Martial Universe: The system rewards are too many, I'm invincible!

Sensing the attack from behind, Lin Yi's eyes flashed with a cold light. He turned to the side, easily dodging Song Qing's attack. At the same time, his right hand shot out and grabbed Song Qing's wrist with lightning speed.

With a "crack," Song Qing's wrist was snapped on the spot, and at the same time, a violent surge of energy spread up his arm, damaging it.

"what……"

Suddenly, a shrill scream rang out from Song Qing's mouth.

Lin Yi gently pulled Song Qing forward with his right hand, and at the same time kicked Song Qing in the lower back.

The next instant, Song Qing's body flew violently towards the stairs in front of him, and finally landed face down on the stairs with a "thud"!

This is a long story, but in reality it only takes a moment.

After kicking Song Qing away, Lin Yi looked up at the second-floor stairwell, where a tall, slender girl in green stood—Xia Zhilan, the daughter of the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce president.

"Miss Xia, you saw it yourself, Song Qing attacked me first, so you can't blame me for that, can you?"

Lin Yi looked up at Xia Zhilan, shrugged, and said.

Xia Zhilan and Xuan Su were waiting for Lin Yi to arrive in a council hall on the second floor when they suddenly received a report from a servant that Song Qing and Lin Yi had gotten into a conflict. So they prepared to go out and stop the conflict.

When Xia Zhilan reached the second-floor stairwell, she happened to witness Song Qing attacking Lin Yi from behind, and immediately shouted to stop him.

Originally, Xia Zhilan was worried that if Song Qing ambushed and injured Lin Yi, Lin Yi might not be able to participate in the Immortal Pool competition three days later.

But what happened next was beyond Xia Zhilan's expectations.

Lin Yi was not only unharmed by Song Qing, but he also easily beat Song Qing into a pulp.

From Xia Zhilan's perspective, looking down, she could see Song Qing's pathetic, face-planting state, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

Xia Zhilan already disliked Song Qing intensely, and now, looking at that ugly face twisted in pain, she felt even more disgusted.

Song Qing was thrown face-first into the dirt. He tried to get up despite the pain, but as soon as he looked up, he was met with Xia Zhilan's downcast gaze, and his composure crumbled instantly!

Having failed to teach Lin Yi a lesson, Song Qing was instead beaten to a pulp by Lin Yi in two moves, and just as she fell right in front of the goddess she had been pursuing, she was filled with shame and indignation. She spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the steps, immediately losing consciousness!

“This matter is naturally not your fault. Our Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce will negotiate with the Song family.” Xia Zhilan gave Lin Yi a deep look, and then instructed Manager Xia, “Have two people carry Song Qing down and treat him.”

"Yes!"

Manager Xia agreed and quickly arranged for two servants to carry Song Qing away.

Xia Zhilan frowned as she watched the disheveled Song Qing being carried away, then said to Lin Yi, "Let's go, my Aunt Su and the others are still waiting for you."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, climbed the steps, and followed behind Xia Zhilan.

Before long, the two arrived at a council hall.

At this moment, in the council hall, besides Xuan Su, there were two elderly men with gray hair.

Upon seeing Lin Yi and Xia Zhilan arrive, all three of them turned their gazes toward them.

"Where's Song Qing? Why didn't he come?" one of the elders asked, frowning.

Xia Zhilan said calmly, "You didn't want to replace Lin Yi with Song Qing before because you were worried that Lin Yi's strength was not as good as Song Qing's. Now you don't need to worry about that anymore."

"Just now, Song Qing ambushed Lin Yi in the hall, but was defeated by Lin Yi in two moves and was slightly injured. I had someone carry him away for treatment."

"what?!"

"how is this possible?"

Upon hearing Xia Zhilan's words, the two old men exclaimed in surprise, their faces filled with disbelief.

The two elderly men beside Xuan Su were two high-ranking managers in the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce. They had always wanted Song Qing and Xia Zhilan to represent the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce in the Immortal Pool Competition.

