Chapter 209: Your Malice Is of No Consequence, Just a Matter of One Sword
Luo Xue chuckled and said, “This woman is quite smart. Give her a Green Spirit Pill, let her go, and let her spread the word for you. That wouldn’t be bad.”
Lin Fengmian nodded, looking at the slightly dirty but mature and gentle face, and smiled faintly.
“Immortal Lady, you are as beautiful as I imagined.”
He tossed a stream of light toward Zuo Yueting and smiled, “This Green Spirit Pill is for you. You can go now.”
Zuo Yueting was surprised to receive the precious pill and bowed respectfully with genuine gratitude.
“Thank you, young master. Your virtue of repaying evil with kindness will never be forgotten.”
Lin Fengmian nodded and calmly said, “Hurry up, otherwise I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave.”
Zuo Yueting swallowed the Green Spirit Pill without hesitation, fearing that she might not survive if she didn’t take it. She knew it was unwise to linger, so she transformed into a shadow and flew away swiftly.
Lin Fengmian turned around confidently and looked down at Elder Huang and the other three without a hint of fear.
“Do you want to be my enemies or my friends?”
Jun Yunshang replied straightforwardly, “Young master, don’t worry. We have no ill intentions.”
Lin Fengmian casually sheathed his sword, gracefully landed in the temple, and nonchalantly took out a Spirit Gathering Pill to consume, exuding an air of supreme ease.
“Your malice is of no consequence, just a matter of a sword.”
Guan Ming and Ye Ling were thoroughly enraged by his attitude of looking down on them, wishing they could hit him with a couple of swords.
But after a moment’s thought, they realized that they couldn’t beat him, and they felt utterly frustrated.
However, Elder Huang was not bothered at all. Instead, he found Lin Fengmian’s actions to be exceptionally admirable.
Geniuses, after all, are allowed to have a bit of arrogance. If he had such talent when he was young, he would have been even more arrogant.
He laughed heartily, “Young friend, you are truly carefree and unrestrained. This old man admires you.”
Lin Fengmian stepped into the temple, looked at the few people with curiosity, and calmly asked, “You all followed me here, surely for a reason. If you have something to say, speak up.”
Jun Yunshang smiled and said, “We were hoping to buy some more Green Spirit Pills from you, sir. Would that be convenient for you?”
Lin Fengmian asked Luo Xue and learned that she still had quite a few Green Spirit Pills, so he wasn’t too concerned.
He took one out and tossed it over, casually saying, “This Green Spirit Pill is to thank Elder Huang for his assistance just now.”
Elder Huang didn’t expect him to be so generous and was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and said, “This old one will shamelessly accept it with gratitude.”
Lin Fengmian didn’t care and said indifferently, “It’s just something I picked up by accident. If there’s nothing else, shall we say goodbye?”
“Please wait, young friend. I have a question to ask you.”
Seeing Lin Fengmian look at him, Elder Huang asked with a burning gaze, “May I ask, young friend, is it true that you have been practicing the Dao for less than a few days?”
Noticing that the other few people were also looking at him curiously, their eyes fixed on him, waiting for his answer, Lin Fengmian felt a surge of joy in his heart, but still put on a sad face, took out his wine bottle, and took a sip.
He sighed, “If I had such a cultivation a few days ago, would I have allowed others to slaughter the people of Kang City?”
His expression was a mixture of pain and anger, with a touch of self-reproach and various complex emotions.
This made Jun Yunshang and the others feel guilty and unsure of how to face him.
Lin Fengmian looked at them indifferently and said, “Is there anything else you want to ask, Elder Huang?”
Elder Huang was taken aback, glanced at Jun Yunshang, and said with a kind smile, “Young friend, you are truly a remarkable talent, a dragon among men, worthy of admiration.”
Then he sighed deeply and said, “However, the path of cultivation does not depend on talent alone. The four essentials-Dharma, wealth, companions, and location-are all indispensable.”
“Young Friend, your progress has been like a landslide, but you may find it difficult to sustain it in the future. Both elixirs and honored positions will become your limitations.”
Lin Fengmian laughed in disbelief and asked, “What advice do you have for me, Elder?”
Elder Huang said tentatively, “Young Friend , you should now understand how difficult it is to obtain elixirs for breakthroughs.”
“With your extraordinary talent, it would be a waste to use ordinary elixirs for breakthroughs.”
Of course, Lin Fengmian knew what he was trying to do, but he didn’t bite, instead replying with a pompous air, “Elder, you are overthinking. I have been blessed with good fortune lately, and when I need something, it comes to me”.
“Whenever I need it, I will have a fortuitous encounter, like the Foundation Establishment Realm elixirs you all gave me, or the unexpected Core Formation Realm elixir I obtained.”
“In addition, this miraculous healing medicine, the Green Spirit Pills, and the top-tier Soul Separation Pill will be delivered to me whenever I want them.”
Upon hearing these shocking words, Jun Yunshang and the others were left speechless, their faces a mixture of disbelief and confusion. They exchanged glances, unable to find an answer.
However, after some thought, they realized that this guy was actually telling the truth, and they were at a loss for words.
Jun Yunshang even began to wonder if there really were such things as Chosen Ones in this world.
Only Ye Ling said with a scathing tone, “You are so full of yourself, beyond redemption. Why don’t you just ascend right now?”
Lin Fengmian replied with a serious expression, “Perhaps it’s because I haven’t avenged the people of Kang City yet, and my resolve isn’t complete yet.”
“I have a feeling that once I stand at the peak of this world and fulfill my long-held wish, it will be time for me to leave this realm.”
He was laying the groundwork for his future departure, as a genius who suddenly disappeared would certainly invite scrutiny.
This identity of Ye Xuefeng was one that Luo Xue didn’t want to claim, so he had to resort to this desperate measure.
Upon hearing this, Guan Ming looked displeased and sneered, “Hmph, self-important and utter nonsense!”
He had always been diligent and hard-working, a person who believed in making up for his shortcomings through hard work.
He never believed in geniuses, only in the idea that human will could conquer all.
Lin Fengmian’s personality was like his nemesis, constantly undermining his philosophy of life.
“I am just expressing my feelings. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do. Why don’t you wait and see?”
Lin Fengmian’s attitude, as if he found it pointless to explain further to these mediocre people, made Luo Xue find him extremely detestable.
Ye Ling thought that although Ye Xuefeng had great talent, his arrogance knew no bounds.
She suspected that he must have been going through some trauma, affecting his mental state.
Only Jun Yunshang felt a twinge of guilt, looking at Lin Fengmian with a sad expression, as if it was all her fault.
Not understanding her expression, Lin Fengmian found it unsettling and felt a surge of annoyance.
Why are you looking at me with that sympathetic face?
Do you think I’m crazy?
Unable to bear her gaze and having no interest in serving her, he was about to make a quick exit.
But at that moment, Elder Huang said with a peculiar expression, “Young Friend, your foresight is truly divine, as if guided by the heavens! I am in awe!”
Even Lin Fengmian was taken aback, thinking, “Old man, I dared to say it, but you actually believe it?”
The other three in the temple looked at Elder Huang in confusion, unable to follow his logic.
However, Elder Huang smiled warmly, his wrinkles creasing into a fox-like grin.
“Young friend, you already possess the top-grade Soul Separation Pill. If what you say is true, you will soon reach the same realm as me.”
“At that time, you will need the top-grade Spirit Fusion Pill. It may not be much, but I happen to have one in my possession!”
