When Lin Xi arrived at the old woman's house, he casually found a stool to sit on and looked at the sleeping Liang Min before shaking his head helplessly.
Lin Xi didn't know whether he should wake her up or not right now.
In the end, Lin Xi made up her mind and decided to wake her up! If the sleeping Liang Min were to be harmed by others, he wouldn't even have a chance to regret it.
Lin Xi pressed on Liang Min's forearm with her big hand.
Ah!" "NOO!
"Big Brother Lin, we're fine!" Liang woke up in panic.
"With me here, how could anything happen? Have you had a nightmare? " Lin Xi asked in concern.
"Yes, the Golden Striped Dragon wants to kill us. We will fight it. I dreamt that my arm was bitten," said Liang Min as she looked at her aching arm.
She saw a red mark on her forearm.
At such a young age, Liang Min's brain was working very quickly. He knew what was going on just by thinking about it.
Just when she was about to get angry, she realized that the current scene wasn't at Dragon Pool. It seemed that she had already escaped. No matter what, the result was good. The anger in Liang Min's heart was completely wiped away by this joy.
The old woman quietly looked at the two without saying a word. Her hands rubbed against each other as if she was very anxious.
When Liang Min saw the old woman, she surprisingly shut her mouth, ignoring Lin Xi's intentions and continuing to scan her surroundings.
Lin Xi merely smiled back at him. Both were silent.
About two to three minutes later, Lin Xi heard noisy footsteps outside the door.
Then, a middle-aged man entered Lin Xi's line of sight. This man only had a medium build. Looking at the man's faint expression of goodwill, Lin Xi thought to himself, "Is this the opponent he found for me?" This man only had the strength of a late stage Invigorated Meridian Stage martial artist, so he didn't pose any threat to Lin Xi.
"Warrior Lin, I am the Fog Bamboo Village's chief – Zou Qing. Warriors from afar came to the Fog Bamboo Village. May I know what instructions you have?" Zou Qing asked Lin Xi respectfully.
"This brat, Lin Xi, had gotten lost in the Misty Bamboo Forest and mistakenly entered the village. Please forgive me for my inconvenience!" Lin Xi stood up and said to Zou Qing.
"Why bother? Come, brave warrior, drink a cup of water first!" As Zou Qing spoke, she brought a cup of water from the table.
On the surface, he looked like he wanted to toast Lin Xi with a glass of water. However, the spiritual energy quietly circulated and wrapped around the cup in his hand.
Lin Xi saw all of this. Not only him, even Liang Min beside him saw all of this. Liang Min even looked at Lin Xi worriedly. As for Lin Xi, she was still smiling, so she kept her worries away.
Lin Xi's defensive power was not something that ordinary cultivators could compare to. Even if she used martial arts to break through to the late stage of the Invigorated Meridian realm, there was no need for her to use the prehistoric body.
"Bo!" "Crack."
However, when Lin Xi's hand came in contact with the cup, a slight tremor passed through her body. To Lin Xi, this was nothing, but Zou Qing's Qi and blood surged.
After the concussion, the cup exploded. Zou Qing had also reached her limit. It was as if she had suffered some sort of attack. She kept backing away, but what about Lin Xi! As if nothing had happened, a smile still hung on his face.
"Clank!" Sitting on a pile of junk, Zou Qing's face was filled with shock. This young man's cultivation was actually higher than hers by several levels.
"Hualala ~ ~ ~"
When they heard the noise coming from inside the house, the people who were originally standing outside the yard rushed into the yard with all kinds of farm tools in their hands.
When everyone saw the scene in front of them, it was as if they couldn't believe it and their eyes were wide open. When they looked at Lin Xi again, there was anger and fear. Lin Xi only cast a sidelong glance at the intruding villagers before walking towards Zou Qing.
Lin Xi reached out her hand to pull Zou Qing up. "Why was Village Head Zou so careless!" Lin Xi was still smiling as she said, "Here." She took out a piece of spirit essence stone and stuffed it into Zou Qing's hand. "This spirit essence stone will be my compensation."
"Source spirit stones!"
It was unknown who spoke out from the crowd.
Zou Qing also quickly looked at the stone in her hand and sniffed it, "It's really spirit essence stones, and its quality isn't bad either!"
Zou Qing didn't hide anything as she spoke to the villagers.
"It really is spirit essence stones. Who is this person?" Why are you so generous? "
"Did one of them go out?"
"How is this possible? This young man is clearly a human, how can he be the same as those things that don't even look human or ghostly?"
"Lower your voice!" If he really is you, then I will die here today! "
Although these people spoke very softly, they were so close to Lin Xi that it was hard to hear them. However, the more Lin Xi heard, the more doubtful he became. Furthermore, they seemed to view spirit essence stones as treasures.
Lin Xi did not deny that spirit essence stones were essential for cultivation and trading, but they shouldn't be treated as treasures!
Although Lin Xi was confused, she didn't go up to ask about it.
Feeling that she had lost control of herself, Zou Qing cleared her throat and said, "Lin Yong, Brother Lin, please forgive the offense you committed just now."
Saying so, he bowed deeply to Lin Xi. On this planet where martial arts was revered, regardless of age or age, the strong were respected. Although Zou Qing was older than Lin Xi by over twenty years, she was exceptionally respectful.
When the others saw the village chief like this, they all bowed deeply to Lin Xi in apology.
"There's no need to do this!" Lin Xi held on to Zou Qing and said, "I'm here for the first time, there are still a lot of things I want to ask you, Village Head Zou."
"I wonder if I can help!"
Lin Xi didn't directly ask about it, instead tilting his head to look at the villagers who were standing in the courtyard.
Zou Qing immediately understood what Lin Xi meant and said, "Nothing much." Everyone disperse! Gao Xiaofei, wait outside the door. "
"Brother Lin, what do you want to ask?" "As long as I, Zou Qing, know, I will not hide anything from you!" Zou Qing didn't have any malice on his face. In fact, he even seemed to be trying to curry favor with him.
Could it be that this Village Head was bribed by one of my spirit essence stones? It was really difficult to achieve great things. However, it might be easier to get the news this way.
"I just heard people talking about what kind of person isn't a person. Where is Water Moon Temple? How many years has this been?" Lin Xi asked a few questions in succession. Zou Qing, who had a calm expression, slowly became nervous.
In the end, Zou Qing's face was covered in cold sweat. He calmed himself down and said, "I've already asked you all these questions. How many spirit essence stones will you give me?"
Lin Xi wasn't angry at Zou Qing's question and was even a little happy about it, so she asked, "How much do you want?"
"Ten, no no, at least fifty!" Zou Qing said with greed.
Lin Xi took out fifty spirit essence stones from her bosom and threw them on the table. "Here, here are fifty spirit essence stones. If you tell me what you think, I'll give you another fifty spirit essence stones!" Lin Xi said with a smile.
Seeing how generous Lin Xi was, Zou Qing's face twitched, thinking to herself, I really should ask for more.
