Chapter4:domineering cultivation method

Here's the English translation:

"Outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!" At this moment, Lin Xionghai clenched his fists, his face contorted with veins bulging. He could hardly believe that Lin Che had the audacity to openly betray the family!

"If your talent really recovers, I would have considered giving you another chance, but since you are so ungrateful now, don't blame me for disregarding our past relationship!"

"Master Uncle." At that moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Come in." Lin Xionghai quickly concealed his gloomy expression and said.

A young man with a commanding presence walked in. This was Lin Yu.

"Hahaha, so it's Yu'er who has arrived." Lin Xionghai displayed a kind smile.

"Master Uncle, it seems I made a mistake. I sent Elder Brother Lin Che to Mount Xingshan, intending for him to oversee the matter, but Zhao Hu misinterpreted my intentions and provoked Elder Brother Lin Che… I have severely punished Zhao Hu and came to explain the situation to Master Uncle. Please, Master Uncle, reduce the punishment," Lin Yu said with an apologetic expression.

Lin Xionghai glanced at him and then smiled, "Hehe… Yu'er, you are now the young master of the Lin family. Such a trivial order does not need an explanation to me, does it?"

"Oh?" Lin Yu's eyes twinkled as he tentatively asked, "I heard that Elder Brother Lin Che's cultivation might have recovered. Is it true… Hahaha, if so, it would truly be a blessing for our Lin family."

Although Lin Yu spoke this way, he was deeply troubled. If Lin Che's cultivation had indeed recovered, given his prestige in the Lin family, Lin Yu's position as young master might be relinquished even before he had settled into it. Moreover, considering Lin Che's personality, this time, if Lin Yu showed his fangs and took advantage of Lin Che's misfortune, Lin Che would not let him off easily. Therefore, Lin Yu hurriedly came to understand Lin Xionghai's stance.

"Indeed, Lin Che's cultivation has recovered somewhat, but his rebellious nature and unyielding attitude have caused me to be thoroughly disappointed. I have expelled him from the family, and from now on, he has nothing to do with the Lin family…"

"What! This…" Lin Yu was ecstatic upon hearing this but feigned a look of shock.

Lin Xionghai, being astute, knew Lin Yu's intentions for coming. He patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said meaningfully, "Yu'er, no matter what, Lin Che's bloodline does not belong to our Lin family. You are the true heir of the Lin family. For hundreds of years, the Lin family's heritage will not be handed over to an outsider."

"From the beginning to the end, Lin Che was merely a chess piece of the Lin family… You are the true member of the Lin family. I have always had high expectations of you."

"In a month, the sect selection battle will take place, and the foremost power in Yangzhou, Dao Cang Academy, will come to Canglan City to select disciples. If you can join Dao Cang Academy, it will bring infinite glory to the Lin family and elevate the Lin family to unprecedented heights. Therefore, all the hopes of the Lin family are now on you."

"I will also issue orders to open all the Lin family's resources, armory, and combat skills pavilion to you during this time. You must work hard and bring honor to our Lin family."

"Really… really? Thank you, Master Uncle. Yu'er will not disappoint you and will not let the Lin family down!" Hearing Lin Xionghai's promise, Lin Yu was immediately thrilled.

"Alright, if there is nothing else, you may go and continue your training."

"Yes, I take my leave."

Watching Lin Yu leave, Lin Xionghai took out the letter Lin Che had left and, with a wave of his hand, turned it into powder. After a long silence, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

In the Shenfeng Mountain Range.

Located several hundred miles outside Canglan City, the mountain range was majestic with towering ancient trees, presenting a primitive scene. It was a paradise for妖兽 (demonic beasts) and a place of adventure for many explorers, filled with various opportunities.

At this moment, a young man with a long sword on his back appeared here. This person was Lin Che.

A few days ago, Lin Che left the Lin family, arranging for Xiao Yao to stay in a nearby town, while he came alone to this place. The mysterious woman in the ancient jade space had said that after Lin Che's foundation was rebuilt, he should look for heavenly materials and treasures to consume. Thus, Lin Che immediately thought of this place.

"This is a Tier 3 spirit herb… Heavenly Dragon Fruit!" After advancing dozens of miles into Shenfeng Mountain Range, Lin Che made a surprising discovery.

Ahead, on a vine resembling a dragon, there was a dragon-eye-sized fruit glowing with a green light. The fruit was snow-white, and even from a distance, one could feel the rich spiritual energy it contained.

"My luck is incredible! I just entered Shenfeng Mountain Range, and I found such a treasure… This Heavenly Dragon Fruit seems to have just ripened."

Lin Che's mouth curled into a broad smile as he walked towards the Heavenly Dragon Fruit. But just then, Lin Che suddenly sensed a dangerous aura locking onto him.

Lin Che looked ahead cautiously and saw a pair of blood-red beast eyes, emitting a bloodthirsty light, staring intently at him.

