Li Taixuan's reaction appeared so visceral that Lin Xiao believed he was not playacting. Hence Lin Xiao got shocked by that.
However, Lin Xiao's inquiry ended up unanswered.
"Was it because that he couldn't take so much pressure?" Lin Xiao thought to himself.
On thinking of that, Lin Xiao couldn't help but called Li Taixuan again.
But it was worth nothing that Lin Xiao used his spiritual energy this time to let out a loud cry.
Then Li Taixuan made an eerie sound, with a wave of quivers running through his body. He eventually came around.
"White?" Li Taixuan asked.
Actually, he intended to say "what", but his tongue seemed to have been twisted. Hence the mispronunciation.
While massaging his jaw with his hand, Li Taixuan struggled to put on an awkward smile.
Making such an embarrassing gaffe in front of Lin Xiao, Li Taixuan wished if only there had been a rift on the ground and he could have slipped into it.
Having no time to figure him out, Lin Xiao simply pointed at the two vases of pellets to Li Taixuan and introduced, "Martial master, this vase is filled up with the Most Refined Royal Pellets, the best tonic elixirs of the Regimen Realm for body-building. They work for warriors with their cultivation at the level of the Refining Divine Realm as well."
Looking at the man-sized vase Li Taixuan's felt that his mouth was parched and tongue scorched. He finally got the chance to have a look at them in person after painting thousands of pictures like this in his mind.
When the three chief seniors briefed Li Taixuan about the Most Refined Royal Pellets, they complimented the pellets to an utmost amount. They even said in ecstasy that a single pellet of this kind could become much-sought-after at the annual martial contest of the Taixuan Sect. Speaking of functionality, they were not inferior to the Martial Law Gestation Elixirs at all.
Li Taixuan was already thrilled to the fullest merely on hearing about the pellets. Even if Lin Xiao could only have managed dozens of this kind, it would have sufficed to equip the whole sect. They were equal of the Martial Law Gestation Elixirs after all.
However, on seeing the vase under his nose, Li Taixuan couldn't come to the terms with the fact that Lin Xiao had produced thousands of times the number of the pellets he had assumed.
Everything seemed massively simplified when it came to Lin Xiao. It might be even more difficult to harvest cabbages in the fields in this manner.
"It only makes sense if these were not be pellets but pebbles in the river. Otherwise, it was no different than tales from the Arabian Nights. It doesn't stand to any reason that Lin Xiao could have produced such a striking number of pellets within only ten days," Li Taixuan thought to himself.
Nevertheless, Li Taixuan was aware that it must have been true — these pellets were real. On thinking of this, Li Taixuan's heartbeats speeded up again.
Over the past few days, he had been meditating apart from proceeding with his cultivation. Prior to this, he had been rather self-satisfied at his achievement of composure and believed that he would stay poised come what might.
However, to his surprise, the hard-won self-composure got weakened effortlessly by Lin Xiao, his junior martial uncle.
But it was just as well that he indeed made quite a bit of progress. While taking deep breaths, Li Taixuan tried his best to meditate. Then he finally calmed down.
However, right after he exerted himself to come around, Li Taixuan heard a piece of electrifying news from Lin Xiao again.
This time, Li Taixuan lost control through and through that he nearly died on the spot.
