“Old Huang, I have a feeling that Fairy Huan Pavilion is not a good place, I suggest you best not go there, Hehuan Sect is certainly not a righteous sect.” After thinking for a bit, Lin Yi decided to warn Old Huang.

Yesterday, after he left the place where the shadows were observed, he gained the experience value of the titles of ‘Xiaogou’ and ‘Color is Void’, which confirmed his conjectures were correct.

“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing, I’m not getting any younger. Soon I’ll be pushing up the daisies. I won’t have many days left to enjoy, hehe…” Old Huang waved his hand and laughed, seemingly unconcerned. As he spoke, he started coughing violently. Lin Yi quickly stepped forward and patted his back.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, just an old ailment.” Old Huang said with a chuckle.

After chatting with Old Huang, Lin Yi began to water the twenty acres of Spiritual Field. After a while, he noticed that his neighbor Lv Qing Ming also came out to water his Spiritual Field. His face was pale and he looked frail, probably he hadn’t been able to sleep well these past few days.

Just after watering ten acres, as he was about to rest, suddenly, several monks in black uniforms with stern faces came strolling over, brimming with an intimidating aura.

On seeing this, the surrounding Spirit Farmers fell silent. Those who were chatting on the road moved aside, their faces tense.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but glance at Lv Qing Ming, seeming to have a guess. The black clothes are the uniforms of the Law Enforcement Hall, it seems that there has been progress on Zhang Yuan Cheng’s case. He whistled softly, and Zhi Ling, who was basking on the roof, instantly leaped towards him.

This little fellow had been running wildly for several days straight and ultimately became exhausted, and was currently recovering.

He extended his palm and caught Zhi Ling, whispering a few phrases into its ear. Zhi Ling nodded its little head, then lept back to the roof and hopped into Lv Qing Ming’s house.

Suddenly, two big dogs rushed out from the house and disappeared into the woods behind it, seeming to hold something in their mouths.

Upon hearing the commotion, Lv Qing Ming glared at the house and shouted angrily, “You two knaves! Stealing things, huh…’

However, before he could finished speaking, he saw the monks dressed in black walking towards him. His face changed dramatically and in panic, he neglected the watering of his Spiritual Field and hurried back home.

The black-robed monks seeing this, quickly approached, “Lv Qing Ming, we are from the Law Enforcement Hall, something’s up with you, come with us.”

“Don’t come in, I was forced to do it…” Lv Qing Ming’s voice, full of anxiety, came from the house.

The black-robed monks looked at each other, spiritual power swirling around them, activating their defensive spells. They first threw out several Smoke and Exploding talismans. When the smoke filled the air and explosions sounded within the courtyard, they then broke into the house.

A look of admiration crossed Lin Yi’s face, first throwing smoke and stun grenades, then attacking, this was quite similar to the routines of Earth’s police force.

The Exploding Talisman was similar to a stun grenade. It caused an explosion through the impact of spiritual power, making a sound as loud as thunder. However, its lethality was not too great, and was generally used as a warning or to scare off enemies.

After a short while, the house fell silent. Soon, two black-robed monks escorted Lv Qing Ming out, while the others were rummaging through the house.

“Deacon Wang, we have searched all the items, but two big dogs ran out from the house just now. They should be his pets. Shall we chase them?” Two monks who had finished checking the house came out and asked a middle-aged monk.

Although all these people were dressed in black, the designs embroidered on their chest were different. The rest of the monks had a single sword embroidered, only this man had two swords. Such design patterns also appeared on the SiNong Palace uniform, just not as conspicuous as the black clothes. Moreover, they used different shades of clothing colors to identify job grades.

At this moment, the Spiritual Field Manager Meng Le Min, upon hearing the news, hurried over, “Deacon Wang, he got into trouble but the animals he raised are innocent. Please spare them.”

The stern-looking middle-aged man pondered for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, since the steward has interjected, we won’t pursue it any further, let’s go.” Then, with Lv Qing Ming in tow, he headed towards the Inner Sect.

“Everybody continue watering your fields, the matter concerning Lv Qing Ming and Zhang Yuan Cheng doesn’t involve us.” Meng Le Min looked at the surrounding Spirit Farmers and said, waving his hand calmly.

