Lin Yan rushed to the courtyards in the suburbs and rural areas with familiarity.

When passing by Tieniu's house, Lin Yan went in. As expected, Tieniu was still busy at the pier. Lin Yan told Tieniu's wife that she was back and asked Tieniu to come to the evening, and she didn't say much about anything else.

Tienniu’s wife is not a talkative person and will not reveal her whereabouts.

At this time, Lin Yan had long understood that the news that he had returned would never be known to Qingjue and Qingfeng and his son. Otherwise, what was waiting for him would be a catastrophe.

After leaving Tieniu's house, Lin Yan quickly returned to the courtyard where he lived alone.

The courtyard is very clean, and even the room is spotless. It is probably because the iron cow is often cleaned.

Lin Yan didn't do anything, so he made a cup of tea and sat at the stone table in the yard. Looking at the familiar ground, familiar trees, and familiar dress in the yard, I thought this was good, and it felt good to go home.

Sitting while drinking tea, at about five o'clock, a rapid knock on the door sounded outside the wooden door.

Lin Yan opened the door and it was indeed Iron Niu.

Tie Niu was sweating and panting. He obviously did not stop running all the way after hearing what his wife told him.

"Brother Lin Yan, is it really you?" Tien Niu's expression of excitement appeared on his face, but Lin Yan was still a little uncertain when facing Lin Yan's appearance changed drastically.

Lin Yan closed the door and said with a smile: "Who else can I have? Who else would run to this courtyard?"

When Tie Niu heard this voice, he immediately confirmed that it was Lin Yan himself, but he became even more excited: "Brother Lin, you are really back, it's so great!"

"I...I didn't expect to see you again!"

Tieniu patted Lin Yan's shoulder with both hands, tears flashing in his eyes.

"Yes, I'm back." Lin Yan was very moved. From Tie Niu's rush over to now Tie Niu's tears, he saw the true friendship of this big and thick man for himself.

After sitting down, Tie Niu couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Lin, there are rumors outside that you were trapped after you went to Long Island to experience it. Did you come out of Long Island?"

This seems to be something that Lin Yan doesn't need to answer, but the facts are just right in front of him, but it just shows that Tieniu cares about Lin Yan very much.

In fact, when Tie Niu learned that Lin Yan was trapped on Long Island and was the only one who had not returned from the island to train, he immediately rushed to the Inland Lake, but found that the land in the middle of the lake was really missing. At this moment, news about Lin Yan's death was sensational after Lin Yan received Mei Jiangxue's recommendation to participate in the city-wide competition, it spread throughout Xiaoshui City again. People were talking about Lin Yan's death, either sighing at Lin Yan's death, watching the fun, or choreographing the cause of death, but Tie Niu did not believe it.

Tieniu came to the courtyard to clean on time, and on the other hand, he was eagerly looking forward to the good brother coming back intact. Now, Tieniu finally waited for this moment, so he was so excited and so happy.

Lin Yan took the life on Dragon Island by hastily. As for the reason why he walked out of Dragon Island, he did not deliberately conceal it. Just entering the mysterious golden passage and leaving Dragon Island made Tie Niu feel extremely magical.

However, when Lin Yan finished talking about these things, Tie Niu was still immersed in the excitement of Lin Yan coming back safely, which was what Lin Yan was happy to see. After all, he did not want to mention it to anyone during the few months he lived alone on Dragon Island.

"Tie Niu, don't tell anyone about the news about me and what I just said and what I said later." Lin Yan did not forget to give me a careful advice.

"I know, Brother Lin wants me to do this, so there must be a reason."

Tie Niu immediately agreed, "Oh by the way, I just remembered something, that is, a week after you disappeared, Brother Lin, I came here to clean up and met a woman who said her name was Mei..."

Lin Yan naturally knew who Tie Niu was talking about. He was moved by Miss Jiangxue's concern for her. A smile couldn't help but appear on his lips, "What are Miss Mei's words left?"

Tienniu scratched her head and said, "That's not the case, but from the time she came in and left, her face was filled with sadness. When I came to the courtyard again, I never saw her again."

Lin Yan nodded. Mei Jiangxue must have thought she had died on Dragon Island.

"Tieniu, there is no trouble at the pier, right? Also, how are you practicing your vitality?"

Before going to Long Island to practice, Lin Yan asked Mei Jiangxue to bring a basic martial artist secret book and some elixirs to Tien Niu from Qingwu Sect, and taught the methods and precautions of cultivation. Now, calculating the time, Tien Niu should have the strength of about the second level of the innate realm.

When Tienniu heard Lin Yan talk about cultivation, he became even more excited, but he still did not forget to explain the matter on the dock clearly.

"The business of the dock is very good. Shen Fei and his group were afraid of Brother Lin and kept being honest. A few months ago, I heard that I left the dock and went to other places."

"Brother Lin, when it comes to cultivation, I don't know how to thank you. I originally thought that I will not be a warrior in my life, but I didn't expect that with the secrets and elixirs you gave me, I Tien Niu can also form vitality in my meridians. I am now a warrior at the first level of the innate realm."

Tieniu said proudly.

