Normally, sects that rank highly must also have extraordinary cultivation techniques.

But that only means those sects possess at least one powerful cultivation technique, not many.

Ordinary martial artists, unlike Lin Zheyu, have limited energy and can only major in a few techniques.

Lin Zheyu doesn't have this limitation. His strength over ordinary martial artists is that he can practice many powerful martial arts.

What he needs is not just one powerful technique, but many.

Ideally, techniques that are astonishing in power but have even more terrifying side effects—these are Lin Zheyu's favorites.

Back then, with an ordinary martial skill, the Mountain Shattering Palm, Lin Zheyu managed to practice it to a point where he could use it freely, displaying the terrifying power of a sixfold Qi and Blood Burst Skill.

"Let's look into which sect collects the most bizarre and powerful techniques, and join that sect."

Lin Zheyu made his decision.

He began to search around for information.

However, such information is quite hard to come by.

By the time he left Ruyang City and returned to the inn, night had already fallen.

Lin Zheyu saw Liang Yunhui and Liang Yuhan, the mother and son, sitting by the window. Opposite them were two strong-looking men.

"Mr. Zhao, over here!"

Seeing Lin Zheyu return, Liang Yunhui shouted excitedly.

Lin Zheyu smiled and nodded at her, then walked over and sat down beside them.

"Who are these two?"

Lin Zheyu turned to Liang Yuhan and asked curiously.

The two martial artists had quite decent strength: one was at the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, and the other was at the Qi Blood Four Transformations.

The Bone Marrow Refining Realm martial artist's aura was not very strong, just slightly stronger than Lei Chuangcheng, who had forcibly enhanced his strength to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm using a Combined Attack Skill.

He likely just recently broke through.

"Let me do the introductions."

"I am Pei Jian, from the Pei Family in Ruyang City West District."

"That beast is your pet, isn't it? I wonder if you'd be willing to part with it and sell it to me. Name your price."

The Bone Marrow Refining Realm martial artist said calmly.

His tone conveyed an undeniable authority.

Lin Zheyu couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly. He replied calmly, with a slightly cold expression, "Sorry, I won't sell it for any price."

"Why not hear the price first?"

"If you're willing to part with it, I am willing to offer a thousand taels of silver, plus a Bone Marrow Refining Elixir that can increase your chances of breaking through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm."

"What do you think?"

Pei Jian said calmly.

In his view, an outsider martial artist like Lin Zheyu had come to Ruyang City seeking an opportunity to break through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm.

The Bone Marrow Refining Elixir, known to increase the chances of breaking through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm, is highly valuable and can't be found on the market, monopolized by major families and forces.

Lin Zheyu was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but glance at Xiaohei, who was lying on its back with a bulging belly and squinting eyes.

'What the heck, is Xiaohei really worth this much!'

Lin Zheyu was extremely surprised.

To be honest, hearing the price, he was somewhat tempted.

A thousand taels of silver, plus a Bone Marrow Refining Elixir.

Although he hadn't heard of this elixir before, the fact it could increase his chances of breaking through to the Bone Marrow Refining Realm meant its value was undoubtedly high.

Compared to the Bone Marrow Refining Elixir, a thousand taels of silver were just an extra.

"I wonder what kind of beast Xiaohei is, to be worth such a hefty price." Lin Zheyu couldn't help but ask.

"It's an Ink Fox. Although it looks as fat as a pig, it really is an Ink Fox."

"This type of beast is extremely popular in noble families, especially a female Ink Fox, which is adored by the young ladies and gentlemen of noble families."

Pei Jian stated directly, without concealment.

In his opinion, the Ink Fox didn't hold much value for Lin Zheyu. Selling it to him would be its greatest value.

"Ink Fox?"

Lin Zheyu was very curious but refrained from asking further.

He didn't know much about types and names of beasts, and hadn't even heard of the Ink Fox.

However, being favored by the young ladies and gentlemen of noble families, it definitely had something extraordinary.

He couldn't help but look back at Xiaohei, yet couldn't see what was so adorable about a pig-like fat Xiaohei.

'Could it be that Xiaohei is a beast with great potential?'

Lin Zheyu couldn't help but wonder, wanting to kick the snoozing Xiaohei to wake it up.

Initially, he kept Xiaohei around mainly because it was smart enough to help him hunt; he never imagined Xiaohei would grow into a powerful beast.

By the time it matures, he wouldn't even know what level he would have reached.

"Sorry, not selling."

Lin Zheyu shook his head.

No matter how high the price, he didn't want to sell.

Throughout the journey, he and Xiaohei had gotten along well.

The little thing, being raised by his side, had formed a bond between man and beast.

He couldn't bring himself to sell Xiaohei for money.
