Martial Universe: Invincible through lottery, with godlike comprehension from the start.

Lincoln, who had originally intended to stop Lin Mang, froze in his tracks upon seeing this scene.

At the top, Lin Zhentian, who was about to fly into a rage, suddenly stopped his anger!

Not only them, but also the invited guests in the trial hall were all shocked by the formidable strength Lin Xiao displayed.

It seems the Lin family's strength is about to reach a new level!

Lin Zhentian jumped onto the stone platform with delight, grabbed Lin Xiao's shoulder, and the father and son had an excited conversation. Then Lin Zhentian sternly reprimanded Lin Mang and announced the end of the clan competition.

After Lincoln finished dealing with the situation, several important figures from the Lin family gathered in the Lin family's backyard.

Lin Zhentian sat in the head seat, his face still showing some anger.

Below him are the direct descendants of the Lin family, such as Lincoln, Lin Mang, and Lin Xiao.

In addition, Lin Fan, Lin Dong, Lin Xia, and Qing Tan, who ranked in the top three in the clan competition, were also gathered in the courtyard.

Lin Zhentian first reprimanded Lin Mang, and then handed over the management of Huoyan Manor, which Lin Mang was in charge of, to Lin Xiao.

Then, Lin Zhentian turned to look at Lin Fan, Lin Dong, Lin Xia, and Qing Tan, his expression immediately softening, and he said with a smile:

"Today, Lin Fan and Lin Dong both performed exceptionally well, and of course, Lin Xia did well too."

"I will have someone send you the rewards for this competition as soon as possible. You three can also browse through the family's martial arts hall."

"If you need anything, just tell Grandpa. Let's try to make a breakthrough before the hunt in Qingyang Town, so that the Lin family can also increase its prestige in Qingyang Town."

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan and the other two thanked Lin Zhentian in unison.

Suddenly, Lin Zhentian seemed to remember something and said to Lin Dong, "By the way, Lin Dong, the strength you showed at the end clearly reached the eighth level of Body Tempering."

"Why did you admit defeat so easily when facing your brother Lin Fan? You two are at the same level, a battle would have been a good opportunity to hone your skills, and maybe you could have even won first place!"

"On the path of martial arts, one must have a spirit of striving for excellence; being too modest is also somewhat inappropriate."

Lin Dong scratched his head sheepishly, "Grandpa, you overestimate me. I'm afraid I would be defeated in one move by Brother Lin Fan, so it wouldn't serve as any training. That's why I conceded defeat directly."

"what?"

Upon hearing Lin Dong's words, everyone in the courtyard was shocked and turned to look at Lin Fan.

Lin Zhentian grabbed Lin Fan's arm, his expression excited, and asked, "Is what Lin Dong said true?"

Lin Fan touched his nose and said, "One move is too exaggerated, let's say within ten moves."

Lin Zhentian exclaimed in surprise, "You're already at the ninth level of the Body Tempering Realm?"

"I'm at the ninth level of Body Tempering, and I'm planning to break through to the Earthly Realm after the clan competition," Lin Fan nodded slightly, not hiding anything.

"Good, good, good!" Lin Zhentian exclaimed excitedly, saying "good" three times in a row. He held Lin Fan's hand tightly, reluctant to let go.

"Fan'er, cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the Earthly Realm before the Qingyang Town Hunting Tournament begins, so as to bring glory to the Lin family at the tournament!"

Lin Fan nodded and said, "I will."

[Ding! You touched Lin Zhentian and obtained the seventh-grade martial art, Five Elements Seal!]

At this moment, the system notification sounded in Lin Fan's mind again, but he was not in a hurry to check the prize.

"Monster!" Lin Xia rolled her eyes upon hearing this, quite shocked.

The three Lin brothers were also very shocked.

Lincoln and Lin Xiao were shocked but also delighted; Lin Mang, on the other hand, looked rather grim.

Lin Dong was already strong enough, but Lin Fan was even more outrageous. With this, how could his son Lin Hong possibly have a chance to rise in the Lin family?

Lin Zhentian encouraged Lin Dong and Lin Xia a few more times, and instructed everyone not to reveal Lin Fan's cultivation level to others for the time being, but to give other forces a surprise at the Qingyang Town Hunting Tournament!

"Alright, everyone, you can all leave now!"

With Lin Zhentian's final words, this gathering of family elites came to an end...

Chapter 9 Clan Competition Rewards: Refining Yang Yuan Stones!

After the clan competition ended, the small hill where Lin Fan and Lin Xiao's family lived became much more lively, with many people coming to celebrate that day.

By the time Lin Xiao and Liu Yan finished receiving the congratulatory guests, it was already dark.

Liu Yan prepared dinner, and the five of them gathered together again for dinner.

After finishing his meal, Lin Xiao put down his chopsticks and praised Lin Fan and Lin Dong for a long time, while also inquiring about their improvement speed.

Lin Fan and Lin Dong glossed over the matter, and Lin Xiao didn't investigate further.

After a pause, Lin Xiao said with a solemn expression, "Although you two performed well in this clan competition, you must not be too proud and slack off in your cultivation."

"In a few months, it will be the hunting event in Qingyang Town. The younger generation from other forces will come to participate, especially the younger generation from the Lei and Xie families. Their strength should not be underestimated. You can't let the Lin family down."

Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Third Uncle (Father), don't worry, I won't slack off!"

Lin Fan was familiar with the plot and naturally hadn't forgotten the hunt in Qingyang Town.

