WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 11: The Yin Pearl

"Qing Tan, is the cold chill flaring up again?"

As he felt a cold wave coming out from Qing Tan's body, Lin Dong could not help but shiver as he asked anxiously.

"Yes." Yeah." Qing Tan squeezed out the answer through gritted teeth. Her weak body constantly shivered with coldness, an expression of agony on her tiny face.

"I'll go and call you!" Lin Dong quickly said.

"No, please don't go!" After hearing those words, Qing Tan quickly grabbed onto Lin Dong's arm. Immediately, the cold air quickly formed a thin layer of ice on his sleeve. "useless. Moreover, it was rare to see Dad in such a good mood. Please don't bother him, I can bear this. ”

As he looked at Qing Tan's deadly small yet white face, Lin Dong felt a pain growing in his heart. Gritting his teeth, he finally nodded. He knew that Qing Tan was right, even if he called father, it would be useless and would instead only increase the number of worried people in two.

Qing Tan had often suffered from this terrible cold disease since young. After a period of time, an extremely dense cold air would explode from within his body. Under the influence of this cold, the insides of his body would be tormented by excruciating pain. For these past ten years, he had suffered greatly from this terrible cold. However, even Lin Xiao was unable to find a solution to alleviate his condition. He had once tried to use Yuan Force to forcibly repel the cold, but in the end, he had to spend nearly half a month in bed to dissipate the cold coming into his body.

Therefore, whenever a chill flared up in Qing Tan's body, the three of them could only helplessly watch Qing Tan suffer while their hearts were cut into pieces inside.

"Let me take you back to your room." Observing that Qing Tan was paralyzed by pain, he suddenly lifted her up, hugged her tightly, and ran like crazy towards her room.

“Hsssss!”

As he ran into the room, Lin Dong quickly placed Qing Tan on his bed. Then, he hurriedly rubbed his arm, which had been numb from the cold and felt as if it had been pierced by a needle.

“Lin Dong-ge, you. I can bear this.” Qing Tan hid her weak body under the blanket as she muttered weakly. However, as he spoke, his body began to tremble even more violently. It seemed that the cold air was even more intense compared to the previous time.

"Very cold ..... very cold ......"

Qing Tan took out her small head from the blanket, her petite face as white as sheets and her hair glittered with ice crystals.

After witnessing this scene, Lin Dong, who was standing beside him, became extremely anxious and agitated as he paced beside his bed. Suddenly his footsteps stopped. Clenching his teeth, he tore off his shoes and jumped onto his bed before proceeding to hug Qing Tan tightly through his blanket.

The one who practiced had a strong and powerful life force. Lin Dong hoped to use the warmth of his body to ease some of Qing Tan's pain. Although he understood that his actions would mean nothing, he could not bear to see Qing Tan being tortured by the cold alone.

"Lin Dong-ge, please don't!"

Qing Tan hurriedly replied as she felt Lin Dong's embrace. Although Qing Tan was barely conscious from the cold, Lin Dong's movements made him regain consciousness. He clearly knew how strong the chill in his body was, because even Lin Xiao, who was at the World Yuan level, had a hard time dealing with it. How could Lin Dong, who was only at Tempered Body 4th Layer, handle it?

"Well, I'll be fine ......" Clenching his jaw, Lin Dong tenaciously held Qing Tan tightly. Although they were separated by blankets, he felt as if he was hugging a piece of millennial ice. The bone-chilling coldness was similar to the thousands of razor-sharp needles that pierced his body nonstop.

Needless to say, a while later, Lin Dong's body started to shiver as well. Frost appeared on his brows as his teeth chattered nonstop. Nonetheless, despite the pain, Lin Dong's grip grew tighter and tighter.

Qing Tan placed her tiny head on Lin Dong's chest, her eyes staring at the constantly shivering Lin Dong, who was now biting his lips as he held back the cold. Tears began to flow as he felt a faint warmth blooming from the bottom of his heart. He knew that he was only an orphan, yet Lin Dong and his family had always treated him like their own child.

"Thank you, Lin Dong-ge". Qing Tan lightly muttered as she slowly lost consciousness, her eyelids slowly falling in response.

