Digging More Pits for Xiao Yan

"By the way, Palace Master, what's the second thing? But as you can see, I've lost a lot of my Essence Blood, and I'm very weak. Don't ask me for any big favors."

It can only be said that Tian Huangzi truly deserves to be the one who inherited Ji Li's mantle.

While Xiao Lin was still feeling touched, this kid had already started acting silly!

"You little rascal..."

Xiao Lin shook his head, somewhat speechless.

How could he not see that Tian Huangzi's antics were merely a ploy to distract him from the matter?

It's clear that Tian Huangzi truly meant well.

Then, as if remembering something, Xiao Lin gently touched the Storage Ring on his hand.

The next second, as Xiao Lin put away the jade bottle containing the Essence Blood of the Tian Huangzi, he took out a new jade bottle.

"Here, this is for you. I am, after all, the Palace Master of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace. I wouldn't just take things from a sect disciple for nothing, especially something like Essence Blood!"

Xiao Lin casually tossed the jade bottle he had taken out to Tian Huangzi.

He cares about his reputation too!

Otherwise, if word got out that he, a dignified Six-Star Dou Sheng powerhouse, was taking advantage of his own disciple's Essence Blood for free, he would lose face terribly!

That guy Ji Li will probably laugh at me for the rest of his life!

Tian Huangzi didn't feign refusal and readily accepted it.

He wasn't embarrassed at all about the gift from his own Palace Master.

"Palace Master, what kind of Medicinal Pill is in here?"

After receiving the jade bottle, Tian Huangzi casually asked a question.

"It's just a Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill. It'll replenish your blood, and it'll also serve as payment for the second task I need to do."

Xiao Lin said casually.

"Nine-grade, Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill?"

Xiao Lin didn't care, but Tian Huangzi stared wide-eyed at the jade bottle in her hand in shock.

Turtle, he only contributed four or five drops of his Essence Blood. Can that be worth half a grade Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill?

You should know that Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill can even work on Dou Sheng Expert, and now the Palace Master just casually gave it to him?

Although she knew that her Palace Master was never stingy, Tian Huangzi never expected him to be so "generous" and inhumane!

"Palace Master, isn't this a bit too much..."

Perhaps it was precisely because it was so valuable that Tian Huangzi seemed somewhat hesitant.

If it were Tier 8 Medicinal Pill, he wouldn't accept it for a single penny.

But Ninth-grade Pill elixirs are two different concepts.

"It's alright, you can keep it. I don't need it anyway."

Xiao Lin, however, remained unconcerned.

The only use of the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill for Xiao Lin now is to detonate it when he encounters an enemy he can't defeat...

However, if pushed to that point, they probably wouldn't be able to hold out for even a few seconds.

For Xiao Lin, it would be better to use that money to help Tian Huangzi improve her strength.

Moreover, Xiao Lin just said that this could be considered as payment for the second thing!

"Okay, I understand."

Seeing that his Palace Master had no intention of taking it back, after hesitating for a long time, Tian Huangzi still carefully put away the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill.

As for this Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, it was one of the two that Xiao Lin obtained from Hun Zhan when he killed him.

Xiao Lin used one of them to refine the Nihility Devouring Flame's Sub-Flame, and kept the second one until now.

"Then let's talk about the second thing."

After the Nihility Devouring Flame put away the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, Xiao Lin suddenly revealed a mysterious smile.

His smile sent another shiver down Tian Huangzi's spine.

No way, why does he feel like his Palace Master's smile is just a trap?

However, having already accepted the Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, Tian Huangzi could only pray that the person his Palace Master was trying to trick wasn't him!

"Gulp~, Your Palace Master, please speak."

After swallowing hard, Tian Huangzi appeared somewhat cautious.

Seeing Tian Huangzi's nervous expression, Xiao Lin was speechless.

However, it's no wonder that Tian Huangzi was nervous.

After all, the four or five drops of his own Essence Blood he contributed weren't even worth half a grade Ninth-Grade Treasure Pill, which only proved that the second task was even more challenging, right?

"Little Phoenix, you must have met my two grandsons Xiao Ding and Xiao Li, before, right?"

Xiao Lin didn't bring up the second matter directly, but instead asked a question first.

The identities of Xiao Ding and Xiao Li are still known only to a very small number of people in the entire Myriad Formation Spirit Palace.

As the Chief Disciple of the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, and having been raised by Xiao Lin and others, Tian Huangzi naturally became one of these few.

"Yes, I've seen them all, and I know about them. Could it be that the second thing you mentioned, Palace Master, is related to your two grandsons?"

Tian Huangzi guessed subconsciously.

"You're right, but not quite right either. It is indeed related to my grandson, but not Xiao Ding or Xiao Li, but another grandson of mine who is about to set foot in Central Plains!"

Xiao Lin chuckled and spoke.

"Another grandson of the Palace Master?"

Tian Huangzi murmured.

"That's right! My grandson's name is Xiao Yan! He should be arriving in Central Plains soon, and there's a high chance he'll join the Starfall Pavilion, one of the Four Pavilions..."

"Wait, Palace Master, why would your grandson choose to join another sect? Could it be that Starfall Pavilion is comparable to our Myriad Formation Spirit Palace?"

Upon hearing Xiao Lin mention it, Tian Huangzi looked quite surprised.

Why wouldn't a grandson join the sect founded by his grandfather? What's the catch?

Aren't they related by blood?

Unconsciously, Tian Huangzi began to have wild thoughts.

"My little grandson is a bit special; he doesn't know about my situation, so I need you..."

Then, Xiao Lin began to recount in detail all the things he had asked Tian Huangzi to do.

However, as Xiao Lin spoke, Tian Huangzi's expression changed several times.

Later, he looked at his Palace Master with an even more incredulous expression!

What a tragedy! Your grandson has ended up with a grandfather like you!

He'd seen plenty of those kinds of troublesome people during his years of wandering around Central Plains.

But Grandson-Trapping! He discovered that it really seems to be the only one of its kind!

At this moment, although they hadn't met yet, Tian Huangzi was already silently mourning for Xiao Yan in her heart.

"This, Palace Master, are we really going to do this?"

Tian Huangzi still seemed somewhat incredulous.

"No problem, as long as you're mindful of the limits, just go for it!"

Xiao Lin smiled broadly.

"... I see."

Since even Xiao Lin's own grandfather had said so, and it wasn't him who was being harmed, Tian Huangzi naturally had no reason to object.

"That's settled then. My little grandson Xiao Yan should be arriving in Central Plains soon, and then you..."

Xiao Lin's smile alone was enough to make Tian Huangzi tremble.

After giving his confession, Xiao Lin left.

Having completed all the tasks that required my return, I will now return to my Ancient Emperor's Cave dwelling and Ji Li and the others to gather all the materials needed to refine the Life Creation Pill before informing me.

Not long after Xiao Lin left, Tian Huangzi also stepped out of the Realm of Formations.

After he stepped out of the Realm of Formations, Feng Qing'er, his Maid, appeared beside him.

"Little Phoenix, come with me to the Wind Lightning Pavilion."

As Tian Huangzi spoke, a strange smile played on her lips.

However, upon hearing him say that, Feng Qing'er's eyes widened in surprise.

"Young Master, you... are!"

Feng Qing'er, who had originally intended to ask something, suddenly realized her identity as Maid and immediately only responded with a single word, "Yes."

As Maid, you shouldn't ask too many questions you shouldn't!

Having Maid for so long, she had come to understand this principle.

Subsequently, the two figures left the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace and headed to the Wind Lightning Pavilion, which was also located in the Northern Region of the Central Plains!
