Chapter 866: The Foundation of the Lin Family
This was his family, yet Lin Xuan called it the foundation of the Lin Family—could it be that Lin Xuan was truly a genius of his generation?!
At this thought, Lin Yi muttered to himself, "It seems that this eldest brother is no ordinary person either!"
Although Lin Yi was the Valley Master of the Myriad Demon Palace, his authority wasn't very significant.
Therefore, he merely respected Lin Xuan, but he did not fear him.
However, if Lin Xuan really was the descendant or inheritor of some hermit master, then Lin Yi would have to seriously consider his position.
Thus, Lin Yi asked, "Lin Xuan, what resources are you looking to gather?"
"I need to collect a large amount of Spiritual Medicine!" Lin Xuan answered gravely, "This batch is the foundation of our Lin Family and must not be revealed to others."
Hearing this, Lin Yi understood Lin Xuan's intention: "Alright, no problem, but this time, the quantity of resources is quite substantial and will take time to collect."
"Fine, I can give you three months' time, and I hope you can transport this batch of Spiritual Medicine to the Myriad Demon Palace. However, the precondition is that you must ensure the safety of the Spiritual Medicine."
"Naturally!" Lin Xuan nodded and then asked, "Valley Master, Lin Yi would like to enter a healing retreat. Could you arrange a safe residence for me?"
"Certainly, I'll arrange a secluded courtyard for you!" Lin Yi nodded.
Lin Yi's small courtyard was not within the villa but at the base of the mountain, on an extremely desolate hillside.
This hillside was one of the forbidden areas of the Myriad Demon Palace, where Lin Yi liked to spend his time.
Because the scenery here was beautiful, the surroundings were quiet and serene, and it was very secluded, few people ventured here.
In this way, Lin Yi would be able to recover from his injuries in tranquility.
Moreover, there weren't any significant events happening in the Myriad Demon Palace recently, so he had agreed to Lin Xuan's request.
"Thank you, Valley Master!" Lin Xuan nodded, then turned and left.
After Lin Xuan had gone, Lin Yi's gaze once again drifted toward the window and he muttered, "Lin Xuan, I hope you won't disappoint me, or else..."
As Lin Xuan's figure disappeared from view, Lin Yi closed his eyes again.
Before long, Lin Yi began to feel an intensifying pain in his mind, so he slowly stood up and walked into his bedroom.
The bedroom was simply furnished, yet well-organized and stylish.
Lin Yi sat cross-legged and began to meditate.
This battle had greatly impacted his spiritual power.
Although Lin Xuan had not taken actual action, only a wisp of his Divine Sense had materialized, Lin Yi still felt so suppressed that he found it difficult to breathe.
Lin Yi knew that Lin Xuan must have held back and had not used his full strength.
Therefore, Lin Yi had to make the most of every second, to recover from his injuries as quickly as possible.
Once Lin Yi's spiritual power recovered, his Combat Power could instantly soar.
Hence, he needed to urgently heal his injuries.
As Lin Yi's spiritual power entered his body, a tremendous suction force immediately absorbed all his spiritual power.
In Lin Yi's mind, there was also a black vortex constantly spinning.
Lin Yi's spiritual power followed the black vortex, rapidly streaming into it.
This vortex was like a massive black hole, endlessly devouring Lin Yi's spiritual power.
Lin Yi could only resist this force instinctively.
Time slowly passed, Lin Yi's complexion turned pale, and large beads of sweat slid down his forehead.
Blood also dribbled from the corner of his mouth.
The spiritual power spent in this battle was too much, and Lin Yi was beginning to feel overwhelmed.
Yet, this predicament made Lin Yi even more convinced that Lin Xuan was no ordinary disciple!
Lin Xuan's cultivation was absolutely much more formidable than his, and perhaps, he had already reached the Martial Sovereign Realm!
After an unknown period, Lin Yi's spiritual power was finally exhausted.
He opened his eyes, which flashed with thick horror, because this consumption was even more terrifying than when he had first arrived at Myriad Demons Valley!
"Whew..."
Lin Yi took a deep breath, raised his right hand, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"I hadn't expected that this battle would actually let me break through to the peak of Martial King," Lin Yi murmured to himself, "However, this breakthrough is merely that of a First Rank martial master."
"The peak of Martial King and the Martial King are only one realm apart, but unfortunately, it's a step I cannot take; otherwise, I wouldn't have wasted so much time..." Lin Yi shook his head with a trace of regret.
Between Martial King and the peak of Martial King was a chasm like that of a vast moat.
No matter how hard one tried, it could not be crossed.
But even at the early stage of Martial King, Lin Yi had no confidence he could defeat Lin Xuan!
After all, although Lin Yi was at the peak of Martial King, Lin Xuan was a genuine Martial Sovereign Realm powerhouse!
"I hope Lin Xuan succeeds in three months," Lin Yi sighed.
Lin Yi knew that Lin Xuan had high talent, but he couldn't expect him to transform overnight into a phoenix rising to the top of the tree!
"Right, I still need to prepare for my trip to the Holy Domain," Lin Yi muttered quietly to himself.
These days, Lin Yi had been in seclusion, and his reason for closing off was to prepare for his trip to the Holy Domain!
Lin Xuan was also the genius that Lin Yi admired most!
Now, Lin Yi had become a steward of Myriad Demons Valley.
The Valley Master of Myriad Demons Valley was the direct grandchild of the Myriad Demon Ancestor.
Therefore, Lin Yi was quite favored within Myriad Demons Valley. Even the Valley Master would treat him with great courtesy when they met.
Myriad Demons Valley was an affiliated force of the Holy Domain.
Within the Holy Domain, Myriad Demons Valley might not be the top force, but there were still many forces that feared it.
After all, within Myriad Demons Valley, there was a Martial Sovereign powerhouse!
That's why Lin Yi dared to be so arrogantly domineering!
In Myriad Demons Valley, apart from the Holy Sect, the Martial Sovereign was the most powerful, even more formidable than the Martial Emperor!
Lin Yi had also considered whether he could become the direct disciple of Myriad Demons Valley's Valley Master. Being the direct disciple of the Valley Master was like having the protection of the Holy Sect; who else would dare to bully him?
That's why Lin Yi held Lin Xuan in such high esteem!
However, Lin Yi had not anticipated that Lin Xuan's strength was so fierce, far beyond his expectations.
"Now that his strength has reached Martial Sovereign, he must not be far from Myriad Demon Palace!"
"Once Lin Xuan enters Myriad Demon Palace, then he will be a core disciple!"
"With such status, he will be more than enough to deal with me."
Lin Yi's eyes took on a slightly chilly look.
Although Lin Yi couldn't kill Lin Xuan, he could still threaten him.
This was Lin Yi's plan.
Lin Yi's goal was to become the Valley Master of Myriad Demons Valley!
So, Lin Yi had to enter the Martial Emperor Realm within three years successfully!
Otherwise, the elders of Myriad Demon Palace would definitely not let him off!
"This time, is my chance to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm!" Lin Yi clenched his fists, "I must make a breakthrough in one go, become an elder of Myriad Demons Valley, or even the direct disciple of the Valley Master!"
Lin Yi knew that within Myriad Demons Valley, there were countless resources.
