However, just as his hand was about to reach Lin Cheng's mouth, Qin Muyang suddenly felt a burst of elemental energy waves. Before he could react, a heart-wrenching pain suddenly came from his abdomen.
"Bam!"
A pair of palms slammed heavily into Qin Muyang's abdomen. The powerful force instantly sent him flying out of the arena. He screamed miserably as he fell to the ground.
He quickly got up from the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. He was obviously heavily injured. He stared at Lin Cheng in shock, "You, you've actually recovered, even recovered your strength?!"
Lin Cheng stood up from his chair but didn't say anything unnecessary. He stepped on the seven stars in the sky and arrived in front of Qin Muyang in the blink of an eye. He then sent out another palm strike.
Qin Muyang's cultivation was higher than his, how could he give him the chance to recover?
"Eldest Young Master, you …" Qin Mu Yang was alarmed. Just as he was about to shout, Lin Cheng was already in front of him. He raised his hands to block instinctively.
"Bam!"
Qin Muyang's body jolted, and he felt as though he was being rammed head-on by a frenzied demonic beast. With a blood-curdling screech, he was sent flying once more.
This time, his arm was bent down, showing an abnormal distortion. It was obvious that his bones had been broken by Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng was also shaken to the point that his blood was churning and his hands were numb. Although he had taken a sneak attack on Qin Muyang by surprise, his cultivation was still too low, but it was not a big problem for him so he once again rushed towards Qin Muyang.
Seeing Lin City closing in once again, Qin Muyang could see the cold killing intent in Lin Cheng's eyes. How could he not understand that Lin Cheng wanted to kill him? He was so shocked that his soul left his body, "Young master, please spare me …"
"Bam!"
Lin Cheng's palm landed on Qin Muyang's head, instantly shattering his skull, ending his pleas for mercy.
Qin Muyang, dead!
"Phew!"
Seeing that Qin Muyang had finally been killed, Lin Cheng finally heaved a sigh of relief. Qin Muyang's cultivation was much higher than his. If it wasn't for him being caught off guard, Lin Cheng would be the one to die.
Before Lin Cheng could relax, he felt a stifling sensation in his chest and his Qi and blood surged. He knew that he had suffered some internal injuries as a result of the backlash from Qin Muyang's elemental energy. However, he endured the discomfort and hid Qin Muyang's body under the bed in his room before returning to the courtyard. Then, he sat down cross-legged and started to circulate the Sky Spill Mysterious Technique to heal his injuries.
Only then did he stand up and look at the sky. When the sky had turned dark, he could not help but feel secretly glad that he was not treated well in the family and that no one came to visit him. Otherwise, the commotion caused by the fight might have already alerted someone else.
Late at night.
Lin City carried Qin Muyang's body and quietly jumped over the wall, disappearing into the darkness.
The next morning, Lin Cheng woke up from his cultivation state, a light flashed across his eyes. After a night of cultivation, the minor injuries he and Qin Muyang suffered during the battle had been completely healed, and there were even signs of improvement.
"Sky Spill Profound Art, Earth Grade cultivation method, it really does live up to its name!" Lin Cheng sighed in admiration in his heart.
Even though Lin Cheng had already felt the shocking effects of the Heaven's Divination technique when he was reborn, it was obvious that he had recovered after being heavily injured. However, he was already at the fourth level of the Body Refinement Realm, so his effects were still astonishing.
"I have this martial art to help me break through to the Danhai Realm. What I lack now is pellets!"
Lin Cheng thought to himself, "It's impossible to obtain medicinal herbs from the Lin Clan, needless to say, expensive medicinal pills. The only way is to obtain them from the outside world!"
After taking care of the internal affairs, Lin City left the small courtyard. He wanted to go to Dongluo City and have a look.
In his memory, although Dongluo City was only a small city, but the State of Xing Luo was located in the northern part of the East Continent, which was the territory of Gui Sect.
Together, they were the strongholds of the sect within their sphere of influence. There, one could buy pills, cultivation techniques, weapons, and all sorts of things below the Danhai Realm, except for cultivation techniques.
As long as he had enough money!
As for things above the Danhai Realm, they were already considered treasures for the martial artists of the mortal world. They could not be bought with money, so they had to be bought with spirit stones.
However, even though the World of the Nine Continents was vast and boundless, there were many sects and clans here. Every known spirit stone vein had an owner, so it was easier said than done for ordinary cultivators to obtain spirit stones!
Even if there really were spirit stones, no one would be willing to buy them. The rich spiritual energy contained within the spirit stones was definitely a great tool for cultivation, and to cultivators, it was a supreme treasure. Countless battles over spirit stones were taking place.
The small courtyard in Lin City was very remote, and if one wanted to leave, they would have to pass through the entire Lin Clan encampment. After walking for a short while, the sounds of battle could be heard. He knew that the members of the Lin Clan were practicing their battle techniques in the training field.
Sure enough!
When Lin City passed by the martial arts practice field, he saw nearly a hundred youths practicing martial arts. Standing at the very front was a middle-aged man. This was the Lin Clan's instructor and one of the clan's elders.
However, what caught Lin City's attention the most was a young man standing in the first row.
Lin Xing!
