Inside the great hall, there were already quite a few disciples present. When Li Lin entered, no one gave him a second glance. Everyone was placing their hands on a jade slip, closing their eyes to peer into the slip they held.

Li Lin looked around and eventually made his way to the Earth attribute area. He saw numerous squares marked with the levels of martial arts cultivation: Martial Disciple, Martial Warrior, Martial Master, Martial Spirit, Martial General, and Martial Commander. However, there were no squares for levels above Martial King; the highest was only Martial Commander.

Within each square, there were neatly arranged jade slips. Glancing over them, he saw they were marked with various martial arts techniques and insights into cultivation. There were also notes on what to pay attention to at different levels of cultivation. The jade slips were numerous and countless.

"Condensation Pill preparation." In the huge square for Martial Masters, Li Lin found a jade slip in the last corner. Next to it was a label. Li Lin picked up the slip, closed his eyes slightly, and delved his mind into it. A vast amount of information quickly appeared in his mind.

After a moment, Li Lin slowly opened his eyes. This jade slip indeed contained information on the preparation for martial artists to condense their pills. From this, Li Lin frowned slightly; it seemed that breaking through to Martial Spirit for a martial artist of all attributes was even harder than he had imagined.

According to the information from the jade slip, the chance of a martial artist emerging from ordinary people is one in a hundred. Among a hundred martial artists, one who can successfully break through to condense their Martial Pill is considered good. For dual-attribute martial artists, one in ten thousand martial artists is already not easy. As for triple-attribute martial artists, one in a million is a miracle. Quad-attribute martial artists are even rarer, one in ten million, while martial artists of all attributes only exist in legends.

The chance for dual-attribute martial artists to condense their Martial Pill is twice as difficult compared to single-attribute martial artists. Even with good talent, it's normal for a few out of a hundred dual-attribute martial artists to fail to condense their Martial Pill. Triple-attribute martial artists face even greater difficulty.

The most challenging part of condensing the Martial Pill is that it will invoke the power of the earth's attributes to gather in the body. Often, some martial artists cannot withstand the massive energy of the earth's attributes when condensing their Martial Pill and will explode and die. Among dual-attribute martial artists, this situation is most common because they have to withstand the energy of two attributes in their bodies. Those with slightly weaker bodies will immediately explode and die.

For triple-attribute martial artists, it's even more challenging. If they cannot withstand the convergence of three attributes in their body, the outcome is almost certain death.

"Five attributes, five Martial Pills." Li Lin murmured. To break through, he must withstand the energy of all attributes. If he cannot resist, he will be annihilated by the attribute energy.

"Uncle Jiang, it's up to you now." Li Lin murmured. When he left the Li family, Uncle Jiang gave him a 'Du E Wu Xin Pill' and instructed him to take it before breaking through to Martial Spirit, to have a chance of successfully condensing the Martial Pill.

Before this, he must first break through to Spiritual Spirit. Breaking through to Spiritual Spirit first would somewhat help when breaking through to Martial Spirit.

Thinking of the consequences of failing to break through, Li Lin couldn't help but take a deep breath. Failure meant certain death, with no way back.

However, Li Lin was also somewhat expectant. Every coin has two sides. If he successfully breaks through, his strength would leap qualitatively.

Dual-attribute martial artists are eagerly recruited by all major sects. For triple-attribute martial artists, it's even more so. All of this depends on reaching the Martial Spirit level, where dual-attribute martial artists will be far more powerful than single-attribute martial artists.

Single-attribute martial artists only condense one Martial Pill, while dual-attribute martial artists condense two. After condensing the Martial Pills, the cultivation speed will be much faster, and the Martial Pills can store terrifying amounts of Qi. Having two Martial Pills means at least double the amount of Qi compared to single-attribute martial artists. In combat, having double the Qi is a clear advantage.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Li Lin thought that his own Qi Sea was already much larger than that of ordinary martial artists. Once he successfully condenses five Martial Pills, the amount of Qi he could store would be astonishingly high. Just the thought made Li Lin quite excited. However, all this depended on successfully breaking through. If he failed, he would be reduced to ashes.

Putting down the jade slip in his hand, Li Lin carefully browsed through many other slips in the Wanwu Tower, including those for Fire, Water, Wind, and Wood attributes, not missing any that might be suitable.

