Looking at Lin Chen in such a state, his domineering aura was as if he had returned to being that genius youth of the past. Dıscover more novels at novelꜰire.net
Lin Lang couldn't help but choke back a mouthful of saliva.
Behind Lin Lang, those toadies and servants who followed him were also shocked as they gazed towards Lin Chen, unable to believe that Lin Chen's strength was still so formidable.
"Lin Chen... no, Young Master, it was Lin Lang who was muddle-headed today. I offended you, please, magnanimous one, do not hold the ignorant to account..."
Lin Lang completely changed his previously arrogant demeanor, ingratiatingly fawning over Lin Chen with a servile smile.
Lin Chen spoke indifferently.
Hearing this, where would Lin Lang dare linger any longer? He beat a hasty retreat, scampering away as fast as he could.
However, just as he was leaving the Crown Prince Courtyard, his eyes revealed a resentful and venomous look; clearly, he harbored deep hatred for Lin Chen because he had been defeated by a single punch.
The servants who had come along with him also swarmed to follow Lin Lang's departure.
The crowd was unaware that as Lin Lang led his people out of Lin Chen's courtyard, in a distant pavilion, a young man was holding a cup of tea, intently observing everything that was happening here.
"My dear brother, you truly are an undying roach. It seems it won't be so simple to take your title of Princely Heir..."
Crown Prince Courtyard.
"Young Master, are you all right?"
After Lin Lang and his group left, Xiaoyu hurried forward with a pale face, looking at Lin Chen with concern.
Lin Chen shook his head.
He had already restored his cultivation to the Third Layer of the Body Tempering Realm.
Lin Lang was merely at the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering, hardly a threat to Lin Chen.
Among the younger generation of the Lin Family, Lin Lang was nothing but an incompetent wastrel. The real trouble was not Lin Lang, but the line of Uncle Lin Chen.
His uncle, with a son and a daughter, both had formidable cultivation levels; they had long coveted Lin Chen's position as Princely Heir for the past three years.
The fool Lin Lang, with today's actions, had instead probed the bottom line for them. The news that his own cultivation is in the Third Layer of the Body Tempering Realm would likely spread throughout the clan soon.
Lin Chen must enhance his strength as quickly as possible to cope with the upcoming troubles.
However, clenching his fists and feeling the abundant power inside him, Lin Chen couldn't help but smile contentedly.
According to the Scorching Sun Fire refinement technique of the Primordial Transformation Art, the ten meridians he had unblocked were indeed incredibly powerful.
Lin Chen had always known that the stronger the physique, the more oppressive the battle power at the same level of cultivation, crushing peers with a powerful physique.
If he continued to cultivate according to the Primordial Transformation Art and unblocked more meridians, Lin Chen would have nothing to fear even when facing Lin Liang and Lin Xue.
Although the elders who stood with his father's line in the clan would protect him, if Lin Liang and Lin Xue decided to strike him down ruthlessly, those elders might just turn a blind eye.
No matter what, one's own strength is always the most important thing.
Lin Chen instructed Xiaoyu not to leave the courtyard for the time being to prevent others from making things difficult for her.
Then he turned and returned to his room. Sitting cross-legged, Lin Chen began to meditate and regulate his breath according to the Cultivation Technique of the Primordial Transformation Art.
As the Cultivation Technique began to operate, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth swirled around him, surging towards Lin Chen's body like a tidal wave.
After the spiritual energy entered his body, he used the Primordial Transformation Art to transform it into Scorching Sun Fire, repeatedly flushing and refining Lin Chen's entire meridians.
Half an hour into his cultivation practice, Lin Chen opened his eyes, incredibly shaken inside.
The Primordial Transformation Art truly was profound, just half an hour of practice was comparable to half a month of cultivating with the Lin Family's techniques.
"This Primordial Transformation Art, it's much quicker compared to my Lin Family's cultivation techniques, but continuing to expand the meridians within my body is not so simple," Lin Chen thought to himself.
"If I want to rapidly increase my strength in a short time, it seems I need to rely on some external forces."
As Lin Chen spoke, he took out a medicine bottle and poured out a handful of elixirs.
A full twenty Body Tempering Pills.
The Body Tempering Pill is a first-grade elixir that can refine the flesh and expand the meridians.
Lin Chen swallowed a Body Tempering Pill, resumed his cultivation practice to absorb it, and instantly, the medicinal effect dispersed within his body, reaching every limb and bone.
After ten breaths, Lin Chen opened his eyes in surprise.
In the past, it took him half an hour to refine a single Body Tempering Pill.
Now, in less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had completely refined and absorbed the Body Tempering Pill, and all the impurities had been consumed by the Scorching Sun Fire formed from the Primordial Transformation Art within him.
Doesn't this mean he can consume elixirs indefinitely for cultivation, without fearing any side effects?
With this thought, Lin Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with keen light, and he promptly threw the handful of Body Tempering Pills into his mouth one by one.
Half an hour later, Lin Chen opened his eyes again, and his aura had become significantly more refined.
Although he had not broken through to the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering, he had cleared another ten meridians in his body, and Lin Chen could clearly feel that his strength had increased considerably.
Even at the Third Layer of Body Tempering, he could be invincible, and in a fight against the Fourth Layer, he could win without question. Even against the Fifth Layer, he could stand a fight.
This was the power of a Divine Physique, capable of fighting beyond one's own level!
Thinking this, a smile played on Lin Chen's lips, for the Primordial Transformation Art was truly domineering; with such cultivation, once he expanded his meridians, his breakthrough was bound to be a natural progression.
Sooner or later, he would reclaim his peak cultivation level.
And Lin Chen was confident that within half a year, not only would he restore his peak strength, but he could even surpass it!
Lin Chen looked at the five empty bottles placed by the side of the bed and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Five bottles of Body Tempering Pills, a total of one hundred, had only cleared ten meridians.
His body was like a bottomless pit, and who knew how many elixirs it would take to fill it.
Now, he was nothing more than a crown prince in name only, without so many elixirs at his disposal.
"That's right, I haven't collected the elixirs I'm entitled to this month; that might actually advance my cultivation quite a bit, perhaps even giving me hope of breaking through to the Fourth Layer of Body Tempering Realm."
With that thought, Lin Chen left the courtyard, ready to go to the Lin Family's Elixir Pavilion to collect the elixirs.
"Young Master, I've brought you the bruise ointment!"
Just as Lin Chen stepped out of the room, the maid Xiaoyu, covering her face with her hand, came over. In her palm, bruised from injury, she held a bottle of bruise ointment.
Xiaoyu's face was somewhat swollen, obviously injured by someone.
