However, seeing the old man surnamed Wei approaching, Lin Xiuyuan said coldly, "Senior Wei, there's no need to get so close. It makes me uneasy. If I'm startled, I won't be able to control my divine sense. Just hand over the 'Netherworld Orchid' to me!"
"Oh, and please also hand over the concealment techniques you used along the way."
Seeing that the time was right, Lin Xiuyuan added another condition. He was very envious of this method of concealment, as it was extremely ingenious and practical, whether traveling in the wild or escaping for one's life.
This is also one of his weaknesses. The Wood Concealment Technique is too restrictive, only useful in the mountains and forests, and easily targeted. As long as his spiritual sense is attacked, it is enough to interrupt the use of the escape technique.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Xiuyuan immediately put Wei Xian in his place.
Upon hearing this, the old man surnamed Wei was furious, but time was of the essence, and he had no time to think it over.
Lin Xiuyuan pressed the issue further, saying directly, "I'll only count to three... By the way, if I have any doubts after checking, I will kill him anyway. Please, Senior Wei, don't try to deceive me!"
The old man surnamed Wei's face darkened, his heart filled with anger and boundless hatred. But since things had come to this point, he dared not delay. He took out a jade slip from his Qiankun bag and threw it out along with the jade box.
A hint of excitement flashed in Lin Xiuyuan's eyes, and he immediately caught the jade box and jade slip and put them into his Qiankun bag.
A surge of intense excitement welled up within him. With the Netherworld Orchid in hand, he could be assured of obtaining high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, and perhaps even more! Moreover, he had an additional great gain to his name.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, stop! Let's talk. Whatever Chen Xue promised you, I can give you even more. Just tell me what kind of guarantee you want."
Upon seeing this, Chen Shaorong became anxious.
He originally thought that the woman surnamed Liu, dressed in palace attire, could suppress Lin Xiuyuan immediately, or force him to fight to the death and kill Wei Maoxue, then all the problems would be solved.
But I never expected things to develop this way!
Lin Xiuyuan suppressed his excitement, glanced at Chen Shaorong indifferently, and said, "Senior Wei, just help me hold off Chen Shaorong for a bit."
He remained unmoved by Chen Shaorong's words.
If Chen Shaorong had said those words earlier, perhaps we could have had a proper discussion.
But now that they've taken action and successfully seized the Netherworld Orchid, Lin Xiuyuan is left with only one choice.
He turned to look at Chen Xue and said calmly, "Can you walk?"
"Okay, sure!"
Chen Xue struggled to her feet with an excited expression. After a while, although she couldn't heal her injuries, she was at least able to move around with difficulty.
At this moment, she looked at Lin Xiuyuan with shining eyes, her heart filled with excitement and joy that was almost indescribable.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiuyuan was able to turn the tide, find an opportunity in such a desperate situation, and seize the Netherworld Orchid in one fell swoop.
This series of events is truly unbelievable; it's simply incredible!
Chen Xue was overjoyed and felt incredibly excited. She felt that spending several days searching for Lin Xiuyuan to join her was the wisest decision she had ever made!