Crimson Moon Demon Wolf!

Lin Che furrowed his brows and thought, "I almost forgot. In such a wild place, heavenly materials and treasures usually have guardian demonic beasts…" An adult Crimson Moon Demon Wolf was equivalent to a fifth-tier demonic beast, comparable to a human warrior at the fifth level of Qi Gathering.

The Crimson Moon Demon Wolf in front of Lin Che was about a meter tall, with sharp fangs and smooth muscular lines indicating explosive strength, clearly having reached adulthood.

"Roar—"

The Crimson Moon Demon Wolf and Lin Che faced off for a while. Eventually, the wolf lost patience, let out a roar, and launched a fierce attack on Lin Che.

Its massive body suddenly transformed into a streak of light, with a vicious claw aimed at Lin Che's head.

Seeing this, Lin Che remained exceptionally calm.

Although his cultivation had fallen, his battle instincts and experience from countless life-and-death fights in the past still remained.

Swish!

With a sound like a dragon's roar, Lin Che drew his sword in a swift arc. At the same time, his internal Qi Sea surged, and his true energy concentrated at the tip of the sword.

The sword strike was as fast as lightning and as fierce as a storm.

"Clang—"

"Puchi!"

The Crimson Moon Demon Wolf's attack was quick, but Lin Che's sword was faster. Before the wolf could land, the sword tip had already sliced through its throat.

A stream of blood spurted out!

With a thunderous crash, the massive body of the Crimson Moon Demon Wolf hit the ground, causing the earth to shake.

The sword strike was decisive and clean.

Lin Che was quite satisfied with the result.

"Didn't expect that even after not fighting for a year, I'm still so brave and fierce." Lin Che murmured, feeling nostalgic for the thrill of battle.

"Thicker-skinned than a city wall, truly shameless…"

Just as Lin Che finished speaking, the mysterious woman's disdainful voice echoed in his mind.

Lin Che's mouth twitched slightly, but he had long been accustomed to the woman's telepathic communication.

After picking the Heavenly Dragon Fruit, Lin Che asked, "Senior Tian Nu, you told me to look for heavenly materials and treasures. What should I do next?"

"Swallow it," the mysterious woman replied succinctly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Che was startled. The Heavenly Dragon Fruit was a spirit herb, and being of a high grade, its energy was extremely violent. Swallowing it directly could result in the destruction of his Qi Sea.

Typically, there were two methods for dealing with such resources. One was to have a prestigious alchemist refine it into a consumable pill, and the other was to spend a lot of time slowly refining it.

"Senior Tian Nu, if I swallow it directly, my Qi Sea might not withstand it," Lin Che expressed his concern.

"Do you have a Qi Sea?" the mysterious woman countered.

Lin Che was taken aback.

Right, his Qi Sea had completely shattered and was now replaced by the Qi Sea.

"I've already said that the Qi Sea is a constraint for warriors. Only in such a primitive world would one use such barbaric methods for cultivation… Trust me, swallowing it will be very sweet," the mysterious woman's voice was seductive, like a bad sister tempting a young boy.

"Alright…"

Lin Che gritted his teeth and, after some hesitation, swallowed the Heavenly Dragon Fruit in one bite.

"Boom!"

Once the fruit entered his stomach, a violent energy erupted inside Lin Che. At that moment, his Qi Sea began to surge, as if it were long-awaited rain on parched soil, instantly absorbing all the energy.

Simultaneously, Lin Che's aura, from the initial stage of Qi Gathering Fifth Level, advanced directly to the peak, seemingly just one step away from reaching the Sixth Level of Qi Gathering.

At this moment, Lin Che was stunned. He could not have imagined such a domineering cultivation method.

He finally understood the advantage of the Qi Sea over the Qi Dan. It was time.

What other cultivators might spend months refining the Heavenly Dragon Fruit, he could accomplish in an instant.

Moreover, even the most skilled alchemist could only retain a portion of the essence of the spirit herb when refining it into a pill. But Lin Che could feel that his Qi Sea absorbed the entire essence of the herb, with no waste at all.

If this were to spread, it would definitely shock the world!

"If others have a small pond, then now in front of me is an endless ocean with boundless possibilities?" Lin Che murmured in a daze.

"Yes, you have limitless potential," the mysterious woman said.

"But still, let's set a small goal first, like leaving this world…"

"Uh…"

The mysterious woman's words brought Lin Che back to reality.

Yes, he was just a young man who hadn't even left Canglan City. Even with such a heaven-defying cultivation method, he was just beginning.

The road ahead would undoubtedly be fraught with many difficulties and obstacles.

"Continue…" Lin Che calmed his emotions and decided to continue exploring Shenfeng Mountain Range.

But compared to before, he was now filled with confidence. With such a domineering cultivation method, recovering to his previous level of cultivation within a month seemed not so difficult after all…
