Inside the Purple Extreme Hall, a pink mist enveloped two bodies.

Three hours later;

The mist gradually dispersed. Luo Yusu was the first to recover. She struggled to stand, looking at Lin Xiao on the ground with a complex expression.

Lin Xiao had actually woken up too, but he didn't dare to get up and could only pretend to be asleep.

The Purple Extreme Hall was silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

"The Yuan Yin of Master actually allowed me to break through to the mid-stage of the Condensing Yuan Realm in one go. Truly worthy of a Saint Realm powerhouse's Yuan Yin, and it's even eight hundred years old..."

Upon waking, Lin Xiao discovered that he not only broke through a major realm but was now at the mid-stage of the Condensing Yuan Realm!

"This is the benefit of dual cultivation. No wonder those powerful cultivators seek Dao Companions with special constitutions."

Lin Xiao had heard from his Senior Sister that their Master possessed the Mystic Heaven Ice Phoenix Body, a constitution that could bring great benefits to a dual cultivation partner, allowing them to break through bottlenecks or directly advance in their cultivation.

In the Great Luo Sacred Sect, there was even a Supreme Elder who had pursued their Master for hundreds of years, hoping to become her Dao Companion, likely because of her Mystic Heaven Ice Phoenix Body.

"If I could experience this a few more times, wouldn't it save a lot of cultivation time?" Lin Xiao reminisced about the recent experience, savoring it. If possible, he wished to indulge in it forever, discussing the Dao of Yin and Yang with his Master day and night.

However, these were just thoughts. What lay before him now was how to calm his Master's anger.

"Get up!"

A cold voice shattered the silence in the hall.

Lin Xiao's body trembled. Just hearing the voice, he felt a chill. It seemed his Master was truly angry. She had never spoken to him in this tone before.

Lin Xiao opened his eyes and saw that Luo Yusu had already dressed. He hurriedly picked up his clothes and put them on.

"Master..."

Lin Xiao spoke thick-skinned.

"Shut up, don't call me Master."

"Luo Yusu."

"Silence! How dare you call your Master's name directly?" Luo Yusu's face was frosty with anger, not realizing it was a trap.

"Disciple dares not, Master." Lin Xiao was secretly pleased, as this proved Luo Yusu didn't truly want to expel him from the sect.

"You..."

Luo Yusu was once again infuriated by Lin Xiao's shamelessness.

"Master, it's not entirely the disciple's fault. It's all because of that Black Flood Dragon King. Who knew it had such a Poison Pill inside..." Lin Xiao continued as the atmosphere slightly eased.

"If you hadn't touched that Poison Pill, none of this would have happened!"

Luo Yusu was still in a state of turmoil, only pretending to be calm on the surface.

"Disciple was wrong. Please forgive me this once, or give me a chance to make amends."

Looking at Luo Yusu's exquisite figure and face, Lin Xiao's resolve grew stronger.

"Make amends? How?" Luo Yusu wished she could slap this rebellious disciple to death. Could what she lost be compensated?

Or did Lin Xiao think what she lost wasn't important and could be made up for?

This thought made Luo Yusu even angrier and more heartbroken.

"Master, please give me a chance." Lin Xiao paused, mustering all his courage, and looked at Luo Yusu with determination. "Please give me a chance to pursue you!"

At these words, Luo Yusu's mind went blank for a few moments. She stared at Lin Xiao, momentarily forgetting to speak.

After a while, Luo Yusu came back to her senses and pointed her slender finger at Lin Xiao. "Do you know what you're saying? This is outrageous!"

Luo Yusu was truly shocked by Lin Xiao's boldness. If these words spread, both she and Lin Xiao would be scorned by countless people and would have no face left in the Great Luo Sacred Sect.

"Master, I know saying this now is laughable because I'm not strong enough. I'm not worthy of you now. Please give me some time. When I become strong enough, when I'm worthy of you."

Lin Xiao didn't believe in these constraints. Rules were made by the strong. Once he became powerful enough to defy everything, would he still adhere to those rules?

Luo Yusu was in chaos. She intended to blame Lin Xiao, but he led her astray step by step. This rebellious disciple wasn't asking for forgiveness but for a chance to pursue her?

