Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Upon hearing Lin Xiu's words, Bai Yunshi seemed to have been prepared in advance.

This person turned the tea cup in his hand, a hint of knowingness appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Master Lin, please wait!"

He suddenly stood up, leaped out of the window, and disappeared in an alley in the blink of an eye.

Lin Xiu leaned over to take a look, and in just a few breaths, there were several screams and flashes of Law Weapon radiance coming from the alley.

Immediately, the people around the alley began to avoid the vicinity, discussing among themselves.

"The enforcers of the Hall of Stewards are enforcing the law, so all unrelated people should retreat!"

Bai Yunshi reappeared and leaped back to the second floor.

Then he casually placed an object on the table and sat down.

"So this is the trouble caused by Master Lin? It's quite simple for me!"

The object on the table turned out to be a human head!

"Master Chang!"

The head on the table obviously didn't expect to be killed, the brilliance in its eyes hadn't even dissipated, filled with astonishment and confusion.

The cultivator had obviously used a method to stop the severed blood vessels, preventing blood from flowing onto the table.

Everyone on the second floor suddenly stood up, stunned for a moment, and then with a "boom," they all ran away.

No one dared to say a word throughout the whole process.

The Hall of Stewards had accumulated power for nearly a hundred years, and their actions of killing cultivators had reached an audacious level.

Lin Xiu touched his nose.

"Elder, openly killing someone on the street, aren't you afraid..."

Bai Yunshi flicked his sleeve and sat down, coldly snorting.

"Master Lin, you probably don't know. This person seeks revenge for the smallest grievance. He has long been colluding with the people of the Thousand Calamities Sect. The plan was to kill you on the day of rent collection, which is today."

Lin Xiu was shocked, it seemed that Bai Yunshi had already set his sights on him, and even investigated his enemies clearly. His thoughts were truly meticulous.

"However, this person is a high-level talisman master and has a waist token for the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion. Elder..."

Bai Yunshi laughed.

"The qualification for the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion is nothing more than a scare tactic. They are not even honored guests, just trying to intimidate the Independent Cultivators. In the eyes of the Hall of Stewards, they are nothing. Moreover, besides you, he has offended many people. Collaborating with the Thousand Calamities Sect this year, he has done many unspeakable things. Today was just a convenient opportunity!"

Lin Xiu suddenly realized that this convenient opportunity was too convenient.

He deliberately made an appointment with him, and then killed this person right in front of him, easily fulfilling a favor.

He had indeed wanted to use Bai Yunshi's hand to solve this trouble, but at most, he only wanted him to warn the person. He didn't expect this person to act decisively and directly kill him.

Sighing, "It's a pity, one less high-level talisman master under the Qian Jue Peak."

Bai Yunshi sneered, "Such scum has long been noticed by the Hall of Stewards. It's not worth regretting! Besides, he also had designs on Fellow Daoist Chu, so his death was only a matter of time."

What?

Designs on Fellow Daoist Chu?

Among the people he knew, there was only the manager of the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion, the beautiful woman Chuchun, whose cultivation level he didn't even know.

"This guy's mind is truly different. He dares to have thoughts about her with just the sixth level of Qi Refining. It seems like he really wants to die!"

Lin Xiu stood up and bowed.

"In that case, the previous agreement takes effect immediately!"

"Haha, Master Lin is wise. I will pay special attention to your family's situation!"

The two of them chatted for a while about the situation in that secret realm, exchanged contact tokens, and bid farewell to each other.

Watching Bai Yunshi casually carry Master Chang's head and walk towards the Hall of Stewards, Lin Xiu touched his chin.

"It seems that this person had a long-standing grudge with Master Chang, most likely related to talismans. I am just a substitute."

When he returned home, he thought for a long time. Even though he acted with absolute caution, he still couldn't avoid trouble.

Although Bai Yunshi had impure motives, he had also brought a sense of security.

"Perhaps I should find some backup plans to leave this place. In case something happens to the flying boat, I won't be in a panic. This person is a Foundation Building steward of the Hall of Stewards, so he can be useful. Let him take advantage of it!"

At this moment, a sound transmission talisman in his storage bag vibrated. It was an invitation from Ge Chun to visit him.

After looking up at the midday sun, he agreed.

There were indeed some things that he needed to discuss with this otaku.

"Xue'er, Wen'er, I'm going to visit a friend. Behave at home and get ready for a surprise tonight!"

"Annoying!"

"Wen'er, I'm waiting for you!"

The wives on the second floor laughed together, and Lin Xiu left home amidst their laughter.

It was relatively safe in broad daylight, but he still waited for the patrol team to pass by his door before leaving the defensive formation and following them to Ge Chun's small courtyard.

Although this courtyard was a standalone one, it was only slightly better than the house by the Pan Chang River.

