"Moreover, regarding the Li family's Hidden Martial Hall, from now on, Lin'er can freely enter. This child has reached his current state without our assistance, so we should not interfere in his affairs. However, during this period, we must ensure his safety until he enters Yunyang Sect. Given his strength, it's estimated that entering Yunyang Sect won't be a problem. Even if his strength is insufficient, as a tri-system martial artist, Yunyang Sect would eagerly accept him. Once in Yunyang Sect, Lin'er will be safe," said the deep and old voice from within the stone chamber.

"Father, I understand. I will arrange it right away," Li Dong responded.

"By the way, does the third know?" the old voice from the stone chamber asked.

"She knows. I've just spoken with her. These years, she has always been in seclusion and never came out," Li Dong replied.

"That child, it's really hard on him," sighed the voice softly from the stone chamber, followed by silence.

The next morning, Li Lin slowly opened his eyes, with a sharp glint in his eyes that lingered for a long time. The aura around him completely retracted, and he fully recovered. With the help of the Yin Yang Spirit Martial Technique and the Gui Zhen Dan, his injuries had completely healed overnight.

"This Gui Zhen Dan is really good," Li Lin thought to himself, knowing that without the Gui Zhen Dan, his injuries could not have recovered so quickly.

After getting ready, Li Lin left his room and went to the small hall, where Li Wushuang, Li Xiaobai, and Madame Luo Lan were already present.

"Lin'er, how are your injuries?" Li Wushuang was the first to see Li Lin and asked.

"They've healed," Li Lin replied, indicating his injuries were completely healed.

"That was quick," Li Wushuang was surprised, having seen the extent of Li Lin's injuries the day before. Although they were not too severe, they were not minor either, making the speed of his recovery quite unexpected.

"Young master, to think you are a tri-system martial artist, that's really great." Li Xiaobai was overjoyed, seeing a bright future following the young master.

"Lin'er, your uncle has suggested we move to the front courtyard. What do you think?" Madame Luo Lan asked.

"Move to the front courtyard? Why?" Li Lin's expression changed slightly, as he was quite content living in the backyard.

"Lin'er, the clan has discussed and agreed to acknowledge your ancestry and let you move to the front courtyard," Li Wushuang explained.

"Agreed to acknowledge my ancestry," Li Lin scoffed, "Am I supposed to be grateful for that? I owe nothing to the Li family and have no interest in them."

"Lin'er, but..." Li Wushuang frowned, seemingly having anticipated this response.

"Wushuang sister, you don't have to say more. If I weren't a tri-system martial artist, would the Li family act this way? I'm not interested in the Li family. I'm going out for a bit and will be back later." Li Lin then left the courtyard.

"This child..." Madame Luo Lan sighed.

"People of the Li family really think others are fools, huh? Acknowledging ancestry, I'm not one of the Li family," Li Lin thought to himself as he walked, not paying much attention, as he had no interest in the Li family.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

Leaving the Li family, Li Lin headed towards Tianbao Gate, carrying fifty Ganzhen Dan, two thousand gold coins, a Yuan Boosting Pill, and the Qi Boosting Pill he received yesterday, intending to sell them to repay his debts.

"Tri-system martial artist, I didn't expect a tri-system martial artist to appear," Du Gu Binglan said in surprise in a small hall within Tianbao Gate.

"Miss, Li Lin must have been hiding for a long time without the Li family noticing. It seems Li Lin is a martial artist, not a spiritualist," Wu Zhi Shi said.

"But behind Li Lin, there must be a spiritualist. Being a tri-system martial artist himself, it looks like he will also compete for a spot in Yunyang Sect in Qingyun Town," Maid Cuiyu pondered for a moment, then softly said.

"What should we do?" Du Gu Binglan seemed to be asking for Maid Cuiyu's opinion.

"Wu Zhi Shi, arrange for the miss to participate in the Yunyang Sect's spot competition as well. It would be good for her to visit Yunyang Sect," Maid Xiaoyu said.

"Yes, I will arrange it," Wu Zhi Shi replied.

