The Test

As she spoke, she took something out of her Storage Bag.

Everyone looked closely and saw that it was a small Green Jade Lotus.

"This Green Jade Lotus has been passed down through generations of my Azure Lotus Sect, but no one in the sect has ever known its purpose. We have tried many methods but have been unable to use it. It is no different from any other jade ornament."

"It has been preserved only because it contained a few words or phrases passed down from our ancestors, and it is said that our Azure Lotus Sect has a deep connection with it."

"Since it's useless, why did Fellow Daoist Jiang take it out at this time?" someone asked.

When asked, Jiang Sisi seemed a little nervous. She took a deep breath and continued to explain:

"Before setting off, our sect leader secluded herself day and night to comprehend the ancestral legacy. After seven days, she emerged and entrusted this item to me, saying that if we encountered the Execution Stone,' we might be able to try using it in a difficult situation. Seeing that none of us had any solutions, I took it out. Whether you use it or not is entirely up to you."

She finished speaking in one breath, her face flushed, and stood there holding the Green Jade Lotus, saying nothing more.

She came because she was carrying this item and remembered the sect leader's instructions. That's why she heard about the situation at the Execution Stone Mine and followed them there.

But after she finished speaking, no one responded, clearly disbelieving her. She herself lacked confidence and therefore didn't know what to say.

Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised to see this.

I never imagined that there would be someone with such social anxiety among these cultivators.

This was the first socially anxious person he had encountered in the world in all these years.

Everyone stared at the seemingly ordinary Green Jade Lotus in her hand, speechless for a moment.

Whether this stuff works or not, they have no other choice but to give it a try.

But who will try?

The items were provided by the Azure Lotus Sect; we can't just make them try them themselves, can we? That would be too much of a rip-off.

However, if this thing is indeed useless, then the person who goes in to test it will inevitably suffer the backlash of the Execution Stone, which will harm them.

With a formidable enemy at hand, no one wants to suffer a loss of strength. After all, when facing danger, having more strength means having more protection for one's life.

Seeing that no one reacted, two of the three Nascent Soul Cultivator who were leading the group were about to speak when they suddenly heard the young Daoist from the Lingxian Sect of the Pusi Kingdom say:

I'll give it a try.

Lin Xiao walked up to Fellow Jiang Sisi, extended his hand to her, and explained to those present:

"Let me give it a try. You are all the main force in the pursuit of the remnants of Execution Stone, so you must know them better than I do. If the experiment fails and I suffer some losses, it won't affect the main force."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt that what he said made sense.

Furthermore, this young man looks remarkably youthful, unlike others who use Youth-Preserving Technique. Although their faces appear young, subtle details can still reveal their approximate age.

Although Fellow Daoist Jiang looks young, judging from the aura that unconsciously emanates from his eyes, expression, and demeanor, he must actually be at least two or three hundred years old.

Unlike the young man in front of them, no matter how you look at him, everyone thinks he's not that old.

Being young means lack of experience and composure. Although he has reached the Golden Core stage, it may not be a deep foundation built up with elixirs, making him unsuitable for great use.

Therefore, if anything happens later, we probably can't count on him. Right now, the fact that he volunteered to be the one to conduct this experiment is the best outcome for the overall situation.

Only the cultivator from the Pusi Kingdom held back for a long time before managing to remain silent.

He knew perfectly well that the person in front of him was the sect leader of the Lingxian Sect.

Seeing that Lin Xiao did not reveal his identity, he kept quiet.

After all, their ancestor had already told him who their royal family relied on to source goods, allowing them to currently outcompete the three major sects.

This person is Li Yuanze, the only Golden Core cultivator in the royal family after Li Zhanying.

This trip was also arranged by Li Zhanying to give him some experience.

What abilities does the Sect Master of the Lingxian Sect possess?

This being, capable of killing Nascent Soul Cultivator like Wei Hai with the power of Golden Core, is now actually volunteering to be the subject of this experiment...

Li Yuanze was unaware of Lin Xiao's intentions.

Watching Lin Xiao take the Green Jade Lotus and walk towards the Execution Stone mine, he held back for a long time before finally uttering:

"Fellow Daoist Lin, be careful!"

It sounds like a threat.

Lin Xiao turned and glanced at him.

Li Yuanze was a big, burly man with a somewhat simple and honest appearance. He looked nothing like the refined and handsome Li Zhanying and Li Zhouxuan, but rather resembled Tietou.

Knowing he meant well, Lin Xiao smiled slightly at him and said:

"Rest assured, fellow Daoist."

The others also chimed in, saying "Be careful" to Lin Xiao.

Holding the Green Jade Lotus, Lin Xiao arrived at the entrance of the Execution Stone Mine. Although he now possessed Origin Qi and was no longer afraid of Execution Stone, he was still alone.

It's impossible to expect everyone to immediately find a way to convert their Spiritual Power into Origin Qi, right?

His ability to transform so quickly and easily is due to the mental cultivation method he practices.

Leaving aside whether these fellow cultivators' methods can achieve the transformation of Spiritual Power into essence, there simply isn't enough time.

It has been a long time since Yuan Jinsheng passed away.

The higher a person's cultivation level, the greater the effect of the Execution Stone.

Nobody knows how Yuan Jinsheng is doing now.

If this Green Jade Lotus can really be used, that would be the best.

Inside the Execution Stone, the depths stretch endlessly.

The opening in the ground seemed to be covered by an invisible membrane, making it impossible for people outside to sense the effects of the Execution Stone inside.

But Lin Xiao, who had been inside, knew how desperately the Execution Stone inside were for living people and cultivators.

For some reason, the effects of the Execution Stone in this mine were sealed inside.

As long as the Execution Stone are not carried out, they will not affect the outside of the cave.

Without pausing for a moment, Lin Xiao stepped inside.

To test whether the Green Jade Lotus was truly effective, he did not immediately activate his internal Origin Qi shield for protection.

Something amazing happened.

The moment Lin Xiao stepped into the Execution Stone Mine, the Green Jade Lotus that had served no purpose in the Azure Lotus Sect for thousands of years suddenly began to glow brightly with azure light after Lin Xiao brought it into the Execution Stone!

The others outside the cave also witnessed this, and they were all very excited.

However, Lin Xiao continued walking inside.

The suction force of the Execution Stone at the cave entrance is the weakest. For everyone's safety, he has to try the back to see if the Green Jade Lotus can withstand it.

At the same time, as he walked in, he transformed the Origin Qi within his body into Spiritual Power and continuously released it outwards.

This is to test the defensive range of this Green Jade Lotus.

Once he expanded the range of his Spiritual Power release to a point where ten people could move around normally and fifteen people could huddle together, the Spiritual Power beyond that range began to be unprotected by the Green Jade Lotus and was frantically absorbed by the surrounding Execution Stone.

Moreover, the further down he went, the smaller the protective range of the Green Jade Lotus began to shrink.

Until the group is limited to a maximum of ten people.
