Ling Xiao left Feng Qingyuan and Shu Ziqian and immediately went back to Dragon Gate.
He was not in a hurry to go to the Mysterious Sky Territory because he needed to prepare a few things first.
Ling Xiao smoothly returned to Dragon Gate and immediately went to the main hall to see Ling Chen.
Ling Chen immediately received Ling Xiao. He had heard about Ling Xiao's achievements in the Soul Divine Pond, so he was very happy about what Ling Xiao had done.
However, when he saw that Ling Xiao had reached the King God Realm, he was even more surprised.
"Good, really good, you have reached the God Realm, haha … This is the first person in our Dragon Gate's ten thousand years to reach the King God Realm at such a fast speed. Ling Xiao, you can be compared to many outstanding characters in history!" Ling Chen was very happy to praise Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao was a little embarrassed: "Gate Master, you are too polite, I was just lucky!"
Ling Chen waved his hand and said: "You don't need to be modest. The truth is in front of me, do you think I can't tell?"
After pausing for a while, he continued: "It seems like I need to hold a reward ceremony in a few days. With your Tenbin power, you have already surpassed many of your peers. Our clan will need to rely on you to carry the burden in the future!"
How old was Ling Xiao? Not to mention one hundred years old, he wasn't even eighty years old.
With his Tenbin breaking through to the King God Realm, it was the same as having a good God Base. In the future, when he wanted to reach the Incipient God Realm, he would have an innate advantage over everyone else.
Maybe after several thousand years, their Dragon Gate would have another Incipient God Realm expert. At that time, their Dragon Gate's position would be even more unshakable.
Within the Heavenly Dragon Sect, who else would dare to provoke them excessively?
Thus, Ling Chen felt that it was necessary to reward Ling Xiao.
Only a bastard wouldn't want such a good thing.
Ling Xiao wasn't a bastard, so he naturally wouldn't refuse the title that Ling Chen was going to give him.
"In a few days, you'll be a true inner sect elder of my Dragon Gate. You can't be like before, only enjoying resources and not contributing," said Ling Chen.
Ling Xiao understood very well that the development of any force could not do without all sorts of resources.
On the other hand, Ling Xiao had acknowledged his ancestry and was a member of Dragon Gate. He hadn't made any contributions yet, so Ling Chen's request was understandable.
"What do I need to do?" Ling Xiao asked.
"As an inner sect elder, you don't need to hunt holy beasts or search for holy treasures or divine materials. But if you find any divine items, you can provide them to the sect. Of course, the sect won't mistreat you. You can use divine items of the same level to exchange for divine crystals. In addition, you can choose to manage some affairs in the sect, such as commanding troops, leading teams to search for resources..." Ling Chen talked incessantly.
Ling Xiao thought about it and felt that among all the things that Ling Chen had said, only the exchange of divine items satisfied him. He wasn't too interested in the other things.
"How about it?
Do you have any suitable ones?
How about letting you manage some resource extraction? You only need to ask your subordinates to do it. You don't need to do it yourself. If you can contribute, it won't delay your cultivation. The only thing you need to do is to protect the resource industry! "said Ling Chen.
Ling Xiao shook his head and said, "Master, I can't do these things."
"No way, do you just want to enjoy it and not contribute?" Ling Chen said unhappily.
Ling Xiao said, "Of course not." As he said that, he took out a pot of Ghost God Spring and said, "Sect Master, I have a pot of Ghost God Spring here. Does this count as my contribution to the sect?"
"What, you … You said this is the Ghost God Spring?" Ling Chen said in shock.
"Of course. Back then, Brother told me that there was a divine spring there, so I went to look for it. I didn't think that I would actually get some, otherwise I wouldn't have broken through to the God King Realm so quickly. This pot should be enough for a hundred people, right?" Ling Xiao nodded and said.
Contributing such a pot of Ghost God Spring made Ling Xiao's heart ache. He had experienced a lot of danger to obtain it. Fortunately, he still had a lot in stock, otherwise he wouldn't have been willing to take it out.
Ling Chen took Ling Xiao's Ghost God Spring without any hesitation and said with a smile, "Good, good. In all these years, no one has been able to take out the Ghost God Spring from the Ghost God Pond. Ling Xiao, you should remember this great contribution. With this pot of Ghost God Spring, you can get a lot of Divine Crystals, spirit herbs, or pills for cultivation."
Dragon Gate was the number one power, so it naturally had a lot of divine items. However, this Ghost God Spring could be considered a high-grade divine item, worthy of Ling Chen's praise.
"Just give me some Divine Crystals or divine herbs!" Ling Xiao replied casually.
"Well, that's what I should do. When the time comes, I'll let the elders under me evaluate the contribution value, and then I'll have someone send it to your courtyard," Ling Chen said. Then he added, "Strive to make more contributions so that your position in the sect will be higher!"
"Yes!" Ling Xiao replied and was about to leave.
However, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Right, if I can refine a Saint Pill or a Divine Pill, is this considered a contribution to the sect?"
"Of course it is!"
Ling Chen replied casually. Suddenly, he looked at Ling Xiao seriously and said, "You … What do you mean by that?
Do you know a Saint Alchemist?
Our sect does have a lot of Saint Alchemists, but if you can rope them in, we can also give them the position of an Inner Court Deacon! "
Ling Xiao touched his nose and said, "Why should I rope them in?
