Chapter 155 Return! (Fifth Update)

  Lin Xiao went a total of five times, and in the end, that group of sea monsters seemed to have been provoked by Lin Xiao, directly mobilizing their entire body, which scared Lin Xiao enough. Originally thought that the number of sea monsters was only tens of millions, but in the end, Lin Xiao estimated that it would not be less than hundreds of millions.

  That was a vast, dark mass, and after he escaped from the sea surface, those guys still chased him relentlessly. As far as the eye could see, all you could see were these sea monsters. Fortunately, these guys couldn't leave the water, or Lin Xiao would have been dead for sure.

  It was after that time, Lin Xiao never had the chance to go there and 'take' other people's treasures again. Those sea monsters watched their things tightly, not giving Lin Xiao any opportunity at all.

  After five trips, Lin Xiao got a lot of treasures.

  The first time because I didn't know, I only found a few herbs in the marginal area, which were all raw materials for refining Zhongpin Lingdan and Xiaoyuan Dan. Before Lin Xiao could pick some more, they were discovered by that group of sea monsters.

  The second time Lin Xiao had experience, this time he picked a lot more, and it wasn't until after picking dozens of them that he was discovered by the group of sea monsters, and then escaped again.

  The third and fourth times the harvest was basically the same as the second time, only during the fifth time Lin Xiao discovered a nine-headed grass that was probably tens of thousands of years old, picking that nine-headed grass caused the group of sea monsters to go completely crazy and chase Lin Xiao, causing Lin Xiao to completely lose the opportunity to go again.

  After five trips, Lin Xiao roughly calculated that the medicinal herbs he picked would be enough to refine thirty or so Small Yuan Dan. The effect of the Small Yuan Dan was the same as the Blue Star Dan he had taken before, both were auxiliary cultivation pills, except that the Blue Star Dan contained star power, while the Small Yuan Dan contained pure yuan energy.

  A higher-level Great Yuan Dan directly contains rich yuan force, but that is a high-grade spiritual dan. Moreover, it is a kind of high-grade spiritual dan that is very difficult to refine, as for the materials, they are much more precious than the small yuan dan, and Lin Xiao currently has no way to get these herbs.

  "What a pity, I saw that vast expanse of medicinal herbs at the bottom of the sea. Conservatively estimated, it could have been refined into several hundred small yuan dan, unfortunately, there was no opportunity to obtain them." Several months had passed since then, but every time Lin Xiao thought about it, he still felt a sense of regret and sighs.

  "Alright, alright, you should be satisfied now. You've obtained a 30,000-year-old Nine-Headed Grass and yet you're still not content? I reckon those herbs are the ones being protected by that group of sea monsters. Generally, spiritual grasses and medicines have spiritual beasts guarding them. This world's level isn't high enough to give birth to any decent spiritual beasts, but it can give birth to a group of sea monsters. You've stolen away their treasured possessions that they've been guarding for 30,000 years, and yet you still want to take away the rest of their family fortune? That's just too greedy!"

  In front of Lin Xiao, a phantom figure floated in mid-air. Upon closer inspection, it was surprisingly Xiang'er dressed as an angel.

  Lin Xiao glared at her with a hint of annoyance, "I was just saying that, but when can I actually use that nine-headed grass?"

  "Wait." Xīn'ér glared at him, "If 30,000-year-old Jiǔ Tóu Cǎo is paired with a Nine Kings Flower of the same age, it's enough to refine an Eight-Turn Golden Elixir. Even if you have a 30,000-year-old Nine Kings Flower now, do you have the boundary power to let the system help you refine it?"

  Lin Xiao was taken aback and instantly felt limp all over.

  "Alright, let's just put it away for now." He said with a hint of helplessness.

  Lin Xiao hated it the most when he had a treasure mountain that couldn't be used, and it would be better to exchange this nine-headed grass for that large pile of small yuan dan.

  "Alright, I'm leaving. Find me if you need anything!" With a flash of light and shadow, Xiang'er's illusory image shattered and disappeared like bubbles.

  This is a new ability that Xīn'ér obtained after Lín Xiāo acquired 2nd-level authority, which allows her to briefly condense an illusory shadowy body to appear in the outside world. Of course, only Lín Xiāo, as the host of the Multiverse System, can see her; others cannot see her.

  Lin Xiao discovered that after obtaining the 2nd level of authority, apart from those four new functions, there were actually many other differences compared to before, such as Xinger's ability and some of the system's interfaces.

  The last time Lin Xiao opened his personal attribute panel, he almost didn't recognize it. A lot of the information inside had changed, but this change also made the system more humanized.

  Not to mention the many changes, Lin Xiao has been busy for more than two years now, and there is only about half a month left before his return. He plans to take this opportunity to gather with those who have become close to him in this world, as a farewell.

  It's been years since he returned, but Lin Xiao had never lost contact with those old subordinates, and it wasn't difficult to find them and gather together.

  Just like in the GTA 5 world, before leaving, Lin Xiao always liked to find some people who got along well in this world and gather together, no matter what psychological reason, anyway he felt that doing so would make himself feel more at ease.