Not long ago, they had been trying to persuade Xuan Su to give Lin Yi's spot to Song Qing.

They never expected that the boy named Lin Yi, whom Xuan Su had chosen, would be so strong.

“Miss Zhilan, the battle for the Immortal Pool is of great importance. You can’t lie to us because of personal feelings,” one of the elders said to Xia Zhilan with a solemn expression after a moment’s hesitation.

He still found it hard to believe what Xia Zhilan had just said.

Xia Zhilan sneered, "Song Qing is still receiving treatment downstairs. If you don't believe me, go and see for yourselves. Besides, quite a few people saw what happened in the hall just now!"

"This……"

Upon hearing Xia Zhilan's words, the two old men exchanged a glance and were speechless.

"Hehe, you two, now you should understand that my choice was right, right?" Xuan Su glanced at Lin Yi with her beautiful eyes for a few moments, and then said to the two old men.

The two old stewards chuckled dryly and could only nod, saying, "Steward Su has a discerning eye for talent, we admire you... We have some matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave now."

"Please, both of you," Xuan Su said with a smile.

The two old stewards gave Lin Yi a deep look, then quickly left the council hall to seek confirmation from Song Qing.

Lin Yi watched this scene silently without saying anything.

"Hmph, those two old guys must have received a lot of benefits from the Song family. They've always been loyal to Song Qing," Xia Zhilan snorted, dissatisfied, as she watched the two old men's departing figures.

"The Song family is a weathervane. On the surface, they are close to my Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce, but in secret they have a lot of dealings with the Blood Wolf Gang and even the City Lord's Mansion. This time they even want Song Qing to take advantage of them. How can we let them have their way?"

Xuan Su smiled, then, halfway through her sentence, her beautiful eyes suddenly turned to Lin Yi beside her, and she smiled meaningfully, "Little brother Lin Yi, I knew I hadn't misjudged you..."

"I must thank Steward Su for her high regard," Lin Yi smiled slightly, then added, "By the way, it seems your Chamber of Commerce is holding an auction today?"

“Hehe, since Brother Lin Yi is interested in the auction, let’s go take a look together,” Xuan Su smiled and stood up from her seat.

Lin Yi didn't refuse and left the council hall with Xuan Su and the other two women, heading towards the auction venue.

With Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan present, Lin Yi naturally didn't need to pay the ten Yang Yuan Stones entrance fee, and was directly led by the two to a VIP room.

Fortunately, the delay wasn't too long; when they arrived, the auction had only just begun.

Lin Yi's goal was clear: to buy all spiritual herbs of grade four or above, regardless of type.

"Hehe, Brother Lin Yi is really rich and powerful," Xuan Su said with a charming smile when she saw Lin Yi's indifferent attitude towards the price.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "My master left me some Yang Yuan Pills, which are almost gone. They are nothing in front of your Chamber of Commerce."

As the two chatted and laughed, the auction soon came to an end.

As for the mental techniques that appeared at the auction, Lin Yi naturally didn't let them go either.

After the auction ended, Lin Yi went directly to a guest room arranged by Xuan Su from the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce.

Back in his room, Lin Yi took out the jade tablet he had photographed, which contained the secret techniques of the spirit.

Lin Yi's gaze swept over the jade piece, and he sensed a very faint spiritual force within it. Immediately, with a thought, a wisp of spiritual force floated out from his Niwan Palace and finally invaded the jade piece.

As Lin Yi's mental energy invaded, a stream of information rapidly flowed out from the jade piece, which was eventually received by Lin Yi.

Spiral Wave, an advanced spiritual technique...

Chapter 47 Before the Immortal Pill Pool, one victory and one defeat! [Please continue reading]

Three days passed by in a flash.

In the past three days, Lin Yi has successfully mastered the mysterious technique Spiral Wave. He has also refined the purchased spiritual herbs into pills to aid his cultivation.

