Chapter 70: New Check-in Locations, Xie Family, Black Dragon Stronghold!
Upon hearing Lin Dong's inquiry, Lin Yan didn't conceal the truth. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, I just broke through today."
But Lin Dong and Qingtan were dumbfounded upon hearing this.
Both of them knew the difficulty of breaking through to the Yuan Dan Realm.
Their grandfather, Lin Zhentian, had been stuck at this level for many years without a breakthrough.
They never expected Lin Yan to succeed in breaking through all at once.
So at this moment, when they continued to look at Lin Yan, both of them were a bit dumbfounded.
After a brief moment of shock, Lin Dong couldn't help but smile wryly and say, "Lin Yan, you're really a monster."
"If Grandpa knew that you broke through to the Yuan Dan Realm so quickly, he might be greatly shocked."
Lin Yan replied with a smile, "Not at all, Grandpa would be overjoyed for me."
Turning to the two of them, Lin Yan asked with some curiosity, "By the way, did you come to find me on purpose?"
Lin Dong and Qingtan nodded at Lin Yan, then replied directly:
"Grandpa asked us to find you."
"Since you have already eliminated all of Xie Qian's men, the remaining members of the Xie Family are just a bunch of losers."
"They dared to make a move against our Lin Family, so we won't show any mercy. Yesterday, Uncle led some people to raid the Xie Family. Not only did we take over their remaining assets, but we also brought back some good stuff."
"And some things we obtained from the Black Dragon Stronghold have also been brought over."
"Grandpa specifically asked me to find you and see if there's anything you like among them, and you can take it directly."
Lin Yan understood the intention of the two when he heard this, nodding to them, "I see, I'll go later. I haven't eaten yet, so I'll grab a meal first."
Lin Dong and Qingtan accompanied Lin Yan to have a meal.
During the meal, Lin Dong, who had a good relationship with Lin Yan, couldn't help but tease him, "Lin Yan, you now have a high status in the Lin Family."
"Grandpa has to wait for you to finish eating before seeing you."
Lin Yan gave Lin Dong a glance and said, "You little brat, asking for a beating!"
After some laughter and conversation, they finished their meal and headed directly to the main hall of the Lin Family to find Lin Zhentian.
Lin Zhentian had indeed been waiting for Lin Yan here for quite some time.
But upon seeing Lin Yan, he didn't show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he greeted him with a smile, "Yan'er, you're here."
Lin Yan smiled back and replied, "Grandpa, I just went to eat, did I keep you waiting?"
Lin Zhentian waved his hand at Lin Yan, "No, it's just a small matter, it's fine."
Lin Yan joked, "That's good. Lin Dong was teasing me just now, saying that I'm too important in the Lin Family now. Even you are waiting for me."
Lin Dong smirked when he heard this, while Qingtan couldn't help but chuckle.
After giving Lin Dong a glare, Lin Zhentian said, "Don't listen to this brat's nonsense."
Then he planned to take Lin Yan to see the spoils obtained from the Black Dragon Stronghold and the Xie Family.
But just as he turned around and then quickly turned back, he looked at Lin Yan with a strange expression.
"Hmm, something's not right, Yan'er."
"Why do I feel like your aura is..."
Lin Zhentian stroked his beard and carefully scrutinized Lin Yan.
After hearing this, Lin Dong couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, you just noticed? Lin Yan broke through to the Yuan Dan Realm today. I thought you would have noticed with just one glance."
Lin Zhentian was stunned on the spot.
Then, after regaining his senses, he walked up to Lin Yan with excitement in his eyes and checked him over, "Yan'er, what Dong'er said, is it true?"
Lin Yan nodded with a smile, and the aura of a Yuan Dan Realm warrior burst forth from his body without reservation.
"Absolutely true!"
Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from him, whether it was Lin Dong, Qingtan, or Lin Zhentian, they all felt a strong sense of pressure.
Soon, Lin Zhentian came to his senses, and his eyes were filled with joy as he looked at Lin Yan.
"Hahaha!"
"Great, great, great!"
"My Lin Family now also has a Yuan Dan Realm powerhouse!"
"Wonderful! You truly deserve to be our Lin Family's top genius!"
Lin Zhentian laughed heartily, not feeling upset at all that Lin Yan had broken through first. On the contrary, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He lavished praise on Lin Yan as if he himself had achieved the breakthrough.
Then Lin Zhentian quickly asked Lin Yan, "Yan'er, how many stars is your Yuan Dan?"
Lin Zhentian speculated that with Lin Yan's talent, his Yuan Dan should be at least six or seven stars.
However, after a careful inspection, he was dumbfounded.
Because he found out that Lin Yan's Yuan Dan was not the six or seven-star Yuan Dan he had guessed, but a ten-star Yuan Dan that he had never even heard of before.
Lin Zhentian was momentarily shocked by this revelation.
But he realized how extraordinary Lin Yan's Yuan Dan was. So when he looked at Lin Yan again, his eyes became even more excited.
"Haha, that's great!"
"I, Lin Family, now have a superb Yuan Dan in our midst!"
"Excellent! You truly deserve to be the number one genius of our Lin Family!"
Lin Zhentian laughed heartily, feeling overjoyed. He didn't feel any regret about being surpassed by Lin Yan; instead, he was delighted. He praised Lin Yan without reservation, as if it were Lin Yan's breakthrough.
Then, Lin Zhentian quickly asked Lin Yan, "Yan'er, are you going to the Black Dragon Stronghold and the Xie Family now that they are part of our Lin Family's territory?"
Lin Zhentian nodded at Lin Yan, "Yes, are you going?"
Lin Yan nodded in response, "Yes, I have something to do."
Lin Zhentian asked, "Do you need any help?"
Lin Yan shook his head with a smile, "No need, I just want to take a look, nothing major."
Lin Zhentian didn't ask further.
After all, he was already very familiar with Lin Yan now. He knew that Lin Yan was a sensible person who could handle many things on his own, so there was no need for him to intervene too much.
"Alright, be careful on your way."
"I should start trying to break through to the Yuan Dan Realm myself."
"Thanks to you and Dong'er, we found more vigorous Yang Energy in the Sun Yuan Stone mine last time, and we also obtained Yin Power from Qingtan."
"Now with the help of your pill, I'm going to try to break through to the Yuan Dan Realm."
"I can't let you young people surpass me!"
Lin Zhentian sighed with emotion as he touched his beard.
"Then, Yan'er, I wish you success in breaking through."
Lin Yan smiled and bowed to Lin Zhentian.
After that, he quickly left the main hall with Lin Dong and others.
Lin Dong didn't plan to go out with Lin Yan this time.
After all, Lin Yan's sudden surge in strength today and his successful breakthrough to the Yuan Dan Realm dealt him a significant blow.
So Lin Dong decided to return to cultivate.
But Qingtan had nothing to do, so Lin Dong let her go with Lin Yan. As for the Fire Python Tiger, Little Flame, that he had been raising, he lent it to Lin Yan as a means of transportation.
"I wonder if I can complete the check-in this time."
At this moment, Lin Yan had arrived at the gate of Tie Mu Village. Looking at the Fire Python Tiger brought by Qingtan, Lin Yan smiled and murmured to himself.
His goal this time was to visit the Xie Family and the Black Dragon Stronghold, two important locations, to see if he could complete the check-in.
