Seventh-grade mid-level burst pills, if there are enough of them, could even bomb a seventh-grade advanced spiritual controller to death.
The spiritual controller competition tests overall strength. Any means allowed by the rules can be used, not just spiritual power.
Therefore, even if Lin Xiao does not break through, as long as he prepares sufficient pills, he still has a chance to fight for a top ranking.
“Good!” Lin Xiao found several sheets of paper and wrote down a large number of herbs for An Miao.
Then he directly handed over all the wealth he had collected from the Tantai family, the Jiang family, the beast clan, and others to An Miao.
This shocked An Miao greatly. She patted her chest and said she could gather most of the herbs.
Lin Xiao felt relieved.
Exchanging wealth for the materials he listed was completely worthwhile.
Among the herbs he wrote down, there were also preparations for breaking through to seventh-grade initial spiritual controller, namely materials for seventh-grade advanced pills.
Once he broke through to seventh-grade initial spiritual controller, he would be able to refine seventh-grade advanced pills.
Collecting herbs takes time, so he directly let An Miao handle it.
After taking the papers densely covered with herb names, An Miao glanced at them casually, nodded in satisfaction, and put them away.
“By the way, if you encounter danger, take out the token I once gave you. You represent Spirit Pool Island’s seed contestant. On the surface, no one would dare touch you!” Before leaving, An Miao said to Lin Xiao again.
“Oh?” Lin Xiao was immediately delighted.
The token representing Spirit Pool Island’s seed contestant, he had long heard about from the Demon Void Sect leader. He did not expect it to have such great use.
Since no one could act openly, he could relax.
In secret, he had Long Tutian protecting him. The Wang family’s great elder might also deter opponents because of his connection to the Canglong Gate leader, and might even act on his behalf.
With his petrification power added, even if the Ji family great elder used the Rivers and Mountains State Cauldron and joined forces with the Holy Heaven Gate martial saint, it would be hard to subdue him.
At their level of strength, once a fight broke out, even secret actions would become open.
Once it became open, the opponents would have to consider Spirit Pool Island’s face.
After all, Spirit Pool Island is the holy land for spiritual controllers. Now, with the spiritual controller grand competition approaching, the higher-ups of Spirit Pool Island might not know him personally.
But a Spirit Pool Island seed contestant represents the dignity and face of Spirit Pool Island.
If other elder powerhouses eliminated a Spirit Pool Island seed contestant, Spirit Pool Island’s reputation and authority would be lost. Therefore, Spirit Pool Island would surely take it very seriously.
This place is near Spirit Pool Island. When it comes to elder powerhouses, Spirit Pool Island’s would not be inferior to martial saints from other states.
Casually sending an eighth-grade initial spiritual controller, or summoning a spirit form, could deal heavy blows to martial saints from other states.
With his own strength and Spirit Pool Island’s protection, even if his identity was exposed, Lin Xiao no longer needed to worry.
Of course, it was better not to expose it if possible, to avoid various troubles.
Afterwards, Lin Xiao happily saw An Miao off.
Not long after An Miao left, seeing that Lin Xiao had emerged from seclusion, Wang Qi and others came knocking.
After hearing that Lin Xiao’s spiritual power had not broken through successfully and offering a few words of comfort, Wang Qi could not help saying, “By the way, recently geniuses from Yaochi Holy Land and Tianji Holy Land have gathered and swept the geniuses of the eight states. They often come to challenge you, with quite harsh words. How about going to relax a bit?”
“Relax a bit?” Lin Xiao was slightly stunned. Wang Qi’s way of inciting someone to fight was quite unique.
“Alright then, let’s relax a bit. Call them over.” Lin Xiao said casually.
Stretching his muscles would do no harm.
Yaochi Holy Land and Tianji Holy Land had both acted against his mother back then.
Especially Tianji Holy Land. The Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower belonged to Tianji Holy Land. He very much wanted to see just how strong the geniuses of these holy lands were.
Hearing Lin Xiao’s words, Wang Qi immediately became excited. “Good, I’ll arrange for someone to pass the message right away.”
With that, he turned and hurried off.
Lin Xiao’s face twitched slightly. This guy was definitely going to add fuel to the fire and spread some provocative words, right?
However, he did not bother with it. If it went too far, he could just distance himself from it. After all, he had not said those words.
This time, the message Wang Qi arranged to send to Yaochi Holy Land and Tianji Holy Land was just one sentence: “Roll over here for a fight!”
But the power of this sentence was great. Sent out in the early morning, by evening, large numbers of people had already gathered outside Lingnan City.
Besides the geniuses from Holy State, people from the other states had also come.
When Lin Xiao and Wang Qi and others appeared at the city gate, the area in front and inside the gate was already packed with dense crowds.
Lin Xiao’s gaze swept forward. Among them, two groups wearing uniform markings caught his eye.
One group wore white silk gauze long skirts, white robes, light grey long coats, and the like. Almost all in pale colours. On each person’s clothing, there was a fairy pool pattern. Moreover, they were all women.
Their numbers were few, only a dozen or so. Four middle-aged women and old women. Even the old women were neatly dressed, with clean and radiant faces. At first glance, one could not help feeling that in their youth, they must have been peerless beauties.
Even in old age, they retained the unique temperament of beauties.
The dozen or so young female disciples were extraordinary. Each one was as beautiful as a celestial, with orchid-like temperament, surpassing stars and moon in grace. Countless gazes focused on them.
Beautiful women naturally attract attention. A group of beautiful women together naturally became the centre of collective focus. Those gazes, fierce as wolves and tigers, seemed ready to devour them whole.
Those people were clearly from Yaochi Holy Land.
On the other side, clothing colours varied, but on the front shoulder corner of each person’s robe, there was a tower-shaped pattern marking.
If his guess was correct, those people should be from Tianji Holy Land. The pattern on their clothing should be the Tianji Demon-Suppressing Tower.
“Who is Mu Haoran?”
At this moment, a woman in her early twenties flew out from the group of beauties. Her white skirt fluttered, ribbons danced, skin fair as snow, face exquisite as jade, causing countless people to smack their lips inwardly.
Everyone’s gazes turned towards the Yan State crowd.
Even the people inside Lingnan City all looked over.
Most of the forces here were from Holy State. People from the eight states were actually few, only elites from various powers.
People from Holy State naturally supported their local forces. Moreover, the one fighting this time was a peerless beauty. A woman’s enemy became their common enemy. They wished Lin Xiao would lose immediately.
Lin Xiao immediately flew out from the crowd and said calmly, “I am Mu Haoran.”
“You are the one who told us to roll over here for a fight?” That jade-faced beauty’s expression turned slightly cold.
Lin Xiao inwardly twitched. Had he said such words?
Lin Xiao could not help turning to glance at Wang Qi, only to see Wang Qi giving him an awkward smile.
“This guy.” Lin Xiao cursed inwardly. But since the words had been shouted out, he naturally could not deny them.
Lin Xiao immediately replied, “That’s right!”
