"Junior Brother Lin Xiao, name your price. As long as I can afford it, I'll make sure to satisfy you," Yun Mengxi was determined to obtain that Dragon Clan Technique.

"I'm very sorry, Senior Sister Yun, but it's not about the price," Lin Xiao refused Yun Mengxi once again.

"Junior Brother Lin, to be honest, this Dragon Clan Technique is extremely important to me. If you share it with me, I, Yun Mengxi, will owe you a favor and can help you with three things in the future. How about it?" Yun Mengxi offered sincerely.

To her disappointment, Lin Xiao still refused.

"I'm curious about the reason. Is it because I'm competing with Zhou Wenqing for the position of Holy Maiden that you keep rejecting me?" Yun Mengxi looked at Lin Xiao. In just a few days of interaction, she found Lin Xiao increasingly hard to understand.

"That's part of it. In fact, after spending a few days together, I have a good impression of Senior Sister Yun," Lin Xiao spoke the truth. Yun Mengxi's current cultivation was likely at the Heavenly Human Realm, but she didn't use her status to pressure others, which made Lin Xiao have some favorable impressions of her.

Lin Xiao knew that the Ancient Ancestral Dragon Art he obtained was very important to Yun Mengxi, but no matter what, he couldn't share it with her.

Because it was an Emperor-level Technique, and if it became known, it would bring disaster. Experts at the Saint Realm would come to seize it, and even Luo Yusu might not be able to protect him.

Seeing Lin Xiao's firm attitude, Yun Mengxi sighed helplessly, "Alright, if you change your mind in the future, you can come to me."

Yun Mengxi tossed a jade pendant to Lin Xiao and then turned to leave.

This jade pendant was for contacting Yun Mengxi. As long as the distance wasn't too far, it could transmit voice messages at any time.

"Senior Sister Yun's personal Communication Jade Pendant, with this, I can contact her anytime, anywhere."

Some people saw the jade pendant in Lin Xiao's hand and their eyes burned with envy. Yun Mengxi was not only the high-ranking Senior Sister of Fuyao Peak but also a candidate for the Holy Maiden. For someone like her to voluntarily give a man a Communication Jade Pendant was truly enviable.

"Lin Xiao gets all the benefits, why?" someone said angrily.

Feeling the unfriendly gazes around him, Lin Xiao decided to find a place to cultivate first.

Below Reflection Cliff, there were ten grass huts, not far from the Enlightenment Stone Stele Forest. When Lin Xiao arrived, there happened to be one hut still available.

However, at this moment, two other people also arrived, clearly intending to rest in the grass hut as well.

These two were wearing the attire of Inner Disciples, around twenty years old, and both were in the late Condensing Yuan Realm.

Lin Xiao observed them and saw their unfriendly expressions, realizing this wouldn't be easily resolved.

"This grass hut is occupied by us brothers, and we have our things inside. Even if you're a True Disciple, you should respect the order of arrival, right?" The two of them glared at Lin Xiao. Previously, they wouldn't dare provoke Lin Xiao, but now that Lin Xiao's realm was lower than theirs, could they not provoke him?

Moreover, in recent days, Lin Xiao had been in the spotlight at Reflection Cliff, comprehending two steles in succession, which made them both angry and envious.

"The grass hut doesn't belong to anyone. You left, and I entered. Is there a problem?" Lin Xiao said calmly.

The two brothers sneered, "Left? Which eye of yours saw us leave? Lin Xiao, don't bully people just because you're a True Disciple!"

"In that case, let's settle this with our fists," Lin Xiao couldn't be bothered to argue and directly approached the two.

"Compete with fists? We disciples of Nine Radiance Peak are dual cultivators of body and technique, invincible in close combat!"

Seeing Lin Xiao not using sword techniques and instead competing with them in physical strength, the two were secretly pleased.

"Invincible in close combat?" Lin Xiao sneered, clenching his fists, one punch for each.

The two were not to be outdone, clenching their fists to counterattack!

