Double Reward, Double Happiness!

"From today onward, the title of the Lin family's top junior has changed hands!"

"Lin Xiao has a good son. If Lin Yi doesn't die young, his future will be limitless!"

"To have all three of the top spots occupied by Lin Xiao's children, this is too surprising!"

"No wonder Lin Xiao, who hasn't appeared for years, would show up today. This is truly bringing him so much honor!"

"If only I had such excellent children. Even just one would be enough!"

"..."

In reality, Lin Xiao hadn't expected such a situation either.

However, seeing his children perform so admirably, the corners of Lin Xiao's mouth could barely be contained.

Conversely, Lin Mang's expression was as dark as water at this moment.

At the chief seat, Lin Zhentian waited for a moment. Seeing no one step forward to challenge, he announced loudly, "I now declare the Clan Competition concluded."

"Lin Ken, you will see our esteemed guests out for me, tidy up the scene, and then find me in the backyard."

"Yes, Father." Lin Ken had no objections to this.

"You few, follow me!" Lin Zhentian nodded slightly and then said to Lin Mang, Lin Xiao, and Lin Yi.

With that, he turned and left.

Lin Xiao and his group silently followed behind.

At this moment, Lin Yi, following behind Lin Xiao, heard the pleasant sound of the system rewarding him in his mind once more.

[Ding! Host successfully obtained first place in the Clan Competition, fame greatly increased, rewarded with one thousand Yang Yuan Pills to celebrate!]

A mere Clan Competition, and such a generous reward?

One had to know that, according to the standard exchange rate, ten thousand Yang Yuan Stones were needed to exchange for one thousand Yang Yuan Pills!

Lin Yi had previously asked the system to directly convert the Yang Yuan Stone reward into Yang Yuan Pills. He hadn't expected the system to change the unit but not the number.

With a slight thought, Lin Yi checked the one thousand Yang Yuan Pills that had appeared in his Universe Ring, feeling quite pleased.

The Lin family's backyard was generally a relatively important area within the Lin family, thus ordinary people couldn't enter.

Today was Lin Yi's first time here.

After the group arrived at the backyard, Lin Zhentian severely reprimanded Lin Mang once more, and then reconfirmed Lin Xiao's situation.

When Lin Ken arrived, Lin Zhentian announced a somewhat surprising piece of news in front of everyone.

"Now that Lin Xiao's injuries have healed and his strength has improved, it's time for him to come out and help the family manage its businesses. The Blazing Flame Manor will be yours to oversee. Lin Ken will assist you with the specific matters."

Upon hearing Lin Zhentian's decision, Lin Mang's expression immediately turned somewhat unsightly.

The Blazing Flame Manor's annual profit accounted for nearly fifty to sixty percent of the Lin family's total annual income. Before today, it had always been managed by him!

Although Lin Mang was displeased in his heart, he dared not question Lin Zhentian's decision, and thus the matter was settled.

After saying this, Lin Zhentian's gaze turned to the younger generation of the Lin family. His previously stern face broke into a kind smile.

"You all gave me quite a surprise today. I will arrange for the rewards from this competition to be delivered to you as soon as possible. You may also freely access the family's martial arts library."

"Furthermore, if any of you need anything, feel free to tell your grandfather. Strive to break through again before the Qingyang Town hunt, and bring honor to our Lin family then..."

After giving his earnest instructions, Lin Zhentian dismissed everyone.

As Lin Yi and his two siblings returned to the small hill where they lived with Lin Xiao, they found it surrounded by many people.

Initially, they thought something had happened, but upon asking, they learned that these people had come to celebrate for them.

From the afternoon until evening, people continued to arrive to offer their congratulations.

Lin Xiao and Liu Yan, as a couple, warmly entertained those who came to celebrate, and then sent them off. Even Lin Yi and his two siblings helped entertain many people.

Since their family moved to this small hill, they had never experienced such a lively scene as today.

It wasn't until it grew dark that the small hill finally quieted down.

In their room, the family of five gathered again for dinner. Liu Yan's smile hadn't faded since the afternoon.

Liu Yan didn't actually care about so-called wealth and status, but she wished for her family to live well and be happy.

If Lin Xiao and his son wished to achieve something within the family, she would silently support them from behind, handling the logistical work.

"By the way, Yi'er, what stage has your cultivation reached now?" After dinner, Lin Xiao put down his chopsticks and asked Lin Yi.

Lin Yi didn't hide anything. "Hmm, I just broke through to Body Tempering Ninth Level three days ago."

"Body Tempering Ninth Level! And your Tong Bei Fist and Eight Desolations Palm have both reached perfection. This progress is truly terrifying..." Lin Xiao was also surprised upon hearing this. He had thought Lin Yi should be at Body Tempering Eighth Level.

Qing Tan smiled and said, "Brother Lin Yi is the most amazing."

Lin Yi's thoughts raced, and he spoke the excuse he had prepared long ago. "Half a year ago, I took a master as my teacher. He gave me some spirit medicine, which is why I've been able to progress so quickly."

"Additionally, my master gave me a pill, which he said would increase comprehension. Since then, practicing martial arts has felt very simple."

He definitely couldn't reveal anything about the system. In the future, he would occasionally receive rewards, and a mysterious master would be the best excuse.

"So that's how it is," Lin Xiao said, quite surprised to hear this. "When can you call your master over? I want to thank him properly in person."

Lin Yi shook his head. "My master is elusive, like a dragon that shows its head but not its tail. He finds me, I can't contact him proactively."

"Then let's forget it. We'll talk about it if there's a chance later," Lin Xiao didn't press the matter.

"Oh, right. This is the reward your grandfather gave you. It contains four third-grade spirit medicines – two for Yi'er, and one each for Dong'er and Qing Tan."

As he spoke, Lin Xiao took a brocade box from the table in the room and handed it to Lin Yi.

"Four third-grade spirit medicines, huh? A decent reward," Lin Yi said, not being polite at all. He reached out and took the brocade box.

"Additionally, you now have the qualification to enter the Martial Arts Hall. If you want to cultivate any martial arts, just go and take a look yourself," Lin Xiao chuckled lightly and continued.

"Your performance in the Clan Competition today was somewhat beyond my expectations. However, you mustn't become complacent. The end of the year is approaching, and the triennial Qingyang Town hunting event will also begin."

"Yi'er will have to represent our Lin Family then, so you mustn't tarnish the Lin Family's reputation."

"Mm, I will," Lin Yi nodded slightly, feeling no pressure about it.

"Alright, it's getting late. You should go back and rest. I'll head to Blazing Flame Manor for a bit during this time. As for your cultivation, you'll have to manage it yourselves."

After giving his instructions, Lin Xiao waved to Lin Yi and the other two.

"Mm."

Lin Yi and the other two responded and left the main house room together.

Back in his own room, Lin Yi refined all four third-grade spirit medicines into pills using the Stone Talisman. He ended up with a total of twelve pills!

Lin Yi stored all the pills in his Universe Ring, planning to give three each to Lin Dong and Qing Tan later.

The remaining six pills were naturally for his own cultivation.

Fortunately, the spirit medicine pills refined with the Stone Talisman had no side effects. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to consume them so freely for cultivation.
