Chapter 317: The Rules inside the Room
"Bet?" Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows.
"Whether they'll die in your hand or because of punishment?"
"Hmm."
Lin Xiao watched as they scrambled around and ordered their servants to each take one and shrugged. He didn't really like betting but from watching them wanting to take all of the treasures, he could already guess that they were wishing that they brought a hundred people with them to pick their treasure.
"Well, will they bet with their lives again?" Lin Xiao asked with a faint laugh.
"If they're stupid enough, they will."
At this time, one of them picked two treasures. He was still contemplating which one he would take when there was sudden rumble from the sky. The youth's face paled as he dropped the two treasures and tried to run.
Before he could do that, lightning strike from the sky like ceiling.
Boom!
The lightning strike landed on him directly, killing him.
Sang Guan and the other youth were silent. They looked at their friend then turned to look at the other way. "Don't touch unless you want to pick the treasure!"
They didn't even bother to pick up the remain of their foolish friend.
Watching it, Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. He thought that he would finally watch how that subst.i.tute technique worked. But it seemed that he was being a little naïve. The one who made the stupid mistake was the one who had already killed his own servants with his stupidity.
Hu Fei sneered. "They now know that they can only pick one. What do you think they'll do?"
"Hmm, would they try to ask us touch two treasures?" Lin Xiao was busy reading the enhancement on the ground. He naturally knew that the punishment's work was not as simple as them touching.
If they wanted it and touched it, then the punishment would be enacted. But if they touched it without even any intention of wanting it, then the punishment would not descent to them.
They could only want one.
'…It's really heart.'
Lin Xiao really felt that Lin Hu's guess was spot on this time as it was a test that would test one's heart. If one didn't want it, they would not even have any reaction even if the treasure was placed in front of them.
But could one's heart really be that strong?
To the point of not wanting the temptation of treasure that was placed in front of them? Lin Xiao knew for sure that he couldn't.
"What are you focusing on?" Hu Fei noticed that Lin Xiao was not paying attention to the two scrooges and asked.
"The text."
"Hmm?" Hu Fei naturally noticed the alien looking text on the ground but he had no capability whatsoever in reading that text. It was already good enough for him if he didn't feel dizzy after looking at it since it contained ancient power and ordinary people were not capable to decipher them.
Lin Xiao was still reading before he looked at the middle. The treasure was located in the middle but at the very center was a pillar with engravings of several movements. Looking at it now, Lin Xiao realized that it must be a set of movement and at the very top was when one sat on the lotus position.
Slowly, Lin Xiao began to move. The position that the engravings showed all required high flexibility that Lin Xiao felt that he nearly pulled his own muscle. It was lucky that he was already a cultivator at Foundation Establishment Stage or it would be impossible for him to do the impossible movements.
"Hu Xiao?" Hu Fei was stunned.
Lin Xiao didn't pay heed to him and continued the movements. In the end, he managed to finish everything and sat down on the ground with the lotus position.
A voice rang in his mind.
Mind Calm like Ocean without Waves, Heart Without Ripples. The first set of Calming Heart Technique.
After completing the technique, Lin Xiao felt that he could sense his own heart and sense the ripples there. He was baffled because this was the first time he ever encountered something like this. However, he knew that this was a chance for him to try calming down.
Don't be agitated.
Don't be greedy.
Only find the one you really need.
Repeating several sentences, Lin Xiao felt that his heart was calmer and that he could think clearly. It was a magical feeling that Lin Xiao himself didn't think he could possibly do.
Opening his eyes, Lin Xiao pa.s.sed a look at Hu Fei. "Try to do the movement in that pillar over there."
"Pillar?"
Hu Fei naturally noticed the pillar but it was only after Lin Xiao said about movement did he notice that there were engravings on the pillars. The engravings was shallow and one would not see it if they didn't pay more attention to the pillar like what they did right now.
'Did he notice it earlier?'
Slowly, Hu Fei began to execute the movement from the very beginning. He noticed that the movements were a bit hard to do but it was not impossible. Even though it felt queer, he decided to follow it until the end.
The friend of Sang Guan looked at the two youths and sneered. "Guan, they're now dancing."
Sang Guan looked at the back as his eyes showed disdain. He thought that those two were already crazy to train martial arts movement in this place where there was not much Qi that they could sense.
The youth was looking at them before he suddenly took out his sword.
"Let me play with him a bit."
"Hmm?" Sang Guan's eyes narrowed when he watched his friend charged over. "Wait a moment!"
"Huh…"
BOOM!
Just as the attack was about to reach Hu Fei, lightning struck down and the youth's movement stopped. There was an excoriating pain from within his soul as he crouched down on the ground.
On the back, one of the servants who had picked a treasure was struck down by lightning.
