Wang Di soon turned to Wu Gui, "Martial brother, I'm heading to refine elixirs. You come with me?"
"Exactly what I had in mind," Wu Gui beamed.
Their conversation aroused curiosity in Wang Manyun, "To refine elixirs? Count me in!"
Not knowing whether it was proper or not, Wang Di cast eyes on Wu Gui. Nevertheless, Wu Gui simply responded with a shrug, signaling a "yes".
It was fairly conceivable. Lin Xiao just treated Wang Manyun with great respect for her courage and appreciation for her concern. Hence, there would no longer any excuse to turn her away.
While Wu Gui, Wang Di, and Wang Manyun were on their way to the Furnace Hall, Lin Xiao and the three Chief Seniors already made their way to Li Taixuan's place instead of the Congress Hall. They had to consult the patriarch first. And Li Taixuan had no option but to be confined within his residence for the time being. However, Lin Xiao didn't give it to the three chief seniors straight. Did that mean that Lin Xiao didn't trust them? No. He did that lest gratuitous troubles.
Lin Xiao's disappearance was also known to Li Taixuan. He paced to and fro, like a cat on a hot tin roof. For a couple of times, he was tempted to rush out of his room regardless of the consequences. It was just as well the impulsive attempts didn't materialize. Luckily, Lin Xiao's timely appearance ceased his intention to get out of the residence and cause any troubles. He finally felt relieved.
Li Taixuan's reaction deranged Lin Xiao quite a bit. Hence, he hastened to apologize, "Martial master, I'm sorry. I shan't do that again." He bowed to Li Taixuan, head downcast.
Hardly had Li Taixuan got seated when he bounced up out of scare. Then he followed suit, with head lower than Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao's bow, no, the junior martial master's bow, was too much for him to take.
Lin Xiao went bewildered, speechless. What was he supposed to do? Just let it be. Then Lin Xiao pointed at Zou Qiang, "He is a domestic Suomo disciple. His practice of the Fiendish Blockade Method already reached the third stage. He gave me some clues of the method."
In the meantime, Li Taixuan and the three chief seniors listened with all ears. They all looked amazed and wishful.
The Lin Xiao reached the next point, "The Fiendish Blockade could be rendered useless." He skipped over the verdict as if it had been nothing serious. However, Li Taixuan and the three seniors all went overwhelmed with intense thrill. They looked up at Lin Xiao unanimously as if they had been worshipping a god.
Lin Xiao went on, "You know, the fiendish spiral force generated by the method can consume a warrior's spiritual energy. The how does it work? It has to bring down the warrior's fortifications in his body. No regular martial cultivation methods are able to counter that. That brings me to the key point — to change the methods. Then we'll have what it takes to deal with the fiendish spiral force."
The tertiary chief senior cast keen eyes on Lin Xiao and raised a question, "You're right about it. But you know we don't have methods of that kind in the sect. Do you mean…" He almost went out of breath.
Lin Xiao shook his head. He did have such methods — The Doctrines of Limbo. However, it was a terribly difficult task for the Taixuan disciples to fulfill. Even if Lin Xiao made them do, it would only incur a disaster.
As a matter of fact, Lin Xiao wanted to modify the cultivation methods rather than change them.