I'm an alchemist! "
Ling Chen sized Ling Xiao up and down and burst into laughter, saying, "Haha, you're an alchemist?
Rank Three or Rank Four alchemist?
I'm afraid that you don't even know alchemy, right?! "
Ling Chen naturally did not believe that Ling Xiao was an alchemist. Even if he was an alchemist, it was also not up to the mark.
After all, Ling Xiao could reach Divine King Realm at such a young age. He felt that Ling Xiao spent most of his time on cultivation. How could he have the rest of the time to go and refine pills? That was an even more time-consuming occupation.
Ling Xiao was unable to explain to him for a moment and could only spread his hands and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I think I should be able to become a Divine Alchemist!"
When Ling Chen heard Ling Xiao say that he wanted to become a Divine Alchemist, he was even more incredulous.
Ling Xiao could not explain for the time being. He could only change the topic and asked about Xiao Ling's news.
Speaking of which, Ling Chen was Xiao Ling's uncle. He naturally knew about the relationship between Xiao Ling and Xiao Zhencai.
Through Ling Chen's words, Ling Xiao found out that Xiao Ling's parents had already arrived a few months ago to fetch Xiao Ling back to the Profound Sky Region. And Xiao Zhencai had nothing to do and also returned to the Xiao Family to visit relatives.
After Ling Xiao understood this fact, he also felt relieved.
After leaving the main hall, Ling Xiao immediately returned to his own courtyard.
It was just that there was an unexpected guest in his courtyard.
"Why are you here?" Ling Xiao looked at the person in his courtyard in astonishment.
That person was actually one of the most outstanding direct disciples in the sect, Chang Haoyou.
At this moment, he had already broken through to the Divine King Realm like Ling Xiao.
When he saw Ling Xiao return, he immediately stood up and looked at Ling Xiao in astonishment. Then, he bowed to Ling Xiao and said sincerely, "Thank you, Junior Ling Xiao, for saving my life!"
Ling Xiao did not expect Chang Haoyou to do this. He quickly went over and helped Chang Haoyou up. "Senior Chang, what are you doing?"
Chang Haoyou said rather seriously, "If not for you, Junior Ling Xiao, I would have died in the Ghost Divine Pond, and I would not have been able to take another step forward. I, Chang Haoyou, am not talented, but I am willing to follow Junior Brother and help Junior Brother with anything!"
Back in the Ghost Divine Pond, when Chang Haoyou fought with Yue Yong, he was injured by Yue Yong's Origin Poison Qi. Originally, he was already in a dead end, but Ling Xiao helped him block Jiang Huahu's attack and obtained the antidote to cure him.
Ling Xiao was indeed Chang Haoyou's benefactor!
Chang Haoyou was originally a person who valued friendship. Ling Xiao was able to save his life despite his misunderstanding, so he decided to follow Ling Xiao in the future.
Although the two of them were from the same sect and were both outstanding disciples, they had the right to choose to follow someone stronger than them.
For example, the dead Lei Zhengyang always had a few followers by his side, and they all followed Lei Zhengyang's lead.
And Chang Haoyou planned to help Ling Xiao from now on. He also believed that Ling Xiao's future achievements would definitely be above his, no, above all his peers.
After all, in the Ghost Divine Pond, he had personally witnessed Ling Xiao's terrifying combat strength and killing intent.
"Senior Brother Chang, please sit down first." Ling Xiao first calmed Chang Haoyou, and then he said very seriously, "Senior Brother Chang, you and I are from the same sect, and we should help each other. Why do you have to say such things? Aren't you trying to make things difficult for me?
Moreover, with Senior Brother's Tenbin and strength, you will soon become a pillar of the sect. If you follow me, I'm afraid it will only harm you. Moreover, your master will definitely not agree. Don't let your emotions affect your decisions! "
Ever since Ling Xiao began his cultivation, there were many who followed him, but he did not want anyone to be forced to follow him.
Moreover, in the entire Sky Dragon District, there were only a few monstrous geniuses like Chang Haoyou who could compare to him.
If such a person followed Ling Xiao, he had no choice but to be cautious. Otherwise, Chang Haoyou's master would probably come knocking on his door to demand an explanation!
"Junior Brother, you don't have to worry about this. I've already spoken to my master about this. In the future … if your progress is slower than mine, I will naturally leave you. But from now on, I hope to follow you everywhere and repay the kindness you have shown me!" Chang Haoyou said very seriously.
From his expression, it could be seen that he had made up his mind.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, then Senior Brother should work hard with me in the future. Let's not talk about who is following who. If you have anything to do, you can go at any time. You have your freedom. We are all Senior Brothers!"
After pausing for a moment, he smiled and said, "However, it doesn't seem possible for you to surpass me. You have to be prepared for this first!"
Chang Haoyou really didn't expect Ling Xiao to be so open-minded and magnanimous. He immediately looked at Ling Xiao gratefully and said, "En, in the future, if Junior Brother has any orders, Senior Brother will definitely do his best!"
"Hehe, don't make it sound so serious. You can choose a room here to stay first. If there's anything in the future, I will try my best to tell you. I have something to do now!" Ling Xiao laughed and walked towards the seclusion room.
He planned to let Yurou Fei, Sha Tian, and Xianyu Ye cultivate in seclusion for a period of time, and he was going to enter the last level of the Divine Cauldron.
