"Uncle Jiang, this is really challenging, not to mention I'm just a beginner disciple. It would be difficult to even find the whereabouts of the ten-thousand-year-old Red Copper," Li Lin said.

"This is your matter, not mine. Also, within the Yunyang Sect, there is a movement technique called the Flickering Light Step. It's quite good, probably an early Xuan-level martial technique. You don't have a movement technique yet, so you might as well cultivate that one. As for the rest, you'll have to figure it out on your own," Uncle Jiang said lightly again.

Li Lin rolled his eyes at that, thinking Uncle Jiang acted as if the Yunyang Sect was his own backyard, as if everything there belonged to him.

"Uncle Jiang, I'll do my best," Li Lin said helplessly.

"Useless thing, what do you mean 'do my best'? Whether you steal or rob, you must get it. Once you're at the Yunyang Sect, it's time for you to truly hone yourself. There's nothing else, you can go now," Uncle Jiang dismissed him.

Helplessly, Li Lin left the courtyard and returned to his own.

Back in his courtyard with nothing else to do, Li Lin continued to recuperate in his room. His injuries had not yet fully healed, which was somewhat troubling.

After taking another Return-to-True Pill, Li Lin slowly recuperated, surrounded by a faint glow.

Meanwhile, everyone in the Li family was overjoyed, as two members of their family had successfully entered the Yunyang Sect. Especially Li Lin, who had greatly distinguished himself in the competition that day, bringing glory to the Li family. The elders of the Li family were in an exceptionally good mood these past few days.

In Qingyun Town, all the major families knew that to grow stronger, one must rely on the Yunyang Sect. Otherwise, it would be unlikely. Given the Yunyang Sect's power and status, they would not be interested in meddling in the affairs of Qingyun Town. Therefore, the family whose disciples entered the Yunyang Sect and gained substantial influence there would naturally be able to affect the power structure of the major families in Qingyun Town.

Being accepted as a direct disciple of the Yunyang Sect would significantly elevate one's status and influence the power dynamics in Qingyun Town. Therefore, everyone in the major families hoped that their members could become direct disciples of the Yunyang Sect.

This time, the Qin family produced a spiritualist who became a direct disciple of the Yunyang Sect, leading the competition and causing envy and concern among the other families. Now, with a triple-element martial artist of top talent emerging from the Li family, everyone in the Li family was calculating that becoming a direct disciple of the Yunyang Sect shouldn't be too difficult, which would greatly benefit the Li family in the future.

Luo Lan's status in the Li family had also risen, with some of the elders stopping to greet her, something that had never happened before.

The next morning, Li Lin stopped his recuperation. His injuries were almost completely healed, thanks to the two Return-to-True Pills and his Yin-Yang physique, making his recovery speed astonishing.

Just stepping out of his room, Li Lin smelled a faint, pleasant fragrance and sensed Li Wushuang's presence in the courtyard.

"Lin'er, how are your injuries?" Li Wushuang asked Li Lin.

"My injuries are all healed," Li Lin replied with a calm smile, his gaze lingering on Li Wushuang for a moment before shifting away.

"No way, you were seriously injured. Are you really all healed?" Li Wushuang looked at Li Lin doubtfully, sensing the aura around him. Seeing that his injuries were indeed almost completely healed, she exclaimed in surprise, "You really are a freak, such serious injuries and yet you've recovered so quickly."

"Wushuang sister, did you come here for something?" Li Lin asked with a slight smile.

"I almost forgot to tell you. Elder Bai Mei and a few stewards have arrived at the Li family. They want you to make a trip there; we might be departing for the Yunyang Sect soon," Li Wushuang said.

"Elder Bai Mei." Li Lin was slightly puzzled. Why had Elder Bai Mei come to the Li family? He had seen Elder Bai Mei's strength in the square that day, which was extremely strong. As for which level, Li Lin could not tell.

Li Lin followed Li Wushuang to the Li family's main hall. At that time, several elders of the Li family, along with Li Dong, Li Nan, Li Xi, Zhao Hui, Li Shaohu, and others were present.

At the top of the hall, Elder Bai Mei and three male and one female stewards from the Yunyang Sect were seated, and the Li family's servants had already served fresh fruit, pastries, and hot tea.

Seeing Li Lin arrive, Elder Bai Mei, who was talking to Li Dong, then turned his gaze to Li Lin.

"Greetings to Elder Bai Mei." As Li Lin entered the Li family hall and passed by Zhao Hui, Li Nan, and others, he chose to ignore them.

"No need for formalities," Elder Bai Mei said lightly, sensing the aura around Li Lin, his eyes inevitably showing surprise. The recovery was too fast; Wang Guang of the Wang family was still bedridden.

"Your injury recovery is indeed fast. It seems your physique has been well trained," Elder Bai Mei said.

Li Lin smiled slightly without saying anything. He had been trained by Uncle Jiang for a month and had soaked in a Marrow Cleansing Pill personally refined by Uncle Jiang for a month. Naturally, his physique was much stronger than that of practitioners at the same level.

"Lin'er, Elder Bai Mei said that you'll be departing for the Yunyang Sect the day after tomorrow," Li Dong said.

"The day after tomorrow we depart." Li Lin had not expected to leave for the Yunyang Sect so soon, but it didn't really matter to him, as he had nothing else to do at the moment.

"What, do you still have things to take care of?" Elder Bai Mei asked.

"No, I just didn't expect it to be so soon," Li Lin said.

"That's good. The five from Qingyun Town this time all have exceptional talents, especially Qin Tianhao from the Qin family and you. One is a spiritualist and the other a triple-element martial artist. I also want to bring you to the sect sooner. It takes a month and a half to travel to the Yunyang Sect by flying on magical beasts," Elder Bai Mei said.

"Elder Bai Mei, may I ask if it's possible to return to the Yunyang Sect at any time?" Li Lin asked.

"What, do you miss home?" Elder Bai Mei said with a slight smile: "Once you enter the Yunyang Sect, whether you're a direct disciple or an ordinary disciple, you're only allowed to return home for four months every three years. Other times, you must stay within the Yunyang Sect."

Pausing for a moment, Elder Bai Mei continued: "If you want to return midway, there's one way. Ordinary disciples must reach the Martial Soul level, and direct disciples must reach the Martial General level. Then you can leave the Yunyang Sect at any time. But for you new disciples, that's still a long way off."

"So that's how it is." Li Lin was taken aback but thought it wasn't much of an issue. Three years it is, then.

"Lin'er, don't worry. Your mother won't have any problems in the Li family. You can trust your uncle on this," Li Dong said, seemingly understanding Li Lin's implicit worries.

"Then I'll take my leave first. I thought I could meet Li Zhong, but who knew that guy would be in seclusion again," Elder Bai Mei said lightly.
