At the same time, a message spread throughout the Jinling Martial Arts Association in an instant.
In the city center, atop a building hundreds of meters high, several figures sat around a sofa.
Suddenly, a martial artist rushed in from outside the door in a panic.
"Something terrible has happened, President!"
With a thud, the man knelt on one knee, his expression one of fear.
Upon seeing this, the old man beside him immediately rebuked, "You scoundrel, can't you see that Chairman Feng is discussing business?"
Why are you in such a panic?
Feng Yuchun frowned as well: "What is it? Speak!"
"President...President, Elder Huo has been murdered!"
What?
Boom! Everyone present felt as if they had been struck by lightning.
The entire office was deathly silent!
"You're talking nonsense!"
"I saw Elder Huo leave the Martial Arts Association safely this morning, how could something have happened to him?" The old man picked up the young man from the ground.
"Elder Huo's cultivation has reached the Grandmaster realm. No one in the entire Jiangnan Province can kill him!"
The others all wore expressions of disbelief.
Clearly, no one would believe that Huo Yuanshan was dead!
"It's absolutely true! I saw with my own eyes that kid used some incredible skill to crush Old Master Huo to death!"
The young man then told Feng Yuchun everything that had happened to the Qian family.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, their expressions blank.
Feng Yuchun frowned deeply, clearly not expecting things to develop this way.
"Hmph, this Lin Jinglong is simply audacious!"
"He actually dared to kill the vice president of my Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association!"
"Damn it, is he tired of living?"
Huo Yuanshan had been in this position for more than a decade, and many people in the Martial Arts Association had a deep relationship with him.
Upon hearing that Huo Yuanshan had been killed by Lin Jinglong, they were all shocked and furious.
"This kid killed Elder Huo; he's practically slapped our Martial Arts Association in the face!"
"President Feng, I beg you to go there immediately and execute this boy on the spot!"
Several veteran members of the Martial Arts Association bowed to Feng Yuchun.
Four of them were supervisors, and the other six were the heads of the Martial Arts Association.
Feng Yuchun remained silent for a moment, then a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"This kid's strength has truly exceeded my expectations!"
"His ability to kill Elder Huo proves that his strength surpasses Elder Huo's!"
"Pass on my order: give Old Master Huo's family 50 million, and make sure his family is appeased!"
Feng Yuchun's words startled those around him; they didn't understand what he meant.
Now that the vice president of the Martial Arts Association has been killed, how can President Feng remain so calm?
"President Feng, what's wrong...?"
"Heh! With such strength, this kid should be recruited into the Martial Arts Association!"
"Have Wei Qingfeng personally go to the Qian family to recruit Lin Jinglong!"
Huo Yuanshan died because of his incompetence!
Trading Huo Yuanshan for Lin Jinglong is a sure-fire way to make money.
Feng Yuchun was certainly not angry; on the contrary, he was quite pleased.
......
Soon, Wei Qingfeng, who was just about to head to the capital, received a message.
"What?"
"Grass!"
"This kid... killed Old Master Huo?"
Wei Qingfeng was completely dumbfounded; he never imagined that Lin Jinglong could kill Huo Yuanshan.
What's even more unexpected is that Feng Yuchun wasn't angry at all, even though Huo Yuanshan was the vice president of the Martial Arts Association.
A mere kid easily crushed the vice president of the Martial Arts Association.
If this gets out, the reputation of their Martial Arts Association will be greatly affected.
However, Wei Qingfeng quickly understood.
Lin Jinglong's value is far greater than that of Huo Yuanshan.
He immediately ordered the driver to turn the car around and rush to the Qian family's house.
......
On the other side, Lin Jinglong originally wanted to leave Jinling, but Qian Zhongliang insisted that he have a meal before leaving.
After declining several times, Lin Jinglong felt embarrassed to refuse again, so he agreed.
So the group went to the Huading Hotel for dinner.
This hotel is also owned by the Qian family, and it is located not far from a bustling commercial center.
As Lin Jinglong got out of the car, his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the crowd in the distance.
A few hundred meters away, a quaint old building was surrounded by a dense crowd of people.
"What are these people doing?" Lin Jinglong frowned.
"Oh, Mr. Lin, you don't know this, that's Gu Wenxuan!"
"Guwenxuan is the largest antique and auction market in Jinling City. You can buy and sell anything there!"
"If there's anything good, I'll sell it. If I have a good eye, I might even find a bargain!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong was slightly taken aback, but soon a smile appeared on his lips.
"Does this place sell alchemy furnaces?"
"What?" Upon hearing Lin Jinglong's words, Qian Zhongliang, who was standing next to him, was stunned.
Qian Shuyun was also completely dumbfounded!
Alchemy furnace? Isn't that something that only exists in TV dramas?
"It's for alchemy! An alchemy furnace!"
Before he went down the mountain, the old man gave him a lot of pills, but these were all consumables.
He's only used a few pills left in this period!
If he were on the mountain, he could use the old man's purple clay furnace to refine a few pills for later use.
But now, he doesn't have a pill-refining furnace, so even if he wanted to refine pills, he couldn't.
