Just like in the Lingwu Continent, if a power from the ancient domain were to come to the Lingwu Continent, the Three Sects and Four Gates would show no mercy.
Therefore, Li Lin dared not affiliate Flying Spirit Gate with the Yunyang Sect, as that would be equivalent to drawing a death warrant for Flying Spirit Gate. At the same time, Li Lin was also worried that if he were a disciple of Yunyang Sect, and Flying Spirit Gate developed in the future, Yunyang Sect might intervene, which would be disadvantageous to him. He feared that everyone would then think that Flying Spirit Gate was originally part of Yunyang Sect.
At this moment, Yun Xiao Tian was also deep in thought. With his sharp insight, he could guess what Li Lin was thinking. He was somewhat surprised by Li Lin's scheming, which seemed to be higher than he had originally thought.
It was only at this moment that he confirmed that Li Lin could no longer become the fierce tiger of Yunyang Sect, but instead, he was a rebellious dragon.
Although he had anticipated this day would come, he was still surprised when Li Lin brought it up so soon. He had thought that the third matter Li Lin would discuss with him was about Hong Ling, and he had been ready to give Li Lin a hard time. Unexpectedly, Li Lin did not mention it at all, which somewhat disappointed him. According to what he had seen recently, his daughter was determined to marry only Li Lin, which was a tricky situation.
Yun Xiao Tian was pondering, unaware of what Li Lin was thinking. Li Lin had indeed considered discussing Hong Ling among the three matters with Yun Xiao Tian, as it was better for a man to speak up about such things.
However, upon further thought, Li Lin decided that there was no need to rush things with Hong Ling. Seeing that Yun Xiao Tian seemed not to oppose, Li Lin could not afford to waste one of the conditions Yun Xiao Tian agreed to on this matter. Even if he and Hong Ling were to face opposition from Yun Xiao Tian later, Li Lin thought they could just present a fait accompli, heh, and then Yun Xiao Tian would have no choice but to agree.
"Your three conditions are difficult for me. How about this, come back in three days, and I will give you an answer," Yun Xiao Tian said after hesitating for a while.
"Then, the disciple will wait for the Sect Master's good news," Li Lin said lightly, feeling extremely anxious inside. Of the three matters, what Li Lin valued the most was the first one. If he could not obtain the ten-thousand-year-old Red Copper, it would be even harder for him to find another way.
After leaving the courtyard, Li Lin rode the Sky Wing Snow Lion back to his own courtyard. With three days to wait for Yun Xiao Tian's response, the chance of obtaining the ten-thousand-year-old Red Copper seemed slim.
"What's wrong? You seem to be in a bad mood," said Bai Ling, who had transformed into a peerless beauty, captivating anyone at first glance.
However, Li Lin was preoccupied with the matter of the ten-thousand-year-old Red Copper, so he was not as mesmerized by her beauty as before.
"I'm just worried about some things whose outcomes I don't know yet," Li Lin said lightly. "If everything goes smoothly in three days, we can leave here, and you won't have to hide anymore."
"Mm, but I want to break through to the seventh rank sooner, so I can truly have a human body. I still prefer the human body more," Bai Ling said lightly.
Looking at Bai Ling's beautiful face and seductive eyes, Li Lin sighed inwardly. If Bai Ling truly obtained a human body, he wondered how many people would be mesmerized by her.
The next day, at the foot of Yunyang Sect's mountain, a small tavern was filled with several figures, the fragrance of wine overflowing, and shouts echoed out.
Outside the tavern, disciples who had heard the news filled the streets, three layers inside and three layers outside.
"Did you see that? Let me see."
"I saw it, it's Li Lin, he's drinking with Zhan Dao Qu Dao Jue, Fei Ying Ling Feng, and Ba Dao Long San."

"Hong Ling Miss and Li WuShuang Sister are also there."
"I heard that in this Three Sects and Four Gates conference, Li Lin won the championship."
"Not just that, Li Lin revealed his identity as a full-spectrum warrior, advancing powerfully and, with the strength of a first-tier Martial General, directly defeated a first-tier Martial Commander, causing an uproar in Tian Jian City."
"Now Li Lin is famous, a five-spectrum warrior, and he has brought honor to our Yunyang Sect. We will have more face when we go out in the future."
"If only I were him."
"Give it up, if you had one-tenth of Li Lin's strength, you could become a direct disciple. Dreaming of becoming Li Lin, you wouldn't have a chance even in your next life. He is a full-spectrum warrior."
"Look, how come Peng Chuan Xiong, Yue Bu Qun, Lai Yue Jing, and Yang Wei are also sitting and drinking with Li Lin, Qu Dao Jue, Ling Feng? Their strength is so poor, why?"
