Chapter 10: The Golden Jade Branch
Looking at Lin Hong and the others who were far away, Lin Xia walked towards Lin Dong and said with a smile: "Cousin Lin Dong, are you okay?"
"Well, thank you Sister Lin Xia. Lin Dong nodded, this Lin Xia and his father have been good to him since he was a child, so the relationship between the two is not bad, but Lin Xia has been diligent in cultivation over the years, and the communication is much less than when he was a child.
"I think you fought with Lin Shan just now, you should have reached the fourth level of quenching, right?" Lin Xia said with some surprise, but she knew that Lin Dong's cultivation time was less than a year, and in less than a year, he had reached the fourth level, and that speed was not slow.
"Take a fluke. "The fourth weight of quenching is not easy to hide, after all, this is manifested in the outermost part of the body, so Lin Dong did not hide it, and nodded at the moment.
"It seems that your father's cultivation talent has been inherited by you. Lin Xiajiao laughed, and immediately said: "But now you still have a big gap with Lin Hong, as far as I know, I am afraid that he reached the sixth level of the emerald body as early as three months ago, and the Yuan Force seed was derived from his body, so you try not to touch him hard, so as not to suffer a loss." ”
"Yes, I see. "Lin Dong didn't pretend to be strong, now he is indeed not Lin Hong's opponent, but he has the confidence to surpass him!
"Hehe, then you come on, I'm going back too, the half-year clan competition is almost coming, you have to work harder, your father values this clan competition very much." Lin Xiajiao smiled and patted Lin Dong's head, and then said hello to the two Qingtan on the side, and then turned around with a ponytail and walked away.
"Hehe, Sister Lin Xia is so majestic, even Lin Hong doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of her, grandpa likes her, and sometimes even martial arts are taught in person. Looking at Lin Xia's slender figure, Lin Changshu said with some envy.
"It's just that you're lazy. Lin Dong glanced at him, and then he didn't stop too much, led Qingtan, and turned away, Lin Changshu ran for a distance, and saw that the sky was dark, so he had to leave with some reluctance.
"Brother Lin Dong, I'm sorry, I won't secretly go to collect medicine in the future..."The two walked on the mountain road home, Qingtan pulled the corner of Lin Dong's clothes, and said pitifully.
"It's okay, when I get stronger in the future, no one will dare to bully you. Lin Dong, who originally wanted to blame, saw the girl's pitiful appearance, and the anger in his heart also weakened, he shook his head helplessly, and then patted his chest and smiled.
"I want to cultivate too. Qingtan straightened his nose and said suddenly.
"Didn't you say that you were afraid that cultivation would make people ugly?" Lin Dong said with a smile.
"What's the matter, don't you see that Sister Lin Xia is still so beautiful, if I can be like her, then Lin Hong won't dare to bully Brother Lin Dong. Qingtan spit out her little pink tongue, and suddenly it was a cute way.
Lin Dong shook his head with a smile, flicked his fingers on Qingtan's smooth forehead, and said, "Don't talk about today's events when you go back, you know?"
"Oh..."Qingtan's little face wrinkled, and her elongated voice echoed on the mountain road.
...
Although Lin Dong and Qingtan did not talk about the afternoon, it was obvious that they did not succeed in concealing the past.
"Did you fight with Brother Lin Shan again in the afternoon?" At dinner, Lin Xiao put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said lightly.
Hearing this, Lin Dong and Qingtan on the side suddenly tightened their bodies, and Liu Yan on the side also shook her head helplessly, and glanced at the two of them with disgust.
"Dad, it's not about Brother Lin Dong, it's me..."
Lin Xiao glanced at the two of them, there was not much fluctuation on his face, his eyes were just staring at Lin Dong, and said, "I heard, you defeated Lin Shan?"
Lin Dong shook his head, and could only smile and nod.
"Give me your hand. Seeing Lin Dong nodding, Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly fluctuated, he stretched out his broad palm, directly held the former's arm, and flicked it gently, and a joy finally appeared on his plain face: "The fourth weight of quenching?"
"Yes. Lin Dong nodded again.
"Haha, good!" was confirmed, Lin Xiao finally laughed out loud, and the laughter was full of relief and joy.
