Ling Xiao chatted with Yun Xiong for more than an hour before returning to his courtyard.
However, as soon as he returned to his courtyard, someone was waiting for him, and it seemed like he had been waiting for quite some time.
When the man saw Ling Bi, he immediately bowed and said, "Greetings, Elder Ling."
"Chief Steward Xing, there's no need to be so formal. You can just call me by my name," Ling Xiao said with a wave of his hand.
The person who had come was the Inner Court Deacon, Chief Steward Xing Zhantian.
Xing Zhantian immediately said, "I don't dare."
The hierarchy in the Purple Sky Sect was relatively strict, and as an Inner Court Deacon, he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Chief Steward Xing, have you gathered the spirit herbs for the King Entering Pill?" Ling Xiao asked.
Previously, he had promised Xing Zhantian to help him refine a King Entering Pill, and now that three months had passed, Ling Xiao believed that Xing Zhantian should have already gathered the spirit herbs.
Sure enough, just as Ling Xiao said, Xing Zhantian took out a lot of spirit herbs from his spatial ring and placed them in front of Ling Xiao.
There seemed to be a lot of spirit herbs in front of him, but in Ling Xiao's opinion, he was still missing one or two main ingredients.
"Chief Steward Xing, is there something missing?" Ling Xiao didn't speak too directly.
Xing Zhantian smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm still missing a Golden Tongue Orchid and a Six Star Flower. These two are high-grade Fourth Tier spirit herbs, they … they're really hard to find. Does Elder Ling have any other spirit herbs to replace them?"
In the past three months, Xing Zhantian had rummaged through the Purple Heaven Sect and Purple Heaven City. He had also ordered others to help him search for Spirit Grasses. With great difficulty, he had gathered most of the Spirit Grasses, but he was still missing two main Spirit Grasses. This made him very anxious, so he could only come to Ling Xiao's place to inquire about the situation.
He had to be crazy about stepping into the King Entering Pill Realm. Otherwise, when Ling Xiao went to participate in the Sect Oath Assembly, he didn't know when he would be able to refine pills for him.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about this, I'll accept your spirit herbs first. I'll go ask my master if he has them. If he does, I'll help you refine them as soon as possible."
Xing Zhantian was overjoyed. "Then I'll have to trouble Elder Ling."
"You don't have to be so polite. I don't even know if my master has any," Ling Xiao replied. Then he asked, "Supervisor Xing, do you have any Xuan skills like zither scores?"
"No, Elder Ling is also proficient in the zither?" Xing Zhantian shook his head and asked.
"No, I'm looking for it for a friend. Since you don't have it, it's fine," Ling Xiao replied.
"If Elder Ling really wants it, I have an idea," Xing Zhantian suggested.
"Tell me about it."
"Elder Ling only needs to send out the news that whoever has the zither score Xuan Skill will refine a medicinal pill for that person. I'm sure that there will definitely be a reward," Xing Zhantian explained.
Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and felt that Xing Zhantian's idea was not bad.
As such, he instructed Xing Zhantian to spread the news. At the same time, he agreed to help Xing Zhantian refine the King Ruining Pill as soon as possible.
Only then did Xing Zhantian happily leave Ling Xiao's courtyard.
In actuality, Ling Xiao did have the two spirit herbs that Xing Zhantian lacked, but he could not let Xing Zhantian know about it. Otherwise, if the news were to spread, everyone would think that he was extremely wealthy.
The spatial ring that the High Priest had given him was not just a small amount of spirit herbs and Beast Cores. It was not much different from the spatial ring that he had obtained in the secret realm.
After sending Xing Zhantian away, Ling Xiao returned to his room and instructed the maidservants to wash him up and change his clothes.
Ling Xiao had always liked to be clean, and his body had long since become uncomfortable after being in seclusion for so long.
After washing up, Ling Xiao did not think of anything else and simply dove into his room to sleep.
When a new day arrived, Ling Xiao began to help Xing Zhantian refine the King Ruining Pill.
The King Ruining Pill was considered a mid-tier pill among fourth-grade pills, and it was not easy to refine.
If not for the help of the Obsidian Cauldron, Ling Xiao would not have been able to refine it so easily, let alone the King Ruining Pill.
Ling Xiao did not leave his room for three days in a row as he focused on refining the King Ruining Pill.
He was not only refining them for Xing Zhantian, but also refining a few more so that when he returned to the family in the future, his grandfather or the other elders would be able to break through to the King Stage. This way, it would not be difficult for the Ling Family to continue dominating Meteor City.
When Ling Xiao came out of seclusion, there were a few unexpected guests in his courtyard.
Ling Xiao had just walked out of his room when a maidservant respectfully said to Ling Xiao, "Greetings, Elder. Someone is looking for you in the guest hall."
"Let them wait for a moment. I'll go over after bathing and changing my clothes," Ling Xiao replied with a nod.
This wasn't because Ling Xiao was putting on airs, but because he had been refining pills for the past few days and looked extremely sloppy. There was even a sour smell of medicine on his body. How could he meet a guest in this state?
An hour later, Ling Xiao's entire body looked brand new. He was wearing a set of black martial robes that made his tall and slender figure look even more Dignified. He looked extraordinarily handsome and high-spirited.
Ling Xiao flicked his ink-black hair and took light steps into the hall.
When he arrived in the hall, Ling Xiao was a bit dumbfounded. He wondered if his senses were playing tricks on him. Why were there so many beauties here?
Ling Xiao foolishly rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Could this be an illusion?"
