Chapter 86: Meeting with Others

"Three moves," Wenren Yu commented when he saw Lin Xiao got out of the water. He arched his eyebrows. "You need to develop skills that can kill your enemies in just one punch."

"This fish has high defense," Lin Xiao replied and put the beast down. Sometimes, he could successfully defeat the beast in just one punch after he had trained greatly. But there were many other times when he had to punch several times.

Wenren Yu sighed. By now, if the three of them had to compete in skill, they would have to admit that Lin Xiao was much better than them. If only they had a teacher that could teach Lin Xiao, Wenren Yu was sure that Lin Xiao would be even better.

The comprehensive ability to understand a skill, implement it, and even develop it further was very unique. But this unique skill was possessed by Lin Xiao who was getting even better even though Wenren Yu was the one who taught him in the first place.

"Let's go and collect some herbs."

"Got it."

The Primordial Light Night Moss was good enough and they had already eaten it a lot, but they would still use many other herbs as supplement. Not to mention, they now could store the most valuable herbs in Lin Xiao's Spatial Ring without the need to worry.

Climbing out of the cave, Lin Xiao began to climb up. He had encountered several valuable herbs on his journey scrambling here and there. In fact, they had almost made the entire mountain bare if not for the fact that they always tried to replant again.

In a few more years, there would be more herbs for those who came here to pluck it.

Lin Xiao also always wore headband by now. He forced himself to make it a habit because he had to hide the apparent mark in his forehead. If other people were to see the mark, they would surely recognize him as the Emperor Inheritance's Inheritor.

*Rustle*

The sound of something moving alerted Lin Xiao. He swiftly erased his presence and hid behind the bushes. Even though the position was a bit awkward and hard, Lin Xiao had already suffered a lot from many stances of Rock Shield.

This little bit of hardship was nothing in his eyes.

From his position, he saw Shopkeeper Wang walked calmly on top of the narrow rock. His appearance nearly made Lin Xiao released his grip.

Shopkeeper Wang was still here?

He thought that this shopkeeper had already gone to the city prior of the incident. After all, Shopkeeper Wang loved to visit the market and then busy over there for countless days before returning. That Rune Plate must have already made Shopkeeper Wang very busy.

Why is he here?

While Lin Xiao was confused and still kept his presence. He could see Shopkeeper Wang glanced in his direction. The shopkeeper always had ordinary appearance and presence. In fact, the villagers only knew that this shopkeeper was quite eccentric.

"I know you're there, Lin Xiao."

Lin Xiao sucked a deep breath. Was his presence erasing technique still lacking? Dejectedly, Lin Xiao got out of the bushes and greeted the other party.

"Shopkeeper Wang."

"You're not with the villagers."

"Given by how they dislike me, I don't think there's any need for me to stay with those people." Lin Xiao shrugged, clearly unbothered with what those people would even think about him.

Shopkeeper Wang nodded. The fact that the villagers disliked Lin Xiao was not a secret. He looked at Lin Xiao and narrowed his eyes. After nearly a year, Lin Xiao had reached Body Training Rank 8? It was really fast.

Body Training had 10 stage before one could reach Foundation Establishment. Usually, the higher the stage, the more time needed to reach that particular stage. To be able to advance from Body Training Rank 5 to Body Training Rank 8 in just a year's time was already a great achievement.

"You've been working hard, Lin Xiao."

"if I don't work hard, I won't be able to leave this place," Lin Xiao replied with a grin.

Shopkeeper Wang arched his eyebrows. "Do you know what had happened to the villagers?"

"Eh, no."

Lin Xiao basically kept his activities limited to this area of the steep mountain because he didn't want to meet with the other villagers. Many of them didn't like him and the only one who treated him normally would be Shopkeeper Wang and one youth that used to play with him when he was young.

"Some Golden Core Cultivators come here a few weeks ago taking them all away," Shopkeeper Wang replied.

"Why?" Lin Xiao blurted out his question without thinking. But even before Shopkeeper Wang answered, he felt that he had known the answer. This natural phenomenon was simply too big, so those powerful figure wouldn't want to leave this place without finding the real Emperor Inheritance's Inheritor.

Even if the real one might have already left since they were so late, they still took the other people here.

Rather than leaving the real one leave, it would be better to just bring all of them in.

Shopkeeper Wang's eyes landed on Lin Xiao's forehead. Headband was common and many people used it because some people said that it could make them look manly. Some others only wore it for fashion, though.

He had already known Lin Xiao for a long time and it was the first time he saw Lin Xiao with headband.

"They're looking for you."

"Shopkeeper Wang." Lin Xiao furrowed his brows. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Really?"

Soft chuckled could be heard. Afterwards, Lin Xiao felt a gush of wind and realized that in Shopkeeper Wang's hand now had a headband. Lin Xiao's face fell as he touched his head. The headband had disappeared.
