Pill Immortal Pond

In the depths of a mountain range east of Yan City, two figures were swiftly moving through the forest.

"Big Brother, why haven't we found the place you mentioned yet? We've already run into Heavenly Yuan Realm Demonic Beasts several times along the way," Lin Dong complained.

"If it were somewhere ordinary, why would it be your turn?" Lin Mu replied irritably.

"We're here!"

Lin Mu suddenly came to a stop. They were already close to the mountaintop, where he spotted quite a few people. The Pill Immortal Pond he was looking for was right atop the mountain.

"So the Myriad Gold Merchant Association and the Blood Wolf Gang have already discovered this Pill Immortal Pond," Lin Mu thought to himself.

Xia Wanjin and Yue Shan had discovered the Pill Immortal Pond together. After fighting for a while without determining a winner, the two sides were now discussing a suitable arrangement. However, to prevent the other side from secretly entering the Pill Immortal Pond, both had stationed people here to keep watch and monitor one another. Neither side was willing to let down its guard.

"Big Brother, someone got here before us." Lin Dong stopped behind Lin Mu and spoke quietly.

"One group belongs to the Blood Wolf Gang, and the other belongs to the Myriad Gold Merchant Association. You deal with the Myriad Gold Merchant Association while I deal with the Blood Wolf Gang. Don't kill them—just knock them out," Lin Mu said.

"Why?"

"The Yang Yuan Stones mined recently have all been sold to the Myriad Gold Merchant Association. Their price is twenty percent above the market rate, so they've treated us fairly well," Lin Mu explained.

In truth, he knew that the reason they offered the Lin Family such a price was because of him.

"Oh." Lin Dong nodded.

"Move out!" Lin Mu said as he dashed forward. Needle after needle, fine as ox hair, appeared around him—it was the Shadowless Needle.

"Go!"

With a thought from Lin Mu, the Shadowless Needles flew toward the Blood Wolf Gang members. He had no intention of showing mercy to the Blood Wolf Gang.

"Ah!"

Miserable cries immediately rang out, followed by Blood Wolf Gang members collapsing one after another.

"These Shadowless Needles really are useful!" Lin Mu said with a satisfied smile. The time he had spent exchanging for them had not been wasted.

While Lin Mu was killing the Blood Wolf Gang members, Lin Dong also made his move and knocked out everyone from the Myriad Gold Merchant Association.

"What dense Yin Yang Qi!" Lin Dong arrived beside the Pill Immortal Pond at the mountaintop, his eyes gleaming. The Yin Yang Qi here was exceptionally pure and greatly beneficial for improving the quality of a Core Formation Pill.

"I'll stand guard for you here. Go down and absorb the Yin Yang Qi. The Demon Spirit I mentioned is at the bottom of the pond. Whether you can deal with it depends on yourselves," Lin Mu said.

"Big Brother, why don't you lend us a hand? I'm not confident in Little Sable," Lin Dong said with a smile.

"Damn it, it's only a Demon Spirit. Lord Sable can swallow it in one bite!" Little Sable immediately leaped out, thoroughly indignant.

At its peak, the Green Water Demonic Python had at most reached the Three Creation Realms. At his peak, however, he had been in the Death Profound Realm. Besides, he was a Heavenly Demonic Sable, not something that Green Water Demonic Python could compare to.

"You solve it yourselves. If you can't handle it, then run. The treasures in the pond simply won't be yours," Lin Mu said.

"Fine." Lin Dong replied helplessly.

With a splash, he jumped into the water. Rather than heading straight to the bottom, he first began absorbing the Yin Yang Qi within the pond.

Lin Mu found a spot nearby and lay down quietly. However, he had not truly ignored Lin Dong. His Spiritual Power remained focused on the movements within the pond to prevent any accidents.

After a while, ripples appeared in the pond.

"Have they started fighting? The Heavenly Demonic Sable truly is formidable. Even in its current state, it can still swallow the Green Water Demonic Python's Demon Spirit," Lin Mu said in amazement.

