From the current situation, only one possibility remains.
It's obvious that the combat experience and algorithms absorbed by his puppets are far from enough, and Lin Xiao needs to demonstrate much, much more. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
If this slow pace continues, it will take his combat puppets about half a year to reach his initial expectation.
Normally, this pace is not considered slow; in fact, it has already exceeded Qi Tian's initial expectations.
However, since there's a faster way now, he naturally wants to try it.
"Lin Xiao, if you want your puppet squad to be stronger when the time comes, you'll need to put in more effort," Qi Tian turned to look at Lin Xiao, a smile on his face. "In other words, if you want more trump cards when you're at odds with the Misty Immortal Palace, you need to work harder."
"I know," Lin Xiao nodded. "Didn't we agree on a trade before? No need to rush."
Lin Xiao was also very aware that Ye Chen exerted his full strength almost every time he sparred with these puppets, but he needed to keep something in mind.
Qi Tian was being so accommodating to them now, even willing to make a deal with him. This convinced Lin Xiao that there was something about him that Qi Tian desired.
But if there was anything to be coveted, it was only his own strength between him and Ye Chen.
He wouldn't boast about anything else, but he had a clear understanding of his own capabilities.
Qi Tian narrowed his eyes, then nodded, "Alright."
After handling the information, Qi Tian left.
"Brother Xiao, you're making a deal with him to help the Underworld Doctor deal with the Misty Immortal Palace?" Ye Chen looked at Lin Xiao, not quite understanding. Making a deal with Qi Tian, wasn't that like seeking help from a tiger? He could understand himself, but he couldn't quite grasp why Lin Xiao would choose this path.
"Yes," Lin Xiao nodded, though he had more to say.
He not only wanted to help the Underworld Doctor confront the Misty Immortal Palace this time, but the existence of the Artifact Sect itself also needed careful consideration.
For example, Qi Tian.
In Qi Tian's eyes, there was no right or wrong, only his pursuit of technological science. The people of the Misty Immortal Palace would be scorned, and ordinary people held no value to him. To obtain cutting-edge technology, he would not hesitate to deal with people from the United States.
"The sage is not benevolent; they treat the common people as straw dogs."
To Qi Tian, humans in the mortal world were like straw dogs.
Including himself and Ye Chen, they were all straw dogs.
If not for his need for data as reference material for his puppets, he, Ye Chen, and even everyone in this mortal world would have no dealings with Qi Tian.
If his experiments accidentally caused casualties, it would only be a failed experiment to him, nothing more. He would not care about anything else; to him, that was the fate of the weak.
Therefore, he couldn't simply let Qi Tian obtain his data like this.
Otherwise, once these experiments were over, Qi Tian would leave immediately.
His other goal would then be unattainable.
Qi Tian, being a successor of the Artifact Sect, and openly conducting experiments everywhere, likely had the approval of people within the sect. If his relationship with Qi Tian were to continue until the appearance of the Misty Immortal Palace forces, then that would become a cause for apprehension for the Misty Immortal Palace.
