Lin Xuehan's figure stood proudly on the high platform. When the cold wind blew, her long sleeves fluttered in the wind, making her look like a goddess that stood above the nine heavens from afar. Her cold face revealed an arrogance, as though there was nothing in this world that deserved her attention.

Although the crowd had long since heard that the girl had ten cycles of cultivation, they were still shocked to see her leave a palm mark on the tenth space of the stone tablet and were unable to recover from the shock for a long time.

In the hearts of many, there was probably no one else who could compare to this Heavenly Girl of Lin Family in the Martial Academy Selection this time around.

From afar, Lin Xuehan's indifferent gaze swept over to Xiao Yu. Although it was silent, Xiao Yu seemed to be able to feel her emotions.

She had absolute confidence in her own talent and strength. Even if the relationship between Xiao Yu and her Tianming Pavilion advanced any further, even if Xiao Yu were to condense a Five Spirit Rivers in the short span of three months, it would not be able to shake her resolve.

In her heart, everything she had done before was right!

The two looked at each other from a distance. Their gazes only stayed on each other for a split-second before they turned away again. It was impossible for others to notice.

Lin Xuehan was like a proud goddess. Under the envious and respectful gazes of countless people below the stage, she slowly walked down the stage.

"Heh heh, did you see that? No one in the city can match Xue Han's talent and strength. Even if you get the qualifications to register, you still won't be able to enter the Imperial City Martial Academy. Even if you manage to manage to do so, you'll never be able to compare with Xue Han in your entire life! "

Lin Yijie seemed to really want to attack Xiao Yu, as he said this to Lin Xuehan after he walked down the stage.

Xiao Yu remained silent. Without another glance at Lin Xuehan, he turned around and walked into the distance.

"I heard that there will be some excessive confrontations during the Martial Arts Academy Selection. You'd better be careful. If you meet me, I will definitely teach you, an ungrateful ingrate, a lesson!"

Lin Yijie's voice sounded once again, but this time Xiao Yu didn't even turn around and directly left.

Would there be any confrontation in the Martial Arts Academy Selection? He was not surprised by this, but if he met with Lin Family or other people, it was unknown who would teach him a lesson!

Returning to Drunken Star Tower, Xiao Yu was walking up the stairs to his room when suddenly, there was a "plop" sound, causing an old man who was passing by to slip and fall to the ground as he moaned in pain.

"Old man, are you alright?" Although he had two lifetimes of experience with tens of thousands of years of memories, this rebirth had also changed Xiao Yu's personality and made him treat himself as an ordinary youth.

The old man in front of him had a head full of white hair, his face filled with wrinkles, and he was already on the verge of death. The moment he fell, he laid on the ground and continuously moaned, but he did not seem to even have the strength to stand up.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm getting on in age and my legs are not good. Thank you, little brother." The old man was short of breath, his words stuttered as he looked at Xiao Yu gratefully.

Xiao Yu helped the old man to sit down on the side, and helped him to inspect his body. Fortunately, the old man was not injured, he was just too old, and after falling down, he could not get up in one breath, he only needed to rest for a while to recover.

"Little brother, can you help me pick up that thing?" After resting for a moment, the old man's breathing recovered a little as he pointed to the side with a dry finger.

Xiao Yu saw that there was a wooden box at that place, which should have been what the old man had been carrying previously.

He walked forward and picked up the wooden box. Because the wooden box fell to the ground, its lid had already been knocked off. When Xiao Yu picked it up, he subconsciously looked inside the box and could not help but be startled.

Inside the box was a medicinal herb, but the herb itself was incredibly special. It had four leaves, but each leaf had a different color: red, green, gold, and blue.

"Four-colored Orchid Heart Grass?" Xiao Yu was astonished.

It was a type of spiritual medicine. Although that type of spiritual medicine couldn't be counted as extremely precious, it was extremely rare. Normally, no matter how many crystals one had, it was extremely difficult to buy that type of spiritual medicine.

And because this kind of medicine was too rare, many alchemists in the world wouldn't be able to recognize this medicine. Xiao Yu believed that even if an alchemist were to see this thing, they might not necessarily recognize it.

He closed the box again, and without thinking too much, returned it to the old man.

"Little brother, you know this grass?" The old man took the box carefully, and when he saw Xiao Yu's expression, he asked with a smile.

"Yes, I heard about it before." Xiao Yu nodded his head, with his knowledge, adding on his strength that could be considered the pinnacle of all abilities, how many things in this world could he not recognize?

"To tell you the truth, I've searched for a long time for this spiritual medicine and paid a great price to find it. It's used to treat my granddaughter's illness. If I lose it, my granddaughter's life will be lost!" The old man revealed a sad expression as he tightened his grip on the box.

"Treat him?" Xiao Yu frowned.

Although the Four Colored Orchid Heart Grass was rare, it wasn't anything precious, nor was it an amazing medicinal herb. It was also because of this characteristic that many alchemists were not familiar with it.

However, the use of the Four Colored Orchid Heart Grass was extremely targeted. If someone needed to use something like that to cure their illness, the disease they got would certainly not be simple, or else they could use other spiritual medicines to replace it.

"Sigh, my granddaughter suffered from a strange disease when she was born. Only by using this kind of grass can she be cured, and she also has to find a powerful alchemist."

The old man seemed to be extremely grateful to Xiao Yu as he took the initiative to chat with him, and said with a sigh: "Recently, there have been a few kinds of strange pills that came out of the city. Every single Pills are all unheard-of things, and the person who knows how to refine these strange pills must definitely be a powerful alchemist.

The old man's words instantly caused Xiao Yu to be on guard.

Although not many people knew that he was the one pushing the Pills, when he met this old man, the old man immediately mentioned it to him, how could it be so coincidental?

Even if the old man's words were true or false, Xiao Yu did not have the time to care about these things. To him, there was nothing more important than Lin Yurou's Six Soul Lock Heart Incantation, he only wanted to enter the Imperial City Martial Academy, to increase his own strength as fast as possible, and to refine the Nine Revolving Dark Nether Pill.

"Old man, if you have nothing else, I'll be leaving now. There should be someone coming to take care of you within the Drunken Star Tower." With that, Xiao Yu got up and left.

The Drunken Star Tower were plentiful in every aspect, even the Maidservant was equipped with it. This old man must not be an ordinary person since he could live here, so there shouldn't be any problems for him to stay here.

"Since little friend has something to do, then go. Thank you very much, little friend." The old man didn't force it, and his smile was full of gratitude.

Xiao Yu looked for a moment, but could not determine if his smile was real or fake, and immediately left.

After Xiao Yu left, the old man watched his figure as he left, the smile on his face slowly disappearing, his originally turbid eyes becoming extremely profound, he revealed a look of thought.

"This child is so young, yet he is able to recognize the Four Leaf Orchid Heart Grass. Those few Pills should be his handiwork. If that's really the case, then it might really be him who is able to cure the young mistress' illness! "

Standing up from the ground, the old man stood up straight, as if he was a towering mountain.

"I came all the way to this remote city. I just hope that I didn't get nothing." The old man let out a light sigh, and looked in the direction Xiao Yu had left in again.

For some reason, even though he was standing there without moving, he disappeared without a sound, as if there was no one there at all.