"Haha, don't thank me. Tieniu, you can become a warrior all depends on your own efforts." Lin Yan smiled. Although Tieniu's cultivation speed was slower than he expected, his original purpose was to help Tieniu realize the dream of a warrior.

But now, Lin Yan decided to give Tieniu a bigger chance.

"Tie Niu, do you want to become stronger?"

Tie Niu's eyes lit up, and he nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I want to do it. Since I have become a warrior, who doesn't want to make progress, haha."

Lin Yan also knew that Tien Niu was not practicing martial arts to make a name for himself, nor to gain fame. He was just purely interested in martial arts. Perhaps such a plain mind was more suitable for practice. Moreover, Lin Yan did not intend to hide the book "The Secret of Gold Swallowing" in his hand as a priceless treasure. Although "The Secret of Gold Swallowing" is an extremely magical, profound and precious mind method, it is dead after all. Only by using it can it be valued. I believe that the dead Master Xuanjin will not have any objection to this. What's more, Tien Niu is strong and may be the most suitable candidate to practice "The Secret of Gold Swallowing" and become an indestructible body of Vajra.

After handing over the "Secret Book of Swallowing Gold" to Tien Niu, explaining the mechanism of relying on swallowing metal to strengthen the body, and explaining some key points to pay attention to it, the mental method obtained by a generation of strange man, Master Xuanjin, finally found the next successor. As for whether Tien Niu can inherit Master Xuanjin's mantra and even carry it forward, it remains to be tested by time.

After having dinner and drinking with Tie Niu, Lin Yan returned to the courtyard when it was dark. When the two parted, Lin Yan handed over the jade taken from the edge of the pool and under the root of the Red Blood Ginseng to Tie Niu and asked him to sell it in the jade shop, which would probably earn a large amount of income.

After taking a shower, Lin Yan took out the Netherworld soft armor, bit his fingers and then regained his blood.

Master Netherworld is dead. This time, the bloody recognition of the master did not encounter any obstacles. The blood quickly merged into the soft armor of Netherworld.

As the blood light disappeared, Lin Yan immediately felt that he had established an invisible connection with the Netherworld Soft Armor, which was equivalent to truly controlling it. At the same time, Lin Yan also learned a series of information about the Netherworld Soft Armor.

The Netherworld Soft Armor is a defensive treasure that the Netherworld master personally refines. It can ignore attacks below the Longevity Realm. After wearing it, it can naturally divide many attack forces for the master. Lin Yan has verified this. The eight-armed evil dragon's arm, as thick as a tree trunk, slap himself hard, and the Netherworld ghost claws of the Netherworld people slap himself hard. It is the Netherworld Soft Armor that helped share most of the strength to save his life.

The four gaps on the soft armor were naturally left by Master Xuanjin, but as Lin Yan estimated, the gap can be repaired spontaneously by replenishing essence.

What surprised Lin Yan was that through the soft armor, he actually learned the detailed scene of the man trapped in the Bone Mountain in the Netherworld.

He once saw traces of dragon-shaped on the ground in the ancient castle under the Longdao Lake. It was indeed left by the giant dragon. However, after the dragon tribe fought against the invaders of another world ten thousand years ago, the giant dragon had died, leaving only the essence of dragon soul in the castle.

When Master Netherworld killed Master Xuanjin, he once discovered the dragon light and shadow in the lake on midnight on the full moon night, just like him. However, Master Netherworld did not go to the bottom of the lake to explore the mystery, but directly used the devouring technique in the Mysterious Art of Netherworld, hoping to swallow the energy contained in these light and shadows, which aroused the anger of the dragon essence in the ancient castle.

Although the dragon died, the dragon spirit essence left behind still has spiritual consciousness and terrible strength. He took the dragon's horns that were refined by the dragon during his lifetime, and turned into a half-empty and half-real dragon body to rush out of the bottom of the lake and went ashore to counterattack the Netherworld. However, the Netherworld had already practiced the ninth level of the Netherworld Xuanzhi at that time, and claimed to be invincible in the martial arts world. Although he suffered heavy injuries when fighting with Master Xuanjin, his strength was still terrible. In the end, he forced the dragon formed by the Dragon Spirit essence to drive all the beasts and at the cost of both form and spirit to barely suppress Master Yin at the foot of the Bone Mountain. Then, the Dragon's horns flew back to the ancient castle with their own spiritual consciousness.

This detailed scene happened after the life and death battle between the Netherworld and the Mysterious King. Logically speaking, the Netherworld soft armor has been sealed in the magic circle by the Mysterious King. When fighting with the giant dragon, the Netherworld soft armor is not around, so it is naturally impossible to remember this information. In fact, this information is not the independent memory of the Netherworld soft armor. No matter how magical the Netherworld soft armor is, it cannot have the independent memory function. This is just that the giant dragon imports the memory into the God Dragon's horn before the body and spirit are destroyed. Then, before the God Dragon's horn dissipates in Lin Yan's hand, the incomplete memory is introduced into the Netherworld soft armor.

This export and import back and forth also solved some doubts in Lin Yan.

"So that's the case." Lin Yan nodded and said to himself. No wonder the dragon's corpse could not be seen on the ancient castle and the dragon island. I guess the dragon had both body and spirit destroyed, and naturally, the body completely disappeared.