"Master, every word I said is sincere. My admiration for you began the moment I first saw you." Seeing Luo Yusu silent, Lin Xiao continued.

"Shut up, get out!" Luo Yusu wanted to calm down first. Her mind was in turmoil, and she couldn't make the right judgment.

With Lin Xiao around, she couldn't calm down.

"Master, my body has been transformed by dragon blood, and with the Yuan Yin you gave me, my cultivation speed will be several times faster than before. I won't make you wait long."

Lin Xiao believed that he only needed a few decades to reach the Saint Realm. Only by becoming a Saint could he be worthy of his Master and form a Dao Companion with her.

Hearing the words 'Yuan Yin', Luo Yusu's anger surged. She raised her hand and unleashed a burst of spiritual power, enveloping Lin Xiao.

As Lin Xiao was thrown out of the Purple Extreme Hall, he heard Luo Yusu's icy words.

"Rebellious disciple, from now on, you are not allowed to come within a step of the Purple Extreme Hall!"

The spiritual power wrapped around Lin Xiao, carrying him out of the Purple Extreme Hall, and he rolled down the nine hundred and ninety-nine steps.

When he rolled to the foot of Zixiao Peak, the barrier of Zixiao Peak activated, isolating him outside.

"Sigh, being kicked out of the house is better than being expelled from the sect. Once Master calms down, I can return."

Lin Xiao could accept this outcome. Initially, he was truly worried about being expelled from the sect, which would mean never seeing his Master again.

If he couldn't even see her, how could he talk about pursuing her?

Although his Master hadn't explicitly answered whether she would give him a chance to pursue her, the hope wasn't extinguished. At least, she hadn't rejected him, right?

As he stood alone at the foot of Zixiao Peak, staring up at the towering Purple Extreme Hall, four disciples from Ling Shou Peak passed by. Seeing Lin Xiao isolated outside the barrier, looking lost, they assumed he had been expelled from the sect and were all gloating.

"I heard Lin Xiao's meridians were shattered, making him a cripple who can't cultivate. Could it be that he was expelled by Peak Master Luo?"

A young man around twenty, with a mocking smile, was genuinely happy to see Lin Xiao so downcast.

In the Great Luo Sacred Sect, many envied and resented Lin Xiao, mainly because he was taken in by Luo Yusu.

Luo Yusu, with her beauty unmatched in the Cangli Continent, was the goddess in many hearts. If they couldn't become her disciple, they didn't want to see another man become one.

Moreover, this man could see her day and night, driving many to madness.

Another important reason was that Zixiao Peak had only two disciples, unlike other peaks with hundreds or thousands, where cultivation resources were scarce, and competition was intense.

Lin Xiao monopolized the resources of an entire peak, making many people envious.

This time, with Lin Xiao in trouble, many were secretly delighted.

"This waste should have been gone long ago. A cripple who can't cultivate, why should he occupy the resources of a peak?" Another male disciple in a blue robe spoke. His appearance was rugged, carrying a broad-bladed giant sword, looking intimidating.

"Exactly, most of the time, Zhou Wenqing is outside, leaving only him as the male disciple. Over time, there would inevitably be rumors unfavorable to Peak Master Luo. It's better for him to leave early to avoid affecting Peak Master Luo's reputation."

A sharp-faced male disciple also seized the chance to add insult to injury.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Lin Xiao, who had his back to them, erupted. The sound of dragon blood boiling emanated from Lin Xiao's body, as if a giant dragon was awakening!

"Mock me, and I'll just cripple you. Insult my Master, and ten lives won't be enough for you to die!"

Lin Xiao was like someone whose reverse scale had been touched. He used his Shadow Step, transforming into a black shadow, and punched the sharp-faced male disciple.

"Condensing Yuan Realm cultivation? Wasn't he crippled?"

The sharp-faced male disciple was shocked, hurriedly channeling spiritual power to form a protective barrier.

Bang!

What shocked the four even more was that Lin Xiao's fist penetrated the protective barrier and struck the sharp-faced male disciple's face!

Ah!

A miserable scream echoed as the sharp-faced male disciple was sent flying, blood spraying in mid-air.
