Chapter 5

"Alright, you tell me, and I'll go buy it." Lin Yan nodded. As long as it could help him quickly improve his cultivation, let alone buying three types of medicinal materials, even if he had to buy thirty types, he wouldn't frown once.

However, when he heard the three types of medicinal materials Gong Qianxue mentioned, his face immediately turned gloomy.

"Thirty Sunflower, fifty Flying Dragon Grass, and eighty Nightingale Leaves; these are the three types of medicinal materials."

"Thirty Sunflower, fifty Flying Dragon Grass, and eighty Nightingale Leaves, that would cost at least five thousand spirit stones. Where would I get so many spirit stones?" Lin Yan's face was full of distress.

Spirit stones are a common currency on the Tianwu Continent.

Although he was Lin Peng's son and nominally the young master of the Lin family, the spirit stones he received each month were at most ten.

Five thousand spirit stones, that would be impossible even if he sold himself. After all, such a quantity of spirit stones was almost equivalent to the Lin family's entire annual income.

"Where in the world is there a free lunch?"

Gong Qianxue glanced at him indifferently and said coldly, "In any case, I've told you the medicinal materials. If you don't want to improve your cultivation quickly, you don't have to prepare them. It's up to you to decide."

"Someone is coming outside. I'll go back into your soul. If you want to communicate with me, just speak in your mind."

With that, Gong Qianxue's graceful figure moved and directly entered the Life and Death Coffin, the lid of which tightly closed at that moment.

Lin Yan shook his head helplessly, and with a thought, he stored the Life and Death Coffin back inside his body.

As for the medicinal materials Gong Qianxue mentioned, although they were very expensive, he still had to prepare them to improve his strength.

"Brother Lin Yan, what are you doing?"

Outside the door, a voice like a silver bell sounded, followed by a knock.

"Xue'er, the door isn't locked, just come in!" Lin Yan smiled faintly.

The door opened, and Lin Xue'er walked into the room with a smile, her hands behind her back.

"Xue'er, what's up? Did you come to see me for something?" Lin Yan asked.

"Brother Lin Yan, can't I come to see you if there's nothing?" Lin Xue'er blinked playfully.

"Of course you can." Lin Yan smiled, then looked at Lin Xue'er's hands with some confusion and said, "What are you hiding?"

"Here, it's this." Lin Xue'er giggled and extended her hands from behind her back. In her hands were two medium-sized jade bottles.

Inside the jade bottles were two pills the size of fingertips, entirely sky blue, looking very eye-catching.

"Are these Qi Condensation Pills?" Lin Yan asked in surprise.

"Yep, Qi Condensation Pills. Father asked me to bring them to you," Lin Xue'er replied.

Hearing this, a warm feeling flowed through Lin Yan's heart.

Qi Condensation Pills are pills made by alchemists.

He had seen them at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion before; each Qi Condensation Pill costs at least a thousand spirit stones.

Two Qi Condensation Pills, that's at least two thousand spirit stones, equivalent to the Lin family's income for half a year.

Lin Peng didn't know that his soul was one of the ten ancient divine souls. He only thought it was a soul whose function hadn't been discovered yet.

But even in this situation, Lin Peng didn't hesitate to spend at least two thousand spirit stones to buy Qi Condensation Pills for him, showing how much Lin Peng valued him.

"Alright, Brother Lin Yan, don't just stand there. Father said he believes you will definitely rise. Take the Qi Condensation Pills!" Lin Xue'er, seeing Lin Yan fall silent, urged him with a smile.

"Lin Yan! You, a waste, don't even deserve to enjoy such good things as Qi Condensation Pills!"

However, just as Lin Yan was about to reach for the pills, a voice filled with intense ridicule echoed through the courtyard.

As soon as this voice spread, Lin Xue'er's face changed, and her beautiful eyes looked toward the courtyard. When she saw the figure clearly, she immediately scolded, "Lin Tian! You actually followed me?"

The figure walking into the courtyard wore a gray robe, with an unremarkable appearance, even a bit lecherous.

This person was none other than Lin Tian, who had previously knocked Lin Yan unconscious.

Seeing Lin Tian appear, a fierce look appeared in Lin Yan's eyes. He didn't go looking for him, yet Lin Tian dared to come to him.

"Xue'er, I wasn't following you. I just came here to see Lin Yan, the waste. I didn't expect to hear what you said just now," Lin Tian said, spreading his hands in an innocent gesture after being scolded by Lin Xue'er.

"My name is Lin Xue'er. Xue'er isn't something you can call." Lin Xue'er was immediately angry. She naturally didn't believe Lin Tian's lies. This scoundrel clearly followed her and still denied it.

"Hehe, it's all the same!" Lin Tian showed a lecherous smile, then his gaze turned to Lin Yan, and the smile on his face immediately disappeared, replaced by a mocking expression. "Lin Yan, do you know how much you've disgraced the Lin family?"

"Wang Ning awakened the Ice and Snow Divine Soul and was recognized by a teacher from the Crimson Flame Academy. You actually dared to go to the Wang family's gate to confront her and even made a three-year agreement with someone. Who do you think you are! You're just a waste who awakened a top-grade waste soul!"

"Lin Tian! You!" Hearing this, Lin Xue'er's face turned red with anger.

No matter what, they were all part of the Lin family. Even if he didn't help his own people, Lin Tian actually spoke up for Wang Ning, a disgrace to the Lin family.

"Xue'er, there's no need to get angry with this fool." Lin Yan patted Lin Xue'er's shoulder.

"Who are you calling a fool?" Lin Tian was furious.

"Calling you a fool, are you deaf?" Lin Yan sneered.

"Waste! I'm giving you a chance now. Hand over the Qi Condensation Pills to me, and I won't beat you today. Otherwise, you'll regret it!" A vicious look appeared on Lin Tian's face as he greedily eyed the two jade bottles in Lin Xue'er's hands.

"No way!" Lin Xue'er's hands tightened, gripping the two jade bottles firmly.

Lin Yan took a step forward, leading Lin Xue'er out of the room. "I said before that I would beat you the next time I see you. Since you came to me, it saves me a lot of trouble."

"Brother Lin Yan, don't fight him!" Lin Xue'er, seeing Lin Yan about to fight Lin Tian, quickly whispered in his ear.

She knew that Lin Tian was a Fourth Rank Warrior and had awakened a Scorpion Soul, which had strong offensive power.

Lin Yan was only a Third Rank Warrior. If he fought Lin Tian, Lin Yan would definitely be at a disadvantage. She didn't want to see Lin Yan get hurt.

"It's fine, Xue'er. Today, I'll show you how I deal with this fool. Otherwise, he'll really think I'm easy to bully."

Lin Yan walked forward, a cold look in his eyes. He took a step and quickly charged at Lin Tian.
