Just as Lin Ji expected, after Xing Yuan's name was recorded in the book of cause and effect, the gift from heaven really appeared.
But the power of heaven is not simply cultivation, but more like some kind of adaptive force.
Because Lin Ji was injured, most of the gifts from Heaven were used to repair Lin Ji's injuries. It was only after Lin Ji had recovered more than half of his body that he finally began to improve his cultivation.
In the end, after spending three days, Lin Ji's cultivation improved further and he was not far from the late stage of the fifth realm.
But other than that, strangely enough, no adventure happened this time.
According to past practice, he should have had an epiphany during his cultivation.
But this time there was nothing.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.
But Lin Ji had no clue about this matter, so after thinking about it to no avail, he could only put it behind him temporarily.
In any case, he successfully escaped from danger, his injuries were mostly healed, and his cultivation level has improved a step further.
It was a blessing in disguise after all.
Therefore, Lin Ji had nothing to be dissatisfied with.
At noon, Xiaohua delivered the food on time.
After dinner, Lin Ji was bored and moved a chair to sit in the small courtyard where the side room was.
This is a side courtyard for people living in the Lin Mansion. During the day, everyone has their own activities, so this side courtyard is quiet, with only Lin Ji leisurely basking in the sun.
But just when he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep.
At the door of the side courtyard, there was a sudden sound of breaking wind.
Lin Ji didn't even open his eyes. He raised his hand and grabbed a small stone.
His consciousness has already explored it.
Behind the gate of the side courtyard, a three- or four-year-old kid was looking at him furtively, holding several other pieces of gravel in his hand.
Seeing that it was a child's prank, Lin Ji didn't take it seriously.
However, when the child saw Lin Ji grabbing the stone and crushing it without opening his eyes, he suddenly became more playful and fired the stones in his hand towards Lin Ji.
Lin Ji still closed his eyes, but this time he was too lazy to catch it again. Instead, he swung his backhand a few times and blocked all the stones away, like a slap in the face.
"What an unlucky boy, don't disturb my sleep." Lin Ji said with a yawn.
But it was Lin Ji's nonchalant attitude that aroused the child's competitive spirit.
He picked up another stone and threw it towards Lin Ji with all his strength.
This time, Lin Ji suddenly opened his eyes.
"Huh?" He actually felt a trace of spiritual energy on the stone.
After further investigation, he discovered that this child was actually a monk! Although he had just entered the body tempering realm for the first time, he had already entered the door of cultivation.
But being able to use spiritual energy, I'm afraid even adults may not be this child's opponent.
"It's interesting." Lin Ji became interested.
But just when he was about to stop the stone, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked the stone.
He was a lean man in his early forties with slightly dark skin and scars on his face.
As soon as this person appeared, the child's face suddenly changed and he wanted to run away.
But the lean man just took one step and grabbed the child's back collar.
"Teacher..." The child felt wronged and scared.
"Chun'er, how many times have I told you? Cultivation is not for you to bully the weak! Go and apologize to that gentleman!"
"is teacher."
The child came to Lin Ji with his head downcast. He first glared at Lin Ji fiercely, then glanced at the lean man behind him, and then reluctantly bowed and saluted.
"Lin Chun must apologize to Mr. Lin. It was Lin Chun who was naughty earlier and disturbed Mr. Xi's rest."
"No need." Lin Ji waved his hand and looked at the lean man again.
He took the initiative to stand up and cupped his hands towards the lean man.
"Who is this?"
Before the man could speak, Lin Chun said with a proud look on his face: "My teacher is Mr. Gao Linggao, the chief arrester of the Weizhou Jiantian Division!"
"It turns out to be the chief arrester." Lin Ji bowed again.
"Friends, you don't have to be like this. In this Lin Mansion, I'm just Chun'er's teacher." Gao Ling returned the gift with his hand.
After a few more polite words, he took Lin Chun and left.
Lin Ji didn't pay much attention to this little incident. He quickly sat on a chair and squinted his eyes, bathing in the sunshine and fell asleep.
…
Lin Mansion, in the living room.
A middle-aged man with a rich face and a big belly sat in the main seat with a kind smile on his face.
He is Lin Yuxuan, the master of the Lin family and a newly rising businessman in Victoria.
"President Gao, what about the guy from the side courtyard...?" Lin Yuxuan asked with a bit of inquiry.
"I've seen it, I don't have any cultivation, I'm just an ordinary person." Gao Ling said solemnly, "But his skills should be good, and he can guard against the stones thrown by Chun'er. For ordinary people, it is already very difficult.
But that man was able to do it with ease."
Lin Yuxuan is not yet relieved.
"So... he shouldn't be a gangster, right? Mr. Gao, it's not that Lin is suspicious, it's actually the current situation in Victoria... Hey, the one who came here was so bloody that he couldn't even see his face or the clothes on his body.
The injury is too serious."
"You must have encountered a powerful wild beast while hunting in the mountains. It doesn't matter for people who practice martial arts to be strong. Moreover, this person was saved by you. Even if this person does not know how to repay kindness, he will not repay kindness with enmity. Mr. Lin does not need to worry too much.
"
After a pause, Gao Ling said with some confidence: "And even if that person is wrong, with me here, the Lin Mansion will naturally be safe and sound."
"That's true. Then I'll trouble Mr. Gao to arrest him."
After receiving Gao Ling's guarantee, Lin Yuxuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "In that case, if he wants to stay, I will give him a job. This world is not easy."
"Mr. Lin has a broad mind, and Gao admires him."
"Hey, Mr. Gao is so unconventional. If you say I admire you, I admire you, Supervisor Tiansi, even more. It must be hard to live a life of licking blood at the edge of a knife."
"Used to it."
Having said this, Gao Ling stood up and cupped his hands.
"I have to go to the Yamen again, so I'll take my leave."
"I send you."
"Master Lin, stay."
…
In the side courtyard.
Lin Chun found Lin Ji again.
"Hello."
"Let it go." Lin Ji didn't even raise his eyelids.
"What does release mean?" Lin Chun scratched his head, not understanding.
Lin Ji opened his eyes and looked at the little kid in front of him.
"I just want you to fart quickly."
"You...are so mad at me!" Lin Chunqi coaxed, "If my teacher hadn't allowed me to use my cultivation to bully ordinary people, I definitely wouldn't have spared you!"
"It turns out it's the monk, I'm so scared." Lin Ji yawned, looking sleepy, "What does Mr. Lin Chun want from me?"
As soon as he heard Lin Ji's address, he became respectful, even though his tone was somewhat perfunctory, Lin Chun immediately calmed down.
After all, he is just a child.
"How did you do it before? You could tell that I was throwing stones at you without opening your eyes, and you could still block it."
Lin Chun moved closer.
"Teach me?"
"Dignified monk, do you want to ask for advice from an ordinary person like me?" Lin Ji grinned slightly.
"My teacher said, don't be ashamed to ask questions."
"My next question? Am I wronging you?"
"It's not that I feel wronged, just a little bit."
