. After making every arrangement perfectly detailed, Lin Xiao set out alone that same day for Tiandou Imperial City.
There lay not only the opportunity for his rise to prominence, but also a person he had long dreamed of.
After over a month of travel, the towering walls of Tiandou Imperial City finally appeared before Lin Xiao's eyes.
Even though he had visited this place many times in his past life, and even lived there for a long time, each sight of this majestic city still left him deeply awestruck.
"Tiandou Imperial City, I'm back again."
After calming himself, Lin Xiao immediately went to the residence of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
After handing over the certificate of nobility Su Qianxue had previously given him, he was soon summoned by Qian Renxue.
Entering the residence, Lin Xiao was led by guards to an elegant study. Inside, Qian Renxue was impersonating Crown Prince Xue Qinghe! Sitting at a desk, a scroll in hand, her expression focused and calm.
"Lin Xiao, greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Qian Renxue put down the scroll in her hand and looked up at the young man in front of her. There was a hint of admiration in her eyes.
"That's right! At the age of just over 8 years old, you're already a level 24 Great Soul Master. Your talent is better than I thought."
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your praise. Lin Xiao was just lucky, it's not worth mentioning."
Qian Renxue nodded, and then her tone became serious:
"Lin Xiao, Su Qianxue has already told me about what happened in Notting City... However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan and my Tiandou Royal Family are on good terms now.
I can't do justice for you, I can only keep you safe. Do you have any complaints?"
"Your Highness, don't worry. I will personally settle the account with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan."
"Okay, okay! Lin Xiao, I didn't misjudge you. I can promise here that if one day you have the strength to compete with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan, I will do my best to help you and eliminate this cancer of the empire!"
Lin Xiao looked at Qian Renxue with some surprise, but he soon understood the reason.
Although the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan was currently on good terms with the Tiandou Imperial Family, Qian Renxue, as an undercover agent for the Spirit Hall posing as the Crown Prince, naturally hoped to use her power to weaken the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan's influence.
"In that case, thank you, Your Highness. However, I'm here to study at the Tiandou Imperial Academy. I'd also like to inquire about the whereabouts of Ye Renxin, the Nine-Hearted Begonia."
Qian Renxue raised a brow at this.
"If you want to study at the Tiandou Imperial Academy, that's not difficult. I can write a letter of recommendation. But since the academy is on vacation right now, there's no need to rush."
"As for Ye Renxin..." Do you know him?"
Lin Xiao replied, "I've also studied traditional medicine, and Senior Ye's skills are unparalleled on the continent, so I'd like to pay him a visit." "
Haha! I didn't expect you to have such a hobby... That's all, as long as it doesn't interfere with your cultivation.
His residence is in a quiet valley on the eastern outskirts of Tiandou Imperial City, called 'Haitang Valley'.
After bidding farewell to Qian Renxue, Lin Xiao immediately rushed to "Haitang Valley". In just half an hour, he arrived at a quiet and peaceful valley.
The rich aroma of medicine wafted in the air, and people could smell it from a long distance away.
At this time, a beautiful figure appeared in his sight. It was a girl of about twelve years old, who was squatting on the ground, carefully treating an injured rabbit.
The martial spirit that emerged in her hand - the Nine-Hearted Begonia - revealed her identity - Ye Lengleng.

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment when he saw this figure. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
Memories of his past life flooded into his mind like a tide. At that time, he was seriously injured with a broken arm and was dying. It was Ye Lengleng who appeared in front of him with the Nine-Hearted Begonia in her hand and pulled him back from the gates of hell.
From that moment on, her appearance was forever engraved in his heart. However, at that time, he was a broken body, disheartened, and just an insignificant Soul King. How could he dare to dream of anything?
After returning to the Holy Soul Village, Lin Xiao often couldn't help but ask about Ye Lengleng's news. He knew that she traveled all over the continent, curing diseases and saving people, and was called the "Medical Fairy".
But he never went to look for her, but every time he heard news about her, he would secretly rejoice.
"Ye Lengleng, in this life, I will no longer hide in obscurity and secretly watch you.
I want to travel the continent with you, saving lives and healing the wounded! But... can I really pursue her?"
At this thought, Lin Xiao's heartbeat became even more uncontrollable, and even his words became stammering. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.
"This... this lady! Excuse me... does Medical Saint Ye live here?"
Upon hearing this voice, Ye Lengleng's face flashed with joy, and she whispered to herself, "It's Lin... he's here."
Before she finished speaking, she immediately stood up and looked at Lin Xiao.
She also stared at Lin Xiao blankly for a long moment, unsure what she was thinking.
However, seeing Lin Xiao's nervousness and flushed face, she came to her senses and smiled.
"Little brother, why are you blushing? Haha, what are you doing looking for my grandfather? Are you sick?"
Lin Xiao's mind was blanking at this moment, and he didn't notice the strange expression on Ye Lengleng's face. He stammered,
"Uh... Miss! My name is Lin Xiao. Can you please stop calling me little brother? I'm not little... Uh, no, I just don't want to be your brother."
Ye Lengleng couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha! Fine, I'll call you Lin Xiao, but you can't call me little girl either. In exchange, you can call me Lengleng!"
"But why are you looking for my grandfather? He's giving a lecture in the clinic!"
Lin Xiao slowly calmed down and took out the box of silver needles and the letter of recommendation from his ring.
"Lengleng, I'm here to learn medicine from Doctor Ye. This is the letter of recommendation from my teacher. Actually, your grandfather is also my master's master!"
Ye Lengleng took the letter, examined it carefully for a moment, and a flicker of surprise crossed her face.
"I didn't expect you'd learn traditional medicine. Come on! I'll take you to see Grandpa."
"But he doesn't like to be disturbed during his lectures. Remember to be quiet once you get in."
With that, she turned and headed deeper into the valley. Lin Xiao hurriedly followed, feeling a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.
The two walked through the medicinal garden and came to an ancient medical house. From inside the medical house came Ye Renxin's low and powerful voice, obviously he was teaching medical skills to his disciples.
Ye Lengleng gently pushed open the door of the medical house, took Lin Xiao's hand, and walked in quietly.
She didn't notice that Lin Xiao's face had turned red again because of her holding his hand, and even his breathing became rapid and his heartbeat was even faster.
It was not until the two of them found two empty seats and sat down, listening to Ye Renxin explaining the characteristics and uses of a medicinal herb, that Lin Xiao's mood slowly calmed down.
