In the Northern Frontier, ever since that incident, Lin Xiao had irrevocably decided that he would never abandon anyone. As long as he could, he would not allow another person to come to harm.
He not only diligently practiced his cultivation techniques but also diligently studied medicine under the Divine Doctor.
And so, he became the divine doctor he was today.
Lin Xiao's cultivation was slightly inferior to Qi Tian's.
His speed was always a few meters behind Qi Tian's.
Lin Xiao frowned, then instinctively channeled the small amount of spiritual energy within his body.
If Innate True Qi couldn't speed him up, he would use spiritual energy.
With this step, he instantly arrived beside Qi Tian.
Seeing Lin Xiao drawing level with him, a flicker of surprise crossed Qi Tian's face.
Lin Xiao reached out, preparing to grab him.
"I didn't expect this."
Qi Tian didn't even dodge. He looked at Lin Xiao with surprise as a golden light emanated from him, blocking Lin Xiao's hand. "You've actually comprehended the use of spiritual energy."
"Entering this realm in five years is a gift of natural talent. Even in the Misty Immortal Palace, you'd be among the top disciples," Qi Tian mused, then added, "It's a pity. If you can't let go, you won't go far."
Even now, his tone was as if he were speaking from a position of superiority, as if Lin Xiao, in his eyes, was just an ordinary person among the masses.
As this golden light flickered, Lin Xiao was repelled several meters. In that instant, Lin Xiao lost Qi Tian's presence.
He had vanished.
But Lin Xiao clearly remembered his attire. He rushed towards the spa.
In a sense, Lin Xiao agreed with the man's words; the path of science required sweat and sacrifice. However, he detested the man's attitude, his disregard for human life.
Yet, as he walked, he stopped and waited for more than ten seconds.
Zhuge Lan and Ye Chen arrived.
"Lin Xiao."
Zhuge Lan asked, "Where is he? Did he leave?"
"Yes, he had some treasure on him that blocked me, and I lost his trace." Lin Xiao understood. He didn't know what kind of place the Artifact Sect was, but given its name, it was plausible for its members to possess treasures.
"What a shame."
Zhuge Lan sighed.
Meanwhile, Ye Chen was rapidly assessing Lin Xiao's physical condition. "Good, Brother Xiao is alright."
"What could happen to me?" Lin Xiao shook his head. "This person didn't seem to want to fight me at all; he simply came to talk. But his way of talking made me very uncomfortable."
As they spoke, Mr. Zhuge emerged.
"Disciples of the Artifact Sect are like this. Almost all of them are engrossed in their creations. To make their works more perfect, they are willing to do things that ordinary people would never even consider," Mr. Zhuge sighed. "Each of them is a genius, a madman, and extremely stubborn."
"It should be so," Lin Xiao thought of the cyborg integration technology. It didn't seem like normal science, yet the cyborgs' bodies were indeed composed of technology. He could understand it, but not accept it. "Geniuses are to the left, madmen are to the right."
