WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 108: Piercing Helices

When Lin Dong left the Thousand Gold Auction House, he did not stop anymore. However, for safety reasons, he did not immediately return to the inn where he rested. Instead, he chose to tour the city for half a day, before he casually returned to the inn.

After returning to the inn, Lin Dong casually filled his stomach before he instructed the innkeeper not to disturb him and closed the door of his room tightly.

As soon as he entered his room, Lin Dong hurriedly retrieved five jade boxes from his Qiankun bag. When he opened it, an alluring scent immediately shot out as a dim light circled around Elixir. Based on their appearance alone, Lin Dong knew that this Elixir was much better than the Grade 4 Elixir he had bought in Qingyang City.

Lin Dong smiled widely while staring at the bountiful harvest today. Yan City was truly extraordinary compared to Qingyang City. Returning home, he would find it extremely difficult to find such a high quality herb even though the prices of these items were naturally exorbitant.

As Lin Dong slowly stretched out his right palm, a mysterious light shot out from his palm and interweaved himself in one of the Elixirs. Soon after, Elixir began to change rapidly. About ten minutes later, they had turned into five perfectly round Elixir pills.

“As expected of Elixir Class 5. Even the Stone Talisman took a long time to refine it.” As he stared at the rich Elixir Pill in his palm, Lin Dong gently exclaimed. Previously, when he refined Elixir, it would be completed in a very short time. However, this was the first time he needed more than ten minutes to fix it.

After he had successfully repaired the first Class 5 Elixir, Lin Dong decided to refine the remaining four Elixirs as well. In the end, this Elixir was converted into twenty-five Elixir pills.

As he stared at the Elixir pill that had been stored in the jade bottle, Lin Dong nodded in satisfaction. After the Stone Amulet refined it, all of the medicinal power within this Elixir was now perfectly distributed into these pills.

The benefits derived from consuming one Elixir Grade 5 were equivalent to consuming only two Elixir pills. Since one Elixir could be refined into five pills, this meant thanks to the Stone Talisman, Lin Dong was able to fully absorb the maximum amount of medicinal strength from this Elixir.

"Let's test how effective this pill is!"

Lin Dong licked his lips, before he directly sat on his bed with his legs crossed and once again ventured into the Spiritual Stone Amulet Domain!

The enormous Mind Millstones continued their slow rotation. In the place where these two milled stones interacted, Lin Dong's Mental Energy was once again in a cycle torn apart and then restored again ...

This cycle continued until the tenth time, before Lin Dong's tightly shut eyes gradually began to open. His face was extremely pale and a dizzying sensation constantly gushed out in his brain. The piercing numb sensation caused the muscles all over Lin Dong's body to twitch faintly. It seemed like today's Mind Millstone cultivation session had caused his body to become extremely weak.

Removing the Elixir pill he had smoothed earlier from the jade bottle, Lin Dong quickly stuffed it into his mouth before slowly closing his eyes. Letting the warm medicinal strength begin to spread rapidly throughout his body.

A slightly cold sensation began to slowly flow through the deep channels in his body. Finally, just like how the steam rose, traces of medicinal effects began to flow into his Niwan Palace.

When an ice-cold Qi flowed into his Niwan Palace, the dizzying sensation in his brain quickly disappeared. Meanwhile, the weak sensation in his body also started to fade.

About an hour later, when all the medicinal strength had been absorbed into his Niwan Palace, Lin Dong started to open his eyes, now full of energy. Polishing on his face was a pleasure that was hard to hide.

The effects of the Elixir pill had far exceeded his expectations. The grueling sessions in Mind Millstones and the act of taking Elixir pills complemented each other perfectly. Therefore, after just one cultivation session, the Fate Symbols in his Niwan Palace gleamed. Compared to before, it also looked even more solid!

“Huu..”.

With a pleased expression, Lin Dong took a deep breath. Previously, when he did not possess a Grade 5 Elixir Pill, in a single day, he could at most last ten cycles in the Mind Millstones before he was forced to rest. Only on the second day could he continue this process.

However, right now, after he had taken this Grade 5 Elixir Pill, Lin Dong was able to increase the efficiency of this process by several times!

For example, right now, after consuming a Grade 5 Elixir pill to recover, even though he was not in his peak condition, it was enough for him to once again return to the Mind Millstones and get angry!

Thus, it is proven that this Grade 5 Elixir pill is indeed very potent. After all, you get what you pay for.

"Again!"

Sensing that his condition had greatly improved, Lin Dong's spirit was once again revived as he shouted deeply with a powerful expression in his eyes and completely re-entered the Spiritual Domain of the Amulet Stone!

In just half a day, Lin Dong had experienced thirty full cycles being blown up and then revived. This kind of torturous training caused even the little marten to be dumbfounded as the word 'crazy' was constantly muttered ...

