It was a chilly night.
The Lin Clan Sect Residence was situated deep within the Outer Residence.
Two young figures stood together next to a man-made cascading waterfall.
One of the silhouettes belonged to Lin Shi.
“Lin Han? That’s ridiculous! This subdivision disciple of petty status like a nonentity defeated you twice? That’s unforgivable!”
The slim figure that was standing beside Lin Shi yelled suddenly.
This thin man was none other than Lin Shi’s elder brother, Lin Lang – the talented disciple who ranked seventh in power among the Outer Residence.
“Older Brother, you must crush that lad!” Lin Shi’s dantian that had been destroyed twice could no longer be healed. In other words, all his martial arts practice was also brought down to nothing. His body was fuelled by the resentment he had against Lin Han.
“Don’t worry, you’re my only brother. Your loss will be avenged. When the time comes, I will take off the man’s head and present it to you.” A determined expression flashed across Lin Lang’s face as he declared.
“Thank you, Older Brother!”
Lin Shi was overjoyed. His ruthless tiny eyes were filled with cruel intentions as he announced, “Lin Han, you’re dead to me!”
…
The early morning of the following day.
Squeak!
As usual, Lin Han pushed the door of his house open and took a deep breath.
However, today’s Lin Han was no longer the lowly subdivision ghost like he once was.
“Young Master.”
A crisp voice rang in the air.
Xiao Nu the maid wore her hair in plaits. She walked over holding a basin filled with water in her tiny hands.
After washing up, Lin Han hurriedly walked out of his house and towards the Lin Clan Sect Residence.
Today, he was going to execute the “decision” that he had promised himself yesterday.
In other words, he would head into Broken Sky Forest to hunt down demonic beasts in exchange for money. He would then spend that money on spiritual pills that would assist him in breaking through his current martial arts state.
However, spiritual pills were generally very expensive so he would need a lot of money.
Therefore, Lin Han only held a wait-and-see attitude. He thought that at the very least, he could practice his martial arts techniques even if he could not hunt down enough demonic beasts.
With his current strength, Lin Han was qualified to be among the top 25 in tomorrow’s Outer Residence Tournament. At least he would not be sent back to his hometown.
However, Lin Han still wished to be fully prepared to compete for the top three, or even the champion title. If he succeeded, he would receive attention from the sect residence’s upper-level management and finally obtain more resources for his cultivation purposes.
After all, resources were essential for practicing martial arts.
Even if Lin Han possessed world-famous skills and demonic talents, he still required a lot of resources to accumulate his strength in order to force his best self out of the abyss and into the sky like a dragon.
Only by becoming powerful in the shortest time he could muster was he able to survive and break out of this marginal area into the land of the truly magnificent.
It was only then that he could search for the mysterious and strange Ancient Land, murder the “Ice God” Lan Bingyan to avenge and complete the last wish of the superior Dragon Emperor that had blessed him with this glorious transformation.
An hour later, Lin Han first arrived at the well-known Pavilion of Spiritual Pills in Broken Sky City to inquire about the price of the spiritual pills.
“The key to progressing from martial arts third tier into the fourth tier is the transforming of True Qi to True Element. It’s also an important step for a Warrior to advance into a Master. We have a medicinal pill called the Element Condensation Pill, which can aid you in breaking through your current boundary.”
Inside the Pavilion of Spiritual Pills, an old man dressed in a black robe smiled as he explained to Lin Han.
The old man had noticed the massive “Lin” character embroidered on Lin Han’s shirt when he first entered the pavilion. Naturally, he treated Lin Han with good manners as he could not afford to offend disciples of the Lin clan.
In the Broken Sky City, the lineage of Lin Clan Sect Residence, Shen Clan Sect Residence, and the Governor’s Residence were three of the most powerful clans that had worked together since the beginning of time.
“Element Condensation Pill?”
Lin Han nodded because he had heard of this medicinal pill. It was said to have no side effects and could greatly assist a third tier Warrior to progress into a fourth tier Master.
“What is the price of this Element Condensation Pill?” Lin Han finally asked the most crucial question.
“Five hundred taels of gold,” replied the black-robed old man slowly.
