Chapter 70: Great Perfection! News of the Ancient Tomb!
As Lin Fan's Yuan Dan spun within his dantian, the star patterns on its surface rapidly expanded.
Until finally, the nine faint star lines completely covered the entire Yuan Dan—only then did the spinning stop.
In that moment, Lin Fan felt his power surge nearly tenfold!
A terrifying aura erupted from his body and spread in all directions!
Yuan Dan Great Perfection!
"In just about two months, another breakthrough… Not bad."
Feeling the advancement clearly, Lin Fan slowly withdrew his power, a smile appearing on his face. He was very satisfied with his rate of improvement.
After completing the breakthrough, Lin Fan decided to pause his cultivation.
After more than a month of closed-door training, it was time for a break.
He stepped out of his room and strolled leisurely around the Lin family estate.
Before he knew it, he had wandered into the Lin family's training grounds.
There, many young Lin clan disciples were diligently training. The moment they saw Lin Fan, their faces lit up with admiration and reverence.
These days, Lin Fan's prestige within the family even surpassed Lin Zhentian.
He had become the idol of every junior member of the clan.
Watching the younger generation train, Lin Fan couldn't help but recall his early days in Qingyang Town, when he too started from the Body Refining Realm. A nostalgic look crossed his face.
Moved by the moment, he casually gave some pointers to the juniors—earning their endless gratitude.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, two blazing red streaks shot across the training field.
In the blink of an eye, the two fiery figures stopped in front of Lin Fan—it was none other than Huo'er and Xiao Yan, the two Fire Python Tigers.
Seated atop Huo'er's back was the ever-energetic Qingtan.
Lin Fan took a moment to sense the tigers' cultivation and smiled faintly.
After their deep slumber, both had directly broken through from the Small Yuan Dan Realm to Yuan Dan Great Perfection!
"Brother Lin Fan, you actually came out?!"
Qingtan hopped off Huo'er and ran up with a beaming smile.
Lin Fan chuckled. "After such a long cultivation session, I had to get some fresh air."
Qingtan's eyes sparkled. "Wait—you broke through again, didn't you?"
Lin Fan smiled lightly. "A small breakthrough."
"Congratulations, Brother Lin Fan! So… shouldn't we go out to celebrate?"
She tilted her head and smiled mischievously.
"You little troublemaker." Lin Fan flicked her forehead with a grin. "Alright, I'll come with you."
[Ding! You touched Qingtan. You have obtained: Three Yin-Yang Pills.
Note: For Yuan Dan Realm cultivators. Significantly boosts internal yin-yang energy.]
Yin-Yang Pills again?
Lin Fan felt a slight wave of disappointment. At his current level, these pills were no longer particularly helpful.
Still, he didn't mind. If he couldn't use them, he could always give them to Lin Xiao or Lin Dong.
"Heehee, you're the best, Brother Lin Fan!" Qingtan giggled, linking her arm with his. "Let's bring Huo'er and Xiao Yan too!"
"Sure," Lin Fan nodded. He had no reason to object.
With two Yuan Dan Great Perfection-level beasts by their side, they could basically walk Yan City unopposed.
At the gate of the Lin estate, they bumped into Lin Dong, who was also heading out.
So they brought him along.
Lin Fan and Qingtan rode Huo'er, while Lin Dong mounted Xiao Yan. The three of them, along with two majestic spirit beasts, became a striking scene in the streets of Yan City.
"There are quite a few unfamiliar strong auras in Yan City lately. I wonder what's going on."
As they strolled, Lin Dong noticed the unusual mix of people on the streets and spoke in surprise.
Lin Fan's eyes narrowed thoughtfully. "Near Yan City is the Tianyan Mountain Range. It's said to house the tomb of a Nirvana-stage expert. Maybe… it's about to open."
"The tomb of a Nirvana expert?" Lin Dong was visibly shaken.
Lin Fan smiled. "Nothing's happened yet. No point worrying. Let's enjoy our outing for now."
"Mm," Lin Dong nodded and set his thoughts aside to enjoy the day with the others.
"By the way," Lin Dong said after a while, "I asked Steward Xuan Su to help me keep an eye out for sixth-grade spirit herbs. Let's stop by the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber and see if any have arrived."
Lin Fan nodded. "Sure, let's take a look."
With that, the three of them and their two spirit beasts headed toward the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber.
"Brother Lin Fan, Brother Lin Dong—what a surprise! The two busiest people in Yan City finally came to visit their big sister!"
Xuan Su greeted them personally with a playful smile.
Lin Fan laughed. "The Lin family is still too weak. Lin Dong and I don't dare relax—we have to keep training. That's why we don't come by often."
Xuan Su rolled her eyes, half-joking. "Who in Yan City still dares say the Lin family is weak?"
Lin Fan smiled without denying it.
At that moment, Lin Dong scratched his head and asked, "Sister Su, any news on the sixth-grade spirit herbs I asked about?"
Xuan Su nodded. "You came at just the right time. One Demonic Blood Vermilion Fruit just arrived."
"Really? That's great news!" Lin Dong beamed.
Xuan Su smiled. "It was actually supposed to be the highlight of our next auction."
"But since it's for you, I negotiated directly with the seller and bought it in advance. It wasn't cheap—don't faint when you see the price."
"Thank you, Sister Su. The price doesn't matter," Lin Dong said sincerely, then paid and took the fruit without hesitation.
After chatting a bit more, the group prepared to leave.
Just then, Xuan Su smiled mysteriously. "I have some information regarding a seventh-grade spirit herb. Interested?"
"It also involves the Four Great Clans of the Great Yan Dynasty—and even a Nirvana Realm expert."
Lin Fan's heart stirred slightly. He quickly recalled the upcoming arc involving the ancient tomb exploration.
Feigning casual interest, he replied, "We'd love to hear more, Sister Su."
Xuan Su's lips curled in a knowing smile. "You know about the Tianyan Mountains, yes? It borders Yan City and several major cities."
Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged glances and nodded. "We do. Did something happen there?"
Xuan Su said, "A Nirvana-stage expert's tomb was discovered deep within the Tianyan Mountains."
Lin Dong's eyes twitched. He couldn't help but glance at Lin Fan, remembering what he said earlier.
Lin Fan, however, remained calm. "No wonder so many unfamiliar experts have appeared. Things are about to get lively."
Xuan Su nodded. "Exactly. Not only are experts from Tiandu Province arriving, but even the Four Great Clans of the Great Yan Dynasty have sent people!"
Lin Dong asked, "Is the seventh-grade herb inside that tomb? If so, the competition must be intense."
"Heh, with all the chaos, who knows—maybe you can fish in troubled waters." Xuan Su chuckled.
Lin Fan cupped his fists with a smile. "Thanks for the information, Sister Su. We'll think it over carefully once we get back."
After a few more words, the trio took their leave.
They strolled for a while longer before returning to the Lin estate.
Lin Fan, acting casually, brushed against Lin Dong and Xiao Yan.
The next moment, the familiar system chime rang out once again in his mind.