These thirty cycles finally caused Lin Dong to feel extremely tired. After the third repetition, Lin Dong could still feel a numbing sensation from his mind even after he had consumed the Elixir Pill. He knew he had reached his limit. If he forcefully continued to train, he would only injure himself.

Nonetheless, compared to before, this was three times more efficient. Therefore, the result is quite satisfactory.

When Lin Dong took note of this, he began to calm down. After all, there are limits to everything and the same applies to training as well. This principle was something Lin Dong understood.

After finishing his training in Mind Millstones, Lin Dong proceeded to retrieve the jade plate-like object from his Qiankun Bag. This was the Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill he bought during the auction.

There were some symbols written on the jade plate. After Lin Dong's gaze swept over them, he understood that what was contained within this jade was the pulse of weak Mental Energy. Right now, although he was still a beginner, with a flick of his mind, a thread of Mental Energy floated out from his Niwan Palace and entered the jade disk.

As Lin Dong's Mental Energy entered, streams of information quickly gushed out from within the jade disk and flowed into Lin Dong's mind.

Piercing Helicity, Spirit Skills Secret Level Essence ……

The name of this Secret Spirit Skill was a little strange. However, after Lin Dong carefully studied it for a while, he gained a better understanding of it. This so-called Piercing Helicity was actually a shock wave of special Mental Energy. In particular, these Mental Energy shock waves have a unique frequency and this makes them even more deadly.

However, if one wanted to master this particular frequency, it would obviously be an uphill battle.

Inside his room, Lin Dong was deep in thought. A moment later, streams of Mental Energy suddenly gushed out from his Niwan Palace. At the moment it gushed out, with a flick of his mind, that shockwave of Mental Energy was quickly under his control. Soon after, it changed according to that unique frequency.

As the frequency changed, the formless shock waves of Mental Energy also began to change. In the blink of an eye, the formless Mental Energy actually materialized into a Mental Energy attack like a cone that was as thick as one's thigh.

Compared to before, these Mental Energy shock waves not only had a shape but were also in the form of sharp-tipped cones. Its sharp end swirled like a spiral. At first glance, one could tell that it was indeed deadly.

However, right now, one major flaw was its shape which seemed too illusory as it only had form but no substance. Of course, since Lin Dong had just learned this 'Piercing Helicity', the fact that he could complete this move was already an incredible achievement. Once he became more proficient, the effects would definitely be much better.

Inside the room, Lin Dong was obviously very interested in this 'Piercing Helicity' as he continued to spread it around before making it happen again to quickly master that unique frequency.

As he happily drilled, that form of 'Piercing Helicity' gradually began to materialize ...

…

In the next three days, Lin Dong practically did not leave the room. His entire time was used to temper his Mental Energy and to train the Essence Level Secret Spirit Skill he had just obtained, 'Piercing Helicity'.

In just three days, thanks to Lin Dong's insane training, he had spent nearly one-third of the twenty-five precious Class 5 Elixir pills. Fortunately, progress on this level of consumption is quite good.

Right now, the Fate Symbol in Lin Dong's Niwan Palace had materialized to the point where it had almost become an actual object. Lin Dong could clearly feel a powerful energy rapidly condensing within his Fate Symbol.

Furthermore, right in the middle of the seemingly material Fate Symbol, a small gap was faintly visible. This was not a flaw but rather an indication that someone was approaching the pinnacle of the 1st Seal Symbol Master. When this gap was fully split, this Fate Symbol would split itself in two. At that time, one would rise to the level of the 2nd Seal Symbol Master!

As for "Piercing Helicity", Lin Dong had also become more proficient with it. Although he had yet to test how powerful it was, he imagined that it would be several times stronger than "The Conferred Spirit Needle". Therefore, this skill would definitely be his hidden signature move.

When the morning of the fourth day arrived, Lin Dong, who was in tip-top shape after the planned break, slowly opened his eyes as a ray of light flashed across his eyes before disappearing.

“It looks like it's time..”

Lin Dong jumped out of his bed. Today marks the beginning of the 'Battle of Heavenly Ponds'. Although he was not sure if the Thousand Gold Association could defeat the Blood Wolf Guild, he was very interested in the magical effects of the 'Dan Heavenly Columns'. He knew that if he had the chance to soak in it and absorb the pure Yin and Yang Energy within it, perhaps he would have broken through to the Yuan Dan stage soon.

If he could advance to Yuan Dan Stage, with the help of his Mental Energy, even Wei Tong, whom he had previously felt was extremely difficult to deal with, would no longer be a threat. At that time he would be equipped with the strength to protect himself even in Yan City!

After experiencing the crisis of the Blood Cloth Sect, Lin Dong clearly understood in his heart that if he wanted to protect the things in this world, all he needed was strength!

It was for this particular reason that he agreed to meet the member quota for the Thousand Gold Association and help them compete for 'Dan Heavenly Columns'!
