Chapter 2171 - 2168: You’re an Even Bigger Bragger Than Me

Chapter 2171: Chapter 2168: You’re an Even Bigger Bragger Than Me

Lin Tian put down the teacup, feeling slightly awkward: "Uh, Senior Ling was studying the Refining Technique and had a little accident."

"Refining Technique? Isn’t that for alchemy..." Ling Zishan was slightly surprised and then looked at Lin Tian.

But Old Man Ling answered first: "Ahem, I was doing it for cooking, not alchemy. You don’t know, Lin Tian applies the Refining Technique to culinary arts..."

The old man enthusiastically recounted the events. Ling Zishan listened with mixed feelings. Only her father would learn the Refining Technique to improve cooking skills.

"Lin Tian, don’t be offended. My father is a bit free-spirited, sorry for making you laugh." Ling Zishan said somewhat apologetically.

Hearing this, Old Man Ling disagreed and retorted: "What’s so funny about that? Food is the most important thing for people. What’s wrong with doing it for eating? It’s perfectly justified."

Lin Tian also laughed: "Senior Ling’s research spirit is admirable for us juniors to learn from. Besides, we are just exchanging insights, and Senior also taught me the Sword Control Technique."

"He taught you the Sword Control Technique?" Ling Zishan was surprised again, then asked, "I see, so how’s your research going?"

"Uh, I still have some trouble controlling the heat. Earlier, I lost focus, and the whole pot exploded..." Old Man Ling admitted frankly, regardless of his current embarrassed state.

"Senior Ling, your inner strength is abundant and of higher quality than most Ancient Martial Artists. When you use True Qi to enhance the fire, the concentration level is higher. If you’re not careful, the energy can get out of control, as it did just now." Lin Tian explained with a smile.

Ling Xuesong suddenly understood: "I see, I’ll research more about it next time. By the way, the sun is out now, try using your flame energy to practice the Sword Control Technique."

The old man looked at the rising sun, reminding Lin Tian to cultivate.

"Alright, I’ll give it a try..." Lin Tian agreed, but this time, he didn’t immediately sit cross-legged. Instead, he followed the second Chapter of the beast skin cultivation technique and practiced one Zhou Tian.

Ling Zishan and the other two watched Lin Tian’s strange and mysterious movements in amazement.

"The Ancient Body Technique that Lin Tian is practicing is really peculiar, unheard and unseen in the Ancient Martial World." It was the first time Ling Zishan saw Lin Tian practicing, and she couldn’t help but comment.

"It seems to contain the mysteries of heaven and earth..." Zhuge Cai Zhe was not an Ancient Martial Artist but seemed to perceive something.

Lin Tian ignored their reactions and focused entirely on cultivating. Only after completing the final movement did he sit down with legs crossed.

The essence of the sun fell like snowflakes upon Lin Tian, and then melted away like snow, merging into his body.

Lin Tian activated his super vision, and in his view, the essence of the sun was like burning photons, filled with intense and vigorous energy.

As the sun rose, the essence of the sun became more intense. Wherever Lin Tian’s perspective reached, he saw countless photons falling continuously, wrapping around him.

"Hey, Master, look at the newly opened meridian on your right arm..." The Sword Spirit suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Tian’s heart stirred, and he shifted his focus, using his vision to view his arm. His gaze penetrated the skin, muscles, fascia, and bones to see the meridian within the bone marrow.

Yesterday, it was interrupted by Situ Ruoling and didn’t have a chance to look closely. Upon seeing it now, he noticed differences in the newly formed meridian. It didn’t circulate the body’s energy and blood, and because it was new, it was much smaller.

However, the new meridian was greedily absorbing the essence of the sun, seemingly expanding secretly. At the same time, a faint glow of moon essence was released from the body’s cellular particles, merging into the newly formed meridian.

The essence of the sun and the moon were entwining and merging in the new meridian, gradually extending a new type of energy that flowed through the new meridian, nourishing the bones and muscles wherever it passed.

Lin Tian could feel his arm, nourished by the new energy, was slowly strengthening! This feeling of strengthening was something he hadn’t experienced before when absorbing moon essence or sun essence separately.

"Master, this new energy has a higher quality and is more suitable for absorbing the power of fire. You’ve hit the jackpot; the third Chapter of the cultivation technique is meant to be used this way." The Sword Spirit shouted excitedly.

"Dammit, if I had known, I would have opened the meridian in the other arm too. Now, with only the right arm being strengthened, I’m going to end up with a Qilin Arm." Lin Tian said frustratingly.

"What’s a Qilin Arm? It sounds really powerful." The Sword Spirit was like a curious child.

Lin Tian’s face was covered with black lines, but he replied earnestly, "Wait until you have a human body and stay single for decades, then you’ll know what a Qilin Arm is."

"A human body?" The Sword Spirit was surprised for a moment, as if it had never considered this question, and then fell into deep thought.

Lin Tian didn’t bother with it and continued his cultivation. He extended his right hand, preparing to release the purple flame, a move he was already familiar with.

Next, a purple flame was supposed to appear in his palm, but suddenly, a massive flame erupted, swirling over a meter high.

This startled the three bigshots in the courtyard. The purple flame carried an aura of destruction, with intense oppressive force, prompting even Ling Xuesong to take a defensive stance.

However, while defending, he shielded Zhuge Cai Zhe behind him, as Old Man Zhuge, although mentally peeking into the Innate Perfection Realm, was physically still an ordinary person, albeit healthier than most.

Ling Zishan was in the same situation but did not step back.

Lin Tian was also greatly surprised. This time, the purple flame was somewhat different from before, clearly influenced by the new meridian.

Slowly retracting it, the large cluster of purple flames transformed back into a small tuft, burning quietly in his palm. Lin Tian carefully sensed the surrounding energy, a fiery aura projected into his mind.

Lin Tian realized that it was the energy of the sun essence, and being of the same fire attribute, this energy filled every corner around him, even above the Nine Heavens.

In the far sky above, Lin Tian seemed to sense a mass of fire, with intense and vigorous energy, boundless and seemingly capable of creating anything, yet also capable of destroying everything.

This was the sun, and Lin Tian gained a new understanding of this massive "Fireball."

Lin Tian suddenly thought, when Nu Ba released "Endless Scarlet Ground," did she harness the power of this "Fireball"? It was a bold and outrageous supposition because he didn’t know if the Zombie Ancestor was that powerful.

"I felt it..." Lin Tian said calmly.

Ling Xuesong was delighted and asked, "What did you feel?"

"It!" Lin Tian raised his hand, pointing toward the sun on the horizon.

With these words, the three bigshots were all left speechless, and Ling Xuesong remarked disdainfully, "Brother, you can boast even better than I can. I asked you to sense the surrounding fire attribute energy, and you claimed to sense the sun! Young people can boast, but don’t overdo it, or even the bulls will run away."

Lin Tian blinked innocently, saying, "Uh, maybe it was just my imagination."
