Do you want to break through to level 99?

Opening up his Sea of Consciousness was certainly a good thing.

But if he could only open up a tiny portion, he might as well wait. He had no urgent need for it anyway.

Rather than that little improvement for himself, Lin Xiao had set his sights on Electrolux.

Lin Xiao had not forgotten that Electrolux had something good.

If he let him recover fully, who knew whether that thing might appear?

With that, he would have another trump card.

"Good lad. Once I've recovered, I might just have a surprise for you."

Electrolux had not expected Lin Xiao to say that. This little piece of spirit gold was neither a great deal nor an insignificant amount.

He could certainly use it himself, but after all this time, he had yet to do anything for Lin Xiao. He had originally intended to help him open up his Sea of Consciousness.

Now Lin Xiao was simply letting him use it instead, which came as something of a surprise.

Still, hearing that he knew where to find more spirit gold put Electrolux at ease.

"All right, Elder Yi. Focus on recovering first."

Lin Xiao smiled, not particularly surprised.

Inside the ring, Electrolux did not stand on ceremony. He took the spirit gold Old Medicine tossed over and immediately began absorbing it.

Once that was done, Lin Xiao spoke up. "Teacher, could you take a look at this Secret of the Body? Can it directly give my Body Martial Soul a gold-grade awakening?"

As Lin Xiao finished speaking, Old Medicine emerged from the ring, accompanied by the Ice Empress and Xiao Hei.

Old Medicine took the Secret of the Body Lin Xiao handed him and studied it closely.

This secret technique seemed to have something to it, though not much.

Lin Xiao did not disturb Old Medicine, waiting quietly.

A golden-grade awakening was powerful, and Lin Xiao did not want to miss out. What if he encountered danger someday, and this little extra power was all he needed to win?

If he was going to do it, he would do it to the best of his ability.

Even if it meant paying a small price.

Old Medicine pondered for a long time. "Xiao Xiaozi, this secret technique is quite good."

Altering a cultivation method in such a short time was difficult. Given some time, however, Old Medicine might be able to modify it.

"With medicinal pills, I can minimize the price of using this gold-grade awakening. At most, you'll be weakened for a while."

"And I can also ensure you achieve a gold-grade awakening, though that will require medicinal pills."

Old Medicine did not point out any flaws in the Secret of the Body, nor did he modify the cultivation method.

Instead, he made the price of awakening smaller. This was a secret technique that could increase one's strength; achieving this much was already impressive.

Hearing Old Medicine's words, Lin Xiao's mood soared to its peak. This was already excellent-truly excellent.

Lin Xiao remembered that the Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations in Battle Through The Heavens also exacted a considerable price, far worse than this golden-grade awakening.

For Old Medicine to reduce the consequences to an absolute minimum was already remarkable. His specialty, after all, was pill refinement.

"But there's no rush right now. Once that old fellow Electrolux recovers, the two of us will work together to improve this secret technique for you."

Old Medicine continued.

Lin Xiao was already more than satisfied. He had thought using medicinal pills was the limit of Old Medicine's ability, only to discover it was merely what he could accomplish in a short time.

He still did not understand his teacher well enough.

"Teacher, you're incredible!"

For a moment, Lin Xiao could think of no other way to describe his teacher.

Old Medicine smiled faintly. "Heh, Xiao Xiaozi, once you reach my level, you'll be able to do it too."

With that, Old Medicine took the Ice Empress and Xiao Hei back into the ring.

Inside the ring, Electrolux was still recovering while Old Medicine began carefully studying the secret technique.

Looking at the Secret of the Body Old Medicine had left behind, Lin Xiao quietly began leafing through it as well.

Soon, Lin Xiao understood the secret technique within: force himself to awaken under extreme conditions and comprehend its mysteries on the brink between life and death.

It was simple enough to understand-put his life on the line.

Meanwhile, Du Busi had already obtained Lin Xiao's information. He had even investigated eighteen generations of his ancestors.

Du Busi was completely reassured.

"Teacher, our little junior brother..." Long Aotian looked at Du Busi, unable to tell whether he was pleased or displeased.

Du Busi smiled. "There's nothing wrong with him. You could say even eighteen generations of his ancestors are clean."

"I just don't know where that teacher of his came from."

Hearing this, Long Aotian relaxed. He really had been worried there might be something wrong with Lin Xiao. Teacher, you're far too cautious. You even investigated eighteen generations of his ancestors.

So his teacher had actually been worrying about Lin Xiao's other two teachers just now.

Thinking about it, that made sense. Those two teachers sounded awfully impressive, whereas his own teacher... Hehehe... seems a little lacking.

"Go on, get moving. Bring your little junior brother here."

"If you have nothing to do, go see Weina!"

Du Busi had already caught the mockery in Long Aotian's eyes and simply chased him out.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Long Aotian turned around and broke into a grin. He had never expected to see the day his teacher would be so troubled.

Du Busi rolled his eyes at the brat. No respect for his elders whatsoever.

Soon, Long Aotian brought Lin Xiao over, then went off to find Weina himself.

"Lin Xiao, come, come. Sit here."

Du Busi was exceptionally warm.

Somewhat overwhelmed by the attention, Lin Xiao sat in the seat below Du Busi's.

"Teacher, do you want to break through to level 99?"

Before Du Busi could speak, Lin Xiao spoke first.

Those words instantly made Du Busi's hair stand on end, and his eyes fixed unblinkingly on Lin Xiao.

After taking a moment to compose himself, Du Busi asked in disbelief, "Lin Xiao, do you know what you're saying?"

Lin Xiao nodded earnestly. He knew exactly what he was saying.

When Old Medicine had said medicinal pills could help him achieve a golden-grade awakening, Lin Xiao had thought of that place.

That place filled with all manner of opportunities.

To go there, powerful strength was essential, and Du Busi was the best choice.

There was something there that could help Du Busi break through to level 99, too.

Perhaps it could even help Du Busi advance further. Defeating Mu En would not be impossible.

"Did those two teachers of yours say that?"

Du Busi did not believe Lin Xiao could make such a claim on his own, and his thoughts quickly turned to Lin Xiao's two teachers.

Lin Xiao paused, then went along with Du Busi's words. "Yes, Teacher."

Hearing Lin Xiao's answer, Du Busi slowly sank into his seat, his brow furrowing slightly.

He could not understand it. What ability did they possess that could help him break through to level 99?

Could they be level 99 experts? Or were they even stronger?

But if they were stronger, surely he would have heard of them.

He could not make sense of it. Not in the slightest.

He had pondered it for so long without discovering how to break through to level 99, yet they could actually help him.

At that moment, Du Busi was puzzled. If they were so powerful, why had Lin Xiao still come to the Body Sect?

"Lin Xiao, let me ask you something."

"Since your two teachers are so powerful, why did you still come to the Body Sect?"

Lin Xiao froze. He had not expected that question and genuinely did not know what to say for a moment.

"Teacher, I want to awaken my Body Martial Soul."

Hearing that, Du Busi burst into laughter.

His laughter was wildly unrestrained and brimming with confidence.

So his teachers don't know everything, either!

Hahahaha!

Lin Xiao: That damned competitive streak!
