Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 357 The Lin Family of Qingyang Town

"Oh? I see. This is Qingyang Town in Tiandu County of the Great Yan Dynasty. Thank you for informing me, young friend."

Xiao Li carried Zi Yan on his back and walked down the mountain.

Lin Xiao, the young man standing to the side, could sense that this was an incredibly powerful being. Falling from such a height and creating such a large and deep crater on the ground, it was completely unharmed. It was truly terrifying. Could it be the legendary Nirvana Realm?

Lin Xiao didn't know what to say: "Senior, do you need to go to the clinic? I see that your female companion is seriously injured."

Xiao Li looked at Zi Yan. Zi Yan was indeed injured, but not seriously. She just needed to sleep for a few days. After she had slept enough, she would naturally wake up and be lively and energetic again.

"No need, just find a place to stay." Xiao Li felt a little dampness on his shoulder. He knew without a doubt that Zi Yan was drooling. She would probably need to sleep for a few days.

Lin Xiao suddenly thought of something: "Then why don't you come and stay at my house for a while, senior? My Lin family is located in Qingyang Town, and we have spare rooms. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house for a while."

"Qingyang Town, the Lin family? That's fine, then I'll have to trouble you, young friend Lin." Xiao Li nodded.

As the two walked out of the back mountain, they saw some signs of human activity, but they had all come from the activity in the back mountain of Qingyang Town.

"Young friend Lin, what realm are you in now?" Xiao Li looked at Lin Xiao. This was the Tianxuan Continent. If he wasn't mistaken, considering what the evil race outside the plane had said about the "Ancestor of Runes," this should be the plane where Lin Dong was located.

This black lotus brought him into this world.

"I am now in the late stage of the Earthly Realm, second only to my father in the family," Lin Xiao said with a hint of pride.

"Earthly Realm?" Xiao Li immediately used his soul power to cover the entire Qingyang Town, searching for some information.

The path of cultivation is to steal Yin and Yang, seize creation, undergo Nirvana, grasp life and death, and control reincarnation.

Lin Xiao absorbed the Yin energy of heaven and earth into his body and merged it with his internal Yuan power to become a cultivator at the Earthly Yuan Realm.

"What's wrong, senior?" Lin Xiao wondered what this strange senior was thinking.

"It's nothing. You have good talent, but it's a pity that you rely entirely on your own hard work, which is why you're a bit slow. If you had enough resources, you would probably be at least a Yuan Dan realm cultivator by now."

Xiao Li shook his head.

"Yuan Dan Realm? That's too exaggerated, isn't it? I also have resources. My father favored the family's resources because of my talent, and I cultivated to this level with the help of the family's resources." Lin Xiao didn't quite understand what Xiao Li meant.

Xiao Li glanced at Lin Xiao and shook his head. Lin Xiao's talent was not bad, but his vision was too narrow. At this level, he would probably be considered a Dou Zong in a major sect on the Dou Qi Continent. If he had enough opportunities, he might have a slight chance to break through to Dou Zun.

However, without strong resources, one might only be able to hover around the Douhuang level for the rest of their life.

In the path of cultivation, talent, comprehension, resources, experience, and opportunity are all indispensable. How can one become a strong person by simply relying on arduous cultivation?

Besides, you're not an alchemist, so you can't make medicine and then drink it yourself.

Soon, Lin Xiao brought Xiao Li to the Lin family in Qingyang Town.

Qingyang Town isn't very big, not even as big as Wutan City. The Lin family isn't the only dominant family in Qingyang Town; there are several other families that are openly and secretly fighting against them. However, these things are irrelevant to Xiao Li.

"Father, this Senior Xiao Li has come from afar and wishes to stay at our house for a while," Lin Xiao said to an elderly man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties.

"Oh?" This Lin Zhentian is the head of the Lin family, the only one in the Tianyuan Realm. He is dressed in a brocade robe and looks quite sturdy, with a touch of majesty between his brows.

Lin Zhentian looked at Xiao Li. Although he could not sense Xiao Li's aura, he was captivated by Xiao Li's eyes. Lin Zhentian was certain that this expert was much stronger than the elders in the clan!

"Senior Xiao, it is an honor for the Lin family to grace us with their presence. If there is anything we can do for you, please feel free to ask. Xiao'er, please take the senior to rest." Lin Zhentian said, wiping his sweat.

"Okay, senior, please follow me."

Soon, Lin Xiao led Xiao Li to a relatively secluded courtyard, which Xiao Li had specifically requested, as he preferred quiet.

