"Yunyang Sect wants to form an alliance with Flying Spirit Gate, which somewhat flatters Flying Spirit Gate. However, the details of this alliance can be discussed after the Sect Master has asked me to leave Yunyang Sect." Li Lin replied. Yunyang Sect wants to ally with Flying Spirit Gate, but Li Lin is no fool. According to the character of Yun Xiaotian, this old fox, he would never do something that doesn't benefit him. If he discusses the alliance now, with the Sect Master's identity pressing down, he would definitely be at a disadvantage. But once he leaves Yunyang Sect, it will be different. At worst, he would just be called Uncle Master. When the two sects form an alliance and discuss the details, he will not be at a loss.
"Smart lad." Yun Xiaotian looked at Li Lin, seemingly understanding his intentions at a glance, and said, "Yunyang Sect wants to form an alliance with your Flying Spirit Gate, and you are still worried that Yunyang Sect will take advantage of Flying Spirit Gate. Well, it's alright to discuss the details later."
"I dare not." Li Lin said lightly.
"Alright, the second condition, also to your advantage." Yun Xiaotian looked at Li Lin and said, "I plan to settle the marriage between you and Hongling first. You have no objections, right?"
"Ah..."
Li Lin was dumbfounded, this was another unexpected event.
"What, you are unwilling?" Yun Xiaotian looked at Yun Hongling.
"Of course not, I am willing. It's just that this is so sudden, I am a bit surprised." Li Lin chuckled. Being able to resolve this matter was indeed what he hoped for, to avoid future troubles.
"I know you won't only have Hongling. I also know about Wushuang and Jingwen. I won't make it difficult for you. Just treat Hongling well in the future. If you let her suffer any grievances, I won't let you off." Yun Xiaotian looked at Li Lin seriously.
"I will definitely not let Hongling suffer any grievances, thank you, Sect Master." Li Lin responded seriously, a bow he owed.
"First, get engaged. As for the wedding date, you can decide that yourselves. I will also send out the news of your engagement to the three sects and four gates in the next few days." Yun Xiaotian said, looking at Li Lin.
"Everything as the Sect Master arranges." Li Lin nodded, getting engaged first was not a problem.
"In places with many people, both of you should be careful, like inside the hall of the Tianjian Gate. It would not be good to be seen. Although young people are impulsive, there are times when restraint is necessary." Yun Xiaotian said, smiling but not smiling.
Li Lin's face immediately turned pale. Inside the hall of Tianjian Gate, Yun Xiaotian had actually sensed every move he and Yun Hongling made. This was embarrassing.
Li Lin, with his head lowered, had nothing to say but chuckled.
"Li Lin, since you agree to these two conditions, then I also agree to your three requests." Yun Xiaotian said, looking at Li Lin's embarrassed expression and smiled slightly.
"Thank you, Sect Master." Li Lin said.
"Li Lin, from now on, you are no longer a disciple of Yunyang Sect. But once a teacher, always a father. Elder Yu Yu is your master, so you are still half a disciple of Yunyang Sect. Now, with your relationship with Hongling, whether you are a disciple of Yunyang Sect or not doesn't really make a difference." Yun Xiaotian smiled.
Li Lin smiled slightly. Indeed, with his relationship with Yun Hongling, and Master Yu Yu being Yun Xiaotian's senior brother, he was still considered half a disciple of Yunyang Sect. However, in his heart, Li Lin did not think so. Without the label of Yunyang Sect, it would be somewhat easier for him to survive in the ancient domain.
"By the way, Li Lin, I forgot to tell you. I can give you the Millennium Red Copper, but it's not an ordinary item. It also depends on whether you have the fate to take it." Yun Xiaotian's gaze shifted, "The Millennium Red Copper is in our Yunyang Sect's Thousand Treasures Vault. If you can find it, then take it."
"What...?" Li Lin was once again taken aback. Yun Xiaotian was too cunning and deceitful. At this point, he still played this trick.

Yun Xiaotian seemed to have seen through Li Lin's thoughts and said, "Don't say I'm going back on my word. The Thousand Treasures Vault contains extraordinary treasures collected by the Yunyang Sect's ancestors. Any item taken out would cause a sensation. Allowing you into the Thousand Treasures Vault, you can choose three treasures to leave. If you can find the Millennium Red Copper and take it away, then it's your fate with it. If you can't take the Millennium Red Copper, then you can only blame yourself. What I can guarantee is that the Millennium Red Copper is in the Thousand Treasures Vault."
"Old fox, you really have no shame." Li Lin cursed inwardly. He had no other choice. Yunyang Sect obviously did not want to give him the Millennium Red Copper and did not want to break their promise, so they came up with this cunning plan.
