Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 363 Lin Dong's Arrival, First Meeting

"Oh, it's Xiao Dongzi. Didn't you go out to train? What brings you here?" Xiao Li said with a smile when he saw Lin Dong.

Lin Dong was delighted to see Xiao Li, and then bowed to him.

"Master, it's been a long time."

Xiao Li sized up Lin Dong: "Not bad, not bad, you've reached the Great Perfection of the Shaping Realm! Before you left, I heard you'd made a big leap from the Core Formation Realm... Huh? Your Yuan Yang? It's leaked! Oh my, who is this? Is he good-looking?"

Hearing Xiao Li's teasing, Lin Dong blushed deeply, and the Heavenly Demon Sable inside the stone talisman was laughing so hard it couldn't fly out.

Zhou Tong, who was standing nearby, also sat down to listen to Lin Dong's story.

After hesitating for a while, Lin Dong finally told Xiao Li what had happened in the ancient tomb.

"Oh my! Ling Qingzhu? Interesting. I told you you weren't qualified, right? You must be from one of the eight super powers in the Eastern Xuan Region. You must know Zhou Tong, right?" Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

Zhou Tong stroked his chin and recalled carefully that after he was rescued by Xiao Li, he secretly went back to see his master Ying Xuanzi, but did not stay in the Dao Sect for too long. Instead, he told Ying Xuanzi that the Yuan Sect was the enemy, and then joined forces with other sects.

Zhou Tong also collected information on the genius disciples of the eight major sects of this generation. In fact, Zhou Tong looked at the information of the Dao Sect the most, after all, he came from the Dao Sect.

"I can't recall, did that girl have any other distinctive features?"

Lin Dong stroked his chin: "She's very beautiful, like a fairy who doesn't eat the food of mortals, wearing a veil and accompanied by a blue lotus."

Zhou Tong nodded: "This kind of appearance can probably only be found in the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace. You're quite something, kid. You've slept with all the fairies of the Nine Heavens Taiqing Palace, doing what I couldn't do back then!"

Lin Dong scratched his head awkwardly.

Xiao Li smiled faintly and said, "Alright, this is an experience that everyone has to go through in life. You are a normal man, neither a eunuch nor a virgin. It's normal to have a woman you like."

Anyway, men's attraction to women is primarily based on physical attraction. That girl looks down on you, a poor guy, right? Then go and prove her wrong, prove her wrong with you, Lin Dong!

For this kind of woman, the only way to conquer her is through violence. Good luck, I believe in you!

Lin Dong nodded. He believed his master's words. After all, his master had watched him grow up, guided his cultivation, and helped him establish his foundation. Lin Dong would never forget these kindnesses!

Xiao Li suddenly remembered something: "By the way, what brings you here?"

Lin Dong then remembered his own business and took out a long halberd.

The halberd is dark red all over, with a straight shaft and a handle covered with scale-like patterns. At the tip, the sharp blade gleams with a chilling light, and on that tip are even ferocious tiny scales that form a tooth-like shape.

Lin Dong said, "This is what I got from that ancient tomb, a spirit treasure halberd called the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd. Little Marten said that the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd is not yet finished, and I would like to ask my master to refine it."

"Oh?" Xiao Li took the Heavenly Scale Halberd and weighed it in his hand. "It's a rough prototype that barely reaches the level of a mid-grade spiritual treasure. It contains a wisp of dragon blood and comes with a set of superior martial arts, the Heavenly Scale Halberd Technique... It's just so-so. I'll reforge it for you."

Xiao Li walked back with the Heavenly Scale Halberd in his hand. After about an incense stick's time, Xiao Li came out again, and the dark red halberd in his hand had turned dark gold.

"then."

Xiao Li threw out the Heavenly Scale Halberd, and Lin Dong caught it and immediately sensed its unique characteristics.

