Double the price.
“Am I only worth double the price?”
Lin Xiao really didn’t know what to say for a moment…
He did indeed intend to join the Body Sect, but if he agreed now, it felt like selling himself out.
But if he didn’t agree, this was double the price.
He loved money, but he didn’t intend to sell himself.
Lin Xiao thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, “Senior, this junior does not wish to join the Body Sect at this moment.”
“However, after some time, I will head to the Body Sect and join.”
Before joining the Body Sect, Lin Xiao planned to make a trip to the Far North.
Once he joined the Body Sect, given his Martial Soul, he would definitely be valued by Du Busi.
It would be difficult to leave then, and surely many people would follow him, which wouldn’t be convenient.
It would be better to resolve his matters before joining.
The old man looked at Lin Xiao and thought for a moment.
The other party had neither refused nor accepted, but instead said he would join later.
“How can I trust you?”
The Body Sect was overbearing; even its disciples were the fearless type.
Once they decided someone was a member of the Body Sect, they would make sure that person joined.
Back then, Du Busi had gone to Shrek in person to demand people, without the slightest bit of cowardice.
“Heh, Senior, I cannot give you a guarantee on that.”
“Whether you believe me or not is up to you, Senior.”
Lin Xiao said calmly.
He didn’t really care; at worst, he could just run.
Anyway, with Yao Lao around, he could definitely get away.
The old man examined Lin Xiao closely.
This kid had a hint of arrogance between his brows, and he didn’t look like someone who would lie.
After considering it, the old man finally made up his mind and took out a token: “This is a Body Sect disciple token.
From now on, you are a member of the Body Sect.”
Lin Xiao: “??” Had he guessed wrong just now?
“Senior, you wouldn’t happen to be some Elder of the Body Sect, would you?”
“This token…”
The old man smiled: “Not exactly.
This is my disciple token.
I’m giving it to you now to prevent you from running away.
Don’t think about throwing it away; the consequences will be very serious.”
Lin Xiao was completely speechless.
He had thought the old man was some big shot in the Body Sect, but it turned out he had just given him his own token.
However, the threat at the end was completely useless.
“Senior, if I take your token, I won’t be hunted down or anything, right?”
Lin Xiao didn’t take it immediately, but instead looked at the other party and asked.
The old man smiled slightly: “That doesn’t matter.
I will return to the Sect later, and I’ll just inform the people in the Sect then.”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao decisively accepted the token.
Anyway, he intended to head to the Body Sect, so accepting it wouldn’t hurt.
Seeing Lin Xiao accept it, the old man felt relieved.
Yao Lao had just sensed it; the token was an ordinary one, so Lin Xiao could safely accept it.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so decisive.
“Little guy, may I know your name?”
The old man asked Lin Xiao while taking out a card.
“Lin Xiao!”
Lin Xiao said calmly.
The old man handed over the card: “Lin Xiao, there are 5000 gold coins in this card.
Your medicinal herbs are worth about 2500 gold coins.”
Lin Xiao accepted it and then bid farewell to the other party.
The old man watched him leave with satisfaction.
He had found another disciple for the Sect; that was truly great.
“Sigh, how did I forget to ask what his Martial Soul was?”
The old man patted his own head; he had been too excited.
Forget it, forget it.
Anyway, that kid was already a member of the Body Sect.
Lin Xiao, having left the auction house, did not consider himself a member of the Body Sect.
He had only accepted it because he didn’t want to get entangled with the other party.
Soon, Lin Xiao purchased some items needed for the trip to the Far North, and incidentally bought an alchemy furnace.
After preparing everything, Lin Xiao headed in the direction of the Far North according to the map.
The Far North was very far away, located in the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Without a month or two, Lin Xiao wouldn’t be able to reach it.
However, Lin Xiao wasn’t worried; anyway, he had plenty of time.
Thinking about it, Huo Yuhao should be getting along famously with Wang Dong by now, and he didn’t know if he had met Ma Xiaotao yet.
Lin Xiao thought while traveling.
He had already given Huo Yuhao a chance.
If they became enemies later, he definitely wouldn’t show mercy.
Evil Fire—he wondered if it could be devoured by his own Martial Soul.
If it could, he would gain an extra type of flame, which would be quite good.
Lin Xiao did not choose to take the main road; instead, he headed to the Far North via remote paths.
It wasn’t for anything else, but for training, for spirit rings, and for those medicinal herbs.
Two months passed in a flash.
At this moment, Lin Xiao stood on a snow-covered mountain peak.
He placed the purchased alchemy furnace in front of him and began to attempt alchemy according to the techniques Yao Lao had described.
This was already his umpteenth attempt over the past two months, and his technique was becoming increasingly proficient.
It was just that he still couldn’t refine first-grade medicinal pills.
What he refined wasn’t a pill at all, but his technique had improved significantly.
After finishing the refinement, Lin Xiao put away the alchemy furnace and scanned his surroundings.
The Far North.
It was covered in white snow; apart from snow, there was only snow.
It was sparsely populated, and it seemed as though no sign of life could be seen.
“Teacher, how is the research going between you and Electrolux?”
Lin Xiao asked towards the ring.
Yao Lao’s voice came out: “Eighty percent certainty.”
“Too low, too low.
According to my ideas, there is at least ninety-nine percent certainty.”
Electrolux’s voice rang out, sounding more confident than Yao Lao.
“Your method requires the other party to be willing; how do you have the face to tell me there’s ninety-nine percent certainty?”
Yao Lao retorted directly, then said to Lin Xiao: “Xiao Xiaozi, for the Soul Spirit concept to have a ninety-nine percent success rate, it requires the other party’s cooperation.”
“If the other party does not cooperate, I have an eighty percent certainty of forcibly making them a Soul Spirit.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao was shocked by the ideas of these two big shots.
Teacher, so the eighty percent you mentioned was for forcibly making the other party your Soul Spirit.
It was forced, not cooperative; cooperation would have ninety-nine percent.
Wouldn’t it be simple to get cooperation?
With you two big shots here, forcing cooperation for a bit isn’t impossible either.
With such a high probability, Yao Lao actually still felt it wasn’t secure enough.
As long as the other party was willing, there was ninety-nine percent certainty.
Wasn’t that equivalent to one hundred percent?
Yao Lao was still too cautious.
On the way to the Far North, Lin Xiao had communicated with the two of them regarding the matter of hunting Spirit Beasts.
While chatting, Lin Xiao mentioned the Soul Spirit and took the opportunity to ask them for advice, inquiring whether such an idea could be realized.
Both of them were experts in dealing with souls, so this idea immediately piqued their interest.
The concept of the Soul Spirit was still too advanced for the current time.
Once successful, the assistance it would provide would be very obvious.
Yao Lao and Electrolux put their heads together and immediately began to research it.