"Why? They were brothers with Li Lin in the 806 courtyard before, close friends. I heard Li Lin gave them a lot of martial techniques. We better not provoke these four in the future. If we offend Li Lin, we're finished."
"These four guys are really lucky, being able to drink with Li Lin, Zhan Dao Qu Dao Jue, Fei Ying Ling Feng, Ba Dao Long San, and other super strong figures on the Dragon List."
As the discussions went on, the tavern only returned to calm a few hours later. Since hosting these Dragon List super strong figures last time, the tavern's business had been booming. After the Dragon List disciples left this time, it was immediately filled with people.
When Li Lin returned to his courtyard in the evening, a day had passed. He sat cross-legged, beginning to cultivate. Meanwhile, he also stuffed a fourth-stage mid-phase demon pill into his mouth.
The fourth-stage late-phase demon pills had been completely consumed during the use of the mutated Vermilion Bird Art. Now, he didn't have many demon pills left on him. Li Lin planned to refine all these demon pills before thinking of ways to breakthrough.
Li Lin knew well that his strength would increase faster in the ancient domain. In the chaotic situation of the ancient domain, it would be easier for him to devour Martial Generals and Spiritual Generals, directly absorbing True Qi and spiritual power, which undoubtedly would speed up his strength growth the fastest.
Moments later, Li Lin was enveloped in a faint yellow glow, his strength slowly strengthening.
Under the night sky, the Yunyang mountain range was shrouded in a hazy starlight, with a cool breeze blowing gently.
On a mountain peak, within a courtyard, several figures sat with gloomy auras, each with a somber face. Among them were Zhao Wuji, Zhao Qinghai, Zhao Qingtian, Li Shaohu, and the three protectors Shi Yunsheng.
"I can't believe that bastard is a full-spectrum warrior. It's impossible. How could he be a full-spectrum warrior?" Li Shaohu kept shaking his head in disbelief, his expression lost.
"Li Lin is too lucky, hiding so deeply. We were all deceived. If it weren't for this Three Sects and Four Gates conference, we wouldn't have known he was a full-spectrum warrior, capable of defeating a first-tier Martial Commander," Zhao Qinghai seemed to still not have recovered from his shock.
"Master, Li Lin has unknowingly grown wings now. It will be even harder for us to deal with him in the future," Shi Yunsheng said to Zhao Wuji.
"The wings are just formed, not yet hard. We must act before his wings harden, or it will truly become impossible to take action," Zhao Wuji said grimly.
"Grandfather, Li Lin's strength is too strong now. It might not be easy to take action, especially with that beast, whose strength is not weak," Zhao Qingtian said.
"No matter how strong, he is just a first-tier Martial General. Even if he can defeat a first-tier Martial Commander, so what?" Zhao Wuji said coldly. "Yunsheng, you're going out tomorrow, right?"
"Disciple is going to collect this year's tribute from several cities tomorrow," Shi Yunsheng said.
"That's good. With your strength, you should be able to kill that kid, right?" Zhao Wuji said.
"Master means... but Li Lin is now a five-spectrum warrior of the sect. If something happens to him at our hands, it won't be easy to explain to the sect," Shi Yunsheng hesitated.
"What about the sect? We won't act within the sect. Have you forgotten? It has been three years since the last batch of new disciples entered Yunyang Sect. In a few days, it will be time for them to visit their families. Li Lin will definitely go back, right?" Zhao Wuji sneered.
"Master means to kill him on the way?" Shi Yunsheng said.
"Exactly. This time we must kill him thoroughly, not giving the kid any chance to grow," Zhao Wuji said. "To make it inconspicuous, Yunsheng, after you leave tomorrow, wait for the kid on the inevitable route from the Wu Du Mountain Range back to Qing Yun Town. Then, kill him directly, unnoticed. Even if someone suspects, without evidence, no one dares to do anything."
"Yes, Master," Shi Yunsheng said.
"Grandfather, I'll go too. I must kill that kid with my own hands," Zhao Qingtian said.
"Qingtian, your strength is now insufficient to deal with Li Lin. However, to be safe, you two brothers will accompany Shaohu back to the Li family this time. Visit your aunt, and no one will suspect anything. I have arrangements. If there's a chance, cooperate with our Zhao family members. We must get the treasure in the Li family's hands," Zhao Wuji said.
"Grandfather, are you also planning to take action this time?" Li Shaohu asked.
"We'll see. If possible, I can only take action. The treasure of the Li family is extraordinary. We must act quickly," Zhao Wuji said.
