"Bang! Bang!"

A muffled thud came from both of them at the same time.

After mastering the bloodline of the Immovable King, Lin Jinglong's strength improved again. Although he did not reach the peak of the ninth rank, he relied on the various immortal techniques he had mastered.

To him, martial artists of the same realm are nothing but chickens and dogs!

No matter how many there are, it's all meaningless!

The two worshippers had their hearts pierced, leaving large black ash holes. After being sent flying backward, the swords in their hands were also knocked away and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Everyone remained silent.

They stared in utter horror at Lin Jinglong, who killed without blinking an eye.

Yang Xinhu's expression was stiff.

He twitched the corner of his mouth and took the initiative to raise his hand to applaud.

"As expected of the champion of the Kyoto Martial Arts Tournament, Mr. Lin's methods still impress me. However, you have killed three ninth-level members of the Tantai family. I'm afraid this will make them retaliate against you at all costs, right?"

"Has Emperor Yang Wu never heard a single sentence?"

Lin Jinglong turned around and glanced back.

"The more debts I have, the more burdened I am. If I don't kill these three, do you think the Tantai family will let me off the hook?"

"You... what you said makes sense."

Yang Xinhu was completely convinced.

Ninth-level Martial Emperors are extremely rare. Logically speaking, even if they fight each other, they wouldn't go so far as to kill each other. After all, if Martial Emperors of the same realm want to kill each other, they often have to pay a heavy price themselves.

Lin Jinglong, however, was completely unrestrained!

"This person cannot be regarded as a Martial Emperor; he can even be considered equivalent to a Vajra Martial Emperor. Although his realm is not as high, he should not be underestimated due to his superior martial arts foundation!"

Yang Xinhu's original intention was to test Lin Jinglong.

Let's see his true methods.

Only then did he realize that even though he had already taken Lin Jinglong seriously enough, he had still underestimated him!

In terms of both strength and temperament, he is a Martial Emperor!

He suddenly smiled faintly, took out a jade box from his pocket, and there was even a hint of ingratiation in his smile.

"Everyone, this Spirit Essence Pill is something I obtained from an ancient ruin. After taking it, it has a great effect on nourishing the spirit. It is the only Grade 8 pill I have."

"Although it is not of high value, based on the qualities Mr. Lin has just demonstrated, I think this precious pill should be his prize."

"But everyone can rest assured, I still have over a hundred Grade 7 Spirit Essence Pills on hand, and each of the selected representatives will receive one!"

The crowd erupted in another uproar.

Black Moon appeared beside Lin Jinglong.

She said in a low voice, "This Spirit Essence Pill is a specialty of the Yang family in the Southern Frontier. It has unique effects on martial artists who cultivate the path of the soul, and its enhancement effect is enormous."

"It is said that Yang Xinwu is a Vajra Martial Emperor because he mastered the method of making the Spirit Essence Pill, and his spiritual strength is comparable to that of a Celestial Martial Emperor!"

Lin Jinglong's eyes widened upon hearing this.

"Didn't he say it was obtained from ruins?"

"The precious pill may have been obtained from the ruins, but he definitely mastered the refining method, because over the years, he has given away more than five hundred pills of the seventh rank or above."

Even Lin Jinglong was somewhat taken aback.

Although hundreds or thousands of precious pills are nothing to him now, after all, he possesses the two great cave heavens of Heavenly Silkworm and Pure Void, and the resources he controls are as rich as a country.

However, refining so many precious pills took him quite a bit of time, which shows that Yang Xinhu's foundation is truly profound.

Just as he was secretly communicating with Black Moon.

Yang Xinhu had already tossed the remaining box over.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation, Mr. Lin. Please accept it with a smile."

"No problem, no problem."

You can't hit someone who's smiling. Although Lin Jinglong thought Yang Xinhu was obviously a cunning old fox, his attempt to keep a low profile had already been exposed.

First, the Tantai family came to cause trouble.

Whose house will be next?

Especially when he thought of the young man who left the villa before, Lin Jinglong would never dare to underestimate Yang Xinhu.

He weighed the jade box in his hand, still wary.

For a period of time afterward, Lin Jinglong and the two women beside him were busy socializing with various factions present.

It was only then that Lin Jinglong realized it.

In fact, not every force came for the spiritual vein. Perhaps they knew that the foundation of the forces was not deep enough, or they realized that there were dangers hidden behind the Holy Realm.

They attended the dinner simply to make friends and expand their business opportunities.

It wasn't until after the banquet ended that Yang Xinhu announced the list of the top 100. To Lin Jinglong's surprise, more than 80 of them were forces from outside the Southern Frontier.

"This is also to promote exchanges between southern Xinjiang and the outside world. If we always think about keeping the benefits within our own borders, then in the future, we people from southern Xinjiang will probably find it difficult to move around when we go outside."

Yang Xinhu explained it this way.

Furthermore, each of these hundred factions received a seventh-grade spiritual essence pill, which Yang Xinhu specially gifted to their representatives, some of whom consumed the pills on the spot.

After that, some strange things happened to each of them. Some of them had their spiritual strength greatly enhanced, their eyes shone with spiritual light, and they looked otherworldly.

Some people even broke through their cultivation level on the spot.

At night, Lin Jinglong, Hei Yue, and Situ Xue came out of their respective rooms in a small villa inside the manor. Lin Jinglong had an eighth-grade treasure pill, and Hei Yue also had a seventh-grade one.

Situ Xue pouted.

"That Yang Xinhu really knows how to treat people differently. Just because my cultivation level is low, he looks down on me. You two got some, but I didn't get any precious pills!"

Lin Jinglong and his companion placed the jade box on the coffee table.

He took out several talismans from his sleeve and casually tossed them around the room, obscuring the secrets of heaven both inside and outside.

"Heh, you really think this precious pill is a good thing?"

Lin Jinglong gave Situ Xue a hint.

His words made Situ Xue's expression tighten.

"Is there something wrong with this pill?"

Her words were filled with shock.

Hei Yue placed the pill on the table, shook her head, and said, "I don't see anything wrong with this pill. Didn't everyone who took the pill at the banquet receive the effect of nourishing their souls, and some even broke through their cultivation levels?"

"No!"

Lin Jinglong shook his head.

He picked up the eighth-grade pill and examined it carefully.

"The pills are effective, but it's not that simple. Have you ever seen people who have taken the Spirit Essence Pill before? What was their final state?"

"this……"

Hei Yue had only been in the Southern Frontier for a year and had never dealt with the Yang family's forces before, so he was now in a state of confusion.

Situ Xue casually said, "I think there's nothing wrong with this pill. Our Dark Star Auction House has even sold a few Spirit Essence Pills before, and the people who took them didn't experience any abnormalities other than receiving nourishment."

"What if that's just a cover-up?" Lin Jinglong looked thoughtful. "Out of a hundred precious pills, ninety are fine, but if ten are problematic, that's a big problem!"
