He didn't know if the person speaking ill of him behind his back was from the Beautiful Country, but he felt that person must be quite formidable.
Could it be Qi Tian?
He didn't bother with it anymore. In the past few days, with the help of spiritual stones, all the true qi in his body had finally completely transformed into spiritual power.
As for the golden dragon in his dantian, it was beyond happy. It would come out to roam whenever it pleased, expressing its excitement.
Now, Lin Xiao could confirm.
He had truly entered the Divine Realm.
He was probably the youngest expert in the Divine Realm in the world today.
Perhaps not necessarily.
There might be younger individuals in the Misty Immortal Palace or the Artifact Sect.
With Qi Tian's return this time, he would also have more say.
Only by entering the Divine Realm could one have more leverage.
However, he didn't know when the people from the Misty Immortal Palace would appear.
When they did, he would at least have the strength to fight. He just hoped that the most powerful individuals from the Misty Immortal Palace wouldn't all show up.
But...
It was clear that if the Ning family wasn't eliminated after the first strike, stronger individuals would inevitably arrive.
That would be the most troublesome.
He hoped Qi Tian would bring him some good news when he returned.
Or rather... at the very least, not return and tell him that Qi Tian had defected.
"Sigh, Brother Xiao, when will I be able to enter the Divine Realm like you?" Ye Chen's body also began to convert spiritual energy, but his speed was clearly nowhere near Lin Xiao's.
He hadn't finished the conversion yet and was currently stuck in an awkward middle ground.
"Haste makes waste," Lin Xiao glanced at him. "You don't need me to tell you this simple and obvious principle, do you?"
"Of course not."
Ye Chen shook his head. "It's just that I'm a bit anxious. I just don't know when those people from the Misty Immortal Palace will appear."
"When they appear, I'll definitely treat them to a few bullets!"
Bullets?
Lin Xiao didn't think those things were useful.
However, he had to admit that if it was an unexpected move... it might have some effect.
After all, according to Qi Tian's account, the people from the Misty Immortal Palace were almost out of touch with the times. They might know about some modern firearms from older eras, but they would definitely not know about the most advanced sniper rifles in the current military.
Perhaps he could procure a few of them to try out then.
"Alright, you go rest first... I'm also going to prepare. We're getting ready to head to the Underworld Doctor's place." Lin Xiao had agreed on a meeting point with Qi Tian from the beginning.
That was in the city where the Ning family resided.
He hoped Qi Tian wouldn't get lost.
...
As they were nearing the mountain where the Ning family was located, Qi Tian finally contacted Lin Xiao.
"Lin Xiao, I'm almost there. Also, I need you to complete the transaction for me immediately, right now." Qi Tian's tone was clearly filled with anger as he spoke.
He didn't know where this anger was coming from.
"I have no problem with that, but judging by your tone, you don't seem to be in a good mood? Did you, the heir of the Artifact Sect, suffer any grievances in the Misty Immortal Palace?" Lin Xiao stopped in his tracks, curious.
"You don't need to worry about that. Send me your location, I'll be there soon." The thought of Palace Master Chen dragging him away for a lecture made Qi Tian involuntarily shiver.
