Chapter 1656: Chapter 1655: Half of the 9th Golden Pill! Lin Dong utilized the Devouring Technique, consuming Toyotomi Noake’s Inner Qi and Blood Essence. Toyotomi Noake was greatly shocked at the moment. He felt the flow of Inner Qi within his body ebbing and cried out in horror: "You... What are you doing?" "You’re actually devouring my Inner Qi." Lin Dong did not respond to him, instead, he continued to devour. While he wished to struggle violently, Lin Dong had already used the prowess of a level-eight Grandmaster to suppress him. Moreover, now that Lin Dong had devoured more than half of his Inner Qi, it was even harder for him to struggle. A few minutes later, all of his Inner Qi was completely devoured by Lin Dong. And his Blood Essence, too, was transformed into white energy and devoured by Lin Dong. Toyotomi Noake, the Clan Chief of the Toyotomi family, was consumed alive by Lin Dong just like that. Reduced to nothing but skin and bones! After Lin Dong devoured the energy transformed from his Inner Qi and Blood Essence, he did not rush to refine it immediately. Instead, he threw his skeleton to the ground. Inside the Toyotomi Clan at that moment, most of the martial artists were covertly observing Toyotomi Kyokuon. Of course, there were also dozens of martial artists who were wavering. They were still hesitating. However, just then, something fell from the sky and with a ’Bang’, it hit the ground right in front of them. Everyone looked toward the ’thing’ and realized it wasn’t something at all. It was a skeleton! "It’s the Clan Chief’s skeleton!" 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶 "God, how could the Clan Chief end up in such a state, looking like he’d been dead for centuries, weathered by the wind!" "This Master Lin is too terrifying." "..." "Bang bang bang ～～～" At this moment, no one remained standing; all knelt down, willing to submit to Toyotomi Kyokuon. "From now on, we will follow Miss Kyokuon’s orders without question!" Hearing this, Toyotomi Kyokuon said indifferently: "You are to follow my commands, but more importantly, follow Master Lin’s orders!" "Master Lin is the true master of all of you!" All those present bowed their heads to the dust. "Yes! From now on, we all serve Master Lin!" Toyotomi Kei was the first to speak. And the rest followed suit in succession. At this moment, Lin Dong had already descended from the sky. Seeing these Yinghua Country martial artists kneeling before him, he had absolutely no interest. Even as dogs, Lin Dong would disdain them. He was merely helping Toyotomi Kyokuon; as for their allegiance, Lin Dong did not care all that much. These were people who would even betray their own clan. How could he expect them to be genuinely loyal? Whether they would betray Toyotomi Kyokuon in the future depended on her methods. All of these had nothing to do with Lin Dong. He was just a passerby who came to Yinghua Country to challenge, his goal was simply to topple the entire Yinghua Country Martial Arts World. As for taking control of the Yinghua Country Martial Arts World, he had no interest in that. After arriving beside Toyotomi Kyokuon, Lin Dong inquired: "Who should I kill?" Toyotomi Kyokuon pointed to two elderly Half-Step Earth Realm martial artists on the ground, saying: "Master Lin, could you please help me kill them? They were also complicit in the murder of my mother back in the day!" Lin Dong nodded and took direct action. "Boom Boom!!!!!" With two palms, he struck and directly killed the two elderly Half-Step Earth Realm martial artists. Seeing Lin Dong casually kill two Half-Step Earth Realm martial artists, everyone became even more unsettled, filled with immeasurable fear. "Any more?" Lin Dong swept his gaze around and asked Toyotomi Kyokuon. She shook her head, "No more." "Good, now, arrange a quiet secret chamber for me, I need to go into seclusion for about one hour," Lin Dong said aloud. "Yes!" Toyotomi Kyokuon nodded, then led Lin Dong to the secret chamber. On the way, Toyotomi Kyokuon suddenly said, "Master Lin, I heard earlier that you’ve been searching for Heavenly and Earthly treasures. Our Toyotomi Clan has collected two such treasures that are several hundred years