Lin Tian, I Heard You Went to Practice Martial Arts?

Lin Tian, I heard you went to practice martial arts? Blood Coagulation Pill.

This was a pill required for the cultivation of martial artists at Transforming Force and above.

Especially for Transforming Force martial artists.

Almost every single one brought an enormous improvement to those at the Transforming Force level.

But this kind of pill was controlled by the imperial court.

If one wanted to obtain it, one had to go through the government.

And the Martial Examination was one such route.

If a martial academy disciple could obtain a ranking in the Martial Examination, then the martial academy they belonged to could also directly receive Blood Coagulation Pills awarded by the government.

And they were not issued as a one-time reward.

Instead, they were issued continuously for an entire year.

That was right—as long as someone from that martial academy could win official honors in the Martial Examination, the martial academy behind them would receive these pill rewards every month.

What this represented was not merely an increase in strength.

One had to know that in this outer city, the Zhao Family Martial Academy was not the only martial academy.

As far as Lin Tian knew, there were no fewer than three martial academies in the outer city.

These martial academies were naturally all in competition with one another.

Especially with the Wang Family Martial Academy—they had even reached the point of being as incompatible as water and fire.

The Wang Family Martial Academy.

Back then, it was people from this martial academy who had barged into Xiao Tian's banquet.

It was said that when Zhao Cang was young, he had formed a grudge with the Transforming Force expert from that martial academy.

Over the years, the two sides had been targeting each other constantly.

It was said that this year, a genius seed had emerged from the other martial academy, one who was extremely likely to win official honors in the Martial Examination.

To Zhao Cang, this was by no means good news.

After all, the strength of the two martial academies was roughly the same.

If the Wang Family Martial Academy could obtain a ranking in the Martial Examination, then for the next year, their academy would receive a supply of pills from the imperial court.

And if Zhao Cang failed to obtain this pill supply, then as one side waxed and the other waned, Zhao Cang would definitely fall into a disadvantage.

And on the path of martial arts, one step ahead meant every step ahead!

Moreover, that was a gap of an entire year.

Once such a gap appeared, it would be extremely difficult to make up for.

Thus, Zhao Cang had now staked all his chips on Xiao Tian.

After Lin Tian left the martial academy, he headed straight in the direction of the Lin Family Old Residence.

Fortunately, the martial academy was not too far from the Lin Family Old Residence.

So Lin Tian soon arrived at the entrance of the old residence.

At this moment, Lin Tian went straight up and knocked on the door empty-handed.

Of course, before he left, his mother, Madam Zhao, had still instructed him to buy some things on the way before going.

Lin Tian had naturally taken that to heart.

But whether he did it or not was another matter.

After all, he had not forgotten what had happened back then.

These people had taken and used up the spot his father had exchanged his life for.

And back then, they had also driven his entire family out with not a single coin to their name.

These matters were like brands, carved deeply into his heart.

So for him to be able to come to their door again now was already the result of his own open-mindedness.

Of course, even more of it was because of his young aunt...

Knock, knock, knock!

After a burst of knocking.

"Coming!"

As a voice came from inside, the front door was opened.

The moment Zhang Cui saw that the person who had come was Lin Tian, her face instantly darkened.

Then her face even seemed to carry a trace of venomous resentment and anger.

Especially when she saw that Lin Tian had come empty-handed, the disgust in her eyes deepened even further.

"Oh? So you still knew to come? I thought after doing something guilty, you'd hide away and not dare show your face!"

Zhang Cui looked at Lin Tian before her and immediately spoke in a strange, mocking tone.

Listening to the other party's tone and looking at her expression, Lin Tian did not understand why.

But before coming today, he had already known that Zhang Cui calling him over definitely would not be for anything good.

So he was not too surprised.

Besides, the main reason he had come here today was for his little aunt.

It was not for any of the things the other party had mentioned.

The next moment, he directly shoved open the door in front of him.

Then he walked straight past her and headed toward the inner hall.

Seeing Lin Tian leave without paying the slightest attention to her, the anger in Zhang Cui's heart grew even stronger!

In her heart, she made up her mind that in a moment, she would definitely get this face back!!

After closing the door, Zhang Cui immediately followed.

Lin Tian quickly arrived in the inner hall.

At this moment, inside the inner hall, Old Master Lin was already seated in the center of the hall.

Also in the hall were his second uncle and little aunt, and Lin Tiansheng?

If Zhang Cui, who was behind him with a face full of resentment and anger, was counted too, then the family members in the old residence had almost all gathered.

Looking at this scene, Lin Tian immediately felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Such a lineup? What were they planning to do?

And when his little aunt, Lin Ci, saw that Lin Tian had arrived, a flash of panic instantly crossed her eyes.

Clearly, she had not expected that Lin Tian would really come, and that he had truly come alone!

At this moment, she wanted to go over and remind Lin Tian.

But with a single look from Old Master Lin beside her, she was pressed back down.

Old Master Lin looked at Lin Tian before him, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed through his eyes as well.

Especially when he saw that there was nothing in Lin Tian's hands.

The dissatisfaction in his heart almost overflowed.

Zhang Cui soon arrived in the inner hall as well, then sat down too.

Everyone in the hall looked toward Lin Tian.

A feeling as if he were a criminal being interrogated rose in Lin Tian's heart.

Seeing this, Lin Tian had already begun to regret coming here.

He should have secretly come to see his little aunt once, and that would have been enough.

"Lin Tian, I heard you went to practice martial arts?"

Old Master Lin looked at Lin Tian before him, his tone carrying its own note of dissatisfaction.

Clearly, at this moment, he was dissatisfied that Lin Tian had not discussed this with him before doing it, but had decided on his own.

This was simply fooling around!!

In his eyes, this was even Lin Tian's family's silent protest against what he had done back then!!

What was he doing?

Was he dissatisfied with her arrangements?

This was utter nonsense!

"Yes."

Lin Tian answered the question simply, without the slightest hesitation.

"Hmph! Then let me ask you! Where did you get the money to practice martial arts?"

"With your family's shabby poverty, there's no way you could possibly take out money to practice martial arts!"

Zhang Cui, who had already been furious off to the side, after hearing Lin Tian's answer, immediately cut straight to the point without any further hesitation!

Hearing her words, Lin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly.

He had a rough idea in his heart of why she had called him over today.

So it was for this.

"I wonder what Second Aunt wants to say. My head is rather dull, so you'd better be a bit more direct."

For some reason, after hearing Lin Tian's voice, already neither servile nor overbearing, the anger in Zhang Cui's heart burned even hotter.

After all, in her eyes, Lin Tian at this moment should have had a face full of panic.

Only that way could she make even more demands later!!

But Lin Tian's calmness at this moment had directly disrupted her plan.

However, the next moment, Zhang Cui still threw a sheet of paper toward Lin Tian.

Lin Tian naturally took it casually.

Looking at the words on the paper, a strange look immediately flashed through Lin Tian's eyes.
