Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula and Supreme Sacred Heaven and Earth Technique

Lin Yuan consoled them in a reassuring tone, spouting nonsense with a straight face:

"Don't worry, Grandpa Jerry. My father knows a lot of people in Notting City. I'll go find him right away. If Lin Tian really returned to Notting City, someone will definitely have seen him."

"Sorry for the trouble, but please watch the shop for a while. My mother is cooking inside. When she comes out, tell her."

"Sister Xiao Wu, head back to Nording Academy first. If there's any news, I'll notify you immediately."

The two answered with a "Okay." Lin Yuan then looked at the young transmigrator from earlier and said, "Brother, I have something to do and need to go out today. Please make yourself at home."

From the moment Xiao Wu entered, this person's gaze had never left her. Yet judging by the fact that he had not greeted her,

he was clearly more cautious than Lin Tian.

It was obviously unrealistic to try what he had done before—use Yu Xiaogang and Tang Hao to get rid of the transmigrator, then loot the body.

After all, Tang Hao did not kill everyone he met, especially someone who so obviously appeared to have status.

Everything would have to be considered carefully.

Before that, he needed to find a way to loot Lin Tian first. He could only hope Lin Tian had kept a copy of the techniques on him.

Otherwise, this would all be for nothing.

"No matter. I was about to head back as well. We'll meet again if the opportunity arises."

The youth took one more long look at Xiao Wu before turning and leaving.

After watching the youth depart, Lin Yuan followed him out of the medicine shop.

Although he knew Lin Tian could not possibly have returned to Notting City, Lin Yuan still obediently went to find his father. As expected, no one had seen Lin Tian return to Notting City.

Thus, Lin Yuan naturally followed Father Lin and the old village chief back to Bamboo Ridge to search for Lin Tian.

In his words, Lin Tian was his beloved friend and sworn brother. Even if only a corpse remained, he had to find him.

The old village chief was deeply moved by this.

He repeatedly praised Lin Yuan for being as kindhearted as his father.

Because the old village chief had trouble walking, Father Lin drove the family carriage to take him back.

Meanwhile, in order to find Lin Tian's corpse faster, Lin Yuan took off running at full speed, terrified that one moment's delay would cost him the chance to loot the body.

By the time he arrived, however, the villagers had already found Lin Tian's corpse beneath a cliff at the back mountain.

Cause of death: accidentally falling off the cliff.

This was the explanation widely accepted by the villagers.

After all, outsiders normally never came to Bamboo Ridge, while the people of Bamboo Ridge Village were all close-knit. Even those who had moved away did everything they could to look after the villagers.

Furthermore, Lin Tian had loved running around the back mountain since childhood. An unexpected accident was perfectly understandable.

When Lin Yuan saw Lin Tian's corpse covered by a white sheet, he wailed as though his heart had been torn apart.

The sight left the villagers grieving, and all who heard him weeping.

They all praised the two as brothers who would die for each other.

Yet Lin Yuan remained utterly unmoved. Even when the old village chief and Father Lin arrived later to persuade him, it was useless.

In the end, Lin Yuan even requested to keep vigil for Lin Tian.

Father Lin had no choice. Since he still had work the next day, he gave Lin Yuan some instructions before returning home that very night.

Once everyone had left and only Lin Yuan remained in the mourning hall, he finally wiped away his tears and began searching Lin Tian's corpse.

All he found in his clothes were two or three Gold Soul Coins, seven or eight silver soul coins, and several dozen copper soul coins.

While cursing Lin Tian as a poor bastard, Lin Yuan pulled open his clothes and continued searching.

He found nothing.

"Could it be that this guy never wrote down the secret manuals?"

Just as Lin Yuan thought this trip would end with nothing to show for it, he inadvertently spotted a familiar string of symbols on Lin Tian's bloodstained clothing.

No, they could not really be called symbols. Pinyin would have been more accurate.

"Supreme Sacred Heaven and Earth Technique..."

Although Lin Yuan had only been a lowly working stiff in his previous life, he had at least been a college student. Whether chatting with others online or writing webnovels, he had used pinyin.

Naturally, it was not difficult for him to make out what these pinyin words said.

After only one glance, his eyes lit up.

The Supreme Sacred Heaven and Earth Technique!

It was actually the Supreme Sacred Heaven and Earth Technique!

No wonder Lin Tian's technique had always felt so familiar. It turned out to be the Supreme Sacred Heaven and Earth Technique.

The Supreme Sacred Heaven and Earth Technique was Tongwen Pavilion's supreme sect-defending art in the animated series "Hua Jianghu: Bad Guys" from his previous life. Its nature was supremely yang and fiercely domineering.

This technique focused primarily on body tempering. Practitioners could quickly advance to the Lesser Heavenly Rank. Once their internal energy reached the Middle Heavenly Rank, they could release it outward as colorless or blue energy flames, gaining terrifying speed comparable to teleportation.

At the Greater Heavenly Rank, it balanced offense and defense. Once mastered, it combined hardness and softness.

In the original work, Prince of Jin Li Keyong had once briefly contended with Yuan Tiangang, who possessed three hundred years of power, by relying on the Supreme Sacred Heaven and Earth Technique cultivated to its highest realm.

Whether Yuan Tiangang had held back or not, the might of this technique was beyond doubt.

After his brief excitement, Lin Yuan continued reading. What delighted him immensely was that, for some reason—perhaps Lin Tian had never read ancient books—

it had been recorded entirely in plain language.

The contents were simple and easy to understand. Even a complete outsider like him could cultivate it.

What delighted him even more was that the clothing contained not only the Supreme Sacred Heaven and Earth Technique, but also the peerless complementary technique, the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula.

There was even less need to mention this technique. In the original work, after Li Siyuan obtained it, even without the Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Formula's general outline, he had leaped from being one of the weakest Greater Heavenly Rank experts

to becoming someone on par with, or even surpassing, the three kings—Ghost King Zhu Youwen, Prince of Qi Li Maozhen, and Prince of Jin Li Keyong.

That alone showed how powerful this technique was.

"No wonder that bastard Lin Tian could fool around with Xiao Wu every day and still raise his Soul Power to level nineteen in just one year. So he possessed two techniques this powerful."

"On Douluo Continent, where talent and bloodline reign supreme, the value of these techniques has, in some respects, already surpassed Yan Beifei's Plastic Palm-Heaven Bottle."

"Tang Hao, you really did me a huge favor this time."

After sighing inwardly, Lin Yuan did not let the joy of successfully looting Lin Tian go to his head.

He carefully stored Lin Tian's bloodstained clothes inside his Soul Tool storage ring.

Then he took out a brand-new Nording Academy uniform from inside and dressed Lin Tian in it.

Speaking of which, it was a new uniform he had ordered not long ago.

It counted as repayment for obtaining Lin Tian's techniques.

The next day, Xiao Wu came to Bamboo Ridge again. Tang San came with her.

Tang San had returned because Xiao Wu had not gone back to Holy Soul Village with him. Just like in the original story, after seeing the letter Tang Hao had left behind, he returned to the academy early the next morning.

There, he happened to see Xiao Wu, who had returned in a daze because Lin Tian had gone missing.

After receiving Father Lin's message, the two rushed over immediately.

When Xiao Wu saw Lin Tian's corpse, she wept miserably.

Tang San was somewhat saddened as well, but he felt more relieved and let out a breath of ease.

Because with Lin Tian dead, that unparalleled talent and strength could no longer threaten him.

Most importantly, without Lin Tian, Xiao Wu would belong to him alone from now on!