Although it had borrowed Lin Dong's Primal Energy, Lin Dong was only in the Heavenly Yuan Realm right now. The main reason was still the Heavenly Demonic Sable's powerful innate divine ability.

"Why isn't he coming out yet? Is he planning to break through to the Core Formation Realm in one go?" Lin Mu thought.

He discovered that Little Sable had already swallowed the Green Water Demonic Python and temporarily fallen into slumber. Lin Dong had also obtained the Yin Yang Pearl, yet he had no intention of coming out immediately. Instead, he was preparing to refine the Yin Yang Pearl and break through to the Core Formation Realm in one stroke.

Lin Mu was in no hurry and continued standing guard for Lin Dong. Even if Xia Wanjin and Yue Shan arrived together, he alone could deal with them easily.

After all, he had condensed a Twelve Star Core Formation Pill. His strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Greater Perfection Core Formation Realm cultivator, and he was also a Five Seal Talisman Master.

About an hour passed when another great disturbance came from the pond.

"He's broken through. I wonder how many stars Lin Dong's Core Formation Pill has," Lin Mu said with a smile. In the original story, Lin Dong had condensed an Eight Star Core Formation Pill. No matter what, he could not be worse off than he had been in the original story.

Before long, Lin Dong leaped out from the bottom of the pond and landed not far from Lin Mu.

"Big Brother, I've broken through to the Core Formation Realm!" Lin Dong said excitedly.

"How many stars?" Lin Mu asked.

Lin Dong smiled and slightly opened his mouth. A Core Formation Pill flew out, bearing nine star patterns.

"A Nine Star Core Formation Pill. Not bad!" Lin Mu nodded in satisfaction. It had one more star than in the original story.

"The effects of this Pill Immortal Pond are truly excellent. It's a pity that I've absorbed almost all the Yin Yang Qi inside," Lin Dong sighed. It would have been wonderful if it could continuously produce Yin Yang Qi.

"Let's go. Although we're not afraid of the Myriad Gold Merchant Association or the Blood Wolf Gang, there's no need to invite more trouble," Lin Mu said.

"Mm." Lin Dong nodded.

The two of them then raced back along the way they had come, their figures soon disappearing into the forest.

One could imagine the fury of the Myriad Gold Merchant Association and the Blood Wolf Gang once they discovered that the Yin Yang Qi in the Pill Immortal Pond had been absorbed by someone else. However, the Blood Wolf Gang would most likely suspect the Myriad Gold Merchant Association, since the Blood Wolf Gang had suffered deaths while the Myriad Gold Merchant Association's people had merely been knocked unconscious.

After returning home, Lin Zhentian was both shocked and delighted to learn that Lin Dong had broken through to the Core Formation Realm.

"Heaven truly favors my Lin Family!"

The Lin Family had suddenly produced two geniuses, Lin Mu and Lin Dong, both of whom were stronger than Lin Langtian of the main family.

"Third Brother truly gave birth to two fine sons. At such a young age, they've already surpassed us uncles," Lin Ken said with a smile, though he also felt somewhat envious of Lin Xiao.

"First Uncle and Second Uncle should be close to breaking through to the Core Formation Realm as well, right? By then, our Lin Family will have six Core Formation Realm experts and will be able to secure a place in Yan City," Lin Dong said with a smile.

"Mm." Lin Zhentian nodded with a smile.

Six Core Formation Realm experts would be no small force even in Yan City.

"Grandfather, have you considered relocating the Lin Family to Yan City? We would only need to leave one Core Formation Realm expert behind in Qingyang Town," Lin Mu asked.

"The forces in Yan City are complicated. Our Lin Family has no businesses there, so it would be difficult for us to develop," Lin Zhentian said. He had naturally considered this matter before.

"Grandfather, none of that is a problem." Lin Mu smiled mysteriously.

"Mu'er, do you have a solution?" A glint flashed through Lin Zhentian's eyes as he asked expectantly.

"Someone will deliver businesses right to our door," Lin Mu said with a smile, leaving everyone else utterly confused and unable to understand what he meant.
