Little Marten, Are You Insulting Me?

Ironwood Manor!

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a powerful wave of Origin Power erupted from a room deep within the manor.

Everyone in Ironwood Manor was shaken by this fluctuation.

This was not a power that a Heavenly Yuan Realm expert could unleash.

Everyone's gaze turned towards the depths, where a massive vortex of Origin Power appeared in the air.

The Origin Power vortex, like a downward tornado, plunged directly into the house below.

This scene was too shocking.

"It's Yun'er's room!"

"Looking at this momentum, he's breaking through to the Core Formation Realm!"

"Our Lin Clan is finally going to have a Core Formation Realm expert."

Lin Zhentian, Lin Ken, and the others were incredibly excited.

At their age, nothing made them happier than seeing the younger generation of the clan excel. This represented the prosperity of the family.

When Lin Yun was in the Heavenly Yuan Realm, he was already capable of killing a Core Formation Realm Minor Perfection expert.

Now that he was breaking through to the Core Formation Realm, he could probably even fight against a Great Perfection of Core Formation Realm expert.

"Yun'er is so outstanding, how many stars will his Core Elixir reach?"

Lin Zhentian stared with fiery eyes, eagerly anticipating the quality of Lin Yun's Core Elixir.

As the Origin Power vortex was continuously absorbed, it shrank and condensed.

Finally, it transformed into a thumb-sized... Golden Core! The faint golden light that shot out made Lin Zhentian and the others think they had seen wrong, and they rubbed their eyes vigorously.

"How can this be? Isn't a Core Elixir supposed to be white?"

"Am I seeing things?"

The next second, the golden light disappeared!

Lin Yun in the room opened his mouth and swallowed the Golden Core.

"How strange, there are no star patterns?"

Lin Yun rubbed his head, feeling a bit confused. His Core Elixir was pure gold, round, full, smooth, and had no star patterns at all.

The quality of a Core Elixir condensed in the Core Formation Realm was generally judged by the number of star patterns on the Core Elixir, with one star being the lowest and nine stars being the highest.

"Golden Core, no star patterns, am I cultivating immortality?" Lin Yun smiled helplessly.

Although there were no so-called star patterns, Lin Yun was certain that his Core Elixir was very powerful.

It was understandable that a Core Elixir formed by the two strongest Yin and Yang energies would be a bit special.

[Mission: Break through to the Minor Core Elixir Realm. Reward: Physique +2, Root Bone +2, Charm +2. Completed, claim?]

"Claim!"

[Physique 32 (One in a thousand) -> Physique 34 (One in a thousand)]

[Root Bone 37 (One in a thousand) -> Root Bone 39 (One in a thousand)]

[Charm 33 (One in a thousand) -> Charm 35 (One in a thousand)]

"So comfortable!"

Lin Yun lay down and relaxed, letting the attribute energy transform his body, and groaned in pleasure.

...

"Sky Demon Marten?!"

Lin Dong's mind was in a daze. After a brief exchange, he knew that this mouse was called a Sky Demon Marten, but he didn't know what a Sky Demon Marten was.

It should be some kind of demonic beast. I'll ask Brother Lin Yun later. He has raised so many pet beasts, he should know... Lin Dong thought of Lin Yun in his heart. He was still a little uneasy and distrustful of this mouse he had just met.

Although this guy claimed to be a marten, he had a rat-like face. He looked like a cunning fellow at first glance.

Can't trust him! The key is that the Stone Talisman is his most precious item. With such a hidden danger in it, he doesn't feel at ease using it.

Compared to being by Brother Lin Yun's side, Lin Dong felt more secure.

"Someone outside has broken through. The momentum is quite strong, and his Core Elixir is very special, it's actually golden. That person should be called Lin Yun, right? He's much more powerful than you."

"The Stone Talisman should have chosen him!"

Little Marten's mental perception was more acute than Lin Dong's. Although he was in the Stone Talisman, he was well aware of what was happening in Ironwood Manor. He saw the process of Lin Yun's breakthrough, which truly surprised him.

One had to know that at his level, it was almost impossible to find a Core Formation Realm expert who could surprise him.

And in this small Qingyang Town, such a special existence had actually appeared.

"Did Brother Lin Yun break through?"

Lin Dong was pleasantly surprised. He stared intently at Little Marten, not even bothering to pay attention to what was happening outside.

"Right, why did you tell him about the Stone Talisman?" Little Marten recalled Lin Dong showing the Stone Talisman to Lin Yun in the underground rock cave earlier.

"He's my brother, the person I trust the most!" Lin Dong said without hesitation.

Little Marten said with a serious expression, "Kid, you still don't know how important the existence of the Stone Talisman is. Let me warn you, it's best not to let anyone know about this thing, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. No matter if it's for the good of the people around you, don't tell anyone."

"Consequences? What serious consequences?" Lin Dong couldn't help but ask curiously.

Seeing how serious and concerned this rat looked, it didn't seem like he was lying.