Xiao Li laid Zi Yan flat on the bed, then took out a golden pill from his storage ring and fed it to Zi Yan. Zi Yan immediately crunched the pill into pieces.

The moment the pill was taken out, the entire room was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance. Lin Xiao was immediately immersed in the fragrance, and then the Yuan energy in his body began to surge!

Lin Xiao immediately sat down and began to cultivate. At this moment, Lin Xiao felt the Yuan energy between heaven and earth was extremely clear. He felt an extremely rich Yang Gang Qi in the medicinal fragrance and directly absorbed it into his body!

The way of martial arts is to steal Yin and Yang. This Yin and Yang means to absorb the two energies of Yin and Yang to break through realms. Absorbing Yin Sha Qi to break through to the Earth Origin Realm, and absorbing Yang Gang Qi to break through to the Heaven Origin Realm.

Yin and Yang energies are also divided into different grades. It is most convenient to obtain them directly from heaven and earth. Absorbing those special Yin and Yang energies makes one stronger than others of the same grade.

The fragrance of the pill that Lin Xiao ingested came from a ninth-grade golden pill from the Dou Qi Continent! The refining of this ninth-grade golden pill required Xiao Li's Yin Yang Emperor Flame and the Nine Profound Golden Thunder of heaven and earth!

Both of these items are the most supreme and yang-oriented items on the Dou Qi Continent. The fragrance emitted by the Golden Core alone was enough to allow Lin Xiao to break through his cultivation level.

"Hmm? He broke through?" Xiao Li turned his head and saw that Lin Xiao was quite lucky. Perhaps his cultivation level was low. He broke through after inhaling the fragrance of a ninth-grade golden pill. He was quite lucky.

Inhaling this medicinal fragrance not only helps one break through to a higher realm, but also cleanses the marrow and strengthens the body, making it many times better than those low-grade medicinal herbs.

Xiao Li crossed his legs and watched Lin Xiao break through, then took out a ninth-grade Xuan Dan and put it in his mouth to recover his fighting spirit.

In this plane, the conversion of the world's energy into Yuanli is faster, and then into Douqi is a bit slower, but it's not a big problem. Taking pills can also restore it. Xiao Li doesn't have much, but he has a lot of pills.

As long as he finds rare and precious medicinal materials on this continent, he can continue to refine pills. Even if these medicinal materials are unique to this plane, Xiao Li can still combine them with other medicinal materials through their medicinal properties.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiao woke up. This time, his unexpected entry into a cultivation state was surprisingly effective! He not only broke through to the Heavenly Origin Realm, but also absorbed the highest grade, ninth-level Yang Qi in one fell swoop!

Lin Xiao bowed deeply to Xiao Li: "Thank you, senior. Please accept my bow."

Xiao Li, with his legs crossed and eyes slightly narrowed, said, "Are you sure you want to perform this kneeling ceremony? Is this the kind of ceremony you'd give to your parents or teachers? Or do you want to become my disciple?"

Lin Xiao felt a tremor in his heart. He didn't even dare to think about being taken in as a disciple by such a powerful figure!

Lin Xiao asked, his voice trembling slightly, "Would you be willing to take me in, senior?"

Xiao Li looked at Lin Xiao: "You? You're not qualified to be my disciple! You may have some talent, but that's all. You think that's enough to make me take you as my apprentice? Not enough!"

Lin Xiao's eyes dimmed, but thinking about it, it made sense. How could such a powerful figure casually accept disciples? Lin Xiao knew he had good talent, but the powerful figure in front of him was probably above the Nirvana Realm. The Nirvana Realm was the top level in the entire Great Yan Dynasty.

How could someone like that possibly accept apprentices so casually?

"However, talent is only one factor. If someone has enough ambition and an unparalleled willpower, I might make an exception. Do you have that kind of willpower?"

Xiao Li continued.

"A strong will? I have it, senior! Ever since I was able to cultivate, I have been working hard. No one in the entire family is more diligent than me!" Lin Xiao said with a firm gaze.

"Oh? Is that so? Talking is useless. Fine! I'll take you in as a trial since I'm free. Remember, you're just a nominal disciple. If I'm not satisfied, I can kick you out anytime."

"After all, a useless piece of trash with no ability will only embarrass me if he stays there." Xiao Li said slowly, looking at Lin Xiao.

"Yes! Disciple Lin Xiao greets Master!" Lin Xiao immediately kowtowed three times to Xiao Li.
