Lin Xiao frowned and decided to continue.
Although he had digested so much energy in such a short period of time, he had to give it his all for his father.
After digesting more than half of the Star Pill, Lin Xiao's body was filled with cultivation energy. However, the Star Pill was still providing him with cultivation energy. The huge amount of cultivation energy surged into Lin Xiao's body, making him feel like a balloon that could explode at any time.
"Ah!"
Lin Xiao could not help but scream. His eyes were bloodshot.
Daji, Zhao Yun, and the Dog Beating Stick were waiting anxiously at the door.
As soon as Lin Xiao returned, he locked himself in the room and said that no one was allowed to come near, including them. This made them feel strange. However, since it was Lin Xiao's order, they could not go against it.
However, four hours had already passed. Now, Lin Xiao's scream could still be heard from the room. How could they not be worried?
"Ding!
Congratulations on reaching Level 8 of the Heart Movement! "
"Ding!
Congratulations on reaching Level 9 of the Heart Movement! "
"Ding!
Congratulations on reaching Level 1 of the Golden Core Realm! "
…
In the room, Lin Xiao had finally digested all the cultivation energy from the Star Pill and reached Level 1 of the Golden Core Realm.
If it was an ordinary Star Pill, Lin Xiao's cultivation foundation would be very unstable and problems would arise at any time. However, the improved version of the Star Pill would not have such a situation. Lin Xiao's cultivation had completely stabilized at the Golden Elixir Realm.
When he opened his eyes again, Lin Xiao's aura was even sharper.
After a few cycles, Lin Xiao put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
"Master, are you okay?"
When Daji saw Lin Xiao coming out, she immediately went up to him anxiously. Then, her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment. "Master, you … you broke through?"
Zhao Yun and the Dog Beating Stick followed closely behind. When they realized that Lin Xiao's cultivation had reached Level 1 of the Golden Core Realm, they were also shocked.
Although their cultivation talent was very high, they were still shocked that Lin Xiao could break through from the first level of the Heartbeat Realm to the first level of the Golden Core Realm in just four hours.
As expected of their Lord!
Zhao Yun's and the Dog Beating Stick's eyes lit up. Their fighting spirit surged again. With such a master, how could they be afraid of not being able to make a name for themselves in the future?
"Let's go. Follow me to the inauguration ceremony."
Lin Xiao didn't answer. Instead, an enigmatic smile appeared on his face. With his hands behind his back, he walked at the front.
All the aristocratic families of Jiangxia City had already arrived at the inauguration ceremony.
In addition to Lin Yuntian's subordinates, there were also some ancient aristocratic families. Many of these families were Lu Yu's henchmen, and they didn't get along with Lin Xiao. When they saw Lin Xiao appear, they began to talk about Lin Xiao.
"Yo!
Isn't this our new City Lord?
How arrogant of him to be late for the inauguration ceremony! "
"City Lord Lin is still in the prime of his life. Why are you in such a hurry to pass on your position?
Could it be that Young City Lord Lin used his subordinates to force City Lord Lin to abdicate his position? "
"If you ask me, Young City Lord Lin's subordinates are very strong. But isn't your own strength a bit weak?"
"Yes, if you want to be the City Lord of Jiangxia City, you can't do it without some strength!"
… …
Facing these aristocratic families, Lin Yuntian's subordinates didn't say anything.
They wanted to see how Lin Xiao would deal with it.
Although they promised Lin Xiao that they would be loyal to Lin Xiao, it didn't mean that they really believed in Lin Xiao. To make them give 100% loyalty, it depends on whether Lin Xiao has the ability or not.
"Bang!"
With a loud sound, the head of the aristocratic family who ridiculed them the most was directly sent flying by Lin Xiao's slap.
Although these family heads weren't weak, they were only at the peak of the Heartbeat Realm or the early stage of the Golden Core Realm. In front of Lin Xiao, who had the first stage of the Golden Core Realm, they weren't enough.
This family head fell heavily on the ground and spat out a large mouthful of blood. It seemed that his injuries weren't light. Seeing this scene, the other family heads didn't dare to say anything.
Even Lin Yuntian's subordinates were stunned.
Were their eyes playing tricks on them?
Wasn't Lin Xiao only at the first level of the Heart Stirring Realm? How did he manage to send an existence at the peak of the Heart Stirring Realm flying with a single slap?
Could it be that he …
While everyone was stunned, Lin Xiao raised his eyes and looked at them. There was an indescribable sharpness in his eyes. His tone was cold. "Is my strength enough now?"
This answer was very unyielding.
You're questioning my strength?
Fine, then I'll speak with facts.
When the facts were in front of them, those family heads had nothing to say. Lin Yuntian's subordinates were also excited. They asked expectantly, "City Lord has broken through to the Golden Core Realm?"
"That's right."
Lin Xiao gave an affirmative answer. At the same time, he no longer concealed his aura of the Golden Core Realm. His gaze was like a sword as it swept across the family heads with ulterior motives. He said coldly, "This afternoon, I just reached the first stage of the Golden Core Realm. I believe that if I'm given another five years, I will be able to break through to the Out of Aperture Realm!"
"Hiss!"
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, gasps could be heard from all around.
Lin Xiao's words could be said to be extremely arrogant.
But at this time, no one dared to refute. This was because Lin Xiao had already done something that none of them could do.
At the age of 20, he had broken through to the first stage of the Golden Core Realm.
This was a genius that had never appeared in their Jiangxia City!
"God bless our Jiangxia City!"
After a short silence, Lin Yuntian's subordinates had an excited look on their faces. It was as if they were drunk as they shouted excitedly.
In their opinion, Lin Yuntian's poisoning was originally a disaster for Jiangxia City. However, Lin Xiao was not flustered in the face of danger. Not only was his conduct and ability outstanding, even his cultivation talent was so outstanding. Wasn't this a blessing for their Jiangxia City?
"Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 energy points. "
"Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining 200 energy points. "
"Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining 500 energy points. "
…
With Lin Yuntian's subordinates' loyalty, many of the neutral aristocratic families looked at Lin Xiao in a different light. Their gazes were filled with worship and fanaticism.
The system's notifications kept ringing, causing Lin Xiao's lips to curl into a confident smile.
Those present were the backbone of Jiangxia City. The energy points brought by their hearts were not something that ordinary people could compare with.
These 800 energy points instantly caused Lin Xiao's energy points to reach 3100 points.
However, with the increase of Lin Xiao's strength, the energy points required for the summoning had also increased. There was still a gap to reach 5000 energy points for the summoning.
But it didn't matter. Lin Xiao now had a reward for completing a side mission: a chance to summon.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiao couldn't wait to end the coronation ceremony. After the necessary procedures were completed, Lin Xiao casually knocked on the heads of the aristocratic families present and returned to his room.
Closing the door, Lin Xiao was about to start the summoning when his father, Lin Yuntian, arrived.
