"Bang!"
In the quiet courtyard, a circle of dazzling green light suddenly exploded. The rumbling sound even alarmed half of the Ling family.
However, none of the guards of the Ling Family moved even half a step. They had already gotten used to this kind of situation over the past few months. Every two or three days, there would always be some kind of shocking commotion.
Ling Dong's courtyard had more than doubled in size. The walls were twice as tall, and the space to practice martial arts in the courtyard had also increased. The ground was covered with polished green stones. Ling Dong's status in the family had risen, so naturally, his living environment had also become better.
"Again, Gao Yuan. Remember, your limbs are the best weapons. Your limbs, elbows, and shoulders are incomparably sharp low-grade Xiantian weapons. Even if you don't use your earth energy, you can still go head to head with ordinary low-grade Xiantian weapons! The Mortal Weapon Technique is all about advancing courageously and engaging in close combat! "shouted Ling Dong, who had just sent Gao Yuan flying with a palm strike.
As he said this, Ling Dong was thinking that it was time to make a simple set of equipment for Gao Yuan! Although the Mortal Weapon Technique was incomparably powerful, that was only after one had broken through to the Earth Realm. In the Xiantian Realm, if one met a martial artist who was stronger than Gao Yuan, it was easy to be crippled and injured.
Gao Yuan, who was panting in the distance, pondered for a moment. Suddenly, his body emitted a dazzling white light. He curled up into a ball and rolled towards Ling Dong in the air like a hedgehog. His protruding arms and legs were shining with white light. They were like swords, spinning endlessly, causing people to be wary of him.
Bang, bang, bang!
Ling Dong's fists continuously collided with Gao Yuan's body. Every strike brought about a violent explosion. Wherever Gao Yuan's hands landed, the stone slabs would shatter. His swift and fierce aura had a hint of ruthlessness, forcing Ling Dong to continuously retreat.
Ling Dong believed that if Gao Yuan could experience a few life and death battles, he would be able to fully understand the two words of the Mortal Weapon Technique.
This battle lasted for about a quarter of an hour. Ling Dong suddenly turned around and made Gao Yuan disappear. At this moment, Ling Dong's laughter came from behind Gao Yuan.
"Let's stop here for today. You've made great progress recently. You're already able to force me into a corner!" Ling Dong said with a smile.
Hearing this, Gao Yuan was a little depressed. "Young Master, you didn't even use your best combat skills and movement techniques. Once you used them, you disappeared. How is this improvement?"
"You and I have different strengths, so we can't compare. If we were to charge and break through enemy lines and meet each other on a narrow path, the chances of us winning would be fifty-fifty. Don't belittle yourself. After I leave, you can find those family guards to spar with, and then you'll know your strength!" Ling Dong advised.
Gao Yuan tilted his head and pondered for a while before laughing. "That's true. How can I compare to you, Young Master? You're a Xiantian Realm Level One expert who can beat up a Xiantian Realm Level Four or Five into a pulp … Strong Warrior!"
After laughing, Gao Yuan's expression became hesitant again. "Young Master, if you're leaving, what about me? Why don't you bring me along? "
"If I bring you along, who's going to take care of my affairs? Don't worry, I've arranged a lot of work for you. I definitely won't leave you alone! "
After jokingly scolding, Ling Dong continued, "Go take a look at the clan's trading company in the South Mountain Market and see if they've collected all the medicinal ingredients and Yao Cores I want. If they've collected all of them, quickly bring them over. I'll be leaving after I finish refining the last cauldron of pills! If they haven't collected all of them, just go to Kuixing Pavilion and put it under my name! "
"Yes, Young Master, I'll go right away!" Gao Yuan wiped off his sweat and disappeared in a flash.
Ling Dong looked at the yellowed leaves outside the courtyard and muttered, "Is the day of my departure coming soon?"
The season had once again entered the late autumn, and all that entered one's eyes was a sea of golden yellow. It had been more than half a year since the deal between Mister Mou and Kuixing Pavilion was completed. Half a year was enough for Ling Dong to arrange a lot of things.
The first thing was to completely subdue Ma Yingu, the leader of the biggest gang in Nanshan County. Indirectly, the biggest gang in Nanshan County was under the control of the Ling family, laying the foundation for the Ling family to dominate Nanshan County.
It was actually very easy to subdue Ma Yingu. Ling Dong saved Ma Yingu's son, Ma Yu, and completely removed the poison that Ling Dong had planted in Ma Yingu's body. Besides showing his gratitude, the patriarch of the Ling family, Ling Yuefeng, went out personally. Facing an Earth Realm expert, Ma Yingu had no choice.
Everyone knew that the Ling family of Nanshan County, which had an Earth Realm expert, was not far from dominating Nanshan County.
The Feng family, which used to be one of the three big aristocratic families, was now much more low-key. They even took the initiative to give up a part of the income from the Nanshan Market. This was the side effect of the extermination of the Zuo family and Mister Mou's death half a year ago. The survivors of the Feng family became more sensible.
However, it was useless to just expand their territory and increase their income. This was like a rich man in a chaotic world. If he did not have the corresponding protection, the more money he earned, the greater the danger.
