The next morning, just after dawn, Lin Changqiang dragged a reluctant Lin Dong to Lin Zhentian and demonstrated their Earth Yuan Realm cultivation. Lin Zhentian stared at them in astonishment, his mouth trembling. It was
n't that Lin Changqiang particularly enjoyed showing off, but he'd finally been able to practice the technique, and he didn't want to rely on the minimum living allowance anymore. The sooner he got it, the sooner he could practice it, wouldn't that be a good idea?
Although it's unclear why, in the original novel, Lin Dong didn't mention his breakthrough to the Earth Yuan Realm to anyone, nor did he immediately ask for the Qing Yuan Gong, it was likely a pretense, so Lin Changqiang naturally sold Lin Dong out without hesitation.
Even as the two hurried out of the backyard, carrying an ancient pornographic book, Lin Zhentian continued to laugh cheerfully, a chilling sight.
A misty shroud in the Lin family's backyard welcomed his old friend once again.
In a clearing amidst the dense forest, Lin Changqiang flung his hand with a flourish, casually tossing the Qing Yuan Gong into Lin Dong's arms. "Ladies first, Lin Dong, you take a look first. Don't be polite."
To his surprise, Lin Dong didn't react at all this time. He simply flipped through the Qing Yuan Gong, seemingly absorbed in it with a serious demeanor that actually made Lin Changqiang feel uneasy.
A technique, in essence, is a way to channel and refine Yuan Qi. For example, the Lin family's "Qing Yuan Gong" can open four meridians. Of course, with the refinement of Lin Dong's ancestral stone, this number has increased to seven.
These seven meridians extend directly to the skin. During practice, simply activating the technique allows one to absorb Yuan Qi directly through these seven meridians, significantly faster than simply absorbing it through the nose.
It's said that most top-tier secret manuals can open dozens of meridians. Some even more remarkable ones can directly generate a continuous flow of Qi within the body through a unique method. At that time, even if you're not in a state of cultivation, those cyclones will continuously draw energy from the heavens and earth, using it to temper your body and replenish your Dantian.
"Dong, congratulations to the host for achieving this achievement: First exposure to the Yuanli cultivation technique, rewarded with two lucky draw opportunities."
Looking at the seven lucky draw opportunities displayed in the message, Lin Changqiang hesitated, wondering whether to be a stifler like he used to be in games, or to be the type who draws whenever he gets a chance.
"System, do you have any promotions where you can draw ten times in a row to get a Demon Guan Yu, or a guaranteed epic item for ten consecutive draws?"
"Dong, back to the host, there's no difference between a single draw and a ten-fold draw."
"Tsk, fine, you don't even give me a reason to be a stifler." Lin Changqiang took a deep breath and rubbed his face. "System, use all lucky draw opportunities!"
Thinking about it, every breakthrough in a major realm grants several lucky draw opportunities, and there are also various quest and achievement rewards. Lucky draw opportunities aren't that hard to come by. Plus, after the hunt is over, the Lei family is about to cause trouble again, so it's best to strengthen yourself first.
"Dong, seven lucky draws were successfully used. Congratulations to the host for receiving:
one trumpet,
two intimate roses,
two double experience cards,
one double gold card, and
Nuwa's third skill—Command: Warp."
"Command: Warp: Consume energy to condense a circular magic circle with a diameter of five meters beneath your feet. After five seconds, any person or object designated by the host within the magic circle will be teleported to the designated location.
If the location is out of sight, someone within the magic circle must have been there. If it is within sight, there are no restrictions."
Lin Changqiang's eyes lit up. In that moment, he felt that the world was within his reach.
"Lin Dong, if you get into any trouble outside, just come back to me. I'll keep you safe!" Lin Changqiang cheerfully patted Lin Dong's shoulder, interrupting his thoughts.
"Who are you calling me brother? Don't forget, I'm still older than you." Lin Dong reluctantly pushed Lin Changqiang's hand away and continued to study his technique.
"There's no hierarchy in martial arts; the one who achieves the most is the elder brother." Lin Changqiang nonchalantly lay down on the lawn. However, as soon as he lay down, he thought of the costume in his backpack. He immediately called out silently in his heart, "System, when Lin Dong absorbs the Yin Sha Qi, can I gain an extra 30%?"

"Dong, replying to the host, no, but when Lin Dong absorbs the Yin Sha Qi, he will gain Earth Realm experience. The host can obtain 30% of this experience."
"That's not bad." Lin Changqiang's eyes lit up, and he immediately climbed to his feet with a look of joy. He dragged Lin Dong and ran down the mountain. Although he could actually retrieve the costume directly from the system right now, it was too troublesome to explain. "Lin Dong, I have something good in my room. I'll take you to see it!"
"Good news? Is it a new martial art?" Lin Dong frowned slightly.
"What new martial art? It's more exciting than martial arts! It can also make you stronger~" Lin Changqiang smiled maliciously. He knew that just hearing about the possibility of becoming stronger would definitely interest Lin Dong.
As expected, Lin Dong's eyes lit up as soon as he finished speaking: "Become stronger?"
"Yes, come on, you'll know when you see it!"
"Wait, Changqiang, Qingyuan Gong!"
"Take it, take it, come on."
...
Time flies like an arrow, and the years pass like a shuttle ~ Who would have thought that in just a few minutes, just a few minutes passed, and Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong also arrived at Lin Changqiang's home?
"Dangdangdangdang, dang~dang~dang——" Lin Changqiang imitated the sound effect of Doraemon taking out props, reached under the bed, and pretended to take out the ghost captain costume from underneath, and gave it a name that was in line with the style of the Tianxuan Continent, "Yinsha Lizhuang!"
I don't know if it's an illusion, Lin Changqiang sometimes feels that his mentality has become younger along with his body.
"To be honest, I actually bought this Yin Sha ceremonial suit from a clueless clothing store owner. It can continuously condense ninth-grade Yin Sha Qi, aiding those in the Earth Origin Realm in their cultivation. Before, we were both only at the Tempering Body Realm, so I didn't rush to tell you."
Lin Changqiang nodded, then seriously coaxed Lin Dong, "Now that we've finally reached the Earth Origin Realm, since you're my younger brother, I'll mercifully allow you to cultivate with me."
"Who asked you to be merciful?" Lin Dong's gratitude vanished before it could even rise, looking at Lin Changqiang's kind eyes.
"Don't even come up with a good excuse. This treasure is obviously quite extraordinary, so how could the clothing store owner not see that?"
Lin Dong shook his head helplessly, but didn't say anything.
"Chang Qiang shared this treasure with me without any hesitation. Even if he really has some secrets, so what? Everyone has their own secrets. Haven't I never told anyone about my stone talisman?"
"Dong, it's detected that Lin Dong's favorability towards the host has increased to seventy."
Lin Chang Qiang blinked and finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sharing the Ghost Captain with Lin Dong was not a whim, but a well-thought-out decision.
Unlike the selfish protagonists in a few works, Lin Dong has always been a person who does not offend others, and he is extremely kind and responsible to his own people. In the original work, he would even risk his life to save a partner he had just met not long ago, let alone himself.
Of course, the most important and reassuring point is that he can see the favorability of others! Then, by observing the changes in the favorability, he can tell whether the other party has any unfavorable thoughts towards him.
Obviously, this time, he made the right bet.