The Thousand Treasures Vault, the absolute secret place of Yunyang Sect, even direct disciples, even the Law Protectors, could not enter without permission. All the direct disciples had only heard of it. The treasures in the Thousand Treasures Vault, collected by Yunyang Sect over the years, had to be of extraordinary quality and level to be included.
At this moment, Li Lin arrived at the entrance of Yunyang Sect's Thousand Treasures Vault.
The Thousand Treasures Vault was located behind the main hall on the peak of Yunyang Sect. On this vast peak, Li Lin did not know there was a sheer cliff here.
Behind the main hall of the peak, from the waist of the peak, passing through the cliff, there was a small peak extending directly out. The area was not large, about three to four hundred meters in size. On the peak, there were odd-shaped rocks and lush greenery, surrounded by many vines, with many wildflowers blooming in the middle.
Around the peak, mist lingered, like a fairyland. Looking down from the peak, a stretch of mountains extended, shrouded in mist, which was refreshing to see.
On this small peak, there was a cave, not small, with a thick stone door about two meters high and four meters wide, exuding an ancient aura. The stone door was already open, with a hint of darkness inside.
"Li Lin, go in. Remember, you can only take out three treasures. I will follow behind you, don't think about taking more." Yun Xiaotian said to Li Lin, clearly guarding Li Lin as if he were a thief. With his understanding of Li Lin, this lad must be guarded against.
Li Lin frowned slightly but had no choice but to go in and look around, hoping to find the Millennium Red Copper. But Uncle Jiang did not say what it looked like, even if it was in front of him, he would not recognize it.
With no choice, Li Lin could only enter the Thousand Treasures Vault. As soon as he entered the cave, Li Lin was immediately dumbfounded. The cave was much larger than he had imagined. This was not just a Thousand Treasures Vault; calling it a Ten Thousand Treasures Vault would also be appropriate.
The cave was like a large hall, with an area of over two hundred meters. The stone walls inside were smooth, seemingly polished, and there were several long rectangular cabinets made of jade, emitting a soft green-blue fluorescent light.
"My goodness, this is Wuling Fat, Luoshi Vine, and Suxin Flower." Looking at everything in front of him, Li Lin was astonished. The first thing he saw was a row of medicinal materials, definitely not ordinary ones. These were extremely rare materials used to refine high-grade pills, such as Wuling Fat, Luoshi Vine, and Suxin Flower, which could be used to refine seventh-grade pills. If these were taken outside, they would definitely cause an absolute sensation.
"This is Cold Water Stone and Mica Bright Moon Sand." Li Lin immediately picked up two arm-thick objects, one pure white and one emitting a yellow-white glow, recognized by the Heavenly Record. Li Lin's eyes were not ordinary, and he recognized these two items at a glance: Cold Water Stone and Mica Bright Moon Sand.
These two items were also excellent materials for refining weapons. In weapon refining, the materials determine the type of weapon. Just like medicinal materials, certain materials are needed to refine certain pills. The previously mentioned Wuling Fat, Luoshi Vine, and Suxin Flower could be used to refine seventh-grade pills, and their value was astonishing.
And the Cold Water Stone and Mica Bright Moon Sand, if compared to medicinal materials, would be equivalent to materials that could refine seventh-grade high-level pills.
"I didn't expect you to have some insight, even recognizing Cold Water Stone and Mica Bright Moon Sand." Seeing Li Lin's astonished expression, Yun Xiaotian was slightly surprised. Generally speaking, it was understandable for spirit practitioners to recognize medicinal materials and refining materials. Spirit practitioners usually deal with medicinal materials and refining materials every day. But Li Lin being able to recognize them at a glance naturally surprised Yun Xiaotian.
"Fine Steel Crystal Stone." Li Lin was again surprised, picking up a palm-sized blue crystal stone. This blue crystal stone was crystal clear, and its quality was not inferior to Cold Water Stone and Mica Bright Moon Sand.
"You recognize this too." Yun Xiaotian frowned slightly, surprised that Li Lin recognized all these refining materials. Yun Xiaotian had a bad feeling. Initially, allowing Li Lin into the Thousand Treasures Vault was because Li Lin was a martial artist, supposedly unfamiliar with refining materials. Finding the Millennium Red Copper would be almost impossible. But seeing Li Lin's reaction, Yun Xiaotian was genuinely afraid Li Lin would find it.
"This spear seems to be no ordinary item." On the second row of jade cabinets, Li Lin picked up a pure white spear. Holding it in his hand, this two-meter-long spear weighed about two hundred pounds, immediately feeling heavy. The spear's body emitted faint flowing light, revealing many secret patterns. The spear tip shone with a cold light, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.
