"Elder Zhou is right, but I believe that to become the Sect Leader, one must contribute to the Flying Spirit Sect and earn the respect and approval of all its members. Otherwise, no matter how strong one is, if they don’t act for the benefit of the Flying Spirit Sect or stand up for it, such a Sect Leader is pointless," Li Lin said with a raised arm, thinking to himself that if Huang Haibo and Zhou Yuhou were to become Sect Leaders, they would be even more difficult to deal with. Besides, he would have to stay in the Flying Spirit Sect for some time, which would likely make his life much harder.

"Junior Brother is right, we all agree," a common disciple shouted from within the hall, where Li Lin held a very high status in their hearts.

At the head of the hall, Zheng Ying glanced at Li Lin, her expression showing a hint of worry.

"Of course, I think Elder Huang should be the new Sect Leader. Does anyone disagree?" Zhou Yuhou asked, looking around at everyone.

Huang Haibo was smiling amiably at everyone. In the current state of the Flying Spirit Sect, there was no one more suitable than him. This had been discussed for quite some time.

The disciples in the hall watched Huang Haibo but remained silent, neither agreeing nor objecting.

"We all support him; Master is naturally the most suitable candidate," declared some of Huang Haibo's disciples, their voices echoing monotonously in the hall. It seemed that Elder Huang was not very popular among the people.

"Junior Brother, we can't let Elder Huang become the Sect Leader," Zhang Mingtao whispered to Li Lin.

Li Lin gave a wry smile, feeling helpless. The Sect Leader had to be chosen from among the three Elders, and it was not his turn, nor did he want Huang Haibo to become the Sect Leader, but he felt powerless to stop it.

"Junior Sister, you wouldn't disagree with Second Senior Brother becoming the Sect Leader, right?" Zhou Yuhou asked Zheng Ying, turning to her.

"I think Elder Zheng would also be good. Why not let Elder Zheng be the Sect Leader?" Li Lin said loudly.

"Junior Brother, Master is a woman, and according to the rules of the Flying Spirit Sect, a woman cannot be the Sect Leader," Fang Xinqi said to Li Lin.

"What kind of rule is that? It's clearly discriminatory against women," muttered Li Lin.

"Li Lin, you've just joined the Flying Spirit Sect and don't know our ancestral rules. Women cannot be Sect Leaders," Zhou Yuhou said indifferently, looking at Li Lin. He was quite dissatisfied with Li Lin, who had been stirring up trouble and spoiling his plans.

"Junior Brother is a close disciple of Master, and everyone has seen his strength. Even though he hasn't been in the Flying Spirit Sect for long, he has defended our sect and driven away the Rakshasa Sect. How about we elect Junior Brother as the Sect Leader?" someone suggested loudly, and it was Zhang Mingtao speaking.

"Whether others oppose Junior Brother as Sect Leader, I don't know, but I definitely agree," declared a loud, bald disciple.

"If Junior Brother becomes the Sect Leader, I have no objections. My life was saved by him," said another ordinary disciple loudly. This person was Sun Yuan, whom Li Lin had saved before. Grateful for his life being saved, Sun Yuan had tried to thank Li Lin several times but hadn't seen him. Today, he naturally supported him loudly.

"Support Junior Brother."

"I also support Junior Brother."

Hundreds of people shouted their support. Junior Brother had severely injured members of the Rakshasa Sect and had generously treated several ordinary disciples, naturally winning the support of all the common disciples at this moment.

At this moment, Huang Haibo and Zhou Yuhou's expressions changed, as they had thought they could take advantage of the situation to become the Sect Leader, but Li Lin had thwarted their plans.

"Cough..."

Huang Haibo coughed awkwardly, as he had not received any support just now, which was embarrassing. He glanced at Li Lin and said, "Everyone, quiet down. I want to ask Li Lin, if everyone elects you as Sect Leader, what do you think? You should know that becoming the Sect Leader means you have to be responsible for distributing the pills to everyone."

"Old fox, trying to make me back down," thought Li Lin, rolling his eyes. He was not interested in being the Sect Leader, but he didn't want Huang Haibo to become it either, especially since he had offended him again today. His future in the Flying Spirit Sect might become difficult.

"What's wrong with being the Sect Leader? I might as well be the Sect Leader for a few days," Li Lin thought resolutely, smiling slightly. "Elder Huang, are you saying that if I can provide the pills, I can be the Sect Leader of the Flying Spirit Sect?"