old. Would you have any need for them?" Hearing this, Lin Dong narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Are you investigating me?" Toyotomi Kyokuon hurriedly responded, "It was just a casual inquiry about your preferences." "I am preparing to serve you, right? So naturally, I need to inquire about my master’s preferences to suit them." "You’re quite straightforward," Lin Dong said with a faint smile, then asked, "Besides finding out this preference of mine, what else did you learn?" "Hehe, master, I also learned that you have a fondness for beauty. You have many beautiful confidantes, and all these confidantes are celestial-level beauties..." Toyotomi Kyokuon said, "Master, if you don’t mind that I have half of Yinghua Country’s bloodline, I can also scout for you." "I can do anything at all, master." "I may not have been with a man before, it’s my first time, but I’ve seen pigs run even if I haven’t eaten pork. I’ve watched many of those kinds of videos from our Yinghua Country." "Plus, I can learn on the spot, I’m very good at learning, as long as the master is willing to teach, I can learn anything..." Upon hearing these words, Lin Dong gave her an exasperated look, "Enough, just hurry up and bring those two Heavenly and Earthly treasures collected by your Toyotomi Clan." "I’m going to go into seclusion now." Toyotomi Kyokuon looked at Lin Dong with a grievance, then muttered, "Master, you must dislike me for not being as beautiful as Piao Xue and your other confidantes, right?" "Wuwu, although there’s a slight gap between me and Piao Xue and those beauties, I still look good. I don’t lose out to those female stars in our Yinghua Country at all." "Take a look at my legs, look at my waist, then have a look at my figure." "And I’m obedient, I can do anything as long as the master desires..." Lin Dong glared at her, "Don’t push your luck, quickly go get the herbs. After my seclusion, I still need to kill the rest of the Yinghua Country Martial Union’s fugitives!" Seeing Lin Dong seemingly get really angry, Toyotomi Kyokuon didn’t dare to say anymore, hurriedly replied with a "Yes." She quickly went to get those two Heavenly and Earthly treasures. Soon, she brought the two treasures back. They were a four hundred-year-old Sea Ganoderma and a five hundred-year-old Sea Ginseng. Since Yinghua Country is an island country, there are more of these treasures in the sea. These two treasures both come from the depths of the sea. After obtaining these two treasures, Lin Dong entered the secret chamber to start cultivating. Toyotomi Kyokuon, meanwhile, waited outside the door, like a loyal servant girl. Upon entering the secret chamber, Lin Dong began to refine the Inner Qi and Blood Energy he had recently devoured from Toyotomi Noake. Because he had earlier absorbed four Heavenly and Earthly treasures and a Yin Device at the Martial Alliance, using the Nine Shift Longevity secret, he was now able to use the ’Devouring Technique’ again. Of these two cultivation methods, the Nine Shift Longevity secret can be used freely, allowing continuous cultivation through devouring Heavenly and Earthly treasures, Yin Energy, Yin Veins, and Spiritual Veins, etc. However, the Devouring Technique cannot be used without conditions. After using the Devouring Technique to devour Inner Qi for cultivation and increasing cultivation level to a certain extent, the next time, one must use the Nine Shift Longevity secret to complement it. Otherwise, continuously using the Devouring Technique to devour others’ Inner Qi for cultivation could lead to deviating into evil territory. At that point, Lin Dong’s cultivation would be in vain. At the moment, Lin Dong began to refine the energy transformed from Toyotomi Noake’s Inner Qi and Blood Essence. About half an hour later, the refinement was complete. Yet the lifetime cultivation of a Seventh Stage Grandmaster Warrior still wasn’t enough to condense half of Lin Dong’s ninth Golden Pill. Just a little bit more! Afterward, Lin Dong used the Nine Shift Longevity secret again to refine the two Heavenly and Earthly treasures! After refining them, finally, within the center of Lin Dong’s Dantian, the ninth Golden Pill formed halfway!!!
