At this moment, within a side hall of the Celebration Hall of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, the Lin Family Seven Tigers, Young Lady Lii Xiaolan, Second Lady Zhao Yufei, and Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er were all gathered around Xiao Xiuyi, offering her their congratulations.
Things unfolded just as Lin Xuankong had predicted. Influenced by the 'Wives, Children, Elders, and Youngsters' Talent, Xiao Xiuyi condensed the Sixth Celestial Vein after consuming just one Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object, becoming the third Initial Tier cultivator at the tenth level after Lin Xuankong and Xiaoo Ying'Er.
Three tenth-level Initial Tier cultivators gathered in one place—this was an unprecedented scene among the seventy or eighty Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region. After all, the chance of using a Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object to condense the Sixth Celestial Vein was exceedingly low. Furthermore, the Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object was extremely rare, appearing only once every nine thousand years, and not every appearance would be discovered.
Nevertheless, Lin Xuankong was clearly not satisfied with this. He decisively handed another Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object to Young Lady Lii Xiaolan.
Even though the Lin Family Seven Tigers and others with Lin Xuankong were his closest companions in this world, if one were to be chosen as the closest, it would undoubtedly be Young Lady Lii Xiaolan.
Particularly, the Lin Family Seven Tigers had each been reincarnated by him more than once. If they were to advance to the Initial Tier Earth Immortal Realm in the future, he could naturally find ways to reincarnate each of them into the Immortal Body of an Initial Tier Earth Immortal. Therefore, there was no hurry for the Lin Family Seven Tigers to condense the Sixth Celestial Vein. As long as Lin Xuankong's strength continued to improve and his realm continued to elevate, the future strength of the Lin Family Seven Tigers would also rise accordingly.
Lii Xiaolan, Zhao Yufei, and Xiaoo Ying'Er, however, were somewhat different. Unless absolutely necessary, Lin Xuankong preferred them to keep their original bodies and appearances. Besides, they each possessed incredibly strong innate talents far exceeding ordinary people. If they were to reincarnate, their physical talents would vanish, which would be an enormous loss for Lin Xuankong.
Considering all these factors, Lin Xuankong was naturally very eager for Young Lady Lii Xiaolan, Second Lady Zhao Yufei, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er, and Xiao Xiuyi—these four supremely talented individuals—to advance to become Initial Tier Earth Immortals using their own bodies, and continue elevating their realms in the future.
Young Lady Lii Xiaolan, naturally, unlike Xiao Xiuyi, showed no hesitation. Upon receiving the Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object handed by Lin Xuankong, she placed it directly into her mouth.
"Hmm, it's sweet and sour, the taste is so amazing! Even the best-tasting elixirs I've had from Master Qu Wan'Er can't compare to this Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object—it's so refreshing and delicious!"
After consuming the Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object, Lii Xiaolan couldn't help blinking her bright eyes continuously, exclaiming in praise.
Everyone present, including Lin Xuankong, was momentarily stunned upon hearing the young lady's words.
Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er couldn't help but laugh. "Sister Lii is so interesting and meticulous! When I consumed the Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object, I was so focused on sensing its misty aura and guiding those auras that I didn't pay any attention to its taste at all! Sister Lii is indeed extraordinary!"
Lii Xiaolan shook her little head with a slight sense of pride upon hearing this.
Lin Xuankong, unable to resist, said, "Come on, Ying'Er, she might be your sister, but there's no need to praise her this much! As I see it, our young lady here probably noticed the taste because she's such a foodie!"
Everyone laughed upon hearing this.
Lii Xiaolan couldn't help but glare at Lin Xuankong. "Hmph, it seems like you didn't notice how tasty this Spiritual Object was when you consumed it either! You're blaming me for being a foodie, but you were just swallowing it whole without savoring it!"
Seeing that his young lady was upset, Lin Xuankong couldn't bring himself to argue with her and chuckled, "Alright, alright, I admit I swallowed it whole! Now, quickly concentrate and guide the aura of the Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object into your Dantian. If you let even a trace of its aura escape, the first step of condensing the Sixth Celestial Vein will fail!"
Originally intending to retort to Lin Xuankong a few more times, Lii Xiaolan immediately became serious upon hearing this. Although she enjoyed bantering with her husband Lin Xuankong, she was always serious when it came to important matters.
She was fully aware of how precious the Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object given by her husband Lin Xuankong was—it was something countless talented cultivators fought desperately to obtain, often at the cost of their lives. How could she bear to waste such a valuable gift from her husband!
Thus, Young Lady Lii Xiaolan immediately focused all her Heart Spirit on guiding the aura of the Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object within her body.
Lin Xuankong watched the ethereal Spiritual Light enveloping Young Lady Lii Xiaolan, and a hint of amazement appeared in his eyes. Lii Xiaolan, dressed in green, was already extremely beautiful, no less stunning than Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er. When Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er had been surrounded by the ethereal Spiritual Light in the past, even Earth Immortals were awestruck. Naturally, Lii Xiaolan's otherworldly beauty at this moment also left people in awe.
Just then, as if sensing something, Lin Xuankong's eyes suddenly moved, and he focused his Heart Spirit.
「At this moment, a hundred miles away.」
Flaming Blade Duan River was discussing with Second Prince Chang Li how to deal with 'Mu Shiba' and how to contact the other various Immortal Sects, both large and small, to move against the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect.
With the Eighth Celestial Eye of the Eight Gates Celestial Eye, Lin Xuankong naturally heard their so-called 'open conspiracy' clearly.
Listening to their plot, Lin Xuankong's face grew increasingly cold. He had initially spared Second Prince Chang Li's life, only crippling his cultivation. One reason was that Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er and Flaming Blade Duan River had intervened. Another reason was that Second Prince Chang Li was close to a Late-stage Third Grade Earth Immortal of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect. Lin Xuankong hadn't wanted to completely offend the consistently domineering Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect until he could easily kill Flaming Blade Duan River.
However, after hearing their conspiracy, Lin Xuankong suddenly felt that his decision to cripple Second Prince Chang Li's cultivation was absolutely correct. On one hand, this meant the Second Prince would likely suffer extreme pain every day for the next ten-plus years. On the other hand, if Lin Xuankong hadn't spared Chang Li's life, he likely wouldn't have been able to 'witness' Flaming Blade Duan River's plot with his own eyes.
Planning to rally over seventy Immortal Sects in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region to collectively pressure the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect?
Planning to rally over seventy Western Region sects to jointly deal with the three great elders of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and thereby control me?
This Flaming Blade Duan River indeed has some insidious methods... This 'open conspiracy' will indeed be difficult for me and the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect to counter!
If not handled properly, Flaming Blade Duan River and his cohorts certainly wouldn't kill me, but my Young Lady Lii Xiaolan and the entire Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect would undoubtedly suffer a catastrophe!