Watching Li Lin's smiling face, Huang Haibo suddenly felt uneasy. There were over a hundred disciples, and each one would need a first-grade and a second-grade Dan medicine, which together were worth about 300 gold coins. For over a hundred disciples, this would amount to nearly 40,000 gold coins. This sum was not small, and for a young boy like Li Lin to produce 40,000 gold coins seemed almost impossible, even for Huang himself, as it would require all of his wealth.

"Indeed, you are the one chosen by everyone. If you can provide them, naturally there won't be any problem," said Elder Zheng Ying, glancing at Li Lin, seemingly encouraging him to become the Sect Leader.

"Elder Huang, what do you think?" Li Lin asked, his expression unchanged.

"Well, since Elder Zheng has spoken, we naturally won't oppose," Huang Haibo said, also thinking that Li Lin couldn't possibly produce so many Dan medicines.

"Then it's settled. I won't decline the position of Sect Leader," Li Lin said with a slight smile, striding confidently to the head of the hall. He looked seriously at everyone and declared, "Thank you all for your trust in making me the Sect Leader. From now on, your affairs are the affairs of the Flying Spirit Sect, and the affairs of the Flying Spirit Sect are my affairs. If anyone dares to bully our sect, we will teach them a lesson, one by one, pair by pair. I will definitely seek more benefits for everyone, ensuring everyone has a good life."

"Support Junior Brother..." A wave of support echoed through the great hall.

"Li Lin, better produce the Dan medicines for everyone now," Zhou Yuhou said with a sinking expression, watching Li Lin.

"It's just Dan medicines," Li Lin said with a slight smile, pulling out a spatial bag. In the Misty Mountain Range, third-grade Dan medicines were rare, but first and second-grade were plentiful. More than a hundred were not a problem, and that was sufficient.

"Everyone, line up. There's enough for each person," Li Lin said, opening the spatial bag and taking out a pile of Dan medicines. He felt a bit of heartache, as this amounted to tens of thousands of gold coins. To become the Sect Leader, he had spent tens of thousands of gold coins, which was a huge price to pay.

Over a hundred disciples lined up and each received a second-grade and a first-grade Dan medicine. Seeing this, Huang Haibo and Zhou Yuhou's faces twitched. They had not expected Li Lin to produce hundreds of Dan medicines.

As the ordinary disciples received their Dan medicines, the ten or so personal disciples started to show changes in their expressions. Although they were personal disciples, their situation was not much better than the ordinary disciples.

"Senior Brother, this is for you," Li Lin said to Zhang Mingtao after distributing to all the ordinary disciples, handing him a high-tier second-grade Dan medicine. The ones he had given to the ordinary disciples were all low-tier second-grade, and the difference in price between high-tier and low-tier was significant.

Zhang Mingtao hadn't expected to receive one and gratefully accepted the Dan medicine. In his more than ten years at the Flying Spirit Sect, he had only consumed two Dan medicines.

"Fang Sister, this is for you," Li Lin said to Fang Xinqi, also handing her a high-tier second-grade Dan medicine.

"Thank you, Junior Brother," Fang Xinqi said happily, accepting the Dan medicine.

"Sisters, these are for you," Li Lin then handed two high-tier second-grade Dan medicines to two female disciples in long skirts, who were also disciples of Zheng Ying. Zheng Ying had only three disciples, with Fang Xinqi being the oldest.

"Thank you, Junior Brother," the two women said joyfully, accepting the Dan medicines.

After distributing to the two women, Li Lin approached a young male disciple and, after searching in the spatial bag, said with a hint of apology, "Sorry, that's all for now. I'll find a way to make it up to you in a few days."

"What..."

The remaining seven young disciples suddenly changed their expressions, clearly dissatisfied. Just when it was their turn, there were no more Dan medicines. This was an unfair situation.

Li Lin didn't care about these seven, four of whom were Zhou Yuhou's disciples, and three were Huang Haibo's. Li Lin actually still had Dan medicines but deliberately chose not to give any to these seven.

"Elders, now I should be the Sect Leader of the Flying Spirit Sect, right?" Li Lin asked, ignoring the expressions of the seven young disciples and turning to the three Elders.

Seeing that there were no Dan medicines left for their disciples, Huang Haibo and Zhou Yuhou's expressions darkened. This was a blow to their prestige, as Zheng Ying's disciples received Dan medicines, but theirs did not.

"Of course, but the Sect Leader's seal is missing, so we can't give you the Sect Leader's seal. However, from now on, you are the Sect Leader of our Flying Spirit Sect," Zheng Ying said.
