Chapter 381: Blood-Drop Technique Training!?

"The shorter the description, the more ferocious the effect..."

Yang Ling's heart couldn't help but tremble.

On the way back, he had already asked Lin Zhen about the effects of the Crimson Ghost Ginseng.

It mainly boosted Internal Technique cultivation and Vital Qi.

Lin Zhen hadn't mentioned Martial Arts Techniques, which meant this item probably wouldn't increase Martial Arts Technique proficiency.

"If it boosts Internal Technique cultivation, meaning Internal Technique experience, then perhaps it'll give quite a bit more than the Water Bodhi seed."

"As for Vital Qi... it should give at least two to three thousand points, right? After all, this is a Sacred Martial Medicine."

"The most critical effect is enhancing the ability of gene mutation!"

"If my Vital Qi reaches its peak, and I break through to Lower Fifth-Rank in optimal condition, combined with the miraculous effects of the Crimson Ghost Ginseng..."

"Then the weight of my Lower Fifth-Rank will absolutely not be weaker than any of the top-tier Lower Fifth-Rank martial artists under heaven!"

Yang Ling immediately closed the wooden box. He needed to find a safe place to consume this Crimson Ghost Ginseng.

"Senior Brother Yang, can I cultivate this Ironclad Divine Armor Sutra right now?"

Lin Zhen looked at Yang Ling with anticipation written all over his face.

Cultivate it now? Yang Ling was somewhat taken aback:

"You can, but are you sure you want to cultivate it right now? Don't you need to find a..."

Lin Zhen, right in front of him, sliced open his fingertip. Blood dripped onto the Ironclad Divine Armor Sutra.

The next moment, the Ironclad Divine Armor Sutra instantly transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into Lin Zhen's brow.

Yang Ling stood there, utterly dumbfounded.

Lin Baoshan and his wife, along with Lin Hua, on the other hand, seemed completely unsurprised by this scene, as if it were perfectly ordinary.

"It really is a second-rate internal technique!"

A flash of excitement appeared in Lin Zhen's eyes. He immediately clasped his fists toward Yang Ling:

"Senior Brother Yang, thank you!"

"Oh, oh, you're welcome. It was the least I could do."

Yang Ling snapped back to reality, forcing a stiff smile onto his face.

In that moment, his heart was churning like a stormy sea.

Blood-drop technique training!?

So this is how Natives of the Divine Realm cultivated Internal Technique Methods. It was incredibly similar to how players like them did it!

He suddenly realized that in all his time in the Divine Realm, he had never actually witnessed a Native cultivating an Internal Technique Method or Martial Arts Technique right in front of him.

He had subconsciously assumed that only players could comprehend these Internal Techniques and Martial Arts Techniques so conveniently.

Today's events had shattered some of his preconceived notions about the Divine Realm.

"I can't let myself be blinded by a single leaf anymore. Many things might not be as simple as I previously thought..."

Just then, a sudden outcry rang out from outside.

Immediately after, a servant rushed in hurriedly:

"Master, Military Officer Mo has arrived with Instructor Wang from the Star Observation Academy!"

They're here already?

Lin Baoshan instinctively glanced at Lin Zhen and Yang Ling.

The two of them had only just returned to the Lin family, and these people showed up right on their heels?

He immediately realized that the other side had been keeping tabs on the Lin family's movements!

At that moment, a group of people entered the courtyard, and Lin Baoshan and the others stepped forward to greet them.

Taking the opportunity, Yang Ling tossed the Crimson Ghost Ginseng into his Green Dragon Ring.

"Military Officer Mo, you never visit without a purpose! But today our Lin family has an honored guest, so I'm afraid we won't have time to receive you."

Lin Baoshan halted mid-step, speaking with a smile that didn't reach his eyes while still several zhang away from the other party.

Although the Lin family wasn't a major clan, now that he knew the other side was conspiring with the Star Observation Academy to plunder the Lin family's Crimson Ghost Ginseng, he had no intention of playing nice with these bastards anymore.

He had to show his stance. Only by doing so could he dissolve the endless stream of trouble that would follow!

Military Officer Mo was somewhat surprised. Lin Baoshan had never treated him like this before.

His expression turned cold, and then he said calmly:

"Lin Baoshan, let me introduce you. This is Instructor Wang of the Star Observation Academy, a Lower Fifth-Rank Lesser Master."