After that, he greeted Lin Yi again, “Brother Lin, if those two dogs come back, I ask you to look after them for a while and then let me know.”

“Alright, Manager Meng.” Lin Yi nodded in agreement. The fact that Meng is willing to save the lives of the two dogs is truly a stark contrast to Zhang Yuan Cheng.

Old Huang had a satisfying smile on his face, “Look, Zhang Yuan Cheng is definitely done for. He targets all the Spirit Farmers who seem to be easy to bully or he finds displeasing, forcing them to leave, so that he can continue to earn Spirit Stones by using the vacant Spiritual Fields.”

While speaking, he looked at Lin Yi with a touch of emotion on his face, “You, young fellow, are one of the rare ones who leased twenty mu and managed to hold on. Tell me, how were you able to involve Li Yuan Qing, a disciple of Gold Sword Zen Ren?”

“I did not ask. I merely ran into Senior Brother Li accidentally.” Lin Yi responded earnestly before continuing to water his Spiritual Field.

After finishing watering the remaining ten mu of Spiritual Fields, he returned home and patted Zhi Ling’s head, instructing it to call the two large dogs over.

Previously, through the title effect of [Junior Dung Cleaner], he persuaded the two dogs to switch sides. He couldn’t just watch them die, could he? Thus, he had Zhi Ling notify them when the cultivators from the law enforcement arrived.

Before long, Zhi Ling chirped twice and immediately jumped onto the roof, heading towards the woods behind them. Shortly after, Zhi Ling came home leading the two large dogs, each clutching a bag of Spirit Rice weighing several tens of pounds.

Witnessing this, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh. When he originally told Zhi Ling to summon them, he didn’t mention bringing Spirit Rice. “You two blokes even brought your own dog food. Not bad.”

The two large dogs went up to him wagging their tails incessantly.

Lin Yi patted each of their heads and temporarily arranged a doghouse for them. After lunch, he headed to the small market, practicing his Wind Law ability all along the way.

When he arrived at the small market, he unexpectedly saw Li Yuan Qing. His imposing aura was so strong that no Spirit Farmers dared to set up stalls nearby.

“Senior Brother Li.” Lin Yi approached and saluted with his fist. Although Senior Brother Li was a Foundation Building cultivator, Outer Sect disciples like them could call each other ‘Senior Brother’ before accepting a master. After accepting a master, they would have to address each other according to seniority.

Not every Inner Sect disciple could become a disciple of a Golden Core Real Person. Many ended up as disciples to Foundation Building cultivators.

“Have you recently made any talisman scrolls?” Li Yuan Qing nodded slightly, before asking.

Lin Yi then pulled out 120 top-grade Raging Fire talisman scrolls. He planned to keep the remaining talisman scrolls, mostly of auxiliary types, for his own use.

With talisman in hand, he handed them over to Li Yuan Qing, “Senior Brother, you don’t need to pay me the highest price, just the regular purchasing price of one Spirit Stone per talisman will do.”

“Give me your Storage Symbol.” Li Yuan Qing said expressionlessly.

Lin Yi handed over the Storage Symbol. Li Yuan Qing transferred Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag into it and returned it, “There are over 150 Spirit Stones in it. Let’s keep it at this price for all future transactions.”

“Thank you, Senior Brother. I was fortunate to have your aid the last time. Please give me a chance to express my gratitude.” Lin Yi put away the Storage Symbol and saluted once more.

“I’ll find you if there comes a time when I need your gratitude. I won’t ask for something beyond your abilities.” Li Yuan Qing said calmly.

After pondering for a while, he continued, “I’ll be cultivating and won’t be able to set up stall recently. My Sound Transmission Talisman is in the Storage Symbol. You can notify me if you have talisman scrolls. I’ve also taken care of the matter with Zhang Yuan Cheng for you; there won’t be any leaked information.

“Once again, thank you, Senior Brother.” Lin Yi saluted and then left the small market, shaking his head with a smile. He was naive to think that he could clear his debt to a Foundation Building cultivator with Spirit Stones, while in fact he owed him a favor.

Favors are historically hard to return. Regardless of what he could do to repay Li Yuan Qing’s favor, increasing his Cultivation levels was always the right way forward..
