Chapter 24: Doubts
The side peak hall of the Tianyun Sect is the hall that Lin Chen and the others entered when they first came to the Tianyun Sect.
Elder Xia, dressed in the costume of an elder of the Tianyun Sect, was sitting inside the main hall, he was the seventh elder of the Tianyun Sect, in the middle of the Transformation Spirit Realm, and he was also an elder who was in charge of the affairs of the outer sect of the sect.
Elder Xia was listening to the reports of several outer disciples in front of him at this time, if Lin Chen was here now, he would find that Senior Brother Xiao, who was in charge of the group of the four of them, was in the crowd.
"The assessment disciples recruited this time seem to be at a good level, but I don't know how many can stick to it in the end" After listening to the reports of several disciples one after another, Elder Xia stroked his beard and spoke.
"Okay, you guys go down first" Elder Xia waved his hand and motioned for a few outer disciples to go down.
"Seventh Elder, the disciple still has something to report" After seeing everyone turn around and leave, Xiao Qiang, who stayed here, bowed respectfully to Elder Xia and said.
"What?"
"A few days ago, when the disciple went to observe the group of assessment disciples in charge of the spiritual herb field, he found that the energy of the spiritual array there seemed to be a little insufficient."
"Huh?" Elder Xia glanced at Xiao Qiang with some strange eyes, Xiao Qiang was immediately frightened by this look, and immediately said with some embarrassment: "The disciple found that they seemed to be using the water of the spirit pool to wash... Bathing"
After Elder Xia saw Xiao Qiang's appearance at this time, he laughed loudly, "This is not where the old man is confused, it was originally an opportunity for them, and the old man is strange..."
"That spirit array is the five top-grade spirit stones that were put in some time ago, it's only been less than half a year, how can it be said that it's not enough, the consumption of the formation is not so fast, even if the four martial artists in the pure body stage use the pure body of the spirit pool, it shouldn't be consumed so quickly", the more Elder Xia thought about it, the more puzzled he became.
"That's it, you go down first, and then the old man will take a look," Elder Xia continued to wave his hand after speaking, signaling Xiao Qiang to retreat.
After Xiao Qiang heard what Elder Xia said, he bowed respectfully again and withdrew from the main hall, in fact, about the matter of the spirit stone, he was very afraid that Elder Xia would blame him.
In the room where Lin Chen was, looking at Xiao Huang, who had finally woken up after a few days of sleep, Lin Chen's heart was full of happiness, after all, Xiao Huang was his first friend after coming to this mysterious world.
"Squeak", after Xiao Huang woke up, Lin Chen was surprised to find that he could now understand what the little guy said.
If Lin Chen could only roughly understand Xiao Huang's meaning before, now every time Xiao Huang says a word, Lin Chen can read it in his mind to understand its true meaning.
"Xiao Huang, what's going on," Lin Chen hurriedly asked the little guy.
"Squeak", Xiao Huang told Lin Chen that when he was alone in the house before, he sensed that there was a spirit array nearby, so he ran in and stole two of those purple top-grade spirit stones.
"Ah", after Lin Chen heard Xiao Huang say this, he was obviously taken aback, he felt that the spirit array that Xiao Huang said was very likely to be in the medicine field, and the formation that the fat man said could prevent the storage ring from opening.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen hurriedly confirmed with Xiao Huang, and after listening to what Lin Chen said, the little guy nodded and said that it was found in that neighborhood.
Seeing Lin Chen's obviously flustered eyes, Xiao Huang comforted him and said that it didn't leave any traces, and it was impossible for anyone to find it.
After hearing Xiao Huang say this, Lin Chen's hanging heart was relaxed, after all, two top-grade spirit stones were at least equivalent to 20,000 ordinary (low-level) spirit stones, and he was still an assessment disciple of the Tianyun Sect.
If this matter is discovered, it is estimated that I will not have any good fruit to eat.
But Lin Chen still believed what Xiao Huang said, since Xiao Huang said that no one could find out, Lin Chen didn't think about it anymore, but silently decided in his heart that he would not take out that superb spirit stone in front of anyone in Tianyun Sect in the future.
Lin Chen asked the little guy a few questions in a row, but unfortunately Xiao Huang didn't even know a lot of things, such as where it came from, what this Nine Heavenly City was, why it came to Lingyang Star, and so on.
The only thing Xiao Huang knows is that it seems to have an ability to explore treasures and spiritual objects, and it will not be affected by any formation or controlled by anything else.
Although the little guy didn't answer Lin Chen's biggest question, Lin Chen was still very excited when he heard Xiao Huang say that it had such a special ability.
However, in Lin Chen's heart, even if Xiao Huang didn't have any ability to be just an ordinary spirit beast, Lin Chen would not dislike it, and would treat it as his best friend, not to mention that Xiao Huang had helped it so many times.
After the two said a few words to each other, Lin Chen took out the drop pendant he had been wearing on his body and handed it to the little guy, "Xiao Huang, do you know what this is?"
This is also a question that Lin Chen has always wanted to know, this necklace that has been with him since he was a child seems to be very mysterious.
Lin Chen remembered that the last time he was in the back mountain of Zhumu Village, Xiao Huang seemed to know something about this pendant.
"Squeak squeak" Xiao Huang looked at the pendant handed over by Lin Chen, and there was a rare contemplative color in his small eyes, it thought about it and told Lin Chen that it seemed to have seen this thing in its memory, and this thing had an inexplicable intimacy with it.
Xiao Huang told Lin Chen that it couldn't think of anything more for the time being, and the only thing that was certain was that this necklace was immune to any mind control like it.
After Lin Chen heard Xiao Huang say this, he secretly said in his heart Sure enough, he had guessed this function of this necklace before, but thinking of this, Lin Chen felt even more strange, was this thing really left to him by his parents.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lin Chen still didn't have any clue, so he decided not to think about it anymore, there will always be a chance to understand what he should know in the future, and the most critical thing in the future is to find Su Ying and them, and then find a way to see if he can get out of here and return to the Lingyang Star in the outside world.
"Alas, but for now, these things are too far away for me, let's improve my strength first" Lin Chen sighed and said to himself.
After watering the medicine field in the past few days, Lin Chen and the four of them would go to the pool to take a bath, because they found that after soaking in that pool a few times, the strength of the four seemed to have increased.
Take the current Lin Chen as an example, he vaguely felt as if he was about to break through the fourth level and become a fifth-level martial artist, coupled with the broken star that Lin Chen had been cultivating, he was full of expectations for his future strength.
"Chengzi, Chengzi" At this moment, the voices of the fat man and the others sounded from outside the door, and Lin Chen knew that it was the three of them who came to ask him to go to the spiritual herb field to water it.
Lin Chen quickly got up and packed up his things, took Xiao Huang with him, and went out, yes, he planned to stop hiding Xiao Huang's existence, and was going to introduce the three of them.