From afar, he could see Lin Xing in a training uniform. Each and every move of his was well-planned, and he looked handsome and handsome. However, between his brows, he had the unkind attitude of his mother Tan Yulan.
At this moment, Lin Xing also noticed Lin Cheng. His movements slightly slowed as a trace of a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. After which, he started practicing even harder.
Lin Cheng merely smiled noncommittally at this and quickly walked past.
Because it was still early, Dongluo City was not bustling yet. People were passing by on the streets, and most of them were warriors who had gone out to hunt.
Following the route in his memory, Lin City soon found the location of the gathering. As soon as they opened the door, the interior of the store was deserted. After Lin City entered, it immediately attracted the attention of the shopkeeper.
"What does this young master need?" The manager asked with a smile.
"I want to buy some herbs." Lin Cheng said, "However, I don't have money, but in exchange, I can help you refine some pills."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he immediately became more enthusiastic, "Young master is an apothecary?"
Lin Cheng nodded his head, "That's right!"
The manager asked, "May I ask what grade you are at?"
Lin Cheng thought for a moment and said, "I can concoct any pills below Grade Four. If you have a pill formula below grade-4, I can also forge it with an 80% success rate. "As for the grade-5 pills, I can refine them as well. However, the success rate is not that high, so it would be a bit difficult."
Before his rebirth, even though he was unable to cultivate, he had the Blue Flames. Medicinal pills below Grade 5 were all easy to obtain, but now that he had lost the Blue Flames, refining Grade 5 pills was a little difficult.
However, what Lin Cheng didn't expect was that after he finished speaking, the manager frowned and revealed an expression of displeasure. "Mister, it's a bit inappropriate to come here so early in the morning to amuse this old man, right?"
Lin Cheng asked, "Entertain you? "I don't quite understand …"
"If grade-4 pills are that easy to forge, why would I need to be brought together? How can a grade-4 apothecary not be satisfied with the way things are! " The shopkeeper said with a dark expression.
Lin City then realized that the shopkeeper thought he was bragging. It seemed that his age was being looked down upon by the shopkeeper.
Lin Cheng smiled as he clasped his hands and said, "Shopkeeper, I'm not bragging, I'm just …"
"Young master, please go back!"
Without waiting for Lin Cheng to finish, the shopkeeper waved his hand and impatiently interrupted him, "I am a hospitable group, but I am not a fool!"
Lin Cheng choked and was about to turn around and leave. But with a thought, he endured it and cupped his fists as he said, "Manager, I am not a swindler nor am I boasting. If you do not believe me, I still have some medicinal liquids left over from concocting pills. Although some of their medicinal effects have been lost, it is sufficient to prove my identity as an alchemist."
As he spoke, he took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom. This bottle contained the leftover medicinal liquid from refining the Three Treasures Pill, but there were only a few drops. The rest had all been consumed by him.
However, these drops of medicinal liquid were sufficient to display its potency.
The shopkeeper took the bottle without even looking at it. With a face full of disdain, he said, "Young man, I have good words to say to you. You better not be reckless. "Leave this place immediately! If not, not just anyone can cause trouble by coming here!"
Hearing that, Lin Cheng immediately frowned and said in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, I have the solution right here. You only need to verify and you will know that I'm telling the truth. Why are you so anxious to chase them out?"
"Humph!" You brought a bottle of medicinal liquid which isn't even a pill here, and you want the master apothecary who returned here to appraise it for you? This is ridiculous! "
The shopkeeper's face darkened. He casually threw the bottle on the ground. "Leave immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
It was one thing for this shopkeeper to judge a person by his appearance, but he was so arrogant as he sneered: "I've always heard that it's fair to buy and sell together, and treating guests with sincerity represents the face of Guiyi Sect in the mortal world. I never thought that a mere storekeeper would be so arrogant, so lofty, and so proud that you would lose all your face when you return to the sect!"
After speaking, Lin Cheng turned and left. Although he was angry, he was not impulsive. As a member of a transcendent power, naturally, he wasn't someone he could contend against. Naturally, he wouldn't stay here and wait to be dealt with.
"How dare you!"
The storekeeper was infuriated, and he fiercely slapped the counter. "Scram!"
Looking at Lin Cheng's departing back view, his face turned ashen as he snorted, "You refuse a toast only to be punished with wine!" "What a conceited thing!"
"What happened?!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded. A middle-aged man wearing a long robe walked out from the back hall.
The shopkeeper quickly cupped his hands and said, "Master Chen!"
"I really want to hear the dispute just now. Is someone here to cause trouble?" Master Chen nodded slightly and asked.
He's just a mere lunatic, yet he dares to claim that he's a Tier 4 alchemist. Furthermore, he says that the success rate of refining any pills below Tier 4 is above 80% and he can even refine a Tier 5 pill …" "The shopkeeper said disdainfully," "We are not a group of people that can be swindled, so I chased him away."
Master Chen was slightly startled when he heard that, "Oh? Grade-4 apothecary? Does he have any proof? "
The shopkeeper said with a smile, "He can't even take out a single pill. He only took out a bottle of medicinal liquid that isn't even a single pill for me to appraise …" It's the bottle on the floor! "
"Show me." Master Chen said.
