The Elder looked at Zhang Lexuan and could only nod in the end. The child had grown up and had ideas of her own.
"Be careful this time."
In the end, that was all Zhuang Yusen could say.
Zhang Lexuan nodded, bid Zhuang Yusen farewell, and hurried in the direction Lin Xiao had left.
She believed that Lin Xiao, a mere Soul Grandmaster, could not have gone far.
Just as she had thought, Lin Xiao had not gone far at all. But with Old Medicine there, even Zhang Lexuan failed to notice him as she passed.
After searching the area without finding him, Zhang Lexuan gave up.
"Forget it. Whether it's true or false, won't I know once I go take a look?"
Zhang Lexuan also desperately wanted to know the truth behind her family's destruction back then. She could no longer remember the details...
This was her greatest wish. Now that the opportunity was right before her, she did not want to give it up.
Having made up her mind, Zhang Lexuan left the Star Dou Great Forest and headed toward the Sun Moon Empire.
At that moment, Lin Xiao was hiding in a patch of grass.
"Xiao Xiaozi, it's safe now. You can leave."
Old Medicine's voice reached Lin Xiao's mind, carrying a hint of laziness.
Lin Xiao nodded slightly and quietly left the area.
First Zhang Lexuan, then an unknown powerhouse. Lin Xiao could only marvel at how bad his luck was.
The Star Dou Great Forest was still far too dangerous.
Having already obtained what he wanted, Lin Xiao did not linger. He glanced back at the Star Dou Great Forest, then left.
A week later, Lin Xiao appeared in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire: Heaven Dou City!
The Body Sect, the sect that protected the Heaven Dou Empire.
It was Lin Xiao's destination this time.
Hopefully, I can awaken my body martial soul there.
Lin Xiao did not know how to awaken his body martial soul, nor did he know how to explain it to Old Medicine.
His martial soul should have been the same as Du Busi's. Du Busi's martial soul was his own body, and so was Lin Xiao's.
Du Busi should have understood this kind of cultivation well.
He should also have had a good method for the second awakening of Lin Xiao's martial soul.
Besides, how could they leave Du Busi out when pulling off something big?
Du Busi was also deeply displeased with Shrek.
When the time came, Du Busi, Old Medicine, Electrolux, and Lin Xiao himself could hit Shrek with something huge.
Lin Xiao was really looking forward to it.
As he thought about this, Lin Xiao unwittingly arrived at the place where he had bought his equipment back then.
Back then, I was just a little fellow in the teens. Now I'm already level 23. It really has been fast.
With a sigh of wonder, Lin Xiao turned and headed toward the auction house from back then.
Upon arriving at the auction house, Lin Xiao immediately took out the token the old man had given him.
The young attendant warmly ushered Lin Xiao inside.
Before long, the old man appeared before Lin Xiao again.
"Senior, it's been a long time."
Lin Xiao looked at him with a smile.
The old man was extremely excited. So much time had passed, yet he had never seen Lin Xiao come to the Body Sect.
He had even made a special trip back to ask around, but there had been no one named Lin Xiao. He had already become convinced that he had been fooled.
Yet now, Lin Xiao had appeared again.
"Lin Xiao, hahaha! I thought you'd pulled one over on me, you little rascal."
The old man was greatly relieved. He had not been deceived; his eye for people was still sound.
Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly. "A few things held me up, so I only managed to come now. Sorry to have worried you, Senior."
"Senior, could you take me to the Body Sect?"
At Lin Xiao's words, the old man immediately broke into a delighted smile.
"Come, come, come! We'll leave right now."
The old man took Lin Xiao by the hand and left the Auction House. He found a carriage, and they set off together for the Body Sect.
Inside the carriage, the old man looked at Lin Xiao and asked, "Lin Xiao, I haven't asked yet. What is your body martial soul?"
If it's a good martial soul, the sect might reward me. Even if it isn't particularly good, that's fine. Making a contribution to the sect is worthwhile too.
"My martial soul is the same as the Body Sect's sect master's."
Lin Xiao did not spell it out, but he had all but done so.
The old man's eyes lit up. His body! His martial soul is his entire body! Hahahaha, wonderful, wonderful!
"Lin Xiao, get some rest. I'll drive the carriage for you myself!"
With that, the old man turned and left the carriage. A cry of "Hyah!" came from outside.
Lin Xiao felt helpless. He had no chance to refuse. The old man was so enthusiastic that it left him embarrassed.
It's a shame he didn't give me a Flying Soul Tool. Then we wouldn't need a carriage.
Though it seems I can't use a Flying Soul Tool as I am now anyway.
Inside the carriage, Lin Xiao began cultivating.
He had yet to give the small piece of spirit gold to Electrolux. He planned to do so once he had settled down.
He also wanted to know whether Electrolux would use up that entire little piece.
If he can't use it all, I can get a little for myself too, can't I?
Even if he uses it all, that's fine. That carving knife is still there.
I can get my hands on it a little earlier when the time comes.
Three days later, they reached a secluded natural chasm. This was where the Body Sect was located.
As soon as the gatekeeper saw the old man, he respectfully stepped aside.
Lin Xiao followed behind him, carefully observing the Body Sect.
As expected of an organization ranked alongside Shrek and Mingde Hall as one of the three great powers, the Body Sect was not to be underestimated.
Not to mention that Du Busi was a level 98 Titled Douluo, and there were many Titled Douluo under him as well.
"Xiao Xiaozi, I sense many powerful presences."
"One Dou Emperor and several Dou Wangs."
"That Dou Emperor's aura seems a little familiar."
For a moment, Old Medicine could not recall where he had sensed that aura before.
"Teacher, could that Dou Emperor be the one you encountered back then, the one who turned an eerie green when he released his martial soul?"
Lin Xiao remembered Old Medicine telling him that he had encountered a Dou Emperor who turned an eerie green when releasing his martial soul.
That man had also been the strongest person Old Medicine had encountered before his recovery.
After he met Di Tian, the title of strongest had passed to Di Tian.
Lin Xiao's words instantly jogged Old Medicine's memory.
"Exactly, exactly! That's the one. I still don't know who he is."
Old Medicine's words gave Lin Xiao an idea.
A Dou Emperor. It should be Du Busi, then.
And with Old Medicine mentioning that eerie green martial soul, doesn't that fit Du Busi's martial soul?
Although it was his body, it had a poison attribute, just as Lin Xiao's had a dark attribute.
When Lin Xiao released his martial soul, his body turned dark purple. Didn't Du Busi's turn an eerie green?
What a twist of fate.
They had encountered Du Busi back then, and now they had encountered him again.
Old Medicine really did have a fated connection with body martial souls.
"Teacher, that powerhouse you mentioned should be the Body Sect's sect master, Du Busi."
Lin Xiao explained it to Old Medicine.
"So he's the master of a sect. No wonder he's so powerful."
"Xiao Xiaozi, a sect like this should be among the very best on the Douluo Continent, shouldn't it?"
"Joining a sect like this would benefit you. Don't go acting foolishly later."
Old Medicine gave Lin Xiao a reminder. He was worried that Lin Xiao might refuse to take another teacher because of him.
A person could have many teachers. Although he was Lin Xiao's master, he was not so rigid as to stop Lin Xiao from taking another.
Otherwise, Old Medicine would not have said that Lin Xiao would gain another teacher when he obtained Electrolux.
