"No worries!"
Xiao Qing shook his head and said, "I won't mention that I've ascended to the Emperor Realm. I'll just say I took a Transformation Pill, so as not to provoke her. Ling Wu probably doesn't know much about Divine Beasts."
Even at the level of an Immortal Spiritual Beast, reaching the King Realm is required to take a Transformation Pill to assume human form.
However, Divine Beasts only find the pill effective once they've reached the Emperor Realm.
"Alright then."
Ling Chen thought about it and nodded in agreement.
The two were bound to meet anyway.
If Xiao Qing hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known there was such a secret about Divine Beasts.
No wonder Xiao Qing was reluctant to take it before.
The Transformation Pill isn't all that rare.
You can obtain it right in Qing Province.
He didn't know, so Ling Wu most likely wouldn't know either.
Thus, Ling Chen and Xiao Qing returned to the outer sect.
