Seven years?
Wang An's expression hardened, but this result was already in line with the original objective.
This was also the most important task that the Han family had assigned to him.
As long as Lin Xiuyuan is willing to accept the challenge, the timing isn't too outrageous.
After all, only by setting a duel can we have a chance to kill Lin Xiuyuan!
"Alright, we'll wait until the next big competition, okay!"
Wang An nodded in agreement, then turned and left, coldly saying, "I hope you can keep your word. Now that the duel has been decided in front of everyone, don't even think about going back on your word. If you break the rules of the main peak, you'll just be a clown in the future!"
Lin Xiuyuan watched Wang An's departing figure, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Admittedly, the other party was after his life, which meant there was great danger involved!
However, seven years is more than enough time for him to make ample preparations.
Seven years is enough time for him to accumulate around 150 Xuanjia Spirit Talismans. He doesn't believe the other party will send another Heavenly Thunder Pearl... After the punishment last time, he believes that neither the Han family nor the Xu family would dare to do it again.
After all, Xu Hua's actions that time were purely personal; he hated Xu Hua to the core and was willing to suffer heavy losses himself.
If this happens a second time, is this a sign that they don't take the Butler's Hall seriously?
At least, Lin Xiuyuan can guarantee his life and property to some extent.
Based on this, Lin Xiuyuan was quite confident.
This matter was unavoidable, otherwise Lin Xiuyuan would never have taken the risk. At present, he could only try to maximize his interests.
"Relying solely on the Xuanjia Spirit Talisman might not be safe enough. I need to save up some contribution points to take a look at the Lingxiao Secret Talisman!"
Lin Xiuyuan muttered to himself, after all, the reason why the Xuanjia Spirit Talisman was so useful was because of its special effect, which automatically activated to protect its master. In terms of its pure defensive power, it was not particularly strong.
In the early stages of Foundation Establishment, there wasn't much of a problem. Now, although the Xuanjia Spirit Talisman also improves with the cultivation level, the amount of mana infused and the spirit patterns drawn increase, naturally leading to a corresponding increase in power.
After all, the Xuanjia Spirit Talisman is only at the level of a low-grade high-level spirit talisman.
However, for those in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, this weakness has become much more apparent, placing them at the bottom in terms of defensive power among low-grade mid-level spirit talismans.
It was now clear that Wang An had powerful backers who were after him and were after his life.
Continuing to rely on the Xuanjia Spirit Talisman is probably not safe enough. Now that we've entered the main peak, the Lingxiao lineage must have suitable defensive talismans!
Upon realizing this, Lin Xiuyuan turned to Wang Qiuhe, cupped his hands, and said:
"Thank you for speaking up, Senior Sister. Otherwise, things wouldn't have ended so well."
Wang Qiuhe said, "Since you're already planning to agree, what difference does it make whether I show up or not? No need to thank me. After all, our two families have this relationship, so I won't ignore it!"
Wang Qiuhe paused, glanced at him calmly, and continued, "But don't misunderstand. This doesn't mean anything; it's just because of the relationship between our two families. You'd better not be too delusional about some things!"
After saying that, Wang Qiuhe turned and left.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan couldn't help but smile wryly.
There's really no way to defend myself on this matter!
With so many people around, it's not good to say anything. If others misunderstand, it will be even harder to explain.
Hopefully, there will be an opportunity to clarify this in the future.
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head inwardly. Seeing that the attention of the Lingxiao disciples was still on him, he cupped his hands and said, "Thank you all for your help. I am very grateful."
"Haha, it's alright. We're all disciples of Lingxiao. Naturally, we can't stand people from other branches coming here to bully others, especially our newly recruited disciples!"
“However, Junior Brother Lin’s actions are somewhat inappropriate. Although you are exceptionally skilled, your cultivation level is still a notch below that of Wang An.”
"…………"
Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan didn't say much. He cupped his hands in greeting again before slowly leaving.
As everyone watched Lin Xiu's departing figure, they were filled with emotion.
"I didn't expect that he would be targeted by the Yunxiao disciples as soon as he arrived at the main peak. It was Senior Brother Wang An. This person's combat strength is extremely impressive. He is only one step away from the late stage. Among those of the same level on the main peak, he has few rivals."
"Junior Brother Lin agreed to this matter rather recklessly. He's still in the early stages of his cultivation; he should have dragged it out more slowly..."
"However, he is after all exceptionally skilled and a formidable individual who withstood the Heavenly Thunder Pearl head-on, so his chances of winning are probably not small, right?"
"That's true, but Junior Brother Lin's cultivation level is ultimately a bit too low, almost a whole major realm below him. Against such a veteran Yunxiao disciple, his chances of winning are probably not high..."
"Fortunately, it's just a duel at the main peak. Even if the chances of winning aren't high, I won't lose my life. At most, I'll just be humiliated!"
Amidst the murmurs of discussion, the Lingxiao disciples who had gathered there gradually dispersed.
Clearly, most people don't have a high opinion of Lin Xiuyuan's chances in this challenge...
...
Most of the day later.
Lin Xiuyuan then rode his escape light away from the main peak.
After leaving the Lingxiao Dojo, Lin Xiuyuan went to check out the Trial Tower. This place was one of the places on the main peak where he could quickly obtain a large number of contribution points. The only remaining way was to participate in the large and small competitions and achieve a top ranking in order to receive rich contribution point rewards.
However, Lin Xiuyuan took a look and realized that it was really unrealistic for him to obtain contribution points through this channel in the short term!
Because he can't even get past the first level of the Trial Tower...
To pass the Trial Tower, one must at least be proficient in the Eight Mystic Spiritual Patterns and low-grade basic Five Elements and Eight Trigrams runes!
