Lin Dong's father was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties or forties. He was a little thin, and there was a hint of fierceness between his brows. However, he was injured, and his face was slightly pale, which mostly concealed the fierceness, making him look like a sickly person who was about to he was young, he was also a little genius who suppressed the entire young generation of Qingyang Town. Later, he went to the inner clan to participate in the competition with high spirits, but met the inner clan genius Lin Langtian, who defeated him with one move and destroyed all the meridians in his body...
Standing next to him was a beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed simply, giving people a gentle and soft feeling. Next to him was a girl of about twelve or thirteen, with a very delicate little face and big twinkling eyes, looking extremely cute.
This is Lin Dong’s simple little family. He has healthy parents and a younger sister. Although the conditions are a bit poor, he has everything he needs.
"Father, that's it. Brother Yao Yan hopes to stay in our house for a while. In return, he will teach me a martial art!" Lin Dong did not hide anything from his father. Although he longed to learn a martial art, he was not so confused as to distinguish the important from the unimportant. He was still a little wary of Yao Yan, who came from an unknown background.
However, he was quite attracted by the powerful martial arts. If he could get it at such a tiny price, he felt it was worth it!
Lin Dong's father, Lin Xiao, is not an ordinary person. He was a genius when he was young and had seen the outside world. Naturally, he could see that Yao Yan had an extraordinary temperament. It was impossible for the other party to be an ordinary person. After hearing Lin Dong's description, he became more clear about this and hesitated for a moment.
"I am Lin Xiao from the Lin family. May I know where this friend is from?" Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then asked Yao Yan with a fist salute, wanting to test Yao Yan's background.
"Tianyan Dynasty." Yao Yan opened his mouth to deceive.
Of course, this cannot be considered a lie, because after he came to this world, his starting point was the Tianyan Dynasty. The emperor of the Tianyan Dynasty almost recognized him as his ancestor. In a sense, he can be considered half a member of the Tianyan Dynasty.
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat. He had been to the inner clan before, so he naturally knew some things. The so-called Great Yan Dynasty was just a low-level dynasty, above which there were intermediate, high-level and even super dynasties. When he was young and energetic, he had also read the information about those super dynasties, among which there was a Tianyan Dynasty, whose country was thousands of times stronger than the Great Yan Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, if the Tianyan Dynasty wanted to crush the Dayan Dynasty, it only needed to say a word, or even without taking any action itself, and countless people would help it and destroy the entire Dayan Dynasty.
Only by going out and seeing the world can you know how real this world is and how hierarchical it is.
People like Yao Yan who come from a super dynasty are obviously not people the Lin family can afford to offend.
"Young Master, you can stay as long as you want." Lin Xiao no longer hesitated at this moment. He looked at his wife beside him and said seriously, "Liu Yan, clean up Qingtan's room and let Young Master move in. During this period of time, you have to live with your mother. Lin Dong and I will live in the same room."
It’s not that there are no rooms in the house, but Lin Qingtan’s room is the most complete. Because of his physical condition, the house has been carefully renovated to make people live more comfortably.
Naturally, Lin Qingtan would not have any objection. She had been sensible since she was young and knew that it was just a deal between her eldest brother and the other party. If just giving up a room could help her eldest brother, she would not mind losing the room forever.
Although he comforted himself in this way, his eyes were still a little dim and aggrieved, as if something he loved had been robbed.
After all, it's the nature of a little girl.
This scene reminded Yao Yan of some memories from his previous life. Every time there were guests at home, he had to sleep on the floor. He looked at Lin Qingtan's aggrieved eyes and chuckled, "Does this little girl have cold energy erupting from her body every once in a while, causing severe pain all over her body?"
“Brother Yaoyan knows the reason?!” As soon as the words fell, Lin Dong on the side couldn’t wait to ask.
“Have you forgotten that I’m a traveling alchemist?” Upon hearing this, Yao Yan couldn’t help but glance at Lin Dong. Now it seemed that this kid didn’t take his words seriously at all. What he cared about most was the Baji Collapse.
“Is there any way to cure it? If Brother Yaoyan can cure Lin Qingtan’s illness, I can give up that martial art!” Lin Dong said without thinking after hearing this. In his mind, family is above everything else.
"Sir, do you have any solution?" Lin Xiao and Liu Yan also became nervous. How could they not know about their daughter's illness? As she got older, the outbreaks of cold and yin energy became more and more frequent. If this continued, they were really worried that Lin Qingtan would not be able to hold on.
Several times they saw Lin Qingtan lying alone on the bed, enduring severe pain in his body. That scene broke their hearts, but unfortunately there was nothing they could do.
