WDQK: Incredible Understanding At The Beginning

Chapter 27: Lin Zhentian's Surprise, Lei Family's New Move!

"Who is this expert? Why are you spying on my Lin family for no reason?"

At the same time, Lin Tian noticed Lin Zhentian's stern shout through his mental power.

Upon realizing this, Lin Tian quickly withdrew his mental power.

The brief shockwave left Lin Tian's face somewhat pale.

After all, in terms of mental strength, Lin Tian had just stepped into the threshold and was still too weak.

Shaking his head slightly, Lin Tian recovered his mental strength according to the records in the Spiritual Movement Chapter and continued to practice.

On the other side, Lin Zhentian had a solemn expression and was filled with doubt. He couldn't understand why a talisman master would spy on the Lin family.

Just when Lin Zhentian wore a serious look, he sensed a different fluctuation of mental power.

His expression darkened, and he shouted, "Who are you? Please show yourself!"

As he shouted, Lin Zhentian unleashed a powerful wave of Yuanli, which struck the empty space in front of him fiercely.

This was, of course, a reaction to the mental fluctuations resulting from Lin Dong's entry into spiritual power cultivation.

Lin Dong, immersed in the joy of starting his spiritual power training, was unaware that Lin Zhentian had sensed the fluctuations twice in a row, making him increasingly solemn.

Lin Tian, who was cultivating his spiritual power, also detected the fluctuations originating from Lin Dong's mental energy.

After a brief pause, Lin Tian took the initiative to seek out Lin Zhentian's room.

Since Lin Zhentian had been disturbed by the mental fluctuations, Lin Tian felt it necessary to clarify the situation to ensure that the elder could rest easily.

"What? You said that the mental fluctuations were the result of your mental training?" Lin Zhentian asked, surprised and delighted by Lin Tian's explanation.

Lin Tian added, "It's not just me. The first wave was my spiritual practice, and the second wave came from Lin Dong."

"Hahaha, good! That's great!" Lin Zhentian laughed heartily at the news.

His two most-prized grandsons were not only geniuses in cultivating Yuanli but also had the potential to cultivate spiritual power. How could he not be thrilled?

"By the way, where did you find the secret manual for cultivating spiritual power?" Suddenly, Lin Zhentian recalled something and asked Lin Tian.

Lin Tian replied, "Today in Yan City, when you and Uncle Lin Ken were selling Yang Yuan Stones, I took Qingtan and Lin Dong to explore the city, and we ended up at the Divine Weapon Hall..." Lin Tian did not hold back and immediately recounted the happenings at Divine Weapon Hall.

Lin Zhentian was surprised and delighted to hear this. "Dong'er was chosen by Master Yan?"

Lin Zhentian had visited Yan City countless times and knew very well the strength and status of Master Yan there.

After a brief pause, Lin Zhentian felt some regret. "It's a pity that Dong'er didn't agree to follow Master Yan to learn the way of talismans."

Lin Tian advised, "Grandpa, Lin Dong has his own destiny, and he is more opinionated than many adults. I think it's better not to interfere with his path, so he can go further."

Lin Zhentian looked deeply at Lin Tian and then smiled. "You are not only talking about Lin Dong, but you are also referring to yourself, right?"

"Grandpa has a keen eye," Lin Tian smiled but did not argue. "But don't worry, Lin Dong and I will work hard to realize your wish of returning to the master's house."

Lin Zhentian's expression changed slightly upon hearing Lin Tian's words, and he fell silent, reflecting on the master's house.

After a while, Lin Zhentian patted Lin Tian's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa is not the kind of person who insists on having the final say. I know you and Dong'er have your own opportunities, and I won't interfere."

"As for returning to the main family, you don't have to force it too much. Just do your best. I don't want you to experience what happened to your third uncle those years ago."

In fact, Lin Zhentian still harbored a deep obsession with returning to the main family.

However, he didn't want to place too much pressure on Lin Tian and Lin Dong.

Lin Tian nodded and said, "Thank you, Grandpa. If there's nothing else, I'll head back, and you should get some rest."

"You go," Lin Zhentian nodded casually.

Lin Tian didn't say anything more and returned to his room to rest.

In the following days, Lin Tian remained in Steel Wood Manor, practicing diligently.

His energy and mental strength progressed in tandem, and he also made no delays in his martial arts training.

