At this moment, a sense of grandeur, as if the world were in his grasp, welled up in Xiao Tianci's heart.
The terrifying divine sense naturally emanated from Xiao Tianci's body, spreading out like water poured from the ground and dissipating in all directions.
Ten zhang... one hundred zhang... one thousand zhang...
In the very end, the entire Stone Desert City was within Xiao Tianci's divine sense range!
With just a slight thought, Xiao Tianci could see every move in the entire Stone Desert City.
He saw Xiao Ding and Xiao Li gathered in the main hall, seemingly discussing something.
He saw the mercenaries competing in training.
They also saw Qing Lin, who, despite the scorching sun, remained patiently waiting at their door.
After scanning the area, Xiao Tianci discovered that no one in Stone Desert City had detected Xiao Tianci divine sense. Therefore, he could go anywhere in Stone Desert City as long as there were no restrictions.
However, Xiao Tianci is not the kind of person who would casually pry into other people's privacy.
Therefore, after briefly scanning Stone Desert City with his divine sense, he quickly withdrew it.
Even so, the terrifying power of Dou Emperor cultivator was enough to surprise Xiao Tianci!
" Qing Lin, wait for me inside the Desert Iron Mercenary Group. I'll be right back!"
After leaving those words for Qing Lin, Xiao Tianci went to the doorway, took off, and headed towards the desert.
He wanted to systematically test just how powerful he had become after reaching the Dou Emperor!
So, in the following days, Xiao Tianci spent his time mingling around Stone Desert City.
As for the higher-grade magical beasts, Xiao Tianci simply killed them casually while testing his strength.
However, it seems that the magical beasts in the desert also have their own special methods of teaching. Therefore, for a period of time after Xiao Tianci went on a killing spree, no more high-ranking magical beasts came to this side.
This has resulted in an unusually safe environment in Stone Desert City during this period, with very few encounters with magical beasts that actively attack people.
"Young Master Tianci, wake up, get up..."
It was another morning, Qing Lin stood with her hands on her slender waist, her pretty face full of helplessness.
She looked at Xiao Tianci, who was fast asleep wrapped in his blanket, and couldn't help but pout her lips, calling out softly.
Xiao Tianci didn't know how many times Qing Lin called his name before he slowly opened his eyes, still somewhat groggy. He then squinted and glanced sleepily at Qing Lin, who was pouting and staring at him.
Xiao Tianci sighed.
Although he really wanted to continue sleeping, he was also a little embarrassed.
Xiao Tianci had no choice but to give up his idea of staying in bed any longer.
Then, with the help of Qing Lin's soft, delicate hands, he put on his clothes.
"Young Master Tianci, you were the one who asked Qing Lin to wake you at this time yesterday, you can't be angry."
Seeing Xiao Tianci gradually regaining consciousness, Qing Lin said, "Today is the Desert Iron Mercenary Group's test, which is held every three months. Not only do you want to participate, but even Leader Xiao Ding reminded me to make sure you woke up."
After hearing Qing Lin's words, Xiao Tianci couldn't help but nod.
It seems that it was indeed he who made Qing Lin wake him up at this time.
Qing Lin's delicate little hands served Xiao Tianci to a great degree.
He stopped in front of Qing Lin, then stretched and said with a teasing laugh, "Now I know why the young masters of wealthy families all look so plump and healthy. I finally understand. With such pampering, even a pig could be fattened up."
"If I leave Stone Desert City in the future, won't I lose such a considerate person? Won't I have to go back to that boring life of just me and my ox?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Lin felt as sweet as if she had eaten candy.
Xiao Tianci's words were undoubtedly the best praise for Qing Lin.
Moreover, Qing Lin had become quite familiar with Xiao Tianci Xiao Tianci during this time, and she had received a lot of care from Xiao Tianci.
Because Xiao Tianci was extremely gentle with Qing Lin, Qing Lin was also willing to serve Xiao Tianci in the same way.
"If Young Master Tianci is willing, Qing Lin can stay by his side indefinitely."
Qing Lin looked at Xiao Tianci very seriously and spoke.
And there seemed to be a hint of anticipation in her words.
However, Xiao Tianci shook his head and sighed.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I'll be leaving Stone Desert City in a few days. My next destination should be the deepest part of the Tagor Desert, which is all Snake-People Tribe's territory. It won't be convenient to take you there, and I'm also worried that I won't be able to take good care of you. But don't worry, I will definitely tell Brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Li before I leave and ask them to take good care of you."
After saying this, Xiao Tianci reached out and patted Qing Lin's head.
Upon hearing this, Qing Lin immediately lowered her head, and a hint of disappointment flashed across her lowered emerald green eyes.
However, Qing Lin quickly suppressed this thought of disappointment.
She raised her head again and forced a smile at Xiao Tianci, saying, "Young Master Tianci, let's go. The test might have already started."
"Okay, let's go." Xiao Tianci nodded naturally.
The Cold Sky Sword, which was standing to the side, also flew up and obediently hung next to Xiao Tianci.
Xiao Tianci opened the door and walked outside.
Qing Lin obediently followed behind Xiao Tianci, and the two headed towards the test.
After spending a few days with the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, Xiao Tianci had become familiar with the Desert Iron Mercenary Group's environment.
Therefore, even without Qing Lin's guidance, Xiao Tianci can now find the location of the test.
Furthermore, if all else fails, Xiao Tianci still has his divine consciousness within him.
This so-called test is a routine project of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, held every three months, to assess the strength of the mercenaries.
At the same time, this is also to encourage the members to train hard, because generally, as long as they can perform well in the test, they can become a captain in the Desert Iron Mercenary Group and lead a small team.
Therefore, almost everyone strives towards this goal.
With such encouragement, the overall environment of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group naturally became more positive and upward-looking. As a result, the members' strength improved much faster than with ordinary cultivation due to this healthy competition.
This is one of the reasons why the Desert Iron Mercenary Group has been able to maintain its strength among the top in Stone Desert City!
