After killing the Black Iron Demonic Leopard, the Lin family quietly began mining the ore vein. Every worker involved in the mining was strictly selected.
The Lin family gave generous rewards to the selected people and allowed them to bring their families to live with them in Tiemu Village. This way, they could both reward them and prevent them from leaking secrets.
Lin Changqiang obviously couldn't help with this matter, but he didn't return to Qingyang Town. Instead, he stayed, saying that he was about to break through to the Tianyuan Realm and wanted to practice in a place rich in Yang Gang Qi.
For two months, Lin Changqiang either sparred with Lin Dong or fought monsters to hone his fighting skills. When he was tired of fighting, he ran to the Yang Yuan Stone vein and asked for a few Yang Yuan Stones to absorb.
Therefore, now, two months later, he finally broke through to the Tianyuan realm and obtained the coveted "heating"!
"Dong, congratulations to the host for breaking through to the Tianyuan realm, and you will be rewarded with 3 chances to draw a lottery, and a reward costume - Prince of Daylight (you can look handsome when you wear it, and any experience gained will be increased by 10%; you can continuously condense the ninth-grade Yang Gang Qi)."
"This system has really taken great pains to allow me to condense the highest quality Yuan Dan." Lin Changqiang smacked his lips and was almost moved, "Check personal information."
"Host: Lin Changqiang
Gender: Male
Cultivation level: Early stage of Tianyuan realm (1%)
Martial arts: Pure Yuan Finger (fourth grade), Qimen Seal (fifth grade), Fire Dance Tornado (sixth grade)...
Cultivation technique: Qingyuan Gong
Mental power level: none
Secret technique: none
Mental power technique: none
Treasure: Dragon Gallbladder Bright Silver Spear (advanced spiritual treasure), Ghost Captain (costume)...
Number of draws: 11"
"Eleven times? Use them all!"
Finally, Lin Changqiang had waited for this day.
"Dong, eleven lottery opportunities have been used successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining:
Double Experience Cards × 3,
Double Gold Cards × 2,
Intimate Roses × 3,
Panda Rongrong's Mask (after wearing it, you can change your face at will, but you can only change it to someone you have met before, and you can only change it three times a day),
Name Change Card (abandon the past, change your appearance, and start a new life. After use, everyone's favorability with the host will become fifty, and they will lose any memory related to the host),
Mid-Autumn Mooncake (after use, all people who are related to the host by blood will have their favorability increased by five points)."
"Except for the most basic experience cards, gold cards and intimate roses, among the other three props, it seems that only Panda Rongrong's Mask is more effective?"
Lin Changqiang frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable. This name change card seemed to have a miraculous effect, but he could never use it at all. The Mid-Autumn Mooncake could be used, but what was the point of five points of favorability?
Fortunately, just when Lin Changqiang was feeling depressed, the system restored his health in time.
"Boom! Congratulations to the host for reaching the Tianyuan Realm. The third equipment slot has been unlocked, unlocking equipment worth nine hundred gold coins or less."
"Same old story. The first slot holds the Gem of Knowledge, the second slot holds the Boots of Swiftness, and the third slot holds..."
Just as Lin Changqiang was about to choose a piece of equipment from among the most expensive items, such as the Snow Mountain Round Shield, a piece of equipment worth just over seven hundred gold coins made his eyes widen.
"Evolution Crystal,
wearable attributes: Increase the current maximum energy and mental power by ten percent.
Unique passive—Heroic Reward: For each minor realm the host breaks through, all of their energy, mental power, and injuries are instantly restored. For each major realm the host breaks through, the corresponding maximum energy or mental power is permanently increased by ten percent."
"This is outrageous!"

Lin Changqiang's breathing was a little rapid.
While the first effect of the Heroic Reward was good, it was merely icing on the cake for him, who possessed the protection of Holy Light.
But the second effect was truly formidable. While a ten percent improvement might not seem very high, it could be applied many times. The cumulative effect was truly terrifying!
If his and Lin Dong's maximum Yuanli values when they first entered the Tianyuan Realm were both counted as one, and multiplied by two each time they reached a new realm,
then after passing the Yuandan Realm, the Three Realms of Creation, the Nirvana Realm, the Shengxuan Realm, the Sixuan Realm, the Zhuanlun Realm, the Samsara Realm, and the Zu Realm, Lin Dong's final Yuanli would be 1024, while his was 2656!
"It seems the best fit for me is still the Turret Mage," Lin Changqiang thought, imagining the future, the scene of himself unleashing the Great Wilderness Prisoner Finger like a fireball, while he installed the Evolution Crystal in the third slot.
"Long Spear, Long Spear?" Lin Changqiang opened his eyes with an idiotic smile, only to find that Lin Dong was looking at him with a puzzled look on his face, "Why are you grinning like an idiot?"
"Uh, I remembered something happy." Lin Changqiang was also a little embarrassed. After all, he did not look very smart just now. He had to take the initiative, "Don't worry about this for now. Why are you suddenly interested in looking for me? Shouldn't you be fighting with the small animals in the woods at this time?"
"That's called fighting with monsters!" Lin Dong raised his eyebrows and shouted unhappily, but then he sighed as if he accepted his fate.
"Grandpa plans to go to Yancheng tomorrow to sell the Yang Yuan Stone he recently dug up in exchange for Yang Yuan Pills to bolster our Lin family's strength. I remember you've been saying you want to go to Yancheng for a while now. How about going with me?"
"Go, of course I have to! I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
Lin Changqiang's eyes narrowed slightly. If he remembered correctly, it seemed Lin Dong would encounter someone trying to force a sale on him during his trip to Yancheng. If it weren't for the famous "No Actions at XXX" in the fantasy world, he would have been seriously injured.
"Okay, then I'll go back first." Seeing Lin Changqiang's excitement, Lin Dong smiled and prepared to head home.
"Wait!" At that moment, Lin Changqiang suddenly grabbed Lin Dong's arm, looking at him meaningfully. "Don't leave tonight. Let's sit together until dawn~"
"Sit until dawn?" Lin Dong looked at Lin Changqiang with a puzzled expression, unsure of what this guy was up to.
"Hehehe, Lin Dong, let me show you my big treasure! |ω)"
With lightning speed, Lin Changqiang pulled the Prince of Daylight from his four-dimensional shirt, before Lin Dong's stunned gaze!
"Dangdangdangdang, dang-dang-dang-dang—Yang Gang Treasure Robe!" Doraemon's unique background music blared again.
"To be honest, I found this Yang Gang Treasure Robe in an abandoned house in Tiemu Village. I discovered it can continuously concentrate ninth-grade Yang Gang Qi, aiding cultivation. We had just entered the Earth Origin Realm, so I didn't rush to tell you."
Lin Changqiang rambled, shaking his head. Now that Lin Dong's favorability rating had surpassed seventy, he felt completely relieved.
"Now I'm already in the Tianyuan realm, and you've reached the late Diyuan realm. Since you're my younger brother, I'll be merciful and allow you to cultivate with me~"
"..." Lin Dong revealed a deadpan expression that was completely inconsistent with his usual style. "Don't you think this situation is a little familiar?"
"Does it?" Lin Changqiang feigned bewilderment at first, but soon, under Lin Dong's disdainful gaze, he became furious. "Damn it! Just say whether you want it or not!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Dong didn't try to resist as usual. Instead, he remained silent for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and as if he had made some important decision, he looked at Lin Changqiang sharply.
"Changqiang!"
"??? What for?" Lin Changqiang was stunned by Lin Dong's solemn expression.
"Let's become sworn brothers!"
