"The sound of the zither can hurt people?" Ji Beixin asked with her eyes wide open.
"Of course, but it still requires a cultivation process. You can't just casually play the zither to hurt people." Ling Xiao nodded.
In fact, the reason he was looking for the zither score in the sect was to let Ji Beixin cultivate her zither skills. This was more practical than letting her cultivate other profound skills.
As long as Ji Beixin's strength increased, her zither skills could not only confuse the minds of others, but also behead them, making it impossible to guard against.
Ling Xiao could already confirm that the energy sealed in Ji Beixin's body was definitely of the wind attribute, and Ji Beixin would definitely be of the wind attribute in the future. In order to let her make better use of the energy earlier, Ling Xiao imparted the chant of the Divine Wind Technique to Ji Beixin.
Ji Beixin's memory was quite amazing. Ling Xiao only said it two or three times and she remembered it all.
After learning the chant, Ji Beixin couldn't wait to cultivate it, but Ling Xiao stopped her.
"Don't be anxious, don't we have a better cultivation method?" Ling Xiao said with a smirk.
Ji Beixin looked at Ling Xiao's "cunning" smile and knew what Ling Xiao was going to do. She lowered her head slightly, and her face immediately became as red as the setting sun.
Ling Xiao's fingers moved. Without saying anything, he immediately grabbed Ji Beixin and rushed into the room.
Ever since the last time he had sex with Ji Beixin, Ling Xiao discovered that there was a powerful energy in Ji Beixin's body, and it had a certain relationship with the Innate Yin Wind Bead in his sea of consciousness.
This time, he not only wanted to have sex with Ji Beixin, he also wanted to feel it again to see if he could find out if the energy in Ji Beixin's body was dangerous.
If one day the energy seal was undone, the energy that burst out would definitely cause Ji Beixin to explode.
For the sake of his woman, Ling Xiao had no choice but to be cautious.
While Ling Xiao was moving from shallow to deep and from deep to shallow, the Innate Yin Wind Bead started to move again. A gust of Innate Yin Wind Evil Qi flowed from his body to Ji Beixin's body, and from Ji Beixin's body back to his body. The cycle continued, and the gust of Innate Yin Wind Evil Qi grew stronger.
Ji Beixin had already been enveloped by the movement of happiness. Her delicate body twisted crazily, and she kept moaning loudly.
Although Ling Xiao wanted to enjoy all this, he had to multitask. He began to think of a way to understand what was going on with the energy in Ji Beixin's body.
However, every time Ling Xiao wanted to use his mental senses to understand that mass of energy, he seemed to be blocked by layers of obstacles. There was no need for him to understand the inside story.
After trying a few times, Ling Xiao gave up on the idea. He only hoped that the energy would belong to Ji Beixin in the future. Otherwise, he didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse.
The two of them fought for a day and a night before finally settling down.
This time, Ji Beixin had actually reached the peak of the Mystic Realm. She only needed to convert her own element to reach the Mystic Realm.
Ling Xiao couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the speed of cultivation.
Before leaving the city lord's mansion, Ling Xiao left the Wind Shadow Zither and the music score to Ji Beixin. At the same time, he told Ji Tu to prepare to hand over the position of city lord.
This was because Ling Xiao hoped that Ji Tu could use his King Entering Pill to break through in the sect.
Now, with his relationship with Ling Xiao, it would be a piece of cake for Ji Tu to enter the sect to cultivate. Moreover, Mu Huai loved Ling Xiao very much. Ji Tu's position as an inner sect deacon was even arranged by Mu Huai.
Ji Tu agreed to Ling Xiao's suggestion without a second thought.
He already had a chance to break through to the Monarch Realm, so why would he be reluctant to leave this worldly power?
After settling everything, Ling Xiao rushed back to the sect.
Ling Xiao didn't have much time to spare. He immediately entered his alchemy room to refine the Spirit Breaking Pill for Bing Ruoshui, Yu Yanlie and the others.
Refining the Spirit Breaking Pill didn't take long for Ling Xiao. But just as he finished, Wen Kedie of the Jade Spring Pavilion once again came to his cultivation courtyard.
This time, she hadn't come alone. Her mother, Wen Haiyan, had come with her.
When he saw Wen Haiyan, Ling Xiao was a bit surprised. Although he was now an elder, there was still a gap between him and the Peak Lord of the nine peaks. Fortunately, he was a fourth rank alchemist. With this noble status, he wasn't necessarily inferior to Wen Haiyan.
"Ling Xiao greets Elder Wen. I didn't know that Elder Wen would come. It's my fault for not coming out to greet you." Ling Xiao was unusually polite.
He and Wen Haiyan were somewhat familiar with each other and knew that this beautiful woman had a good personality. He was also willing to address her as a junior to show his respect.
Wen Haiyan was very satisfied with Ling Xiao's appropriate gesture and immediately said politely, "Elder Ling … No, I should call you Grandmaster Ling. You and I are from the same sect, and you are Senior Brother Mu's disciple, so you should call me Martial Uncle."
Ling Xiao hurriedly called her "Martial Uncle Wen" again, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Martial Uncle, don't call me Grandmaster Ling, just call me by my name."
Wen Haiyan smiled and said, "Haha, good, I won't say any more polite words. I heard from Kedie that you can help our Jade Spring Pavilion refine King Entering Pills or King Advancement Pills first, so I came here today to deliver spirit grasses."
Wen Haiyan didn't wait for Ling Xiao to speak before her Space Ring flashed and a large pile of spirit grasses appeared in front of Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao really didn't expect Wen Haiyan to act so quickly. Even their Wood Flag Peak couldn't gather so many spirit grasses at this speed.
