Chapter 17 [Summary of the battle, the ghosts are coming! ]

When Lin Xun returned home, his elder brother Lin Chuan and sister-in-law were already waiting for him at the door. He had not returned home the whole day yesterday, which really made them worried.

If he hadn't known his brother's abilities, he would have left the village to look for him long ago.

Now that they heard the news about Lin Xun, they were naturally impatient. When they saw him returning to the village carrying a giant tiger on his back, they were also shocked.

But the two were soon attracted by the blood on Lin Xun's body, and they immediately ran up to him and asked, "Brother Xun, are you okay?"

You can imagine how terrifying such a big tiger is. Lin Xun is just one person, so even if he kills it, it must be painful.

When Lin Xun heard this, he felt a warm feeling in his heart. In this world, only his brother and sister-in-law cared about him so much.

Fortunately, he was well prepared. After he broke through the stage of refining essence into qi, he underwent marrow cleansing and blood transfusion, which healed the wounds on his body.

The body that was originally covered with scars no longer looked injured.

He hurriedly explained that all the blood on his body was from the tiger, not his own.

After much persuasion, Lin Chuan and his sister-in-law finally believed it. After all, there were no scars on their brother's body, so this explanation made sense.

The two would never have dreamed that all of Lin Xun's injuries would be healed overnight.

The three of them exchanged greetings for a moment, and then Lin Xun turned his gaze to the crowd. He saw a huge crowd of people, all of whom were there to watch the fun.

But now that he had hunted such a big tiger, he naturally could not remain silent.

It is easy to be hated if you eat alone in the village. Although Lin Xun is not afraid, his elder brother and sister-in-law still have to live in the village, so they will inevitably have to deal with everyone.

It is also very necessary to make friends with the villagers.

Besides, the people in the village are all neighbors and have watched Lin Xun grow up since he was a child.

As the saying goes; A distant village is not as good as a nearby neighbor!

Later, when Lin Xun left home, with the favors he had received from the people he had stayed with, the villagers would help take care of his elder brother and sister-in-law.

Thinking of this, Lin Xun smiled and said, "My dear uncles, don't leave today. I was lucky enough to hunt this big beast. Everyone should take two pounds of meat back."

As he said this, he enthusiastically allowed everyone in his village to get a piece of meat.

This tiger is as big as an elephant, weighing more than ten tons. Even if some of its meat is taken away, it will be enough for the Lin family to eat.

"Brother Xun is a man of honor. I've seen that you've been extraordinary since you were a child."

"Thank you, Brother Xun. I've never tasted tiger meat this big before!"

"Thank you, Brother Xun. Are you still in need of a wife? My sister is getting married this year. If you agree, I will send her to you as your wife."

"Bah, come on! Wang Laosan, everyone knows that your sister is as strong as a pig, please don't crush Brother Xun's small body."

"Ha ha ha ha!!!"

………………

For a moment, everyone in the Lin family courtyard burst into laughter, but no matter what, Lin Xun's generosity in giving away the meat still won the favor of many villagers.

You must know that in ancient times, it was very difficult to have enough food, let alone eat meat, let alone such precious tiger meat.

After this interruption, no one mentioned introducing a wife to him anymore. The villagers' enthusiasm was beyond Lin Xun's expectations, but for now, there was no need to introduce a wife to him!

After all, Lin Xun is practicing Taoism, so it is impossible for him to stay in the small Heshi Village forever. He will definitely have to go out and explore the world in the future.

If he really married, he would have to cultivate the immortality with his family, so Lin Xun naturally didn't want to get married so soon. Seeing that Lin Xun wanted to share the meat with everyone, his sister-in-law Wei Fang was unwilling at first, but since her brother had said so, and he had killed the tiger, she naturally had to follow his words.

As the tiger had thick skin and flesh, most people could not chop it down, so Lin Xun had to come and cut the meat with an axe.

Half a day later, the meat was finally cut. Every household in Heshi Village got a piece of meat. Although it was not much, only one or two pounds, it was a rare warmth in this cold winter.

After finishing all this, Lin Xun finally had time to rest. Although he had already perfected the refining of essence into qi, his body could still withstand ten days and ten nights without sleep.

But after the battle with the tiger demon and the giant python, Lin Xun still felt deeply exhausted. This was a mental exhaustion, not a physical one.

But he did not rest immediately, but instead summed up his combat experience.

Although he won the battle with the tiger monsters this time, Lin Xun didn't think that he could ignore them just because he won.

In fact, winning this battle was largely due to luck. If we had not found the python's weakness at the critical moment, it would have been difficult to win.

He also made many mistakes and was injured several times when he shouldn't have been, but the opponent still found opportunities for him.

Especially that time when the giant tiger's sharp claws dug into my back and I almost lost my life.

This battle left a deep impression on Lin Xun that no matter when or where, he must never leave his back to the enemy.

At the same time, a lion fighting a rabbit has to give it its all, and so should he.

Lin Xun knew that he had never been a combat genius. Although he had the Daoyan Treasure Mirror with him, if he wanted to go further, he had to do more theoretical thinking, summarizing, and accumulating more.

In the days that followed, Lin Xun did not go up the mountain to hunt again, not because he knew that there was a big monster like Hushanjun in the depths of Dahei Mountain.

But now Lin Xun is not so urgent about cultivation resources.

First, the Fruit of Fortune allowed him to break through to perfection in refining essence into qi. Now, he is only a step away from refining qi into spirit.

In addition, there are several tons of tiger meat stored at home, which will be enough for a short period of time.

Moreover, Lin Xun has reached the stage of refining essence into qi, at which point he can no longer make any progress. What he needs to consider is refining qi into spirit and breaking through the level of "entering the Tao" as mentioned by Sun Wukong.

To refine Qi and transform it into spirit, one needs to combine spirit and Qi, attribute the magic power to the spirit, and thus condense the primordial spirit.

This state is so mysterious that it cannot be explained in a few words.

Lin Xun stayed at home, refining Qi during the day and observing the process of Patriarch Bodhi's Dharma development in the Daoyan Treasure Mirror at night, in order to seek a breakthrough.

He even went to the Five Elements Mountain twice and roasted some tiger meat to share with his cheap master Sun Wukong.

I have to say that this white tiger with hanging eyes is indeed a demon beast that has cultivated into a spirit. Although it has lived for hundreds of years, its meat is not greasy, but very tender and refreshing.

Especially after his careful baking, Sun Wukong was full of praise.

But every time Lin Xun wanted to learn the essence of the steps of Refining Qi into Spirit, the other party would keep silent.

In this case, he had no choice but to give up his plans in this regard, follow the steps, and calm down to practice.

Even though there were only a few days left before the three-month deadline mentioned by Sun Wukong, Lin Xun was practicing silently at home.

At this moment, the minions sent by Hushanjun also received the news.

Lin Xun brought such a big tiger back to the village and divided the meat in a grand manner. There was no reason why he could not bury it better than the ghosts.

After all, within a hundred miles of Dahei Mountain, there is only one city, a dozen towns, and hundreds of villages. They checked one by one and soon locked on the target, Heshi Village!
