WDQK: Invincible with top-tier talent from the start

Chapter 45: Lin Zhentian's Regret, The Bloodclad Sect at the Door!

"Heh, you guessed right. It's nothing serious—I just have a spiritual fruit I need you to purify for me," Lin Fan said with a light chuckle.

"Then let's head back to my room," Lin Dong replied.

Qingtan chimed in, "I won't go with you guys. I haven't seen Huo'er and Xiao Yan in a while—I'll take them for a ride!"

"Alright, have fun." Lin Fan nodded.

Qingtan happily called Huo'er and Xiao Yan and set off.

Meanwhile, Lin Fan and Lin Dong returned to Lin Dong's room.

Once inside, Lin Fan summoned a round crimson fruit from his system space—his latest prize from patting Xiao Yan: a Grade-Six Spiritual Herb, the Demonblood Vermilion Fruit!

As the rich fragrance filled the air, Lin Dong inhaled deeply and looked surprised. "What is this herb? The energy it emits is insane!"

"This is the Demonblood Vermilion Fruit, a sixth-grade spiritual herb. Naturally, it's far stronger than anything we've used before."

While speaking, Lin Fan handed it over.

"A sixth-grade herb?!" Lin Dong was startled. He carefully received the fruit in his right palm.

Immediately, the Stone Talisman within his body trembled slightly, releasing strange threads of light that wrapped around the Vermilion Fruit.

Buzz...

The fruit floated into the air, humming as it was purified.

This purification process took much longer than usual—nearly three hours passed before the fruit finally turned to powder.

In Lin Dong's hand, three dark-colored spirit pills appeared.

"As expected of a sixth-grade herb…"

Sensing the dense energy within the pills, Lin Dong couldn't help but exclaim.

He handed the pills to Lin Fan, who took two and said, "Keep one for yourself."

"Thanks, Lin Fan-ge," Lin Dong replied sincerely. He didn't decline. Over the past few months, they had shared many such rewards equally.

Their bond as brothers was growing stronger every day.

"Alright, I'm heading back to cultivate. As for you, I suggest saving that pill for after the Dan Immortal Pool—no need to rush."

Lin Dong was already late Heaven Origin. Taking the pill now might force him into closed-door training to break through to Small Yuan Dan Realm, which wasn't ideal timing.

In the original story, Lin Dong obtained this very fruit after reaching that stage. He had used three of the pills to reach the peak of the Yuan Dan Realm.

"Got it." Lin Dong nodded without hesitation.

Lin Fan turned and returned to his room.

There, he debated whether to use the Demonblood pill now, but ultimately decided instead to consume the Focus Pill he had just obtained from patting Qingtan.

It had been over two months since his breakthrough to Two-Seal Rune Master, and his spiritual power had been steadily rising.

This pill might be the final push he needed to reach Three-Seal Rune Master.

As for Yuan Power—he had only recently entered the Small Yuan Dan Realm. Even with a high-grade pill, breaking through again so soon wasn't realistic. There was no rush.

The moment the Focus Pill entered his body, it dissolved into pure mental energy that surged into his Niwan Palace.

There, the two spirit seals began to spin, quickly forming two vortexes.

As the dense spiritual power from the Focus Pill filled the chamber, the twin vortexes spun tirelessly, absorbing and refining everything.

Lin Fan activated the Shen Dong Chapter, pushing the vortexes to spin even faster and absorb even more.

Lost in his cultivation, Lin Fan lost all track of time…

Meanwhile, the next day arrived.

Lin Zhentian had already been informed by Lin Xiao that the Bloodclad Sect from Yan City was on their way to attack the Lin family. His expression turned grim, and he immediately mobilized the family's entire strength.

Upon learning that Xie Yingying was the one who had gone to Yan City and seduced the Bloodclad Sect's young master, thereby bringing this crisis down on them, Lin Zhentian deeply regretted his earlier decision.

Standing before Lin Ken, Lin Mang, Lin Xiao, Lin Dong, and Qingtan, Lin Zhentian said darkly:

"It's all my fault. If I had listened to Fan'er and wiped out the Xie family back then, we wouldn't be facing this disaster now!"

Lin Xiao comforted him. "What's done is done. Regret won't change anything. And with the strength our Lin family now possesses, we don't need to fear the Bloodclad Sect."

"Yeah, Grandpa, don't worry too much," Lin Dong added.

"If they think they can swallow our Yang Essence Stone Vein, they'd better be sure they can chew it!"

Lin Ken looked around and suddenly asked, "Where's Lin Fan?"

Everyone paused.

Lin Dong explained, "When I passed by Lin Fan-ge's room earlier, I sensed that he was cultivating his spiritual power. He's at a critical moment—trying to break through to Three-Seal Rune Master."

"What? Three-Seal Rune Master?!"

The entire hall was stunned.

They all clearly remembered—Lin Fan had only reached Two-Seal two months ago. And now he was already on the verge of another breakthrough?

—

Boom boom boom—!

Just then, the sound of hooves thundered across the land.

The Lin family members tensed.

Soon, a troop of blood-red-clad warriors, exuding murderous aura, approached Tiemu Manor's front gate like a storm.

"Bloodclad Sect has arrived! Lin family—prepare to die!"

A voice thundered out, wrapped in powerful Yuan Power, echoing across all of Qingyang Town.

Atop the manor walls, Lin Zhentian and the others looked down at the bloodthirsty army with solemn expressions.

At the front of the enemy force stood a cold-eyed man in red robes, his scarlet eyebrows adding to his sinister air—Wei Tong, sect master of the Bloodclad Sect.

He was a peak Yuan Dan Realm expert, a well-known name even in Yan City.

To his right stood a hawk-nosed old man, the sect's elder and a Small Yuan Dan Realm cultivator.

To his left, a smiling man in gray-yellow robes—Gu Ying, the Bloodclad Sect's deputy master and a Two-Seal Rune Master.

Behind them, riding proudly, was Xie Yingying, her face twisted in hatred as she stared at the Lin family.

All of Qingyang Town heard the declaration, and the various local powers were shocked.

"Two months ago, the Lin family destroyed the Lei clan and crippled the Xie clan. They became the top force in town."

"But now… they've provoked something far worse."

"Why would the Lin family dare offend a sect like the Bloodclad Sect…?"
