Inside the room, Lin Dong sat cross-legged in quiet meditation, his eyes tightly shut. Ripples of energy emanated from around his body as streams of Yuan Power separated from the heavens and earth, continuously absorbed into his body through his skin.
At this moment, Lin Dong's mind was within his Dantian. Stepping into the Heavenly Yuan Stage today had brought about some changes in his Dantian.
Originally, the mass of Yuan Power, having absorbed the Yin Sha Qi from Qing Tan's body, had a dark blue hue, and within this Yuan Power was a strong, chilling Yin energy.
However, with his entry into the Heavenly Yuan Stage today, Lin Dong could now absorb Yang Gang Qi from the heavens and earth. This Yang Gang Qi and Yin Sha Qi possessed completely different attributes: one was pure and unyielding Yang, the other was chilling and icy Yin. When these two extremes manifested together, they were like water and fire, utterly incompatible.
Within Lin Dong's Dantian, the majority of the Yuan Power mass was still dark blue, with only a tiny bit of red appearing. However, this red Yuan Power was truly minuscule compared to the dark blue.
The two colors, red and blue, intertwined within the Dantian, distinctly separate.
Lin Dong's mind gazed at this scene within his Dantian, and he could only shake his head helplessly. The Yin Sha Qi within his Dantian was already exceptionally sharp, and although he had recently absorbed Yang Gang Qi, it was merely an ordinary kind. This clearly could not contend with the Yin Sha Qi.
"To reach the late Heavenly Yuan Stage, one must balance the Yin and Yang energies within the body. Only then can they truly fuse further to form Yin Yang Jiao Tai and condense into a Dan."
As this thought flashed through his mind, Lin Dong's tightly shut eyes slowly opened, a wry smile appearing on his face. It turned out that absorbing too much of that extremely sharp Yin Sha Qi also had its drawbacks. After all, his Yin Sha Qi could be directly obtained from Qing Tan, but what about Yang Gang Qi? Where would he find Yang Gang Qi that could contend with the Yin Sha Qi from Qing Tan's body?
One must know that the Yin Pearl that could condense within Qing Tan's body was due to the Yin Sha Qi reaching the fifth level. Moreover, Lin Dong had later directly taught Qing Tan how to cultivate, further increasing the density of the Yin Sha Qi. While this indeed allowed Lin Dong, at the Earth Yuan Stage, to dare to fight a Heavenly Yuan Stage early-stage expert like Wu Sha, it also made him deeply realize the difficulty of the Heavenly Yuan Stage...
"I must continue to find a way to obtain some special Yang Gang Qi! Otherwise, if I only absorb ordinary Yang Gang Qi from the heavens and earth to achieve balance, who knows how many years it will take?"
Lin Dong sighed and stood up. For the past half month, he had almost daily entertained this thought, but how could special Yang Gang Qi be so easily obtained? Even people like Lin Zhen Tian only absorbed ordinary Yang Gang Qi from the heavens and earth. So, for the past half month, Lin Dong had thought of many methods, but they had all been in vain.
Thinking of this, Lin Dong couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, then temporarily suppressed the thought. With a flick of his hand, ten streaks of black light shot out from his sleeve, finally hovering around his body.
If one looked closely at these black lights, they were originally ten short, two-fingered, pitch-black, and sharp shuttles. These shuttles were a little over an inch long, appearing as tiny conical shapes with razor-sharp, slightly serrated tips. Though small, one glance was enough to tell that these tiny objects were true weapons.
The black shuttles whizzed around Lin Dong's body. If there were a Talisman Master skilled in mental energy here, they might be able to sense that these shuttles were enveloped by an invisible layer of mental energy, which was also the reason they could move and levitate freely.
Lin Dong looked at these black lights beside him, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Ever since Master Yan in Yan City taught him to cultivate the "Divine Movement Heaven," his mental energy had clearly grown day by day. Moreover, these shuttles were made from the Shattered Origin Profound Steel, spoils of war from the Black Dragon Stronghold half a month ago. Lin Dong found controlling them quite smooth sailing.
