In the next few days, Lin Dong's lifestyle returned to what it used to be. During the day, he would frantically train his body, and once he was unable to withstand the fatigue, he would slip into the rock pool. Almost half an hour later, he would come out of the pond feeling refreshed and full of energy. Furthermore, a series of Penetrating Fists were executed clearly, causing a series of crisp echoes to continue to echo around the forest.
Among the younger generation in the Lin Family, there might not be anyone else who could maintain this intensive regime. After all, the effect of the stone pool was arguably better than that of Grade 3 elixir. Next, when the red liquid is diluted, it becomes light and soft. Therefore, it would not hurt one's body at all. In fact, this was best suited for someone in the early training phase like Lin Dong.
At night, Lin Dong would once again enter into the darkness of the Spiritual Domain. There, he would tirelessly repeat set after set of his increasingly familiar Penetrating Fist. As he drilled without rest or food, his Penetrating Fist mastery increased by leaps and bounds until Lin Dong could now easily produce nine echoes! With regards to the tenth echo, Lin Dong also gradually gained a better understanding of it. Even though he had not managed to master it, he knew that it was only a matter of time.
Furthermore, perhaps because of the strength that Lin Dong showed at their previous meeting, Lin Shan, who previously liked to cause trouble for him, had stopped appearing before him. The latter probably understood that he would only dig his own grave if he dared to cause trouble for Lin Dong again.
Therefore, right now, Lin Dong could peacefully dedicate all of his energy to his training.
In the blink of an eye, a week passed amidst peace and tranquility.
Within this week, Lin Dong was actively looking for an opportunity to feed the red liquid from the stone talisman to Lin Xiao. However, during this period, Lin Xiao had always left, hence Lin Dong had little chance to do so and thus had no choice but to temporarily suppress that thought.
This situation continued until the eighth day, until Lin Dong finally could not bear it anymore. This was because Lin Xiao was injured once again ...
As he practiced, Lin Dong heard Qing Tan's anxious cry. He reacted and ran away to the house. He barged into the room to see Lin Xiao lying on the bed, his face as pale as a piece of paper. A drop of blood marked the ground under his sleeve.
"Father met a powerful ferocious beast when she went deep into the mountains in search of an elixir ..." Qing Tan softly muttered from behind Lin Dong, his eyes red with sadness.
After hearing these words, waves of guilt gushed out from Lin Dong's heart as tears fell from his eyes.
“Males should not cry. It's just a small wound”. As Lin Xiao saw Lin Dong standing near the door, he tried to lift his body. As he tried to show a stern expression, a sharp pain emerged from his wound, causing his expression to turn painful.
“Why are you still trying to appear brave now. Here, let me boil this potion for you.” Liu Yan glared at Lin Xiao before he picked up a light green herb by his side.
"Hey, it's for Dong-er!" Lin Xiao hurriedly said, after witnessing this scene.
“Mother, let me boil this potion. You and Qing Tan must look after Father.” Before Lin Xiao's words could fade, Lin Dong dashed forward and snatched the elixir from Liu Yan's hand. Without saying a word, he ran out of the room.
"This is ..."
As he saw Lin Dong sneaking away faster than the rabbit, Lin Xiao did not know whether to laugh or cry. He helplessly shook his head, warmth bubbling in his heart.
Shortly after Lin Dong left, he again held the green porcelain bowl in his hand. The bowl was filled to the brim with a dark green medicine with a medicinal fragrance that could be smelled even from a distance.
"Dad, please take this medicine." Lin Dong smiled as he brought the medicine.
"* Sigh*, you're a bad boy." Lin Xiao helplessly shook his head. Although his heart ached, he could only accept the bowl. Without a word, he gulped down the medicine.
As he saw Lin Xiao finish his medicine, an excited expression appeared in Lin Dong's eyes. He naturally added a few drops of red liquid from the stone talisman into that medicinal bowl. However, he did not know how much help would be provided for Lin Xiao's injury.
After finishing the medicine, Lin Xiao put down the bowl and looked at Lin Dong, who was staring at his father's face attentively. Just when Lin Xiao was about to put on a stern look, he suddenly felt his cheeks blushing as if flames had been ignited within his body.
"Dad!"
Witnessing the change that had happened to Lin Xiao, Qing Tan who was standing on one side turned pale.
"Yuk!"
As Qing Tan and Liu Yan turned white in fear, Lin Xiao's body temperature continued to rise as her face became increasingly red. A split second later, he suddenly opened his mouth and vomited out a mouthful of dirty black blood.
"Xiao-ge, are you okay?" As he saw Lin Xiao suddenly vomit blood, Liu Yan hurriedly rushed over with tears in his eyes. Lin Xiao was the backbone of this family, if something were to happen to him, what would happen to him and the children?
As Lin Xiao was panting, the redness on his cheeks quickly retreated. Instead, a healthy reddish glow appeared.
“My injury ...”
As Lin Xiao stared in disbelief at his palm. Suddenly, he could feel that all the injuries that had accumulated over the years on his body, had mostly been swept away.
The feeling of his channel once again being free from any obstructions refreshed him and all of his internal organs surged once again with strength and strength. This sensation was something he had not experienced for a long time.
"Liu Yan, my wounds, my wounds ..." Lin Xiao trembled with excitement as he grabbed tightly into Liu Yan's hands. A wide smile of excitement filled his usually resolute face.
Liu Yan regained his wits as he watched the emotions in Lin Xiao's eyes. A look of disbelief surfaced on his face as he asked: "Have you recovered yet?"
“Ya, Yes, almost, almost.”.
Liu Xiao became so emotional that he lost the ability to string words together. In the end, he could not help himself anymore and he tightly hugged Liu Yan while letting out a joyous and heartfelt laughter. Contained in his laughter was the sound of relief after many years of torment. During these years, his progress stagnated due to his internal injuries. Although he pretended to give a strong front on the outside, anyone could tell that the person who had once been the most impressive member of the Lin Family, was gradually replaced by a rotting skin.
However, if there is a will, there must be a way! After so many years, his injuries that had blocked him to no end and showed no signs of recovery were finally gone!
As he looked at his excited parents, Lin Dong rubbed the corner of his eyes, a wide smile forming on his face. The effect of the stone talisman had far exceeded his expectations. He knew that if Dad took the medicine a few more times in the future, removing the wound and making a full recovery was no longer an impossible dream.
And when his wounds had healed and recovered completely, Lin Xiao's strength would increase greatly!
As Lin Dong sighed in relief in his heart, he pulled Qing Tan, who was also smiling happily, and slowly left the room.
"Crackle."
As he gently closed the door, a smile floated on Lin Dong's face. He gently muttered to himself: “Dad, rest assured. You will definitely become a pillar of support for the Lin Family once again!
