The competition for the Danxian Pool is quite important to the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild, and the spots for participation must be carefully selected.
"I have no objection!" Lin Dong immediately agreed.
Xia Wanjin had already agreed to help the Lin Clan restrain Yue Shan. Now that he needed to help the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild, there was naturally no reason for Lin Dong to refuse.
"Then let's begin!"
Xia Zhilan also agreed.
As the eldest daughter of the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild, she had her own pride. She couldn't compare to Lin Yun, but she didn't think she was worse than Lin Dong. She had never lost to anyone in a competition at the same realm.
"Be gentle, don't be too rough!"
Lin Yun reminded Lin Dong in a low voice, worried that the boy's straightforward nature would erupt, just like when he dealt with Xie Yingying, without regard for severity.
"I know, Brother Lin Yun, I'll be careful."
Lin Dong nodded and followed Xia Zhilan into the spacious courtyard.
The two exchanged bows and then released their Origin Power, beginning their fight.
Because of Lin Yun's transmigration, Lin Dong had advanced growth, and under Lin Yun's guidance, he cultivated even harder, and his combat ability was on par with Lin Yun's.
It could be said that besides Lin Yun, it was difficult for him to find an opponent at the same realm.
Xia Zhilan used sword techniques, and the sword in her hand was even engraved with rune patterns, making it quite powerful. As soon as she attacked, she launched a series of continuous offensives, trying to suppress Lin Dong and achieve a decisive victory.
However, Lin Dong's Flowing Wind Movement Technique was already perfected, and he had recently cultivated the Fourth Grade Mystic Thunder Step. Facing Xia Zhilan's storm-like attacks, he appeared completely at ease.
"If you have the guts, don't dodge!"
Xia Zhilan was quite annoyed after failing to land an attack for a long time.
This woman is being unreasonable. If I attack, you'll be finished, Lin Dong thought to himself. He was giving the other party face, letting her display her skills first to her heart's content.
This woman's sword technique looks good, but as Brother Lin Yun said, it's too flashy and impractical.
He felt that he didn't even need to use a Fourth Grade Martial Art; the Tongbei Fist would be enough to win.
"Be careful!"
Lin Dong curled his lip, gave a reminder, and then his Origin Power surged out, using the technique of striking through clothing.
*"Slap!"*
He directly punched the hilt of Xia Zhilan's sword.
"Ah..." Xia Zhilan's palm stung, and the sword flew out of her hand.
Lin Dong closed in and delivered a series of rapid strikes... The echoing force of the Tongbei Fist stacked up, punch after punch, directly aimed at Xia Zhilan's face. The air was even vibrated by the force of the punches, creating sonic booms.
Xia Zhilan retreated repeatedly, her face greatly startled. The opponent's fist was only a fist's distance from her face. If it hit her face, it would definitely deform her small face.
"Thank you for the match!"
After Lin Dong finished his Ten Echoing Force strikes, his fist stopped right in front of the other party's face. The force of the punch messed up Xia Zhilan's beautiful hair.
Gulp! Xia Zhilan subconsciously swallowed.
She was somewhat stunned!
Although Lin Dong didn't hit her body, she had been dazed by the attack, and her mind had been thrown into disarray.
"I..."
Xia Zhilan wanted to say something but couldn't. Lin Dong's crushing victory had shattered her pride.
It turned out that the strength she was so proud of was so vulnerable.
"As expected of Master Yan's disciple. This level of strength is far beyond what this little girl possesses. With Lin Dong's help, our chances in the Immortal Pool competition have increased by a few points."
Xia Wanjin beamed with joy, not at all displeased that his daughter had been defeated.
On the contrary, he was very happy.
Pricking Xia Zhilan's arrogance while she was young would be beneficial for her future growth.
"Guild Master, rest assured, Lin Dong's strength is far more than this. He still has his Rune Master techniques that he hasn't used. With him here, we are guaranteed to win at least one round. However, after winning this Dan Pool competition, could he be allowed to enter the Danxian Pool to soak? Lin Dong is now at the late Heavenly Yuan Realm, and he can just use the power of the Danxian Pool to break through to the Core Formation Realm."
Lin Yun spoke at the right time, making his request.
He didn't want Lin Dong to make a move for nothing and not gain any benefits.