Lin Dong called these shuttles "Shattered Origin Shuttles." They were very effective at penetrating Yuan Power, making them extremely suitable for self-defense or, at the very least, for sneak attacks. Furthermore, Lin Dong's mental energy secretly controlling the "Shattered Origin Shuttles" undoubtedly meant he was concealing a deadly trump card.
"Whoosh!"
The Shattered Origin Shuttles circled around Lin Dong. Suddenly, Lin Dong's arm swung, and the ten black lights instantly shot out, end to end, with fierce momentum. They finally produced a crisp sound as they struck a thigh-thick pillar in the room, embedding themselves half an inch deep!
With such force, if they were to strike a human body, blood would likely gush like a spring.
Seeing this scene, Lin Dong nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of his arm, the Shattered Origin Shuttles automatically flew back, being collected into his sleeve.
After finishing all this, Lin Dong pushed open the door. As the door opened, a clamor of sounds entered his ears. Busy figures continuously moved in and out of the mine, bringing out newly excavated Yang Yuan Stones.
"Young Master Lin Dong!"
Upon seeing Lin Dong emerge, both the guards and the miners stopped, their expressions extremely respectful. During this period, the news of Lin Dong defeating Wu Sha had spread like wildfire. Everyone understood that the previously unassuming young man was, in fact, the one with the most terrifying potential in the Lin family.
Lin Dong smiled and nodded in response to their respectful greetings. Due to his advancement into the Heavenly Yuan Stage, he also had to share the heavy responsibilities of the family. Therefore, Lin Zhentian directly entrusted him with overseeing the ore vein at Ironwood Manor.
Of course, "overseeing" didn't actually require Lin Dong to do anything. It was merely to occasionally check the amount of ore excavated. After all, experienced stewards would handle the other matters.
Lin Dong stood on a rock, watching the figures entering the mountains to mine, and nodded slightly. With increasingly skilled excavation, the monthly output had now increased severalfold. Compared to the Lin family's profits then and now, it was truly a world of difference.
After a brief inspection, Lin Dong was about to return to the previous page, but just as the thought crossed his mind, he noticed a sudden commotion at the entrance of the mine. He immediately raised his eyebrows and said to Qin Ying, who was not far away: "Uncle Qin Ying, go and see what happened?"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Qin Ying nodded, then quickly walked towards the mine entrance. A moment later, he hurried back.
"Young Master Lin Dong, a miner who was extracting Yang Yuan Stone seems to have dug up something..." Qin Ying said in a low voice after returning to Lin Dong's side. You are reading the story at Truyen FULL – www.Truyen FULL
"Oh? Then let's go take a look."
Lin Dong was startled, then whistled, and Xiao Yan, who was sunbathing on a rock, immediately darted down.
Seeing that Lin Dong wanted to go down into the mine himself, Qin Ying also quickly waved his hand. A dozen expert guards immediately surrounded him, and then accompanied Lin Dong into the mine.
The mine, after half a year of excavation, now appeared spacious. Furthermore, because this place was once a volcano a long time ago, there were many narrow passages within the mountain. There were so many of these passages that even the old miners here could not fully know them all.
Under the guidance of the foreman, the group quickly entered the mine, following two winding paths. After advancing through many branching tunnels for about ten minutes, everyone's footsteps stopped. At this point, at the end of the tunnel, there was a crevice just wide enough for one person to enter. Looking at the traces around the crevice, it must have been newly dug not long ago.
"Our miner accidentally dug this into a passage. He went in out of curiosity and ended up seriously injured. This place seems to be filled with an extremely hot gas," the foreman said cautiously.
Lin Dong nodded slightly and took two steps forward, his gaze peering into the crevice. He suddenly extended his palm and slowly inserted it into the crevice.
As his hand entered the crevice, Lin Dong immediately felt his entire arm suddenly become scorching hot. An unusual, fiery hot gas entered his body through the pores on his hand, finally flowing into his Dantian. Immediately, an unusual heat began to stir within his Dantian.
Feeling the changes within his Dantian, Lin Dong's thoughts stirred slightly. A moment later, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Because he discovered that the gas contained a special kind of fiery heat, like magma – Yang Gang Qi!
