I'll be able to surpass him in no time; there's absolutely no need for that.
Upon hearing Lin Yi's words, the expressions on everyone's faces in the hall became quite interesting, and they stared at Lin Yi as if he were a fool.
Doesn't this guy know how many people in Yan City are begging to become Master Yan's disciple? And he actually refused!
"Oh, I see. That's a real shame."
Yan Xuan felt a little regretful upon hearing this, but he didn't dwell on it.
"Thank you for your high regard, Master Yan. I have some matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now," Lin Yi said, bowing to Master Yan before leaving the Wonders Pavilion amidst the stunned gazes of some people.
After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Lin Yi first found a secluded spot and transferred all the Yang Yuan Stones and Yang Yuan Pills from his Qiankun Ring to his Qiankun Bag. Then he inquired about the location of the Wan Jin Merchant Guild.
If I go back now and take out a large number of Yang Yuan Stones from the empty Qiankun Bag I just bought at the Qiwu Tower, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, Lin Yi decided to go to another place to buy the medicinal herbs.
In addition to its internal auction hall, Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce also has an external commercial trading area.
Although it's only outside, here, even fourth-grade spiritual herbs are not considered rare.
A grade four spiritual herb is worth one hundred Yang Yuan Stones, and Lin Yi bought twenty of them directly!
He could have bought even more if he hadn't been afraid of attracting too much attention.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, after purchasing the spiritual herbs, Lin Yi immediately left the Wan Jin Merchant Guild and headed back to Qingyang Town from Yan City.
After returning home, Lin Yi used his mysterious master as an excuse to give Lin Xiao five hundred Yang Yuan Pills, instructing Lin Xiao to use them for cultivation.
After dinner, Lin Yi returned to his room and used the stone talisman to refine all twenty grade four spiritual herbs into pills.
After putting away the pills, Lin Yi had a slight thought and took out an ancient scroll from his Qiankun Ring.
Slowly unroll the scroll, and you'll find the contents of the "Refining Spirit Technique".
Chapter 17 Two consecutive promotions, the hunt begins!
Lin Yi carefully read through the contents of the Refining Spirit Technique, and after a long while, he nodded slightly.
Lin Yi discovered that he seemed to have an extremely high talent in mental power cultivation.
He easily understood the incantation in the manual.
"Gather divine light, reach the heart of heaven, calm the mind and find peace of spirit, and find tranquility in the mind and peace of spirit..."
The incantation of the Refining Spirit Technique slowly rose in Lin Yi's mind, and his mind gradually became focused, with all thoughts returning to one!
Half an hour later, Lin Yi suddenly felt a momentary daze, and wisps of spiritual energy seeped out from his mind and slowly spread out.
As his spiritual energy spread, Lin Yi, with his eyes closed, clearly "saw" the scene inside the house. Then, invisible spiritual energy drifted and covered the entire courtyard, before spreading towards the back mountain...
The spread of spiritual power is unstoppable!
Faced with this invisible spiritual force, others are completely unaware, yet their words and actions are being observed.
This feeling was novel to Lin Yi, who had just begun cultivating his spiritual power.
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Yi slowly withdrew his spiritual power and stopped cultivating, a look of joy flashing in his eyes.
He had already formally entered the realm of spiritual power on his very first attempt.
……
Cultivation takes no time.
Before we knew it, nearly four months had passed, and the year was drawing to a close.
As the year draws to a close, the liveliness of Qingyang Town gradually reaches its peak.
Numerous forces from within a hundred miles flocked to the town, causing the population flow in Qingyang Town to reach its highest point in several years.
This is not only because the end of the year is approaching, but also because the hunting competition in Qingyang Town is scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The hunting competition was to be held at the Beast Horn Arena, outside of Qingyang Town.
This is the most magnificent building in Qingyang Town, covering an extremely large area, even encompassing a forest stretching for dozens of miles.
In the heart of that jungle, there is a giant platform transformed from a small mountain, where countless eyes will be watching.
The champion of the hunting competition will be decided there.
Amidst countless expectant gazes, the day of the hunt officially arrived.
The atmosphere in Qingyang Town was undoubtedly boiling over. A massive crowd of people converged on the Beast Horn Arena, a sight that made one's blood boil.
On a high platform, Lin Yi and a group of core members of the Lin family were looking down at the dense jungle below. Leading them was naturally Lin Zhentian, the head of the Lin family.
"The hunt begins here. The jungle below connects directly to the deep mountains, so there are many ferocious beasts inside. Each participant in the hunting competition will receive a tag that identifies them and will be thrown into the jungle. In that jungle, you will need to rely on your own abilities to escape from the clutches of those beasts."
Looking down at the jungle below, Lin Xiao explained the rules of the competition to Lin Yi.
"In addition, you need to find a way to obtain ten identity tokens from others in order to qualify for entering the giant platform in the center of the jungle. The hunting competition is not only about hunting beasts, but more importantly, it's about hunting hunters."
"I understand," Lin Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
"By the way, I heard that Lei Li of the Lei family has recently broken through to the Earthly Realm. If you encounter him while hunting, you must not let your guard down."
