[Ding! You touched Lin Dong and obtained a third-grade spiritual medicine, Red Sun Ganoderma!]

—

A third-grade elixir? Not bad! 

Hearing the system's reward, Lin Tian was delighted, and then he pretended to reach into his arms to take something out, retrieving the Red Sun Ganoderma from the system space.

Lin Dong looked at the elixir in Lin Tian's hand, his eyes lit up. "Brother Lin Tian, what kind of elixir is this?"

"This is the third-grade spiritual medicine Red Sun Ganoderma. I came to you because I want you to purify it," Lin Tian replied as he handed the Red Sun Ganoderma to Lin Dong.

"What should I do?" Although Lin Dong knew that the stone talisman could purify elixirs, he didn't know how to operate it.

Lin Tian didn't rush to answer. "Let's go to the cave we often visit first to avoid being discovered."

"Yeah, okay," Lin Dong had no objection.

Soon, the two arrived at the cave where Lin Dong found the stone talisman.

Lin Tian then instructed Lin Dong, "Take the Red Sun Ganoderma in your hand, and use your other hand to take out the stone talisman. Bring the two together, and don't worry about the rest."

Lin Dong nodded and did as he was told.

When Red Sun Ganoderma got within an inch of the stone talisman, a strong suction force suddenly burst forth from the stone talisman!

Then, Red Sun Ganoderma shot directly at the stone talisman and disappeared in an instant! 

"Brother Lin Tian, this..."

When Lin Dong saw this scene, he was stunned and a little embarrassed.

This stone talisman seems to have swallowed Lin Tian's elixir? 

Lin Tian smiled slightly. "No hurry; just watch."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong stared at the stone talisman without blinking.

Suddenly, a red-gold light flashed at the location of the groove on the stone talisman.

The light became more intense, and in the end, it condensed into two bean-sized red-gold pills, which then rolled down!

Lin Tian was well prepared. He stretched out his hand and took the two pills. Then he looked at Lin Dong and said, "Do you understand now?"

"This pill should be condensed by Ancestral Stone using the previous Red Sun Ganoderma. What just happened was the process of Ancestral Stone purifying the elixir."

From the pill, Lin Dong smelled the same scent as the Red Sun Ganoderma. Combined with the previous scene, he quickly understood everything.

Lin Tian nodded slightly. "Yes, in the future, if you get a spiritual medicine of the third grade or above, you can use the method I just showed you to purify it into pills. If the grade is too low, purification will not be of much use."

Lin Dong's eyes lit up. "I'll remember that."

"Okay, put the stone talisman away," Lin Tian said to Lin Dong with a smile.

After Lin Dong put away the stone talisman, Lin Tian held one of the pills and handed it to Lin Dong. "Here, one pill for each of us."

Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "No, this is the third-grade elixir that you found, Brother Lin Tian. I can't take it."

Lin Tian's face turned serious, and he said in a deep voice, "Lin Dong, do you treat me as an outsider? Then I won't ask you for help when I find elixirs in the future."

"This… Okay, I'll take it." Seeing this, Lin Dong said quickly, "From now on, whenever Brother Lin Tian finds a spiritual medicine, you can always ask me for help in purifying it."

"That's more like it." Lin Tian nodded slightly and then smiled. "However, spiritual medicines above the third grade are not easy to find."

"Hehe," Lin Dong smiled and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

Lin Tian said, "Although you and I are not brothers, we are better than brothers. The road of martial arts is long and difficult. We need to support each other to go smoother and further!"

Lin Dong said solemnly, "Brother Lin Tian, don't worry; I understand. From now on, we will share the good times and the bad times together!"

"Haha, good brother!" Lin Tian smiled slightly and reached out to pat Lin Dong's shoulder.

In an instant, the system prompt sounded again in his mind.

—

[Ding! You touched Lin Dong and obtained ten Body Tempering Pills!]

—

Lin Tian was delighted. He hadn't received any rewards in the previous half-month, but now he got two rewards at once. He was lucky!

In a happy mood, Lin Tian took out five Body Tempering Pills and handed them to Lin Dong. "I almost forgot; I also got a pill used in the Body Tempering Realm before; these five are for you."

"This… Thank you, Brother Lin Tian." Lin Dong wanted to refuse, but thinking of what Lin Tian had said before, he accepted it.

Lin Dong felt even more grateful to Lin Tian and made up his mind to repay Lin Tian in the future.

"We are brothers, so let's not be polite to each other," Lin Tian smiled and continued, "It is best to take one of these Body Tempering Pills every five days. Of course, it also depends on how well your body can adapt to it."

"As for the pill extracted from the Red Sun Ganoderma, wait until you have cultivated to the sixth level of Body Tempering before taking it."

"Also, when you reach the sixth level of Body Tempering and the energy seed is born in your body, you can try injecting the energy into the stone talisman. Then, you can hide the stone talisman in your body and better keep the secret of the stone talisman."

"Okay, I'll remember that," Lin Dong said cheerfully, nodding his head in agreement.

Lin Tian chatted with Lin Dong for a few more moments and then parted ways with him.

In the following time, Lin Tian continued to use the Body Tempering Pill to practice, and from time to time, he would draw prizes or something.

If he came across a spiritual medicine of the third grade or above, Lin Tian would ask Lin Dong for help to purify the spiritual medicine into pills, and then the two of them would split it in half and use the pills to practice.

There is no time limit for cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, more than five months had passed.

The day of the Lin family competition had officially arrived!

In more than five months, with the help of Body Tempering Pills and Spiritual Medicine Pills, Lin Tian's cultivation had reached the ninth level of Body Tempering!

The main reason for this is that as the cultivation level increases, the efficiency of the Body Tempering Pill decreases. Otherwise, Lin Tian would have already broken through to the Earthly Realm!

Of course, while improving his cultivation, Lin Tian did not forget to practice martial arts.

For Lin Tian, who possessed extraordinary comprehension, practicing martial arts was extremely easy.

In addition to the Penetrating Fist, Lin Tian also practiced the Eight Desolate Palm and the Stone-Splitting Kick, and he practiced them all to perfection.

In fact, there were more martial arts that could be practiced, but Lin Tian felt there was no need to learn too many low-level martial arts!

This morning.

After the family had breakfast, Lin Xiao brought Lin Tian, Lin Dong, and Qing Tan to the clan competition trial hall and went straight to the VIP seats.

In the past five months, Lin Xiao's injuries had healed. With the help of Lin Tian and Lin Dong, his cultivation had surpassed his previous level and reached the limit of the Heavenly Yuan Stage!

Today, Lin Xiao was already the strongest in the Lin family. He had swept away his decadent state and had become energetic again!

The Lin family had considerable influence in Qingyang Town, so many guests came to watch the clan competition.

When Lin Tian and his companions arrived, everyone looked at their leader Lin Xiao, and their expressions changed slightly.

There was almost no one in Qingyang Town who didn't know Lin Xiao.

During the few years that Lin Xiao had been seriously injured, he had basically not shown up in the Lin family.

Even if he occasionally attended, he only stood in a corner.

In the eyes of everyone, Lin Xiao's actions today were somewhat unusual! 

Sitting in the middle of the VIP seats, Lin Mang and his son also noticed the arrival of Lin Xiao and his family.

Lin Shan shrank his head slightly, and Lin Hong looked at Lin Tian provocatively.

Lin Mang looked in the direction of Lin Xiao, frowning slightly.

When Lin Xiao passed by Lin Mang, Lin Mang suddenly smiled, holding a teacup in his hand, and said casually, "Third brother, why are you willing to leave your place this time?"
