"I don't want to do anything that would lead to me being robbed and losing face for nothing."
"but..."
Lin Xiao suddenly changed the subject.
"In case they don't know what's good for them, Senior Dugu, please go with us!"
"The crystal blood dragon ginseng is extremely important to me and cannot be lost."
"If they insist on not changing and are stubborn... then we have to take them away no matter how hard we try."
Use courtesy before force, and do your utmost to be kind and righteous.
When Yang Wudi heard this, he was certain and immediately clasped his fists in agreement.
"Don't worry, Sect Master. I will definitely convince Old White Bird!"
"The Golden Winged Radiant Lotus has a miraculous effect on increasing his speed and helping him break through bottlenecks. There is no reason for him to refuse such a benefit."
"He wouldn't be that stubborn."
Lin Xiao nodded slightly, his face seemed a little paler than before, but he concealed it well.
"Senior Yang Wudi, Senior Dugu, there is no time to lose, please set off as soon as possible!"
"I'll be waiting for your news in the Poyi Clan."
"My current condition makes me unfit for long journeys."
As soon as these words came out, Dugu Bo's sharp eyes immediately caught the subtle changes in Lin Xiao that were difficult for him to detect.
He instantly realized that the attribute conflict that was originally suppressed in Lin Xiao's body might have become more serious.
This kid probably has to use all his strength to suppress the energy riot in his body at this moment.
Dugu Bo's heart tightened, and he didn't delay any longer.
He hurriedly grabbed Yang Wudi who was still thinking about his words.
"Let's go! Let's set off now without further delay!"
He looked so anxious, as if Lin Xiao would explode on the spot if he was a second late.
After watching Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi hurriedly leave.
Xiao Wu and Er Ming, who were standing by, also noticed that Lin Xiao's face was not very good.
"Brother Lin Xiao! You look a little pale, are you feeling unwell?"
Xiao Wu asked anxiously and concernedly, her eyes full of worry.
But Lin Xiao just shook his head slightly. Then he turned his attention to the elders waiting on the side.
"Please, elders, prepare a completely quiet room for me."
"I need to retreat immediately."
The elder who was in charge of the report bowed and responded without any hesitation.
"Yes, Sect Master! I'll arrange it right away!"
Soon, the elder returned to lead the way.
Xiao Wu and Er Ming carefully supported Lin Xiao on his left and right, and sent him into a secluded stone chamber.
The stone chamber is simply furnished with only a stone bed and a cushion. I guess this is where Yang Wudi usually practices.
The air was filled with a faint, sharp metallic scent, with a hint of herbal bitterness.
"Brother Lin Xiao, just stay here and retreat with peace of mind!"
"Erming and I will be guarding outside the door the whole time! If anything happens, you can call us anytime!"
Er Ming nodded vigorously, indicating that he wanted to do the same as Xiao Wu.
Lin Xiao smiled at them reassuringly, telling them not to worry.
When the stone door slowly closed, blocking out all sounds from the outside world, the room instantly fell into absolute silence.
The last trace of blood on Lin Xiao's face also faded.
He sat down cross-legged almost immediately, and even adjusting his posture seemed a bit difficult.
His mind sank into his body and he instantly sensed the chaotic scene.
Four completely different attribute powers, like wild horses running free from their reins, madly collided and tore at each other in his meridians, competing with each other and being incompatible with each other.
The balance that was originally forcibly suppressed is now shaky.
Lin Xiao immediately used all his strength to activate the [Dragon God Art].
The vast soul power was mobilized, trying hard to guide and sort out the chaotic energy and temporarily restrain it.
Every guidance is accompanied by huge consumption and pain.
"I hope... that the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng will be as effective as expected."
Lin Xiao couldn't help but pray secretly
His martial soul, the Dragon Soul Overlord Spear, was mutated from the ancient dragon blood tree.
Then, when it absorbed the first soul ring of the ancient dragon blood tree, it evolved again, and only then did it reach the level of the top-level martial soul.
However, his innate soul power was only at level nine after all, and he was always one step away from becoming a true super martial soul.
Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng, according to legend, is a spiritual creature born from the blood of a real dragon infecting the earth. It contains pure dragon breath and huge life energy.
This has the same origin as his Dragon Soul Overlord Spear and is highly compatible with it.
If it can be swallowed and refined successfully, perhaps it can really make up for the final defect, allowing the martial soul to complete the final transformation and evolve into a super martial soul.
The root cause of the attribute conflict in the body lies in the attribute selection of the soul ring. If you want to completely resolve it, you may have to wait until you obtain the fifth soul ring.
At present, the only way to temporarily alleviate this crisis that is about to break out is to allow the martial soul to evolve first and improve its own quality and capacity.
The stronger the martial soul, the greater the ability to withstand it.
This is the only way at the moment.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, suppressed the surging blood and energy, and put all his mind into suppressing and guiding the violent energy in his body.
Inside the stone chamber, the only sounds were his heavy and suppressed breathing and the faint roar of energy within his body.
"I hope everything goes well for Senior Dugu and Senior Yang."
Seven days passed quietly.
Outside the stone chamber of the Poyi Clan, the atmosphere of anxiety grew increasingly intense.
Finally, at dusk on the seventh day, three figures hurried back from the distant skyline.
The leaders were Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi.
Behind them, there was an old man with a thin figure and sharp eyes. He was the king of speed, Bai He.
Dugu Bo had barely landed when his eyes were fixed on Xiao Wu and Er Ming who were guarding the door to the secret room.
His green eyes were filled with anxiety.
"Little Wu girl! Is the little monster in there?"
"I got the stuff back!"
When Xiao Wu saw the person coming, her heart was relieved a little, but the anxiety on her face became even worse.
She almost cried out.
"Yes, yes, Senior Dugu! You are finally back!"
"Brother Lin Xiao's condition has been getting worse these past few days! Come in and take a look!"
The heavy stone door was pushed open.
In the dim stone chamber, Lin Xiao's figure sitting cross-legged came into view.
He lowered his head and his body trembled slightly.
His face was so pale that there was not a trace of blood, like a piece of thin paper.
Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, soaking his clothes.
The frail appearance was truly shocking. Dugu Bo's heart suddenly sank, and he no longer cared about any politeness.
He hurriedly took out something from the [Ruyi Treasure Bag] on his waist.
It was a strange ginseng that was blood red all over, yet had a crystal-clear luster.
Inside the ginseng, there seemed to be a tiny dragon-shaped shadow swimming slowly, emitting an amazing breath of life.
"Little monster! The crystal blood dragon ginseng is back!"
"then!"
Almost at the moment Dugu Bo finished speaking, Lin Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.
He didn't even reach out to take it. Instead, he opened his mouth and took a deep breath.
