Yin Bead, Body Tempering Sixth Level!

"Don't go," Qing Tan said upon hearing this, hurriedly grabbing Lin Dong's sleeve. "It's useless. Even if you tell Father, it will only give him one more person to worry about. I'm already used to it; I'll just endure it and it will pass."

The cold energy within Qing Tan's body would erupt every so often.

Because of this cold energy, Qing Tan had suffered immeasurable pain since she was a child.

Lin Xiao had once tried to use Yuan Power to forcibly expel the cold energy from Qing Tan's body, but not only was it ineffective, he himself was affected by the cold and ended up bedridden for half a month!

When the cold energy in Qing Tan's body erupted, the family could only watch helplessly, unable to offer her any assistance at all.

"I'll carry Qing Tan back to her room first," Lin Yi said, his eyes flickering. He scooped Qing Tan up in a bridal carry and walked quickly toward her room.

Lin Dong followed behind, burning with anxiety but unable to do anything.

Soon, Lin Yi carried Qing Tan back to her room and placed her on the bed.

"So cold... so cold..." Qing Tan's teeth chattered, her small face was pale, and her hair was covered in ice crystals.

At this moment, even Lin Yi's arms were numbed by the frost, but the bone-chilling cold also caused him pain as if he were being pricked by needles.

Lin Yi sat directly on the edge of the bed, enduring the bone-chilling cold, and pulled Qing Tan into his embrace.

"Brother Lin Yi, don't..."

Although Qing Tan's consciousness was blurred by the cold, she still sensed Lin Yi's actions and hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

She knew very well how powerful the cold energy within her was; even Lin Xiao had been injured by it, let alone Lin Yi.

"Be good, I'm fine," Lin Yi said, holding Qing Tan tightly. He felt as if he were holding a piece of Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice, and his body began to tremble involuntarily.

Before long, white frost appeared on Lin Yi's eyebrows, followed by frost covering his entire body, growing thicker and thicker.

His consciousness also began to blur.

Just as Lin Yi was about to lose consciousness, a strange suction force suddenly emanated from his chest, and the Yin cold energy rampaging through his body was quickly sucked away by that force.

"The Stone Talisman is finally working..."

Sensing the change in his body, Lin Yi let out a sigh of relief.

Not long after, the cold energy on Lin Yi's body was completely absorbed, and even the cold energy radiating from Qing Tan was entirely drawn in by the Stone Talisman.

Qing Tan, who had previously fallen unconscious, regained a sense of warmth and immediately regained her clarity. She slowly opened her eyes and said in surprise, "The cold energy has retreated?"

In the past, when the cold energy flared up, Qing Tan would have to endure the torture for an entire night.

In comparison, the pain of this eruption was nothing at all.

Seeing this, Lin Dong was also somewhat surprised, but he was mostly happy for Qing Tan.

"Yes, the cold energy has retreated. You can get some good rest tonight," Lin Yi said, releasing Qing Tan with a smile.

"Mm, thank you, Brother Lin Yi."

Looking at Lin Yi's face, Qing Tan blushed slightly and whispered.

"Why are you being so polite with me?" Lin Yi rubbed Qing Tan's head and said softly, "Alright, get some rest early. I'm going back to rest as well."

Immediately, Lin Yi signaled to Lin Dong, and the two of them exited the room together.

After leaving Qing Tan's room, Lin Yi and Lin Dong returned to their respective rooms.

After locking his door, Lin Yi carefully removed the Stone Talisman hanging on his chest to examine it.

He saw that in the groove at the center of the Stone Talisman, there were now three milky-white crystals.

These were the Yin Beads condensed from the cold energy extracted from Qing Tan's body!

Lin Yi took out a porcelain bottle, placed the three Yin Beads inside, and then stored it in his Universe Ring, intending to save them for when he broke through to the Earth Yuan Stage.

Seeing that the night was growing deep, Lin Yi went to bed to rest.

