Chapter 18: The Lost Lin Dong
Chapter 18:
Lin Yun and Qing Tan have known each other for a short time. Although they have had a good impression of each other after meeting several times, their relationship still needs to be improved.
At the very least, the mission he set up to "capture Qingtan's heart" has not been completed yet.
This means that Qingtan's feelings for him have not reached the point where they can have in-depth communication.
Chi Ling's core secret belongs to him and can only be revealed to insiders.
Being able to help Qingtan is already Lin Yun's bottom line. This is still from the perspective of a time traveler, who knows that Qingtan is a little loli with a clean background and a simple mind. Even if he really knows, it will not pose too much of a threat to him.
If it were anyone else, it would be impossible to enjoy a steam sauna like the one in Red Spirit.
Qingtan did not feel any dissatisfaction after being rejected by Lin Yun.
She is an abandoned orphan, and her fate should have been even more miserable than Lin Yun's, but she is lucky. She has a harmonious family, a brother who takes care of her, and now she has brother Lin Yun who helps her solve the greatest physical pain.
I'm already so lucky, how can I ask for more?
Qingtan also understood that Brother Lin Yun had no relationship with her and had taken enough care of her. This secret and magical treasure was nothing but curiosity arising from her strong desire for knowledge. Even if she could not get the answer, her gratitude to Lin Yun would not diminish in the slightest. She was not related to Lin Yun in any way, so it was already very good that he could give it to her. Why should he share his core secrets with her?
The relationship hasn't reached that stage yet... Qingtan couldn't help but imagine that if she were engaged to Brother Lin Yun, perhaps he would be completely open to her.
As Qingtan thought about it, her face turned even redder.
"Brother Lin Yun, can I still use your treasure when I have an attack of cold in the future?" Qingtan asked in a low voice.
Lin Yun looked at her and said, "Of course you can, but it can only be used when there are only two of us. I don't want to expose my treasure to others."
"Yeah!" Qingtan nodded obediently and seriously.
It's great that Brother Lin Yun's treasure is only for her to use!
Although she doesn't know what Brother Lin Yun's treasure is, she is the only one who knows that Lin Yun has such a magical treasure. This is a secret between the two of them.
This was enough to make Qingtan feel happy.
Anyway, as long as she follows Lin Yun, she won't have to worry about the cold attack in the future.
"Brother Lin Yun, I'm fine!"
After a while, Qingtan felt relieved and said with ease.
"Well, wait until I help you remove the blindfold."
Lin Yun immediately jumped out of the alchemy furnace holding Qingtan, then put the alchemy furnace into his Qiankun bag and hid it between the layers of his clothes. Only then did he untie the black cloth strip on Qingtan's head.
Qingtan opened his eyes, blinked twice to adjust to the light, and then his gaze fell on Lin Yun's face. His eyes were full of tenderness and intimacy.
The dozens of minutes when she was blindfolded seemed like a long time to Qingtan. She completely broke through the shadow of coldness that had been shrouding her.
The clouds have been cleared and the sun has appeared.
It was like being reborn!
"Brother Lin Yun!" Qingtan called out tenderly.
It's the same name, but it feels different from before.
Qingtan looked around and compared the surroundings, and found that everything was the same as before she was blindfolded, nothing was new.
Where does that warmth come from?
Qingtan couldn't help but feel more curious.
How did Lin Yun control such a treasure so easily?
"Well, let's stop here today. Next time you feel that the cold is about to come, come to me in advance." Lin Yun agreed with Qingtan.
The two parted ways from the back mountain.
After returning to the yard, Lin Yun began to receive the reward.
Completed five tasks today.
A bottle of "third-grade Qi and blood pills" from Lin Xia.
From Lin Dong's "Physique +1" and "Comprehension +1".
"Charm +2", "Charm +2", "Luck +2" from Qingtan.
The improvement in attributes allowed Lin Yun to once again feel wave after wave of climaxes in both body and mind.
The charm attribute appeared for the first time, making Lin Yun feel subtle changes in his face and skin.
Charm does not only refer to appearance, but also spirit, temperament, eyes, etc., but this time the improvement in appearance is obvious.
Lin Yun looked in the mirror. Although he didn't see much change, he felt that he looked more pleasing to the eye.
He looked at the properties panel.
Constitution and comprehension increased by +1 to 12 respectively, but they are still outstanding.
Luck +2, still blue, no change.
One more line.
[Charm]: 13 (Outstanding)
It seems that her charm was only 9 before, which is a little better looking than the average person.
Now it is considered very charming.
"Master, let me go and show you a treasure."
Chi Ling suddenly transmitted the message.
"Do you have a baby too?"
Lin Yun found it curious, so he took Chi Ling out of his Qiankun bag, opened the top of the furnace, and saw four thumb-sized ice-white pills floating inside.
He took it out with surprise and held it in his hand, feeling a cool feeling.
"Is this... the energy of the cold air in Qingtan's body?" Lin Yun said in surprise. "Yes, Master, I found that her cold air is an extremely pure evil energy, which is good for cultivation. So, when I warm her up, I just refine the overflowing cold air and condense it into a pill."
"It's just that the energy expelled from her body carries her own aura. Master, if you dislike it, forget it."
Chi Ling explained that she could purify all kinds of energy and condense them into pills. However, she felt that this kind of pill refined through secondary recycling was a bit unclean and she was afraid that her master would not like it.