At this moment, Lin Zhentian, who was standing to the side, suddenly reminded Lin Yi.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll be careful."
In fact, Lin Yi didn't take Lei Li seriously at all.
Even if they were at the same level, Lin Yi was 100% confident that he could defeat Lei Li.
Not to mention, in the past four months, his cultivation has broken through twice and reached the late stage of the Earth Origin Realm. Dealing with Lei Li, who is at the early stage of the Earth Origin Realm, is a piece of cake!
"Well, what kind of results the Lin family can achieve this time depends on your performance," Lin Zhentian nodded slightly, his eyes filled with satisfaction as he looked at Lin Yi.
"Hehe, Lin Zhentian, long time no see. It seems your old bones are still as strong as ever."
Just as the Lin family members were talking, a laugh suddenly came from not far away.
Upon hearing the laughter, Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, and the others frowned, and the smiles on their faces faded.
Lin Yi looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw a large group of people coming in a grand procession.
Where this group of people passed, the crowd quickly dispersed, their expressions showing considerable fear.
Lin Yi recognized them at a glance as the men from the Lei and Xie families.
At the very front of this group, Lei Bao, the head of the Lei family, and Xie Qian, the head of the Xie family, were walking side by side.
Behind them, Lin Yi also spotted two familiar figures: Xie Yingying and Lei Li, with whom he had clashed in the trading market.
Lei Li and Xie Yingying also noticed Lin Yi. The former smiled and waved his hand at Lin Yi from a distance, his provocation quite obvious.
"Old Lei, don't worry, I'll be in my coffin even later than you," Lin Zhentian said with a loud laugh as he watched the Lei and Xie families approach.
After a heated exchange, the two sides went their separate ways.
Led by Lin Zhentian, the Lin family group went directly to the very center of the Beast Horn Arena, which also had the best view.
Here, you can not only overlook the dense jungle below, but also clearly see the scenery on the giant platform.
Those who are able to enter this area are mostly some of the more powerful forces within Qingyang Town.
Upon seeing the Lin family arrive, these people all stood up to greet Lin Zhentian.
After some socializing, Lin Zhentian led everyone to sit down on a stone bench.
As the Lin family members took their seats, many more powerful figures followed, making the atmosphere even more exciting.
After waiting for a while, the Mad Blade Martial Arts School's forces, led by their master Luo Cheng, finally arrived.
Upon seeing the Mad Blade Martial Arts School's group approaching, Lin Zhentian smiled, stood up, cupped his hands in greeting to Luo Cheng.
When Lin Zhentian greeted him, a slightly stiff smile appeared on Luo Cheng's expressionless face.
Because of the targeting by the Lei and Xie families, the Mad Blade Martial Arts School has maintained a good relationship with the Lin family in recent years.
After exchanging pleasantries, Luo Cheng led the Mad Blade Martial Arts School members to sit down not far from the Lin family.
With the arrival of the Mad Blade Martial Arts School, the forces in Qingyang Town are now basically all in place.
Therefore, as the sun rose high in the sky, Lei Bao also stood up, his cold, sharp gaze sweeping around, bringing a brief silence back to the Beast Horn Arena.
"Everyone, today is the most exciting day in Qingyang Town. I won't go into the hunting rules again. As long as you can get ten identity tokens, you can go up to that giant platform, where the true hunting champion will be born!"
Lei Bao's deep voice, mixed with his elemental energy, echoed in every corner of the Beast Horn Arena, and everyone could hear it.
"The identity tokens have all been collected. Now, the younger members of each family will enter the Beast Horn Arena to begin the hunt!"
"Yi'er, take this identity token and be careful." Lin Xiao took out a black and yellow wooden token from his pocket. The token was engraved with the character "Lin" and some intricate patterns.
Lin Yi stuffed the wooden plaque into his pocket, and without saying a word, walked directly to the edge of the platform. Ignoring Lei Li's provocation, he jumped down into the dense forest below.
Chapter 18 News of the Fire Python Tiger: The Oriole Waits for the Cicada!
At this moment, many figures have already rushed into the jungle, and everyone is on guard against each other.
The hunt had already begun, and Lin Yi didn't waste any time, walking unhurriedly into the dense jungle.
As he entered the jungle, the noise that had filled his ears was drowned out by the dense forest, and for a moment, it became much quieter.
Lin Yi determined the direction and then quickly headed towards the giant mountain platform in the center of the jungle.
Anyway, all these contestants will eventually go there, so he doesn't need to go around looking for them.
In fact, before Lin Yi even reached the giant platform in the center of the jungle, he encountered some guys on the way who wanted to snatch his identity token.
Lin Yi naturally wouldn't hold back and easily seized the other party's identity token.
Apart from Lin Yi, the strongest among the younger generation from Qingyang Town participating in the hunting competition was Lei Li, who was only at the early stage of the Earthly Realm and posed no threat to him.
Lin Yi easily collected more than a dozen identity tokens.
As time passed, Lin Yi gradually ventured deeper into the jungle.
To Lin Yi's surprise, he didn't encounter a single acquaintance along the way.
"laugh!"
Suddenly, a clump of bushes trembled slightly, and then an arrow shot out towards Lin Yi!
