Martial Universe: The system rewards are too many, I'm invincible!

Moreover, the violent elements within this mass of Yang energy have now completely dissipated!

"This……"

The three of them stared in disbelief at the scene, their hearts filled with a mixture of surprise and joy.

After a while, Lin Zhentian came to his senses and excitedly grabbed Lin Yi's hand, "Yi'er, how did you do that?"

Lin Zhentian had been stuck in the late stage of the Tianyuan Realm for many years. The Yang Gang Qi here was related to whether he could step into the Yuan Dan Realm, so how could he not be excited?

"I simply absorbed the Yang energy here into my body, circulated it once, and those violent factors dissipated automatically. I don't understand the specific reason..."

Lin Yi blinked and pretended to be stupid.

"Father, could it be that Yi'er has a special constitution? Is he able to automatically expel these harmful substances from the body?" Lin Xiao frowned and pondered.

Lin Zhentian also frowned, completely puzzled by this.

“Hehe, Father, Third Brother, whatever the reason, this is a good thing, isn’t it?” Lincoln said with a smile from the side.

“Grandpa, if you want to cultivate in the future, I will first absorb these Yang Qi into my body and refine them before passing them on to you. That way, you can absorb them too,” Lin Yi said at the right moment.

"Yes! Yes!" Upon hearing this, Lin Zhentian shuddered, so excited that he became somewhat incoherent.

Lincoln and Lin Xiao, who were standing nearby, couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

Lin Zhentian snapped out of his daze, looking slightly embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said in a deliberately authoritative tone, "Alright, it's getting late. Go back and rest."

After saying that, Lin Zhentian took the lead and walked out of the mine.

Lin Yi and the other two exchanged a glance, then followed him out of the mine and headed back into the village.

After returning to his room, Lin Yi sat cross-legged on the bed, touched the palm of his right hand with his fingertips, and then slowly closed his eyes.

Suddenly, his mind went blank for a moment, and the familiar dark mental space reappeared.

Within the Stone Talisman's spiritual space, those same few figures still tirelessly practice their respective martial arts.

Lin Yi's gaze swept over the several beams of light and shadow. This time, however, he did not follow the beams of light and shadow to cultivate as he usually did. Instead, he slowly examined this dark space with a scrutinizing eye.

Lin Yi even released his immense spiritual power, meticulously scanning every inch of this dark space.

Lin Yi searched carefully three times and finally found a black rat about the size of a palm, its body as black as ink, in a corner of the dark space.

The small eyes of that black rat were filled with a very human-like sense of caution.

Clearly, this black rat is the spirit of the Heavenly Demon Sable Little Sable!

"It was just a mouse!"

Lin Yi pretended not to recognize her, saying this as he stepped closer to the little sable.

"You bastard, you're the rat!"

Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, the little ferret immediately abandoned all pretense of hiding. Its fur stood on end, and it emerged from the darkness, its small eyes glaring at Lin Yi with boundless rage.

Lin Yi chuckled and said, "You're clearly just a rat, don't you even recognize your own kind?"

"You ignorant brat, I am a Heavenly Demon Sable, not a rat!" the little sable said sharply upon hearing this.

"I do know about the Heavenly Demon Sable. But with your pathetic appearance, how dare you call yourself the Heavenly Demon Sable?" Lin Yi teased with a smile when he saw the little sable's exasperated look.

The little sable waved its paws and said angrily, "Master Sable was just ambushed."

"Alright, whether you're a Heavenly Demon Sable or not, you secretly absorbed my spiritual medicine today, shouldn't you give me some compensation?" Lin Yi stroked his chin and looked at the little sable.

"Hmph, if I hadn't helped you absorb some of the medicinal power of the Fire Ancestor Demon Flower, you would have been dead long ago. You don't even thank me, and you still want compensation from me?" Little Marten sneered.

Lin Yi smiled faintly and said, "You can't fool me with that. You must know something about the function of the stone talisman. With the stone talisman, even if I can't absorb all the medicinal power of the Fire Ancestor Demon Flower, I won't be in any danger."

The little sable's eyes darted around, its paws crossed over its chest, and it said arrogantly, "Kid, I am the owner of the stone talisman. If the stone talisman helps you, then I am helping you."

“Perhaps you were indeed the owner of the stone talisman before, but now, the owner of the stone talisman is me!” Lin Yi glanced at the little sable and said.

"Say what you will, believe it or not. Kid, now that you have the stone talisman, you can come in if you want, but we'll keep to ourselves. I won't bother you, so don't bother me!" Little Mink said with a smirk.

Lin Yi looked the little sable up and down for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "You seem to be very afraid of me?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Upon hearing this, the little sable immediately put its two paws on its waist and laughed loudly, as if it had heard something extremely ridiculous.

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled slightly, then suddenly grabbed out, his mental energy wrapping around the little sable like countless ropes, instantly binding it and pulling it to his side.

"Boy, let go of Master Mink!" The little mink was caught, and his face immediately showed panic. His short legs struggled incessantly.

Unfortunately, spiritual power was just the right thing to suppress the demon spirit, leaving only the demon spirit's little sable, which was completely unable to break free from Lin Yi's spiritual power ropes.

"Kid, even though Lord Mink is just a demon spirit now, don't provoke him, or none of us will get away with it."

Seeing that he couldn't break free, a fierce glint flashed in the little sable's eyes, and it threatened Lin Yi.

Lin Yi brought the little sable to him and put it down, saying calmly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Since you said you were once the owner of the stone talisman, you should know something about it. Tell me everything you know about the stone talisman."

"Why should I tell you?" After landing, the little ferret patted its bottom and tried to dart into the darkness.

"First, although it might come at a price, I can take care of you if I want to. I've heard that consuming demonic spirits has considerable benefits..."

