“What you said makes sense. If Lin Xiaofei were a disciple of a major sect, he would only stay in Qingquan County for a day or two before leaving, instead of staying in a cultivation family.”
But he's in Qingquan County, how can we go and kill him?
The black-robed cultivator nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
Qingquan County is under the jurisdiction of Qingyun Sect, and is also guarded by Golden Core cultivators from Qingyun Sect. Moreover, Qingquan County is equipped with a high-grade third-rank Qiankun Grand Array, which can resist attacks from Nascent Soul cultivators.
Although he believed he could kill the Chen family cultivators and Lin Xiaofei within Qingquan County, it would easily attract the attention of the Qingyun Sect disciples, which would be troublesome.
Therefore, this made him somewhat worried.
"After making some inquiries about Lin Xiaofei, and also at an auction, I learned that Lin Xiaofei is particularly interested in second-grade spiritual herbs."
Moreover, a caravan from the Chen family traveled to various small counties to collect second-grade spiritual herbs, supposedly for Lin Xiaofei.
I have now robbed this caravan and obtained more than three thousand second-grade spiritual herbs. I have also told the caravan members that if they want these second-grade spiritual herbs back, they should have Lin Xiaofei come to me outside Red Forest City.
Three days have passed since then, and the caravan should have returned to the Chen family by now.
As long as Lin Xiaofei hears that I robbed his second-grade spiritual herb, he will probably come looking for me, leave Qingquan County, and come to the vicinity of Honglin City.
"With the strength of the few of us, killing him will be a piece of cake, won't it?"
Jin Shuiren said.
"Killing him is indeed easy, but are you sure he would come looking for you for a second-grade spiritual herb?"
The black-robed cultivator said calmly.
"You may not know this, but at the last auction in Qingquan County, every second-grade spiritual herb that appeared was bought by Lin Xiaofei."
It's easy to imagine that a second-grade spiritual herb must be very important to Lin Xiaofei.
Otherwise, why would he have bought all the second-grade spiritual herbs at such a high price at the auction, and why would the Chen family have sent a caravan to various small counties to purchase second-grade spiritual herbs?
Therefore, I was certain that Lin Xiaofei would come looking for me.
"When the time comes, I hope you'll bring your men and join the attack. That way, we can avoid any accidents and prevent him from escaping. What do you say?"
Master Jinshui rolled his eyes and said.
"Don't worry, if Lin Xiaofei dares to come, he will die."
The black-robed cultivator said with a wicked smile.
As Lin Xiaofei walked out of the compound, he saw Chen Shanren and Chen Dacai talking in the distance, seemingly in a bit of a hurry, so he slowly walked over.
"Senior Divine Herb, you have emerged from seclusion."
"Master, weren't you in seclusion cultivating the Demon Blood Divine Sword? Why did you come out of seclusion so soon?"
Seeing Lin Xiaofei approaching, Chen Shanren and Chen Dacai quickly stepped forward and spoke in turn.
Lin Xiaofei smiled and said,
I've already used up all the essence blood of the third-tier demon beasts I used to cultivate the Demon Blood Divine Sword, so I'm not planning to continue my seclusion and am going out for a walk.
"Fifty drops of third-tier demonic beast blood essence, all absorbed?"
Chen Dacai was startled and felt a little surprised.
As far as he knew, fifty drops of third-tier demon beast essence blood would take at least seven days to cultivate the Demon Blood Divine Sword, but the other party used it all up in just three days.
This made him realize that Lin Xiaofei's cultivation speed was too fast.
“We cultivators emphasize a balance of relaxation and tension in our cultivation. Senior Divine Herb has been cultivating all this time, so it’s really time for you to go out and take a walk.”
After a moment's hesitation, Chen Shanren said,
Senior Divine Herb, if you hadn't emerged from seclusion, I wouldn't have planned to tell you.
But now that you're out, I feel it might be inappropriate not to tell you.
"What's up?"
Lin Xiaofei asked curiously.
“A month ago, I promised my senior something: to send a caravan to collect second-grade spiritual herbs in various counties. They would return once they collected three thousand second-grade spiritual herbs.”
Unexpectedly, just half an hour earlier, the caravan members had all returned injured, and the second-grade spiritual herbs they had collected had been robbed.
I originally wanted to tell you about this, but you are in seclusion and cultivating, and I don't know when you will come out.
Therefore, I thought of sending another caravan to collect second-grade spiritual herbs again.
Now that you have emerged from seclusion, Senior, I am informing you of this news. I hope you will not blame us for our incompetence. Tomorrow I will arrange a new caravan to purchase second-grade spiritual herbs.”
Chen Shanren said with an embarrassed expression.
"Who stole my grade-two spiritual herb?"
Lin Xiaofei asked softly.
"According to my people, it was Jin Shuiren. Moreover, after Jin Shuiren robbed three thousand second-grade spiritual herbs, he also said that if you want to take back those second-grade spiritual herbs, you have to go to the vicinity of Honglin City to find him."
Otherwise, these three thousand second-grade spiritual herbs will serve as a debt of revenge for killing his brother.
Then, Chen Shanren spoke again:
Senior Divine Herb, although Jin Shuiren is also a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, his strength is greater than that of Jin Shuiwu. I suggest you ignore him.
"Once your strength increases further, senior, you won't need to fear him when you go to find him."
"Afraid of him?"
Patriarch Chen, you may not know me. Although my cultivation level is not as high as that guy's, my strength is not necessarily inferior to his. Why would I be afraid of him?
Also, don't send anyone to collect second-grade spiritual herbs again.
He dared to touch my things, and now he wants me to come to him? Fine, so be it.
"Perfect timing. I was planning to go to Red Forest City to buy some third-tier demonic beast blood essence, and while I'm there, I'll also visit him."
Lin Xiaofei shrugged, then looked at Chen Dacai beside him and said, "
"Da Cai, I'm not familiar with the route to Red Forest City. Could you come with me and tell me about it so I can understand it better? What do you say?"
"Yes, Master."
Chen Dacai responded and said,
Honglin City is one of the major cities under my Qingyun Sect. Moreover, disciples from other sects in the Honglin Mountains also frequently visit Honglin City.
Within Red Forest City, there are shops opened by various sects, as well as countless cultivators.
"Master, the third-tier demon beast essence blood you wish to purchase, I estimate, is only available at the Beast Devouring Sect branch. Other shops will likely have difficulty supplying it."
With that, Chen Dacai and Lin Xiaofei walked out of the Chen family home and flew towards the outskirts of Qingquan County.
Fifty miles outside Honglin City, five cultivators were hidden in a dense forest on one side of the road.
Of these five cultivators, one was Jin Shuiren, and the other four included one early-stage Golden Core cultivator, two mid-stage Golden Core cultivators, and one late-stage Golden Core cultivator.
"Master Jinshui, three days have passed, why hasn't Master Shencao arrived yet?"
"It's a black-robed cultivator," Wang Xuan said in a deep voice.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, don't be anxious. Let's hide in this forest and wait for him for seven or eight days."
That Divine Herb Master is only a Golden Core stage cultivator; his travel speed is probably not fast.
Jin Shuiren responded.
