WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 60: The Difficult Training

Qingyang Town, Lei Family.

Lei Bao was resting comfortably on the soft sofa in the luxurious hall. At his side, two beautiful maids were massaging him carefully.

"Is there any activity in the Lin Family?" Lei Bao, whose eyes were tightly closed, suddenly asked.

"The Lin family has deployed a large number of personnel to the Steel Wood Manor and they are guarding it very closely." To Lei Bao's side, a middle-aged man wearing an embroidered robe replied. This man was Lei Pi, the second person in the Lei Family and Lei Li's father.

“Only a group of villagers. As expected, they mean nothing. ” After hearing these words, Lei Bao involuntarily laughed. Now that most of the Steel Wood Manor had been destroyed, most of its value was lost. However, the Lin Family still acted as if they had found a treasure.

“Haha, even though the Steel Wood Manor had lost its glory, to a lower-class family, it was still a valuable asset. How could they just give up.” Lei Pi smiled as he replied.

“That bastard from the Lin Family caused our Lei Family to lose the Steel Wood Manor. I will not easily let this matter go! ” Lei Bao opened both his eyes, revealing a cold gaze. He turned to look at Lei Pi, who was standing beside him, and said: "Go to Yan City and take advantage of our contacts there to prevent the Lin Family from selling the Steel Wood. Heh, I want to make sure no one wants to do business with them!”

"Yes!"

Upon hearing these words, a grin appeared on Lei Pi's face as he nodded his head.

"How is Lei Li?" Lei Bao suddenly asked.

"Losing to that brat from the Lin Family was a huge blow to him." Lei Pi sighed as he replied.

“It is natural to experience victory and defeat in a martial arts duel. If he could not even handle this loss, how could he hope to earn anything in the future?

Lei Bao furrowed his brows for a while before continuing: "Later, go to our warehouse and take out the stored "Yang Yuan Pills" and give them to him. With that item, his training progress had to be accelerated. In the future, make sure to cripple that brat from the Lin Family. ”

“Thank you very much Dad.”

After he heard the words "Yang Yuan Pill", a flash of excitement appeared on Lei Pi's face as he immediately thanked his father.

"Go. Also, remember to instruct the men to increase the surveillance on the Lin Family. Huh, it is not easy to take something from my Lei Family....” As he finished his words, a sinister expression appeared on Lei Bao's face.

……

After the Demonic Black Panthers were dealt with, the secret development of the mining site began. Everyone selected to take part must go through a rigorous selection process. The workers chosen were generously compensated by the Lin Family and were also allowed to take their families to the Steel Wood Manor. In this way, they are not only given a place to live, but also serve a second agenda: a way to keep the manor secret and ensure there are no leaks.

With regards to this project, Lin Dong was obviously not of much help. However, he did not return to Qingyang City because of this. After all, there were many ancient and deep forests surrounding the Steel Wood Manor. In this forest there were many Demonic Beasts, and he planned to train himself there.

After the clash with the guards from the Lei Family, Lin Dong clearly understood that he had no experience in actual combat. If he did not possess such powerful Yuan Power and martial arts mastery, he would face great difficulty when facing the Dai En duo.

With regards to the actual battle, Lin Dong was unable to target other humans. Hence, he turned his attention to the similarly terrifying Demonic Beast, and, the dense forest around the Steel Wood Manor gave him the perfect training ground.

……

"Gram!"

In the quiet forest, an angry roar suddenly sounded, causing the tree leaves to shiver.

If one turned his head towards the commotion, he would see a gigantic green wolf pouncing towards the human figure. However, the moment the giant wolf opened its foul-smelling mouth to break the neck of the human figure, two fingers covered in powerful Yuan Power pierced through the giant wolf's soft belly and was fresh, fresh, causing hot blood to spurt out.

As fresh blood began to gush out, a human figure pushed the giant green wolf away as he tried to catch his breath. Many scars adorned his body. He was clearly someone who had experienced many battles.

After panting for a while, a human figure finally stood up, revealing the face of the young teenager. This is Lin Dong. Right now he turned to look at the giant green wolf that had collapsed at this foot and involuntarily laughed.

The Green Wind Wolf was a Demon Beast that could match an Earthly Yuan practitioner. In these two months, Lin Dong had fought many times with this person. Originally, all he could do was retreat, but now, all he needed was one blow to end the creature's life.

After Lin Dong sent the Green Wind Wolf, a red shadow immediately ran out of the forest and tore the carcass of the Green Wind Wolf. When he realized there were no Demon Crystals inside, he let out an ominous growl.

