After Lin Dong broke through!
Besides cultivating, Lin Yun also took time to guide Lin Dong and shared some of the elixirs refined by Red Spirit with him.
Given Lin Dong's current situation, it would be difficult for him to catch up to Lin Yun's pace by relying solely on his own efforts.
Even among those with cheats, there are big cheats and small cheats!
Now, his identity as an alchemist was known throughout the city.
Lin Dong didn't inquire much about how he refined elixirs; if Lin Yun gave them to him, he would accept them with peace of mind.
Lin Dong had now been molded into Lin Yun's image!
In his opinion, Lin Yun had given him too much, and he couldn't possibly repay it. It was better to listen to Lin Yun, diligently improve his strength, and follow his lead.
A few days later, Qing Tan's cold energy erupted again, more fiercely than before.
After Red Spirit helped alleviate it, the Yin Pearls condensed from her body had reached the level of seventh or eighth-grade Innate Yin Sha Qi.
This undoubtedly indicated that Qing Tan's Fiend Body was about to fully manifest.
If she couldn't condense a Yin Core, Qing Tan's life might not be saved.
Qing Tan also felt her physique deteriorating, and she couldn't help but feel worried. This forced Lin Yun to spend time comforting her fragile heart.
Even at night, Lin Yun had to stay with her. Qing Tan was incredibly clingy!
Naturally, Lin Yun could only indulge her. He couldn't bear to refuse such a cute little loli.
That day, Xuan Su came knocking again.
Besides their collaboration on alchemy, Lin Yun had asked Xuan Su to help him collect spiritual herbs. Therefore, she usually came when she had found something.
"Little Brother Lin Yun, guess what treasure I brought you?"
Xuan Su said mysteriously.
"Sister is my treasure!"
Lin Yun chuckled and led Xuan Su into the house.
"Hmph, smooth-talker, you only know how to make your sister happy," Xuan Su said coquettishly, clearly pleased.
"As long as Sister is happy, let alone being a smooth-talker, I'd even go through fire and water for you."
Lin Yun casually closed the door and sized up the curvaceous Xuan Su.
The conservative and dignified ancient-style cheongsam was somehow worn by her with a sense of sexiness and charm.
Her prominent figure no longer allowed her to be low-key!
"You only know how to tease your sister. Let's see if you can back up your words."
Xuan Su lifted Lin Yun's chin, leaned her face close to him, and exhaled like orchids.
Is she serious...? Lin Yun reached out and pulled Xuan Su into his arms, then sat down on a chair with her.
"Ah...!"
Xuan Su was startled, her body losing some control. She quickly said, "Stop messing around, let me show you the treasure first."
Saying that, Xuan Su took out a jade box from her Cosmos Sack.
She placed the jade box on the table and slowly opened it. Inside the jade box lay a dark red fruit the size of a fist, as round as a pearl. On the fruit's smooth surface, there were faint natural patterns, permeating with a hint of strangeness.
As soon as this dark red fruit appeared, the entire room was filled with a faint fragrance.
"Sixth Grade spiritual herb, Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit."
"How about that! Hmph hmph, the price of this Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit is six thousand Yang Yuan Stones, ten times the price of an ordinary Fifth Grade spiritual herb. I spent a lot of effort to buy it."
Xuan Su said with a smile, seeking credit.
Sixth Grade spiritual herbs were too difficult to find. Besides the few stalks obtained from the treasure vaults of the Blood Wolf Gang and Black Python Mountain before, he hadn't encountered any since. Basically, such rare spiritual herbs rarely appeared on the market.
The Demon Blood Vermillion Fruit should be more suitable for Tiger Heroine and the others. Combined with other spiritual herbs, it could be refined into a Seventh Grade elixir, further increasing their strength.
"Good stuff, but it's still not as fragrant as Sister Su!"
Lin Yun held Xuan Su, who was sitting on his lap, feeling quite unrestrained.
Ever since he saw Xuan Su secretly comforting herself, Lin Yun had become a bit bolder when interacting with Xuan Su in private.
Xuan Su was shy at first, but gradually became less resistant.
However, she seemed to still have some reservations in her heart. She only went so far with Lin Yun and wasn't ready to fully open up.
Although Lin Yun was eager, he wasn't in a hurry. Xuan Su had been single for so many years, so it wouldn't be easy for her to accept someone else. It required a gradual approach, step by step.
