Chapter 30: The Representative Arrives (1/2)
Being dragged by Shopkeeper Wan, Lin Xiao finally arrived at the plain. There was nothing but plants and some trees at a distance away. Shopkeeper Wan himself stayed far away from Lin Xiao in fear that he would get affected.
Lin Xiao himself also prepared himself to quickly cut off the contact with the rune plate as soon as it showed that it was a type of attack runes or trap. If he were to get wounded, Lin Xiao wouldn't be too delighted either.
”TRY NOW!”
Lin Xiao focused his attention to the rune plate in his hand and infused his Qi inside. The flow of the runes was imprinted inside his mind as he tried to follow it along on the rune plates.
It was a strange sensation.
Even though this was the first time Lin Xiao came in contact with runes, he felt as if he already knew the path along with the missing paths from the rocks. However, it was impossible for him to infuse his Qi there because the Qi inside his body was still very small in amount.
Swish!
As soon as he finished connecting all the runes, Lin Xiao felt a gush of wind. He raised his head and saw faint green color around the runes as it shone beautifully. The leaves were dancing while the grasses were moving according to the tune.
'What is this?'
Lin Xiao was dumbfounded. Was he inside a dream or something? However, he soon realized that there was something that changed and felt oddly familiar to him. He raised his hand and tried to circulate the little Qi inside his body while absorbing what was in the nature.
It felt much easier.
It was as if the amount of Qi in the air was much more than what it usually was.
Click!
The rune plate retuned back to normal as Shopkeeper Wan walked closer. He was also a cultivator, so he obviously saw when the rune plate changed for a few seconds. By this time, his eyes were shining so brightly.
”YOU DID IT, LIN XIAO!”
”Ah, yes.” Lin Xiao snapped back to reality and looked at the rune plate in his hand before handing it over to Shopkeeper Wan. ”It's really a good plate, Shopkeeper Wan.”
Shopkeeper Wan snorted. He had sensed the change in the air just now and the increase of Qi was very minimal. At most, he would only get a few gold coins from this rune plate because it didn't have much worth.
And he couldn't sell it within this village too because he had to head over to the city in the future.
”This is one liang of silver.” Shopkeeper Wan decisively handed the money before Lin Xiao could ask for more. In the past, Lin Xiao would shamelessly lobby for more money because he had helped Shopkeeper Wan to determine the worth of some items.
”Aw, you're not going to reward me for making it succeed?”
