Chapter 275: Chapter 212 Hotel

In the hotel where the Emei Sect stayed.

A man with a goatee beard looked at the news reports and sighed, "This ’phone’ and ’internet’ are truly convenient, allowing one to know the world’s affairs without stepping out of the door."

"It might be good to bring some people from the secret realms back to set up the internet so that Emei Mountain can also go online and keep abreast of the world’s major trends at any time..."

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened as he looked at one of the news stories and said, "Oh? Does Bai Yiyi really dare to attend the Twin-World Conference?"

A young disciple beside him asked, "Master, should we take action?"

The goateed Tianfeng Taoist laughed coldly, recalling what had been said by Xingxiao at the previous gathering, and shook his head, "Let’s not bother her for now."

The young disciple looked at the Tianfeng Taoist with some surprise and asked, "Master, didn’t you tell the Sect Leader that we should avenge Senior Brother Luo Haoran before the Twin-World Conference and make Xia Country hand over Bai Yiyi and that Lin Xing?"

A glint of greed flashed in the young disciple’s eyes, "Both of these people are young yet already have such prowess. They must possess exceptional talent. If we could take their essence, it would surely help you, Master, to achieve the ultimate teaching and successfully master the third lineage."

"It should be so," the Tianfeng Taoist recalled the ultimate teaching of Emei but shook his head again, "However, this Bai Yiyi and Lin Xing seem to have hooked up with Xingxiao somehow and have already gained the protection of Xingxiao."

"The Sect Leader has also agreed to Xingxiao, at least during the conference they will not touch either of them."

The young disciple expressed his surprise, "Does the Xingxiao Sect Master currently hold such high prestige in the martial world? Even the Sect Leader listens to him?"

The Tianfeng Taoist seemed to recall the scene from the recent sect gathering and said indifferently, "Xingxiao now thinks he is invincible in the world, looking down on everyone and trying to control the situation of both worlds. Let him be arrogant for now; just wait and see how long he can last."

...

The car drove through the streets of New Ke City.

Bai Yiyi looked through the car window at the street scenery and curiously said, "This White Eagle Country looks quite similar to Xia Country."

Suddenly, seeing a long queue, Bai Yiyi asked curiously, "What are they doing?"

Jing Shiyu glanced over and said, "That is a new pharmacy opened by the Divine Dragon Gang."

"The Divine Dragon Gang has recently been promoting a medicine called Sky Dragon Strengthening Powder. It’s said that after long-term use, it can strengthen the body and lift the spirits with almost no side effects."

"They let Da Guangming Temple help market it in White Eagle Country, and it quickly became a big hit, with long lines in front of all the physical stores."

Bai Yiyi puzzled, "Such a good medicine? Why haven’t they bought it in Xia Country?"

Jing Shiyu said, "The official approval hasn’t come through yet. They suspect it might be related to the Zhou Tian Sect and worry there might be some issues, so they are still undergoing testing and experiments."

Meanwhile, Little Lin Xing, next to Lin Xing, watched the people of White Eagle Country who were taking Sky Dragon Strengthening Powder on the streets. Seeing their excited, intoxicated expressions, his face also showed interested.

Then his gaze swept over many armed civilians on the streets, reflecting with a slight emotion, "This place is more interesting than Xia Country; you should have come here to develop."

At that moment, if others had seen Little Lin Xing, they would have noticed that he was no longer just a mere head but had grown a neck, chest, abdomen, and even arms and hands, looking like a man who had been cut off at the feet.

Lin Xing, sitting next to him, had his eyes closed, sensing the scenery in his mind.

The scene flickered with a hundred and one trails of sword light.

In the central area of the scene floated three unique runes.

The one hundred and one trails of sword light represented the amount of sword light Lin Xing could currently control simultaneously with his 9.0 psyche.

And if one carefully sensed the trails of sword light in that scene, one could discover that they seemed to contain lines of floating script.

"When I say ’go’ and lock on to the target, just shatter all the target’s kneecaps."

"When I say ’swift’ and have locked onto the target, directly kill the target."

"When I say ’sword come’ and have locked onto the target, reside in the target’s personal belongings, trapping them..."

"If the target dodges, then accelerate the chase."

"If the maximum speed can’t hit the target, then join forces with the surrounding sword lights to attack."

"If unable to break through the target’s defense, then merge ten sword lights to attack."

"If still unable to break the target, then revert to the previous step until the combined sword lights reach their limit..."

All the script in the sword lights was based on natural language commands.

When Lin Xing mastered this landscape and condensed sword light, it also gained some intelligence, understanding many of the commands he issued.

He then tried to record some common commands in the sword lights, thereby greatly simplifying operations during combat and also enhancing the response and adaptability of the sword light.

The three extraordinary runes in the center of the scene were the outcome of Lin Xing’s diligent practice of the "Six Secret Immortal Refining Technique" during this period.

