Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 262: Escorting Mission

Chapter 262: Escorting Mission

"What kind of mission is that?" Lin Xiao took the initiative to ask when Prince Lin Yan had finished the registering.

"It’s an escorting mission for an important person." Prince Lin Yan paused for a moment. "Your little brother is an alchemist, right?"

"Ah, yes."

Lin Xiao had heard that Lin Yun took the test to become an alchemist when he was in prison. He was not too clear about the significance for a cultivator to become an alchemist but he knew that they had some kind of advantage.

What it was, he was not too clear.

"What’s his rank?"

"Uh... I think it’s 2 or 3?" Lin Xiao furrowed his eyebrows. He was not too sure about the ranking.

The ranking for alchemist was simple as it was just number from 1 to 10. However, each categorize of the number would earn them different title. He had only heard that Lin Yun was now categorized as Alchemist Disciple.

Prince Lin Yan nodded. "The person we’re going to escort is someone who’s at rank 4. He’s already Alchemist Master."

While Lin Xiao only felt that it was nothing more than a title, Prince Lin San was already so shocked that he nearly pissed his pants. What the hell, they were now escorting an alchemist master?

"Bro....Brother, are you sure about that?" Prince Lin San asked.

"Yes."

Prince Lin San’s face turned dark. He noticed that the others were looking at him but he refused to say anything until they reached the inn for them to stay for the night. After all, the mission would only start tomorrow.

"Why are you so prickly?" Lin Xiao didn’t know what words that could suit Prince Lin San’s current condition, so he ended up saying whatever was in his mind.

"Ppft!"

Princess Lan Yi Hua laughed when she heard what Lin Xiao said and even Xia Ye showed a rare smile.

Prince Lin San rolled his eyes. "I’m saying this for your own good! Even occupations have the minimum cultivation level if they want to reach the ranking. Do you know that to become Alchemist Master, you need to be at least Golden Core Stage 2?"

"What?"

"Golden Core Stage 2?"

"Why did he even need weak escort then?"

The other three were stunned. Princess Lan Yi Hua had heard that the occupation cultivation master would need some certain rank in their cultivation to even be eligible to take the test...

But this...

"Surprised, aren’t you?" Prince Lin San scowled. "He’s already so powerful and yet he’s asking for escort. It can only mean that he must be wounded or something because ordinarily, someone at his rank wouldn’t even need escort at Foundation Establishment."

The four of them were only at Foundation Establishment Stage and Prince Lin Yan himself was only at Golden Core Stage 2. Should a fight break out, would they be able to escape safely?

They turned their eyes to look at Prince Lin Yan who was still leisurely drinking tea. He sneered. "Don’t think that you’ll be able to get out of Sun Kingdom without sufficient method. This is already good enough for you to hone your skills."

Hone our skills?

Do you want us to escape from the pursuit of a cultivator at Golden Core Stage?

Lin Xiao’s lips twitched when he thought of that possibility. He quickly turned to look at Prince Lin San only to find the other party was also at despairing moment. It seemed that whatever was said couldn’t lift up his spirit anymore.

"This..."

"My good brother... you have to remember one thing." Prince Lin San looked at Lin Xiao seriously. "My brother is a sadist..."

Bletak!

Before he could even finish his sentence, a teacup had landed on his head. Prince Lin San could only look at his older brother with expression begging for mercy while Lin Xiao chose to turn blind eyes.

However, he could already guess that his future training would be very bitter.

"Hardship will be good for you." Lin Hu swam around in Lin Xiao’s consciousness without care, taking his part of Qi without any qualms.

Lin Xiao’s lips twitched. "You already know?"

"He’s your brother, so he’ll be strict with you in hope that you can grow stronger and not dying. Cultivation world is much more dangerous than what you think, Bratty Xiao."

"..." I’m not a brat!

Lin Hu snorted when he saw Lin Xiao fuming. Anyway, this development was good in his opinion because this would also allow Lin Xiao to meet with various cultivators at different rank and also different background.

They have different fighting skill and the current Lin Xiao would have to hone his instinct and skill to the fullest.

Lin Xiao sighed then beckoned for Xia Ye to come closer. "Come here, I need to help you with your Qi gathering, right?"

"Is it possible?" Xia Ye’s eyes lit up.

"Yes."

Dragon language can be used anywhere and not limited to the lake. The only reason why Lin Xiao used it at the lake back then was because it was his greater power source.

He silently wrote with his Qi in the air then put it on Xia Ye’s back. Almost instantly, their expression changed.

Lin Xiao could feel that his head was throbbing. There was pain and dizziness but Lin Xiao managed to return back to normal after a while. He felt his back was filled with sweat as he didn’t expect that the effect would be this tremendous.

Xia Ye felt that the Qi in the world was coming towards him much faster than before. It was as if there was a suction on his back that allowed the Qi to move in accordance.
