I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1626 - 1625: Purpose of the Visit
Zhang Xiaohao and Hei Wuchang exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of a wry smile in each other’s eyes.
Ling Xuzi seemed to notice Zhang Xiaohao and Hei Wuchang’s small gesture, and smiled slightly.
"I’m just teasing you to make you laugh, look how scared you are," said Ling Xuzi.
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohao and Hei Wuchang forced a laugh.
Ling Xuzi was naturally sociable, and he sat directly on the ground, grasped a pair of chopsticks with his hand, picked up a piece of Heavenly Turtle meat, and began eating it heartily.
"Hmm, not bad! It’s worthy of the True Spirit Clan’s delicacy, the taste is indeed extraordinary! I guess I’m fortunate thanks to you two boys, tasting True Spirit meat for the first time in my life," Ling Xuzi praised.
"Since you like it, senior, why not eat a bit more?" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.
"Don’t call me senior. Though your origins are a bit suspicious, and you carry the Human Clan bloodline, the royal bloodline in your body is extremely pure, you are one of our Spirit Clan’s royalty! If it were just for this, I wouldn’t have made a special trip here! The reason I’m here is entirely because you have the strongest two innate abilities of our Spirit Clan, time and space!" Ling Xuzi explained.
Zhang Xiaohao smiled, honestly playing the part of a listener, while Hei Wuchang kept his head down, eating quietly.
"People of my royal clan, talents are divided into three ranks! The first rank is time and space, but those with space talents amount to less than fifty in total! And those with time talents are even rarer, fewer than a handful in total! The second rank includes the five-element talents and other talents, out of the three thousand great paths, and three thousand laws, those with second-rank talents are plentiful, though they wouldn’t exceed five hundred in total! As for the third rank, they only have the royal bloodline but haven’t inherited the royal talents, while they may have some supernatural aspects, they can’t compare to those truly talented! It’s precisely because of these people that our Spirit Clan has been flourishing for countless years, passing down uninterrupted till today!" Ling Xuzi spoke earnestly.
"Senior, shouldn’t I excuse myself for a moment?" Hei Wuchang put down his chopsticks and said.
"No need, you’re one of the True Spirit Clan, to outsiders these might be confidential, but to you True Spirit Clan people, it’s not a secret at all! Just like how we are aware of your situation!" Ling Xuzi said.
"Hehe." Hei Wuchang forced another laugh.
"You’re quite powerful, and definitely exceptional! You’re carrying bloodlines of two major clans, the Human Clan’s is mundane, nothing special! But our Clan’s talent has awakened two in you, one is time, one is space, apart from the Spirit King Ancestor, no one else has a more noble status! Even if old me met you, I wouldn’t dare put on airs!" Ling Xuzi joked. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohao forced yet another awkward laugh.
"Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. This time old me is here under the Spirit King Ancestor’s decree! To appoint you as the Little Spirit King, our Spirit Clan’s next successor!" Ling Xuzi seriously stated.
Poof!
As his words fell, Zhang Xiaohao and Hei Wuchang directly sprayed his face.
"Th-that, please don’t be offended, senior, I’m just too excited!"
"I feel the same way!"
Zhang Xiaohao and Hei Wuchang quickly explained.
"No worries!" Ling Xuzi laughed, not minding at all.
"Senior..."
"Don’t call me senior, call me Uncle of the Clan!" Ling Xuzi waved his hand interrupting.
"Uncle of the Clan!" Zhang Xiaohao let out a wry smile.
"Alright, seeing how eager you look, you must have many questions, feel free to ask whatever you want to know!" Ling Xuzi said.
"Uncle of the Clan, has this really alerted the Spirit King? I want to know, how did the Spirit King know?" Zhang Xiaohao pondered for a moment and asked.
"The Ancestor has lived for a million years, his divine skills are vast, if he wants to know something, just a slight calculation and he will know! Furthermore, you’re one of our royalty, your talents are strong, by Ancestor’s divine skills he would definitely know!" Ling Xuzi explained.
"I see!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
He pondered carefully again, then continued to ask.
"Does the presence of the Human Clan bloodline in me really not affect the royal bloodline? Also, becoming Little Spirit King, what do I have to pay, and what benefits do I get?"
"You’re quite clear about what you’re asking, young one! I’ll properly explain!" Ling Xuzi laughed.
"Although you’re half royal in lineage, your talents are exceptional, possessing the two major talents of time and space, naturally you’re one of our royalty! Unless we’re all senile, and our heads have gone bad, we’d never abandon someone as outstanding as you! Once you become Little Spirit King, you can command all the armies and powerful entities within the Spirit Clan’s territory, even those in the Mahayana Realm’s Ancestor must pay royal respects upon seeing you! They must heed your command! Unless they want to die, or they have Great Divine Power they can use to break the Spirit Realm’s space and escape into the Demon Realm or the True Immortal Realm! But such a chance is zero!"
Pausing for a moment, giving Zhang Xiaohao time to digest, seeing him digest it, Ling Xuzi continued.
"Forget about the True Immortal Realm, even if they have some skills, they can’t directly enter the True Immortal Realm! According to clan records, it’s been over a million years since anyone ascended to the True Immortal Realm from the Spirit Realm, let alone smuggled ourselves! As for the Demon Realm, unless they abandon their existing cultivation to switch to the Demon Path, otherwise the demonic qi alone is enough to drown them! In short, once you become Little Spirit King the benefits will be limitless! All kinds of cultivation resources will be yours for the taking, all sorts of beauties from various clans are yours to hehe! And what you must bear is to protect our Spirit Clan and ensure its peace and safety! That’s all!"
"Is it really that simple?" Zhang Xiaohao asked unbelievingly.
"Yes! It’s that simple! Did you think we needed you to open new territories? With our Spirit Clan’s current territory, it’s already boundless and endless, with over ten thousand affiliated races! Races like the Mu Ye Clan and Tianfeng Clan are among the weakest! With such a vast territory, is there a need for expansion? What our clan lacks now are the most supreme experts to hold the fort! Although the Ancestor is here, the major clans including the True Spirit Clan, dare not mess with us, but who wouldn’t want more supreme experts in the clan holding the fort?" Ling Xuzi explained with a smile.
"Hehe, I guess I was overthinking it." Zhang Xiaohao let out a bitter smile.
"But don’t be too happy for long! Though you don’t need to do much for the clan, nonetheless if any of our royalty awakens their innate Divine Skills, they must go out and train! Before reaching the Unification Realm, they’re not allowed to return! Until then, the clan won’t offer any assistance, even if you die outside, the clan won’t step in to help!" Ling Xuzi again stated.
