After the extreme shock was over, Lin Jian released his spirit force and spread out in all directions.

He had to make sure that no one would bother him when he absorbed the dragon's vein.

Let alone the Building Foundation Period warriors, even the Jindan Stage, Yuanying Stage, or even the body transformation stage old monster would shatter their heads and fight over it with him!

But he did not dare to faint!

Lin Jian was determined, he bit the tip of his tongue and used the pain to stimulate his brain, forcing himself to stay awake and recover his spirit power.

After circulating it within his body for a week, the mental energy had already absorbed a bit of the dragon's Qi. After returning to his sea of consciousness, the dragon's Qi jumped up and down Lin Jian's body, but once again, wantonly caused destruction, causing pain that was thousands of times worse than the Heartcrush Palm.

"Spirit Devouring Method, swallow it!"

Lin Jian gritted his teeth and channeled his cultivation technique, the spirit energy in his body rushing towards the dragon aura fearlessly.

At the same time, a faint golden line appeared within his eight extraordinary meridians, rendering his spirit energy a pale gold. However, in reality, the color of his spirit energy had been lightened to the extreme, to the point where no one would be able to notice it unless they looked closely.

Seeing that, Lin Jian laughed, his heart feeling extremely satisfied.

Because, that was — Dragon Yuan Power!

The process of absorbing the dragon vein was extremely painful, but as long as he could refine it, no matter how much he spent, it was worth it.

"Continue!"

Lin Jian firmed his mind, released his spirit power once more, and sent it into the dragon vein.

With his current cultivation level, absorbing dragon veins was destined to take a long time. Every time his spiritual energy completed a cycle inside the dragon veins, it would only be able to take away a sliver of dragon aura. According to a conservative estimate, it would take at least two months to completely absorb the dragon fountain, or even longer.

At dawn, the sun slowly rose, dyeing the clouds red.

Lin Jian had absorbed the dragon vein from the grave for an entire night. Although it was in extreme pain, every time he received the feedback from the dragon aura, he felt that it was filled with energy.

"The elemental energy in the three meridians have almost all transformed into Dragon Yuan Power, and the tenacity of the dantian has increased, the effect of the dragon fountain is truly extraordinary, we can now absorb the Sword Fruit!"

Lin Jian exhaled, then took out the black bead like sword fruit and swallowed it, then began to refine it.

The Death Sword Fruit was, after all, one of Lin Jian's innate skills, so absorbing it was easy for him to do. Not long later, a pure sword intent appeared in his body, continuously refining his meridians and Dragon Yuan Power.

Before long, Lin Jian's realm had improved again, and was almost at the peak of body refining third level. He was only a thin line away from breaking through to body refining fourth level.

This was much worse than the three realms that Lin Jian had predicted, but he was not surprised at all.

After all, if the same bottle of water was poured into a cup, it might be able to fill up three cups. However, if it was poured into a basin, it would only barely fill up.

After absorbing the dragon vein, the strength of Lin Jian's meridians and physique had all received a qualitative leap. Under the same realm, his elemental energy quality could definitely be comparable to four or five of the third grade of Refining Body Realm. This sword fruit had only helped him increase his realm by a small amount, which was completely within Lin Jian's expectations.

It wasn't that the Sword Fruit was weak, but the amount of energy he needed to level up was too much. Originally, 100 experience points were enough for him to level up, but now he needed at least 500 or more.

"Hu!"

Lin Jian heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, he walked out from the grave.

He looked at the mess around the grave, and his heart sank. This was not something he could let others see, or else the matter of the dragon fountain would be exposed. Therefore, Lin Jian dug out a secret tunnel from the Dragon Vein. He then carefully restored the grave, and decorated it with flowers and grass to ensure that he could not find anything wrong with it.

After that, Lin Jian went back into the depths of the dragon vein through the secret passage he had dug just now. After ensuring that everything was still the same, he went back to the Violet Bamboo Pavilion and washed his face before continuing with his cultivation to stabilize his newly broken realm as well as the Dragon Yuan Power.

That night's harvest was truly beyond imagination.

At noon, Xiao Sanzi brought in some snacks and tea.

Seeing how diligent his young master was in training, Xiao Sanzi was very happy. With a smile blossoming on his face, but he was afraid that Lin Jian would be too tired. While he was eating, he told him a lot of things that happened in the Lin Clan.

For example, the Elder Hall's Elder Zhu had once again married a concubine, Big Sis Zhao from the kitchen, and wrote a love letter to the Patriarch. In the end, the Young Master Lin Yan, who was kicked out of the Lin Clan and Second Branch, beat him up while he was cultivating outside. He hoped that these gossips could help Lin Jian relax a little.

