Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 886: Undermining the foundation

The middle-aged cultivator revealed a disdainful sneer, took a step, and his ponderous body charged towards Xi Lin. As he got close to Xi Lin, he threw a punch at a tricky angle aimed at Xi Lin’s abdomen. Xi Lin was already injured; one more heavy blow, and he was certain to lose.

Luo Shu’s eyes narrowed slightly as she watched Xi Lin, curious to see if he could evade the opponent’s punch.

Xi Lin, as if he had anticipated the opponent’s move, suddenly halted his steps when he was half a step away from the middle-aged cultivator. At the same time, he twisted his body at an inconceivable angle, dodging the powerful attack.

As they brushed past each other, Xi Lin quickly launched a counterattack, striking the middle-aged cultivator’s back with a heavy palm. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

A look of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged cultivator, he felt a surging in his chest, his face turned red, and he involuntarily spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Then, the man slowly toppled over and fell forward with a solid "thump" onto the ground.

Seeing his opponent fall, Xi Lin let out a long sigh and slowly lifted his right hand, smiling at the spectators present.

"Xi Lin won! I bet right again!"

"Xi Lin, you’re too amazing! I’m betting on you again, don’t let me down!"

"Xi Lin is truly the undefeated king! It seems he will be this month’s champion again."

Luo Shu looked at Xi Lin on the stage with appreciation and a slight smile curled on her lips, "Let’s go."

"Aren’t you interested in recruiting him into the Divine Doctor Sect?" Yang Muxue asked in surprise.

"We’ll wait for him outside," Luo Shu said with a curved lip. Xi Lin must be at his limit now; he wouldn’t be able to participate in any more matches.

Though the arena attendant showed her great respect due to her cultivation, she couldn’t be so blatant as to poach someone on their territory. That would be too disrespectful to Feng Qianyan.

The trio left the combat arena and took a seat in a teahouse opposite, waiting for Xi Lin to exit.

"Shushu, can you tell which one is Xi Lin?" Yang Muxue took a bite of her pastry and sipped her tea. Both the audience and the contestants in the arena wore masks to block divine sense.

"Mhm!" Luo Shu nodded, smiling as she put down her teacup upon seeing a young man in blue cloth leaving the arena, "He’s out, let’s go talk to him."

Yang Muxue and Murong Bing nodded, put down their teacups, stood up, and followed Luo Shu outside.

Xi Lin felt someone trailing him and stopped, turning his head to see Luo Shu and her companions, his expression one of surprise, "Who are you? Why are you following me?" Their intention was quite clear.

"I need to speak with you, if that’s alright?" Luo Shu asked.

"I don’t know you," Xi Lin looked at Luo Shu, puzzled as to why she would need to talk to him. But her aura was really strong!

"My name is Luo Shu, do we know each other now? Don’t worry! I just want to ask for your opinion on something. If you disagree, I won’t insist," Luo Shu said with an encouraging smile.

After mulling it over, Xi Lin nodded, "Let’s talk over there where it’s quieter." The formidable aura emanating from her indicated she was a strong cultivator. If she truly had any designs on him, with his current strength, he would have no chance of resisting.

The four walked into a quiet alley. Xi Lin stopped and looked at Luo Shu, waiting for her to speak.

"Are you interested in joining a sect?" Luo Shu didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

Xi Lin was taken aback, "Join a sect? Which sect?" He had always entertained the thought of joining a sect, but ever since his elder brother was injured, he had put that idea aside. If he joined a sect, there would be no one to take care of his brother.

The reason he was so dedicated to fighting was to gather Spirit Stones to buy Elixirs for his brother. Only when his brother recovered could he pursue his own dreams.

"The Divine Doctor Sect," Luo Shu said.

Shock crossed Xi Lin’s face, and he looked at Luo Shu in disbelief, "The Divine Doctor Sect you’re referring to, is it that same one known for overshadowing other sects and with a multitude of formidable cultivators?" If it was that Divine Doctor Sect, how should he choose? He couldn’t abandon his brother, but he also didn’t want to miss out on such an opportunity.

"Yes!" Luo Shu confirmed with a nod.

A flash of excitement glimmered in Xi Lin’s eyes but quickly faded away, turning mournful. He truly couldn’t leave his brother behind!

"Is there a problem?" Luo Shu noticed his expression change. She could tell he really wanted to join the Divine Doctor Sect, but something was holding him back.

Xi Lin hesitated, unsure if he should disclose his elder brother’s condition to Luo Shu.

"Go on, perhaps I can help you," Luo Shu said with a smile, encouraging him with her gaze.

After a moment of hesitation, Xi Lin spoke, "My brother is injured; I can’t leave him." His brother’s talent was even better than his. Two years ago, his brother had already been a Spirit Division Late Stage Cultivator.

In pursuit of higher realms, his brother went to the Deadly Mountain Range with Mu Yang and encountered an attack by a Level Six Spirit Beast, sustaining severe injuries. If not for Mu Yang risking his life to carry his brother back, his brother would have perished. But now, his brother was barely clinging to life, barely better than dead.

He heard that only the sap of the Undying Tree and the Soul Nourishing Pill could help his brother recover. The sap of the Undying Tree was not something to hold out hope for, as it was nearly impossible to find, and even if the Soul Nourishing Pill was available, one would cost millions of Top-Quality Spirit Stones. Even if he fought for ten years, he might not earn enough, but he didn’t want to give up, not even if there was just a glimmer of hope.

"Let me see your brother; maybe I can help him," Luo Shu offered.

Xi Lin’s eyes lit up but then dimmed again, "My brother’s meridians are completely severed; it’s hard to recover." He also hoped his brother could recover, but it was easier said than done.

"How can you be sure he can’t be saved without looking?" Luo Shu said with a lifted smile.

Xi Lin pondered for a moment and nodded, "Then come with me." Although he wasn’t optimistic, this was still a sliver of hope.

Guided by Xi Lin, Luo Shu and her companions made their way to a small courtyard. He deactivated the Formation Prohibition outside and led the trio into the house. Besides his combat abilities, Xi Lin’s skills in formation were also decent; he was now a Level Five Array Master.

"My brother is inside," Xi Lin said as he pushed the door to one of the rooms open, addressing Luo Shu and the others.