Lin Qingtan was also biting her lips at this moment, looking at the handsome older brother in front of her with expectation and hesitation. She hoped that her body could be cured, but she also didn't want her older brother to lose this opportunity to learn martial arts because of her.
"This is not a disease, but her special physique. She possesses a top-notch Yin Sha physique, the body of a demon. Now the outbreak of Yin energy is just the process of her physique gradually opening up... If she embarks on the path of cultivation, she will surely make rapid progress. In the future, the Yuan Dan she condenses will no longer be an ordinary Yuan Dan, but an extremely special Demon Yin Dan. The power of this Yin Dan is far greater than that of an ordinary Yuan Dan." Yao Yan looked at Lin Qingtan and said slowly.
If he remembered correctly, this little girl was not from Tianxuan Continent, but from the Great Thousand World... As for more information, the original book did not reveal it.
"What?!" Lin Xiao and Lin Dong were both stunned, and then looked at Lin Qingtan in disbelief.
Lin Qingtan was a little scared when faced with such a look, and could not help but hide behind her mother's back, tilting her little head and looking at the shocked eyes of the father and son.
"But before entering the Yuandan realm, there are dangers. It is easy to be killed by the backlash of the cold and yin energy. This is also the reason why this physique is extremely rare... But since we have met, it is fate." Yao Yan looked at the nervous Lin Qingtan, snapped his fingers, and a pale white flame on his fingertips turned into a stream of light and sank into Lin Qingtan's brows.
"Mom, I'm a little sleepy~" Lin Qingtan grabbed Liu Yan's clothes, then fell asleep in her arms.
Yao Yan continued, "The flame I injected into her body will absorb the excess coldness in her body. When she wakes up, she will be able to practice like a normal person. The coldness stored in the flame will also be integrated into her body when she enters the Yuan Dan realm, helping her to make further progress."
"Thank you, sir!" Lin Xiao bowed deeply to Yao Yan with a somewhat excited voice.
Lin Dong was stunned for a moment, then followed suit and gave Yao Yan a great salute. He was still hovering over Yao Yan's hand, condensing flames out of thin air. What kind of strength did this Brother Yao Yan have? How could he feel hundreds of times stronger than Lin Langtian?
"No need to be so polite. I will need to stay in your house for a while. I apologize for disturbing you." Yao Yan raised his hand and said softly.
"Young master, please feel free to stay here. If you have any requests, just tell me. I'll do it for you!" Lin Xiao patted his chest generously. He seemed to have recovered a lot of his energy. God knows how much pain he was in. Didn't he know about his daughter's situation?
I even saw my daughter several times in agony on the bed, gritting her teeth and not letting out a cry of pain...
But what can his useless father do? Now his meridians are broken, he has wasted a lot of the Lin family's natural resources and treasures, and went to the inner clan with the hope of the entire family, but was defeated by Lin Langtian. How can he have the face to beg the Lin family for more? "Then buy me a drink~" Yao Yan said casually.
"Okay!" Lin Xiao was stunned, then responded loudly.
Lin Dong looked at his father at this moment, as if he saw that upright man again, and immediately said sensibly: "I'll get some wine for father and Brother Yao Yan!"
After saying that, he ran towards the door.
Liu Yan settled Lin Qingtan down and went to prepare wine and food. He even took out all the best things in the house to entertain Yao Yan, his benefactor.
With Yao Yan's intentional cooperation, the dinner was very lively with constant laughter. It was not until Lin Xiao was completely drunk that the dinner ended. He also went into Lin Qingtan's house to rest. The house was tidy and clean by Lin Dong's mother. There was a flower arrangement on the dressing table, which should be Lin Qingtan's masterpiece.
Naturally, he had no interest in studying the girl's gadgets. He sat cross-legged in the void, his soul power spreading out, and began to search for the ancestral stone.
After a while, he found it in a stone cave on a small hill... Although the magical object was restrained and its aura was not obvious, he knew the plot of the original novel and obviously did not need that much trouble. He just needed to lock it based on the location.
"Come~" Yao Yan hooked his fingers slightly, and the void suddenly twisted. The next moment, a thumb-sized stone fell into his palm, covered with obscure runes, and these runes contained various powers in his eyes.
"The ancestor of talismans back then should have been a master of spirit formations. These runes are just a revised version of spirit formations, more suitable for the power system of this world..." Yao Yan looked at the ancestral stone. Everything inside it was in his eyes. There was no secret at all, including the 'little mouse' that was still sleeping and the spirit of the weapon.
