Lin Cheng frowned, "But what?"

Zhao Wanli said, "You must come back within half a year and participate in the Main Hall's assessment. Otherwise, Gong Qianxiang's death won't be so easily explained. I'm afraid that Main Hall will still pursue this matter."

A cold light flashed in Lin Cheng's eyes as he glared at Zhao Wanli.

Zhao Wanli was threatening him!

This person told Lin City to temporarily join in so that he could report Gong Qianxiang's death to the main hall. It was due to the internal conflict and Gong Qianxiang's provocation that Lin City was forced to kill Gong Qianxiang.

In this way, at most, the Main Hall would only punish Lin City to a certain extent, but this punishment was not enough to chase after them. It had to be within the limits of what Lin City could bear.

Moreover, Zhao Wanli could buy him half a year's worth of time.

However, from Lin City's perspective, this was Zhao Wanli's selfish intent. One must know, if he had already joined the gathering, regardless of whether he had come to participate in the examination within half a year, it would not affect his status as a guest alchemist.

Therefore, even if he hadn't returned in half a year, the Main Hall should have dealt with his conflict with Gong Qianxiang based on the nature of internal private strife.

However, according to Zhao Wanli, if he did not return within half a year, it would be difficult for him to explain the matter to the Chief Hall. The Chief Hall would pursue the matter further; this was clearly threatening Lin City, indicating that even if he managed to hide now, the matter was not over yet.

Most importantly, Lin City had to return. With the identity of a guest apothecary from the Dongluo City branch, he was heading to the main hall to participate in the examination.

Because, if Lin City was able to pass the exam, then Zhao Wanli would receive the points reward.

"Little thief, this is to ensure that we won't be chased down by the main hall, so you can earn points for him." Bamboo Fork, who was at the side, intentionally lowered her voice and reminded him.

"I know."

Lin Cheng nodded his head.

If he agreed to it, then it would mean that both sides had reached an agreement. If he didn't fulfill the agreement, Zhao Wanli would have a different way of explaining things to the Main Hall. Perhaps, it would have become him killing Gong Qianxiang without any reason and provoking everyone.

As for how to explain his identity as a guest pill refiner, Zhao Wanli would definitely have his ways.

Obviously, in Zhao Wanli's eyes, he had completely taken control of himself. With just a few words, he could either become a highly valued alchemist or a stray dog.

Only with this assurance did Zhao Wanli dare to come over at this moment and negotiate with him confidently. He even dared to join them for the time being, and then he could leave.

Lin Cheng shook his head and smiled, then said blandly, "If I don't come back after half a year, Chief Steward Zhao can send someone to kill me. Is that not Chief Steward Zhao's plan?"

"As long as Sir Lin carries out our decisions, this sort of thing will never happen. Moreover, I will do my best to help Sir Lin in the main hall."

Obviously, he wanted to let Lin City know that if they did not fulfill the agreement between the two of them, then those who were waiting for Lin City would all come together to hunt them down.

However, Zhao Wanli didn't know that in his opinion, the people who came back for him were extremely frightening, and those who were being hunted would undoubtedly die as well. This was his greatest reliance. However, in the eyes of the Lin City, the pursuit of all of them might not be that terrifying. Even if all of them came from a sect, he was not afraid in the slightest.

His target was the elder of the Myriad Sword Sect, Zuo Mu. How could he be afraid of another sect chasing him down?

However, after a moment of hesitation, Lin Cheng nodded his head and agreed, "Fine, let's do it for half a year. If I don't return after half a year, Chief Steward Zhao can handle it by himself."

Zhao Wanli's eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly said, "Apothecary Lin, you will definitely not regret your choice today."

He immediately changed the way he addressed Lin City. From Sir Lin to Apothecary Lin, he wanted to immediately confirm Lin City's identity as a guest apothecary.

Lin Cheng gave a noncommittal smile, "Perhaps."

Zhao Wanli saw that Lin City still had some doubts, and as if he did not believe Lin Fan's words, he said, "Pill Master Lin, you might not know this, but I once heard from a friend in the main hall that the main hall is recruiting apothecaries not for the sake of strengthening themselves. More importantly, it seems that the main reason is because the main hall is recruiting apothecaries."

Since Lin City had agreed to join the sect, Zhao Wanli's tone of voice sounded much more intimate.

"It belongs to the sect?"

Lin Cheng couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. He then asked, "Does Gui Sect still need to recruit alchemists from the outside world?"

How could a dignified cultivation world lack alchemists?

