After cultivating inside the spatial bead for several days, Lin Xiaofei felt his physical strength had increased significantly. He stood up and slowly began to circulate his energy.
A surge of power coursed through his body, converging into a single palm.
Suddenly, he aimed at the ground and swung his powerful palm out.
Bang!
The moment the palm struck the black earth, dirt flew everywhere, and an irregular mud pit, about a meter wide and a little over a meter deep, appeared on the ground.
"The power that was gathered in my palm just now has a slight dispersion; it's not concentrated enough."
Only by concentrating all power into a single palm strike, and then unleashing it, can one leave a deeper crater than this palm print. Only in this way can one truly master the method of wielding power.
Muttering to himself, Lin Xiaofei smiled slightly, quite satisfied with the increase in power.
The power of his palm strike now surpasses that of many mid-stage martial artists, and even reaches the level of late-stage martial artists.
After cultivating for a while, Lin Xiaofei stepped out of the spatial bead and looked at the little black cat eating the demon snake meat in a corner.
The little black cat only ate half of the more than 100-pound snake meat.
Lin Xiaofei originally wanted to eat some of the demon snake's meat, but when he thought about how the demon snake had eaten people when it was alive, he didn't want to eat any of it at all, so he simply left all the demon snake meat for the little black cat to eat.
Over the course of more than ten days, the little black cat changed a lot. It went from being limp and weak to liking to run around the room.
At the same time, as soon as Lin Xiaofei enters the room, the little black cat likes to circle around him and try to cling to him. It has completely regarded Lin Xiaofei as its master, which makes Lin Xiaofei very happy.
He knew that whether it was practicing martial arts or cultivating immortality, it would take a long time, and there would inevitably be boring moments. Fortunately, the little black cat's companionship gave him more fun.
At noon, Lin Xiaofei walked out of the inner disciples' residence, intending to go home and spend some time with his parents, since he would be leaving Qingshan Town in a few days.
Suddenly, a familiar face walked over, blocking Lin Xiaofei's path, and said with a smile:
"Junior Brother Lin, it's been a long time!"
"You're blocking my way, is there something you want?"
Lin Xiaofei glanced at the other person and said calmly.
“Junior Brother Lin, I heard that you dug up some herb seedlings on the back mountain of Black Wind Village, which were left over by others. I didn’t expect you to be someone who likes to collect herbs.”
Zhu San smiled and said.
"If you came to me just to say this, then don't block my way."
With that, Lin Xiaofei took a step forward, preparing to leave.
"Junior Brother Lin, don't be in such a hurry to leave."
I heard you enjoy collecting herbs, so I have some good news for you.
In a village near Xiepo Village, namely Sangye Village, one of my disciples passed through Sangye Village and found many herbs with cold and yin properties in the vicinity.
Unfortunately, that disciple was in a hurry to complete the task and only dug up a very small portion of the herbs. Now, there are still a large number of herbs left unharvested in Mulberry Leaf Village!
Seeing that Lin Xiaofei was about to leave, Zhu San quickly said something.
Upon hearing the names Xiepo Village and Sangye Village, Lin Xiaofei stopped in his tracks, startled. He turned to look at Zhu San and said calmly, "
What do you mean by telling me this?
He knew perfectly well that Zhu San was a disciple of the Left Protector Qian Ming, and that this guy was definitely up to no good by telling him all this.
"It doesn't mean anything."
With a smile, Zhu San leaned closer to Lin Xiaofei and whispered, "
Oh, and I have some news for you, Junior Brother Lin.
You must know Xu Yi, right?
Today, Xu Yi went out on a mission with a female outer disciple. They headed towards Xiepo Village. However, Xu Yi didn't know that the female outer disciple was someone I had arranged to be by his side beforehand.
I wonder if Xu Yi will come back alive from this mission?
"Xu Yi?"
Lin Xiaofei was startled, and a familiar yet unfamiliar figure immediately appeared in his mind.
Xu Yi and he grew up in the same village and played together when they were young. However, they had almost no contact since they joined the Qingfeng Gang together.
He hadn't expected Zhu San to mention this person.
"When did Xu Yi leave today?"
Lin Xiaofei said without changing his expression.
"What? Junior Brother Lin, are you going to find Xu Yi?"
Seeing that Lin Xiaofei didn't speak, Zhu San spoke again:
An hour ago, I personally witnessed him and a female disciple walking out of the Qingfeng Gang's gate together.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofei silently looked at Zhu San and then fell into deep thought.
Zhu San told him these things, which meant that Xu Yi was very likely to be harmed by that female disciple from the outer sect and lose his life. If Xu Yi did not realize that someone wanted to harm him, Xu Yi would definitely die. This made him very uncomfortable. After all, they were childhood friends who grew up in the same village, and he did not want to hear that the other party was going to die like this.
But why did Zhu San tell him all this?
He thought about it and roughly understood the reason. Someone was probably targeting him, and if he didn't go to save Xu Yi, Xu Yi would definitely die.
"Is Junior Brother Lin wondering if Xu Yi will come back alive?"
Zhu San smiled and said in a low voice:
Actually, Junior Brother Lin doesn't need to worry. I heard that Xu Yi has fallen for that female disciple. Maybe Xu Yi is quite happy to be a romantic figure. For example, he might say, "To die under a peony is to be romantic even as a ghost."
"If Junior Brother Lin wants to save Xu Yi's life, he should go and bring him back now. Perhaps he can still save Xu Yi's life."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll report this to the Enforcement Hall by telling me all this?"
Lin Xiaofei said calmly.
"What I'm saying is known only to you and me. Even if you tell the people in the Enforcement Hall, do you think they'll believe you?"
Alright, Junior Brother Lin, I'm leaving now. You can think about it on your own.
With that, Zhu San turned and left.
After glancing at Zhu San's departing figure, Lin Xiaofei muttered to himself:
There must be something fishy going on here. Once I leave town, something might be waiting for me.
After thinking it over, he realized that if he went to find Xu Yi, he might encounter Zhu San's ambush along the way, and Zhu San might even arrange for some mid-level martial artists to deal with him.
"Knowing that Xu Yi is in danger, I would feel guilty if I didn't save him. If I encounter someone blocking my way on my way to find him, I am not without the ability to fight back."
Lin Xiaofei thought to himself.
He possesses a scissor-shaped magical artifact that can summon two Qilin, enough to fight against a peak-level martial artist. Combined with his silver sword, beast-gathering bottle, and various magical techniques, he is more than capable of dealing with peak-level martial artists.
As for Zhu San's master, Qian Ming, will he assassinate him?
The chances are very small. After all, the other party is a person of high status and position, who usually disdains to do it personally and at most sends a few subordinates to assassinate him.
However, if the other party really takes action personally, he still has something he can hide in the spatial bead to save his life at any time, so there is no need to worry too much.
