There is always a way out!
As Xia Ming was lost in thought, the inspector wearing a black robe and carrying a pile of bamboo slips walked into the seventeenth cave.
Upon seeing the inspector, Xia Ming immediately stood up, not daring to delay for a moment.
The inspector was a disciple of the Dahe Sect, a cultivator!
The inspector coldly glanced at Xia Ming and said, "Xia Ming, is that you? There's been a corpse in the seventeenth cave. Elder Jiang Liang wants you to review it."
Xia Ming bowed and was about to speak, but the inspector had already walked away.
Seeing this, Xia Ming could only smile awkwardly to cover up the awkwardness.
He understood the rules of the Xia He Cliff.
A corpse that enters and exits the Xia He Cliff must undergo at least three rounds of investigation.
However, why would Elder Jiang Liang ask him to review it?
Is this a test?
As Xia Ming was pondering this, the corpse bearer carried the corpse inside.
Upon seeing the man for the first time, Xia Ming's pupils dilated.
You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.
This was a man in his early twenties, with excellent features and dressed in cloud-patterned silk.
He didn't look like an ordinary disciple at all!
Indeed, as Xia Ming's gaze roamed, he saw the wooden plaque on the man's waist.
"Inner Sect Disciple, Yin Shiqi: No external injuries, suspected of dying from internal energy imbalance."
Upon seeing Yin Shiqi, Xia Ming formed a bold idea.
He intended to extract the Ling Gen and inspect the Xue Xue first!
The Ling Gen of an inner sect disciple might be even stronger.
Seek fortune in danger!
He reached out and closed his eyes.
In the familiar black and white magnetic field, Xia Ming actually saw a fiery red, slender Ling Gen!
This was...a Fire Ling Gen!?
For a moment, Xia Ming was also at a loss.
If he absorbed the Fire Ling Gen, would it dilute his Water Ling Gen?
Wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted then?
As he hesitated, Xia Ming had another thought.
Could absorbing the Fire Ling Gen turn me into a dual Ling Gen cultivator with both Water and Fire Ling Gen?
After much deliberation, Xia Ming made up his mind.
Absorb it!
Why not just go for it since I'm already at a loss!
Closing his eyes, Xia Ming silently chanted the word "Ling Gen."
To his surprise, in the black and white world, another diode appeared next to the unlit one.
And on the pin of the second diode, there was a hint of bright red.
Is this the Fire Ling Gen?
Can a person's body possess two independent Ling Gen?
Is this scientifically possible?
For a moment, Xia Ming was also stunned.
As he examined the new diode in the black and white world, Xia Ming's heart was pounding.
Dual Ling Gen coexistence!
I'm a genius!
No, no, no!
I'm an absolute genius!
Calm down!
Take it easy.
Trying to calm his excited heart, Xia Ming looked at the corpse in front of him again.
Yin Shiqi!
You're my lucky star!
Let me see what other treasures you have hidden on you!
Since this was the first task given to him by Elder Jiang Liang, Xia Ming couldn't afford to be slack.
As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot, and the same goes for building up goodwill.
As soon as the black and white magnetic field activated again, Xia Ming was stunned.
There were nine vortices on Yin Shiqi's body!
In other words, he had hidden something in nine of his Xue Xue.
A difficult decision faced Xia Ming.
Should he show Elder Jiang Liang one, several, or all nine of them?
Showing only one might not leave a deep impression on Elder Jiang Liang, but showing all nine might be overkill.
So, how many should he reveal?
For a moment, Xia Ming was also torn.
Meanwhile, in a quiet chamber above the Xia He Cliff, Elder Jiang Liang was seated in a cross-legged position.
"Xu Dahu from the seventeenth cave! How dare you threaten me!"
"Damn it! Do you really think I have no one to rely on, Jiang Liang?"