That red shadow was naturally Little Flame. During these two months, he had been accompanying Lin Dong for also refining battle after battle. Thus, he was now wearing countless battle scars on his body which was the result of his fight with the other Demon Beasts.

Right now, after this two-month battle, there was a stench of bloodlust in Little Flame. The scars on his body made him look extremely frightening, bit by bit, the noble aura of the Fire Python Tiger appeared.

Under normal circumstances, Little Flame's growth rate was puzzling. Although he enjoyed the most luxurious treatment and even managed to devour some Demon Crystals under Lin Dong's care. Growing up from a newborn child to now about the same size as an adult Fire Python Tiger is indeed amazing.

Based on Lin Dong's knowledge, Fire Python tiger cub Wu Yun was only as big as his thigh. Furthermore, his combat abilities were far below that of Little Flame……

With regards to their differences, Lin Dong was also at a loss for words. However, he was grateful to have followed the talisman Stone's decision that day. After all, Little Flame was clearly special compared to the other two children.

In this two-month training, both Little Flame and Lin Dong had improved substantially. However, the only thing Lin Dong regretted was that he was still far enough away to advance to the Worldly Yuan Final Stage. Although as a consolation, he had completed all seven channels in the QingYuan Art ……

Overall, the fruit of this two-month training was quite sweet.

“It's late, come back..”.

Lin Dong took out a bottle and poured Elixir pills, putting them into Little Flame's mouth. Then, he stared at the diminishing pill inside the bottle as the corner of his mouth formed a bitter smile while shaking his head. As Little Flame grew, it became increasingly picky. The Stone Talisman Ling Liquid could not suffice it anymore ……

As he climbed Little Flame, Lin Dong whistled. In response, Little Flame turned into a red shadow as it quickly dashed out of the forest ......

……

As soon as he returned to the Steel Wood Manor, Lin Dong quickly went to take a bath. After he changed clothes, he headed for the mountain behind the manor and passed through the heavy barricades before finally reaching the mining site.

At this moment, the mountain had completely changed. There was a long tunnel that stretched deep into the mountain as the sound of “ding ding dang” was constantly heard from within.

Guarding the tunnel entrance was Lin Xiao. Beside him were two large crates. These boxes were filled to the brim with a pink Yang Yuan Stone.

“Dad, the harvest seems pretty good.” As he stared at the two glittering Yang Yuan Stone boxes, Lin Dong licked his lips and smiled.

“Currently, we do not have enough usable labor. Therefore, the number of Yang Yuan Stones we can harvest per day is still limited. In these two months, we managed to harvest four hundred and eighty-seven stones.” Lin Xiao replied. However, his expression showed that he was very satisfied with this harvest. After all, this was already on par with their entire income last year.

"Four hundred plus this Yang Yuan Stone can be exchanged for around forty Yang Yuan Pills."

"Pil Yang Yuan?" Lin Dong was stunned as he asked curiously.

“Some elite practitioners can harvest the Yang Energy within this Yang Yuan Stone and condense it into a Yang Yuan Pill. These pills were extremely beneficial to every practitioner under the Yuan Dan Stage. Based on my calculations, it would take ten Yang Yuan Stones to produce one Yang Yuan pill. Heh heh, to some large factions, this Yang Yuan Stone and Yang Yuan Pill might be a better currency than silver or gold…” Lin Xiao was clearly in a good mood as he slowly explained.

"Oh?" Lin Dong was surprised. This was the first time he had heard of this.

“Dad has decided. Tomorrow, we will send three hundred Yang Yuan Stones to Yan City and exchange them for Yang Yuan Pills to increase the strength of our Lin Family.”

"Towards Yan City tomorrow?" A flash of excitement appeared in Lin Dong's eyes. Yan City was the largest city nearby, and it was quite famous even in the entire Yan Dynasty. It was much more interesting and lively than Qingyang City.

“Haha, you are the star of our Lin Family. Rest assured, I will definitely bring you along tomorrow. ” On Lin Dong's expression, Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh as he promised.

Lin Dong chuckled and then turned his head as he looked at the chest filled with Yang Yuan Stones, an amazed expression on his face. On one side, Lin Xiao said a little more before leaving after he instructed the guards to watch closely.

As Lin Xiao walked away, Lin Dong subconsciously reached out to take the three Yang Yuan Stones. When his hand grabbed the Yang Yuan Stone, the Stone Amulet embedded in his palm suddenly shook. Following which, the pink light from the three Yang Yuan Stones darkened rapidly. Moments later, the stones became dull before finally crumbling into dust.

As he watched this sudden development, Lin Dong's facial expression also changed drastically.
