Chapter 90
Li Taixuan intended to tell him off on seeing it being Wu Gui acting obtrusively. But on hearing Lin Xiaos name, he left everything behind and hastened to ask with anxiety, "What happened to him?"
"Brother Lin picked...picked a terribly trashy cultivation method book, " Wu Gui responded.
After Lin Xiao left, Wu Gui found it increasingly appropriate that Lin made a wrong choice. Hence he rushed to Li Taixuan for help, as he was unable to convince Lin Xiao.
"Throw some light upon it, " Li Taixuan urged. He was rather concerned about his martial uncleLin Xiao.
Then Wu Gui gave a description of the whole thing at length.
"Now Ive got the whole picture. You can return for now, " Li Taixuan said in a composed tone, bidding Wu Gui leave with a waving hand
Hardly had Wu Gui stepped out of the door when he heard Li Taixuan saying, "You did a good job this time.
Do follow up with your Brother...Brother Lins updates from now on."
"Yes, sir, " Wu Gui answered in elation. He had seldom been praised by his master before. Just a report on Lin Xiaos news ushered in the masters affirmation of his work. Wu Gui felt high in spirits, striding away with joy and expedition.
After Wu Gui left, Li Taixuan cast away his prior poise and paced his room to and fro. Then he pulled his door open and went off as well.
Upon his arrival at Lin Xiaos room, Li Taixuan spotted Lin reading the more than modest The Refining Divine Pithy Formula as expected. Li Taixuan got flustered as well.
"Martial Uncle, please change this book for another one. it doesn't suit you," Lin Taixuan attempted to persuade Lin Xiao. He thought, "It was ridiculous that Lin Xiaobeing such an unrivaled geniuswas reading a piece of rubbish. If Chiyan the Great Master had learned this,
this, he would definitely chop me to death. I bet it has something to do with my instruction on me giving him the wooden tokenBased on your level, you'd better do it on the ground floor. You see, your martial career resembles construction, only if you get your foundations well-laid will you have good prospects."
Li Taixuan felt remorseful to the full and continued to say, "Martial Uncle, it was indeed that your martial career resembles construction, and you will have to lay a solid foundation for your prospects. Nonetheless, what you picked was way too trashy. It will be nothing to be boasted of even if you master it with flying colors. Martial Uncle, you can in no way choose a wrong path. The whole sect will have to rely on you in the future."
Lin Xiao didn't know what to do with Li Taixuan. He was fully aware that it must have been Wu Gui
Wu Gui that tipped him off. But he was not angry at all, he knew both were doing him good.
Nevertheless, he picked The Refining Divine Pithy Formula in a bid to open the jade-slip book
Of course, that was his darkest secret which should be kept away from whoever it was, let alone Li Taixuan.
"Esteemed Patriarch, don't worry. I know what to do. Im just testing on the basic cultivation methods. Once I get familiar with it, I shall change to another book, " Lin Xiao placated Li Taixuan.
"Then... Then..." Li Taixuan said, fidgeting. He rubbed his hands fiercely, not knowing what to do. But he was unable to challenge Lin Xiao.
"Then... Martial Uncle, please feel free to give it a go. I'll visit you later, " Li Taixuan conceded.
Repeatedly looking back on his way out, Li Taixuan stood outside for a while and left sighing heavily.
Lin Xiao set his mind on The Refining Divine Pithy Formula. Divine Pithy Formula. And he started with his cultivation in a short while, eyes closed.
Gone were three days in the blink of an eye.
Within the three days, Lin Xiaos cultivation plagued Li Taixuan through and through. Being completed focused this matter, he delegated all administrative work to other seniors, even including collecting the Hedao Fruit.
Be that as it might, Li Taixuan still felt ill at ease. There were some white hair emerging on his head out of anxiety.
After three days, Li Taixuan finally reached his utmost limit. He rushed toward Lin Xiaos gate in the morning and snuck in furtively.
Lin Xiao sat in the room, cross-legged. He was in cultivation, eyes shut.
On spotting this, a jubilant sparkle flashed across Li Taixuan eyes.
Though Lin Xiao was still conducting his cultivation of the pithy formula, which was more than familiar to Li Taixuan. But with a glimpse, he was aware that Lin Xiaos cultivation was about to round off.
