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

After all, they didn't have a good older brother who was at the sixth level of Body Tempering...

Chapter 2 Good brother, you can't handle this, take the Ancestral Stone!

[Ding! Host stood up for his brother, demonstrating brotherhood; reward: one Rejuvenation Pill!]

[Note: Rejuvenation Pill, a low-grade healing pill, is remarkably effective for those at or below the Heavenly Origin Realm!]

On the other side, Lin Yi had only taken a few steps carrying Lin Dong when the system's childish voice rang in his mind again.

At the same time, a small porcelain bottle appeared in Lin Yi's hand.

"Hmm? Healing pills? These can be used by Father," Lin Yi thought with delight, then seemed to remember something.

"System, if someone sees me distributing rewards in the future, and I can't explain it, could you please change the way rewards are distributed?"

[Ding! Okay, host. From now on, rewards will be directly deposited into your Qiankun Ring, which you can access at any time!]

That would be perfect!

Lin Yi's eyebrows twitched slightly, feeling that this system was very thoughtful.

After Lin Yi sent Lin Dong back, he inevitably got a few words of scolding from Lin Xiao.

However, he ignored it and didn't take it to heart.

After seeing Lin Changqiang off, Lin Yi returned to his room, his brows furrowed, a hint of hesitation in his heart.

Based on today's situation, Lin Dong has not yet obtained the Ancestral Stone.

Lin Yi hesitated, wondering whether he should go and retrieve the ancestral stone.

The ancestral stone represents not only opportunity, but also a heavy responsibility!

Once he steals Lin Dong's opportunity, he will have to take on the responsibility of saving the Tianxuan Continent in Lin Dong's place!

Because of this responsibility, Lin Dong in the original novel went through an extremely difficult time and almost lost his life several times!

In the end, Lin Dong saved the Tianxuan Continent, but lost his beloved and almost collapsed.

"Damn it! What's there to be afraid of! In the original story, Lin Dong recklessly charged straight through and ultimately succeeded!"

"Now that I have foresight and the system, this incredible cheat code, there's no reason for me to fail!"

After a moment of shifting expression, Lin Yi gritted his teeth and made up his mind!

"Lin Dong, my good brother, if you can't handle the Ancestral Stone, let your older brother do it!"

"I've taken on the responsibility of avenging Lin Langtian and saving the Tianxuan Continent for you. You should stay by your parents' side and take care of them. I'm doing this for your own good..."

After some mental preparation, Lin Yi made up his mind, strode out of the room, and headed towards the depths of the back mountain, his momentum unstoppable...

Ten minutes later, a steep cliff appeared in front of Lin Yi.

He glanced around and carefully leaped down some protruding rocks along the cliff.

These stones were inconspicuous, yet they formed a hidden path.

Before long, a cave hidden under several boulders came into view.

The cave is extremely well hidden; it would be impossible to find unless you specifically search for it.

This cave was discovered by chance by Lin Dong when he was a child, and later Lin Yi and Qing Tan also learned about it.

Inside the cave, apart from a stone pool about two or three zhang in size, there seemed to be nothing special. A chill wafted from the pool water.

Lin Yi glanced around the cave casually, then looked up at the cave ceiling above the stone pool.

After some searching, Lin Yi found a rock about the size of two fingers.

The stone is a pale grayish-white color, but when you squeeze it in your hand, it has a strangely soft feel.

The texture was neither stone nor jade nor wood; it was truly magical!

On that stone, some obscure patterns could be vaguely seen, looking like a magical rune.

Clearly, this stone is the second most important divine object on the Tianxuan Continent: the Ancestral Stone!

The ancestral stone is now severely damaged and many of its functions are unusable; perhaps it should be called a stone talisman more accurately.

On the groove of the stone talisman, a drop of deep red liquid, like blood, was condensed.

Without a doubt, that was the Stone Talisman Elixir!

Lin Yi was well aware of the effects of the Stone Talisman Elixir.

With a slight thought, he took out the small porcelain bottle that had previously contained the Bone Cleansing and Marrow Cleansing Pill from his Qiankun Ring, and carefully collected the drop of Stone Talisman Spirit Liquid into the small porcelain bottle.

Lin Yi first put the small porcelain bottle back into his Qiankun Ring. After trying to put the stone talisman into the Qiankun Ring, he found that he could not put it in the ring. So he put it in the inner pocket of his clothes and then leisurely returned to his residence.

"Brother Lin Yi, you're back. I was just about to call you," a figure as graceful as a butterfly greeted Lin Yi as he reached the entrance of the courtyard.