In terms of cultivation, Li Lin knew that apart from the guidance he received from Uncle Jiang while at the Li family, he had been self-taught after leaving. His self-exploration was never as fast as the countless years of experience and heritage of the Yunyang Sect.

At this moment, Li Lin was like a fish swimming in the ocean, taking whatever he needed.

Many direct disciples around him were curious about Li Lin. They knew he was a triple-attribute martial artist, but Li Lin was browsing through jade slips for all five attributes, even those not related to his own attributes, which wouldn't be much benefit to him.

"Are you Li Lin?" While Li Lin was browsing through the Fire attribute jade slips, a voice came to his ears, accompanied by a faint breath that carried a suppressive aura.

Li Lin looked up, feeling the suppressive aura from the newcomer. The person wore a clean white robe, appeared to be in his early twenties, with well-defined features, giving off a comfortable and distinguished presence.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Li Lin asked calmly, though he was surprised inside. He couldn't determine the newcomer's level from his aura, but without a doubt, the person was at least a Martial General.

"I've heard of you. A ninth-level Martial Master defeating a fourth-level Martial Spirit, Huang Hu. You're strong, and I've heard you're also arrogant. But I like that. With strength, why not be a bit arrogant? I'm also very arrogant." The youth in white looked at Li Lin, then said, "My name is Qu DaoJue, a disciple of Elder Yang, currently third on the Dragon List. When you're ready to fight me, I'll challenge you."

"Third on the Dragon List." Li Lin sighed internally. Such a young Martial General with terrifying talent and strength deserved his attention.

Even Li Lin, who was usually proud and self-confident, had to take this young man seriously.

"I'll certainly accept your challenge when the time comes." Looking at Qu DaoJue, Li Lin felt a surge of fighting spirit. This person could definitely become a worthy opponent.

"You have the will to fight. I like that. I'll wait for you. Don't disappoint me." Qu DaoJue looked at Li Lin, smiled faintly, and left without any further fluctuations in his aura.

"Ha, that's Qu DaoJue, the madman. What's he doing in Wanwu Tower?"

"Nonsense, if he's not in Wanwu Tower, he's in the Martial Spirit Fantasy Realm. Other than these two places, where else could he go? That cultivation fanatic, I didn't expect he would want to challenge Li Lin."

"This will be interesting. Qu DaoJue, that cultivation fanatic, in the entire Yunyang Sect, only two people can handle him."

Whispers surrounded Li Lin, causing him to frown slightly. It seemed Qu DaoJue had quite a reputation.

Time passed slowly, and when Li Lin left Wanwu Tower, it was already dusk.

He called for his Tian Chi Snow Lion and returned to his mountain peak. Just as he dismounted, he noticed a protector waiting for him.

"Greetings, Protector." Li Lin frowned slightly. This protector was one of the three responsible for the Earth Dragon Peak, and he wondered what matter brought him here.

"Li Lin, early this morning, Li DaJiang, ranked twentieth on the Dragon List, officially challenged you. The duel is scheduled for the beginning of next month on the Earth Dragon Peak. He is a seventh-level Martial Spirit, a dual-attribute martial artist of Earth and Fire, a disciple of Elder Zhao," the protector told Li Lin.

"Can I refuse?" Li Lin frowned. A disciple of Zhao WuJi, probably seeking revenge for Huang Hu from yesterday. A seventh-level Martial Spirit, dual-attribute martial artist, seemed to be quite a challenge for him now.

"According to the sect's rules, direct challenges cannot be refused. However, since his strength level is above yours, you can refuse the challenge, or if you're in seclusion, it can be postponed," the protector explained.

Li Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "I plan to enter seclusion at the beginning of next month. We can postpone it then."

"Li Lin, according to the sect's rules, you can outright refuse since he's starting from the twentieth rank on the Dragon List," the protector hesitated before softly saying to Li Lin.

"Thank you for your kindness, Protector, but it's not necessary. I accept the challenge. It's just that next month, I will be in seclusion, so we can postpone it," Li Lin said. A disciple of Zhao WuJi coming to him was an opportunity he couldn't miss. Although it might be difficult to compete with him now, once he breaks through to the Martial Spirit level, he would have a chance. According to the rules of Yunyang Sect, it can be postponed for up to half a year. In half a year, he should be able to break through to Martial Spirit.

"Alright then." Watching Li Lin, the protector sighed softly, then took one more complex look at Li Lin before leaving.
