Incomplete Qi Men Seal!

Everyone knew that even an incomplete martial arts manual like this could reach the level of a Third-grade Martial Art, so one could imagine how formidable the complete version must be.

With the martial art deduction ability of the Ancestral Stone's Mental Space, this so-called incomplete Qi Men Seal was no problem at all for Lin Chen.

"Ah Chen, are you planning to cultivate this Qi Men Seal?"

Lin Xia noticed Lin Chen's actions and reminded him, "Although this Qi Men Seal is also a Third-grade Martial Art, it's incomplete. Grandpa and my father both cultivated it before, but its power can't compare to the other Third-grade Martial Arts at all. If you're interested, you can just get a taste of it, but you shouldn't spend too much time cultivating it."

When it came to understanding the Martial Arts Pavilion, Lin Xia, the big sister figure among the Lin Family's younger generation, was naturally the most knowledgeable.

Lin Xia added, "The other ten Third-grade Martial Arts can all be cultivated. No matter how you put it, the Qi Men Seal's power still can't compare to a complete Third-grade Martial Art."

"I see. Thanks for the reminder, Sister Xia."

Lin Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Anyway, we haven't reached the Earthly Yuan Stage yet. Taking it back just to have a look shouldn't be a problem. I think this Third-grade Martial Art, Nine Thunder Sword, suits me better."

He put away the two Third-grade Martial Arts, Qi Men Seal and Nine Thunder Sword, then gave Lin Dong a look.

He understood instantly.

Lin Dong's eyes shifted, and he asked, "Cousin Lin Xia, there are still nine Third-grade Martial Arts here. Do you need to cultivate any this time?"

Lin Xia paused, then put her hands on her hips and answered helplessly, "I'd like to cultivate a Third-grade Martial Art too, but unfortunately, I'm only at Body Tempering Stage Six right now. A Second-grade Martial Art is already enough for me. If I went and cultivated a Third-grade Martial Art as well, I imagine it would affect my cultivation speed. So, I'm not considering Third-grade Martial Arts for the time being."

According to her father, Third-grade Martial Arts were more suitable after reaching the Earthly Yuan Stage.

Before that, aside from those peerless geniuses who could comprehend something in an instant, it would more or less affect one's cultivation.

"Then can I take all these Third-grade Martial Arts back to have a look?"

Lin Dong tried his best to put on an honest, simple smile and added, "If I look at them in advance, maybe I won't have to make another trip to the Martial Arts Pavilion later and can focus on cultivation instead."

How could Lin Xia possibly believe that?

"Recently, no one will be cultivating Third-grade Martial Arts anyway."

She looked Lin Dong up and down, her pretty brows furrowing slightly as she reminded him:

"But I advise you not to put your energy into Third-grade Martial Arts at such a critical point.

A fully mastered Second-grade Martial Art is stronger than a half-baked Third-grade Martial Art no matter what.

You're already at Body Tempering Stage Seven too. You should cultivate more and prepare for the Qingyang Town Hunting Event.

The three of us are, in a sense, the pillars of the Lin Family. At that Hunting Event, we'll be representing the Lin Family. Over the years, those bastards from the Lei Family and Xie Family have bullied our Lin Family plenty. We have to get revenge."

When she said this, she thought of some unpleasant things, and anger surfaced on her face as well.

As the big sister, she always had to stand up for her younger male and female cousins.

Only, the pressure was huge.

Given the foundations of the Lei Family and the Xie Family, the current Lin Family more or less could not contend with them.

Naturally, even when Lin Xia stepped forward in those matters, she could not gain much advantage. It was often rather stifling, and she could only warn everyone to avoid falling into the other side's traps as much as possible.

All the various factions were well aware of these things.

One could even say they allowed them to happen deliberately.

"Cousin Lin Xia, don't worry. At this Qingyang Town Hunting Event, we'll definitely make them understand that our Lin Family isn't easy to bully!"

When Lin Dong heard this, his heart stirred slightly. He remembered things he had heard before: without exception, Lin Family disciples had been bullied by the combined efforts of other factions, beaten black and blue, and still failed to get any justice. The other side would simply toss out a casual line about it being nothing more than children playing around, not worth mentioning.

Anyone could talk tough.

