Clan Competition Rewards, Refining Yang Yuan Stones!

After the Clan Competition ended, the little hill where Lin Fan and Lin Xiao's family lived became much livelier. That very day, many people came one after another to offer their congratulations.

By the time Lin Xiao and Liu Yan finished receiving those well-wishers, the sky had already darkened.

Liu Yan prepared dinner, and the five of them gathered once more to eat.

After the meal, Lin Xiao set down his bowl and chopsticks and praised Lin Fan and Lin Dong for quite a while. At the same time, he also asked about the speed of their improvement.

Regarding this, Lin Fan and Lin Dong muddled their way through with vague answers, and Lin Xiao did not probe too deeply.

After a pause, Lin Xiao said with a grave expression, "Although the two of you performed well in this Clan Competition, you must not become too proud and slack off in your cultivation."

"In a few more months, it will be Qingyang Town's Hunting Tournament. The younger generation of the other factions will all take part, especially the juniors of the Lei and Xie Families. Their strength must not be underestimated. You must not let the Lin Clan's prestige fall."

Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged a look, then said in unison, "Third Uncle/Father, don't worry. I won't slack off!"

Lin Fan knew the plot well, so he naturally had not forgotten Qingyang Town's hunt.

Moreover, during this Hunting Tournament, the Lin Clan and the Lei Clan would also hold a wager battle, allowing the Lin Clan to win Ironwood Estate. Within Ironwood Estate, they would discover a Yang Yuan Stone Mine!

Thinking of this, Lin Fan remembered the huge pile of Yang Yuan Stones stored in his System Space. It was time to ask Lin Dong for help purifying them.

Hearing their reply, Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction. After encouraging them with a few words, he suddenly took out two brocade boxes and handed them to Lin Fan and Lin Dong respectively, saying:

"This is your reward from your grandfather. Lin Fan gets two Third-Grade Spirit Herbs, and Lin Dong gets one Third-Grade Spirit Herb."

"In addition, from now on, you also have the qualifications to enter the Martial Arts Hall. You may go choose any martial arts you wish to cultivate at any time."

"Third-Grade Spirit Herbs?"

Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged a look, delight flashing through both their eyes, then each accepted a brocade box.

"All right, it's getting late. Go back and rest first. During this period, I'll be going to Flame Manor to take a look. As for cultivation, you can manage it yourselves."

Seeing the two accept the brocade boxes, Lin Xiao waved his hand and said casually.

"Mm."

Lin Fan and Lin Dong answered, each holding a brocade box as they walked straight out of the room.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing this, Qingtan called out and hurriedly chased after them as well.

"Let's go to my room first," Lin Fan said to Lin Dong and Qingtan after leaving Lin Xiao and his wife's room.

Hearing this, Lin Dong and Qingtan both nodded, naturally having no objections.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Lin Fan's room.

Lin Fan locked the door from the inside, then walked to the table and opened the brocade box in his hand.

Seeing this, Lin Dong also walked to the table and opened his brocade box.

"Three Third-Grade Spirit Herbs, and they're all Fire Blood Spirit Mushrooms," Qingtan said in surprise as she looked at the blood-red spirit mushrooms in the two brocade boxes, which were giving off an enticing fragrance.

"Heh, who cares what kind they are? As long as they're effective for improving cultivation, that's enough," Lin Fan chuckled, then said to Lin Dong, "Use the Stone Talisman to purify them."

"Mm," Lin Dong replied, placing his palm close to one of the Fire Blood Spirit Mushrooms.

That Fire Blood Spirit Mushroom soon withered, and before long, the Stone Talisman in Lin Dong's palm spat out three fiery-red pills.

Lin Dong placed the three pills into the brocade box, then used the Stone Talisman to purify the remaining two Fire Blood Spirit Mushrooms.

Three Fire Blood Spirit Mushrooms yielded a total of nine pills.

Lin Fan pondered briefly, took five, and gave the other four to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong could not refuse him in the end and accepted them, the gratitude he felt toward Lin Fan deepening even further.

After distributing the pills refined from the Fire Blood Spirit Mushrooms, Lin Fan said again, "There's something else I need your help with, Lin Dong."

Lin Dong immediately said, "Brother Lin Fan, if there's anything you need my help with, just say it. I'll definitely do it well."

Qingtan raised her little hand from the side and blinked as she said, "I can help Brother Lin Fan too."

"Heh, this matter needs Lin Dong's Stone Talisman, so I'll ask Qingtan for help next time."

Lin Fan smiled and said this to Qingtan, then reached into his clothes, pretending to take three Yang Yuan Stones from his bosom, and handed them to Lin Dong.

"All right," Qingtan stuck out her cute tongue and obediently answered.

"Are these... Yang Yuan Stones?"

Lin Dong looked at the red crystals in Lin Fan's hand and said in some surprise.

"That's right. I still have quite a few here. Next, use the Stone Talisman to help me purify them into Yang Yuan Pills," Lin Fan said with a slight nod.

Lin Dong asked curiously, "What are Yang Yuan Pills?"

Lin Fan smiled faintly and explained Yang Yuan Pills to Lin Dong and Qingtan, then said, "Under ordinary circumstances, ten Yang Yuan Stones are needed to refine one Yang Yuan Pill. However, the Stone Talisman's refining efficiency is higher."

Lin Dong nodded slightly and held the three Yang Yuan Stones in his hand. The Stone Talisman in his palm suddenly released a wave of fluctuation.

Very soon, the three Yang Yuan Stones that had originally been flickering with a faint red luster lost all their light and finally turned into a puff of powder that drifted down.

In Lin Dong's palm, rays of light suddenly shot out from within his flesh. In the end, the rays intertwined and condensed into a fiery-red pill the size of a thumb!

"So this is a Yang Yuan Pill?" Lin Dong asked curiously as he looked at the fiery-red pill in his hand.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "That's right. I still have nearly six thousand Yang Yuan Stones here. Over the next few days, when you're not cultivating, help me refine all of them into Yang Yuan Pills."

"That many?" Lin Dong was startled when he heard this, then said solemnly, "Don't worry, Brother Lin Fan. I'll help you do it properly."

Lin Fan nodded slightly, then made arrangements. "Mm. I'll hide the Yang Yuan Stones in the cave we often go to. It will be more secluded for you to refine them there."

Lin Dong naturally had no objections to this.

"All right, it's getting late. Go back to your rooms and rest."

After the proper business was finished, Lin Fan said this to Lin Dong and Qingtan.

"Mm. Good night, Brother Lin Fan," Lin Dong answered, handing the Yang Yuan Pill to Lin Fan, then left with the brocade box.

Qingtan said sweetly, "Brother Lin Fan, I'm going back too."

"Wait," Lin Fan suddenly remembered something and stepped forward, patting Qingtan on the shoulder.

In the next instant, the system's familiar voice once again rang out in Lin Fan's mind.

Ding! You touched Lin Qingtan and obtained ten Yin Pearls!

"Brother Lin Fan, what's wrong?" Lin Qingtan blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Nothing. I just noticed there were some Yang Yuan Stone fragments on your clothes, so I helped pat them off."

"Oh, okay," Qingtan did not think much of it. She answered, said goodbye to Lin Fan again, then left.

After Lin Dong and Qingtan left, Lin Fan did not go straight to rest. Instead, he took out the Seventh-Rank Martial Skill Five Elements Seal that he had obtained by drawing a prize from his grandfather Lin Zhentian that afternoon from his System Space!

The Lin Clan's highest-level martial art, Pure Yuan Finger, was only a Fourth Grade Martial Art. Lin Fan was rather looking forward to this Five Elements Seal...
