Lin Bai exclaimed, "Elder sister! After you finished your medicine, I feel stronger and my steps are much lighter."
Lin Qing chimed in, "Yes, elder sister! I feel like I'm floating when I walk! My eyesight is even better than before!"
Lin Ru also deeply felt the wonders of the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Her strength was twice as great as before, and not only were her hearing and eyesight sharp, but her body also felt lighter.
Lin Ru instructed her three younger brothers: "Stay home obediently tomorrow! Don't go out to watch the excitement, and make sure you keep your mouth shut. Everything that happens tonight is a secret between us, understand?"
The three little ones patted their chests and assured her, "Don't worry, eldest sister! This is our secret!"
After a night of commotion, all four of them were exhausted. They went to another dilapidated house and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) together.
Lin Bai suddenly said, "Elder sister! I can't believe this is real! We not only ate meat, but we also beat up Grandpa and the others. I'm so afraid that I'll turn back into the way I was when I wake up."
Looking at the three thin children nestled beside her, Lin Ru assured them, "Don't worry! Your eldest sister will protect you from now on! Things will get better!"
The three little ones felt much more at ease and fell asleep soon after.
The next day, Lin Ru was awakened by a system broadcast in her mind.
"Ding! The hatred value of the Lin family father and son has increased by 1500 points. Congratulations, host, for triggering the reward mechanism. Would you like to redeem the reward?"
Lin Ru was somewhat surprised! What happened this morning? Why did the hatred level increase so much?
However, she didn't think much of it and happily communicated with the system: "Exchange!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully redeeming the Level 6 Beginner Martial Arts reward. Beginner Martial Arts Skill achieved."
Lin Ru waited for a while and found that the system broadcast had finished.
Lin Ru was stunned: "Three thousand points of hatred points, and this is what she got? Basic martial arts? What the hell? She already knows kung fu!"
But soon she found it appealing, because when she got up to do her morning exercise, she discovered that she actually had a set of techniques in her mind, and she could even use them skillfully. While she was using the techniques, she felt a strange power within her body.
When she could easily jump over the top of her own wall, she realized that this was the legendary internal energy.
Although it's not as powerful as spiritual energy, it still smells delicious!
She can't wait to rack up hatred points!
She's growing to love this novel lifestyle more and more!
Just as she was getting familiar with her internal energy and techniques, Lin Bai came out rubbing his eyes.
He watched his sister execute each move with clean and efficient movements, and exclaimed in amazement, "Sis! I've been wanting to ask you this since yesterday! Who taught you martial arts!"
Lin Ru replied without batting an eye, "He's just a wandering Taoist priest!"
Lin Bai was full of admiration: "As expected of the eldest sister! She's amazing!"
Lin Ru was amused by Lin Bai's earnest yet adorable appearance: "Do you want to learn? I want your senior to teach you!"
Lin Bai was very excited: "Really? Sis! I want to learn!"
Lin Ru patted Lin Bai's head: "Of course it's true! Your sister will need your protection from now on!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai immediately clenched his little fist: "I will!"
Looking at Lin Bai's serious expression, Lin Ru asked, "Can I ask you for a favor now?"
Lin Bai immediately became serious: "Elder sister, please speak! Your younger brother will definitely do it!"
Lin Ru said with a smile, "Let's go buy a chicken, and then go to Butcher Wang's to buy a few pounds of meat!"
After saying that, Lin Ru took out another half tael of silver and gave it to him.
Lin Bai replied very solemnly, "Yes, elder sister! I will definitely do it well!"
After saying that, he ran out.
Lin Ru went inside, closed her eyes, and silently chanted a spell, preparing to check on Taobao to see if she had bought the health-enhancing pills that had been posted yesterday.
To my surprise, as soon as I logged in, I only received one message!
Lin Ru opened the message and saw it was from someone with the virtual name "I won't ascend to immortality or change my name".
I won't ascend to immortality or change my name: I have no spirit stones, only silver. Will you sell?
Lin Ru never expected that there was actually a big shot with money! He probably didn't see her contact name; what she wanted was money!
So he replied: How much?
No ascension to immortality, no name change: One hundred taels of silver
Lin Ru: Too little!
"No ascension to immortality, no name change: Here's another token for you! Made of Xuan Iron!"
Lin Ru was somewhat surprised! This kind of black iron is extremely rare and hard to come by!
Lin Ru: Are you sure?
No ascension to immortality, no name change: Confirmed!
One hundred taels of silver was a lot for her now, but she didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain!
Lin Ru immediately agreed!
Lin Ru and the other person immediately clicked to confirm the transaction.
A moment later, Lin Ru had a heavy 100 taels of silver in her hand, along with a pitch-black token!
Lin Ru put the silver into her spatial storage and then carefully examined the token!
The words "martial arts" are faintly visible above.
When Lin Ru receives something like this, she habitually performs a blood oath to acknowledge its owner!
But to my surprise, this stuff didn't react at all when I dripped it on.
Lin Ru felt she had been deceived, so she casually tossed it into her spatial storage!
She thought of Bai Shi again, feeling a bit troubled by Bai Shi's personality, but she still planned to take Bai Shi to town to get a checkup today.
Although the medicine provided by the system is very effective, it's better to be safe than sorry.
Meanwhile, in a tribe, the high priest suddenly opened his eyes and ran out with great joy!
After Lin Mo and Lin Qing came out, Lin Ru asked Lin Mo to borrow a cart so that they could take Bai Shi to town for medical treatment.
Lin Ru waited for Lin Bai to return, then led her two younger brothers to start cooking.
Looking at the prepared chicken and chopped meat, he patted Lin Bai's head with satisfaction.
I've made up my mind to go to town today and buy some good knives and bowls/chopsticks.
Lin Ru put the chicken and meat into the pot to stew, and then put some flatbread on the side of the pot.
While waiting for it to be taken off the heat, I added some salt.
Looking at the clear broth and meat, Lin Ru thought that she must buy more seasonings when she went to town, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to keep going.
After Lin Mo returned, everyone called Bai Shi to eat.
Perhaps it was the beating she received yesterday that made Bai completely give up, or perhaps it was her daughter's words that woke her up.
She didn't cry or make a fuss after eating, and she didn't object when it was said that she would be taken to the city for medical treatment, which reassured Lin Ru a lot.
On the way, Lin Ru and the other three pulled the cart together, while Bai Shi lay obediently on it.
Lin Bai said excitedly, "Elder sister! Today, I heard from Grandma Song that when Widow Zhang's daughter-in-law got up to cook this morning, she saw three naked men outside. She screamed and started calling for Widow Zhang's son while hitting them with a stick."
"Because all three of them were covering their faces, Zhang's son couldn't tell who they were, so he picked up a stick from the side and started hitting them."
"It wasn't until Widow Zhang came out and recognized the three that she let them leave. But by the time they opened the door, it was already crowded with onlookers!"
Lin Bai recounted the story vividly, which made Lin Ru and the others burst into laughter.
Lin Mo also said, "I heard that if Grandpa and the other two hadn't fainted as soon as they got home, Grandma would probably have already gone back to her parents' home by now!"