There is no spiritual spring pond in the courtyard, and the two-story small building is also shorter than him.

Even so, it is much safer than the Independent Cultivator slum area. Ge Chun hasn't closed his mouth since Lin Xiu entered the door, and his back teeth are clearly visible.

A pot of good wine, a few dishes.

Lin Xiu took out five "Mysterious Ice Shields" and handed them over.

"Old Ge, I don't have any valuable items, so consider this a housewarming gift."

"No need to be polite."

Ge Chun smiled and put it away, then handed him a jade bottle.

"This is the 'Joyful Beauty Pill' refined by my family's unique formula. It can nourish and beautify the skin. Although it is not as rare as the 'Youthful Beauty Pill', it can still delay the aging of women. Consider it a gift for the two younger sisters!"

Lin Xiu played with the medicine and casually asked, "Old Ge, can alchemists make pills that martial artists can use?"

Ge Chun was taken aback, "Bone Cleansing Pill, it can open up the meridians and strengthen the bones."

Seeing Lin Xiu's silence, he immediately realized, "You want to give it to your younger sister? That won't work. She is already at the Grandmaster realm, and her bones and skin have reached the Dust-free realm. This thing is already ineffective!"

Lin Xiu became anxious, "Is there really nothing else?"

Ge Chun frowned, "There is, but it requires using the inner core of a demonic beast to refine. Although the refining process is not difficult, the cost is too high, and your sister's cultivation level is not there yet. If she takes it, she might have problems."

Lin Xiu sighed and looked disappointed.

Demonic beasts with inner cores are at least at the Foundation Building stage. If you let someone at the Grandmaster realm consume such a thing, they would probably explode on the spot.

"Do we have to wait for a second-tier talisman master to refine the 'Gathering Yuan Talisman'?"

His two wives are most worried about Li Yingxue, after all, she was just an ordinary person before she entered the Innate Qi.

If one day there is an unpredictable danger, Li Yingxue would be the most vulnerable.

After all, even self-preservation is a big problem for him at his current level of ability.

He sighed and clinked glasses with Ge Chun again.

Ge Chun comforted him, "Don't worry, there are thousands of pill formulas in the world. Although alchemists don't focus on refining pills for martial arts, there are always people who will explore it. I will study it and let you know when I have results."

Lin Xiu nodded and then solemnly said, "Have you considered leaving here?"

Although there is no one in the courtyard, there is still a large array in the yard. But Ge Chun still looked around and gestured with his fingers.

"It's already enough. But I plan to stay for another year before considering leaving."

Alchemists do indeed have a promising future compared to talisman masters!

Lin Xiu secretly envied him and asked, "Why didn't you leave earlier? Something unexpected could happen here at any time!"

Ge Chun fell silent for a moment, "For the spirit stones!"

"Are spirit stones more important than life?"

Ge Chun took a sip of wine.

"I am different from you. You are a discarded pawn used by your family to exchange benefits, while I came here voluntarily because my family is too weak. I don't even know if it has been annexed or destroyed."

The expansion of Qianjue Peak's spirit stones, although things are not cheap, once you take these spirit stones outside the mountain range, your purchasing power will increase several times.

The situation is very similar to earning a salary in Europe and America but spending it in Africa.

Lin Xiu looked at him for a long time.

This is a pitiful person burdened with the fate of his family. He didn't know whether to admire him or feel sorry for him.

Finally, he sighed and said, "To be honest, it seems that Purple Cloud Sect is brewing a major conspiracy. When the time comes, I'm afraid not many people will be able to get out. It's better to leave early if you can!"

After speaking, he finished the wine in his cup, got up and bid farewell.

When he returned home, he couldn't help but send a message to Ji Ning, but he didn't receive a reply for a long time, and his mood seemed to worsen.

"Husband, come up quickly!"

After Lin Xiu finished making three hours of talismans and was drinking tea in the hall, the voices of his wives came from below.

He got up and went upstairs, only to find that the quiet room was filled with steam.

In the huge wooden bathtub, the two women were leaning on the edge of the tub, revealing their smooth shoulders and smiling at him. Instantly, all his worries were forgotten.

He rubbed his hands and approached step by step with a mischievous smile.

"Playing with dragons and phoenixes, it has indeed been a long time,"

For a while, the quiet room was filled with waves, and water splashed onto the ceiling.

After just two rounds, most of the water in the bathtub had disappeared, almost soaking the floor, and trickled down the stairs to the first floor.

Lin Xiu lay in the bathtub, holding his wives, and said softly, "Thank you!"

He came back with a heavy heart, and Li Yingxue and Qin Yawen didn't know the reason, so they could only comfort their husband in this most primitive way.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Late at night, when Lin Xiu finished the predetermined number of talismans for the day and was drinking tea to nurture his spirit, the defensive array fluctuated, and a stumbling figure finally appeared.
