"So it really is like this, it succeeded." Filled with great joy in his heart, although Li Lin did not know why the blood of the little dragon was needed to activate the Four Divine Techniques, he was extremely happy at this moment. He then closed his eyes and once again injected a stream of soul force into the jade slip.
On the ancient green jade slip, at this moment, a dazzling light instantly injected into Li Lin's brow, and then transformed into a huge influx of information entering Li Lin's mind.
"Roar..."
The entire room was enveloped in a blinding light. Within the light, faintly, there were several beast-shaped entities galloping and roaring, all appearing mystical and extraordinary. After a moment, the light receded, and the room returned to normal.
A long while later, when Li Lin opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with surprise and joy. The information transmitted from this jade slip was the Xuanwu Technique.
The Four Divine Techniques consist of the Qinglong Technique, Baihu Technique, Xuanwu Technique, and Zhuque Technique. The jade slip he had just obtained was the third technique, the Xuanwu Technique.
In the Zhuque Technique, Li Lin had already learned that gathering two techniques could be equivalent to a high-level Xuan-tier martial skill, even more powerful than a high-level Xuan-tier martial skill.
Just like the Zhuque Technique, although it is equivalent to a high-level Huang-tier martial skill, its power is incomparable to ordinary high-level Huang-tier martial skills. Especially the mutated Zhuque Technique, even the initial-stage Xuan-tier martial skills cannot compare.
If one could gather all four Divine Techniques, it would be comparable to a Tian-tier martial skill. How powerful a Tian-tier martial skill could be, Li Lin did not yet know, but the power of Xuan-tier martial skills was already incredible, and the power of Tian-tier martial skills, Li Lin could imagine, must be terrifying.
At this moment, obtaining the Xuanwu Technique ignited a thought in Li Lin's heart. Perhaps he really could one day obtain all four Divine Techniques. At least for now, he had already obtained the Zhuque Technique and Xuanwu Technique.
"Boss, what did you just get?" While Li Lin was in surprise, the voice of the little dragon came again, with a hint of confusion in its small eyes.
"I obtained a set of mysterious objects, considered martial skills, but strangely, they require your blood to be activated," Li Lin explained to the little dragon and then asked Bai Ling, "Bai Ling, do you know of any martial skills that need to be activated with the blood of monsters or spirit beasts?"
Bai Ling shook her head and said, "I don't know, what you just obtained seems very mysterious."
After thinking for a bit, Li Lin felt there was nothing he could do about not knowing. As long as he could successfully cultivate it, cultivating the Xuanwu Technique and integrating it with the Zhuque Technique would be equivalent to a high-level Xuan-tier martial skill, increasing his trump card once again.
The next day, within the main hall of the Yunyang Sect's summit, Du Qingyun and Liu Xin, the disciples of Yun Xiao Tian, on the orders of their master Yun Xiao Tian, gathered all the elders and protectors of the Yunyang Sect, including the outer sect elders.
After a moment, in the main hall of the summit, the elders and protectors were seated. Although there were not many elders and protectors, adding up to only forty or fifty people, there were over a hundred outer sect elders alone.
"The sect master seems to have something important to announce today," said Elder Xie, looking around with some confusion. It was rare for the Yunyang Sect to have such a grand occasion.
"Looking at this situation, it seems that the sect master has a major announcement to make," said Elder Yang softly.
"What does the sect master brother want to do? Could it be that something big has happened to our Yunyang Sect?" Yu Yu sat in the most prominent elder's seat, with a puzzled expression on his face, with Li Lin standing behind him.

Li Lin smiled slightly in his heart. He had also been notified to enter the hall, wondering if Yun Xiao Tian was going to announce to all the elders that he was leaving the Yunyang Sect.
Leaving the Yunyang Sect was somewhat unexpected for Li Lin. In ordinary sects, it wouldn't be an easy matter. The sect might expel you without discussion, but if you wanted to leave on your own, that would be difficult, especially for a sect as large as the Yunyang Sect.
But Yun Xiao Tian didn't say much about Li Lin leaving the sect, which made Li Lin somewhat puzzled. He had thought it would be difficult, especially since he had revealed himself as a practitioner of all martial arts styles, which ordinary sects would not easily let go of.
"Greetings to the sect master."
As the discussions continued, two figures walked out, Yun Xiao Tian and Yun Hong Ling.