Lin Dong practiced even more diligently than Lin Tian.

Qingtan, on the other hand, preferred to ride on Huo'er and play around when she wasn't practicing.

Huo'er grew rapidly, gradually catching up to Little Flame and even surpassing him. Qingtan no longer relied on Lin Dong's Little Flame.

The defense of Steel Wood Manor became increasingly tight, and the extraction of Yang Yuan Stone from the mine was also in full swing.

Everything was moving in the right direction.

While the Lin family thrived, the Lei family was also not idle.

They not only discovered that the Lin family had likely unearthed the Yang Yuan Stone in Steel Wood Manor, but they also secretly colluded with the robbers from Black Dragon Village near Qingyang Town.

…

Time passed like flowing water, swiftly approaching the present.

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed since the last trip to Yan City.

After three months of mining, a new batch of Yang Yuan Stones accumulated in Steel Wood Manor.

Lin Zhentian personally organized a convoy that was larger than the last one.

In a hall of Steel Wood Manor, Lin Zhentian stood at the head of the table and said solemnly, "This transportation will definitely not be as easy as last time."

"According to the information I received, this batch of Yang Yuan Stones from my Lin family may have attracted some hungry wolves..."

"Is it the Lei family that is going to take action?" Hearing Lin Zhentian's words, Lin Xiao couldn't help but ask.

Lin Zhentian shook his head slightly. "Lei Bao is cunning and will not act lightly. They must have incited those guys from Black Dragon Village."

"Black Dragon Village?"

Upon hearing this name, Lincoln, Lin Mang, and others also frowned.

Black Dragon Village is a well-known bandit force within a hundred miles of Qingyang Town, comprised of two leaders at the Heavenly Yuan realm. Their strength should not be underestimated.

Lin Zhentian pondered for a moment and continued, "I will still lead the convoy this time, with Lin Ken and Lin Mang accompanying us, while Lin Xiao stays in Steel Wood Manor."

"Tian'er and Dong'er, don't come with us this time, and remain in Steel Wood Manor."

Lin Tian's eyes flickered upon hearing this, thinking of the incident from the original book when Black Dragon Village attacked Steel Wood Manor.

However, the guard at Steel Wood Manor had shifted from Lin Ken, who was in the Heavenly Yuan Realm, to Lin Xiao, who was only in the Early Yuan Dan Realm.

Moreover, Lin Dong had broken through to the early stages of the Heavenly Yuan Realm, while he himself had reached the late stages. Dealing with the people from Black Dragon Village shouldn't be too difficult.

Thus, he chose not to mention it.

Once Lin Zhentian made the final decision, no one raised any further objections.

Soon, the convoy was assembled, with Lin Zhentian, his son, and two companions, alongside a group of guards, transporting a batch of Yang Yuan Stones towards Yan City.

"Everyone, stay vigilant. Don't let any suspicious individuals infiltrate the manor! If you notice anything unusual, send a signal immediately!" 

After Lin Zhentian and the others left, Lin Xiao issued strict orders to the remaining guards in Steel Wood Manor.

The atmosphere in Steel Wood Manor grew tense.

Many younger members of the Lin family had gathered in Steel Wood Manor, and feeling this atmosphere, they couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

"Lin Tian, do you think Grandpa and the others will be alright this time?" 

Lin Xia, one of the younger members close to Lin Tian, felt compelled to find him and ask.

Lin Tian smiled and replied, "There are only two Heavenly Yuan Realm masters in Black Dragon Village, but Grandpa and his people have three Heavenly Yuan Realm masters with them. What is there to worry about?"

Lin Tian, now the undisputed number one among the younger generation of the Lin family, had greatly instilled confidence in everyone.

After hearing Lin Tian's words, Lin Xia and several younger members of the Lin family felt much more reassured.

Following that, Lin Xia chatted with Lin Tian about some amusing stories from Qingyang Town.

Boom!

Suddenly, outside Steel Wood Manor, the thunderous sound of horse hooves echoed!

"Trouble is coming," Lin Tian whispered, swiftly making his way to the wall of Steel Wood Manor.

"What is that?"

Behind Lin Tian, Lin Dong, Qingtan, Lin Xia, and the others all followed.

As they gazed at the yellow dust kicked up by the galloping horses outside the village, their expressions changed drastically.
