C10 A Good Person will be Rewarded

The Great Yin Technique is a specialized cultivation method designed to absorb the chilling yin energy from the heavens and earth. This technique is structured into three distinct levels:

The first level is known as the Beginning of Winter.

The second level is called Flying Snow.

The third level is termed Three-Nine.

Each level is paired with a specific martial arts technique.

For the Beginning of Winter, the corresponding technique is the Withering Sword Technique, which consists of thirty-six forms.

Despite being the most basic level of the Great Yin Technique, it possesses a healing effect that can rapidly mend injuries. This is why every core disciple of the Tremblelaws Sect is required to master it.

As the evening sky dimmed, Lin Xiaoqiang, weary from a long day's work, felt the onset of fatigue. He had gathered some wood and placed it beside him before leaning back and closing his eyes to rest.

At the stroke of midnight, the girl inside the wooden house gently opened her eyes. They were more lucid than black gems, evoking a sense of humility in anyone who beheld them.

Listening to the sounds from outside, she slowly rose to her feet.

The night was still, filled with the crackling of burning wood and the steady breathing of Lin Xiaoqiang.

Unnoticed by the girl, something fell as she climbed out of bed. Approaching the door, she nudged it open just a sliver and peered out to see the campfire reduced to glowing embers, the warmth palpable even from a distance.

Her gaze flitted about before she retrieved a yellow paper from within her robes, sketched a few lines on it, and tossed it toward Lin Xiaoqiang.

The paper affixed itself to Lin Xiaoqiang's forehead.

Suddenly, Lin Xiaoqiang, deep in slumber, felt an immense pressure as if a mountain bore down upon him. Struggling to open his eyes, his eyelids seemed impossibly heavy.

Then, he caught sight of the girl approaching with a mischievous grin.

"…" Lin Xiaoqiang attempted to speak, but no sound emerged.

It was only then that he became aware of the object on his forehead.

Flapping wildly, it resembled a ridiculous curtain.

Thump! The girl delivered a sharp kick to Lin Xiaoqiang's backside.

The pain was intense; she had not held back in the slightest.

Lin Xiaoqiang grimaced, cursing the girl silently a thousand times over in his mind.

"You jerk, how dare you harbor such indecent thoughts about me. If it weren't for the fact that you saved me, I'd castrate you without a second thought." Lin Xiaoqiang felt a sudden chill in his groin. Damn, this girl was vicious. Only his little young lady's sister showed him any compassion.

After delivering a few more kicks to Lin Xiaoqiang's rear, the girl walked away. She blew a whistle, and a unicorn galloped from the distance, coming to a halt beside her. She grabbed her sword, mounted the horse, and vanished into the night.

Lin Xiaoqiang watched her disappear and tried to get up, but he was completely immobilized. He had no idea what she had done to him.

Fuming, he swore to himself that if he ever saw her again, he wouldn't hold back. He was determined to have his way with her...

Lin Xiaoqiang immediately felt guilty for such a sleazy thought.

His eyelids began to droop, and soon he couldn't keep them open. Despite his reluctance to sleep in such a perilous place—where being spotted and killed would mean his end—he couldn't resist the pull of slumber and eventually drifted off.

He didn't know how long he had been asleep when a monstrous roar startled him awake. The sound was terrifying, and he scrambled to his feet, ready to flee. After taking a couple of steps, he realized something was off.

Hadn't he been under someone's control just yesterday? How was he suddenly free?

Could this all be a dream?

He pinched himself and winced at the pain. No, this was definitely not a dream.

Relieved, Lin Xiaoqiang thought, "This girl isn't completely heartless after all."

He stretched and peered through the half-open door, spotting something golden on the bed. Curious, he entered the room, which was filled with a delicate scent—the girl's fragrance.

He picked up the object—it was a golden leaf, likely worn as an ornament. It bore a name and some inscriptions.

The name was rather charming: Zhang Zijin.

It must be the name of the girl.

He couldn't decipher the meaning of the words inside.

"Dragon arrives with its claws, tiger retreats with its back, mountains transform, and a hundred birds shed their feathers..."

As Lin Xiaoqiang muttered these words, they unexpectedly sprang to life.

The red energy sphere within him began to whirl frantically, finally coming to a halt after a considerable time.

A passage of text emerged in his mind.

Its purpose was unclear.

Lin Xiaoqiang felt a twinge of fear. He shifted his body slightly and, sensing no harm, his anxiety subsided.

Glancing outside, he realized it was getting late. He hadn't returned home the previous night, and Zhang Lili was likely worried.

He decided it was best to head back sooner rather than later.

He looked over the house and the leftover firewood from yesterday. With a mere thought, he transferred it all into the recycling base.

The woodpile grew significantly, now weighing in at over five hundred kilograms.

Lin Xiaoqiang thought it prudent to gather more, given the abundance of wood available.

His Azure Dragon Blade was exceedingly sharp, making the task of chopping wood almost effortless.

He ventured to the slope behind his house, wielding the Azure Dragon Blade, and began to chop and collect wood into the base.

In a short span, he amassed over three thousand kilograms of wood, likely enough to last him quite some time.

He took inventory of the items in the recycling base.

This time, he had struck it rich.

There were thirty-six long sabers and twenty-five long swords.

Additionally, there were various bottles and jars that he had hastily grabbed without a close examination.

With time on his hands, he decided to investigate.

Upon organizing them, he categorized the bottles and jars into two types: one for healing medicines and the other for pills that enhanced cultivation.

Lin Xiaoqiang marveled at the wonder of it all.

Then there was the matter of the coins.

The loot he had gathered from these individuals wasn't mere iron coins, but gold coins, which were quite valuable. One gold coin was worth a thousand iron coins.

In total, he had acquired twenty gold coins and ten silver coins.

Altogether, he now possessed thirty-two thousand iron coins.

He was, no doubt, on his way to becoming a famously wealthy man.

Lin Xiaoqiang couldn't help but smile to himself, thinking it was time to pick out a nice surprise for Zhang Lili. The only question was whether he could actually find what he wanted to buy. That's when the trading interface came to mind. He clicked it open and began scrolling through the listings. And to his surprise, it really did have everything.

Upon exploring the trading interface, Lin Xiaoqiang quickly realized that the amount of money he had was insignificant. Nevertheless, he settled on a bracelet that was decent, if not top-quality, and parted with nearly ten thousand iron coins. When prompted for an address, he entered the location of the wooden house, then placed the house back out again and settled in to wait.

Lin Xiaoqiang had no intention of disclosing his true residence; his strength wasn't up to par yet, and attracting unwanted attention could lead to complications. The seller had assured him the delivery would be swift, so he remained on the spot, waiting.

As he was starting to grow restless with boredom, a ping from the chat interface broke the silence. A new message had arrived. "Congratulations, you've received an enormous gift package." To Lin Xiaoqiang's astonishment, it was from the employer clad in red.