"Look at the state Lord Marten is in now, that's the consequence of exposing the Stone Talisman back then."

Little Marten said with a hint of melancholy,

"You probably can't imagine how powerful Lord Marten was back then. Someone like you, Lord Marten could kill a hundred and eight thousand of you with a single fart."

"So, if you expose the Stone Talisman, not only will your life be in danger, but your entire clan and even the entire Great Yan Dynasty will be buried with you."

Lin Dong frowned tightly, then immediately said, "It's that serious? Then I have even more reason to tell Brother Lin Yun!"

"You..."

Little Marten was almost angered to the point of spitting out a demon spirit.

However, when he thought of Lin Yun, he was also incredibly curious. That kid, he couldn't see through him.

They were both in the Core Formation Realm, but Lin Yun's Origin Power was terrifyingly strong, even stronger than his Sky Demon power when he was young.

One must know that the Sky Demon Marten clan could even tear apart dragon clans, and yet this power couldn't compare to a human.

"Don't worry, Brother Lin Yun won't harm me. If I can't even trust Brother Lin Yun, there's no one in this world worth trusting." Lin Dong comforted Little Marten.

Mainly, what Little Marten said was too serious. The Stone Talisman could actually bring about the destruction of their clan. He felt like he couldn't handle it alone.

He needed Brother Lin Yun's help! Since exposing it would also affect Brother Lin Yun, telling him was fine. Besides, he had already shown the Stone Talisman in his palm to Lin Yun before. Although Lin Yun didn't delve into the secret of the Stone Talisman, he knew of its existence.

If Lin Yun didn't take it seriously and accidentally let it slip, it would be bad.

It was better to tell Lin Yun about the seriousness of the Stone Talisman and let him know to keep it a secret.

He could also help him protect the Stone Talisman.

Lin Dong greatly admired Lin Yun's strength, which gave him an unparalleled sense of security.

Of course, as he said before, compared to this seemingly sinister and cunning rat, he trusted his Brother Lin Yun more.

...

"Brother Lin Yun, it's him, this rat!"

In Lin Yun's room, after Lin Dong recounted what had just happened to Lin Yun, he forcibly summoned Little Marten from the Stone Talisman.

A marten shadow, entirely black but with a hint of purple light, and some mysterious runes on its forehead, floated in mid-air. He stared blankly at Lin Yun.

"Sky Demon Marten? Never heard of it?" Lin Yun shook his head, finding it amusing. So this was what Little Marten looked like when he was down and out. He did look like a rat.

"Hmph, Lord Marten won't bother with your ignorance."

Little Marten snorted coldly and reminded him again, "It was Lin Dong who insisted on telling you about the Stone Talisman. I'm warning you, it's best not to expose the Stone Talisman, otherwise it will bring about your demise."

"An innocent man is guilty because of his wealth."

"Don't worry, we're not that foolish."

Lin Yun said seriously.

"Although Lord Marten is reluctant to admit it, you are indeed outstanding. Whether among humans or across the entire continent, there are few in the same realm who can reach your level."

Little Marten looked at Lin Yun with appreciation, "If you can help Lord Marten recover his physique, Lord Marten will owe you a favor."

"A favor?" Lin Yun murmured, "You're a marten, owing a marten favor is completely unnecessary!"

Little Marten rolled his eyes.

However, he suddenly had an idea, "Didn't you raise quite a few demon beasts? Lord Marten can help you train them."

"Okay, you can give it a try. I'll see your performance. If you train them well, I'll help you!"

Lin Yun nodded, then suddenly said,

"By the way, I just got a new purple sable, it's female. Don't try anything with her. Teacher-student relationships are forbidden here."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey... What kind of foolish marten, rustic marten, ignorant marten do you think Lord Marten is, to be interested in just any kind of creature!"

Little Marten glared at Lin Yun with disdain and indignation.

A dignified Sky Demon Marten being interested in a rustic marten? This was an insult to him! ...

After the battle with the Bloodcloth Sect! The Lin Clan did not keep a low profile, but instead extensively recruited soldiers and horses.

At Lin Yun's instruction, the bandit leaders led by Xiong Wei also secretly pledged allegiance to the Lin Clan, becoming the Lin Clan's external force.

Lin Yun also gave Lin Zhentian the locations of several explored ore veins, allowing the Lin Clan to send people to excavate them.

The demon beasts around those ore veins had already been cleared out by Bao Zhen and the Three Little Tigers earlier, so the Lin Clan could mine with peace of mind.

Now, the Lin Clan had three Yang Yuan Stone mines alone, not counting the iron mines.

After settling matters within the clan.

Lin Yun was preparing to make a trip to Flame City.

For the Lin Clan to continue expanding, the next step was to enter Flame City.

He had to pave the way in advance.

Moreover, after reaching the Core Formation Realm, staying in Qingyang Town made it difficult to improve further.

There was also the quest system, which required larger monsters to complete quests.

Changing to a larger map was imperative.
