Twenty years old, dual cultivation of prime and spirit, both forces reversing the emperor, how is this possible?”
Hearing the middle-aged man’s report, both Murong Jin and Shan Yu Chou’s faces showed expressions of disbelief.
After being stunned for a moment, Murong Jin said, “Such a heaven-defying genius with this talent, even the leading powers rarely see one, and a dual cultivator of prime and spirit reaching this level is absolutely unprecedented.”
“Elder Shan Yu, pass on my order, dispatch Elder Wu Ding to capture Lin Xiao alive and bring him back to Spirit Phoenix Valley! Also, issue a live capture wanted order!”
“Yes!” Shan Yu Chou nodded.
Wu Ding was a seventh-grade intermediate-level spirit controller, one of the five great elders of Spirit Phoenix Valley, his status on par with Shan Yu Chou’s, so others going to relay the order would clearly be insufficient in rank.
He also understood the Valley Master’s intent. Although Lin Xiao had killed one genius of their Spirit Phoenix Valley and four seventh-grade initial-level spirit controllers, the loss was enormous.
But a youth with such talent, if killed, would be far too wasteful.
Capturing him alive and bringing him back to Spirit Phoenix Valley to enslave him through control, in the future, Spirit Phoenix Valley would certainly be able to cultivate a powerful powerhouse.
Immediately, Shan Yu Chou quickly withdrew.
“Failed!”
After refining for two days, Lin Xiao finally completely refined the Xuan Pin Ling Dan, but did not succeed in impacting sixth-grade advanced-level spiritual power.
As expected, the higher the level of cultivation, the harder it is to break through.
Especially a one-time direct breakthrough equivalent to a third-level prime force cultivation spirit controller.
No wonder high-grade spirit controllers are so few.
“However, the spiritual power has also increased considerably. If there is a slightly larger opportunity next time, perhaps it can succeed in breaking through.”
Lin Xiao was not too disappointed, instead revealing a hint of joy. Although the breakthrough failed, his spiritual power had increased somewhat.
The next time impacting cultivation would be relatively simpler.
“Now, try the seventh-grade intermediate-level prime force pill!”
Immediately, Lin Xiao swallowed the other pill and began refining it again.
Another two days passed, the prime force pill completely refined, and the prime force in his body also increased considerably.
However, the distance to breakthrough was still somewhat short.
Afterwards, Lin Xiao emerged from seclusion and directly used God Control Technique nearby to probe some information.
The news of Spirit Phoenix Valley’s wanted order for him had already spread here. Spirit Phoenix Valley had actually dispatched a seventh-grade intermediate-level spirit controller and several seventh-grade initial-level spirit controllers to capture him.
In addition, he also learned that the nearest northwest teleportation array from this place was in a place called Ding Jiang City.
However, the journey was still hundreds of thousands of li away.
Finally, Lin Xiao steeled his resolve, somewhat reluctantly taking out over a hundred blue spirit stones to fuel the Void Heaven Phoenix Wings and head directly there at high speed.
After all, a seventh-grade intermediate-level spirit controller was extremely terrifying. Even though he had trump cards, he still had some reservations.
Moreover, Feng Youyu had already disappeared, and he had no way to track her.
Feng Youyu’s destination was Sheng Province, and he also planned to go to Sheng Province to participate in the Continental Spirit Controller Grand Competition held by Spirit Pool Island.
The direction could only be northwest.
Otherwise, with just over a year, he did not know if he could even arrive.
After multiple stops to probe information and infusing large amounts of blue spirit stones multiple times, two days later, Lin Xiao had already flown to his destination.
Ding Jiang City stood on an endless plain, backed by an unending Yangtze River, as if fixed upon the river itself.
The long river stretched vast, the solitary city boundless.
“I wonder if Spirit Phoenix Valley’s wanted order has reached here?” Looking at the massive city pool in the distance, Lin Xiao thought to himself.
According to the information he had inquired, Ding Jiang City not only had the main northwest teleportation array but also a more northwest and more westward array leading to Spirit Phoenix Valley.
Spirit Phoenix Valley also might have transmitted his wanted order here.
Although the seventh-grade intermediate-level spirit controller dispatched by Spirit Phoenix Valley had gone to the area where he was previously, hundreds of thousands of li from here, it would be difficult to arrive in a short time.
But the master of this city was said to be a sixth-level Martial Emperor powerhouse. If he learned of the wanted order and gathered the city’s experts to move against him together, Lin Xiao would also face considerable trouble.
After all, the reward on Spirit Phoenix Valley’s wanted order was one that even tempted him.
“First, go and scout it out!”
Retracting the Void Heaven Phoenix Wings, Lin Xiao flew closer to Ding Jiang City.
After inquiring with several people nearby, he finally confirmed that Ding Jiang City did not have his wanted order.
Presumably, Spirit Phoenix Valley also could not guess that he would arrive here in such a short time.
And what surprised Lin Xiao was that today, here, another major event was being held: the spirit controller test selection.
This so-called selection was the number one power in Yang Province, the Ji family, recruiting spirit controllers themselves to bring people to Spirit Pool Island for the grand competition.
The Ji family used financial power and various resources to support them in order to achieve good results in the Continental Spirit Controller Grand Competition.
But spirit controllers selected by the Ji family must become the Ji family’s exclusive spirit controllers, specially refining pills for the Ji family.
The Ji family would also continue to provide them with various medicinal materials and spiritual power cultivation resources.
It could be said to be a cooperative relationship.
However, becoming the Ji family’s exclusive spirit controller would lose some freedom, and the term for being the Ji family’s exclusive was fifty years.
After fifty years, whether to continue as the Ji family’s exclusive spirit controller would be reconsidered separately by both parties.
Spirit controllers were mostly not bound to others, and many spirit controllers were unwilling to participate in the selection, but there were also many spirit controllers who fought desperately to become the Ji family’s exclusive spirit controllers.
After all, the Ji family was the number one power in Yang Province and also one of the top powers on the entire continent, possessing incomparably vast wealth. With the Ji family’s support, one’s own cultivation strength could also greatly improve.
And the most direct issue for participating was the provincial-level teleportation array.
Currently in the entire Yang Province, only three teleportation arrays had been discovered.
One was controlled by the Ji family, and the other two were controlled by the second gates, Cang Long Gate and Sheng Tian Gate.
Activating a provincial-level teleportation array required extremely vast resources.
Therefore, Sheng Tian Gate and Cang Long Gate were unwilling to activate the teleportation array themselves.
They only cooperated with the Ji family, handing over the corresponding wealth to bring the corresponding number of people and go together with the Ji family’s team to Spirit Pool Island in Sheng Province.
In other words, the entire Yang Province would only activate one provincial-level teleportation array.
Those wanting to go to Spirit Pool Island to participate in the Continental Spirit Controller Grand Competition had to go through the Ji family’s teleportation array.
Otherwise, they could only go through one small teleportation array after another, and fly searching for teleportation arrays, to reach Spirit Pool Island.
In that case, from Yang Province to Spirit Pool Island, who knows how many years it would take.
Unless setting off far in advance.
Moreover, even through small teleportation arrays, the cumulative cost would be incalculable, and the journey would have who knows how many dangers.
Everything was unknown.
Most of those truly preparing to participate in the Continental Spirit Controller Grand Competition would be willing to choose the provincial-level teleportation array.
And to enter the Ji family’s teleportation array, there were only two methods.