The bone-chilling cold quickly left his body and Lin Dong slowly started to regain consciousness. As he stared at the melting ice on his arm, he was dazed for a moment before he hurriedly undid his clothes. There, put the stone talisman he held tightly on his body, emitting a light glow. At the same time, he could also vaguely feel a cold sensation coming from him.

"A stone amulet sucks in the cold?" Lin Dong blinked as an incredulous smile appeared on his face. He did not expect that this cold chill, which even puzzled father, could actually be sucked in by this stone talisman!

While Lin Dong was still amazed at this turn of events, Qing Tan, who had originally fainted, cried softly. His eyes slowly opened, immediately detecting the changes in his body and exclaiming: "The cold has subsided?"

"It looks so." Lin Dong replied with a smile, scratching his head. Then, he let go of Qing Tan and said: “Now after easing up, everything is fine. Rest."

"Yes, Lin Dong-ge, thank you." Qing Tan softly muttered, her cheeks turned pink as she looked at Lin Dong's smiling face.

"We're family, there's no need for you to say these words." Lin Dong patted his chest, smiling as he said in a manly manner. Seeing that it was getting late, he decided not to linger and waved at Qing Tan before turning around to get out of his room.

Staring at the figure of Lin Dong who left, Qing Tan looked like a little prima donna as she lay on her bed, her lethargic self looking rather charming and beautiful. His cheeks rested on his tiny hands and his small legs, which were as white as jade, slowly swayed on his back. On her lips, a sweet smile hung over, brightening her angelic face.

After leaving Qing Tan's room, Lin Dong rushed to his room at lightning speed. He quickly locked the door before taking out a stone talisman tucked near his chest. Under the lights, three crystals the size of a milky white bean emerged from a small crack in the middle of the stone talisman.

Lin Dong carefully took out three crystals the size of a milky white bean. As they rolled into his palm, he felt a cold sensation that reached into his bone marrow. The cold chill inside this pearl was almost the same as the piercing cold inside Qing Tan's body, except for the coldness of the crystal that looked much softer.

"This was supposed to be condensed from the cold that sucked out of Qing Tan's body ......"

Lin Dong muttered as he closed his finger on the three white pearls, grasping them in his hand. The Yin energy contained within these pearls did not have the violent nature as observed in Qing Tan's body. In fact, it was possible for one to absorb the Yin Energy from the pearls into his body.

Although he was far from reaching the Worldly Yuan level, Lin Dong knew that after rising to the Worldly Yuan level, the most important step was to absorb the Yin Energy, which existed between Heaven and Earth, into someone's body. After which, the Yin Energy would merge with the Yuan Power that was within one's body, greatly increasing the attack potential of one's Yuan Power. Furthermore, when one advanced to the Heavenly Yuan level, one had to absorb Yang Energy, which existed between Heaven and Earth, into his body. Finally, when the Yin and Yang Energy within one's body synergizes, a Yuan Dan will form.

Therefore, this way of training is referred to as 'Stealing Yin and Yang'.

So for the Earth Yuan and Heavenly Yuan stages, Yin and Yang Energy could be considered the most important components. However, within Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang Energies could be classified into different levels and categories, with each having its own advantages and disadvantages. However most people would choose to absorb Yin Yang energy directly from Heaven and Earth because it was the most convenient method. After all, the special Yin Yang Energy was not so easy to obtain. Of course, this method would make them slightly weaker.

Of course, some wealthy people would rather choose to absorb the special Yin Yang Energy. This way, they would become stronger than practitioners on the same level as them.

Moreover, the higher the quality of Yin Yang Energy absorbed during the Worldly and Heavenly Yuan stages, the stronger the Yuan Dan formed!

Thus, some wealthy people would spend great resources to find different types of special Yin Yang Energy to allow their Yuan Dan to form with higher quality.

Clearly, even though Lin Dong had never come into contact with Yin Energy before, it was, he firmly believed that the white Yin Pearl in his hand was definitely much higher quality than the natural Yin Energy found between Heaven and Earth.

Perhaps, the Yin Energy contained within it could be classified as Class 3 or even higher.

And for expert practitioners at the World Yuan level, this was an extremely precious treasure that had to be killed in order to obtain it!