Wen Haiyan continued, "These spirit grasses are the collection of our Jade Spring Pavilion for many years. Xiao Xiao, you must refine a few good pills for our Jade Spring Pavilion. The extra spirit grasses will be given to Xiao Xiao. In any case, they are useless to our Jade Spring Pavilion."
Ling Xiao naturally wouldn't be polite with Wen Haiyan. After all, he still needed these spirit grasses to refine King Entering Pills for Yu Cangjiang.
"Rest assured, Martial Uncle, Ling Xiao will naturally do his best to refine the pills for Martial Uncle," Ling Xiao replied as he put away the spirit grasses.
"Then I'll have to trouble you. If you need anything from our Jade Spring Pavilion in the future, just let me know," Wen Haiyan replied happily.
On the day the pills were refined, their Jade Spring Pavilion's strength would definitely soar. What if she wasn't happy?
Ling Xiao and Wen Haiyan exchanged a few more polite words before he remembered that he had refined the Spirit Breaking Pill. He took it out and handed it to Wen Kedie, who had been staring at him without saying a word, "Junior Sister, this is the Spirit Breaking Pill you wanted."
Wen Kedie didn't know what she was thinking. Even though Ling Xiao had called out to her, she was still in a daze and didn't take the pill from Ling Xiao.
Wen Haiyan, who was standing to the side, shouted, "Die 'er, your Senior Brother is giving you a pill, hurry up and take it."
Wen Kedie seemed to have woken up from a dream, and her face flushed red. She thanked Ling Xiao and took the pill.
Ling Xiao thought to himself, "Could it be that this girl has really fallen in love with this Young Master?"
At this time, Wen Haiyan said, "Kedie, you leave first. I have a few words to say to your Senior Brother."
Wen Kedie hesitated for a moment. She glanced at Ling Xiao and quickly walked out of the hall.
However, she didn't go far. She just hid at the door and eavesdropped.
Her small actions naturally couldn't satisfy Wen Haiyan and Ling Xiao.
Wen Haiyan didn't expose her, so Ling Xiao naturally wouldn't point it out.
"Martial Uncle, what can I do for you?" Ling Xiao asked.
"It's not a big deal. I just hope that you can take care of Kedie during the Sect Oath Assembly. Try your best not to let her get hurt. How about this, Martial Uncle owes you a favor?" Wen Haiyan said.
Ling Xiao didn't even think before agreeing, "As a Senior Brother, I will naturally take good care of Junior Sister."
Wen Kedie was only a high level Mystic Disciple. Even if she had the Spirit Breaking Pill and broke through to a low level Spirit Master, her strength wouldn't be too stable. Ling Xiao was already a high level Spirit Master. With Wen Haiyan's suggestion, Ling Xiao naturally wouldn't think too much about it.
"That's good." Wen Haiyan thought for a moment and then said, "Xiao Xiao, what do you think of my family's Kedie?"
Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat. "Could it be that they want to force her into marriage?"
Although Ling Xiao thought this, he naturally didn't dare to say it. He said with a straight face, "Junior Sister Kedie is gentle and charming. Her beauty is unparalleled. Of course, she is a little beauty that everyone loves."
Although Ling Xiao's words were praising Wen Kedie, he specially emphasized the word "little". This also indicated that he had no interest in this kind of brat.
Wen Kedie's beauty didn't lose out to Yu Lieyan or Bing Ruoshui, but her personality was still a bit mischievous. Ling Xiao had always been more interested in mature women. It wasn't that he didn't like young beauties like Wen Kedie, it was that he didn't want to accept her. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for him to get past Yun Mengqi. One had to know that he already had a few women behind his back. If he got too many lovers, it would be disastrous.
Wen Kedie, who was outside the door, didn't understand Ling Xiao's meaning. She was extremely pleased with herself as she thought, "Hmph, at least your eyes aren't blind. You know that this lady's beauty is unparalleled."
Wen Haiyan didn't think too much about it. She thought that Ling Xiao also had a good impression of her daughter. She then said, "Xiao Xiao, what you said is right. But Kedie is very popular in the sect among the senior brothers. There are already many people who have proposed marriage to me."
When Wen Haiyan said this, she had been paying attention to Ling Xiao's expression the entire time.
Ling Xiao ignored Wen Haiyan's gaze and happily replied, "Then I can congratulate Martial Uncle. For a beauty like Junior Sister, there must be a senior brother with outstanding appearance and ability to be worthy of Junior Sister!"
Ling Xiao's words were extremely sincere, without the slightest bit of pretense.
Wen Kedie, who was outside the door, lightly stomped her feet and muttered, "What a piece of wood!"
Wen Haiyan followed up, "I also think that what you said is right. There aren't many youths in the sect who have outstanding character and appearance!"
Ling Xiao didn't know what Wen Haiyan meant, but he continued, "Maybe Martial Uncle's standards are too high. Everyone in our peaks is a genius."
"There are many geniuses, but there is only one who can enter Martial Uncle's eyes!" Wen Haiyan said as she stared at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao's heart trembled. Could it be … He didn't dare to think any further.
Outside the door, Wen Kedie's heart was beating even faster.
Ling Xiao acted like a fool and said, "Then I must congratulate Martial Uncle in advance. When the time comes, I must prepare a generous gift for Junior Sister."
"Actually, you also know this person. Moreover, you are very familiar with him." Wen Haiyan saw that Ling Xiao couldn't understand and was ready to say it out loud.
Ling Xiao could only answer, "I wonder which senior brother it is?"
"I want to marry Kedie to you, Xiao Xiao. What do you think?" Wen Haiyan said seriously.