She was a little girl who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old. She wore a simple light-colored outfit, but it couldn't hide the liveliness on her face.

Although the little girl is young, her face is already quite delicate, and her big eyes are blinking, making her look extremely cute.

This girl is Qingtan, the younger sister of Lin Yi and Lin Dong. However, she was adopted by Liu Yan in the snow.

"Is there something you need?" Lin Yi gently patted Qing Tan's head, a warm smile on his face.

"It's almost dark, Mom told me to call you home for dinner," Qingtan said, gently swatting Lin Yi's hand away.

"It seems that I came back just in time."

Lin Yi smiled and replied, then stepped into the small courtyard where the family of five lived.

Qingtan skipped and hopped along behind Lin Yi.

"Brother, thank you for standing up for me today," Lin Dong said, having already woken up. Upon seeing Lin Yi's return, he stood up and thanked him.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "There's no need for formalities between brothers. However, before the clan competition, try not to clash with Lin Shan and the others. Focusing on improving your strength is the most important thing."

"Hmm," Lin Dong nodded upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao nodded slightly. "Alright, let's eat."

After dinner, Lin Yi returned to his small room.

After locking the door, Lin Yi reviewed the Tongbei Quan he had been practicing for two and a half months, quickly washed up, and then went to bed to rest...

Night fell, enveloping the earth.

The cool moonlight poured down, washing away the remaining heat from the earth.

On the bed, Lin Yi was fast asleep with his eyes closed, and rays of moonlight streamed in through the window, shining on him.

The cool moonlight focused on Lin Yi's chest, where the stone talisman was hidden.

Suddenly, the stone talisman emitted specks of light, which shone on Lin Yi.

At this moment, Lin Yi, who had been fast asleep, opened his eyes slightly, and then felt a wave of dizziness.

Then, he found himself in a pitch-black space.

"Hey!"

In the pitch-black space, a voice suddenly rang out, and a figure of light and shadow exactly like Lin Yi suddenly appeared, expressionlessly performing a set of fist techniques.

That set of boxing techniques was the Tongbei Fist that Lin Yi had been practicing for two and a half months...

Lin Yi stared intently at the figure of light and shadow practicing its fist technique. He discovered that the Tongbei Fist technique performed by this figure of light and shadow was even more perfect than that of his father, Lin Xiao!

"Clap clap clap..."

In the pitch-black space, the light and shadow moved swiftly, their fists constantly waving, their faces expressionless, yet their figures were full of spiritual energy.

After the light and shadow unleashed the perfect nine strikes of the Tongbei Fist, a faint muffled thud emanated from its arm once more!

"So this is the tenth strike of Tongbei Quan...?"

Lin Yi stared intently at the movement of the light and shadow, muttering to himself.

Although he already knew about the magic of the stone talisman, Lin Yi was still overjoyed to see it in person!

After a while, Lin Yi spread his legs, assumed a stance, and imitated the light and shadow, performing the Tongbei Fist.

Chapter 3: Filial Piety and Fatherly Love, A Chill Erupts!

Early in the morning.

When Lin Yi woke up, the sunlight was already shining on his face.

As soon as Lin Yi got up, he felt an extreme soreness all over his body, as if he had been cultivating desperately all night.

"I don't know how many 'thunderous strikes' I can generate now..."

Lin Yi murmured to himself, then, enduring the soreness in his body, began practicing Tongbei Fist again.

Lin Yi wielded a set of boxing techniques with ease, as if he had honed them countless times.

"Clap clap clap..."

As Lin Yi moved, slapping sounds could be heard intermittently in the room.

When the set of punches was finished, a total of nine crisp sounds were produced!

"Overnight, I actually improved from five strikes in Tongbei Quan to nine strikes!"

Lin Yi clenched his fists, his face filled with excitement.

The effects of the stone talisman are terrifying!

After a while, Lin Yi composed himself, pushed open the door, and walked towards the main courtyard.

Every morning, when Lin Yi arrived at the main courtyard, his mother, Liu Yan, had already prepared breakfast, and today was no exception.

"Father, I recently obtained two healing pills by chance. I tried one and found it to be very effective. Please use this one to heal your injuries!"

After the family finished breakfast, Lin Yi thought of something, reached into his pocket, took out a small porcelain bottle from his Qiankun Ring, and handed it to Lin Xiao.

The small porcelain bottle contained the Rejuvenating Pill.

Lin Yi said this on purpose to ensure that Lin Xiao would be willing to take the pill.

“My situation is different from yours, you should keep this pill…” Lin Xiao’s eyes flickered, and he said dejectedly.