If they really wanted to win back their pride, they would have to do it with real fists and blades!

"Only, how strong are the younger generation of the Lei Family and the Xie Family?"

"That Lei Li from the Lei Family had already reached Body Tempering Stage Eight four months ago. Now, he's probably already reached the ninth level. If his cultivation resources are good enough, he might even have a chance to break through to the Earthly Yuan Stage!"

Lin Xia was quite clear on this information and continued:

"As for the Xie Family, there's that stinking bitch Xie Yingying at Body Tempering Stage Eight!"

At the mention of that woman, Lin Xia was instantly furious.

She had suffered losses in front of her before.

The Lei Family and Xie Family had intermarried for generations, and those two were already engaged.

How could dealing with them possibly be easy?

Lin Dong scratched his head and said, "Then we still have to keep cultivating before we can gain any advantage against them at the Hunting Event."

"Exactly. That's why I reminded you not to split your energy into cultivating Third-grade Martial Arts before reaching the Earthly Yuan Stage. Accumulating Yuan Power is the proper path!"

At this point, Lin Xia saw Lin Dong's unmoved expression and knew it had gone in one ear and out the other. She could only add helplessly:

"Forget it. As long as Ah Chen doesn't do that, then our Lin Family will at least have the most basic guarantee at the Hunting Event."

In Lin Xia's eyes, Lin Chen, who could easily defeat Lin Hong at Body Tempering Stage Seven, was at least at Body Tempering Stage Eight.

Among the Lin Family's younger generation, he was absolutely the strongest.

He could be called the hope of the Lin Family.

"Cousin Lin Xia is right. I'll remember it."

Lin Dong wiped the fine sweat from his forehead. He finally understood why Lin Chen had been signaling him with his eyes earlier.

So he had been certain Lin Xia would stop them!

"And you also need to watch out for Wu Yun from Mad Saber Martial Hall. His strength can't be underestimated either. It's just that, in the bigger picture, he'll stand on the same side as our Lin Family. After all, the marriage alliance between the Lei Family and the Xie Family is putting a lot of pressure on everyone!"

Lin Xia did not forget to remind them about this. If they beat up an ally first, they would be the ones to suffer later.

She believed that with Lin Chen and Lin Dong's cultivation speed, they would catch up to Wu Yun sooner or later.

Because of that, to avoid any ridiculous misunderstandings, it was still necessary to warn them in advance.

"Got it."

Lin Dong nodded and committed it to memory.

Then he threw Lin Chen a look that said it was settled.

Including the Qi Men Seal, they had eleven Third-grade Martial Arts. Once they got back, there would be plenty for them to practice!

After that, Lin Xia also found several suitable lower Second-grade Martial Arts for herself.

As for those lower Third-grade Martial Arts, she still did not dare touch them for the time being. She knew her own limits.

In the room.

"Brother Chen, are we really going to practice this many Third-grade Martial Arts?"

It had to be said that even though Lin Dong knew the Ancestral Stone could help him master martial arts more quickly, facing so many Third-grade Martial Arts still made him feel a little daunted.

When he had cultivated the lower First-grade Martial Art Tong Bei Fist, even with the help of the Ancestral Stone, it had still taken him quite some time—let alone these Third-grade Martial Arts.

Lin Dong felt it would be best to first find one among these Third-grade Martial Arts that suited him, one that could allow him not to worry about cultivating the others for a short time.

That way, with his limited energy, he could do more things.

"No!"

In response to that question, Lin Chen shook his head and explained, "Although the Stone Talisman can help you master martial arts as quickly as possible, in the end, it still tests your own comprehension and requires extra energy. What's best for you right now is to cultivate one Third-grade Martial Art, and raise your cultivation to the Earthly Yuan Stage."

That was exactly what Lin Dong had been thinking, so he very much agreed. However, as he looked at these Third-grade Martial Arts, he felt somewhat troubled and asked, "Brother Chen, which one do you think suits me? I feel like any of them could work."

After all, he was not like Lin Chen, who had already chosen his weapon.

Lin Chen raised the pale-black martial arts manual in his hand and smiled as he asked in return, "How about this incomplete Qi Men Seal, little brother? Do you dare cultivate it?"