After finding a suitable time, Ling Dong asked his father to teach the Purple Cloud Sky Wind Technique to his grandfather, Ling Yuefeng.
Ever since Ling Yuefeng broke through to the Earth Realm, although he could also increase his cultivation by cultivating the Xiantian Upper Level Technique, the speed was even slower than a mid-level Xiantian Realm expert.
Ling Yuefeng was surprised. Then, Ling Dong took the opportunity to add two more battle skills to the Ling family. He also left behind a Xiantian Lower Level Technique for the Ling family elders to cultivate.
The Purple Cloud Sky Wind Technique, which was Mid-Level Earth Realm, could only be cultivated by the patriarch or Ling Dong. As for the original Flowing Cloud Sky Wind Technique, Ling Dong asked his grandfather to open it up in the family. Any family guards who were willing to change their cultivation techniques could all cultivate it.
In a short period of time, the overall strength of the Ling family began to increase by leaps and bounds. Especially the second elder, Ling Xuanfeng, who had changed his Xiantian Lower Level Technique. He actually said that he would definitely have the ability to break through to the Earth Realm within ten years.
However, the biggest change in strength in the Ling family were three people.
Ling Dong's grandfather, Ling Yuefeng, did not need to be mentioned. After changing his Xiantian Lower Level Technique, his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. Ling Yuefeng also saw the possibility of a breakthrough. And with Ling Dong's help, he was able to unleash the power of an Earth Realm expert. His true battle strength had more than doubled.
The second person was Ling Dong's father, Ling Yuanshan.
Ever since Ling Dong was confirmed as the acting patriarch half a year ago, Ling Dong had full control over all of the Ling family's resources. The Tri-Flower Demonic Aura Pill, which could increase one's strength, was already so extravagant that he could consume one pill a day. Even if he wasted one-third of the pill's effect, he still had to consume one pill a day.
In addition to Bai Jiu 'er's continuous supply of military wine and the fact that he could cultivate in the only place in the Ling family that had an Aura Gathering Formation, his cultivation had increased from Xiantian Realm Level Five to Xiantian Realm Level Six in half a year's time. Xiantian Realm Level Seven wouldn't be a problem for him.
In addition, Ling Dong taught him a few powerful battle techniques and gave him talismans that he casually drew. Ling Dong believed that even if Ling Yuanshan couldn't defeat a Xiantian Realm Level Nine expert, he would at least be able to survive!
The third person was Gao Yuan! Under Ling Dong's deliberate nurturing, he had already condensed Aura and reached the Xiantian Realm. If it weren't for the fact that the Mortal Weapon Technique was special and focused on the cultivation of the physical body, Ling Dong would have used the Tri-Flower Demonic Aura Pill to raise Gao Yuan's cultivation to Xiantian Realm Level Two.
The points mentioned above were the most basic ones. The most important thing was that Ling Dong spent half a year to nurture three low-grade alchemists for the Ling family.
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible to nurture a single alchemist in half a year. Even a Heavenly Alchemist wouldn't be able to do it, let alone Ling Dong.
However, the candidates that Ling Dong nurtured were selected by the Ling family. They had studied under the original Alchemist, Master Shui, for more than ten years. Their understanding of the medicinal properties of medicinal herbs had already reached a critical point, and their experience in concocting medicinal herbs was even richer.
If Master Shui hadn't been so secretive, the Ling family would have had new alchemists by now. Now, with Ling Dong's guidance, it didn't take long for three alchemists to successfully refine medicinal pills and become alchemists.
The emergence of three low-grade alchemists had completely strengthened the Ling family's foundation. Refining low-grade medicinal pills earned the Ling family a lot of money. Then, they used the money to buy medicinal herbs and weapons to increase the strength of the Ling family. This allowed the Ling family to enter a virtuous cycle.
On the other hand, Ling Dong had completely completed the deal with Kuixing Pavilion. Not long after the four talisman masters were taught, a large number of storage talismans appeared, causing an uproar in the entire Tiangang Continent.
The first batch of storage talismans were directly auctioned off. In some places, they were sold at a sky-high price of four to five million taels of silver per piece. Even now, half a year later, some forces had already replicated the storage talismans. However, the price of the talismans was still 100,000 taels of silver per piece. It was still high!
Ling Dong estimated that it would take at least two to three years for the price to drop to 30,000 to 40,000 taels of silver per piece. Not to mention two to three years, even in half a year, Kuixing Pavilion had already earned an astronomical amount of money.
The crystal stone mine was also being mined. According to the current mining speed, the Ling family could earn at least one mid-grade crystal stone and no less than a hundred low-grade crystal stones every day. It could be said that their strength was rapidly increasing. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were raking in gold every day.
It could be said that whether it was the Ling family's strength as a whole or the Ling family's guards, their strength was making great strides forward. Only one person's strength remained in the same place. Compared to half a year ago, there was almost no change!
In this half a year, the only person whose strength did not improve was Ling Dong!
Ling Dong was also very depressed. In this half a year, his body had an extremely strange situation. With his experience, he didn't know what was going on.
If he couldn't figure it out, it meant that he couldn't solve it!
As a result, Ling Dong's cultivation did not improve at all in this half a year! This strange situation had also led Ling Dong to the point where he had to go out and find a solution!