  It's been years since they last met, and the Earth Devils have all been doing well on their own. They also control a portion of power within the current Earth Federation, making them actual figures with real power. Of course, this was also what Lin Xiao had entrusted to Qin before he stepped down back then. Otherwise, with their abilities, they would have long been squeezed out by those 4th-level variant humans.

  Men, after a few years of not seeing each other, the unfamiliarity will completely disappear with a belly full of liquor. The local rascals are not afraid of Lin Xiao getting angry, and they directly hook his shoulder to drink with him.

  Lin Xiao was also a generous host, they drank as much as they wanted, and in just one night's work, the group of people emptied two underground wine cellars.

  This is also why these mutant humans have a strong physical constitution. If it were an ordinary person, they would have died from alcohol poisoning long ago.

  ……

  Half a month later, accompanied by a beam of light descending from the sky, Lin Xiao directly disappeared in his own room. When the second day's ghost came to find him, he only found a note left on the table.

  System space.

  It's been five years since they last met, and Lin Xiao felt a little unfamiliar with this place.

  It's still a vast and endless space, five years have passed but the girl in front of me is still like a little loli, not growing up at all.

  Lin Xiao chuckled and messed up Xiang'er's hair into a bird's nest, making Xiang'er punch Lin Xiao's belly with her small fists.

  "Don't touch people's hair!" Xiner puffed out her cheeks, stretched out her hand to tidy up her hair, and only then did she manage to slightly straighten out the bird's nest on her head.

  Lin Xiao stood on one side, heh-heh-ing with a smile, looking like a weirdo.

  Glaring at him with a bad temper, Xiang'er directly waved her arm at the space in front of her, and suddenly ten golden light boxes appeared out of thin air.

  "Choose one, pick any of these." Xiang'er said, pointing at those treasure boxes.

  "Return reward, this is the first time! " Lin Xiao rubbed his hands and his eyes wandered back and forth among the ten treasure boxes in front of him. After a while, he pointed to one of the treasure boxes.

  "That's it."

  "You've finally made up your mind!" Xiner looked at him with an expression that said "you'd better not regret it".

  Lin Xiao smiled and stretched out his hand to touch Xiaotou's hair again, but was dodged by Xiang'er with a quick movement, leaving Lin Xiao to awkwardly withdraw his extended hand.

  "Little girl, this set can't fool me, I'll choose it!" Lin Xiao said with a confident face.

  "Alright then." With a wave of his hand, all nine treasure boxes except the one Lin Xiao had chosen disappeared into thin air.

  Xinger rushed towards the only remaining treasure box and hooked her finger at it. The treasure box then automatically flew in front of the two people.

  "Open it and take a look, this is what you chose yourself."

  Lin Xiao didn't take Hei'er's words to heart, and with a nervous feeling in his chest, he suddenly flipped open the lid of the treasure box in front of him.

  ……

  "Big Brother Lin!"

  Lin Xiao Zhen was walking in the direction of the library, hugging a stack of books, when she suddenly heard a clear and crisp shout from behind her, and couldn't help but stop in her tracks and turn around.

  "Huh! It's Qingqing!" Lin Xiao smiled as he looked at Yan Qingqing running over.

  The boys passing by around them, as soon as they saw Yan Qingqing appear, suddenly revealed a pig-like face, and several guys were even tripped to the ground by themselves, exposing their ugly appearance all at once.

  Qing Qing ignored this group of people and ran directly in front of Lin Xiao, intimately wrapping her arms around Lin Xiao's arm.

  "Lin Ge, my senior sister wants me to tell you something."

  "Oh! What's up?" Lin Xiao responded slightly absent-mindedly, feeling the soft sensation transmitted from his arm.

  The green and tender heart of the orchid, how could she not have discovered Lin Xiao's abnormality? However, instead of letting go of the hands that were holding onto Lin Xiao's arm, she actually held on even tighter.

  "Master sister said that a large number of Mo Men have recently entered Yujiang City, so be careful. Two days ago, I saw several Mo Men sneaking around the school gate, seemingly looking for someone, maybe they're looking for you!" Yan Qingqing whispered mysteriously, tiptoeing and leaning her head close to Lin Xiao's ear.

  This scene immediately triggered the anger of a large number of male creatures around, whether it was the few brothers who were thrown to the ground and hadn't gotten up yet, or those comrades who crashed into the utility pole without any perception, all cast murderous glances at Lin Xiao.

  "I say Qingqing, your fan base has grown again." Lin Xiao chuckled and subtly hinted at the boys around them, provoking a roll of her eyes from Yan Qingqing.

  "Lin, you're teasing me again. And be careful, the Mo School has many skilled fighters. Although the older generation of masters have our seven major schools' masters to contend with, their younger generation's masters are also unfathomably powerful. Some of them are even more formidable than my own Master Sister!"

  In the end, Yan Qingqing seemed to be a little afraid and looked around, as if there were Mo Men masters lurking around at any moment.

  Seeing this, Lin Xiao couldn't help but laugh and shake his head. If he were to say that he was still the same as before entering the X-Warrior world, then he should indeed be more careful. But now, Lin Xiao dared to say that among the younger generation, he was absolutely one of the top members standing at the pinnacle of the golden pyramid.
