When Chu Qiuchi heard this, his expression changed, then he sneered, "If you want to target my Chu Family, then just say it, for such a reason, aren't you afraid of others sneering at you?"

After saying that, his face turned cold and he said while clenching his teeth, "If my Chu Family had spirit stones, do you think you could capture me so easily? Would I only be a Pulse Wheel Realm martial artist? If you have spirit stones, you will face a cultivator and not a martial artist! "

"Second Master Chu, I know you won't admit it so easily. However, since this storage pouch is in my hands, there's no point in arguing with me."

Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows and laughed coldly, "Second Master Chu, since you recognized this storage bag, then you should know what was inside! There are more than one or two spirit stones inside! "

Chu Qiuchi's face was dark as he coldly said, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Lin Cheng nodded his head and said, "Second Master Chu, I understand what you are thinking. You think that if we don't talk about the spirit stones, you might have a chance of survival, and the Chu Clan will soon notice that something has happened in the mine. They will send people to investigate, and you'll definitely be saved.

"Humph!" "Since you understand this logic, then you should not have come to provoke my Chu Family."

He stared at Lin Cheng and said in a deep voice, "I don't know where you heard this from, but you can be sure that my Chu Family has spirit stones. If they had spirit stones, do you think the Chu Family would still be living in this small Ci City?"

After a pause, Chu Qiuchi said, "Little brother, perhaps you were inspired by someone, or perhaps you have misunderstood, but no matter what the reason is, as long as you let me go, then I can pretend that what happened today never happened and let bygones be bygones!"

"Haha …"

Lin Cheng couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he heard these words. "Second Master Chu, you sure have a sharp tongue. But, do you think that the fact that I dared to lay my hands on you was on the spur of the moment and not a thorough investigation?"

Chu Qiuchi's heart sank when he heard this. Just as he wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Lin Cheng.

"There's no need for Second Master Chu to conceal whether or not the Chu Clan has spirit stones. No matter how much you try to conceal it, it's bound to be impossible."

Lin Cheng smiled slightly, "Second Master Chu, tell me, if the news of the Chu Clan having spirit stones were to spread to the outside world, or even to sects that belong to the sect or the Myriad Sword Sect, or even just any rogue cultivator who heard this rumor, do you think they would come to the Chu Clan to ask for spirit stones?"

As he spoke till this point, Lin Cheng chuckled, "A spirit stone vein, even the small sects in the cultivation world would have to be agitated over it right?" Then, to those rogue cultivators who originally lacked cultivation resources, what kind of reaction would they have when they heard this news? "

Chu Qiuchi's expression suddenly changed, his heart thumped.

This was the outcome he was most unwilling to see!

Lin Cheng's words had hit the weak spot of the Chu Family!

Whether it was a sect in the cultivation world or a random rogue cultivator who knew of this news, whether it was true or false, they would definitely not miss it and would definitely come to the Chu Clan to demand for spirit stones … No, at that time, it would not just be a demand, but a snatch!

He had to endure the blows of a cultivator!

When he thought of this, Chu Qiuchi could already see the miserable scene of blood flowing like rivers and corpses littering the ground.

A deep chill rose from Chu Qiuchi's spine, rushing up his spine and exploding above his head … Chu Qiuchi's hands and feet were ice-cold.

"Have you considered it?"

Lin Cheng's calm voice sounded again, "I don't have much time to waste on you, I will only give you 50 breaths of time. After this time, you can go to hell and wait. The rest of the Chu Family will be there to accompany you soon …"

"How dare you!"

Chu Qiuchi was instantly enraged, growling.

Lin Cheng laughed, "Why would I not dare to?"

Chu Qiuchi gritted his teeth, "The Chu Clan has no spirit stones, never! "At least all I know is that there isn't any."

Lin Cheng was not disappointed. He only shook his head and smiled, "Since that's the case, there's no other way. I can only inform the closest faction after killing you …"

Chu Qiuchi clenched his teeth, staring straight at Lin Cheng, his eyes filled with anger and hatred.

Seeing Chu Qiuchi's expression, Lin Cheng couldn't help but furrow his brows. Chu Qiuchi was obviously still hoping for a chance, he believed that when the Chu Family realized that there was a problem with the mine, they would definitely come to save him.

Lin Cheng glanced at Chu Qiuchi, then turned and walked out.

A moment later, Lin Cheng walked in again, this time with a person in his hand.

"Bam!"

Lin Cheng casually tossed that person onto the ground, before heavily slamming onto the ground. The intense pain caused that person to shriek miserably.

"Old He?"

Chu Qiuchi immediately recognized who it was. The one that fell was none other than the manager, Old He. He quickly shouted, "Old He, how are you?"

