Chapter 2369: A Newly Accepted Little Brother, Thirteen (1/2)

Huang Xiaolong smiled, looking at Lin Xiaoying’s smug and proud expression. He casually took out a level-ten origin spiritual pill, and popped it into his mouth, swallowing it down after a few bites.

As the level-ten origin spiritual pill that entered Huang Xiaolong’s belly, the grandmist holy spiritual energy in his body automatically wrapped around the medicinal energy and assimilated with it. Every thread of energy was absorbed clean by Huang Xiaolong.

After watching Huang Xiaolong snacked on a level-ten origin spiritual pill like he was eating candy, the smugness on Lin Xiaoying’s face was replaced by a strange expression. She had been observing Huang Xiaolong in the days she had been travelling with him, and he ate four level-ten origin spiritual pills every day!

One pill every few hours!

She couldn’t figure out why Huang Xiaolong still had not exploded to his death from eating so many level-ten origin spiritual pills!

Those were level-ten origin spiritual pills ah, not level-one or level-two!

Even if those pills were level-one or level-two origin spiritual pills, didn’t one need to sit down and circulate his cultivation technique to absorb the medicinal energies? But Lin Xiaoying had never seen Huang Xiaolong do anything of that sort.

To Huang Xiaolong, level-ten origin spiritual pills were seemingly no different than candies. Whenever his mouth felt bland, he just popped one in.

After getting along with Huang Xiaolong, Lin Xiaoying found out that she could not see through this young man.

There were many secrets on him, and everything about him was mysterious and baffling at the same time.

For example, how did he find so many holy herbs?

Or why did Huang Xiaolong not explode after consuming so many level-ten origin spiritual pills?

Why didn’t he need to practice to absorb the medicinal energies within?

For example, why did Huang Xiaolong have so many level-ten origin spiritual pills?!!

Although Lin Xiaoying couldn’t tell how many level-ten origin spiritual pills Huang Xiaolong had, it was clear that based on Huang Xiaolong’s consumption rate of four pills per day, he definitely had a big stash.

“Who are you?” Lin Xiaoying asked, unable to contain her curiosity.

“You will know when the time comes.” Huang Xiaolong blinked innocently at her.

Lin Xiaoying puffed up her cheeks in anger.

“Then, I’ll call you Thirteen from now on!” Lin Xiaoying’s eyes turned cold as she declared.

“Thirteen [1]?” Huang Xiaolong was baffled by her choice of name.

Lin Xiaoying grinned, “Because you like to pretend.”

Huang Xiaolong felt like crying.

A brief pause later, Lin Xiaoying looked up and muttered, “I wonder if Senior Sister Tan Juan, Senior Sister Ji Xinyi, and the others are alright? I don’t even have a clue where they could be.”

When they were ambushed by the Devil Palace’s Xie Bufan, Dou Rui’s groups, she was separated from Tan Juan and Ji Xinyi while escaping.

Though she had persistently tried to get in touch with Tan Juan, Ji Xinyi, and the others during this time, she had failed to get a reply. Within the Profound River, one’s communication symbol was only effective within a certain range as it was affected by the river’s buoyant power.

Hearing her low mutter, Huang Xiaolong comforted, “Don’t worry! Your Senior Sisters have long advanced to True Saint Realm. With their level of strength, equipped with Clear Snow Palace’s saint artifacts, nothing will happen to them as long as they do not come across high-level True Saints.”

Not to mention that even if you put all the high-level True Saints from the Holy Heavens, Holy Lands Alliance, and Devil Palace together, there are still not a lot of them.

Lin Xiaoying nodded, “I hope so.”

Another two days went by.

In these two days, although Huang Xiaolong was not as ‘lucky’ as before, he still managed to find another two holy herbs. After adding that to the nine holy herbs Huang Xiaolong had gotten earlier, it was eleven holy herbs!

Lin Xiaoying could only look on enviously.

But since they had prior agreement that the holy herbs would belong to whoever found them, as the ‘elder and stronger party’, Lin Xiaoying couldn’t cross her bottom line, and snatch them from Huang Xiaolong.

On this day, Lin Xiaoying suddenly screamed in joy, waving the communication symbol in her hands, “It’s Junior Sister Li Li and a few others. I got in touch with Junior Sister Li Li!”

Li Li was one of the Clear Snow Palace female disciples who came to the Profound River this time. Though her strength was lower than Lin Xiaoying, she was a core disciple of Clear Snow Palace.