Li Lin looked over, Yun Xiao Tian was still in a light green robe, his eyes clear and bright, with a hint of depth, black hair draped over his shoulders, giving off a wild and unrestrained appearance.
Li Lin remembered clearly, during the meeting of the three sects and four gates, when Yun Xiao Tian made his move, his power tore through space, showing the strength of a true powerhouse. Now, Yun Xiao Tian's aura was restrained, smiling, but invisibly, he also exuded a domineering presence that shook the world.
Touching his nose, Li Lin knew very well that his father-in-law was not to be trifled with, cunning and powerful, with the backing of a colossal force like the Yunyang Sect, undoubtedly one of the most difficult people to provoke.
"Did this girl dress up specially?" Then, as Li Lin's gaze shifted to Yun Hong Ling beside him, he was somewhat taken aback. Wearing a green long dress, with floral stripes on the long sleeves, her hair tied high, revealing her temples, her eyes as bright as stars, her skin soft and smooth like warm jade, her lips naturally red and luscious, with a hint of blush, she appeared to have dressed up specially.
"Everyone, please be at ease." Yun Xiao Tian spoke, already seated at the head of the hall, with Yun Hong Ling gently leaning against her father, looking much more gentle and less petulant than usual.
After everyone was seated again, they looked at Yun Xiao Tian with curiosity, waiting for him to announce the major event.
"Sect master brother, by gathering everyone here, are you going to announce something big?" Yu Yu asked Yun Xiao Tian.
Looking at the protectors and elders in the hall, Yun Xiao Tian's gaze finally rested on Li Lin for a moment before retracting and lightly saying, "Today, I have gathered the elders and protectors here mainly for two matters."
After a pause, Yun Xiao Tian said, "First, from now on, Li Lin is no longer a disciple of Yunyang Sect. From now on, he has nothing to do with Yunyang Sect."
"What..."
As soon as Yun Xiao Tian's words fell, all the elders, protectors, and outer sect elders were almost shocked enough to jump up. No one expected that the sect master would expel Li Lin from the sect. Li Lin was a practitioner of all martial arts styles, and expelling him from the Yunyang Sect was puzzling.
Zhao Wuji's expression also changed, then a cold smile appeared on his face.
However, two people in the hall were not surprised at all, the great protector and Yun Hong Ling.
"Sect master brother, what do you mean by this?" Yu Yu was furious, not caring about the sect master's title, slamming his seat and jumping up. He was truly angered by the expulsion of his precious disciple from the sect.
"Brother, calm down," Yun Xiao Tian smiled slightly, seemingly expecting his brother's reaction and not surprised at all.
"Then you must give me an explanation today. My disciple has just made great contributions to Yunyang Sect and even won twenty-four sets of high-level Xuan-tier martial skills for you, and now you want to expel him from the sect. This is too disheartening," Yu Yu said indignantly.
Yun Xiao Tian gave a helpless bitter smile, thinking to himself that Yu Yu's precious disciple did indeed make great contributions to Yunyang Sect, but he had also taken away one of Yunyang Sect's treasures yesterday. However, Yun Xiao Tian naturally did not say this aloud.
"Sect master, shouldn't this matter be reconsidered?" one elder said with a slightly stern face, another powerful martial king elder, giving off an extremely formidable aura.
"Sect master, please reconsider," said Elder Xie, Elder Yang, Elder Song, and others.
Zhao Wuji remained silent, secretly pleased but also puzzled. Normally, a practitioner of all martial arts styles would be heavily nurtured by the sect master, not expelled.
The hall was filled with discussions and confusion among the protectors and outer sect elders, all looking at Li Lin.
"Everyone, this matter has been decided and does not need further consideration," Yun Xiao Tian said, then continued, "The second matter, my daughter Hong Ling and Li Lin are officially engaged."
As these words fell, Yun Hong Ling glanced at Li Lin, not far behind Yu Yu, her head lowered even more, her cheeks blushing.
"What." The shock from before had not subsided, and everyone was surprised again. However, this surprise was among the outer sect elders, while the elders and protectors had already heard some rumors. Although it was unexpected, they were not surprised. Everyone was puzzled about what the sect master was planning. Li Lin was expelled from Yunyang Sect and then became the sect's son-in-law, the reasons behind this were probably unknown to many.
"Brother, although Li Lin is no longer a disciple of Yunyang Sect, he is still your disciple, and you won't lose this disciple," Yun Xiao Tian said to Yu Yu again.
