Another battle had ended. Lin Xiu took a moment to glance at his status panel. After devouring the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, his strength had advanced by two realms, and the level of his Flame Mantra had also increased.
However, Lin Xiu didn't mind this much, as his main Qi Method was still the Multiple Great Essence Method.
Based on his sparring frequency with Yao Tian Huo, Lin Xiu estimated that in another six months, he would be able to gather enough Earth Rank High-Level Qi Methods and then fuse them to create a Heaven Rank Low-Level Qi Method.
"My Qi Methods and Dou Techniques are already sufficient. Having too many won't help since I can't use them all. Now, the only thing I'm missing is the blood of an Eighth Rank Magic Beast."
Lin Xiu sighed to himself. Despite having been at the Dou Ancestor level for a long time, his aptitude was still stuck at Rank 7, which was quite frustrating.
"What are you going to do at the Wind Lightning Mountain Range? From what I know, the Four Pavilion Grand Meeting is a place for the younger generation to exchange skills."
Turning his head, Lin Xiu saw Tang Huo'er sitting beside him, her face filled with curiosity.
"I'm looking for someone," Lin Xiu replied.
Hearing this, Tang Huo'er was momentarily stunned.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand. Once the Four Pavilion Grand Meeting is over, I'll return the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame to you."
Lin Xiu didn't feel like explaining too much.
"Don't be like that! As long as you agree to let me follow you, you can borrow the Heavenly Flame for even longer," Tang Huo'er said.
Since leaving the Burning Flame Valley, she was like a wild horse set free, not wanting to return too early.
Moreover, after watching Lin Xiu spar with Yao Tian Huo along the way, her curiosity only grew.
Although Lin Xiu was merely a Dou Ancestor, he could exchange several rounds with a Dou Venerate.
She had never seen someone like that back in the Burning Flame Valley.
Additionally, Tang Huo'er found it fun to follow Lin Xiu around. Especially knowing that he was headed to the Pill Tower, she felt even more determined not to return to the Burning Flame Valley early.
As one of the most prominent forces in Central Plains, the Pill Tower was full of depth and countless geniuses.
Having witnessed Lin Xiu's terrifying talent in alchemy, Tang Huo'er couldn't help but feel that something would be missing if she didn't see the people at the Pill Tower being shocked by Lin Xiu's abilities.
"Your opinion doesn't matter. Once the Four Pavilion Grand Meeting is over, you can go back and talk to Master Tang yourself," Lin Xiu waved his hand dismissively.
"You're really no fun," Tang Huo'er glared at him.
After a short rest, the three of them set off again.
This time, the Four Pavilion Grand Meeting was being held at the Eastern Pavilion of the Wind Lightning Pavilion, located at the edge of the Northern Region in the Wind Lightning Mountain Range.
The journey was long, so spatial wormholes became the best choice for travel.
Along the way, Lin Xiu passed through Tian Bei City again.
Since he was only passing by, he didn't intend to greet Han Yue.
However, when Lin Xiu arrived at the spatial passage and saw the figures controlling it, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.
Those people weren't wearing the Han family's emblem on their chests but instead had a wind and lightning pattern.
"Excuse me, isn't the spatial passage of Tian Bei City controlled by the Han family?"
Lin Xiu stepped forward and asked.
The person glanced at him arrogantly and said, "The Han family? What are they? They offended the Wind Lightning Pavilion, and their whole family deserves to be wiped out."
"The Han family is gone?" Lin Xiu was stunned, and his expression suddenly darkened as a surge of power emanated from him, pressing down on the man.
Realizing that Lin Xiu was a Dou Ancestor, the man's face changed. He immediately dropped his arrogant attitude and said humbly, "No, no, I didn't explain it properly. The Han family hasn't been wiped out; they've all been captured by my Wind Lightning Pavilion and taken to our headquarters."
He sighed. "The Han family was lucky, though. There's someone named Lin Xiu backing them. The pavilion master learned that the Han family had destroyed the Hong family and killed Senior Brother Hong Chen from the inner pavilion. Initially, he intended to wipe out the Han family, but upon hearing that Lin Xiu might come to the Wind Lightning Pavilion in the future, he decided to spare them for now."
Lin Xiu remained silent, but his eyes turned cold. For the Wind Lightning Pavilion to take action against the Han family was a blatant disregard for justice.
In the original story, the Wind Lightning Pavilion only sought revenge on Xiao Yan. This development was completely unexpected.
Soon, the three of them stepped into the spatial passage and sat on a space boat.
"What are you planning to do?" Yao Tian Huo asked as he sat beside Lin Xiu.
"I'm still missing a body. I'll just select one from within the Wind Lightning Pavilion," Lin Xiu said calmly, without any hint of emotion. But the more composed he seemed, the more frightening it felt.
Yao Tian Huo was taken aback, remembering Lin Xiu's agreement with the Medicine Sovereign.
"If I give it my all, I can still contend against a 4-Star Dou Venerate," Yao Tian Huo said after a moment of thought.
"That's enough. We're not alone in this; we also have people from Yao Chen's side," Lin Xiu nodded slightly.
Since he was helping Yao Chen create a body, there was no reason for Venerable Feng to stand by and do nothing.
Moreover, Venerable Lei of the Wind Lightning Pavilion isn't particularly powerful.
Whether it's the Three Thousand Lightning Movements Dou Technique or his relationship with Zi Yan, it's already determined that Lin Xiu and the Wind Lightning Pavilion are on opposing sides.
Therefore, if there's an opportunity to destroy them, it would be a good choice.
The Wind Lightning Pavilion, one of the Four Corners Pavilions, surely has a foundation far superior to that of the Misty Cloud Sect by several levels.
...
In a dark corner of the Wind Lightning Mountain Range, an underground prison held many figures in its cages.
"Yu'er, do you really think that Junior Brother of yours will come?" Han Chi asked, his voice bitter, full of despair.
"He will, definitely! I believe in him," Han Yue replied, sitting against the wall in a corner of the cell. Her silver hair, now dusty and dull, had lost its luster, but her eyes still shone with unwavering hope.
"Hahaha..."
A burst of mocking laughter echoed from afar.
Several figures dressed in Wind Lightning Pavilion robes sat around a table.
One of them sneered, "A mere Dou Ancestor—so what if he comes? This is the Eastern Pavilion of the Wind Lightning Pavilion, our headquarters, and the pavilion master is a Dou Venerate."
"Exactly, still dreaming in the face of death. You should cherish the few days you have left. Once the Four Pavilion Grand Meeting ends, it'll be time for you to go on your way," another person chimed in.
...
In the distance, the mountains appeared gloomy, with dark clouds hanging overhead. The roars of wind and thunder echoed through the air, and the dense power of wind and lightning swirled above the vast mountain range.
"What a rich concentration of wind and lightning energy. If I hadn't found the Origin Return back then, this place would have been the training paradise I always dreamed of," Lin Xiu muttered, gazing at the mountains with a hint of emotion.
In the early days, the elements he awakened were wind and lightning, and nothing else.
Thus, a place so rich in wind and lightning power was the most suitable location for him to cultivate.
"What's the plan now?" Yao Tian Huo's eyes were filled with fighting intent, eager to move. After days of sparring with Lin Xiu while holding back, he was now full of pent-up energy, itching to find an opponent to release it on.
"We'll find a place and wait for the Four Pavilion Grand Meeting to begin," Lin Xiu replied, spreading out his Soul Power. He found a secluded spot and descended first.