Lin Yi smiled slightly, noticing the immediate tension in Xiao Diao's eyes, and continued, "Secondly, cooperation would benefit both of us. You don't want to exist as a demon spirit forever, until you weaken and perish, do you?"

"You guide me to familiarize myself with some of the functions of the stone talisman, helping me fight enemies in crucial moments. In return, I might be able to help you restore your demon spirit, or even reshape your physical body. What do you say?"

Chapter 31 The Spiritual Power Millstone, Black Dragon Stronghold Attacks!

After hearing Lin Yi's words, the little sable's eyes lit up immediately. It licked its lips and said, "Reshaping the physical body is too far away. What I need now is a spiritual medicine that can nourish the demon spirit, like the Fire Ancestor Demon Flower from last time."

"No problem, I'll do my best to help you find them. If there's a chance, I can even find some demon spirits for you," Lin Yi nodded slightly and said.

"However, the prerequisite is that I have to become stronger. And don't distrust me; right now, besides me, who else can help you?"

The little sable was silent for a moment before saying, "Speak, what do you want to know?"

"Can this stone talisman quickly enhance spiritual power or Yuan power?" Lin Yi asked, his eyes flickering slightly.

"There are ways to accelerate the improvement of mental strength, but not in terms of elemental strength," the little sable pondered for a moment, then said.

"Moreover, you must be able to endure that kind of suffering, otherwise it will be in vain."

"Take me to try it out," Lin Yi said immediately upon hearing this.

"Come with me. This stone talisman space is very complex, but most things are sealed. Fortunately, the place you need is still accessible."

The little sable nodded, then turned and shot into the darkness. Lin Yi followed without hesitation.

In the darkness, Lin Yi followed closely behind Little Mink, taking an extremely zigzag route.

After a while, the little sable in front of him suddenly disappeared, and a faint white light suddenly appeared in front of Lin Yi's eyes.

Within that white light, Lin Yi saw two enormous crystal millstones slowly rotating.

As the millstone rotated, a peculiar fluctuation slowly emanated from it.

"This is the mental millstone, the place that can help you accelerate your mental power cultivation."

The little ferret had somehow scurried onto Lin Yi's shoulder, its paws pointing to the point where the two crystal millstones met, where white light condensed, and even space itself seemed to be slightly distorted.

"How do I use it?" Lin Yi glanced at the crystal millstone and then asked.

Upon hearing this, Little Marten didn't hide anything and directly explained how to use the mental energy millstone.

After listening, Lin Yi took a deep breath, leaped into the ball of light at the junction of the two giant millstones.

In the next instant, Lin Yi lost control of his body under an irresistible force. Then, he felt his body begin to crumble inch by inch until it became scattered spiritual light points, and then gathered together to restore itself.

This cycle repeats itself endlessly, and the process is absolutely excruciating!

The little ferret, watching this scene, lost much of its playful tone, and its gaze towards Lin Yi now held a hint of admiration.

"Kid, not bad, you actually survived nine times..."

When Lin Yi returned to the little ferret's side, it waved its little paws and smiled.

Lin Yi forced a smile in return; compared to Lin Dong in the original novel, he was still slightly inferior.

However, Lin Yi accepted the result calmly, after all, he was originally just an ordinary person.

Then, Little Marten suggested that Lin Yi get some spiritual medicine that could nourish his spiritual power, and then he disappeared back into the darkness.

After Xiao Diao left, Lin Yi's mind stirred, and he left the mental space.

……

Next, Lin Yi and Lin Zhentian went to that special cave to absorb Yang Qi and cultivate. Of course, they also did not neglect their spiritual cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.

Three months have passed since the last sale of Yang Yuan Stones.

Although the mining was done in one less month than last time, the total amount of Yang Yuan Stones mined in these three months was much more than the previous batch due to increased mining proficiency.

Lin Zhentian reluctantly exited his cultivation state, but decided to personally escort the batch of Yang Yuan Stones to Yan City for sale.

The profits from selling Yang Yuan Stones are extremely important to the entire Lin family.

Moreover, Lin Zhentian also received some bad news.

"This transport trip will likely not be as easy as last time. There are rumors that this batch of Yang Yuan Stones from my Lin family has probably attracted some hungry wolves..."

Inside a large hall in Tiemu Manor, Lin Zhentian looked at Lin Xiao and the others with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice.

"Oh? Could it be that the Lei family is about to make a move?" Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao and the others' expressions changed.

"Heh, Lei Bao is cunning and treacherous. He wouldn't make a move so easily. According to the information I've received, the one who's eyeing this batch of Yang Yuan Stones from my Lin family is probably the Black Dragon Stronghold," Lin Zhentian sneered.

Black Dragon Stronghold is a well-known bandit force within a radius of several hundred miles from Qingyang Town. It has two leaders who are at the Heavenly Origin Realm, and these two are quite famous in Qingyang Town.

Lin Xiao frowned and asked, "How did Black Dragon Stronghold know that we were transporting a large batch of Yang Yuan Stones?"

"Heh heh, the Lei family's methods are probably involved in this. It seems they've become suspicious of my Lin family's recent actions," Lin Zhentian sneered.

"Father, are you saying that Black Dragon Stronghold was manipulated by the Lei family?" Lincoln and Lin Mang asked, their faces darkening.

"Based on my understanding of Lei Bao, that's most likely the case," Lin Zhentian nodded slightly, his gaze cold.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "This time, I will personally lead the convoy, with Lin Xiao and Lin Mang accompanying me, and Lincoln and Yi'er stationed at Ironwood Manor. I want to see if Black Dragon Stronghold really dares to attack my Lin family!"

“Grandpa, I have a different idea,” Lin Yi suddenly said from the side.
