Double the price.
Am I only worth twice the price?
Lin Xiao was momentarily at a loss for words…
I do intend to join the Body Sect, but if I agree now, it feels like I’m selling myself off.
But if I don’t agree, it’s double the price!
I do love money, but I have no intention of selling myself.
Lin Xiao thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “Senior, I don’t want to join the Body Sect yet.”
“However, after some time, I will go to the Body Sect and join it.”
Before joining the Body Sect, Lin Xiao was thinking of going to the far north.
Once he joined the Body Sect, his martial soul would definitely be valued by Du Busi.
It will be difficult to leave then, as many people will definitely follow you, which will be inconvenient.
It would be better to resolve the issue yourself before joining.
The old man looked at Lin Xiao and thought for a moment.
The other party neither refused nor agreed, but instead said that he would join later.
How can I trust you?
The Body Sect is domineering, and even its disciples are fearless.
Once someone is identified as a member of the Body Sect, they will be forced to join.
Back then, Poison Undying went to Shrek Academy in person to demand people back, showing no fear whatsoever.
“Hehe, senior, I can’t guarantee that.”
Whether or not to believe it is up to the senior to decide.
Lin Xiao spoke calmly.
He didn’t care.
He could just run away.
Anyway, with Yao Lao around, he could still escape.
The old man carefully examined Lin Xiao.
This young man had a hint of arrogance in his eyes and didn’t seem like a liar.
After some thought, the old man finally made up his mind and took out a token: “This is the disciple token of the Body Sect.
From now on, you are a member of the Body Sect.”
Lin Xiao: “??” Did I guess wrong just now?
“Senior, you wouldn’t happen to be some kind of elder from the Body Sect, would you?”
“This token…”
The old man smiled and said, “No, this is my disciple token.
I’m giving it to you now to prevent you from running away.
Don’t even think about throwing it away, or the consequences will be severe.”
Lin Xiao was completely speechless. This story is hosted at g.com.
He thought it was a big shot from the Body Sect, but it turned out that it was just someone giving him their own token.
However, the subsequent threat was completely useless.
“Senior, if I take your token, won’t I be hunted down or something?”
Lin Xiao didn’t continue the conversation, but instead looked at the other person and asked a question.
The old man smiled slightly: “That’s alright.
I’ll go back to the sect later and let the sect members know.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao decisively accepted the token.
Since he was planning to go to the Body Sect anyway, there was no harm in accepting it.
The old man was relieved to see that Lin Xiao had accepted the gift.
The old doctor just checked it and confirmed that it was just an ordinary token.
Lin Xiao could accept it without worry; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so decisive.
“Little one, do you still remember your name?”
The old man took out a card while asking Lin Xiao a question.
“Lin Xiao!”
Lin Xiao spoke calmly.
The old man handed over a card: “Lin Xiao, there are 5,000 gold soul coins in this card.
These medicinal herbs of yours are worth about 2,500 gold soul coins.”
Lin Xiao accepted the gift and then said goodbye to the other party.
The old man watched the other person leave with satisfaction.
He had found another disciple for the sect.
That was truly excellent.
“Oh, how could I forget to ask what their martial soul is?”
The old man patted his head, realizing he had gotten too excited.
Never mind, that kid is already a member of the Body Sect anyway.
Lin Xiao, who left the auction house, did not consider himself a member of the Body Sect.
He accepted the item simply because he did not want to get entangled with the other party.
Soon, Lin Xiao purchased some items needed for his journey to the far north, and also bought an alchemy furnace.
After preparing everything, Lin Xiao headed towards the far north, following the directions on the map.
The far north is very far, located in the northern border of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
It would take Lin Xiao one or two months to get there.
However, Lin Xiao wasn’t worried, since there was still plenty of time.
Thinking about it, Huo Yuhao should be getting along really well with Wang Dong by now, and I wonder if he’s run into Ma Xiaotao yet.
As Lin Xiao traveled, he thought to himself that he had already given Huo Yuhao a chance, and if they became enemies later, he would definitely not show any mercy.
If it can, then I’ll have another kind of flame, which is not bad.
Lin Xiao did not choose to take the main road, but instead took those remote trails to the far north.
It’s not for anything else, it’s for training, for spirit rings, for those herbs.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye, and now Lin Xiao stood atop a snow-covered mountain.
He placed the alchemy furnace he had purchased in front of him and began to try refining pills according to the method taught by the old medicine master.
This was the umpteenth time he had tried it over the past two months, and his technique was becoming more and more skillful.
However, I still don’t know how to refine first-grade pills.
What was refined was not a pill at all, but the technique was greatly improved.
After finishing the refining process, Lin Xiao put away the alchemy furnace and glanced around.
The far north.
A blanket of white snow, nothing but snow, sparsely populated, seemingly devoid of any sign of life.
“Teacher, how is your research with Professor Yi going?”
Lin Xiao spoke into the ring.
The old doctor’s voice came out: “Eighty percent certain.”
“It’s too low, too low.
In my opinion, I’m at least 99% sure.”
Electrolux’s voice rang out, sounding more confident than the old apothecary.
“You need the other person to take the initiative, and you still have the nerve to tell me it’s 99%?”
The old apothecary asked a question in return, and then said to Lin Xiao, “Little Xiao, for the Soul Spirit’s plan to have a 99% success rate, the other party’s cooperation is required.”
“If the other party does not cooperate, I am 80% confident that I can force them to become a spirit.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao was shocked by the ideas of these two big shots.
Teacher, it seems that what you’re saying is 80% about forcing the other person to become your soul.
It’s coercion, not cooperation.
There’s a 99% chance of cooperation.
Is it easy to coordinate?
With you two big shots around, forcing us to cooperate isn’t impossible.
Despite such a high probability, the old doctor still felt it was not a sure thing.
If the other party is willing, there is a 99% guarantee, which is equivalent to 100%.
The old doctor is being too cautious.
On the way to the far north, Lin Xiao talked with the two about hunting soul beasts.
As they chatted, Lin Xiao brought up the topic of souls and asked the two of them if such an idea could be realized.
Both of them were experts in the field of soul-based games, and this idea immediately piqued their interest.
The concept of a soul is still too advanced for now, but if successful, the boost it provides will be very significant.
After discussing it with Electrolux, Yao Lao immediately began his research.
