style of martial arts, Mountain Collapsing Fist.

  One style of martial arts, Whirlwind Kick Method.

  Two types of martial arts, swimming body palm.

  ……

  All sorts of martial arts, dazzling to the eyes, but most of the martial arts he saw were first-rate, second-rate were fewer, and third-rate ones were not found at all.

  "The three rare martial arts are all inside, it's impossible to find them..." Just as Lin Dong furrowed his brow, a soft voice suddenly sounded from behind him. He hastily turned around, only to see Lin Xia embracing her chest with both arms, leaning against a bookshelf and smiling at him.

  "Lin Xia sister, you're here too." Seeing Lin Xia, Lin Dong also smiled and said.

  "Lin Dong's younger brother, can't you see? He's actually hiding so deeply..." Lin Xia walked into Lin Dong, brought a lovely face over, and smiled sweetly.

  Lin Dong could only respond with a dry smile.

  "Let's go, I'll take you to see the family's three-product martial arts. However, Grandfather said that if you haven't reached the Earth Yuan realm, it's not suitable to cultivate three-product or higher martial arts." Lin Xia hummed softly, then walked past Lin Dong, her slender figure looking particularly enticing.

  Lin Dong put down the two-volume martial arts book in his hand and smiled, also following along.

  Following Lin Xia, they walked for a few more minutes, and the bookshelves became fewer and farther between. Finally, Lin Xia stopped in front of the last bookshelf at the very back, saying: "This is all of our family's third-grade martial arts."

  Lin Dong curiously leaned over, and saw that on the shelf, there were ten ancient yellow book scrolls. Next to the book scrolls stood a separate wooden sign with detailed introductions about its martial arts.

  "Three supreme martial arts, returning wind and gentle hands..."

  "Three Styles of Martial Arts, Traceless Claw..."

  “…”

  Lin Dong's gaze swept over the ten wooden plaques, his eyes also shining brightly. These martial arts, just by hearing their names, seemed even more domineering than what he had seen before.

  "You don't really want to cultivate third-grade martial arts, do you?" Lin Xia said with a hint of annoyance, seeing Lin Dong's appearance.

  Lin Dong smiled and was about to casually pick one, but his gaze suddenly swept to the corner of the wooden rack, where there was actually a volume of dark-colored martial arts books.

  "What is this?"

  Lin Dong walked forward, his eyes somewhat puzzled as he looked at the wooden sign beside the book.

  Three Treasures of Martial Arts, Qimen Seal, Fragmented Chapter.

  The recommended votes are about to explode, and I kindly ask all brothers and sisters to lend a hand. Thank you very much.