Seeing the dispirited look on manager He's face, Chu Qiuchi immediately turned to look angrily at Lin Cheng. His eyes were incomparably vicious. Although it only lasted for a moment, it did not escape Lin Cheng's eyes.

But Lin Cheng didn't care and looked at the manager, "Who are you?" You should know where the spirit stones are located, right? "

When Supervisor He, who was gritting his teeth to endure the pain, heard this, his body suddenly stiffened. He then pretended as if he hadn't heard anything, gritting his teeth as he grinded his teeth, completely ignoring Lin Cheng.

"Manager He, I know that you are loyal to the Chu Clan, but if you want to take revenge or save the Chu Clan, you can only tell me where the spirit stones are."

Lin Cheng said, "Otherwise, if I don't get the spirit stones, then this news will spread out and even be sent to the Guiyi Marquis. When that happens, the Chu Clan will lose more than just spirit stones!"

Supervisor He stopped moving, and the silent voice came to an abrupt stop.

"Old He!"

Chu Qiuchi growled, his voice stern.

Manager He then lowered his head, as if he hadn't heard Lin City's words. He was indifferent.

Lin Cheng laughed heartily, "Looks like Second Master Chu is rather unyielding now? "Alright, since that's the case, I'll have to invite Second Elder to have a taste of the medicinal pill I just concocted …"

Pills?

This young man was actually an apothecary?

Chu Qiuchi and Manager He were shocked when they heard this. They looked at Lin Cheng in shock and their hearts couldn't help but sink.

They never thought that Lin City would actually be an alchemist. This made them feel that something was amiss. They would rather fall into the hands of a vicious martial artist than be captured by an alchemist.

Fighters could only use a few special methods to torture them, but apothecaries had countless ways to torture them to death!

However, upon recalling the age of Lin City, the two of them felt a little relieved in their hearts.

Alchemists needed talent, but they also needed experience. All alchemists who had the ability to do so had already gone through decades of immersion.

Lin Cheng might not even be twenty years old, but it would already be incredible if he could forge one or two pills. How many methods could he possibly have?

It seemed like Lin City was only putting pressure on them, and that was it.

As they thought of this, Lin Cheng took out a porcelain bottle from his storage pouch and poured out a pill. At this moment, the duo wasn't too nervous.

Not to mention the efficacy of this pill, even if it was really poison, as long as the Chu Clan people noticed that there was something wrong with the mine and sent someone over, this little b * stard would definitely die!

As for the two of them, even if they were poisoned, they would be able to return to the clan and allow the physician to treat their poison.

They believed that Lin Cheng wouldn't take their lives just because he wanted to know about the spirit stones from them!

Thus, when Lin City grabbed Chu Qiuchi's chin and popped the pill into his mouth, he actually sneered at Lin City with an ice-cold gaze.

Lin Cheng's expression was calm as he fed the pill to Chu Qiuchi. Then, he retreated two steps, silently watching him.

"Humph!"

Chu Qiuchi sneered, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, you're still so young, yet you pretend to be so powerful. Once I'm free, I'll definitely split your tendons and break your bones, and I'll let you have a taste of what it means to truly beg for death, to not be able to beg for death!

"Ugh!"

Suddenly, Chu Qiuchi frowned.

In the next moment, his expression changed drastically as his eyes widened, as if he had seen something unbelievable. The color of Chu Qiuchi's face instantly vanished, his face turning deathly pale!

Ah!

An incomparably shrill scream came out from Chu Qiuchi's mouth. In the next moment, his entire body violently twitched and struggled, but because of the poison, he didn't even have the strength to stand up. He could only roll on the ground with difficulty, screaming miserably.

Manager He was shocked by the sudden change and he quickly shouted, "Second master! Second Master, what happened to you? "

"Stop screaming, it's useless."

Lin Cheng said, "The pills I gave him won't take his life, but they will cause his meridians to spin crazily. His meridians won't be able to withstand the massive amount of soul force, and they will be broken into pieces by the impact, and then the chaotic soul force will rush all the way to his dantian. If he is lucky, he might be able to shatter his meridians earlier today …"

Manager He could no longer hear what was being said at the back of the city. At this moment, there was only a single sentence in his head: "All of his meridians are broken, and all of his cores are shattered …"

If it was an Arterial Circulation Realm cultivator who wanted to break into the Danhai Realm, breaking through to the Danshui Stage was a must.

However, the Second Master was only at the eighth level of the Arterial Circulation Realm. If he were to break through now, wouldn't he be courting death?

What's more … This wasn't because he had shattered his own dantian, but because his dantian had been forcefully destroyed by the boundless Yuan Power. This clearly meant that he wanted to become a cripple!

Seeing Lin City's calm expression, Manager He felt his hands and feet go cold as he stood dumbly on the spot.