"Alright, you should go back and rest. Don't come over and disturb me. Recently, I've been on the verge of breaking through. This is a critical moment." After Lin Jian finished eating, he wiped his mouth.

Xiao Sanzi kept the tableware, and was pleasantly surprised to hear this: "Young master, you are about to break through to the Second grade of Refining Body? "Great!"

"..." "Hmm, hur hur."

Lin Jian declined to comment and just smiled faintly, but he did not tell Xiao Sanzi the truth.

In reality, he broke through to body refining second level last night. Today, what he needed to prepare to break through was the body refining third level to the fourth level. But Xiao Sanzi would definitely not believe his words, there was no need for him to say them.

Xiao Sanzi was overjoyed. When he heard this news, he was even more happy than if he had broken through, clamoring that he would still be willing to go to the temple. He even continued to cheer for Lin Jian, chattering for half a day before leaving.

The room quieted down. Lin Jian laughed, closed his eyes and continued his cultivation.

Before long, he was awakened by a loud noise and had no choice but to withdraw from his cultivation state.

Outside the window, the sun was setting.

Lin Jian frowned, even though his Spirit Qi was not being released, he could still hear the commotion outside the Violet Bamboo Pavilion.

"What do you want? This is the residence of my young master, who allowed you to barge in here so casually? "Get out, or else I'll …" This was Xiao Sanzi's voice. Although the voice was loud, it was not difficult to hear the trembling fear in his words.

"How about you?"

A haughty voice coldly sounded out, "How dare a lowly errand boy block my way? "You're really reckless, scram!"

After that, Xiao Sanzi screamed in pain.

Lin Jian frowned and stood up from the bed. He jumped down from the window and rushed to Violet Bamboo Pavilion's door.

When he rushed over, Xiao Sanzi was being stepped on by a big burly man. The man's face revealed a sinister look, and his hard boots were pressed on Xiao Sanzi's chest, with great force, causing Xiao Sanzi's chest to cave in. Every time he moved, Xiao Sanzi would cry out in pain.

Not far away, a well-dressed youth was looking at him with a cruel and ridiculing expression. The arrogant voice from before had come from his mouth.

"Yo, Big Cousin came out?"

The youth sneered and gave the man a meaningful glance, "Hurry up and release your cousin's dog!"

"Yes, Young Master Yan."

The man laughed cruelly, kicked Xiao Sanzi flying and smashed towards Lin Jian who had rushed over upon hearing the news.

Xiao Sanzi spat out a mouthful of blood, and his small and skinny body flew out like a broken kite. Before he even landed on the ground, he was caught by Lin Jian quickly.

"..." You deserve to die! "

Lin Jian's face was solemn, his eyes bursting with killing intent, staring straight at the well-dressed youth.

The young man was called Lin Yan, and was the young master of the second branch. He was the son of the head, Lin Zhenfeng, and was also the most talented in cultivation in the entire Lin Family.

As for the muscular man beside Lin Yan, his name was Lin Qinghu, and he was born into the second house's side branch. This year, he was the same age as Lin Jian, but his cultivation was actually higher than him by a large margin, and he was already at the fifth grade Refining Body realm, ranked amongst the elite.

These two came menacingly, obviously harboring malicious intentions.

"Ha ha!"

Lin Yan had an indifferent face as he laughed coldly, "I never thought that a trash who only knows how to play the flute and sing would also have a time where he would get angry. It's really rare. Before I went back to my residence, I heard that you were hit by Bai Luohan.

Lin Jian did not reply. His eyes were ice-cold as he tried to look for flaws between the two of them.

Just based on the fact that they were indiscriminate and heavily injured by Xiao Sanzi, Lin Jian had a reason to kill them! Although the cultivation levels of the two were higher than his, with the Dragon Yuan Power, Lin Jian's true strength could not be judged by common sense. If they were to fight, who knew who would win!

However, Lin Yan and Lin Qinghu did not even put him in their eyes, because the latter, under Lin Yan's orders, snorted coldly and went forward to say the reason for their visit.

"Young Master, the reason we came here this time, is to invite you to give our Young Master Yan a way out, to let the Violet Bamboo Pavilion go, and then get lost!" The current you, is not fit to live in this Violet Bamboo Pavilion! The Patriarch has also ordered that the Violet Bamboo Pavilion will be handed over to Young Master Yan.

Lin Qinghu's face was full of threat as he said coldly.
