Chapter 142: My Encounter

Lin Changqing nodded: "Very good, now I will give you a chance to redeem your life. Do you think you have something or information that can redeem your life in my hands?

I can tell you now, you only have one chance, so think about it carefully.

And let me make it clear first, even if I let you go, I will destroy your cultivation and make you unable to practice forever. You must be aware of this. I will not let you go unscathed."

After saying that, he ignored him, found Lu Xinyi's storage bag, and started to practice the ritual. Thanks to the powerful spiritual sense, the ritual was completed quickly.

When his spiritual sense probed in to check, he found two to three thousand low-grade spirit stones, five medium-grade spirit stones, five low- and medium-level magic items, a shield, a high-grade defensive magic weapon, and a red crossbow magic weapon. This should be the magic crossbow that shot down Lin Changqing's flying boat!
The rest were some jade boxes, clothes, sundries, and a secret book. Lin Changqing took it out of the storage bag.

The cover reads "Red Lotus Burning Heaven Art". After opening it and taking a quick look, I found that this is a high-level technique for cultivating fire alone, which can be practiced to the late stage of foundation building. The specific grade is not written on it. Lin Changqing guessed that it is high.

After all, the two skills that Lin Changqing practiced were both heavenly, so he had a good idea of ​​what was good and what was bad.

At this time, Lu Xinyi also thought it through and made up his mind and said, "I have some news that should be able to redeem my life."

Lin Changqing glanced at him and said, "Okay! Tell me whether I can redeem your life or not. I will make the judgment after listening to you."

Lu Xinyi organized his words and said, "My brother and I embarked on the path of cultivating immortals because we encountered some adventures.

We were originally born in a remote mountain village under Baishan County, Qiyun Prefecture. When I was fifteen years old, my brother and I went into the mountains to collect herbs. Because we were greedy for medicinal herbs, we went too deep into the mountains and got lost unknowingly.

The two of us walked in the mountains for several days, feeling hungry and tired. Later, we found a cave on a rock wall, so we thought we could take a rest inside. But we didn't expect that after we went in.

We discovered that it was a cave. We found two books on cultivation techniques and several magical instruments in the rooms inside. The techniques in my storage bag and the magic crossbow were found there.

There are five rooms in the cave, and we only opened four. One of the rooms has never been opened. We estimate that the owner of the cave should be sitting in meditation inside, and his cultivation should be quite high. "

Hearing this, Lin Changqing's heart moved and asked, "How can you be sure that his cultivation is not low?"

Lu Xinyi explained: "Because these two exercises and magic tools were found in the study and a storage room, it proves that the owner of the cave does not think highly of them.

So we didn't bring it with us, and we went there twice more in the middle and late stages of Qi Refining, but we couldn't break the restriction on the door after trying every possible method, so we can judge that the owner of the cave is at least in the Foundation Establishment stage."

Lin Changqing nodded, agreeing with his judgment, and asked, "Where is the other martial arts book?"

Lu Xinyi replied: "In my brother's storage bag, there is also a first-class flying sword found in the cave. It is also in his possession."

Lin Changqing found his brother's storage bag and started to refine it. Not long after, the refinement was completed.

He entered with his spiritual sense to investigate and found more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones, no mid-grade spirit stones, and a pile of miscellaneous items in the jade box. He would deal with these when he had time. He then found the secret book of martial arts and took it out.

The name on the cover is "Xuanjin Lietian Jue". After flipping through it, I found that it can only be practiced to the late stage of foundation building.

Lin Changqing didn't care about the wealth of a foundation-building cultivator, but these two techniques were attractive to him. They were obviously much better than the inherited techniques in the family. He might go and look for them to see if he could find any subsequent techniques.

Whether it is for family members to practice or to increase family heritage, it is a good choice.

Lin Changqing glanced at him and said, "Record the specific path and how to get into the mountain. Once you're done, I'll let you go."

Lu Xinyi shook his head and said, "The place where I was born is too remote, and every time we go in, we use some signs to find the way. We have to go there in person to know how to go next."

Lin Changqing thought about it and nodded. Let's talk about it later when we have time. Anyway, keeping it in the spirit beast bracelet is just a waste of some ordinary food, and there is no need to worry about it turning over.

But let's just destroy him first! This way it's safer.

Thinking of this, he lifted Lu Xinyi up, stretched out his hand and pressed his dantian. Lu Xinyi screamed and twisted in pain in Lin Changqing's hand.

The spiritual energy of the whole body overflowed from the damaged dantian and the pores all over the body.

Lin Changqing didn't care about him and untied him to prevent him from being strangled to death due to lack of blood circulation.

Then he put him into the spirit beast bracelet and threw a lot of food and drinks into it for him.

