Chapter 862 Not Simple
"Yes! I think so too. He's not only extraordinarily talented, but also composed, perceptive, and of good character—humble yet confident—an exceptional gem indeed!"
"Yes! This time, he truly made a notable contribution!"
The Valley Master chatted with Lin Yi.
The Valley Master looked towards Lin Yi's departing figure, his eyes flashing with profoundness.
"Lin Yi, although your name is quite ordinary, your aptitude is impressive. Would you like to follow me?"
The Valley Master looked at Lin Yi, his eyes showing a touch of gentleness.
"Valley Master, I'm willing!" Lin Yi nodded without hesitation.
He knew that by staying by the side of this supremely powerful Valley Master, he would have greater opportunities for advancement, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
The Valley Master nodded in satisfaction and smiled, "In that case, go back and prepare now! Once you're ready, return to the Valley with me!"
"Yes!"
Lin Yi bowed and then quickly left.
...
Lin Yi returned home immediately after leaving the Valley.
The Lin Family was his birthplace, his root; he had to go back because it was his home.
Upon arriving, Lin Yi found his sister and father sitting anxiously in the courtyard.
He quickly approached.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!"
Lin Yi announced with a radiant smile.
Seeing Lin Yi, Lin Mengyao's eyes became moist as she hugged him tightly.
"Brother, you've suffered during this time!"
Feeling the warmth in Lin Mengyao's words, Lin Yi gently patted her on the shoulder and reassured, "Mengyao, it's okay! Your brother is very capable, and our future will be promising!"
"Brother, you're really amazing!"
Lin Mengyao admired, her beautiful face filled with happiness.
Lin Yi smiled slightly and turned his gaze towards Lin Tianxiong and Yang Xiumei. "Father, Mother, I've been in seclusion for some time; has everything been okay here?"
Lin Tianxiong and Yang Xiumei glanced at each other, their faces showing a hint of embarrassment, avoiding Lin Yi's gaze.
Their cultivation resources had all been used up by Lin Yi.
Seeing their reaction, Lin Yi's expression darkened, and he scolded, "Father, Mother, how could you deceive me? What exactly happened?"
Lin Tianxiong and Yang Xiumei hurriedly explained, "No, nothing! We've been cultivating very diligently these days!"
"Then why have you used up all the cultivation resources?" Lin Yi asked with a frown.
Lin Tianxiong and Yang Xiumei's faces turned red, and they stuttered, unsure of how to respond.
"I don't care, you must replenish them!"
Seeing their reaction, Lin Yi realized that they must have encountered some issues in their cultivation; otherwise, they wouldn't have reacted this way.
Lin Yi didn't bother to ask further, "Don't speak for now, let me check the condition inside your bodies first!"
"Yes!" Lin Tianxiong responded quickly.
As Lin Yi examined the bodies of Lin Tianxiong and Yang Xiumei, he soon let out a sigh of relief as the concern vanished from his face.
"Don't worry! There's nothing seriously wrong with you internally. As long as you cultivate diligently from now on, you'll be able to return to your original state," Lin Yi said.
"Really?" Lin Tianxiong and Yang Xiumei showed ecstatic expressions, overwhelmed with excitement.
"Mhm, really!"
Lin Yi nodded and continued, "During this time, you don't need to work too hard. I'll help you improve your cultivation while I'm here. The rest is up to you!"
"Yes!" Lin Tianxiong and Yang Xiumei excitedly nodded again.
"Alright! Rest now!"
After speaking, Lin Yi turned and left, disappearing into the night.
...
The next day.
Lin Yi went to the Valley.
"Greetings, Valley Master!" Lin Yi arrived before the Valley Master and bowed.
The Valley Master of the Valley glanced at Lin Yi, appreciation showing in his eyes.
"Your name is Lin Yi, right? I see your cultivation is strong. Would you be willing to join our Valley?" the Valley Master asked directly.
Lin Yi was slightly stunned, his expression froze, and he asked the Valley Master, "Valley Master, what do you mean?"
```
He hadn't expected to encounter such an event just after escaping from the valley.
"I see that your cultivation is extraordinary, and I want to recruit you as a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley! Are you willing?" the Valley Master said directly.
Hearing this, Lin Yi was greatly startled.
He had never imagined that the Valley Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley would be so forthright.
"Valley Master, let's discuss this matter another day! I have urgent business to attend to, so I must take my leave now!"
After saying this, Lin Yi tried to turn around and flee.
"Stop!"
The Valley Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley called out indifferently.
Lin Yi paused in his steps, turned his head, and looked at the Valley Master.
"Are you unwilling to join the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley?" the Valley Master asked.
Lin Yi shook his head and said, "What kind of force the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley is, I know nothing about it. How can I become its disciple?"
Lin Yi was self-aware. With only the cultivation of a Fourth-Order Spiritual Warrior, how could he possibly be a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley?
"Do you mean that becoming a disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Valley would make you one of us?"
The Valley Master asked, squinting his eyes.
Lin Yi nodded and replied, "Exactly!"
The Valley Master nodded and said, "Alright then! You may leave, and we will discuss this in the evening."
"Yes!" Lin Yi bowed and then left the place.
...
Lin Yi returned to the Lin Family.
"Young Master, you're back!"
"Yes, where did you go? Young Master, do you know? The entire Lin Family has been in chaos these past few days!"
"Yes, the lord and lady were almost sick with worry, fearing that something might have happened to you, but now, you've finally returned safely!"
The people of the Lin Family greeted him with various questions.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's okay! I'm back now!"
Seeing his response, they did not press further.
"Young Master, we'll prepare the medicine for you right away!"
A maid said.
"No need!" Lin Yi interjected.
"What? How then?" the maid panicked.
"Don't worry, I have a way!" Lin Yi smiled slightly.
"Oh? Really? Then please tell me, what is the way?" the maid asked eagerly.
"Ha ha!" Lin Yi chuckled lightly and said, "Just go about your business. I'll have someone send over the medicine later!"
Hearing this, everyone did not ask further and went their own ways.
...
Dinner time.
After eating, Lin Yi entered his room.
He took out an elixir, consumed it, and began to close his eyes to nourish his body and consolidate his realm.
In three days' time.
Lin Yi completely stabilized his cultivation and his strength surged, reaching a Five-Star Martial Artist.
After that, Lin Yi began his practice, refining the remaining Immortal Spiritual Power in his body.
In one night's practice, Lin Yi refined all the accumulated Immortal Spiritual Power inside him.
Then, Lin Yi left his room and went to the Valley Master's study.
"Knock knock knock!"
A knocking sound arose.
The Valley Master's voice came through, saying, "Come in!"
Lin Yi pushed the door and entered.
"Valley Master, I have been in closed-door cultivation these past few days, so I haven't visited until now. I have come back this time to request help with some matters from the Valley Master. I wonder if you could assist me," Lin Yi said, bowing respectfully.
"Oh? What matters?"
The Valley Master asked.
