On hearing that, Wen Biyun already offered credence to Lin Xiao's statement, though she hadn't seen the spiritual treasure with her own eyes.
"If you don't mind, I'd like to suggest you ask for the Martial Law Gestation Elixirs instead. The Taoist Shan popped over to our sect the other day and offered a pellet of that kind to our patriarch. It must still remain untouched, as he doesn't have the heart to take it."
Lin Xiao went on giving her counsel.
The Martial Law Gestation Elixirs he produced out of a bet with Shan Chengfeng still stayed with Li Taixuan.
Lin Xiao's introduction brightened up her eyes.
If Lin Xiao had been telling the truth, she would have gone for the Martial Law Gestation Elixirs, if she could have changed her mind.
The Martial Law Gestation Elixirs, produced by the Taoist Shan, enjoyed paramount prestige in the Chijing Prefecture.
With too many disciples competing for the pellets, she never had been entitled to a single pellet. As the Martial Law Gestation Elixirs were a much-sought-after product, though the Piaomiao Pavilion of swordsmanship could procure quite a lot from the Danling Sect on a yearly basis.
She was fully aware of a poignant truth — she wouldn't have what it took to attain a pellet even if her martial capacity had reached the ninth grade.
A Martial Law Gestation Elixir would guarantee she made a martial breakthrough soon.
Hence, she made a decision forthwith.
Nevertheless, as suspicious as she was, she couldn't rush through an action.
She withdrew her sword and put on a grim smile.
"Tell me the truth, why are you helping me? What are you after?"
"Because I wanna save myself! If you found the patriarch's spiritual treasure falling short of your expectation, you would definitely vent your anger on me. And I shall end up killed by you within one move hopelessly."
Lin Xiao offered a plausible explanation and dispelled her misgivings right away.
She soon detected another doubtful point.
"Who are you? How come you are so well-informed about the Taixuan Sect's confidential issues?"
Indeed, Lin Xiao knew a lot — Li Taixuan defeated the Suomo Sect with a choreographed scheme, Li Taixuan's spiritual treasure was a subpar one, and Li had procured a Martial Law Gestation Elixir.
Compounded with the tertiary chief senior's extreme concern about him, one could tell he was anything but a mere nobody.
On thinking of that, Wen Biyun's went further with her greed.
Human beings' avarice knows no bounds.
Right then, Lin Xiao moved on.
"I'm gonna be honest with you now. As a matter of fact, I'm the last disciple of the patriarch. Diling the spiritual monster said that I had a look of a future patriarch upon my enrolment. Hence, the esteemed patriarch took me as his disciple, in a bid to let me succeed him."
Lin Xiao's surprising statement brightened up her eyes again.
The Taixuan Sect's future patriarch! What an ample resource! She could extort a bunch from him!
While she was going to ask him about other treasures in the Taixuan Sect, Lin Xiao let out a sigh.
"What a shame! It'll remain a delusion for me forever! It's a disgrace for me to have fallen in your trap! My entitlement to the patriarch's position stands no longer!"
Lin Xiao grumbled in a distressful tone.
He literally threw cold water on Wen Biyun.
Indeed, the Taixua Sect wouldn't elect him as the future patriarch.
Right then, Wen Biyun became hectic — what if Li Taixuan didn't approve of her plan and refuse to ransom Lin Xiao with a Martial Law Gestation Elixir? He was no longer cherished by them.