The summer was scorching, and throughout the season, the younger generation of the Lin Family practiced diligently, hoping to show off their prowess at the Clan Competition.

Perhaps because the news of Lin Yi beating up Lin Shan had spread, Lin Yi enjoyed a rare period of peace for the next while.

For half a month straight, Lin Yi alternated between taking four medicinal pills and two drops of Stone Talisman Spirit Liquid, practicing with all his might.

This world was extremely dangerous, and the Demonic Race was like a Sword of Damocles hanging over his head!

Even with his cheat, Lin Yi dared not slack off in the slightest!

"The time to enjoy the pain has arrived again..."

In the back mountain of the Lin Family, where Lin Yi usually trained, he stared at a drop of Stone Talisman Spirit Liquid in a porcelain bottle, then suddenly tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.

As the Stone Talisman Spirit Liquid entered his body, Lin Yi's complexion turned fiery red in an instant, and wisps of white smoke seeped from the top of his head, rising in curls.

"Hmph..."

Lin Yi frowned, a painful grunt escaping his lips.

He felt as if magma were flowing through his body, and his bone marrow was filled with an intense burning sensation.

Although it wasn't his first time, the pain still made Lin Yi's teeth chatter!

Lin Yi hugged his body tightly with his arms, curling up in agony as he endured the searing pain radiating from within.

Ten-plus minutes later, Lin Yi, who was enduring the agonizing burning sensation, suddenly felt a strange energy being born within his bone marrow!

"A Yuan Power Seed?! I have... broken through to the Body Tempering Sixth Level!"

Lin Yi was pleasantly surprised, even forgetting the scorching pain inside his body.

The birth of a Yuan Power Seed within the bone marrow was precisely the hallmark of the Body Tempering Sixth Level!

After a while, the pain in Lin Yi's body finally dissipated, and having successfully broken through, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and ceased his cultivation.

Just then, the system's milky, childish voice rang out once again.

[Ding! Detecting that the host has cultivated diligently for an entire day, this system is very gratified and rewards you with one thousand Yang Yuan Stones as compensation!]

This was truly a double blessing!

Lin Yi vaguely remembered that one hundred Yang Yuan Stones were enough to purchase an ordinary fourth-grade Spirit Medicine.

With the breakthrough finished and the hour growing late, Lin Yi stopped his cultivation, preparing to head home for a bath before dinner.

Having only walked a few steps, Lin Yi saw that kid Lin Changqiang running over in a panicked rush.

"Brother Lin Yi, it's bad!"

"Can you change your opening line every time you come to find me?" Lin Yi glared at Lin Changqiang with annoyance.

"I don't want to either, it's Qing Tan... something happened to her," Lin Changqiang panted.

"Qing Tan found a Crimson Sun Grass in the Back Mountain Forest today, but that bastard Lin Shan saw it, and now Qing Tan is being blocked by them and won't be let go."

"It seems the lesson I gave Lin Shan last time was too light! Lead the way!" Lin Yi's eyes turned cold as he spoke frigidly.

"Alright!"

Lin Changqiang agreed, hurriedly turning around to lead the way; although he was as round as a ball, his movements were surprisingly agile.

With Lin Changqiang guiding him, it didn't take long for Lin Yi to spot Qing Tan, who was being cornered by Lin Shan and his group.

On a small path in the Back Mountain Forest, Lin Shan and several lackeys had blocked the exit leading out of the woods.

Qing Tan's delicate little face was filled with anger.

"Brother Lin Shan, Lin Yi is here!" One of the lackeys beside Lin Shan spotted Lin Yi approaching and hurriedly alerted him.

Lin Shan turned his head and saw Lin Yi standing a dozen meters away. A flash of panic crossed his face, but then, seemingly recalling something, he said viciously, "I was just afraid he wouldn't dare to come!"

"Is that so? It seems I didn't beat you hard enough last time!" Lin Yi strode forward, cold light flickering in his eyes.