Soon, the day of the battle for the Immortal Pool officially arrived.

Early in the morning, Xuan Su personally called Lin Yi and they walked together outside the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce.

When they stepped out of the gate, dozens of fine horses were already waiting there.

Lin Yi glanced around and saw a rather handsome young man in the center of the crowd, chatting with Xia Zhilan with a smile.

"This is the person who replaced Song Qing, named Lin Yi. He defeated Song Qing in two moves three days ago," Xia Zhilan introduced as Lin Yi approached.

"My name is Liu Yi. I greet Brother Lin Yi," the handsome young man said with a smile, bowing slightly to Lin Yi.

Seeing that the other party was being polite, Lin Yi didn't put on any airs and also cupped his hands in greeting to Liu Yi.

"Hehe, everyone's here, let's set off..." Xuan Su, standing to the side, leaped onto a fine horse, gave a soft shout, and led the group of people off towards the outskirts of Yan City.

"Let's go, Brother Lin Yi. Our destination is a deep mountain in the eastern part of Yan City, about an hour's drive away."

Liu Yi called out to Lin Yi, then mounted his horse and quickly caught up with the main force.

Lin Yi smiled faintly and spurred his horse to follow.

……

Lin Yi and his group's destination was located in a deep mountain in the eastern part of Yan City. Because the ownership of the "Danxian Pool" had not been resolved for a long time, both the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce and the Blood Wolf Gang had sent a lot of people to guard the place.

Therefore, the location of this contest over the Immortal Pool was set in the open space next to the Immortal Elixir Pool.

Once the outcome is determined, personnel can be immediately assigned to immerse themselves in the Elixir Pool for cultivation.

After traveling at breakneck speed for more than an hour, the group finally arrived at their destination, a mountaintop deep in the forest.

At this moment, two groups of people were facing each other on the mountaintop, and at the edge of the mountain, a steep cliff rose into the sky.

Beneath the stone wall, there was a clear pool of water, no more than ten feet in size. The water in the pool was particularly magical, half of it was boiling and constantly steaming, while the other half was filled with a bone-chilling cold.

Two completely different attributes exist distinctly in this pool.

Lin Yi's gaze swept over the pool, and he felt a sense of anticipation. Without a doubt, that was the Pill Immortal Pool that they were going to compete for today.

"Steward Su, you're so slow..."

As Lin Yi surveyed the Pill Immortal Pool, a faint voice suddenly rang out.

Lin Yi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly middle-aged man with a blood wolf tattoo on his bare chest, standing at the head of a large group of menacing figures. His gaze was fixed on them.

"This man is Yue Shan, the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang, also known as the Mountain Breaker. He is a powerful expert at the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan realm. In this Flame City, few can rival him," Liu Yi introduced in a low voice beside Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

"Hehe, why is Chief Yue in such a hurry..." Just as Yue Shan finished speaking, a middle-aged man dressed in a brocade robe, who looked somewhat wealthy, smiled and said from the Wan Jin Chamber of Commerce side.

This middle-aged man was none other than Xia Wanjin, the president of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, who, like Yue Shan, was at the Great Perfection of the Yuan Dan Realm.

Yue Shan glanced at Xia Wanjin, then waved his hand and said, "Enough with the nonsense. Now that everyone's here, let's begin. If we drag this out any longer, the energy of the Pill Immortal Pool will dissipate..."

Hearing Yue Shan's words, Xia Wanjin smiled and didn't delay. He chatted with Lin Yi and the other two for a few minutes, introduced their opponents, and then asked the three of them to step forward to prepare for the battle.

"Have you all dawdled enough? Who wants to go first?"

At this moment, a girl of similar age to Xia Zhilan, from the Blood Wolf Gang, stepped forward with a long red whip, looked at Lin Yi and the other two, and said with a sneer.

This girl was none other than Yue Ling, the daughter of Yue Shan, the leader of the Blood Wolf Gang.
