Once again, the fragments of the puppet lay scattered in the courtyard.
Lin Xiao looked at the wreckage of the puppet, "The things inside this puppet are all at a critical point, shattering at the slightest touch."
He had instinctively unleashed his full power just moments ago. At the very last second, a point of light had appeared in the only opening that had existed. But he had seen something else too.
There had been a slight pause in the puppet's movements.
With that tiny pause, the idle energy that had been as brilliant as myriad stars vanished, and he had instantly found the flaw and shattered it.
He felt that the puppet opposite him, like himself, had calculated every possible move he could make. But at the last moment, something seemed to have gone wrong internally, perhaps an overload, causing it to collapse.
Qi Tian looked at the data on the computer screen, frowning. He let the computer process the data on its own, then slapped himself, "I'm so clumsy!"
It was because of that punch of his that, even after being repaired, the puppet struggled to even fully unleash its power.
He then flicked his finger, and a spirit stone appeared in his hand.
"I thought you weren't going to take this spirit stone anymore," Lin Xiao said, surprised by his action.
"Spirit stones are used up one by one. Although my Qi Sect has many spirit stones, this one is practically unused. It should still be reclaimed," Qi Tian said, holding the spirit stone and sighing.
"Mm, I understand... How about you get me a few spirit stones too?" Lin Xiao asked casually.
That single spirit stone from yesterday wasn't enough, was it?
"One spirit stone is enough for you to cultivate for over a month, what else do you need?" Qi Tian instinctively pocketed the spirit stone.
Noticing his action, Lin Xiao glanced at him. This guy, with his vast resources, was still so stingy? He instinctively put it away, and then Lin Xiao said, "I was thinking of getting one for my daughter as well."
"Is your daughter also at the Innate realm?" Qi Tian quickly asked.
"No."
"Then this spirit stone is useless to her. It requires at least entering the Innate realm to use spirit stones. Otherwise, it's no different from those jade pendants," Qi Tian waved his hand and continued assembling a new puppet over there, also importing the new data.
Although the experiment had been a failure, he had still collected a lot of useful information.
By the time the second puppet was completed, it was already afternoon.
Over the next month, Lin Xiao, true to his word, cooperated faithfully with Qi Tian to complete all of his experiments.
Lin Xiao had never felt time drag on so slowly.
When he was in Beijiang, he was also tired, but it was different from this. Except for those few times, he had never tried to push himself, to exhaust himself. But during these experiments, he was constantly pushing himself to the limit, almost every day.
If he didn't push himself, he would be killed by the puppets!
Qi Tian truly gave him no chance to slack off.
Of course, thanks to this, his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds during this month.
After entering the Divine Realm, he hadn't been sure how to continue cultivating. But in these past few days, he had been forcefully pushed to do so.
Not only had he been forced, but he had made the so-called realm of 'Emptiness' as easy as eating and drinking.