"Miss, Wu Zhi Shi, Li Lin is here," a Tianbao Gate man said from outside.

"Please invite Young Master Li in," Du Gu Binglan and Maid Cuiyu looked at each other, then said.

Li Lin slowly arrived at Tianbao Gate, which was still bustling with business on the second day of the New Year, with many people selecting items at the counter.

"Young Master Li, our miss invites you," a Tianbao Gate man led Li Lin to the luxuriously decorated small hall on the second floor.

"Miss Du Gu, Wu Zhi Shi," Li Lin saw Miss Du Gu and Wu Zhi Shi immediately, along with Maid Cuiyu.

"Young Master Li is early. Please have a seat, and congratulations," Du Gu Binglan smiled.

"Congratulations for what? I still owe you a huge debt," Li Lin smiled and then sat down.

"Now the whole Qingyun Town knows, Young Master Li is a tri-system martial artist. Isn't that worth congratulating?" Wu Zhi Shi said.

"Heh, just luck," Li Lin replied lightly, seeing that Tianbao Gate was well-informed. He then took out the fifty Ganzhen Dan, a Yuan Boosting Pill, a Qi Boosting Pill, and the crystal card; "Let's repay the debt first. Please, Wu Zhi Shi, I need another hundred of the first batch of herbs I took and ten of the last batch."

"No problem," Wu Zhi Shi said, then, noticing the Yuan Boosting Pill Li Lin took out, his expression turned surprised. After examining it closely, he said, "Young Master Li, is this a Yuan Boosting Pill?"

"Yes, it is," Li Lin confirmed.

"Young Master Li's pills are all of high quality. Although the Yuan Boosting Pill is a second-grade pill, its level is close to that of a third-grade pill. Its effect on enhancing Qi is much better than the Qi Boosting Pill, even having the effect of enhancing spiritual energy. The Qi Boosting Pill's usual selling price is around two hundred gold coins, but the Yuan Boosting Pill can reach three hundred and fifty gold coins. It's very hard for ordinary shops to have Yuan Boosting Pills for sale," Wu Zhi Shi exclaimed.

Li Lin didn't expect his Yuan Boosting Pill to be valued higher than ordinary second-grade pills.

"Young Master Li, please wait while I prepare the herbs for you," Wu Zhi Shi said, then left the small hall to prepare the herbs for Li Lin.

"Young Master Li, it seems you will be participating in the Yunyang Sect competition in Qingyun Town," Du Gu Binglan said.

"Miss Du Gu knows quite a bit. Indeed, I've heard Yunyang Sect is one of the three sects and four gates. I'd like to see it," Li Lin replied.

"Calling me Miss Du Gu seems a bit distant. From now on, Young Master Li can just call me Binglan," Du Gu Binglan said lightly.

"Binglan Miss," Li Lin didn't stand on ceremony, though he felt a bit awkward inside. In his previous life, calling a woman "Miss" could get you slapped if you were unlucky, but here, it was different. He had to adapt to local customs.

"Then I'll also call Young Master Li by his name, Lin'er, to make it less formal. You won't mind, right?" Du Gu Binglan said with a slight smile.

"Suit yourself," Li Lin replied, not minding at all.

"Young Master Li, your herbs are ready," Wu Zhi Shi brought two large bags, each filled with a bunch of herbs.

"I won't disturb you further. I'll come back to repay the debt next time," Li Lin said, taking the two large bags of herbs and leaving Tianbao Gate. Having just paid fifty Ganzhen Dan, two thousand gold coins, the Yuan Boosting Pill, the Qi Boosting Pill, and the previous dozen or so Ganzhen Dan, he now owed Tianbao Gate much less. After deducting the principal, at most only four thousand gold coins were left. After refining the herbs he now had, he estimated he could completely repay his debt.

Reaching a secluded area, Li Lin quickly stored the herbs into his storage ring and then headed straight for the back mountain, where Little dragon had been staying for quite some time.

Rushing to the back mountain, Li Lin could feel Little dragon's presence. In a valley forest, Li Lin looked forward, and suddenly, invisible waves surged around him.
