Chapter 1469 – House Yu’s Arrival

After the water element refinement fire appeared, Lin Yi continued converting his qi into the other elements of metal, wood, and earth- in other words, Lin Yi was now a five-element refiner, the type of refiner no one had become or tried to become in history.

Normally, spending an entire life just to get one type of refinement fire was good enough already. Sometimes, when one’s body conflicted with other elements, getting another refinement fire as a support already made that refiner one of a kind. The ones who had three refinement fires of different elements would be considered geniuses- and those beyond that... Zhang Liju had never seen anything like that before!

Even those with powerful practitioner’s arts wouldn’t be able to create that many refinement fires!

Was Lin Yi a genius or an idiot, though? Lin Yi smiled bitterly- he may have been able to make five refinement fires, but that didn’t mean much- Elder Jiao said himself that the qi inside of him was an all-purpose qi of all elements, so it was no surprise that he was able to create all the fire types.

The problem was whether or not he could control the temperature of the fires, and use them to make high level medicine and elixirs instead of just common ones. Lin Yi’s level meant that he could only make the common elixirs that weren’t even considered Golden class first level- and those elixirs were simply things that you could just mix up without even needing refinement fire. In fact, using the fire here would make the elixir much weaker than being made through conventional means.

But Lin Yi didn’t feel disappointed at all, since this was just a side hobby that he was practising, and it wouldn’t affect his future or current life whether or not it was successful.

He didn’t have a mentor guiding him too, just some refiner’s notes written with dry words. Lin Yi hadn’t even approached anything like this before, so with the amount of time he had spent, his results were quite satisfactory already.

And so, he decided that he would practice this when he had time, training both flames of different elements on his palms. He only tried using his left hand to make one fire, waiting until it extinguished by itself before using the other hand to make a different type of fire- he had never done it simultaneously with both hands before.

Naturally, doing this was only because it was fun- he was planning to use it to have barbeque with Tangyun, the Miss, and Shu to see- they would probably be quite entertained... Would Xiaoxiao have woken up by that point?

But this journey wasn’t easy. All of a sudden, some Ice Palace sect showed up like a big tiger blocking his path- now he didn’t know what to expect.

The next morning, Lin Yi went out of the inn as usual to check on Xiaoxiao- he was always using his senses to keep Xiaoxiao safe in his mind, but in the mornings, he would make a trip to see her.

In fact, with the temperature at this place, the ice container wasn’t even needed- the human body could be frozen rock solid even without it.

Locking the car, Lin Yi was ready to go back when a few more cars came driving by- probably heading for this parking spot.

Lin Yi wasn’t surprised at this- judging from what Qikun said, many more people would be coming in these next two days.

He didn’t know these people and didn’t want to talk to them too much. He would rather let Qikun speak to them, Lin Yi just wanted to gather his intel. Speaking too much would only expose himself.

But, after the cars started parking, Lin Yi saw someone he knew come down from one of them!

Seeing him, Lin Yi’s heart tensed- if they had met in another situation, Lin Yi might have pretended to not know him, but here, Lin Yi needed someone he could trust to talk with, and the situation was just right for this.

There were some things that Lin Yi didn’t want to face- thinking back to his old self, he would always get emotional. Hidden houses... A power that he used to see as supreme and at the peak.... Now he was enemies with most of them, with even the hidden House Yu included!

Elder Yu didn’t know that he was Lin Yi but with the common House Yu stuff going on, there was no way the hidden House Yu would just sit around doing nothing

Lin Yi stood there without moving, and evidently that person had seen him as well, pausing. Ignoring everybody else, he walked over to Lin Yi!

“Yu Bing, long time no see.” Lin Yi smiled.

“You... Why are you here? You’re joining the Ice Palace test too?” Yu Bing was shocked- why would Lin Yi be here?

“Come to my room after you’ve settled in, if you have time. Room 201, Ling Yi,” Lin Yi said as he reminded him of his ‘name’. Hopefully he understood.

“Alright, see you later then, brother Ling!” Yu Bing nodded, saying goodbye for now.

Thinking of his relationship with Yu Ning, it was normal for him to call Lin Yi little brother Ling. After all, if things had worked out, that would very well be what he’d be calling him.

Lin Yi nodded and went back to the inn.

At that time, Yu Shan walked out as well, seeing Lin Yi’s figure walk away, “I didn’t expect this, big brother- you’re pretty good, making an ally right off the bat!”

“It’s a friend from back when I was in practical training,” Yu Bing naturally didn’t have the intention to talk too much about this to Yu Shan- they weren’t really in the same team, after all, so of course he would hide Lin Yi’s identity.

“That’s the son of the head of the house for you, going out to the real world for practical training- other people would just have the heir stay in their houses, and I wouldn’t even be able to come out if it weren’t for the test this time!” Yu Shan pouted.

Behind Yu Shan’s car was House Pi’s- they had met on the road before, along with a few more other people from different hidden houses and sects. Though, Pi Zhishan and Pi Zhihai had never personally saw Lin Yi before, only hearing of his name. Nobody would suspect him of being Lin Yi for now.

Pi Zhishan looked at the Yu brothers who were fighting right from the get-go, and a mocking smile appeared on his face! In comparison, Pi Zhihai and him were a much better team, since Zhihai always focused on practitioning with no intention of inheriting the family.

As for the Yu Shan’s mocking, there wasn’t much Yu Bing could do- that was what happened when the young generation of House Yu were all excellent talents. Although this was a good thing for the house, it was also a tragedy- the brothers would only learn to plot against each other and eventually lead to the end of the house itself.
