Wu dong Qian Kun: I, Lin Langtian, Refuse to be a Supporting Character

”The cold energy… it’s gone?” Qingtan’s delicate face lit up with joy as she felt the warmth lingering inside her body, soothing the frigid energy she had long suffered from. She let out a small sigh of relief before realizing that everyone was watching, making her cheeks flush with embarrassment.

Glancing up, her bright eyes fell on Lin Langtian, who was looking back with a knowing smile. She pouted slightly and said, ”Hmph, I appreciate you helping me get rid of the cold energy, but my dad, mom, and Brother Lin Dong went through so much because of you. I’ll remember your favor, but if Brother Lin Dong wants to give you a beating next time, don’t expect me to stop him. Maybe… maybe I’ll ask him to go easy, though.”

”Qingtan, watch your manners!” Lin Xiao, her adoptive father, immediately reprimanded her and turned to Lin Langtian, bowing apologetically. ”Apologies, Young Master Langtian. Qingtan doesn’t mean any disrespect. We are truly grateful for your help in dispelling her cold energy. My family will never forget this.”

Lin Dong couldn’t help but smile wryly at Qingtan’s comment about him teaching Lin Langtian a lesson. In the past, he’d been confident that, given enough time, he could surpass Lin Langtian. But after meeting him in person, Lin Dong sensed a mysterious, almost oppressive aura emanating from him. For the first time, he questioned if he’d ever catch up to this formidable opponent. More importantly, with Qingtan’s cold energy eased, his deep-seated resentment toward Lin Langtian was starting to fade. For Lin Dong, family came before anything else.

Lin Langtian chuckled at Qingtan’s feisty attitude. ”There’s no harm done. Qingtan is quite outspoken, which is refreshing. But it’s too soon for gratitude—her cold energy issue isn’t entirely resolved yet.”

”Oh… so it might come back?” Lin Xiao’s expression turned grave, and Qingtan’s once-joyful face clouded over. She knew the pain of this cold energy all too well. Every few weeks, she endured terrible pain that left her isolated and struggling alone in silence.

Lin Zhentian sighed sympathetically, but when he noticed Lin Langtian’s calm expression, he was struck with a glimmer of hope. ”Young Master Langtian, as the family’s greatest talent, I imagine you have some insight into how this issue might be fully resolved?”

Lin Langtian nodded and replied with a smile, ”The cold energy is rooted in Qingtan’s constitution, which is a rare condition known as the Demonic Yin Body.”

”The Demonic Yin Body?” Everyone looked at Lin Langtian in surprise, and Lin Xiao leaned forward, intrigued. ”Young Master Langtian, could you explain that a bit more?”

”Of course. This constitution, the Demonic Yin Body, is one of the most extreme forms of Yin energy. Unlike other Yin constitutions that can harmonize with Yang energy to balance the body, the Demonic Yin Body is fiercely exclusive—no Yang energy can coexist within it. This makes it powerful, yet volatile,” Lin Langtian explained.

”So, what’s the solution?” Lin Dong asked, his interest piqued.

”The solution is for Qingtan to absorb more Yin energy. The denser, the better,” Lin Langtian replied with a small smile. ”Attempting to neutralize her Yin energy with Yang energy would be pointless. Her Yin energy is an unyielding force. But instead of forming a standard Yuan Pill, she can condense a unique Yin Pill.”

”A Yin Pill?” Lin Xiao’s eyes widened.

”Exactly. Where a Yuan Pill combines Yin and Yang, a Yin Pill is purely concentrated Yin energy. In Qingtan’s case, her unique energy—known as Demonic Yin Energy—can be refined into a Demonic Yin Pill, a force stronger than an ordinary Yuan Pill.”

Lin Langtian’s eyes held a hint of admiration as he continued. ”In fact, Qingtan’s journey to strength might be even smoother than most. The Demonic Yin Body is practically a golden path toward power.”

”Then is the solution to her cold energy linked to this Demonic Yin Body?” Lin Zhentian asked, immediately understanding the core of the issue.

”Exactly. The key to preventing future outbreaks is for Qingtan to condense her Yin Pill. Once formed, this pill would anchor the Yin energy within her body, keeping it from randomly erupting and harming her. However, condensing this Yin Pill will require a rare, highly potent Yin-based material.”

”Oh, so it’s just as you suggested, Little Marten…” Lin Dong thought, surprised.

”I told you Lin Langtian is no ordinary person,” Little Marten’s lazy voice echoed in his mind. ”Even I can’t fully figure him out. His black flame that even frightened Qingtan’s cold energy, and the way he managed to absorb the chill so effortlessly—it’s impressive. It doesn’t surprise me that he recognized Qingtan’s constitution and knew the cure. Consider yourself lucky he has no ill will toward your family, or you’d stand no chance.”

Lin Dong felt his frustration intensify. Glancing at the composed Lin Langtian, he couldn’t help but feel outmatched. But he quickly shook off the feeling. His resolve was steadfast—adversity only strengthened his will. Looking at Lin Langtian, Lin Dong made a silent promise: Lin Langtian, from now on, you are my ultimate goal.

”Young Master Langtian, does the main family have such a rare Yin-based item?” Lin Xiao asked, his voice hopeful.

Lin Langtian shook his head. ”I’m afraid not,” Tao Lao answered. ”I would know, having been in service to the family for decades. There’s no record of such an item in the family treasury.”

Lin Xiao’s face fell at the news. If even the main family didn’t have such a treasure, it was clear just how rare it must be.

”There’s no need to worry,” Lin Langtian said with a small smile. ”It just so happens that in the Ancient Tomb we’re about to explore, there’s a Yin treasure called the Extreme Yin Dragon Essence. If Qingtan can obtain it, her Yin energy issues would be resolved, and she could fully condense her Yin Pill. I’d be happy to retrieve it as a gift for her.”

”The Ancient Tomb contains such a treasure?” Lin Xiao’s face brightened, like a glimmer of light breaking through dark clouds.

Lin Dong’s expression shifted. The Extreme Yin Dragon Essence was precisely what he had wanted to secure for Qingtan. However, with his current strength, obtaining such a treasure in a place swarming with powerhouses seemed nearly impossible. But for Lin Langtian, a top talent already in the Creation Stage, it would be almost effortless.

Lin Dong glanced over at Qingtan, who was finally at ease. Making up his mind, he approached Lin Langtian. Taking a deep breath, he bowed deeply before him.

”For Qingtan’s sake, thank you, Young Master Langtian.”
