Indeed, because Lin Qian cannot wield his Martial Soul and has not mastered the Stars, Wei Xiangjin also did not utilize his Martial Soul for armament nor the power boost from mastering the Stars.
However, he is at the Eighth Level of the Star Control Realm, dealing with a Soul Martial Artist of the Creation Realm should theoretically be a piece of cake, easily done.
Yet after the confrontation, Lin Qian found it equally effortless to defeat him.
Wei Xiangjin estimated that if he used Elemental Weapon Armament and harnessed the power of mastered Stars, he might not have been defeated so quickly and miserably.
But ultimately, he would still lose.
And this is with Lin Qian not using Elemental Weapon Armament or mastered Stars!
"No wonder he's Uncle Wushuang's disciple, remarkable, it seems we've been short-sighted in the past." On the other side, Wei Changming cupped his hands towards Lin Qian, his tone very respectful.
Following him, the fourth generation of the Wei family and relic collateral, as well as He Wencai from the strongest affiliated force, all respectfully cupped their hands to Lin Qian.
This was a sign of apology, respect, and acknowledgment of Lin Qian's status.
Now their party naturally looks up to Lin Qian as their leader.
At this moment, they finally understand why before entering the relic, Wei Wushuang gave them countless reminders to follow his orders. With such strength and realm, who else would they listen to?
"Woof woof!" Just then, Golden Fur suddenly scampered over from one direction, carrying a branch with green leaves in its mouth.
"Jade Spirit Leaf?" Seeing the small, crystalline green leaves on the branch in Golden Fur's mouth, He Wencai was filled with excitement.
Although he was from an affiliated power of the Wei family, his discerning eye for treasures was unmatched among the Wei family's disciples present.
Thus, along the way, he had gained the most valuable items.
So when he saw the branch in Golden Fur's mouth, others didn't recognize what it was, but He Wencai did.
"A Heavenly Grade Upper Stage spiritual medicine, priceless and not easy to find, hidden among the ordinary branches and leaves of Spirit Wood." He Wencai's voice trembled as he looked at the branch in Golden Fur's mouth, "Nature's spiritual energy sometimes forms tides, condensing into Spiritual Liquid."
"If the branches and leaves of Spirit Wood are nourished by this Spiritual Liquid three times in a row, they become Jade Spirit Leaves. If Mr. Wei Shen consumes it, his injuries won't fully heal, but at least they will improve and stabilize."
The god of the Wei family, naturally Wei Ziliang, his injuries weigh on the hearts of all Wei family members.
Upon hearing He Wencai mention that the Jade Spirit Leaf would benefit Wei Ziliang's injuries, everyone was emotionally stirred.
"Brother Lin, I have an audacious request." Wei Changming trembled all over and quickly cupped his hands towards him.
Lin Qian naturally knew what the other party was thinking. According to rules, spiritual medicine found in the relic can be consumed directly without taking it out.
Only other valuable items need to be taken out for evaluation.
Everyone knows Golden Fur belongs to Lin Qian; if he consumes the Jade Spirit Leaf, they can't object. But that item is highly beneficial to Wei Ziliang.
"This item will be delivered to Mr. Wei, have no worries." With that, Lin Qian took the Jade Spirit Leaf from Golden Fur's mouth and stored it in the Xuanhuan Star for the Medical Department to manage, enhancing the empire's collection of spiritual medicines.
Wei Ziliang's injuries have already healed, so naturally, it won't be needed, but that can't be said outright, so this appeases those present.
Seeing Lin Qian's genuine intent, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, assured he wouldn't deceive them.
However, the disappearance of the Jade Spirit Leaf from Lin Qian's hand out of thin air also confirmed one thing: his Grotto Heaven Soul Device for storage can indeed be used.
"Come to think of it, this spiritual beast is truly remarkable, able to locate such an extraordinary spiritual medicine." Wei Sulan half-crouched, looking at Golden Fur, reaching out to pet it.
Women naturally have little resistance to such cute and docile creatures.
But Golden Fur proudly turned its head away, moving its body to stand behind Lin Qian, completely avoiding Wei Sulan's touch.
Wei Sulan only managed an awkward smile, retracting her hand and stood up.
"What are your plans now, to leave this place directly and enter the next area?" Looking at the eleven people in front of him, Lin Qian asked.
Within the relic, it is divided into several large areas; this one is like the garden of a grand mansion, the next area includes the suburban estate outside the mansion.
This giant mansion is vast, like a city yet not a city.
The areas within the mansion and this garden resemble the suburban estates outside a city.
Somebody speculated about the life of the mansion's past owner, who would leave the mansion, pass through the suburb, and enter this garden to hunt Soul Beasts.
The suburb outside the mansion likely consisted of subjects under the mansion owner, serving the family.
"Uncle Wushuang mentioned that upon entering the relic, it's best to follow your lead, so I'll do so, staying by your side." After some contemplation, Wei Changming spoke, then turned to others, "What do you all think?"
"I'll follow what you say, Brother, and also follow Brother Lin." His cousin Wei Guichang echoed.
"I've been saved, so naturally, I'll follow." At the same time, Wei Yifan also spoke up.
Wei Xihua followed closely: "It's ultimately best to stick together, I have no objections."
After exchanging glances, brothers Wei Xiangyang and Wei Xiangjin also decided to follow Lin Qian.
Since both said so, naturally, Wei Hangyi did the same.
As for Wei Xiaogang, Wei Sulan, and Wei Xinyu, having shared life-and-death experiences with Wei Yifan and Wei Xihua, naturally chose to stick together and stay by Lin Qian's side.
He Wencai, being from an affiliated power, had the weakest say in the matter. With the Wei family descendants having made their decision, he had no room for dissent. Fresh chapters posted on N()velFire.net
Thus, the eleven of them decided to gather around Lin Qian.
"It is your honor to stay by His Majesty's side, and I'm sure you'll soon be grateful for this decision." On the other side, Zhao Long snorted lightly and spoke.
"Zhao Long!" Lin Qian softly called to Zhao Long and then looked at the eleven people before him, "Don't mind him, he is just loyal in his speech."
Even though initially a bit uncomfortable, they soon calmed down, looking at Lin Qian with admiration, wishing they had such a loyal and powerful subordinate themselves.
"There seems to be a medicine garden in this garden, so why don't we head there first?" No sooner had Lin Qian finished speaking than Wei Changming's expression changed, quickly stopping him.
"Brother Lin, you mustn't!"