After all, there is a difference between origin and original flavor!
"Oh, is that so?" Lin Yun was slightly surprised, but he didn't mind at all.
Dislike? Lin Yun thought of the small handkerchief with the scent of lilac that Qingtan had used before, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
He wouldn't mind if the sweet little Lolita ate some of her saliva, let alone absorbing the cold air in her body.
Of course, this shameful thought cannot be exposed to Chi Ling.
"Since it is pure evil energy, it is a good thing and should not be wasted. As a cultivator, you should seek the truth wholeheartedly. Some flaws will not harm the truth. Just consider it as a test in the process of cultivation." Lin Yun said seriously and put the four ice-white pills into his pocket.
Does this count as stealing Lin Dong's opportunity... Lin Yun suddenly thought that Qingtan's cold air allowed Lin Dong to obtain a lot of Yin Pearls. The reason why Lin Dong's early training, especially after he reached the Earth Origin Realm, was so fast was partly due to Qingtan's cold air.
"No wonder there is luck +2."
Lin Yun couldn't help but smile. With the opportunity snatched away, Lin Dong's luck would definitely be affected. In turn, Lin Yun's luck would naturally increase.
…
Lin Dong has been secretly observing Qingtan these days.
"Strange, judging by the time, Qingtan's cold energy should have taken effect, why hasn't this girl reacted yet?"
Lin Dong was puzzled and wanted to ask Qingtan, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
You can't say that as a brother, he's hoping that she'll have a cold outburst.
Because of the stone talisman, Lin Dong can absorb the cold air of the Qingtan and condense it into a Yin Pearl. This is a good thing for him.
Lin Dong gave the Yin Pearl he got from Qingtan to his father Lin Xiao for appraisal. The Yin Pearl was comparable to the Yin Sha Qi of level five or above. It was of great benefit to the strong ones in the Earth Origin Realm and was a rare treasure for cultivation.
Every time Qingtan's cold energy erupts, he can get some benefits.
"Has Qingtan secretly had an attack?"
Seeing that several days had passed and Qingtan had not asked him for help in resisting the cold, Lin Dong couldn't help but have wild thoughts.
If Qingtan had an attack quietly and we didn't call him, it would be a waste.
Although he couldn't help Qingtan relieve much of the pain, the cold energy that erupted would also dissipate. Those were all precious resources for cultivation. Instead of wasting them, it would be better to make use of them.
However, due to his concealment, Qingtan did not know that he had a stone talisman that could condense a Yin Pearl.
"This girl, isn't she afraid that I'll worry if she sees me, so she chooses to bear it alone?"
"Forget it, just ask her directly."
Lin Dong couldn't hold it in any longer, so he found Qingtan and asked hesitantly, "Qingtan, your cold hasn't recurred for a while, how is your health?"
"Brother Lin Dong, you don't have to worry about me anymore. The problem of the cold has been solved. You don't have to waste your energy helping me resist the cold in the future." Qingtan said with a hearty smile.
Qingtan felt relieved when he thought that he would no longer have to worry about the pain of cold.
"What's going on? Are you okay? Why don't you need me anymore?" Lin Dong's mind was full of question marks, and his expression was complicated, with anxiety, surprise, worry, and a hint of loss.
"Oh, there's no need to explain so much. Just don't worry about me in the future." Qingtan evaded the question.
She had to keep it a secret for Brother Lin Yun and couldn't say too much.
Don't you need me anymore... Lin Dong suddenly felt a little lost.
The sister who used to follow him around seemed to have grown up. She was no longer keen on following him, and the sense of alienation was becoming more and more obvious.
What was the reason?
Lin Dong thought of someone, Lin Yun.
He discovered that it was during the time that Qingtan was close to Lin Yun that these subtle and abnormal changes occurred.
Could it be that Brother Lin Yun helped Qingtan solve the problem of cold air... As soon as this thought came to Lin Dong, he felt it was very possible.
"Is it Brother Lin Yun?" Lin Dong asked directly.
Qingtan dodged with her beautiful eyes, somewhat afraid to look at Lin Dong.
"It's indeed him. Your coldness is so severe that even my father can't solve it. How did Brother Lin Yun do it?" Lin Dong asked curiously.
His admiration for Lin Yun grew day by day, and now he felt that he was even more amazing. He tried to catch up with Lin Yun, but the more he progressed, the further he found himself from Lin Yun.
Brother Lin Yun was able to solve the cold problem that even the mysterious stone talisman in his hand could not solve.
It really made him feel incredible.
"Hey, Brother Lin Dong, please don't ask me any more questions. Anyway, Brother Lin Yun has already helped me solve the problem of coldness. As for the process, is it that important?" Qingtan said impatiently. She had promised Lin Yun not to reveal the existence of the treasure, so naturally she didn't want to say too much to Lin Dong.
This is a secret between her and Brother Lin Yun.
Qingtan slipped away right after he finished speaking, leaving Lin Dong alone and disheveled in the wind.
"It seems that everyone has their own secrets. I'm afraid I have underestimated Brother Lin Yun." Lin Dong thought of his stone talisman and suspected that Lin Yun also had secrets that he didn't want others to know.
I didn't ask Qingtan about his thoughts.
Anyway, Brother Lin Yun won't harm them.
It's just that my position in my sister's heart seems to be declining, or being surpassed by someone else.
Lin Dong couldn't help but sigh, "Alas, girls should not be kept at home when they grow up!"