"The so-called ’Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique’ was a supreme skill that could temporarily refine various substances into divine weapons during battle.

This supreme skill had six levels, also known as the six secrets, which were namely: firm, soft, yang, yin, heaven, and earth.

By then, Lin Xing had already cultivated the secrets of firm, soft, and yang.

The secrets of firm and soft required repetitive practice, which Lin Xing had cultivated through the process of reversing time repeatedly.

The secrets of yin and yang required converging the energies of yin and yang in high-temperature and low-temperature environments.

"Fortunately, it’s not difficult to create a high or low temperature environment in modern society, which greatly speeds up my cultivation," Lin Xing thought.

Images of himself being burned to death repeatedly over the past days flashed through Lin Xing’s mind.

Relying on his ability to reverse time, Lin Xing had been cultivating the yang secret in an artificially created high-temperature environment, always on the brink of death.

"As long as I finish cultivating the secrets of yin, earth, and heaven, I will have completed the supreme skill and can advance to the third legacy."

However, Lin Xing, recalling the cultivation of the secrets of yin, earth, and heaven, couldn’t help but frown slightly: "The yin secret is manageable, just like the past few days, continue to cultivate in a low temperature environment to the limit, and it should also be completed soon."

"The heaven secret requires absorbing fortune, and the earth secret requires capturing dragon veins."

"Both of these things are quite troublesome."

As Lin Xing pondered, the car had already stopped in front of a hotel.

However, Jing Shiyu looked at the slightly old hotel in front of them and asked the nearby receptionist, "I remember the reception hotel for the participants of the conference isn’t this one, right?"

The receptionist replied, "To prevent conflicts between the Emei Sect and Mr. Lin Xing and Miss Bai Yiyi, the two of you have been specially arranged to stay at this hotel."

"The conditions here are slightly inferior, but it is closer to the conference venue, only two kilometers away, which is very convenient..."

Bai Yiyi, hearing this, couldn’t accept it: "Ah? Why is our hotel not as good as theirs?"

The receptionist explained, "After all, the Emei Sect checked into the hotel earlier. To ensure the smooth conduct of the conference and prevent conflicts between the two parties..."

Lv Ming also joined the conversation.

Jing Shiyu, after listening for a while, said, "Forget it, he is just handling things. Talking to him is useless. This hotel is closer to the conference venue, which is not bad. Lin Xing, Master Bai, and I will stay here."

Then, Jing Shiyu turned her head to Lin Xing, "What do you say, Lin Xing?"

Lin Xing, who was sensing the images in his sea of consciousness, slightly came back to his senses, glanced at the hotel in front of him, and said, "I don’t mind."

So, moments later, Lin Xing, along with Bai Yiyi and Jing Shiyu, checked into the hotel at the front desk.

As they were registering at the front desk, Bai Yiyi, looking around at the surrounding people from White Eagle Country, said somewhat puzzled, "Why do I feel that on our way in, the people here seemed somewhat hostile?"

Jing Shiyu was constantly sensing the surroundings, "Maybe they recognized your identities, your reputation here in White Eagle Country isn’t as good as it is back home."

Just then, they heard a woman’s light laughter: "It’s not that they are hostile towards you, but that they are wary of you."

"Many of them didn’t recognize your identities; after all, you’re not as famous here in White Eagle Country as you are in Xia Country."

"They are just wary of your black hair and black eyes."

Lin Xing turned his head to look. The speaker was a woman dressed in formal attire, with neatly combed hair.

The woman had a very delicate face and proper demeanor, exuding a slight approachable aura that made one feel amiable upon the first meeting.

But it was this approachability and modern demeanor that made Lin Xing and Jing Shiyu, while sensing their surroundings, completely overlook her presence.

At this moment, hearing her explanation, Bai Yiyi curiously looked at her and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman said, "I am Master Tianlian from Shi Lin Temple."

She continued, "Do you know why the people of White Eagle Country are so wary of people with black hair and black eyes?"

"The celestial gates that have opened in the modern world are located around the globe, while those in the Mirror World are almost all located in the Central Plains."

"That is to say, the people from the Mirror World who have come to the modern world are almost all from the Central Plains, all with black hair and black eyes."

"They look similar to the people of Xia Country, but are different from the majority of the population inside White Eagle Country."

"Over time, as more and more people from the Mirror World come to White Eagle Country and commit arson and murder, the local citizens naturally become more cautious towards people with black hair and black eyes."

"Even as time passes, this caution may gradually turn into hostility, and even hatred."

The woman, who called herself Master Tianlian, then looked towards the people from White Eagle Country not far away and said, "Look at the guns at their waists. Unlike in Xia Country where personal gun possession is not allowed, here in White Eagle Country, more and more people carry guns since the opening of the celestial gates."

"Who knows when more people from Xia Country might be mistakenly killed."
