Chapter 124 The Dog-Beating Stick (Part 8)
Xing Jian was thinking about how to train Lin Xiu in the future. With the Holy Son Selection approaching, he wondered if there was a quick way to train him so that even if he couldn't beat Bai Ke, he wouldn't be completely fooled by him.
It's not that Lin Xiu is stupid or dumb; the difference lies only in his ability to adapt to changing circumstances. In Xing Jian's opinion, Lin Xiu is really terrible at this.
Given his status, he would naturally have access to general information about this Holy Son Election. Without his backing, he couldn't imagine what Lin Xiu might do.
He initially thought Lin Xiu's performance was decent, but with Bai Ke's outstanding performance preceding him, the difference naturally became apparent when comparing the two.
Xing Jian's gaze was deep. While one could cultivate swordsmanship in seclusion, the ability to adapt to changing circumstances was not something that could be developed simply by going into seclusion.
Bai Ke's manner of dealing with people was neither humble nor arrogant, but rather natural and unrestrained, displaying the demeanor of a master. How could Bai Yan have trained such a person?
That stinky rock only knows how to shut people up. If he can't shut them up, he'll force them into submission. With a personality like that, how could he possibly raise such a charming and shrewd son?
Therefore, there must be another figure standing behind Bai Ke. In addition to the two levels of cultivation coordination in the last election, the support of other elders will also be considered.
If there are other entities behind Bai Ke, then the selection of the Holy Son becomes even more unpredictable, but...
Xing Jian wanted to burst into laughter when he thought that Bai Ke had actually agreed to help Lin Xiu break through. He was still too young after all!
He had originally planned for Bai Ke to drag out the bet, and then he would send someone to annoy and bother Bai Ke, affecting his performance.
Unexpectedly, despite his intelligence, Bai Ke still couldn't resist the temper of a young man and couldn't resist the slightest provocation, so he actually agreed.
He smiled with narrowed eyes. As long as Lin Xiu could match Bai Ke in cultivation level, there would be a lot more room for maneuver in the remaining aspects.
He is no less capable than others in terms of hard power, but he is a little lacking in soft skills such as interpersonal skills and adaptability. As long as he doesn't cause any major trouble, Xing Jian has plenty of ways to outmaneuver others.
Hmph, ever since that incident, Xing Jian's cultivation has stopped at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage. But if those people really think they have him cornered, then let's wait and see!
In the path of cultivation, wealth, companions, methods, and environment are of utmost importance. Xing Jian will let others recognize the majesty of the dignified elder in charge of Wanbao Hall!
Lin Xiu had no idea that his father had so many thoughts running through his mind in such a short time; he just stared in shock at the simple sect hall in front of him.
The stone palace, built with black and white boulders, certainly cannot compare in appearance to other palaces with carved beams and painted rafters, exuding auspicious energy.
Although it naturally possesses a unique artistic conception that makes it impossible to regard it as an ordinary stone hall, it is still far from what he imagined.
In recent years, the world of mountains and seas has entered a new era of exploration beyond its borders. With the discovery of numerous small worlds, more and more resources have flowed into the world of mountains and seas through various means and channels.
As a result, extravagance is rampant in the major sects of the Mountain and Sea Realm. For example, Lin Xiu had heard that there was a sect under his own Heavenly Domain whose buildings were constructed entirely of top-grade spirit stones.
It seems that the sect started by reselling the Xuanbing pills that flowed out of Tian Ce Palace, and then discovered many small worlds with abundant resources, which is why they are so extravagant.
Regardless of the other sects, Lin Xiu was quite surprised that the main hall of the Tian Ce Palace, a powerful overlord of a region, was so simple.
The main hall of Tian Ce Palace is not usually open to the public except for elders' meetings. Due to its special nature, it is only opened separately when a disciple is promoted to elder.
This serves two purposes: firstly, to give them the opportunity to comprehend the reincarnation concept left by their ancestors; and secondly, to use this opportunity to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.
Therefore, this was the first time that Lin Xiu and Bai Ke had come to the main hall of the Heavenly Capital Palace. Compared with Bai Ke's composure, Lin Xiu seemed much more excited.
Especially after personally experiencing the concept of reincarnation left by the founder of Tian Ce Palace, he was so excited that he forgot himself.
Unlike Bai Ke, who received special "attention" when he first entered the stone hall, Lin Xiu easily walked to the center of the stone hall.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, my son Lin Xiu has been brought here!" Xing Jian stepped forward and bowed. Lin Xiu also hurriedly followed his father's example and greeted the Sect Leader and the other elders.
Ning Fengyi laughed heartily, "Good! Junior Nephew Lin is indeed a dragon among men. I observe that your foundation is solid and your spiritual energy is rising. You must be close to achieving the Primordial Spirit!"
Bai Ke curled his lips upon hearing this. This Ning Fengyi is truly shameless. Lin Xiu clearly had his spiritual energy dissipated due to consuming too many pills, yet this old white-faced man openly lied!
Regardless of Bai Ke's complaints, Lin Xiu bowed deeply in humility and said, "Lin Xiu thanks the sect leader for his kind words!"
He then flipped himself up, stood up, and returned to Xing Jian's side, standing sideways and waiting for the group of elders to speak.
When Xing Jian notified him, he only told him that a great opportunity awaited him and that he should immediately put down what he was doing and come over.
Xing Jian didn't have time to say anything else to Lin Xiu along the way, but as soon as they arrived, the sect leader said that Lin Xiu's primordial spirit was promising, which made him extremely happy.
Only those who are close to him know their own situation. His Golden Core Perfection was achieved through Xing Jiansheng's use of medicinal pills, and he has been circulating his internal energy to digest the medicinal power these past few days.
Now the sect leader actually says that his primordial spirit has hope. The dignified sect leader of Tian Ce Palace would definitely not lie to him. His own father didn't say anything either. Could it be...?
Lin Xiu wasn't stupid. Since his father had urgently summoned him, and the sect leader had suddenly said that his primordial spirit was on the horizon, it was clear that this opportunity was related to a breakthrough...
He looked up at Xing Jian and saw that the corners of his mouth were turned up, and he was obviously in a good mood. He immediately felt certain that it was true!
Putting aside the future arrangements for Lin Xiu, Xing Jian cupped his hands to Ning Fengyi and said, "Sect Leader, there's no time to lose. Since Lin Xiu is already here, let's do it now!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiu looked at his father and the sect leader with a puzzled expression. What exactly was this opportunity? Why did the sect leader and so many elders have to wait for him?
Moreover... what Lin Xiu found most strange was... from what they said, he felt like he had been a subject of some kind of experiment.
Ning Fengyi smiled and nodded, then asked Bai Ke, who was standing beside her, "Junior Nephew Bai, everything is ready now, except for your stone wall projection. Is there anything inconvenient about it?"
Bai Ke smiled and cupped his hands to Ning Fengyi, saying, "Everything is ready. If Junior Brother Lin is ready, then let's begin!"
Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow. Only then did he notice the young man standing among the elders. What? This pretty boy who suddenly jumped out and called him junior brother was related to that opportunity?
