Compounded with a new prescription Shan might scribble down in any of the books in high spirit, the other clans would be further pleased, for they viewed the prescription as a bonus treasure.
In addition, the Gestation Elixir, an indispensable martial booster, concerned every warrior as all of them would have to undergo a bottleneck stage.
But now Shan Chengfeng dispensed four pellets of this kind all at once, merely in the hope that Li Taixuan and his folks could break through the sealed wonderland and get Lin Xiao out.
Needless to say, Lin Xiao was of great importance to him.
Li Taixuan and some chief seniors already took the pellets and kicked started another round of attack; Shan Chengfeng joined them, exerting himself in full sail.
The bliss of being granted the Gestation Elixir, undoubtedly, didn't extend to Wu Gui. He stood there, literally blanked out. He just couldn't for the life of him figure out what made Lin Xiao such the apple of the eye for everyone.
Of course, Wu Gui dared envy Lin Xiao no more, as it dawned on him he was not on the least an equal of Lin Xiao granted that he hadn't known his place.
"Cease fire!" Shan Chengfeng realized it would lead nowhere after two attempts went down the drain. Everyone stopped after he hastily called it quits, then he started to circle around the already closed entrance to the wonderland and asked, "Suzerain Li, could you please paint me a picture, tell me how it was open and shut."
Li Taixuan was aware of Shan's dedication to rescuing Lin Xiao, hence he confided in him with no loss of detail.
But there was a specific that alerted Li, he frowned and murmured to himself, "It just doesn't feel right. Smart as Lin Xiao is, it just doesn't make sense he fell into the entrance because it used to be railed! Could it be said he was pushed inside?"
On hearing that, Shan Chengfeng threw a dry glance at Wu Gui.
What Wu Gui did to Lin Xiao in the same manner in the Elixir Furnace Hall still registered with Shan, and he believed Wu couldn't get away with it.
As an old Chinese saying goes, mindless words could be taken seriously if one cares, compounded with Shan's cold glance, Wu Gui was scared to death.
"Plop!" Wu Gui kneeled with a flop on the ground, ghostly pale, "Esteemed immortal, Master! Please spare me! It has nothing to do with me, I swear I'm innocent! Lin Xiao plunged into the entrance himself. I attempted to pull him out at the sight of it but failed as it was too late! I even crushed broken the railings because of that attempt!"
Wu Gui wept out his grievances while kept kowtowing, with his face covered with a mess of snot and tears. His forehead drummed against the solid ground restlessly and went badly mutilated in a moment.
"What?! You...Stupid! I'll sort you out later!" Li Taixuan's face turned purple with rage, then he took a deep breath and kept down his voice, "Now we have only one shot in the locker."
"Esteemed Suzerain, that was a no-no!" Hardly had Li said anything about the last resort when a senior hastened to hold him back.
"Why not! Suzerain Li, now that you came up with an idea, why don't you just act on it?! You wouldn't have what it takes to sustain the loss of Lin Xiao even at the cost of your clan as a whole!" Seeing someone having the heart to intervene, Shan went white with fury, hence he didn't give a shit to decorum.
Though Lin Xiao performed only one Fire-Control Mudra technique, the sophisticated collocations displayed took quite a while for Shan Chengfeng to make out. The moment Shan suddenly saw the light, he not only got it sorted but also sensed great progress of his own martial competence.
If only Lin could have done more － just a thought of it already made Shan jubilate in ecstasy. It was fair to say, he could have killed his father with his own hands if his father had raised from the grave and stopped him from rescuing Lin Xiao.