"I have reforged this Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd, and it is now roughly at the level of a high-grade earth-rank spiritual treasure. I have also improved the Heavenly Scale Halberd Technique within the halberd, increasing it from the original four forms to five. The Fish Scale Halberd is equivalent to a ninth-grade martial art, while the Raging Python Halberd, Transforming Dragon Halberd, and Heavenly Dragon Halberd are all creation-level martial arts. The last form, the Ancient Dragon Halberd, is a spiritual martial art. Comprehend it carefully."

Xiao Li reforged the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd, greatly improving both its accompanying martial arts and its overall quality.

After putting away the Heavenly Scale Halberd, Lin Dong bowed to Xiao Li again: "Thank you, Grandmaster."

Xiao Li smiled slightly: "Alright, enough of this nonsense. By the way, what are your plans after this?"

Lin Dong: "Afterwards, I plan to travel with my father. Simply focusing on arduous training won't lead to much growth. In a few years, at the clan gathering, I'll make Lin Langtian pay the price!"

Xiao Li: "Oh? Lin Langtian isn't dead yet? Didn't your father go looking for trouble with Lin Langtian last time? So Lin Langtian isn't dead yet?"

Lin shook his head: "Last time, Father went to ambush Lin Langtian and severely injured him, but it seems that there was a remnant soul in his body that saved Lin Langtian. Father said that the remnant soul was probably at the Nirvana Realm in his previous life."

"Tsk, that brat Lin Xiao let the enemy escape again. Looks like his training isn't up to par. I'll give him a good beating later!" Xiao Li was quite speechless about this disciple.

His willpower is quite good; he can withstand the pain of broken bones and tendons. However, his killing is not thorough enough, which easily leads to unnecessary trouble.

Zhou Tong, standing to the side, looked at Lin Dong and said, "Lin Dong, once these matters are resolved, go and participate in the Hundred Dynasties War. The Hundred Dynasties War is a grand event in the Eastern Xuan Region, and the winner can join one of the eight super sects of the Eastern Xuan Region."

There are abundant cultivation resources and advanced martial arts techniques there.

Lin Dong nodded: "I understand, Manager Zhou is also from one of the eight super sects."

Zhou Tong nodded with a smile: "Yes, I am a member of the Dao Sect, but since I left the Dao Sect, its status seems to have been declining step by step."

"Lin Dong, Lin Dong! If you can join a sect after the Hundred Dynasties War, you must join this Dao Sect. The person in front of you is the ruthless person who stormed the Yuan Gate a hundred years ago!"

Although rumors say he was killed by the Yuan Sect leader, and I don't know how he ended up here, the Dao Sect has plenty of good stuff, definitely better than that old dog from the Yuan Sect!

The Heavenly Demon Sable inside the stone talisman kept talking, suggesting that Lin Dong join the Dao Sect. There was already a senior from the Dao Sect here, so joining the Dao Sect would be a piece of cake.

Xiao Li looked at Lin Dong, then nodded, and the Heavenly Demon Sable was drawn out from the stone talisman.

"Little Sable, just say what you want to say. It's not a big deal. The Human Dao Sect hasn't had any conflict with your Heavenly Demon Sable clan," Xiao Li said with a faint smile.

The little ferret scratched its head: "Hehe, I'm just used to it. Sorry for making you laugh."

Xiao Li tossed out a pill: "This pill can stabilize your soul. I presume you also have your own way of reshaping your physical body, right? Your cultivation level wasn't low when you were alive, and your vision is definitely much higher than that kid Lin Dong's."

The little sable immediately took the pill. This pill was extraordinary. He had taken it once before, and it had restored him to a great extent. He had never seen such a powerful pill before.

Lin Dong bowed to Xiao Li and the others before leaving.

Xiao Li crossed his arms: "This kid is indeed extraordinary. Perhaps he will become the savior of your Tianxuan Continent?"

Zhou Tong looked at Xiao Li: "Do you value him that much?"

Xiao Li smiled slightly, and then he heard a commotion outside the door, followed by a delicate shout!