Of course, it was not easy to find outstanding alchemists anywhere. But the problem was that the alchemists in Gui Yuan Sect were much better than those in the outside world who had not even broken through to the Danhai Realm. Why did they have to recruit alchemists from the mortal world?

"This is not something a small branch steward like me can know. I've only heard about it from my friends in the main hall, but if you think about it carefully, it's very likely to be true."

Zhao Wanli said, "As far as I know, the Main Hall has recruited at least dozens of outstanding apothecaries in the past half year. Zhao Wanli said," As far as I know, the Main Hall has recruited at least dozens of outstanding apothecaries in the past half year, but as far as I know, the Main Hall has not recruited many new branches.

"Did all of these apothecaries pass the examination?" Lin Cheng asked.

"Of course."

Zhao Wanli nodded and said, "You should know the influence of Apothecary Lin. Now that we are here to recruit apothecaries, do you think that there are only a few dozen people here to participate? "In my Dongluo City alone, there are at least several hundred people who came to register. Unfortunately, none of them passed the examination …"

He shook his head regretfully. If the assessment was not too difficult to pass, why would he humbly ask Lin City to join the gathering?

Lin Cheng couldn't help but be shocked. Just Dongluo City alone had hundreds of people registering, and all of Star Luo Country had tens of people that had passed the exam?

If this was the case, the number of apothecaries recruited this time around would likely be a shocking figure.

One had to know that it was not only the Stargaze State that was present here. There were almost all the kingdoms in the northern part of the Eastern Region, and each of them had their own headquarters. The other cities had their own branches.

Strictly speaking, it should be the reunion of every kingdom, and that was the true division. The hall that directly belonged to the sect was the true headquarters.

As for branch halls like the one in Dongluo City, they were actually just a small branch.

It could be said that the gathering had covered the entire northern part of the Eastern Region!

That was why Zhao Wanli was so confident that he would never be able to escape this battle. It was because the number of experts in this battle was too great. No matter where he went, he would never be able to escape!

From this, it was obvious how many alchemists had been recruited.

Lin City couldn't help but be surprised. He realized that what Zhao Wanli had heard was true. With so many alchemists gathered in the main hall, there was a high chance that the sect was recruiting alchemists.

But the problem was, why did Gui Yuan Sect need an apothecary? Furthermore, there were so many apothecaries?

"If there is a chance, you can participate in the examination. Perhaps, you might really have a chance to enter the sect." Lin Cheng thought to himself, "Only by joining a sect, can I truly learn profound techniques and battle skills. Only then, can I have the strength to kill Zuo Mu."

"However, we'll have to wait until we return from the Great Luo Mountain Range."

"Even if I am unable to enter the sect, I still have the cultivation technique on the leather scroll. It is also a cultivation technique that belongs to cultivators."

Lin City would rather go to the Great Luo Mountain Range and find out what was written on the map than participate in the examination.

More importantly, Lin City did not trust Zhao Wanli very much. He did not have any of the expectations or expectations of others when they came together, because he knew it was only a place of power that was not as noble as a place of power.

At the same time, Lin Cheng could faintly sense that it wouldn't be so simple for the Apothecary Sect to recruit so many apothecaries this time.

"Little thief."

Bamboo Shoot's voice sounded from the side, "Someone else is coming."

Lin City immediately turned his head to look, and saw that at the other end of the street, there were a few people on horseback, looking in their direction.

Lin Hu!

Seeing the man on the horse at the front, Lin Cheng immediately recognized that it was the head of the Lin Clan, and also his current father, Lin Hu.

At this time, Lin Hu clearly saw him and stopped his horse. Even from far away, Lin Cheng could still see the shock and anger on his face.

"Unfilial son!"

A furious roar came out from Lin Hu's mouth as he galloped his horse closer to Lin City. However, he was stopped by a few people behind him, and Lin Chen recognized them as the Lin Clan's elders.

"You actually killed your mother and your brother!"

Lin Hu held the horsewhip as he pointed it at Lin Cheng. Because of his anger and shock, his hands trembled slightly, "You are simply …"

"If I was the one who died today, would you still be so angry?" Lin Cheng lightly said, but this caused Lin Hu to be stunned.

"From the day I was expelled from the Lin Family, the Lin Family had nothing to do with me." Lin Cheng said faintly, "From then on, Tan Yulan and Lin Xing were the enemies that wanted to kill me. As for the enemies, the only thing I could do was to kill them."

He coldly looked at Lin Hu and said in a deep voice: "If you want to avenge them then don't hesitate to take action!"
