64: Get the quota and talk to the city lord

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but twitch their mouths.

When Lin Yuan spoke just now, his words were fluent and smooth, without any unnaturalness, so it was impossible for him to be holding a Medicinal Pill in his mouth.

This woman was clearly fabricating and maliciously slandering.

The man's expression immediately turned cold: "Nonsense! I am a Core Formation Realm Cultivator, and my spiritual sense is extremely keen. No trick can escape my eyes. If he were holding a Medicinal Pill, I would have discovered it long ago. How could I have let him fight until now?"

The woman said unwillingly: "Then why do you say he was able to raise his Cultivation to the Opening Meridian Realm Ninth Level?"

For a moment, everyone showed curious expressions.

Raising one's Cultivation during a battle is not a simple matter. Besides using secret techniques or consuming Medicinal Pills, one can only rely on one's own talent.

According to the previous battle situation, the first two items can be excluded, so it should be due to a special Physique.

And Lin Yuan's next words successfully confirmed their guess.

"I improved my combat power by relying on my own Meridians. If you don't believe me, City Lord can personally verify it."

The young man spoke frankly, his expression calm, clearly not afraid of being investigated.

His own Meridians?

Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in everyone's eyes, and the first thing they thought of was a Spiritual Vein.

Could this child possess a Spiritual Vein?

But even a Spiritual Vein couldn't allow one to fight across a major Realm, could it?

The yellow-robed man also held curiosity, stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Young Master Lin, I have offended you greatly."

"It's fine."

Lin Yuan cooperatively extended his arm.

The man's polite attitude this time surprised everyone else.

No, is this still their City Lord?

The Core Formation Realm Cultivator, who was usually high and mighty, was now respectful towards a junior of the Opening Meridian Realm?

Could this young man really have a great background?

At this moment, the man had already raised his hand, grasped the other party's arm, and released his spiritual sense to begin probing.

Soon, he discovered the vigorous and ceaseless Meridians within Lin Yuan's body, and a look of shock immediately appeared on his face.

"What exactly is this Vein? How can it possess such powerful might?"

While still in awe, he withdrew his hand and exclaimed, "Amazing! Truly amazing! Such surging power is truly something I have never seen in my life. May I, Lu Ke, be so bold as to ask, Young Master, what kind of Meridian is this?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure what kind of Vein this is; it should be a type of Spiritual Vein."

The man denied, "No, a Spiritual Vein absolutely cannot achieve such a terrifying amplification. The grade of these Meridians must be above that of a Spiritual Vein."

Above a Spiritual Vein?

Then wouldn't that be the legendary Divine Vein?

"Hiss!"

With this thought, everyone couldn't help but gasp in cold air!

Divine Vein! That's an existence comparable to a Saint Body!

If the Meridians in the other party's body were truly of such a level, wouldn't that be equivalent to a Saint Body Prodigy?

Such a person would actually appear in Great River City?

Surely City Lord hasn't made a mistake in his judgment?

While the entire venue was astonished, the man, without waiting for the referee to speak, made the judgment on his behalf: "I announce that in this Great River City quota selection battle, Young Master Lin is the final victor. He will now represent our city in the league."

"Lord Lu Ke..."

The woman opened her mouth, wanting to say something else, but the man directly interrupted her: "I have already finished my inspection. Lin Yuan did not violate any rules. He defeated Xiao Wei fairly and squarely, so you don't need to say anything more."

After speaking, he immediately turned his head and said, "Young Master, you have won. Please follow me to the City Lord's Mansion, and I will tell you the specific details of the league."

"Alright."

The two of them soared into the air like that, leaving behind the astonished crowd, whose surprise on their faces lingered for a long time.

A Divine Vein Cultivator has actually appeared in Great River City; it seems they are about to witness history!

...

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

In the main hall.

Lin Yuan followed the yellow-robed man to this place. The other party did not sit down but extended his hand and said, "Young Master, please sit. I will pour you tea."

Have a Core Formation Realm expert pour him tea?

Lin Yuan was immediately flattered and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Senior, you are too kind. I can do it myself; there's no need to trouble you."

"Alright, then please make yourself at home."

The man said, sitting down at the main seat and sighing, "I didn't expect that after meeting not long ago, we would reunite so quickly."

Lin Yuan also sighed, "I also didn't expect that you would be the City Lord of Great River City. Perhaps this is fate."

"Haha, as Young Master said, you and I are indeed fated. It's a good chance to get to know each other. My name is Lu Ke, and you already know my identity. May I ask where Young Master is from? Could it be a member of the Lin family, an ancient aristocratic family?"

Having heard the other party mention his name before, combined with his Divine Vein talent, he subconsciously believed that Lin Yuan should come from a prominent aristocratic family, and among the Eastern Domain, only that Lin family fit the description.

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "No, I come from a commoner family in Luoxiao City, tens of thousands of miles away from an ancient aristocratic family, with no relation whatsoever."

"Commoner family?"

Lu Ke frowned: "With Young Master's extraordinary talent, how could he come from an ordinary background?"

"That's the truth. I have no reason to lie."

"Are your parents Mortals then? Do they have Cultivation? Or a special Physique?"

"They are Mortals and have no Physique talent."

"This..."

Lu Ke was immediately confused.

Logically speaking, since the other party possesses a top-tier Divine Vein, his parents' talent should definitely not be poor. At the very least, they should be able to Cultivate, right?

Mortals were truly absurd.

Lin Yuan saw what the other party was thinking and proactively confessed, "Actually, I was separated from my biological parents since I was young. The two elders in Luoxiao City now are my adoptive parents."

Lu Ke suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. No wonder there's such a big difference in talent between you and them. I suppose your biological parents must have extraordinary talent to have given birth to such an outstanding Prodigy like you."

Lin Yuan gave a wry smile and said, "You flatter me, Senior. I have no impression of my biological parents since I can remember, and I don't know why they abandoned me."

Lu Ke consoled him, "I think they must have had unspeakable difficulties. Otherwise, how could parents abandon their own child?"

"That's right, sigh."

Lin Yuan sighed, and the atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"Cough cough."

Lu Ke lightly coughed, "Young Master, don't be sad. I am willing to use the power of the Lu family and the City Lord's Mansion to help you inquire about your biological parents."

"Then I thank you, Senior."

"You're welcome. By the way, Young Master, where are you currently studying?"

"Cloud Ripple Sect."

"Are you an Inner Sect Disciple?"

"No, I'm only in the Opening Meridian Realm, and I haven't participated in the Inner Sect Assessment."

"I see. Then who is your Revered Master?"

"My Revered Master has passed away."

"Ah?"

Lu Ke was immediately stunned.

In his opinion, the other party's Revered Master must have been an exceptional figure, so how could he have died?

After Lin Yuan's explanation, he finally understood the reason.