I will need him when I have time to go treasure hunting in Qiyun Mansion. I will keep him for now and ignore him for now. There are still two more to deal with! I also released the alchemist Wang Youzong from the spirit beast bracelet.

As soon as this spineless guy came out, he kept begging for mercy, which made Lin Changqing start to get annoyed.

I decided to blast him, so I asked directly: "Lu Xinyi said you stored 30,000 spirit stones there? Tell me and I will spare your life?"

After hearing what Lin Changqing said, Wang Youzong's face turned pale with fright, and he cursed everyone in Lu Xinyi's family a thousand times in his heart.

He started to defend himself, "He's talking nonsense, I have so many spirit stones, only a little over 10,000 in total, and they're all in my storage bag.

Consider me a gift to you, sir. I only ask you to spare my life!

I can make elixirs for you, or work like a slave. As long as I can live, anything is fine!"

After hearing this, Lin Changqing glared at him and said, "The things in the storage bag are all my spoils of war. You want to use my spoils of war to exchange for your life. Isn't that too unrealistic?
Moreover, your alchemy skills are so poor, yet you want to stay and continue to waste my magical herbs and medicines. You are simply seeking death!
Now I'll give you another chance. Take out 20,000 spirit stones. Of course, spiritual objects of similar value are also acceptable.

Or some valuable information to redeem your life, otherwise I won't keep a waste like you and will send you on your way immediately."

After hearing this, Wang Youzong was terribly frightened. He was shaking all over, pissing and farting, and kept begging Lin Changqing to spare his life.

Seeing him like this, Lin Changqing was certain that he would not be able to make any money. A cultivator like him who was a robber had harmed countless people. Lin Changqing would not pity him, let alone show him mercy.

Since it has been confirmed to be of no value, let's just eliminate the harm to the world of immortal cultivation!
A golden light needle flew out from Lin Changqing's hand, pierced through Wang Youzong's head, and flew back to Lin Changqing's hand. Wang Youzong suddenly paused and fell straight to the ground.

There is no need to clean up the body. Leave it for Xu Meiniang to see later. It can be considered as a waste recycling.

This should be called killing a chicken to scare the monkey! Of course, if Xu Meiniang cannot truly surrender, then this monkey must also be killed.

It is impossible for Lin Changqing to keep a troublemaker around. Besides, the last time he saw her approaching him, she looked dusty and coquettish, and she didn't seem like a good person either.

After Lin Changqing sorted out his thoughts, he released Xu Meiniang from the spirit beast bracelet.

As soon as she came out, she saw a person lying next to her. It was her accomplice, the alchemist Wang Youzong. She was so frightened that her face turned pale, without a trace of blood. She trembled all over and began to cry.

Lin Changqing asked expressionlessly: "Xu Mei Niang, do you have anything to say? If not, I will send you on your way."

When she heard Lin Changqing say that he was going to kill her, she was so scared that she peed her pants and burst into tears, saying that she had not killed anyone or done anything bad and that her crime was not punishable by death.

Lin Changqing stood there and observed carefully for a while. He was 80% to 90% sure that she was not lying. After considering it, he decided to give her a chance, so he asked, "You said you are a winemaker?"

When Xu Meiniang heard this, it was like she had found a life-saving straw. She was so excited that she couldn't speak and could only nod desperately.

It took him a while to recover, and he quickly said, "Yes, I am a winemaker, and what I am best at is brewing Qingyue Spirit Wine, which can help break through bottlenecks.

I can also brew many different kinds of spirit wine, and I am willing to brew wine exclusively for you in the future."

Lin Changqing nodded: "How can you guarantee that you won't betray me in the future, so that I can use you with confidence?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Meiniang immediately knelt down and swore: "With the heaven and earth as my witness and the Dao as my witness, I, Xu Meiniang, am willing to recognize the monk in front of me as my master and serve him as my slave for the rest of my life. I will never betray you for the rest of my life. If you break this oath, your soul will be torn apart and you will die an untimely death!"

As soon as the oath was made, a magical force descended upon Lin Changqing's sea of ​​consciousness and formed a small silver rune. Lin Changqing had experienced this kind of situation once before.

The two silver runes were placed side by side, and he used his spiritual sense to try to touch Xu Meiniang's rune. A feeling of panic, uneasiness, tension, expectation, and all kinds of emotions intertwined together were transmitted to Lin Changqing's heart.

I suddenly realized that these emotions should be Xu Meiniang's current mood.

It was really magical. With this rune, Lin Changqing could feel Xu Meiniang's various emotions, and Lin Changqing had a feeling that if this rune was broken, Xu Meiniang would immediately be horrified and die.

The previous time with Mu Xiaoxiao, time was too tight in the secret realm and Lin Changqing didn’t have time to study it, so he put it aside when he got busy.

It just so happened that Xu Meiniang's oath this time also formed such a rune, so Lin Changqing took this opportunity to study it.
