The elders looked at me, and I looked at you, with a chuckle, "So everything was under the Valley Master's control, we were too rash."
"Hehe!"
The Medicine Saint just chuckled without speaking, then promptly left.
On the other side, Lin Yifan returned to his room and immediately wrote down the techniques he performed in the morning.
According to the records on the Beixuan Sword Technique, he retained thirty percent of the true content and made wild changes to the rest based on the general direction.
Soon, these techniques were written down; Lin Yifan carefully reviewed them repeatedly, and after confirming there were no issues, submitted them to the elders.
The elders received the new techniques submitted by Lin Yifan, opened them to view, and studied them earnestly.
They found the techniques indeed very mysterious, different from ordinary ones; they were uncertain if these were really Lin Yifan's own creations, as he claimed.
To verify the effectiveness of these techniques, they practiced a few steps as written.
The result was fairly effective, yet something felt off, not as powerful and mighty as the Immortal Level Martial Arts Lin Yifan displayed that morning.
"This boy is indeed very cunning!" The Fifth Elder commented.
There wasn't much wrong with what Lin Yifan wrote, nor with his answers, leaving them with no options.
"Forget it, let the Valley Master deal with him!"
The Great Elder suggested, after all, some things aren't yours and can't be forced.
The elders felt this was the only way; because of the Medicine Saint's protection, they indeed couldn't act against Lin Yifan.
After this storm passed, Lin Yifan became even more wary of the Medicine Saint.
This old man monitored every corner of the Medicinal Saint Valley, and he couldn't enter the blue Immortal Ring for cultivation. Additionally, taking things out of the ring required even more caution.
Three days later, in the morning, Lin Yifan was walking by the river, enjoying the riverside scenery.
The Medicinal Saint Valley had many willow trees, especially by the river, where they could be seen everywhere.
The graceful silhouettes of the willow trees added a beautiful view to the weed-covered riverside.
Looking at this scenery, Lin Yifan felt like reciting a poem; however, just as he cleared his throat to recite, a figure suddenly appeared behind him and patted his shoulder.
"Hey! Brother Lin, what are you up to?"
Lin Yifan was startled by the sudden action. He quickly looked to the left and saw a familiar figure.
It was none other than Du Yuze, who insisted on supporting him a few days ago.
To appear beside him so inconspicuously and stealthily, his realm must be much higher.
Lin Yifan didn't understand why this powerful brother kept pestering him, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why is it you again? What do you want with me?"
"Oh, nothing much, just wanted to enjoy the riverside scenery with Brother Lin," Du Yuze replied gracefully.
"Pretend all you want, don't think I don't know your little schemes?" Lin Yifan rolled his eyes.
Nobody would waste their time enjoying riverside scenery with you unless it's your significant other; thus, Du Yuze must have an agenda.
"Brother Lin actually knows my little schemes, then everything becomes easier. Don't worry, Brother Lin, I will definitely assist you in ascending to the Young Valley Master's position."
Du Yuze got straight to the point, no longer concealing his intentions.
Lin Yifan suddenly realized, so this guy is trying to win him over. It seems his calculations were quite meticulous, but unfortunately, he misjudged his ambition.
He didn't care about being the Young Valley Master, only about supreme power; because power could get you everything you want.
So he answered coldly, "Brother Du, you're going to be disappointed, I do not care about the position of Young Valley Master; so don't bother assisting me."
"Brother Lin, are you joking with me? Which disciple in the Medicinal Saint Valley doesn't covet this position, don't be embarrassed, it's no big deal, with me covering for you, everything will be fine."
Du Yuze was initially surprised, then quickly relieved, thinking Lin Yifan might be timid or shy, not daring to compete with senior brothers of higher rank and strength.
After all, just entering the sect, he hadn't established his footing or built any connections, naturally not daring to offend those powerful senior brothers.
"Brother Du, I'm not joking with you, I'm really not interested in the Young Valley Master position, please let me go," Lin Yifan pleaded, not wanting to say more.
"No, Brother Lin, why is that? Ascending to the Young Valley Master position would make the Medicinal Saint Valley yours in the future, what a great thing!"
Du Yuze was very puzzled, not understanding why Lin Yifan was like this.
"I don't want to pursue fame and fortune, just want to be with my beloved, transcending worldly matters," Lin Yifan answered.
"Please! Can you not be so lofty? Ever since you started cultivation, you can't disentangle from this world. Even if you don't want trouble, trouble will find you; so fight for what you must, don't be soft-hearted."
Du Yuze urged earnestly.
This thought of Lin Yifan really shocked him, he wondered if Lin Yifan truly thought this way or was just finding an excuse to politely decline him.
Actually, Du Yuze made some good points, but Lin Yifan had higher pursuits and didn't want to waste time on this small Young Valley Master position, so he responded, "Sorry, Brother Du, really don't waste time on me, I will disappoint you."
"Brother Lin, you won't disappoint me; with your potential, it wouldn't take long before you surpass me, as well as the senior brothers; so the Young Valley Master position is none other than yours."
"Brother Du, how many times have I said, I'm really not interested in competing for the Young Valley Master position, you better find someone else more suitable."
Lin Yifan really didn't want to bother with this guy, turned around, and left.
Du Yuze chased after him, still trying to convince him, "Brother Lin, don't be afraid, with me covering for you, the senior and second brothers won't bully you."
He had already publicly abandoned the second senior, couldn't go back; so he could only cling to Lin Yifan.
"Get lost, would you? I rarely get a moment of peace." Lin Yifan shouted angrily.
If he had the ability to beat Du Yuze, he would definitely make a move.
"As long as Brother Lin goes for it, fights for it, I won't disturb you anymore," Du Yuze replied.
"Incomprehensible!"
Lin Yifan shook his head helplessly, sighed, then used Qinggong, flying towards Peach Blossom Pond.
There was an identity restriction, if you weren't a "resident" there, you weren't allowed to enter; so reaching Peach Blossom Pond, his ears would be at peace.
Indeed, once he reached Peach Blossom Pond, Du Yuze dared not follow.
Even so, Du Yuze was relentless, shouting, "Brother Lin! Go back and think it over, I'll be waiting for you!"
Lin Yifan was really annoyed by this guy, with such a person around, his future days would be even tougher.
"Damn! Is this guy mentally ill or what?"
Lin Yifan couldn't help but grumble and complain.