"Haha, Junior Brother, you're so silly that it's cute." Yu Lieyan twisted her slender waist and walked over to Ling Xiao's side. At the same time, she wrapped a hand around Ling Xiao's arm and used her breasts to rub against him a few times.
Looking at Yu Lieyan's flirtatious eyes and feeling her soft breasts, Ling Xiao almost fell into her trap.
"How shameless!" An icy woman sitting not far away coldly snorted.
This woman was none other than Bing Ruoshui.
Aside from Bing Ruoshui, there was actually another beautiful woman. It was the Jade Spring Pavilion's Wen Kedie.
Ling Xiao really hadn't expected that they would all come looking for him. In his heart, he thought, "It's also a sin to be too handsome!"
Yu Lieyan didn't get angry and instead smiled. "Junior Sister, is it wrong for others to like you?"
"Hmph, he's my man. You can't like him." Bing Ruoshui stood up and said coldly. Then she walked over to Ling Xiao's other side like Yu Lieyan and hugged his other arm.
Bing Ruoshui's breasts weren't as voluptuous as Yu Lieyan's, but they were still voluptuous. That made Ling Xiao's heart skip a beat.
At this moment, Wen Kedie, who was sitting, rolled her pretty eyes and threw herself into Ling Xiao's arms. She shyly said, "Brother Xiao, I miss you so much. You haven't come to see me for so long."
"Puff!" Ling Xiao nearly spat out blood.
Yu Lieyan and Bing Ruoshui were twisting around Ling Xiao's waist, staring at Ling Xiao. They seemed to be very angry.
Ling Xiao felt so wronged!
He felt like he couldn't enjoy such a great fortune.
"Alright, can you all loosen up a bit? Although I'm very handsome, there's no need to be so enthusiastic. Otherwise, I won't be able to take it." Ling Xiao didn't move an inch.
"You … You are so shameless." Bing Ruoshui was the most embarrassed one, so she let go of Ling Xiao's arm.
Yu Lieyan was still holding Ling Xiao's arm and said, "Of course your man is the most handsome. Otherwise, how can you like him?"
"That's right. I like you too." Wen Kedie, who was in Ling Xiao's arms, agreed.
Ling Xiao looked down at Wen Kedie and smiled. "If you like me, then let me kiss you first."
Then Ling Xiao lowered his head and kissed Wen Kedie.
"Ah!"
Wen Ke Die cried out in fear and immediately ran away.
She just wanted to tease Ling Xiao, but she didn't expect Ling Xiao to take it seriously.
She was still a virgin. Although she was naughty, she wouldn't do anything out of line.
Ling Xiao had naturally guessed this, so his words scared Wen Kedie back to her original form.
Yu Lieyan smiled. "Junior apprentice-sister Wen is shy. How about junior apprentice-brother kiss senior apprentice-sister?"
After saying that, Yu Lieyan even puckered her sexy lips, which were filled with extreme temptation.
Ling Xiao didn't dare to touch this thorny rose. He forced a smile and pulled his hand back. "Why did you come looking for me?"
Ling Xiao's words caused the three women to reveal embarrassed expressions.
Ling Xiao thought to himself, "Could it be that these three women want to help me warm up my bed?"
Bing Ruoshui hesitated for a moment before lightly saying, "I need a Spirit Breaking Pill."
Someone spoke up, and someone else followed.
Yu Lieyan also quickly said, "Junior apprentice-brother, I also want a Spirit Breaking Pill."
"Senior apprentice-brother, I also want one." Wen Kedie also begged.
Ling Xiao was speechless. It turned out that these three women had also come to ask for a pill.
Ling Xiao shrugged. "If you need a Spirit Breaking Pill, you can go to Medicine Peak to refine it. I don't have that many spirit herbs for you to refine."
Although Ling Xiao liked beautiful women, Yun Mengqi was in the sect, and he didn't dare to act rashly. Furthermore, he didn't have an abundance of third-grade spirit herbs, so he had to use them sparingly. In the future, he would need even more spirit herbs.
"Are you going to refine it or not?" Bing Ruoshui coldly asked again.
This time, Ling Xiao was too embarrassed to refuse. After all, Bing Ruoshui had given him a third-grade Ice Spirit Pill in Firefire Valley, and he still had to repay this favor.
"I can help you refine one," Ling Xiao replied.
"Junior apprentice-brother, how can you be so biased?
I also want one. "Yu Lieyan was unwilling and once again hugged Ling Xiao's hand, constantly shaking it.
Ling Xiao was squeezed by that soft flesh, and he helplessly replied, "Fine, I also want one."
Wen Kedie was unwilling to be outdone and once again threw herself into Ling Xiao's embrace. "Good senior apprentice-brother … I also want one … I also want one …"
Wen Kedie was the daughter of the Jade Spring Pavilion's pavilion master, so Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
He sighed inwardly, "It's hard to accept a beauty's kindness!"
"This is my good senior brother." After Wen Ke Die finished acting coquettishly, she praised him and then retreated.
Ling Xiao sighed. "You should know that using medicinal pills to break through won't be of much benefit to you in the future. Furthermore, you're already at the peak of the low level, and you're not far from breaking through to the middle level."
Although medicinal pills could speed up a martial artist's breakthrough, it would also weaken a martial artist's foundation, which would be detrimental to future breakthroughs.
"The Sect Oath Assembly is about to begin. We don't have much time," Bing Ruoshui replied.
Yu Lieyan and Wen Kedie both nodded, indicating that they had the same idea as Bing Ruoshui.
"So that's how it is." Ling Xiao finally understood why they were in such a rush to break through.
It turned out that they were going for the Sect Oath Assembly.
It seemed that this Sect Oath Assembly was going to cause a storm!