"Looks like I can go back to my old job~" Yao Yan chuckled and inexplicably thought of Yao Lao.
At this moment, his eyes flashed. In his perception, Lin Dong was standing outside his door, seemingly hesitating about something. But after a moment, he patted his face, his expression became firm, and he turned around and returned to his room.
"He has a good character~" Yao Yan felt all of this and felt inexplicably amused.
……
In the next few days, Lin Dong never asked Yao Yan about the Baji Collapse, and seemed to have forgotten about it. In his mind, this transaction had ended with Lin Qingtan's "illness", and he could not ask for too much.
"Brother Yaoyan, where did the little mouse in your arms come from?" Lin Qingtan blinked her big watery eyes and looked curiously at the purple mouse in Yaoyan's arms. The delicate and beautiful fur seemed even softer than the mink hunted by her father.
As she said that, she curiously wanted to poke the little mouse in Yao Yan's arms.
"Woo woo~" The purple little mouse's fur stood up, and its little eyes stared at Lin Qingtan angrily, as if it felt insulted. It was unbearable that the overlord of the demon world, the Sky Demon Marten, was called a mouse. If he had not been suppressed by someone at this moment, he really wanted to swallow this hateful human girl in one bite and let her understand what it meant to be the overlord of the demon world.
"How vicious!" Lin Qingtan was shocked and quickly withdrew his hand.
"It's just been raised, and it's not yet tamed. Don't touch it, or it might bite you." Yao Yan patted the little mouse's head gently to make it 'behave', and then explained to Lin Qingtan.
"Brother Yaoyan, where did you catch it?" Lin Qingtan asked curiously. She thought Yaoyan caught it in the back mountain, and she also wanted him to catch one of the same species to raise. This little mouse looked very beautiful.
The corner of the purple little mouse's mouth twitched, but he was suppressed by Yao Yan's big hand. He couldn't resist even if he wanted to. After all, this human was too strong, so strong that it was a little unbelievable. He suspected that the old guys in the tribe might not be his opponents. How did he fall into his hands? His life was so miserable.
"This little guy is not from your place. It is an invasive species with a fierce and brutal temperament. It is not suitable to be kept as a pet." Yao Yan looked at Lin Qingtan and said softly.
"Oh~" Lin Qingtan said a little disappointedly after hearing this.
"Let's go and see your brother." Yao Yan pinched the neck of the Heavenly Demon Marten and took Lin Qingtan to the back mountain, intending to teach Lin Dong to practice Baji Collapse. After spending some time together, he also discovered that Lin Dong's character was extremely stubborn and rigid. There was no hope for him to be flexible, but this character was indeed very suitable for practice.
Sometimes cultivation requires an indomitable will!
……
Back mountain.
Lin Dong was practicing the Tongbei Quan that his father taught him. There were gusts of wind from his fists, and occasionally there was even the sound of air being sucked out. He also punched over and over again, like a tireless machine, until the last bit of strength in his body was exhausted.
At this moment, he had completely forgotten himself and was immersed in the state of practicing boxing. He ignored everything around him. Even when Yao Yan and Lin Qingtan arrived, he did not react.
Lin Qingtan looked at Lin Dong practicing boxing and couldn't help but clench his fists.
“Okay, it’s time to stop. Blindly squeezing your body won’t necessarily make your strength improve too quickly. If you leave hidden injuries on your body, it will cost you a lot more to repair it in the future. It’s not worth it.” Yao Yan spoke up to stop Lin Dong from practicing boxing.
“Brother Yao Yan?!” Lin Dong’s body trembled when he heard the words, and then he stopped moving. He then saw the figures of Yao Yan and Lin Qingtan.
“Don’t talk. While your body is tired now, feel this force well. If you can master it perfectly, you can use it to temper your body and also use it to fight the enemy... The most important thing about Baji Beng is the dark force. The obvious force is easy to defend against, but the dark force is penetrating. Even someone stronger than you will be hit if he is not careful!” Yao Yan didn’t waste any words. He walked to Lin Dong’s side, slapped Lin Dong on the shoulder, and injected a soft dark force into his body.
The hidden energy instantly swept through Lin Dong's body, forcing all the blood accumulated from hidden injuries in his body out from his pores. Instantly, a feeling of comfort surged throughout Lin Dong's body.
"Keep practicing boxing, integrate this hidden power into it, if you can use it freely, you can perform Baji Beng~" Yao Yan's voice continued to come to my ears, casual and plain.
Lin Dong did not speak, but continued to punch obediently. He was never the kind of person who was good at talking. He would remember Yao Yan's help to him and his family until the day when he was able to repay her. (End of this chapter)
