Chapter 262: Chapter 133: The Audacious Lin Xuankong, The Princess Becomes My Guard!_2
Lin Xuankong frowned. He wanted to go into the cave alone because there were things he didn’t want to say in public. What was wrong with that?
But before he could speak, Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er had already furrowed her brows and glared at Qiing. "Nonsense! I want to ask Mr. Mu about the Demon Capturing Array without being disturbed. Is there a problem with that? Elder Hua, when I enter the cave, make this girl kneel at the entrance. She cannot get up until I come out. This time, she must learn her lesson!"
After speaking, she turned and walked towards Lin Xuankong’s cave. Lin Xuankong shook his head slightly and followed.
「Outside the cave」
The maid Qiing, Hua Yanluo, and the others all looked bitter, inwardly complaining about Mu Shiba. However, no one dared to say anything more.
「A moment later」
They were already deep inside the cave.
Lin Xuankong took out an oil lamp from his Ghost Frog Pouch and lit it. "Third Princess, what doubts do you have about the Dragon Capturing Array?"
At this moment, the light in the cave was dim. As the oil lamp flickered, Xiaoo Ying’Er’s originally ethereal and otherworldly appearance took on a different kind of charm. She looked up at Lin Xuankong and began to ask in detail about the various doubts she had encountered while studying the Demon Capturing Array these past few days.
Her tone was calm and direct, and she showed no awkwardness despite being alone with him.
However, Xiaoo Ying’Er, who had never been alone with a man before, maintained a calm exterior. Inwardly, she felt a sense of novelty, and her heart couldn’t help but beat a few beats faster.
More than two hours later, Lin Xuankong had explained all his insights into the Dragon Capturing Array to Xiaoo Ying’Er. Sitting on a white carpet, Xiaoo Ying’Er listened attentively, nodding from time to time.
After Lin Xuankong finished speaking, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes, and she couldn’t help but say, "After listening to your explanation, Ying’Er has gained a great deal. For you to have studied the Demon Capturing Array to such a profound level, you must have researched it for at least a decade!"
A decade? More like a few dozen days!
Lin Xuankong said, "Since your doubts are resolved, Third Princess, Mu Shiba has a few things he would like to ask you."
Xiaoo Ying’Er smiled. "Mr. Mu, you are exceptionally talented; please don’t use the words ’ask for advice.’ You personally taught me the secrets of the Demon Capturing Array and have saved Ying’Er’s life multiple times... From now on, please don’t address me formally as Third Princess. Just call me Ying’Er! If you have any questions, Mr. Mu, please feel free to ask."
Seeing this, Lin Xuankong no longer stood on ceremony. "Ying’Er, I wanted to ask about matters concerning Wood Spirit Objects."
However, after addressing her as Ying’Er, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help but shake his head slightly. Calling this Saintess ’Third Princess’ felt natural enough, but now, calling her ’Ying’Er’ directly felt somewhat overly intimate!
Xiaoo Ying’Er looked at Lin Xuankong with her bright eyes. "It seems Mr. Mu is indeed, as I guessed, at the Perfection Realm of the Fifth Layer!"
Lin Xuankong was somewhat surprised. "These past few days, I have hardly acted personally, either activating the Demon Prison Cage or controlling the Spirit Puppet. How did you discern my realm?"
Xiaoo Ying’Er raised an eyebrow slightly and smiled. "Mr. Mu, you have never told Ying’Er your origins. Naturally, Ying’Er has her own secrets as well."
Lin Xuankong was momentarily speechless. Meanwhile, Xiaoo Ying’Er thought to herself: The Blood Bath Divine Skill has many wondrous uses, including an extremely keen perception of True Qi. Although Mr. Mu rarely acts, how could he possibly hide his realm from me! However, her respect and admiration for Mr. Mu stemmed not from his Cultivation Realm but from his talent... So what if he was at the Perfection Realm of the Fifth Layer? With his mastery of the Demon Capturing Array, he was destined to become the unique Artifact Refining Grandmaster revered by millions in the Great Xia Dynasty!
Thinking of this, Xiaoo Ying’Er said, "Mr. Mu, are you asking about Spiritual Objects because you plan to open your Wood Vein and advance to the Sixth Layer? If so, taking a Wood Treasure Pill would actually be better, offering a greater chance of advancing your realm! If you use Wood Spirit Objects, and your luck is good, thirty or forty might be enough to advance. If your luck is poor, even a hundred might not suffice! Besides, Wood Spirit Objects are extremely rare, far more difficult to find than Heavy Water Spiritual Objects or Sunflower Water Spiritual Objects. In the Kyoto auction houses, even the most common Wood Spirit Objects command prices several times higher than those of Heavy Water Spiritual Objects, and for the most part, they are unavailable even if one has the funds!"
After speaking, Xiaoo Ying’Er touched her waist and took out three green pills exuding a spiritual aura.
"I happen to have three Wood Treasure Pills with me. At the Sixth Layer, after opening the Wood Vein, a Martial Cultivator’s True Qi reserves and power not only multiply, but their Lifespan also increases considerably! Unfortunately, so many Martial Cultivators remain stuck at the Late Stage of the Fifth Layer for their entire lives, unable to advance to Perfection. They end up wasting a hundred years of their Lifespan and die in regret! If you have already broken through the bottleneck of the Late Stage of the Fifth Layer, Mr. Mu, that is indeed worth celebrating. Consider these three Wood Treasure Pills as Ying’Er’s celebratory gift!"
Lin Xuankong looked at the Wood Treasure Pills in Xiaoo Ying’Er’s hand and resolutely shook his head. "I still want to try with Spiritual Objects. My luck has always been decent; perhaps using Spiritual Objects will allow me to advance! You just need to tell me where I can find Wood Spirit Objects after we leave the Ba Mountain Secret Realm."
Hearing this, Xiaoo Ying’Er couldn’t help but frown slightly. After pondering for a long moment, she said, "Actually, I happen to have eighteen Wood Spirit Objects with me; they are called Precious Transforming Grass Spiritual Objects. However, these Precious Transforming Grass Spiritual Objects can only produce two seeds in their entire lifetime. I have already used them once. If they are used one more time, these Precious Transforming Grass Spiritual Objects will become completely useless!"