Lin Baoshan and his wife's gazes landed on Instructor Wang, a flicker of wariness passing through their eyes.

Fortunately, the Lin family also had Lin Zhen, the Chief Disciple of Flying Dragon Mountain at Devour Heaven Palace.

And today, the Devour Heaven Palace Master's personal disciple was also present.

Even if the other party was a Lower Fifth-Rank Lesser Master, the Lin family wouldn't be too passive on their end.

Most importantly, the Crimson Ghost Ginseng had already been exchanged with that Personal Disciple Yang.

The Star Observation Academy's scheme had already fallen through.

With that thought, a faint hint of a smile suddenly appeared in Lin Baoshan's eyes.

This made Military Officer Mo and Instructor Wang feel somewhat suspicious.

Standing behind the group, Yang Ling glanced at the Status Panels of these two individuals.

As for the group of people they had brought with them, a few were probably Military Officer Mo's subordinates, and a few might be Instructor Wang's juniors. Their cultivation levels weren't high, so there was no need to check their Status Panels.

Military Officer Mo's Status Panel showed him as a Lower Sixth-Rank Martial Artist.

"Qi Heavenly Provincial Capital, Lower Sixth-Rank Martial Artist. With strength like that, it's fairly reasonable. After all, he's the Garrison Troops Leader of the provincial capital."

As for that Instructor Wang, Yang Ling examined him more carefully.

Character: Wang Yaozu

Class: Martial Artist

Strength: 158

Agility: 162

Spirit: 50

Martial Arts: Vast Spirit Heart Sutra (Skilled)

Vast Spirit Sword Technique (Second-Rate, Transcendent)

Vast Spirit Body Technique (Second-Rate, Transcendent)

Faction: Star Observation Academy

"So he's actually a watered-down Lower Fifth-Rank."

"Even if I can't enjoy equipment attribute bonuses or equipment skills in this Exclusive Dungeon, I could still beat this guy to a pulp."

"How should I go about scoring this Lin Zhen side quest higher?"

Yang Ling's mind started racing instantly.

Higher ratings meant higher rewards.

Now that the Crimson Ghost Ginseng was in hand, all he had left was to squeeze every last drop of reward out of this quest.

After all, he could only come here once a month.

Time was precious. Opportunities were precious!

"Oh, so it's Instructor Wang."

Lin Baoshan's gaze was indifferent, his tone cold:

"I wonder what business brings Instructor Wang to our doorstep today?"

Military Officer Mo and Wang Yaozu immediately became uneasy.

Now they were finally certain that Lin Baoshan's attitude was seriously problematic.

Wang Yaozu's expression darkened as he said flatly:

"Your third son, Lin Hua, severely injured my disciple. He's still unconscious.

I don't want to make this matter known to everyone just yet, so I haven't reported it to the Academy.

I hope we can come to a satisfactory resolution today."

"My youngest son, Lin Hua, is merely Ninth-Rank. How could he severely injure the disciple of a Lesser Master like yourself to the point of unconsciousness?"

Lin Baoshan shook his head with a smile:

"That doesn't seem possible. We don't accept that claim."

Wang Yaozu was taken aback. Why had the other party's attitude turned so hostile!?

Previously, the other side had even voluntarily offered to pay compensation in silver, and a considerable sum at that. He was the one who had rejected it.

Military Officer Mo's expression shifted slightly, and he immediately smiled:

"Lin Baoshan, what's done is done. Denying it won't change anything. Your Lin family may have power and influence, but that disciple is also a student of the Star Observation Academy.

As long as we sit down and talk, we can still make a big deal out of something small, or let it blow over entirely.

You wouldn't want to take this matter to court, would you? Then what about your third son's life? Do you still want it or not?"

Lin Hua's fists clenched tightly as he stared fiercely at these two bastards in front of him.

In his eyes, these two were ravenous wolves that had caught the scent of blood. They were planning to bury him completely!

Just then, another group of people hurried over.

Seven or eight middle-aged men and women were seen escorting a white-haired old man as they strode quickly toward them.

As soon as the old man spotted Military Officer Mo, a smile broke out on his face as he laughed:

"Officer Mo, you've come here today for the matter of Lin Hua, haven't you? Please rest assured, Officer Mo. Our Lin family will fully cooperate in compensating the victim!"

Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, then nudged Lin Zhen with his elbow:

"Who's this old man?"