Looking at Lin Xiao, who was smiling so happily, Lin Dong was also relieved in his heart, it seemed that he would not be scolded...
Liu Yan on the side, seeing Lin Xiao laughing, couldn't help but smile, looking at Lin Dong with pampered eyes, she understood in her heart how much effort Lin Xiao had put into Lin Dong, in his opinion, he lost a genius for the Lin family back then, and also buried the hope of the Lin family, so he has a somewhat stubborn personality, and he has always wanted to return the Lin family to a genius all these years, and the genius he is looking forward to the most is naturally Lin Dong.
"It seems that you have only been promoted to the third level for about ten days, right?How can it be so fast?" In addition to joy, Lin Xiao suddenly said with a little doubt, in ten days, it is from the third level to the fourth level, and the speed is extremely fast, but Lin Dong, who did not rely on any elixir, how could there be such a fast speed?
"I don't know... Since the last time I ate that red ginseng, I feel that the effect seems to be much better when I usually cultivate. Hearing Lin Xiao ask about this, Lin Dong's heart jumped, and after hesitating in his heart for a while, he finally gave a little panic without changing his face, for some reason, he always felt that it was better not to expose the secret of the stone talisman at will, otherwise, I am afraid that there will be a big disaster.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Lin Xiao also frowned, red ginseng is just a first-grade elixir, how can it have such a great effect?
"Could it be that the body of the animal is particularly strong in absorbing the elixir? I have heard that some people are blessed with special talents, and the degree of absorption of the elixir by the body is far stronger than that of ordinary people. Liu Yan on the side said with a smile.
"Well, maybe that's why. Lin Xiao also nodded, he had heard of this kind of thing, but if Lin Dong really had such a strange physique, then with this cultivation speed, it would not be a fantasy.
"It seems that I was negligent before, if Dong'er really has this talent, it is not impossible to achieve good results in the clan competition. Lin Xiao smiled with relief, took out the palm of his hand in his arms, and then took out a roll of cloth towels, carefully spread it on the table, and suddenly a fragrance spread, and a pale golden dead branch appeared in the eyes of several people.
The dead branches are all golden, but in the goldenness, a faint green liquid can be seen flowing slowly in them, like chalcedony.
"It's... Second-grade elixir, golden jade branches?" Seeing the golden dead branches, Liu Yan suddenly covered his mouth and exclaimed.
"Is this a second-grade elixir?" Lin Dong also glanced at the golden withered branch curiously, and then skimmed the corners of his mouth without a trace, although this thing seems to be extraordinary, but it seems that the aura contained in it is still not as good as the mysterious liquid that seeps out of the stone rune.
"Hehe, I went to the mountains yesterday, and I was lucky to meet this thing, Liu Yan, and I will boil the golden jade branch tomorrow. Lin Xiao said with a smile, but before he could laugh for long, his face was slightly pale, and he coughed violently twice.
"Dad, I don't need it, you better take it and heal it. Seeing this, Lin Dong hurriedly said.
"It's okay, I met a difficult beast when I was taking the medicine, and I just used my blood to fight it, and it didn't get in the way, and my father's injuries have been so many years, and these elixirs have no big effect. Lin Xiao waved his hand and said, "There are still a few months, it is the clan competition, during this time, you should try to cultivate as much as possible, the matter of the elixir, my father will find a way." ”
Looking at the smile on Lin Xiao's face, who was usually quite stern, Lin Dong's eyes were a little red, and he immediately didn't say anything more, nodded lightly, and then he muttered to himself in his heart: "Dad, don't worry, I won't let you down." ”
"It's not too early, let's go rest first, and I'll have to practice tomorrow." Lin Xiao waved his hand and said.
"Yes. ”
Lin Dong responded, and then got off the table with Qing Tan, after walking out of the door, he could still hear Lin Xiao's hearty laughter inside, such laughter, they hadn't heard it for a long time...
The fist clenched gently, Lin Dong turned his head, and just wanted Qingtan to go back to rest, but when he saw the latter at this moment, a small face like pink carving and jade, but it suddenly turned white, and a trace of cold air visible to the naked eye slowly seeped out of his body, so that the ground near him was full of fine ice chips.
"Oops... The chill is back in again!"
Seeing Qingtan's sudden change, Lin Dong's complexion also changed suddenly.