Anyway, he had already gotten his hands on her; it was only a matter of time before things progressed further.
Xuan Su pushed Lin Yun's hand away, sat on the side, and said seriously, "Oh, right, I have some news for you."
"I've found a little clue about the extremely Yin and extremely cold spiritual herbs you asked me to inquire about."
"Recently, there's been news circulating in Heavenly Capital Prefecture that an ancient tomb has appeared in the Heavenly Flame Mountain Range."
"That ancient tomb is quite old. It is said to have been left behind by a strong practitioner who had stepped into the Nirvana Realm."
"A Nirvana Realm expert's tomb!" Lin Yun pretended to be surprised and echoed.
"Hard to imagine, right? I was also very surprised that a place like the Heavenly Flame Mountain Range would have the tomb of such a powerful expert," Xuan Su said with a smile.
The Nirvana Realm was already the ceiling in the Great Yan Dynasty. Most people had only heard of such experts and had never seen one in reality.
"Our Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild has inquired through many channels, and this matter should be true. Experts from the entire Heavenly Capital Prefecture have come upon hearing the news. Even the four great clans have sent people. Recently, there have been many more people in Flame City."
"In the ancient tomb, there is an extremely Yin spiritual medicine, the Extreme Yin Dragon Saliva."
"This news is too important."
Lin Yun slapped Xuan Su's thigh and stood up excitedly.
"The inheritance of a Nirvana Realm expert is a rare opportunity in the entire Great Yan Dynasty. I'm afraid many people will be attracted. The struggle for this ancient tomb will inevitably be full of danger. Little brother Lin Yun, if you go, you must be careful."
Xuan Su reminded him.
"Sister Su, don't worry. I haven't had a moonlit chat with you yet, so how could I bear to die? I will definitely be prepared this time," Lin Yun teased again.
Xuan Su also knew that Lin Yun had already broken through to the Shapeshifting Realm. This level of strength was quite formidable even among the younger generation of the four great clans.
She was also concerned and didn't want this little brother who had entered her heart to get hurt.
After Xuan Su left, Lin Yun immediately found Lin Dong.
He told him the news about the ancient tomb.
"A Nirvana Realm expert's tomb!" Lin Dong's eyes lit up. If he could obtain such an opportunity, it could save him several years of effort.
Little Marten was also very interested when he heard this and immediately said, "If a Nirvana Realm expert passes away, their lifelong Origin Power will not easily dissipate. Instead, it will gradually condense over time. And this thing is the essence of a Nirvana Realm expert's life, called the Nirvana Heart."
"If an ordinary person can obtain a Nirvana Heart, as long as their talent is not too low, they will have the potential to break through to the Creation Realm. If they are already exceptionally talented, it's not impossible that they could completely absorb that essence and reach the Nirvana Realm."
He said this specifically to stir up their desire to explore.
Such tombs usually contained many treasures, and there might be energy within to help him repair his Demon Spirit.
Lin Yun saw through Little Marten's thoughts at a glance and smiled at the corner of his mouth.
"We will definitely go to the ancient tomb, but before we go, we need to gather information and improve the strength of our pets. Little Marten, you also need to pay attention. Don't just guide Little Purple. Help Tiger Heroine and the others too. If you keep being so biased, I won't let you see Little Purple alone."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not, I didn't, what bias? Lord Marten would fancy a dirt marten? I'm listening to you and guiding them in cultivation. As fellow martens, I naturally know more about the marten race. Isn't it normal to guide Little Purple a little more?"
"Right, Lin Dong?"
"Moreover, among your pets, only Little Purple is the smartest. The others are simply impossible to communicate with."
"You can't use this as an excuse. If you keep doing this, Lord Marten won't teach."
"And that Little Purple, if I don't see her, I don't see her. What kind of marten hasn't Lord Marten seen? This can threaten Lord Marten? Hmph, there were at least eight thousand martens chasing Lord Marten back then, if not ten thousand!"
Little Marten was clearly anxious. He looked at Lin Yun for a while, then at Lin Dong, and even pawed at Lin Dong to make him speak and agree with his point of view.
Lin Yun and Lin Dong exchanged glances, and smiles couldn't help but appear on their faces.
Little Marten looked like a child caught with his tail in the air! When it came to playing mind games with humans, he was still too green.
