Mental Power Soared, Ambushed!

Ding! You touched Lin Dong and obtained one Benefit Spirit Pill! Note: taking this pill can greatly increase Mental Power!

Good stuff! Hearing the contents of the system reward, Lin Fan could not help but feel delighted.

However, now was clearly not a suitable time to take out the pill and consume it.

Lin Fan chatted with Lin Dong for a few more moments, then took the Shattered Yuan Profound Steel out directly, found the best Forging Workshop in Qingyang Town, and had the entire piece of Shattered Yuan Profound Steel forged into seven hundred and thirty Hair-thin Needles!

After returning to Ironwood Estate, Lin Fan gave half of the Shattered Yuan Needles to Lin Dong, then returned to his own room, sat down cross-legged, took the Benefit Spirit Pill from the System Space, and placed it in his mouth.

Lin Fan had always firmly believed that good things were only valuable once they were turned into his own strength!

The pill melted as soon as it entered his mouth.

In an instant, Lin Fan felt a vast surge of special energy suddenly pour into his body, then rush swiftly into his mind.

The Mental Power in Lin Fan's mind was merging with that special energy on its own, but the efficiency was clearly somewhat slow.

The excess special energy filled his mind, and Lin Fan's head immediately throbbed with swelling pain.

Lin Fan did not dare delay. He immediately recited the God Movement Chapter formula silently, using its unique Mental Power cultivation method to refine the special energy that had rushed into his mind.

After Lin Fan cultivated his Mental Power according to the God Movement Chapter formula, that vast special energy was immediately refined by him and merged into his Mental Power.

Under the effect of that vast special energy, the Mental Power in Lin Fan's mind skyrocketed madly.

Lin Fan had originally already cultivated the God Movement Chapter to the second layer. Now, under the impact of that surging Mental Power, he very quickly completed cultivating the third layer as well.

Lin Fan focused his entire mind on circulating the God Movement Chapter, and the skyrocketing Mental Power in his mind was also effectively controlled. The feeling of swelling pain disappeared.

Suddenly, Lin Fan seemed to hear a "pop" ring out in his mind, as if something deep within his mind had been broken through.

Immediately afterward, the surging Mental Power began to rush rapidly toward the center of his mind! "The Niwan Palace has opened!"

Sensing this scene, Lin Fan was instantly delighted.

Lin Fan had long since memorized the contents of the God Movement Chapter until he knew them by heart.

According to its records, the most important step in cultivating Mental Power was to open the Niwan Palace within the mind! It was said that the head had nine palaces, corresponding above to the nine heavens, and the central palace was precisely the Niwan Palace! This place was the greenhouse that nurtured Mental Power, just like the Dantian stored Yuan Power.

After the surging Mental Power poured into the Niwan Palace, not only did Lin Fan no longer feel his head aching and swollen, he instead felt refreshed and clear-headed.

After an unknown amount of time, the vast energy brought by the Benefit Spirit Pill was finally completely refined by Lin Fan. All of it transformed into his Mental Power and poured into the Niwan Palace.

Lin Fan then slowly ended his cultivation and opened his tightly shut eyes.

The moment his eyes opened, an uncontrolled whistle actually rang out from Lin Fan's mouth! At the same time, a powerful wave of Mental Power also burst violently from the Niwan Palace!

"Rumble!"

Under the impact of that invisible wave, the house where Lin Fan lived actually collapsed with a crash! "Hah!"

With a flash of his body, Lin Fan quickly withdrew from the area of the house and let out a long breath of turbid air.

"This Benefit Spirit Pill has a pretty good effect!"

After personally experiencing the might of Mental Power, Lin Fan was quite satisfied as well.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Just then, a series of rushing wind sounds came over.

Lin Xiao, Lin Zhentian, Lin Ken, and even Lin Mang were all hurrying over to this place.

Behind them, Lin Dong and Qing Tan also followed closely.

"Fan'er, what happened?"

Lin Zhentian and the others quickly swept their gazes around, then asked Lin Fan.