"Why aren't you watching where you're going?! You bumped into me!"

Outside the Zili Pavilion, Lin Dong collided with a girl in red, and the two fell to the ground at the same time.

Not far from the girl in red stood a woman dressed in black. The woman was slender and graceful, with soft, dark hair casually tied back with a blue ribbon. This woman looked very much like the girl in red, except that the woman in black was intellectual and gentle, while the girl in red appeared lively and adorable.

The woman in black helped the girl in red up, then helped Lin Dong up, saying, "Young brother, I'm sorry, my sister is a bit impatient. Please excuse her."

The girl in red pouted, "What? It's obvious that this kid wasn't watching where he was going."

Lin Dong rubbed his nose; he had indeed been lost in thought and hadn't been looking where he was going. He then cupped his hands in apology to the girl in red, saying, "I'm sorry, young lady. I was momentarily distracted and bumped into you. Please forgive me."

The girl in red put her hands on her hips and said, "Since you've apologized, I'll forgive you. At least you're honest. What's your name? My name is Ying Huanhuan!"

Lin Dong clasped his hands in a fist and said, "My name is Lin Dong."

Ying Huanhuan's eyes darted around: "Lin Dong? I'll remember that."

"Alright! Huanhuan, Xiaoxiao, let's go inside." Behind the two girls stood a middle-aged man in white.

The middle-aged man looked at Lin Dong and said, "Young brother, you have good talent. Cultivate diligently, and I hope you can achieve a good ranking in the Hundred Dynasties Battle in the future."

Lin Dong cupped his hands in greeting. The middle-aged man smiled faintly and led the two young girls into the Zi Li Pavilion.

Lin Dong watched them go inside, scratched his head, and then left.

After entering the Purple Pavilion, the girl in red looked around and exclaimed, "Wow! So many spiritual treasures! And they're all of very good quality!"

"Master!" Zhou Tong immediately walked over when he saw the person. The middle-aged man in white was Ying Xuanzi, the head of the Dao Sect.

The two girls behind Ying Xuanzi are his two daughters, Ying Xiaoxiao and Ying Huanhuan.

Ying Xiaoxiao bowed to Zhou Tong and said, "Senior Brother Zhou Tong!"

Ying Huanhuan also bowed, saying, "Senior Brother Zhou Tong!"

Zhou Tong was the pride of the entire Dao Sect. Everyone in the sect admired him. Unfortunately, Zhou Tong was killed when he attacked the Yuan Sect. However, he was not killed but captured by the Yuan Sect and rescued by a reclusive master.

Ying Xuanzi quickly helped Zhou Tong up: "Good, good, good. Your cultivation has reached the Reincarnation Realm now. Alas, it's all my fault for worrying too much back then."

Zhou Tong shook his head: "Back then, I was young and arrogant, and I was so confident in my cultivation that I suffered such a disaster! Fortunately, Mr. Xiao saved me."

Ying Xuanzi approached Xiao Li and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for saving my disciple's life."

Xiao Li waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's nothing. We just met him on the road. We saw that Zhou Tong could resist the erosion of demonic energy, so we did it as a favor."

Xiao Li glanced around, then fixed his gaze on Ying Huanhuan and let out a soft exclamation.

Snapped-

Zi Yan patted Xiao Li on the shoulder, her gaze somewhat dangerous.

"Ahem, what brings you here, Sect Leader Ying?" Xiao Li asked casually.

Ying Xuanzi nodded: "There is something I would like to ask Mr. Xiao for help in eliminating a demon! I heard from Zhou Tong that Mr. Xiao's cultivation is astonishing. I wonder if he could help my Dao Sect resolve a hidden danger?"

"Hidden danger? What hidden danger?"

Ying Xuanzi: "A demon king has been suppressed beneath the Great Desolate Stele, a treasure of our Daoist sect. We would like to ask you, sir, to exorcise this demon."
