Leng Shiqi raised his head and swallowed an Acupores Awakening Pill. Then, he began cultivating.
It wasn't until midnight that Leng Shiqi suddenly opened his eyes. Not far from him, a person had appeared without anyone noticing. It was Eunuch Gao!
Eunuch Gao! While he was cultivating, he spared some of his attention to think about why Eunuch Gao had come to him.
Eunuch Gao had come in the middle of the night. Obviously, there was something shameful going on.
In the end, Leng Shiqi felt that Eunuch Gao was probably trying to recruit him!
Now that he thought about it, Eunuch Gao had given him the Cold Nether Manual and a place in the Elite Association in the Western Wilderness Prefecture.
Now that he had performed extremely well in the mission to destroy the Extreme Volcano Village, he was even more worthy of being recruited!
"Greetings, Supervisor Gao." Leng Shiqi immediately stood up and saluted.
Eunuch Gao did not speak. He just rolled his eyes, and an extreme chill that seemed to come from the netherworld suddenly appeared.
The Cold Nether Manual in Leng Shiqi's body began to operate on its own!
Leng Shiqi was shocked, but he did not resist. Then Eunuch Gao nodded gently, and everything returned to normal.
"You really have practiced the Cold Nether Manual. Apart from that, you also have several cultivation methods. You are not simple," Eunuch Gao said in a hoarse voice.
"Thank you, Supervisor Gao," Leng Shiqi bowed his head and said respectfully. He did not directly explain why he had practiced so many cultivation methods at the same time.
Eunuch Gao curled his lips and did not ask further. "Since you have practiced my cultivation method, you can be considered half a disciple of mine."
Before Eunuch Gao could continue, Leng Shiqi immediately bowed and shouted, "Greetings, Master!"
Eunuch Gao had only said two sentences since he arrived. Leng Shiqi did not hear any malice in those two sentences, so he planned to ride on this big ship.
Before coming to Donglin County, Yu Ruifeng's words reminded him that even if Leng Shiqi performed well in the elite meeting this time, he would still have to go back to Western Wilderness County in the future.
Then, at most, he would be able to sit in the position of Patrol Inspector. It would be extremely difficult for him to be promoted.
However, if he was only an inspector, it would be unrealistic for him to complete the Blood Seed Plan smoothly.
Therefore, he had to find a backer within the Dark Thunder Guards to prepare for the future, and Eunuch Gao was very suitable!
Therefore, Leng Shiqi wanted to give it a try. It would be great if he succeeded, but if he failed, he wouldn't lose anything.
Eunuch Gao's expression changed slightly. Then, he laughed, and the wrinkles on his face trembled. "Haha, you sure know how to climb up a pole. Interesting."
Leng Shiqi flipped his hand and took out a mustard seed bag. "This is a small gift that disciple has prepared for Shizun. Please accept it."
What he took out was almost all the resources he had on him!
As long as he could really open a path to Eunuch Gao, any amount of resources would be worth it.
Eunuch Gao waved his hand and said, "You are smart, but I can only accept you as a nominal disciple at most. Besides, how can I accept your things? On the contrary, I should give you a meeting gift."
Hearing this, Leng Shiqi secretly thought that he had made the right bet!
"You have talent, ability, and skill. I like it very much. You can accept this."
As he spoke, he took out a gray token. Leng Shiqi looked at it carefully. There was a mysterious pattern engraved on it, but he didn't find any clues.
"This is the Imperial Supervisor Token. With this token, even the Patrol Inspector will have to be polite to you."
Leng Shiqi raised his eyebrows. Imperial Supervisor Token?
According to Eunuch Gao, this thing could even make the Patrol Inspector afraid?
This was equivalent to giving him a lot of power!
"This disciple thanks Master for the reward." Leng Shiqi immediately lowered his head and said respectfully.
Eunuch Gao nodded with satisfaction. "Liu Xingzhi, you are a smart person. I see your potential, so I believe you will give me what I want."
Leng Shiqi knew very well that Eunuch Gao was trying to rope him in because he wanted his loyalty!
In a few years, there would definitely be a turmoil in the Thunder Flame Dynasty. At that time, no one knew which prince would ascend the throne. As the saying went, a new emperor brings new ministers. Eunuch Gao, as the Head Steward, might not be able to stay out of it.
Therefore, he had to start cultivating his own followers!
Thus, Leng Shiqi said solemnly, "This subordinate will definitely be loyal to Eunuch Gao!"
Hearing this, Eunuch Gao smiled again. He was very satisfied with Leng Shiqi. Seeing that Leng Shiqi was so sensible, he was even happier.
"Since you and I are considered master and disciple, I can let you go through the back door. The next test you will undergo will be very interesting."
Very interesting?
Leng Shiqi wondered if he had heard wrong when Eunuch Gao described the next test like this.
However, he didn't expect Eunuch Gao to ask a very strange question. "How are your survival skills?"
Leng Shiqi was stunned for a moment before replying, "It's alright."
He had the Ghostly Spring Steps, a movement technique that was both light and teleportation. It was very good whether it was chasing or escaping.
Eunuch Gao revealed a meaningful smile and said, "That's good. However, before the other two groups complete their missions, you should think about your survival skills."
This sentence made Leng Shiqi's heart skip a beat. It sounded like the next test would be very dangerous?
This made him a little bewildered.
The Elite Council was still a selection of talents, so there had never been any deaths.
Even if they went to destroy the Extreme Fire Village, there was still a lot of danger. However, if you didn't want to take the risk, you could of course give up. However, you would definitely be eliminated.
Moreover, those who could enter the next round were prodigies among prodigies. The Thunderflame Dynasty was eager to nurture them. Why would they joke about their lives?
However, Leng Shiqi saw that Eunuch Gao didn't seem to be joking!
"Alright, that's all I have to say. You should prepare well."
After saying this, a faint cold aura surged out of his body. Then, he silently left.
Leng Shiqi was still carefully thinking about the meaning of Eunuch Gao's words. He then thought about how he didn't seem to have many survival skills other than the Ghostly Spring Steps.
This was because his fighting style was rather aggressive. He had always used offense as defense. His storm-like attacks could defeat his opponent in a short period of time. Therefore, he rarely used defensive spirit techniques.
"Looks like I have to use this time to get more defensive skills."
Just as he was thinking to himself, a series of knocks came from outside and pulled his thoughts back.
"Brother Liu, I am Di Chuan. It's very presumptuous of me to visit so late at night, but I have something to discuss with you. Please see me."
