Central Plains Southern Region-Heavenly Star City
"The revenge for the Xi Yue Clan has been taken, so what's next?"
After leaving Baiting City, Xiao Lin wandered aimlessly around Central Plains.
Before coming to Central Plains, Xiao Lin felt there were many things to do.
But after arriving in Central Plains, Xiao Lin felt somewhat lost again.
"How about we find a place to improve our skills first?"
Xiao Lin couldn't help but think.
As for the words "Yellow Springs" that Qi Zhong, the patriarch of the Qi Household, shouted at the last moment when he destroyed the Qi Household, he certainly knew that it referred to the Yellow Springs Pavilion, one of the Four Pavilions in Central Plains.
However, with his current strength, he is no longer afraid of this bottom-ranked power among the first-class forces in Central Plains.
Excluding the Eight Great Emperor Clans, the top-tier forces in Central Plains are One Hall, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, Four Pavilions.
It's not hard to tell from this rhyme that Four Pavilions ranks last among the top-tier forces in Central Plains.
Of course, the Starfall Pavilion with Yao Lao was an exception back then.
Now, it has been about ten years since the Yao Lao disappeared from Central Plains.
The current strength of the Starfall Pavilion is roughly equivalent to that of the other three pavilions.
However, overall, there are still slight differences between the Four Pavilions.
As far as Xiao Lin knew, the Wind Lightning Pavilion was probably the strongest, the Starfall Pavilion and the Sword Pavilion were about equal, and the Yellow Springs Pavilion was the weakest!
This is the current strength of the Four Pavilions.
Furthermore, each of the Four Pavilions only has one Dou Venerable in charge, so Xiao Lin isn't backing down at all!
Therefore, Xiao Lin didn't care whether the Qi Household and the Yellow Springs Pavilion were related or not.
Unless the last two words spoken by Qi Zhong, the patriarch of the Qi Household, referred to the Yellow Springs Demon Saint!
He'll probably have to run away immediately.
But is that even possible?
The answer is clearly no.
And so, after avenging his daughter-in-law's clan's extermination, Xiao Lin began to wander aimlessly around Central Plains.
Of course, during this period, Xiao Lin would occasionally stop in some of the cities he passed through.
During this period, Xiao Lin would purchase some materials for refining weapons in these cities.
As mentioned before, Xiao Lin had another purpose in coming to Central Plains: to forge a suitable weapon.
Although he now possesses Mithril Essence, one of the top-tier refining materials, it's not enough to forge a weapon that truly suits his taste.
Therefore, Xiao Lin naturally needed to collect them from all over the place.
Unfortunately, while he had indeed found quite a few auxiliary materials for refining weapons, Xiao Lin was struggling with the main materials.
The main reason is that Xiao Lin has too high standards; he doesn't even look at materials that aren't top-tier!
This is why he has been dragging it out until now.
On this day, Xiao Lin wandered around and eventually arrived at the Southern Region of the Central Plains.
"Heavenly Star City? What a great name! It's magnificent!"
Before reaching this city, Xiao Lin stopped and couldn't help but praise it.
Before Xiao Lin lay a large city.
With just one glance, Xiao Lin sensed the presence of a protective array around Heavenly Star City.
The cities capable of setting up such a defensive formation are naturally far superior to the small cities Xiao Lin had previously encountered.
"Brother, you have excellent taste! This Heavenly Star City is one of the major cities under the Starfall Pavilion, and it is also home to several powerful experts at the Dou Zong Realm!"
Just as Xiao Lin was sighing, someone suddenly spoke up beside him.
"Oh? This Heavenly Star City is under the jurisdiction of the Starfall Pavilion?"
Seeing that someone had spoken to him, Xiao Lin immediately asked with a curious expression.
In fact, the main reason Xiao Lin became interested was because the person who spoke to him mentioned the words "Starfall Pavilion".
To be honest, Xiao Lin didn't expect that he would end up in the territory of the Starfall Pavilion, one of the Four Pavilions, while wandering around aimlessly.
However, Xiao Lin's question caused the smile on the face of the person who had just spoken to him to freeze.
"Hmm, sir, are you unaware of the forces under the Starfall Pavilion in Heavenly Star City?"
The young man who had spoken to Xiao Lin looked at him with an expression as if he were looking at an alien and asked him a question in return.
He had initially thought the other party knew that Heavenly Star City belonged to the Starfall Pavilion, which was why they praised it. It turned out they had no idea!
This is very awkward.
"I'm so sorry, I'm new here, so --"
Looking at the young man in front of him, who clearly had misunderstood something, Xiao Lin also felt somewhat embarrassed.
"No problem, no problem at all. Let me give you a brief introduction to Heavenly Star City!"
Composing himself, the young man smiled again and spoke.
It's clear that this young man is of high character.
Xiao Lin then followed the young man into Heavenly Star City.
During this time, the young man also explained to Xiao Lin various things about Heavenly Star City and its relationship with the Starfall Pavilion.
At the same time, Xiao Lin also learned some information from his conversation with the young man.
First of all, this young man, named Xu Mo, is not only the son of the city lord of Heavenly Star City, but also a disciple of the Starfall Pavilion. At the age of only twenty-seven or twenty-eight, he is already a Dou Emperor!
Yes, Dou Emperor at the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight.
If this were in the Northwest Continent, he would definitely be considered a genius among geniuses!
Of course, even in Central Plains, it's quite remarkable that he became Dou Emperor at such a young age.
It was precisely because of this dual identity that he struck up a conversation when he saw Xiao Lin sighing.
"I never expected that you, young friend, would possess the cultivation of Dou Emperor at such a young age, and be a disciple of the Starfall Pavilion. Truly remarkable!"
Since Xiao Lin currently appears to be around forty years old, it's perfectly acceptable for him to address Xu Mo, who is twenty-seven or twenty-eight, as "young friend."
"Not at all. There are many people in this world stronger than me. Senior Lin, I wonder what brings you to my Heavenly Star City? If there's anything I can do, I'd be happy to extend my hospitality!"
During their conversation, Xu Mo had actually tested Xiao Lin.
However, both his temperament and his cultivation of Dou Qi made Xu Mo feel that he was as deep and unfathomable as an abyss.
That's why he changed his address to Xiao Lin as "senior".
Xu Mo was quite certain that the cultivation level of the person in front of him was definitely no less than that of his father and the Elders of the Starfall Pavilion!
This is why he values Xiao Lin so much right now.
As the son of the city lord of Heavenly Star City, this was his duty!
After all, to put it bluntly, if the other party wanted to cause trouble in Heavenly Star City, that wouldn't be good news.
Although his conversation with Lin had convinced him that Senior Lin wasn't a bad person, there's always a chance, isn't there?
Therefore, it is essential to understand the purpose of Senior Lin to Heavenly Star City.
Because of Xu Mo's respectful attitude from beginning to end, even Xiao Lin couldn't find any fault with him.
Of course, since Xiao Lin himself didn't have any bad feelings towards Heavenly Star City, he naturally wouldn't be offended by Xu Mo's current attitude.
