Chapter 67: Dark Clouds

  The first smooth sale of Yangyuan Stone was also a taste of the sweetness for the Lin family, with a substantial profit that made people envious. After all, even if they sold their large batch of ironwood and converted it to Yangyuan Stones, it would only be worth around twenty or so stones. However, the gains from these few months were equivalent to just one day's profit from mining the vein.

  These two things can't be compared at all.

  And it was precisely because of this that since the successful sale of the first batch of Yangyuan stones, Lin Zhentian had almost all of the Lin family's seven or eight people transferred to Tiemu Village, as if he wanted to operate Tiemu Village as his base.

  The strange behavior of the Lin family naturally also attracted a lot of strange glances. Although Tie Mu Village is rich in ironwood, after these days, most people have learned about the tricks played by the Lei family during the handover, so the village has lost value in some people's eyes. However, the Lin family not only did not neglect Tie Mu Village because of this but instead treated it with such solemnity, which really has a somewhat inverted taste to it.

  However, in the face of these repeated speculations from outside, the Lin family remained silent and did not make any explanations or announcements to the public. Due to the extremely strict confidentiality measures, outsiders were also unable to know what the Lin family was thinking...

  Of course, there are also some exceptions in this...

  …

  Qingyang Town, Lei Family

  In a grand hall deep within the Lei family's estate, over a dozen core members of the Lei family sat, with the first one being the master of the Lei family, Lei Bao. However, at this moment, his face was gloomy, like the prelude to a violent storm, making those below him cautious and not daring to provoke him.

  "Father, the information I've obtained is absolutely accurate. The Lin family's trip to Yan City this time, on the surface, is to sell ironwood, but in reality, their true purpose is to sell hundreds of blocks of Yangyuan stone. Although the Lin family has developed somewhat over the years, such a large transaction would be difficult even for my own Lei family to accomplish easily. What makes them think they can do it?" Lei Bao said with a gloomy expression on his face.

  "What do you want to say?" Lei Bao's eyes twitched slightly at the mention of several hundred yuan, and he immediately spoke up.

  "This period of time, the Lin family's actions, I'm sure everyone can see clearly, the current value of Tie Mu Village, we also understand in our hearts. If it was just for those nearly half-destroyed Tie Mu resources, then Lin Zhen Tian might really be an old fool..." Lei Bi's gaze swept around the hall, saying in a low voice.

  Listening to his words, the others also nodded slightly. Lin Zhen Tian had developed from a lonely and isolated person in those years to what he was today, and it wasn't an exaggeration to call him an old fox. They didn't believe that this old fox would do something as meaningless and foolish.

  So if it's not a meaningless thing, then it must have its purpose. Also, thinking about the batch of Yangyuan stones that Lin's family suddenly sold, many people's faces changed slightly.

  "If I'm not mistaken, the Lin family should have discovered another resource in Tie Mu Village besides Tie Mu, and this resource is likely to be a Yang Yuan stone vein."

  Lei Pi's words were undoubtedly shocking, causing the entire hall to fall silent instantly. It wasn't until after a long while that someone finally cried out in disbelief: "How is this possible? Our Ironwood Manor has been operating for so many years, but we've never heard of any Yangyuan Stone mineral vein!"

  "We haven't really explored it well."

  Lei Pi's face also twitched, his eyes fixed on the first Lei Bao, took a deep breath and said: "Father, it seems that we have given a treasure of inestimable value to the Lin family."

  Bang!

  The teacup in Leopold's hand exploded into a cloud of dust, the tea dripping down through his fingers. The old face looked more twisted and grotesque than ever at this moment.

  Yangyuan stone vein, a few light words, but it's enough to make Leibao's heartstrings tighten at this moment. As for the value of this vein, he is clearer than anyone else in his mind. If Tiemu Village really has a Yangyuan stone vein, even if its area is not large, its value will far exceed that of the entire Tiemu Village!

  However, at this moment, this extremely valuable mine was actually handed over to the Lin family by them. Previously, they were still gloating over the fact that the Lin family had obtained a manor that had been destroyed by half, but now it seems that such gloating is truly ridiculous and laughable.

  Looking at Leopards ferocious face, everyone became sensible and fell silent, not daring to speak.

  "During this time, send out all the scouts and informants to gather information about the Ironwood Manor with all their might. I want to confirm whether they really possess the Yangyuan Stone Vein!"

  He took a deep breath, and the ferocity on Lei Bao's face slowly subsided, but his voice was like the cold wind in January, chilling to the bone.

  "Also, pay attention to every move of the Lin family, if they make another move towards Flame City, notify me immediately!"

  "Yes!"

  Upon hearing this, Lei Pi and other core members of the Lei family hastily responded with a bow, exchanged a glance, and then retreated slowly from the conference hall.

  With the departure of the crowd, the hall fell silent again. Leibao sat in a chair with a cold face, and after a while, a low and vicious whispering sound began to emerge.

  "Lin Zhentian, since your Lin family is determined to seek death, then don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless!"

  …

  Since returning smoothly from Yan City, the focus of the Lin family has shifted to the Yangyuan Stone Mine in Tieshan Village. As for this mining matter, Lindong couldn't help much, so most of the time was spent practicing alone.

  His current cultivation is mainly divided into three types: Yuan Force, Martial Arts and Spiritual Force which was just briefly mentioned.

  At present, Lin Dong's strength has stopped at the late stage of the Earth Realm. This step seems to be just a little bit of progress away from entering the Heaven Realm, but reality and imagination are always vastly different. Since Lin Dong returned from Yan City, in the past month, although he had been cultivating diligently, with a sufficient amount of Yang Yuan Dan to aid him, that breakthrough feeling was still nowhere in sight. That small step seemed like an insurmountable chasm, blocking his way forward.

  For this progress, Lin Dong was helpless, but he didn't feel anxious either. The Tianyuan realm wasn't that easy to enter anyway, and many people stayed at this step for several years, which was a completely possible thing. He wanted to achieve results in just one short month, which was a bit too fanciful.

  As for the martial arts he mastered, Lin Dong was even more refined and pure. As for the remaining fragments of the Mystic Door Seal, he could now relatively easily display the second layer, and even the third layer, which he had begun to gradually explore. With his current Late Yuan Realm strength, it was barely enough to meet the requirements of the third layer of the Mystic Door Seal.

  The cultivation of Yuanli and martial arts are progressing in a regular and steady manner, the only difference being the cultivation of spiritual power. In just one month's time, Lin Dong can clearly feel the invisible spiritual power surging more violently in his mind, and the so-called "Shen Dong Pian" first layer has also been completed by him smoothly. Moreover, this speed is quite natural and effortless, without any external support.

  As for the abnormality of his spiritual power, even Lin Dong couldn't help but believe that he indeed had some extraordinary talents in this regard.

  Under Lin Dong's quiet cultivation, time also passed quietly, and before he knew it, another two months had passed.

  And when the third month arrived, a larger fleet of vehicles than last time gathered again inside Timur's estate...

  When news came out from Tie Mu Village, it was also brought by a hummingbird and landed on Lei Bao's shoulder in the Lei family.

  From under the hummingbird's feet, a small piece of white paper was picked up. Lei Bao's eyes scanned it, and the corners of his mouth also slowly curled up with a hint of cruelty.

  Thank you everyone.
