Chapter 264: New Ability

Yang Cheng’s prize was ten high-grade True Essence Pills.

Li Anle’s prize was a rare-grade treasured spear.

It could be said that the weights of these two prizes were very heavy.

“Ling Xiao, if you can’t produce a similar valued prize, so be it.”

Yang Cheng looked at Ling Xiao with disdain and said: “If you lose, you will be our slave. If we order you to go east, you will go east. If we order you to go west, you will go west. How about that?”

Ling Xiao smiled and said: “Hehe, with just those prizes, it’s not enough to bet my fate unless you come up with ten thousand top-grade True Essence Pills or a divine-grade artifact. Only then would I consider it.”

Ling Xiao was not afraid of betting, but for a bet, the prizes should be equivalent. This value was too cheap to bet himself on.

“If you don’t dare to bet, don’t bet. Why are you spouting so much nonsense and pretending as if you can truly come up with something of similar value?”

Li Anle snorted.

Ling Xiao just smiled without speaking and directly raised his hand. Then, a thousand-year-old golden snow lotus appeared in his hand.

“I wonder if this  is enough?”

“A thousand-years-old golden snow lotus!”

Before Yang Cheng and Li Anle could say anything, Elder White suddenly stood up and exclaimed: “Enough, absolutely enough! This thousand-year-old golden snow lotus is of slightly higher value than their things.”

Yang Cheng and Li Anle grimaced upon hearing Elder White’s words.

They hadn’t expected Ling Xiao to have such a treasure.

Ling Xiao thought inwardly: Guys, I have many treasures. In this long period of time, I have grown many medicinal materials and demonic beasts in the Landscape World. Merely, I didn’t have time to take them out.

Whether it was medicinal materials or demonic beasts, the older they were, the more valuable. Everyone knew this common knowledge.

A thousand-year-old golden snow lotus was like a phoenix feather.

Now, Ling Xiao’s Landscape Martial Soul had been upgraded to level 9, and he had gotten a new special ability——Landscape Ruler.

This was also the last special ability Ling Xiao would get from the Landscape Martial Soul. According to the description on the Landscape Map, although the Landscape Martial Soul would continue to improve, it would just strengthen the existing nine abilities. 

Landscape Ruler gave Ling Xiao the ability to control everything in the world.

Merely, this ability’s level was relatively low currently, so he could only guide a part of the worldly natural energy to coordinate with his true essence.

In addition, he could absorb natural energy and promote the growth of plants and animals in the Landscape World.

This was much better than the previous effect. One day was equivalent to ten years outside for any animal or plant.

Taking the golden snow lotus, a seedling of a golden snow lotus could grow into a thousand-year-old golden snow lotus in just 100 days.

Moreover, this was just temporary. With the improvement of Ling Xiao’s strength, this effect would be even better.

The best thing was that the animals and plants within the Landscape World wouldn’t age after reaching their adult phase.

Regardless of how many more years passed, they would remain the same.

In other words, even if Ling Xiao wanted to nurture a ten thousand year old demonic beast, it was absolutely possible.

Merely, this ability didn’t affect intelligent races, for instance, Human Race, Blue-Eyed Race, and so on. Otherwise, Ling Xiao would have achieved near immortality.

Even like this, being able to grow a thousand-year-old golden snow lotus in just 100 days was Ling Xiao’s absolute capital.

Why had he agreed to join the Medicine Hall and help Old Yang?

In addition to being unwilling to offend Old Yang, this was the key reason.

“Good, since you can take out this thousand-years-old golden snow lotus, we can set the challenge date.”

Although Yang Cheng and Li Anle were unhappy, they still coveted this golden snow lotus. If they won this thing and went to the Medicine Hall to ask an alchemist to refine a pill, that pill would be much better than any high-grade True Essence Pill.

Therefore, they naturally agreed to this challenge.

“Well, I have just entered the Moonlight Sect, so I still have many things to deal with, especially on the side of the Medicine Hall. I can’t delay much longer. We will openly swap pointers the day after tomorrow. How about it?”

Ling Xiao thought for a bit and said.

“What, do you want to challenge two people at once?”

Elder White was dumbfounded.

“Yes.”

Ling Xiao nodded.

Elder White frowned, thinking Ling Xiao was too arrogant. However, Ling Xiao didn’t have a close relationship with him, so he indifferently said: “In that case, the challenge is set for the day after tomorrow. I’ll send the notice out today.”

“Okay!”

Yang Cheng and Li Anle also nodded.

Since Ling Xiao didn’t know what was good and bad, wanting to challenge the two of them in one day, they didn’t mind.

“Okay, the morning of the day after tomorrow, the challenge will take place on the outer challenge platform. If one party doesn’t arrive before noon, the winner will automatically be the other party, and they will get the prizes.”

Elder White warned.

“Yes!”

The three returned to their residences.

Not long after Ling Xiao returned, Elder White had already announced the public challenge of Ling Xiao against Li Anle and Yang Cheng.

On the square, there was a clear notice.

“Hahaha, this Ling Xiao is interesting. Not only does he dare to challenge Half Great Masters, he even challenged two at once. I have seen reckless people, but I have never seen such a crazy one.”

A lot of people surrounded the noticeboard.

There were new outer disciples among the crowd, but there were even more old outer disciples.  

No one believed that Ling Xiao was strong enough for a one-on-two challenge. The new outer disciples were worried for Ling Xiao and felt that he was too impulsive.

Naturally, there were also those who gloated like Xu Ying. 

As for those old outer disciples, they looked forward to seeing Ling Xiao making a joke out of himself.

“Second Imperial Brother, this Ling Xiao is truly overconfident. That day, he was able to defeat Li Anle purely because Li Anle underestimated him. That Yang Cheng is more than ten times stronger than Li Anle. However, he actually dared to challenge them both. Has he gone insane?”

Standing in front of the noticeboard, Zhao Ci helplessly lamented.

This girl’s nature was rather kind-hearted: such a person was truly rare in the imperial family. Seeing Ling Xiao’s actions, she was truly confused.

“Perhaps, he truly has confidence. In any case, this brother feels that this Ling Xiao is somewhat capable.”

Zhao Zhi smiled: “Moreover, no matter whether he succeeds, it will form a reference. Sooner or later, we will also have to challenge the top 30. It will be a waste if we don’t take this chance.”

“Alas!”

Zhao Ci sighed, turned, and left.

According to the rules, all outer disciples could challenge the top 30, but they had only one chance per month. Once their challenge failed, they could challenge again after a year.”

Therefore, even though Zhao Zhi’s hands had been itching for a long time, he hadn’t taken any action because he had lacked full confidence.

Xu Ying was the same.
