Chapter 24: White Tiger Pill, Everyone’s Advancement!

Chapter 24: White Tiger Pill, Everyone's Advancement!

Roar!

At that moment, a fiery red figure suddenly leapt down from the ridge above the valley, letting out a deep tiger roar.

As soon as the roar echoed through the mountains, the commotion from the beast packs in the forest abruptly ceased—not a single wild beast charged forward.

"Seems the Fire Python Tiger really has this kind of ability…"

Lin Zhentian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Lin Xiao and Lin Ken ramped up their offensive. One in front, the other behind—they swiftly took down the remaining Black Iron Demon Leopard!

From the clifftop, Xiao Yan let out a low growl and leapt down the steep slope, arriving at the corpses of the two leopards. He bared his fangs and began tearing into the remains.

Before long, he located and swallowed two black demon crystals, coiling his tongue around them and gulping them down.

"This Fire Python Tiger is smarter than it looks…" Lin Zhentian murmured in amazement.

Lin Fan stepped forward and patted Xiao Yan's back, smiling. "Xiao Yan's quite intelligent. Aside from not being able to speak, I'd say he's on par with a human."

[Ding! You touched the Fire Python Tiger and obtained one White Tiger Pill!

Note: When consumed by a beast, grants 10% White Tiger bloodline.]

Huh?

White Tiger bloodline?

Lin Fan's heart stirred, though he kept his expression neutral.

Just then, Lin Ken walked over, his eyes gleaming. "Father, now that the leopards are dealt with, can we begin mining the vein?"

"Mm," Lin Zhentian nodded with a wide smile. "Tomorrow, I'll send Lin Mang to Yan City to reach out to a few merchants. Once we start extracting the Yang Essence Stones, we'll immediately begin selling."

No one disagreed with the plan.

Thus, the matter was decided.

To ensure security at Tiemu Manor, Lin Zhentian ordered Lin Xiao to remain as the overseer.

Lin Fan, Lin Dong, and Qingtan also stayed temporarily at the manor.

Not long after, Liu Yan joined them as well.

That evening, Lin Fan met with Lin Dong and had him use his stone talisman to refine the Tianyuan Fruit into two pills. The two split one each.

Later, Lin Fan found Qingtan and handed her the White Tiger Pill.

Qingtan looked at it curiously. "Lin Fan-ge, what kind of pill is this?"

"It's for Huo'er. Once it consumes this pill, it will enhance its bloodline. Its growth potential will far surpass the Heaven Origin Stage."

"Really? Thank you, Lin Fan-ge!"

Qingtan lit up with joy. "I'll give it to Huo'er right away! I hope she grows up fast and beats Xiao Yan!"

She didn't wait a second longer and fed the pill to Huo'er.

Roar!

After swallowing the pill, Huo'er let out a pained growl, thrashing on the ground as if trying to relieve the pain.

Qingtan looked worried. "Lin Fan-ge… will she be okay?"

"Don't worry. She'll be fine."

Lin Fan reassured her, though he kept a close eye on Huo'er.

Half an hour later, Huo'er finally calmed down. Her eyes had become noticeably more intelligent.

Even her body had grown significantly, now nearly matching Xiao Yan in size.

Sensing her condition, Lin Fan determined she now possessed strength equivalent to the late Earth Origin Stage.

Of course, this wasn't the full effect of the White Tiger Pill.

Huo'er's current cultivation was too low to fully absorb its power. As she grew, the 10% White Tiger bloodline would gradually awaken.

"Huo'er, are you okay?" Qingtan gently stroked her neck.

Roar!

Huo'er let out a soft growl and even shook her head.

"Wow! Huo'er, you're smarter now!" Qingtan squealed with delight.

Then she added, "Huo'er, remember this—Lin Fan-ge gave you that pill. Everything you are now is thanks to him. If you grow stronger one day, don't forget what he did for you!"

Roar!

Huo'er gave another growl and nodded in response.

Qingtan beamed. "See, Lin Fan-ge? Huo'er understands me! She can nod and shake her head now!"

Lin Fan smiled. "I saw it. She's clearly gotten smarter—and she's already at late Earth Origin level now."

"Hehe, that means I can ride her now too!" Qingtan clapped in delight.

Lin Fan chuckled but didn't say anything to dampen her mood.

In the days that followed, Lin Fan stayed at Tiemu Manor and focused on his training. With an ample supply of Yang Essence Pills, and frequent herbal pill gifts from Lin Dong, his progress was rapid.

Two months passed in a flash.

During that time, Lin Fan advanced from early to mid Heaven Origin Stage.

His growth speed stunned even Lin Zhentian and Lin Xiao.

After the shock came deep joy.

Lin Dong had also made great strides, reaching late Earth Origin Stage.

Qingtan broke through from Body Tempering Level Nine to the Earth Origin Stage.

But the biggest surprise of all came from Lin Xiao—after months of cultivation, he finally broke through from late Heaven Origin to Yuan Dan Stage!

Though only at the Small Yuan Dan Realm, it still made him the undisputed number one expert in Qingyang Town.

With a Yuan Dan Stage cultivator like Lin Xiao holding the line, the Lin family's strength rose tremendously.

Now, the Lin family boasted Lin Xiao, their Yuan Dan expert, plus Lin Zhentian, Lin Ken, Lin Mang, and Lin Fan—four Heaven Origin cultivators.

They were unquestionably the most powerful force in Qingyang Town.

That evening, the family gathered for dinner. Afterward, Lin Xiao spoke up:

"In the past two months, the family has mined nearly 500 Yang Essence Stones. Your grandfather has decided—tomorrow, we'll transport 300 of them to Yan City to exchange for Yang Essence Pills."

"He asked me to check—do you want to go along and broaden your horizons?"

"I do!" Lin Dong replied immediately.

Yan City was the closest major city to Qingyang Town and held considerable fame within the Great Yan Dynasty.

The youthful Lin Dong was eager to see its bustling streets.

Lin Fan thought of Master Yan, Wonder Treasure Pavilion, and the Ten Thousand Gold Chamber of Commerce, and smiled. "I'll go too. Sooner or later, I'll have to set foot beyond Qingyang Town."

Not wanting to be left behind, Qingtan raised her hand. "Dad, I want to go too!"

Lin Xiao smiled. "Alright, the three of you can go. But Yan City isn't like Qingyang Town. The factions there are more complex."

"When you arrive, make sure to listen to your grandfather and uncle. Be careful not to stir up trouble."

"Yes, Uncle (Dad)!"

The three answered in unison, then glanced at one another—grinning broadly.