Just now, the house where Lin Fan lived had suddenly collapsed. They had all been startled, thinking Lin Fan had been attacked.

Lin Fan said somewhat embarrassedly, "I was only cultivating just now. I was careless for a moment and shook the house down."

Hearing Lin Fan's words, Lin Zhentian and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Ken laughed and said, "As expected of the number one genius of my Lin Clan. Even when you cultivate, it's extraordinary."

Lin Fan said helplessly, "Uncle, I don't even have a place to sleep tonight. Please don't tease me."

"Haha!"

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter.

After the laughter passed, Lin Xiao said, "It's getting late. You and Dong'er can make do for one night first. Tomorrow, I'll have someone prepare a room for you."

Hearing this, Lin Fan could only nod in agreement.

This cultivation session of his had gone straight from noon to night. It had not been a short time.

However, perhaps it was precisely because the time had been relatively long and his Mental Power had grown step by step that he had not suffered too much.

That night, Lin Fan went to Lin Dong's room to rest, and while he was at it, he also gave Lin Dong some guidance regarding the second and third layers of the God Movement Chapter.

After that, the Lin Clan actually enjoyed a rare period of calm.

Aside from cultivating every day, Lin Fan would occasionally go with Qing Tan, riding Huo'er through the deep forest of Ironwood Estate for a breeze, utterly carefree.

As for that Demon Flower inside the Yang Yuan Stone Mine, Lin Fan did not interfere.

More than ten days later, the Lin Clan's mining servants discovered the cave deep within the mine vein, and both Lin Dong and Little Flame obtained an opportunity.

With Lin Fan's previous guidance, Lin Dong circulated the cultivation formula of the God Movement Chapter from the start, sparing himself some torment.

Afterward, Lin Dong even used the Stone Talisman to purify the berserk Pure Yang Energy in that cave, giving it to Lin Zhentian for cultivation.

This Pure Yang Energy would be of considerable benefit to Lin Zhentian in breaking through to the Origin Core Realm.

If the Lin Clan were allowed to continue developing steadily like this, let alone dominating Qingyang Town, even dominating Yancheng, or even the entire Great Yan Dynasty, would only be a matter of time.

Unfortunately, some people were destined not to let the Lin Clan develop peacefully.

That day, after Lin Fan finished cultivating, he brought Qing Tan and Lin Dong to stroll around the Trading Fair in Qingyang Town. Along the way, he also wanted to see whether they could find any Spirit Herbs of the fourth grade or above.

As Lin Fan and Lin Dong's realms improved, Third-Grade Spirit Herbs no longer had much effect on them.

Perhaps because Lin Dong was with them, their luck this time was rather good.

At the Underground Exchange, they purchased a fourth-grade Spirit Herb, the Azure Wood Spirit Stem, as well as a piece of Ancient Wood that faintly contained runes.

However, on their way back, a sudden change occurred! "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

From the houses on both sides of the street, over a dozen arrows suddenly shot explosively toward them, as fast as lightning!

"Careful!"

Lin Fan gave a warning, scooped Qing Tan up with one arm, and powerful Yuan Power surged around his body. His Mental Power also spread out, clearly distinguishing the trajectories of those arrows, and he dodged them all!

Lin Dong also remained calm in the face of danger and quickly avoided all the arrows.

"Thud, thud!"

Over a dozen sharp arrows struck the ground, sinking a full half foot into it. Their tails trembled rapidly, releasing waves of vibrating hums! "Hmph!"

Lin Fan let out a cold snort, a cold light flashing violently in his eyes. His left arm suddenly swung, and over a dozen Shattered Yuan Needles, controlled by his Mental Power, shot precisely toward the archers on the rooftops on both sides.

"Chi, chi, chi!"

In an instant, over a dozen figures holding longbows rolled down from the houses!

"Clap, clap!"

At that moment, a crisp sound of applause suddenly rang out from the street corner.

Lin Fan turned his head to look and saw two middle-aged men standing not far away with beaming smiles.
