The Medallion novel Chapter 102

"Why?" Rocky asked.

"The leader of the Ximen Clan wants to invite the future grandson-in-law to meet the Ximen Clan. But he definitely has ulterior motives, so remember to be careful. Besides, it looks like Shirley still hates you, so she might try to embarrass you," Lena replied.

"Well. If I don't go there, then everything will be solved," Rocky shrugged his shoulders.

"But you have to. You are the key to balancing the royal family and the Ximen Clan. Your slightest action could greatly affect the equilibrium. You have to behave appropriately," Lena warned him sternly.

"Alright. I got it. Would you like to enjoy the moon or chat with me?" Rocky wanted to seize the chance to spend time with her.

"No, I'm leaving now. I have something else to do. Don't forget what I've told you," Lena said, before somberly turning to leave.

"The worse thing for anyone is to encounter a beautiful flower in your path but be unable to pick it," Rocky sighed, shaking his head.

Uriah also sadly whined in a low voice.

Rocky asked all the maids in his palace to leave his room before taking out one of the two yellow spiritual crystals the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire had given him. Uriah took the crystal as Rocky took two drops of the magical saliva. Then, he began to absorb the spiritual power in the yellow spiritual crystal, together with Uriah.

After reaching the Earthly Stage, the spiritual power required for evolving the grade was dozens of times more than the equivalent process at the Mortal Stage. This time, he took one more drop of the magical saliva. However, the speed of the upgrading was still much slower than when he had done the same process at the Mortal Stage. Because the yellow spiritual crystal's spiritual power was very dangerous, he would not make the same mistake as last time and absorb all of the spiritual power. It had nearly been fatal last time.

One night later, Rocky and Uriah had absorbed the spiritual power of one yellow spiritual crystal together. But their spiritual power had only increased by a small margin. At this rate, Rocky would only reach the next grade after absorbing the power from several more yellow spiritual crystals.

Currently, the fastest way to enhance his power was to absorb the spiritual power in these crystals, but they were a rarity. Besides, the emperor had only allotted him two of them! Rocky definitely had to find a way to get some more after these two were used up.

Rocky naturally thought about Marcia. He planned to make time to visit her and exchange another vial of Uriah's magical saliva for some yellow spiritual crystals.

Then Rocky immediately felt uncomfortable as he remembered that he had to visit the Ximen Clan. He groaned at the realization that he had to meet Shirley again.

Rocky cleaned himself up after the sun rose. After breakfast, his servant reported to him that the carriage which the Ximen Clan had sent to welcome him was already at his palace.

"I am going to fight a battle. You stay here and I will ask those maids to play with you." Rocky patted Uriah's head and left the room.

He saw a fancy carriage as he came down the spiral staircase. Four spirit manipulators were riding on horses. They were dressed in grand uniforms, which were embroidered with the Ximen Clan's emblem. Rocky could sense that they were at the first or second grade of the Heavenly Stage.

Seeing Rocky emerge from the palace, the spirit manipulators immediately got down from the horses and bowed deeply. "Your Royal Highness, we are ordered by our leader of the Ximen Clan to come here to welcome you. Please get into the carriage."
