Zhu Tian: Becoming a Sword Master from Martial Arts

Chapter 8 The First Genius of the Lin Clan
Yancheng, Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, this place is already very familiar to Lin Dong.

As soon as he entered the Wanjin Auction House, Lin Dong was led to where Xuan Su was. After seeing Lin Dong, Xuan Su stretched, showing off her perfect curves, and then carefully closed the door.

Seeing Xuan Su's cautious actions, Lin Dong was also stunned for a moment. He came here today because he received a message from Xuan Su saying that she had found the elixir he needed, so he hurried here.

But looking at Xuan Su's condition, could there be something fishy going on?

"Sister Su, is there any news about the elixir?"

However, Lin Dong did not ask directly. Since Xuan Su was so cautious, it must be a serious matter. He naturally could not speak rashly. It would be bad if there were eavesdroppers on the other side of the wall.

"I just received a sixth-grade spiritual medicine, the Vermillion Blood Demon Fruit. I was originally planning to sell it as the finale item of the auction. I knew that you needed it, Lin Dong, so I stopped it directly. The price agreed with the seller is 60,000 Yang Yuan Stones."

As Xuan Su spoke, she opened a jade box beside her, revealing a fist-sized scarlet fruit.

When placing the Red Blood Demon Fruit in front of Lin Dong, Xuan Su also lowered her voice and asked Lin Dong.

“Brother Lin Dong, have you ever heard of the Lin clan?”

Lin Dong, who was originally staring at Xuan Su, suddenly contracted his eyes after hearing this name, and a hint of coldness was inadvertently revealed in his eyes.

Lin Dong would never forget that name. It was that person who almost killed his father with a single blow. If someone hadn’t come to his rescue, his father would have been crippled if not dead.

But even so, the extremely difficult and violent energy troubled his father for six full years.

In six years, his father had become a useless person. After fighting with others for more than three moves, his meridians would swell and ache.

His father suffered in agony for six years, but that man became famous in the Great Yan Dynasty and was hailed as the number one genius of the Lin clan!

That person’s name is—Lin Langtian!

Xuan Su had been staring at Lin Dong's eyes, so she was the first to notice the strangeness in Lin Dong's eyes, and she secretly said in her heart, "As expected."

"Brother Lin Dong, there is something I must tell you. The people of the Lin clan are now resting in the inn of my Wanjin Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, they seem to be asking about your Lin family."

"How did Sister Su know that my Lin family has a connection with the high and mighty Lin clan, one of the four great clans?"

Seeing that Xuan Su had already seen through it, Lin Dong did not hide it, but asked the other party in return. Upon hearing this, Xuan Su rolled her eyes coquettishly and said with a bit of envy.

"My sister's talent is not as good as yours, so she can only spend more time on business. As for your Lin family's origins, I have investigated them. There are rumors that your Lin family has a close relationship with the Lin clan."

"As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Besides, your Lin family suddenly moved to Qingyang Town more than ten years ago. Plus, when the Lin clan members came, they started to inquire about your Lin family's news. It's not difficult to make the connection."

At the end, Xuan Su looked at Lin Dong with some worry in her eyes. Lin Dong was silent for a while after hearing that, and then he asked softly.

"Sister Su, do you know what the Lin clan members are doing in Yancheng?" "You don't know?"

After hearing Lin Dong's words, Xuan Su raised her eyebrows in surprise. Looking at the bewildered Lin Dong, she said with a wry smile.

“Brother Lin Dong, even if you have been working hard to cultivate, you still have to pay attention to the major events happening in Yancheng, right?”

"What's the big deal?"

Lin Dong also looked at Xuan Su with a confused face. He really knew nothing. He was either cultivating his Yuan power or his mental power. Uh, he occasionally practiced martial arts. The main reason was that he didn't like those martial arts.

"Recently, someone discovered an ancient tomb on the Tianyan Mountain Range next to our Yancheng, which connects to several other major cities."

"Whose ancient tomb is it? It can't be from the Lin clan, right?"

Lin Dong also asked curiously, however, after hearing Lin Dong's joke, Xuan Su shook her head and then nodded seriously.

"It's not from the Lin clan, but it's almost the same. It is said that the ancient tomb was originally discovered by the Lin clan. It is the tomb of a Nirvana Realm expert, but someone messed up the good thing."

Nirvana!
After these three words came out of Xuan Su’s mouth, Lin Dong’s pupils suddenly shrank again.

There is a song that goes like this, the path of cultivation is to steal yin and yang, seize good fortune, turn to nirvana, grasp life and death, and control reincarnation!

Stealing Yin and Yang is the Earth Origin Realm, the Heaven Origin Realm, and the Yuandan Realm after the harmony of Yin and Yang. After that is the three realms of creation: the Form Creation Realm, the Qi Creation Realm, and the Creation Realm. Only after the Creation Realm is the Nirvana Realm!
And according to Grandpa Lin Zhentian, even the patriarch of the Lin clan, Lin Fan, is just a powerful figure in the realm of creation.

"The tomb of a Nirvana Realm expert? Such a good thing has been ruined. Wouldn't the Lin clan be extremely furious this time? Could the leader of this team be the Lin clan's number one genius, Lin Langtian?"

Lin Dong pretended to speak casually, and Xuan Su did not notice anything unusual. She just shook her head seriously after Lin Dong finished speaking.

“Brother Lin Dong is right. This time, the Lin clan is indeed furious. Therefore, the person they sent out will not be Lin Langtian. However, it is said that Lin Langtian will also come.”

This time, the Lin clan and the Wang clan were almost at loggerheads, and the two major clans were fighting each other, which led to a lot of information being released by the two major clans.

"What do you mean? Since the Lin clan is so angry, why didn't they send the Lin clan's number one genius, Lin Langtian?"

Lin Dong was also confused by Xuan Su's words. Since the Lin clan attached so much importance to him, shouldn't they directly send their number one genius?
"That's just the outside world's evaluation of Lin Langtian. According to the information I know, six years ago, the young patriarch of the Lin clan defeated the then clan champion Lin Langtian in public with a single sword strike."

Xuan Su smiled and shook her head. In fact, not only the others, but even she was confused at the beginning. The main reason was that that person was too good at hiding. He never showed up. When everyone thought he didn't exist, he suddenly brought shocking news.

"Originally, I thought it was just a rumor. Until about a month ago, the young patriarch of the Lin clan killed two dragon-blooded monsters at the Great Perfection of the Creation Realm and returned with their corpses. Only then did it prove that the rumor from six years ago was actually true!"

"And as far as I know, that monster is only twenty-four or twenty-five years old now!"