After all, the current situation was that the Lin Clan was the one seeking help from the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild first.
"No problem, it should be so!"
Xia Wanjin readily agreed.
Hearing this answer, Xuan Su, who was standing nearby, also breathed a sigh of relief. Putting aside Lin Yun, Lin Dong's talent and strength alone were worth the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild showing goodwill and trying to win him over.
This early investment was entirely beneficial to the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild! "Thank you, Guild Master."
Lin Yun and Lin Dong thanked him again.
Yan Xuan, who was nearby, also couldn't stop smiling.
Only Xia Zhilan stood to the side with a mournful face, looking disappointed.
"Miss Zhi Lan, there's no need to be discouraged. Your strength is good, but you're still a bit lacking in combat experience. Practice more in real combat when you have time, and you'll make up for it."
"The reason Lin Dong is so experienced is because he often fights with demonic beasts. You should know that kind of life-and-death training, as long as you survive, greatly improves both combat ability and psychological quality."
Seeing this, Lin Yun spoke up to comfort Xia Zhilan and give her a way out.
"Little Brother Lin Yun is right. Zhi Lan didn't lose unfairly."
Xia Wanjin nodded, looked at his daughter, and said quite seriously, "You, you only know how to cultivate by yourself and don't interact with others or compete. How can you know the gap between yourself and others?"
Then he turned to look at Lin Dong, "There are still a few days until the Danxian Pool competition. Little Brother Lin Dong, in the remaining few days, could you spar with Zhi Lan to help her improve her combat ability and increase her chances in the Immortal Pool competition?"
"After all, that's not a one-person battle; at least two victories are needed!"
"Father, no..." Xia Zhilan suddenly cried out.
Before Xia Zhilan could speak, Xia Wanjin directly interrupted, "Shut up, do as I say. You don't want to lose the Immortal Pool competition, do you?"
"Brother Lin Yun..." Lin Dong looked at Lin Yun, wanting him to help make a decision, because this Xia Zhilan seemed difficult to get along with.
Hmm? No way, you still need to ask me about this... Lin Yun felt quite helpless. This Little Brother Ou is still too straightforward and has no experience dealing with women.
Of course, Lin Yun doesn't have much experience either.
He couldn't teach Lin Dong, nor could he take it for him.
He said indifferently, "Just help Miss Zhi Lan. President Xia has helped our Lin Clan so much."
"Then I'll try my best!" Lin Dong could only reluctantly agree.
With this matter settled, Lin Dong temporarily stayed at the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild.
Lin Yun and Yan Xuan returned first.
Xuan Su saw them off. At the door, Xuan Su suddenly said,
"Oh, right, Little Brother Lin Yun, the Ten Thousand Gold Commerce Guild will hold an auction in three days. If you're interested, you can come with Master Yan at that time."
"Oh, an auction? I'll definitely be there."
Lin Yun immediately agreed.
He was still very interested in auctions.
With the large sum of Yang Yuan Pills given by Zi Yue, he was not short of money now, and he could see if he could buy some high-grade Spiritual Herbs.
Yan Xuan returned to his Bamboo Garden to continue cultivating the Ancient Swirl Symbol Seal.
Lin Yun went to the Curiosity Shop! He found Steward Liu and asked him to help purchase a large mansion in Flame City as the future residence of the Lin Clan.
Steward Liu was an experienced person and helped Lin Yun solve the problem that afternoon, finding a good courtyard, as well as a large piece of land, enough for the Lin Clan to use in Flame City.
Lin Yun didn't hesitate at the moment, spending hundreds of Yang Yuan Pills to buy it generously.
The next day, Lin Yun returned to Qingyang Town. This time, he planned to bring the core members of the Lin Clan to Flame City.
The resources in Flame City were more concentrated and abundant, and they could develop and grow better in Flame City.
Moreover, both he and Lin Dong were in Flame City, so they could better take care of the clan and avoid being raided.
The family relocation was completed in two days.
Lin Yun made it to Xuan Su's auction.
The Ten Thousand Gold Auction House was held only occasionally and was considered a major event in Flame City. Many treasures would appear at the auction, attracting forces from all sides.
Lin Yun and Yan Xuan entered together, went directly into Xuan Su's private room, and waited for the auction to begin!