Crack!

The sound of bones breaking echoed, followed by two screams.

Hearing the screams, people from the other nine grass huts came out to watch, only to see a shocking scene. The two disciples from Nine Radiance Peak had their arms broken by Lin Xiao's punch and were lying on the ground, wailing in pain.

"A body cultivator from Nine Radiance Peak was defeated with physical strength?" The people from the nine grass huts hadn't seen Lin Xiao use any weapon, just pure fists to break the two's arms.

"Isn't Lin Xiao primarily a sword cultivator? When did his physical strength become so strong?" someone wondered. Ever since entering Reflection Cliff, Lin Xiao had been showing things that were always surprising.

Lin Xiao ignored the two lying on the ground. After entering the grass hut, he threw out their belongings and closed the door.

"Lin Xiao is too much. Once the confinement period ends in a few days, we'll go back and get a True Disciple from Nine Radiance Peak to deal with him!"

The two brothers were full of resentment. Today, they had lost face, their proud physical strength completely defeated by Lin Xiao.

Now, the commotion at Reflection Cliff was being investigated by many, especially news about Lin Xiao. The news of Lin Xiao breaking the arms of two body cultivators from Nine Radiance Peak quickly spread.

When many disciples of Nine Radiance Peak heard this news, they were furious, "Who will go teach Lin Xiao a lesson and restore our Nine Radiance Peak's honor?"

"I will!"

A burly man with a voice like a bell spoke, drowning out other voices.

"It's Senior Brother Hong!"

Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].

Seeing the giant man like a small mountain, everyone felt assured.

"Senior Brother Hong's realm is in the late Condensing Yuan Realm, so challenging Lin Xiao wouldn't be using realm to suppress him."

Many disciples of Nine Radiance Peak felt it was appropriate to send Hong Yuanshan. First, Hong Yuanshan's realm hadn't reached the Sea Transformation Realm, which complied with the sect's rule of not using realm to suppress others. Secondly, Hong Yuanshan was a strong body cultivator, his body refined to the point where his skin was as tough as a Spiritual Weapon!

Sending him to regain face was more than suitable.

Reflection Cliff.

After closing the door, Lin Xiao ignored the external disputes.

He spent five days comprehending the first level of the Ancient Ancestral Dragon Art. His comprehension seemed maxed out, with no obstacles in understanding.

"The first level of the Ancient Ancestral Dragon Art, once cultivated, can transform the impure blood within into true dragon blood, possessing True Dragon Power!"

Lin Xiao took a deep breath, clenching his fists, feeling his strength had become terrifying. This was the change brought by the Flood Dragon blood.

"True Dragon Power must be stronger than Flood Dragon Power, but how strong will it be, and what changes will it bring to myself?"

Lin Xiao was very much looking forward to it.

He activated the Ancient Ancestral Dragon Art, and as the technique operated, the surrounding spiritual energy was instantly drained, condensing into a small dragon of spiritual energy above his head.

"So domineering? As expected of an Emperor-level Technique!"

Lin Xiao opened his Storage Ring, lacking no cultivation resources. Inside were tens of thousands of Spirit Stones and a large number of Gathering Qi Pills.

The cultivation resources of Zixiao Peak were indeed monopolized by him. His master no longer needed them, and his Senior Sister was often stationed in Feixue City, leaving him to monopolize the resources of an entire peak.

After Lin Xiao drained the surrounding spiritual energy, people from the other nine grass huts immediately cursed.

"Who drained all the spiritual energy? How is anyone supposed to cultivate?"

A burly man with a full beard opened the door of his grass hut, cursing.

"I noticed earlier that all the spiritual energy flowed into Lin Xiao's grass hut."

A young sword cultivator came out, looking towards Lin Xiao's grass hut with a puzzled expression. What kind of technique could instantly drain the surrounding spiritual energy? Could it be the Dragon Clan Technique Lin Xiao obtained from the Comprehension Stone Stele?
