WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 31: Monsters

In the dense forest, Lin Dong put away his fist, feeling some weakness in his body. Based on his current strength, executing the Wonder Gate Seal once depleted most of his Yuan Power reserves. Fortunately, the power generated was truly incredible and definitely worth the cost.

“Yuan Power Seed now can't save too much Yuan Power. It would be much better if I could quickly advance to Tempered Body 9th Layer.”.

Once he reached Tempered Body 9th Layer, he could finally open his Dan Tian. Dan Tian had a much larger reserve compared to the Yuan Power Seed. When he reached that stage, he could then freely take out his Yuan Power.

"During this training period, I almost ran out of all my Elixir pills ..."

As he thought about his training, Lin Dong's eyebrows knitted together. In less than half a month, he had advanced to the Tempered Body 8th Layer. However, this came at a great cost to him. He had spent a large amount of Stone Talisman Ling Liquid. Moreover, his Elixir Pill was about to run out. Currently, he only had 2 Crimson Reishi Flaming Pills left…

Overall, this half-month training, almost depleted Lin Dong's resources.

"I must find a way to secure more potions ..."

Lin Dong gently sighed as a serious expression appeared on his face. Based on the strength he was showing at the moment, he was able to obtain some resources from the Lin Family. However, he did not care much about the refined Elixir Pills of the lower class elixir. However, he also knew that grade-3 potions were expensive items and even the Lin Family did not have too many. In fact, he had already been extremely lucky to receive two Flaming Crimson Reishi stalks as a boost reward earlier.

"Lin Dong - Ge."

As he was thinking about this matter, a sweet voice sounded from the dense forest. He turned around to see Qing Tan jumping like a butterfly with a joyful light on his reddish cheeks.

"Qing Tan, what's wrong?" Lin Dong casually asked with a smile as he glanced towards her as he lifted up a section of the shattered boulder.

"Ling Dong-ge, I now have Yuan Power!"

"Thud!"

The piece of stone in his hand fell to the ground with a thud as Lin Dong turned around and stared blankly at Qing Tan.

“Yuan Power? Have you reached the Tempered Body 6th Layer? How's that possible?!"

After overcoming his initial shock, Lin Dong regained his wits and a look of astonishment appeared on his face. Although Qing Tan had been raving about training for some time now, he had always been slacking off. After all, Tempered Body training is indeed very tiring and not suitable for some girls.

Based on his calculations, even if he were to secretly help him, Qing Tan would need half a year before he could reach the 6th Layer of the Tempered Body. Suddenly, he came to announce that he already had Yuan Power!

This is practically unheard of! It was even more ridiculous than the Stone Talisman.

As Lin Dong stood up, overwhelmed with shock, Qing Tan stretched out her jade-like palm. In his hand, a glittering light and a familiar pulse indicated that it was indeed Yuan Power…

“How can this happen?” Lin Dong exclaimed as he took a deep breath. He had never witnessed Qing Tan working so hard. How could he suddenly possess Yuan Power?

If his training speed was considered astonishing, then Qing Tan's speed could only be described as smooth.

“I don't know either. When I woke up this morning, I felt something was wrong with my body. And then, I found this.” Qing Tan said timidly as she stuck out her tongue.

Lin Dong's expression gradually turned serious as he grabbed Qing Tan's delicate hand. Although his hands felt soft and smooth on the surface, after exerting a slight pressure, one could clearly feel that his bones had incredible tenacity. This result could only be achieved after one practiced Tempered Body for a long time.

As Lin Dong continued his careful examination, he suddenly discovered that behind the toughness it looked a little cold.

Suddenly, a light bulb lit up in Lin Dong's head. Previously, he had discovered that although the Cold Cold within Qing Tan's body was cruel and barbaric, it was extremely beneficial to a Tempered Body practitioner. Of course, this benefit could only extend to Qing Tan and Lin Dong, who had the Stone Amulet.

Over the past decade, this Cold Coldness would periodically flare up causing Qing Tan great pain at all times. Qing Tan will be in a lot of pain. Perhaps, the parts of his body were gradually changing due to the constant attacks by this Cold-Cooling.

Although only a small portion of the Cold Cold entered and strengthened his body, they were piling up on his body little by little. Now, although Qing Tan did not train hard, his muscles and bones had been strengthened several times until Yuan Power finally appeared. With the right conditions everything will easily fall into place.

Although he experienced day after day of hard training, his body naturally gave rise to Yuan Power …

"Qing Tan's body definitely has some differences from the others."

Lin Dong slowly suppressed the shock in his heart. He had never heard of anyone possessing the Yuan Power Seed without physically softening one's body. If this news were to come out, how devastated would those people who were desperately training to reach the 6th Layer of the Tempered Body be?

Of course, this is not the whole truth. After all, ever since he was young, Qing Tan would be horribly tortured by the Cold Cold whenever it flared up. Hence, on one hand, he had actually paid a different price to obtain this naturally occurring Yuan Power Seed.

“Don't tell anyone else about this issue. Let's talk to Dad when he comes back and ask for his opinion .. "said Lin Dong after a moment of hesitation.

"Yes." Yeah." Qing Tan nodded his head obediently. He knew that this matter was very strange and if there was any news, it would probably cause trouble.

“Lin Dong-ge, a few more days near the end of the month. The bazaar in Qingyang City will be very crowded. How about we go and see it?” Qing Tan pleaded as she pleaded with Lin Dong with puppy eyes.

"Markets?"

Lin Dong was confused. This bazaar was an event co-hosted by some of the more successful merchants in Qingyang City and all sorts of items would be sold there. Therefore, it is a very popular place. In fact, it was arguably one of the most popular places in Qingyang City.

"Yes. Lin Xia-jie and the others also left.” Qing Tan constantly nodded her head. She was a young and lively girl and of course these places piqued her interest. However, since he was still being punished by Lin Xiao, he did not dare to go alone. Therefore, he tried to tie Lin Dong up.

As Lin Dong muttered to himself when an idea suddenly popped into his head. Right now, he was in desperate need of elixir and of course he did not have the funds needed to buy the exorbitant elixir he needed. However, he had the Stone Ling Liquid Talisman and his last two Crimson Reishi Flaming Pills…

Both of these items must be very valuable. In particular, the Crimson Reishi Flaming Pill was extremely valuable. Moreover, all of these items contained extremely pure Ling Qi, compared to ordinary potions, they were much stronger. Hence, it was almost certain that there would be many people clamoring to buy these items from him.

However, he could not sell too many of these items as it could arouse the suspicion of others.

Moreover, Lin Dong was extremely reluctant to part with any of his Ling Liquid Talisman Stones or Elixir Pills.

However, once he sold these items, it would be easy to buy the potions he needed…

As he discovered this thought, Lin Dong could not help but smile as he felt a burden lift from his chest. He finally found a solution to this strange problem.

“Alright, let's go visit Bazaar.”

After he made up his mind, Lin Dong did not want to waste any more time and he quickly agreed with a laugh.

When he saw that Lin Dong was willing to accompany him to the Bazaar, Qing Tan's eyes curved into a crescent moon. Her sweet expression was truly mesmerizing.
