Chapter 747: Chapter 765 Successive Occurrences (Part 2)
After chatting for quite a while, Zhao Ritian and his two companions also took their leave.
Lin Xi returned to the hall and sat down, considering what Zhao Ritian had just said. He pondered for a moment; perhaps participating in that matter wasn’t out of the question.
Of course, he hadn’t agreed yet. After all, even someone like Zhao Ritian, who had an Innate Powerhouse, had come to find him.
From this, he could deduce that the matter was not without risks.
The matter in question concerned what was estimated to be more than just one transparent stone like this.
The shop owner from whom he purchased it said it was bought from a young man, and judging from the young man’s expression, it seemed it was not just one piece.
Upon further investigation, it was indeed more than one piece; there were a total of eight pieces.
He sold these eight pieces to multiple shops rather than just one.
Afterward, Zhao Ritian probed that on the day of the stone gambling festival, seven pieces of transparent stone in the shop were purchased by a mysterious person.
Unable to find another way, he had to investigate the young man’s identity.
When they found the young man, they discovered he had already been killed.
Fortunately, the young man left some clues in the place he resided, clues that hadn’t been discovered by the mysterious person.
Following these clues, Zhao Ritian discovered that these stones originated from an ancient mining area, which was located in a nearby town of Chuzhou City.
When they went there, they found there were already people there, and quite a number of them.
Most critically, those people were very powerful, with even individuals surpassing the Soldier King Realm stationed there.
Therefore, they did not enter the mining area, and his third grandfather told him that those people seemed to be cracking a sophisticated mechanism. Judging by the progress, it would take at least more than three days to have hope.
For this reason, Zhao Ritian thought of Lin Xi!
Additionally, his third grandfather said that Lin Xi’s strength was extremely formidable.
Today’s events exceeded his expectations even more. Unexpectedly, Lin Xi’s strength was capable of threatening his third grandfather.
And today, they were heading back to the capital in the afternoon to report the matter to their family in person, at which time they would bring back more powerful individuals. However, only his third grandfather as an Innate Powerhouse could go; after all, others had to guard the capital, and they also had to avoid attracting attention from other families.
That thing, in fact, doesn’t have much use for Lin Xi!
But for the people around him, its usefulness was enormous!
Because that thing was the Spirit Stone!
Indeed, it was the kind found in his Jade Pendant Space, except his Jade Pendant Space held it in liquid form.
In terms of quality, the Spiritual Qi contained within the Spirit Stone was still vastly different from that in the Jade Pendant Space.
The quality of the Spiritual Artifact in the Jade Pendant Space could be said to be immaculate, completely pure to the extreme.
However, in the Spirit Stone, when he held it in his hand just now, he still felt there were many impurities.
Of course, this was from his perspective!
If in a situation where there was an extreme lack of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, or it was invisible, the Spirit Stone would be nothing short of a heavenly treasure.
Ordinary people or even Innate Powerhouses would hardly care about those impurities.
After all, the air they breathed and the food they consumed daily had more impurities than the Spirit Stone, so they wouldn’t care much.
In terms of the Spirit Stone about the size of an egg, it still contained a significant amount.
Specifically, it could allow him to cultivate for about two hours, which was his daily limit of cultivation in the Jade Pendant Space.
For those below the Soldier King, they simply had no way to absorb the Spirit Stone, and the best effect would be to place it beside them, using the Qi spilling out to change their physique and strengthen their bodies.
Only those who reached the Soldier King level could, through special means, slowly absorb the Spiritual Qi from the Spirit Stone.
But just that egg-sized Spirit Stone was enough for them to absorb for over a month.
For an Innate Powerhouse, it could also be absorbed for two to three days.
As for the effect after absorption, for a Soldier King, it would be equivalent to their usual three months of hard cultivation.
Even for an Innate Powerhouse, it would amount to a month.
This was also why Zhao Ritian valued it so highly this time.
If that ancient mine contained a large amount of Spirit Stones, once acquired by the Zhao family, their overall strength could absolutely surpass other families by far in a short period.
At that time, they could move towards a higher level of development, shedding many worldly constraints.
After drinking a glass of water, he saw Lin Mengmeng already studying with Teacher Mei.
Lin Xi did not disturb them and quietly left on his own.
When he reached the school gate, he remembered that he had no classes this morning.
At that moment, he saw a police car approaching from afar and stopping a meter away from him.
Zhou Yan got out wearing her police uniform, stood in front of Lin Xi, and said, "You better not stir up any trouble these days. If you lose your life, don’t blame me for not warning you!"
Lin Xi was puzzled, "Why?"
He couldn’t think of anyone in the whole of Chuzhou City who could threaten his life!
Well, maybe not. If it were an Innate Powerhouse, perhaps.
But wasn’t Zhao Ritian’s third grandfather heading back to the capital with Zhao Ritian and Zhao Tu?
Could it be that there was another Innate Powerhouse in Chuzhou City.
Oh?
No, that’s not right!
He suddenly remembered that Zhou Yan didn’t know his exact strength, and she probably didn’t even know there were levels above the Soldier King!
In an instant, Lin Xi understood Zhou Yan’s meaning.
He also heard Big~Bust~Sister’s cold snort, "Things have been unstable recently, and a lot of people much stronger than you have died!"
"So you should keep quiet, and just stay safely in school."
Lin Xi chuckled, thinking if Zhou Yan knew that several of those people she mentioned who were much stronger than him were killed by him, perhaps she wouldn’t say that.
He retorted, "Am I someone who causes trouble? Big~Bust~Sister, you can’t wrong a good citizen like me!"
"And I’m also from Jiangnan University, one of the top universities in the country, where each of our qualities far exceeds the average person by seven or eight times!"
Seeing Lin Xi acting this way, Zhou Yan turned around and walked away!
This guy should just be left to die!
Lin Xi immediately stepped forward to block Zhou Yan, "Don’t be mad, I know you’re concerned about me, I understand!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yan gave another cold snort, but her expression looked noticeably better.
However, the next words he spoke made her wish she could cripple Lin Xi on the spot.
Because Lin Xi looked at her expectantly and said, "Did you fall in love with me? Otherwise, why would you come all the way to tell me these things? After all, we do have phones and WeChat."
"Hmm, actually, I love you too!"
Zhou Yan, "..."
Immediately, her face turned black, and she shouted at Lin Xi, "Get lost!!!"
With that, she bypassed Lin Xi, got back into her police vehicle, and quickly disappeared from view.
Lin Xi shook his head, "Did you misunderstand something?"
"What he just mentioned about communication was emotional exchange, not that kind of sordid thought!!"
After all, the two of them hadn’t seen each other for quite some time, not to mention they weren’t the kind of people to have other matters upon meeting!
"Oh right, I forgot one thing!" He couldn’t help but slap his forehead, "I should have told Zhou Yan that if she encountered something unsolvable or dangerous, she should contact him!"
Following this, he sent Zhou Yan a message, informing her about it.
He also figured that as a Huaxia police officer and a team captain at that, not even foreign Soldier King powerhouses would dare to make blatant threats to her life.
As he turned to head to the dorm, a black Mercedes stopped in front of him.
When the window slowly rolled down and Lin Xi saw the person inside, an imperceptible hint of anxiety appeared on his face.