Moreover, during this hunting tournament, the Lin family and the Lei family will have a betting contest, with the Lin family winning a Ironwood Manor. Inside the Ironwood Manor, a Yangyuan Stone mine was discovered!

Thinking of this, Lin Fan remembered the large number of Yang Yuan Stones stored in his system space. It was time to ask Lin Dong for help in purifying them.

Lin Xiao nodded in satisfaction upon hearing their responses. After offering them a few words of encouragement, he suddenly took out two brocade boxes and handed them to Lin Fan and Lin Dong respectively, saying:

"This is a reward from Grandpa for you. Lin Fan will have two grade three spiritual herbs, and Lin Dong will have one grade three spiritual herb."

"In addition, you will also be qualified to enter the martial arts academy in the future, and you can choose the martial arts you want to practice at any time."

"A grade three spiritual medicine?"

Lin Fan and Lin Dong exchanged a glance, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes, before each accepting a brocade box.

"Alright, it's getting late. Let's go back and rest. I'll be going to check on Fire Flame Manor for a while. As for your cultivation, you can handle it yourselves."

Seeing the two accept the brocade box, Lin Xiao waved his hand and said casually.

"Ah."

Lin Fan and Lin Dong agreed, each taking a brocade box, and left the room.

"Wait for me!"

Seeing this, Qingtan shouted and hurriedly chased after him.

"Let's go to my room first," Lin Fan said to Lin Dong and Qing Tan after leaving Lin Xiao and his wife's room.

Lin Dong and Qing Tan nodded in unison upon hearing this, naturally having no objection.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Lin Fan's room.

Lin Fan locked the door from the inside, then walked to the table and opened the brocade box in his hand.

Seeing this, Lin Dong also walked to the table and opened his brocade box.

"Three grade-three spiritual herbs, all of them are actually Fire Blood Ganoderma lucidum!" Qing Tan exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the blood-red Ganoderma lucidum emitting an alluring fragrance in the two brocade boxes.

"Hehe, I don't care what kind they are, as long as they are effective in improving cultivation," Lin Fan chuckled, then said to Lin Dong, "Use stone talismans to purify them."

"Hmm," Lin Dong replied, placing his palm close to one of the Fire Blood Mushrooms.

The Fire Blood Mushroom withered quickly, and before long, the stone talisman in Lin Dong's palm spat out three fiery red pills.

Lin Dong placed the three pills into the brocade box, and then used the stone talisman to purify the remaining two Fire Blood Mushrooms.

The three Fire Blood Mushrooms yielded a total of nine pills.

Lin Fan pondered for a moment, then took five coins and gave the other four to Lin Dong.

Lin Dong couldn't refuse, so he accepted it, and his gratitude towards Lin Fan continued to deepen.

After distributing the pills purified from the Fire Blood Mushroom, Lin Fan said, "I have something else that I need your help with, Lin Dong."

Lin Dong immediately said, "Brother Lin Fan, if there's anything you need my help with, just let me know, and I'll definitely do it for you."

Qingtan raised her little hand and blinked, saying, "I can help Brother Lin Fan too."

"Hehe, this matter requires Lin Dong's stone talisman, so let's ask Qing Tan for help next time."

Lin Fan smiled and said something to Qing Tan, then reached into his robes and pretended to take out three Yang Yuan Stones, which he then handed to Lin Dong.

"Okay," Qingtan stuck out her cute tongue and obediently replied.

"This is... a Yang Yuan Stone?"

Lin Dong looked at the red crystal in Lin Fan's hand and asked in surprise.

“Not bad, I still have quite a few here. Next, use the stone talisman to help me purify them into Yang Yuan Pills,” Lin Fan nodded slightly and continued.

Lin Dong asked curiously, "What is the Yang Yuan Pill?"

Lin Fan smiled slightly and explained the Yang Yuan Pill to Lin Dong and Qing Tan, then said, "Under normal circumstances, it takes ten Yang Yuan Stones to refine one Yang Yuan Pill. However, the stone talisman is more efficient at refining it."

Lin Dong nodded slightly, holding the three Yang Yuan Stones in his hand. Suddenly, the stone talisman in his palm emitted a wave of energy.

Soon, the three Yang Yuan Stones, which had originally shimmered with a pale red luster, lost their light and eventually turned into a cloud of powder that drifted down.

Suddenly, rays of light shot out from Lin Dong's palm, emerging from his flesh and blood. The rays intertwined and condensed into a fiery red pill the size of a thumb!

"Is this the Yang Yuan Pill?" Lin Dong asked curiously, looking at the fiery red pill in his hand.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "That's right. I still have nearly six thousand Yang Yuan Stones here. In the next few days, when you're not cultivating, please help me refine them all into Yang Yuan Pills."

"So many?" Lin Dong was surprised when he heard this, and then said solemnly, "Don't worry, Brother Lin Fan, I will do it for you."

Lin Fan nodded slightly, and then made arrangements, "Well, I will hide the Yang Yuan Stone in the cave we often go to. It will be more discreet for you to refine it there."

Lin Dong naturally had no objection to this.

"Alright, it's getting late, you should all go back to your rooms and rest."

After finishing their business, Lin Fan said to Lin Dong and Qing Tan.

"Okay, goodnight, Brother Lin Fan," Lin Dong replied, handed the Yang Yuan Pill to Lin Fan, and then left with the brocade box.

Qingtan said sweetly, "Brother Lin Fan, I'm going back too."

"Wait a minute," Lin Fan suddenly remembered something and stepped forward to pat Qing Tan on the shoulder.

The next instant, the system's familiar voice rang in Lin Fan's mind once again.
