Chapter 80: Wooden Stake Array, Spiritual Medicine Pool

Along the way, Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong also encountered many talisman puppets. Most of these talisman puppets moved slowly and were stiff all over. Apart from their great strength, they had almost no advantages.

After killing a few of them, the two of them lost interest in these talisman puppets and continued to move forward at full speed. However, after running for just a few minutes, Lin Changqiang stopped with a "serious" look on his face.

"Something's wrong, we've been here before!"

Seeing this, Lin Dong also stopped and looked in the direction of Lin Changqiang's sight, only to see a talisman puppet that had just been blasted to pieces lying not far to the left.

"Tsk, it looks like a formation." Little Marten also discovered something. He glanced around and scratched his paws in annoyance. "What a hassle! Master Marten hates these disgusting formations the most!"

“What should we do now?” Lin Dong was a little dumbfounded. “If we are trapped here forever, it will be very embarrassing if they see us later.”

"Don't be anxious. Although I'm not very good at formations, this wooden stake formation is not that great." The little mink waved his paws and closed his eyes, and a strange wave spread out.

"Go straight ahead for three hundred meters."

After a moment, the little mink opened his eyes and pointed forward. The two did not suspect anything and quickly moved forward three hundred meters, but still could not see the end.

"Push the wooden stake in front of you on the right side."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Changqiang, who had been unable to wait any longer, slapped him.

"boom!"

As the palm pushed down, the wooden stake in front of them automatically moved to the side, and a hidden passage suddenly appeared in front of the two.

"What an ingenious mechanism."

With an exclamation of admiration, Lin Changqiang and Lin Dong walked into the passage and continued forward. After pushing open several passages again according to Xiao Diao's instructions, a spacious training ground appeared in front of them.

In this training ground, hundreds of talisman puppets are neatly arranged, and they look no different from those in the wooden stake formation.

“Heh, useless decorations.” After taking a look at these talisman puppets, Lin Dong raised his eyebrows slightly, with a casual smile on his lips.

But just as he was about to take a step forward with confidence, Xiao Diao's voice suddenly rang out.

"These talisman puppets are all low-grade talisman puppets, and their combat power is no less than that of Yuandan realm great perfection."

The step he had just taken froze in an instant, and then Lin Dong's scalp went numb and he quickly retreated to Lin Changqiang's side.

“Hundreds of Yuan Dan realm masters? How are we going to get through?” After hearing what Xiao Diao said, Lin Dong had already prepared to retreat. If hundreds of masters rushed forward, even Lin Changqiang would probably have to temporarily avoid the attack, right?
“Haha, just walk over there.” Seeing that Lin Dong was successfully frightened by him, Xiao Diao was also very proud: “These rune puppets are actually scrapped. Not only do they not have any energy, even the runes in their bodies have dissipated. Now, they are just some useless lumps of iron.”

"Wait, so, as long as we add runes to these puppets, they can be activated again?"

Lin Changqiang looked at Fu Kui with some joy. Although he did not need a thug in the Yuandan realm, it was still a good idea to leave him to the Lin family as a talisman. In this way, even if he and Lin Dong left Yancheng, the Lin family would be able to rest assured.

Hearing this, Xiao Diao was stunned at first, then he scratched his head awkwardly: "In theory, this is true, but I wasn't very interested in rune puppets before, so I really don't know how to put the runes on them."

"This is an easy matter. We can go back and ask the seniors in this field. If it doesn't work, we can just sell them directly. Let's put these talisman puppets away first." Lin Changqiang touched Lin Dong's arm, and they packed up the talisman puppets together, but he couldn't help but think of the master of the tomb.

The two of them took away the talisman puppet, passed through the training ground unhindered, and came to a lake.

The lake was calm, but it did not emit an unpleasant odor like ordinary stagnant water. Instead, it was surrounded by a rich fragrance.

In the center of the lake is a small pond built of jade. The pond is about ten meters square and has an irregular circle shape, but it gives people a wonderful sense of beauty. Lin Changqiang only made a rough exploration and found several top-grade spiritual medicines in it.

"Get rich, get rich!"

Seeing the elixir, Lin Dong's eyes suddenly filled with joy. Without saying a word, he took out a few jade boxes and rushed towards the stone pool like an arrow. But at this moment, a familiar mental force supported his body.

"Lance?"

Lin Dong was startled at first when his forward momentum was blocked. After realizing that it was Lin Changqiang's mental power, he felt relieved and stopped struggling. He turned his head to look at the other party with a puzzled look.

"I have used my spiritual power to check. There are nearly three hundred spiritual herbs growing here, including three seventh-grade plants, fourteen sixth-grade plants, sixty to seventy fifth-grade plants, and nearly two hundred fourth-grade plants."

Lin Changqiang withdrew his gaze from the stone pool and looked at Lin Dong with burning eyes. He had a greedy idea.

"Whether it's rank seven, six, five or four, we obviously don't want to miss any of them, but in this case, leaving an empty pool here, isn't it a bit abrupt?"

Hearing this, Lin Dong frowned. When the younger generation of the Lin family competed, the prizes were only a few third-grade spiritual herbs. How could he be willing to leave higher-grade spiritual herbs to others now?
“Actually, if you think about it carefully, it’s normal and reasonable to build an empty pool in a lake…” After hesitating for a few seconds, Lin Dong was still extremely reluctant.

"If we want to look normal, we have to leave at least a hundred spiritual herbs behind. That's not cost-effective. We might as well take them all away. Even if they see that someone got there first, they won't know who it is!"

Looking at Lin Dong who had made up his mind, Lin Changqiang suddenly smiled and dissipated the mental power that was supporting Lin Dong.

“I think you misunderstood me.” Lin Changqiang turned around, and in Lin Dong’s puzzled eyes, he looked at Shi Chi with great energy, “What I meant is to take Yu Chi away directly!”

"boom!"

A vast amount of Yuan Force surged out from his body and transformed into a giant translucent hand, which quickly enveloped the entire medicine pool. When Lin Changqiang suddenly exerted force, the medicine pool also shook violently.

"Boom!"

The imagined stalemate did not occur. Under the full force of Lin Changqiang, the stone pool was easily lifted out of the lake and into the air.

“Collect!” Seeing that the stone pool was taken out so easily, Lin Changqiang was also very happy. He put the stone pool into the system backpack with a thought, and turned his head to look at Lin Dong with a smug look, “Done~”

Lin Dong, who had been standing there in a daze, finally came back to his senses. He quickly looked towards the lake, but saw that it was empty and there was no stone pool at all.

"Sure." He patted Lin Changqiang's shoulder excitedly. This way, the two of them wouldn't have to worry about it anymore.

“Lin Dong, you two have been out for an hour, why don’t you go back? It will be difficult to avoid being discovered after daybreak.”
