Chapter 1259: Chapter 1262: Grand Reception (Part 1)
"All of them only have Early Innate Stage power?" Lin Xi was puzzled about this.
Because according to the plan of the mysterious man, he was still quite apprehensive about the Leqing Sect.
If it was just the power in front of him, he didn’t need to be too cautious.
Even if he couldn’t win, it would be easy to leave.
"Is everyone here?" Lin Xi looked at Yue Chan.
Yue Chan confidently replied, "Everyone’s here."
Lin Xi slightly extended his perception and found no one in seclusion within the forbidden area.
Of course, there might be some means to block his perception.
The expressions of the five elders were somewhat surprised as they looked at Lin Xi, following Yue Chan’s and Elder Mei’s explanations.
But they didn’t ask anything and sat down on the ground as per Lin Xi’s instructions.
Compared to Elder Mei and the others, the Gu poison in these five was harder to deal with.
After all, the orders given by Yue Ying to the Gu insects differed from those in Elder Mei and the others.
Therefore, the difficulty and time spent on each person were almost three times that of Elder Mei and the others, around thirty minutes each.
Lin Xi’s face was no longer as relaxed as before.
About three hours later, they successfully expelled a Gu insect from each of the five elders.
This Gu insect was different from those in Elder Mei.
Its color was dark red, and it looked ferociously terrifying.
Once expelled, it fled at an extremely fast speed.
Clearly, they realized they were in a life-threatening situation.
However, they didn’t get far before being cut in half by Elder Mei and the others with a single sword.
Even cut into two pieces, they were not immediately dead.
About a minute later, they finally died.
It was evident that their vitality was significantly stronger than the Gu insects in Elder Mei.
The pale faces of the five elders gradually regained a bit of color.
They bowed to Lin Xi and returned to their seclusion stone houses.
This, Yue Chan and the four elders, along with Lin Xi, did not comment on.
For them now, the most crucial thing is to recover their severely damaged vitality.
Once they return to their peak, the entire Leqing Sect will be able to handle any crisis.
After all, there are eight Innate Stage members.
This could crush most forces outside.
Of course, Lin Xi didn’t believe the Leqing Sect only had the power in front of him.
He thought the Leqing Sect definitely had stronger than Early Innate Stage powerhouses.
Perhaps these powerhouses were either in deep seclusion or not at the sect.
He didn’t bother to ask about his suspicions.
There was no need.
After all, it was the sect’s secret.
It was about noon when Yue Chan and the four elders had already prepared a grand banquet for Lin Xi.
Especially the wine they made themselves, though not strong, tasted excellent and subtly imparted nourishment to the body.
It should be noted he was already an Innate Stage.
Not just any Innate Stage, his bodily functions surpassed others even at the Mid Innate Stage.
In such a state, he could still feel the benefits.
Clearly, this wine was a rare treasure of the Leqing Sect.
After the meal, Lin Xi intended to leave the Leqing Sect.
But his body was too tired.
The morning’s events exhausted a lot of his True Qi, and more significantly, his energy.
Although expelling the Gu insects wasn’t too difficult for him, it was energy and True Qi consuming, as it required intense concentration.
He slept the whole afternoon in his room, ate a little during dinner, and continued to sleep.
Princess Consort Le, who also wanted to leave, noticed Lin Xi’s condition and said nothing.
As for Yue Chan and the others, they said even less.
Having Lin Xi and Princess Consort Le stay a few more days benefited them greatly.
Moreover, they were still somewhat concerned about the threats the mysterious man uttered before his death.
In their view, that man was surely a top-notch powerhouse from another Secret Realm.
Therefore, he must belong to a powerful family or major force.
For this reason, Yue Chan sent more people to the Secret Realm entrance.
They also planned to send the sect’s Array Master to set up a few traps.
If any external enemies forcibly invade, the arrays could hold them off for a while.
By then, their sect would have enough time to respond to the invasion.
Around ten in the evening, Lin Xi awoke.
From noon until now, after waking up, he had slept for a total of eight hours.
At this moment, he felt refreshed.
All fatigue had vanished.
As he was bored and hard to fall asleep again, he walked out of his room.
The night in the Secret Realm was rather bright.
This was because the moon was bright.
The starry sky was filled with countless stars.
This kind of night view was rarely seen outside.
As for the Leqing Sect, it was silent.
Since yesterday, he noticed that almost everyone in Leqing went to sleep before nine, except the night watchmen.
The watchmen, upon meeting Lin Xi, slightly bowed, much like they would to Yue Chan and the four elders.
Though curious about him being outside at night, they asked nothing.
Safety wasn’t a concern either.
A person who saved their sect, with unimaginable strength for them.
What danger could Lin Xi pose to them?
They never thought about it.
"Where is this?" Lin Xi walked and walked until he was outside the buildings.
Here, a white mist spread out.
Was there a faint heat from the mist?
"This seems to be coming from a hot spring!" He felt it and pondered.
Following the direction of the mist, driven by curiosity, he walked over.
He also felt a bit sticky at this time.
After all, he’d been in the Secret Realm for a few days, hadn’t bathed, and had fought several times.
Especially with the mysterious man, where he gave it his all.
Though there was a bathtub and hot water in the room.
But that was clearly meant for girls.
Him, as a man, it was hard to accept.
If the bathtub had a girl in it, he could accept it.
So in the end, he didn’t bathe.
After about five minutes and roughly five hundred meters, he saw a dense white mist ahead.
Naturally, he was met with a burst of heat.
"It really is a hot spring!" He could tell at just a glance.
Moreover, the water was very clear.
The water was also gushing from underground, bubbling up in hot springs, quite prominent.
More importantly, no one was in the water.
Without hesitation, he stripped off all his clothes in a few swift moves.
And stored them in his Jade Pendant Space.
Then, he dived into the pool.
About a kilometer away, Yue Chan was walking over, holding a small wooden bucket.
