Having successfully purchased the Mystic Wood Magic Technique he desired, Lin Xiaofei lost interest in the remaining treasures up for auction and walked with Chen Shanren towards the auction house's exit.
"This jade slip is quite good."
Lin Xiaofei held a jade slip in his hand, which was only the size of a palm and was white in color. Both sides of the jade slip were engraved with intricate array patterns, which was clearly the work of an array master.
He released a wisp of divine power, which penetrated into the jade slip.
In an instant, Lin Xiaofei gradually skimmed through some of the text of the Third-Grade Profound Wood Mystic Technique. A slight smile appeared on Lin Xiaofei's lips as he thought to himself, "..."
This profound wood technique is indeed a wood-attribute immortal technique, and its cultivation method is not difficult.
"Senior Shencao, we're being followed, and the person following us is Jin Shuiren's younger brother. What should we do?"
Suddenly, Chen Shanren, who was standing nearby, approached Lin Xiaofei and whispered something.
Lin Xiaofei, who was browsing the Mysterious Wood Technique, stopped and turned his head to look around. He saw a purple-robed late-stage Golden Core cultivator staring at them and walking towards them step by step.
"I thought it was a disciple of some powerful force vying with us for a third-grade immortal technique, but who would have thought it was just the head of a small cultivation family, the Chen family, and a young cultivator in the early Golden Core stage."
It seems I can kill both of them by myself and thus obtain the third-grade Xuanmu Mystic Technique.
However, now that they've discovered I'm following them, and in this Qingquan County, I can't openly kill them.
Otherwise, it would attract the attention of the Qingyun Sect, which would be bad.
Jin Shuiwu looked at Lin Xiaofei and Chen Shanren, thinking to himself, and then thought to himself:
Regardless, I must kill both of them; otherwise, the title of "Double Gold Hunter" held by my elder brother and me would be utterly worthless.
"From now on, will any late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator or early-stage Golden Core cultivator dare to offend us?"
"Senior Divine Herb, Jin Shuiwu is staring at us. Could it be that he wants to kill us? What should we do?"
Chen Shanren glanced at Jin Shuiwu, then quickly looked away, his heart tightening with anxiety. He said with a worried expression.
In his eyes, Jinshui Martial Master was a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, while Lin Xiaofei was only an early-stage Golden Core cultivator. Moreover, Lin Xiaofei was also a spirit plant master.
It should be noted that in the cultivation world, the combat power of spirit plant masters is inherently weak.
He was worried that if Jin Shuiwu attacked directly, he and Lin Xiaofei would definitely die.
"Don't worry, he wouldn't dare to make a move here. Otherwise, he would have rushed over already instead of just staring at us."
Lin Xiaofei smiled, paused for a moment, and then said easily:
Even if we really do fight, so what?
If the other party really charges at him, he will take action immediately; he is confident in that.
"Senior Divine Herb, please stop joking. If he really charges at us, you and I will both be in the Yellow Springs. Since he's just watching us..."
"Then let's hurry back to the manor; surely he can't keep up?"
Seeing how easily Lin Xiaofei spoke, Chen Shanren broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't expected Lin Xiaofei to joke with him at this point.
"Jin Shuiwu's eyes were filled with murderous intent; he clearly intended to kill us."
If you return to your residence at this time, and he sneaks in that night and quietly kills you, what will you do?
Seeing Jin Shuiwu stop and stare at him, Lin Xiaofei smiled and said to Chen Shanren beside him.
"What?
Will he sneak into my house tonight?
"Then my life is about to end."
Immediately, Chen Shanren's face turned pale, and he spoke with a pained expression. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, he thought for a moment, and said:
We were being targeted by Jin Shuiwu, and I knew that death was inevitable.
Since that's the case, I can't go back to the manor. If I do, Jin Shuiwu will sneak into my manor, and not only will I die, but the entire Chen family will also be quietly silenced.
No, I cannot return to the manor. It would be better to kill only me than to have most of the Chen family killed.
Senior Divine Herb, I've made up my mind. We're all going to die anyway, so we might as well just go and offer ourselves up. Since he's not killing us here, let's go to the grove outside the city.
That way, I can get rid of everything once and for all, and I won't bring trouble into your household.
"I was just saying it casually, but the Chen family head actually took it seriously."
However, Jin Shuiwu clearly intended to kill, so I cannot let him live.
Lin Xiaofei smiled slightly, thought for a moment, hesitated, and then spoke:
Patriarch Chen, I think you made a good point: "If they come to us willingly, let's go to the grove outside the city together."
Let's go.
After the time it takes for three incense sticks to burn, Lin Xiaofei and Chen Shanren arrived at a dark grove of trees. The surrounding area was overgrown with weeds taller than a person. It was a sparsely populated place, a perfect spot to carry out a murder.
"Senior, it seems he's about to make his move. We're all going to the Yellow Springs together now."
Chen Shanren glanced behind him and saw Jin Shuiwu slowly raising one hand, clearly condensing a spell, seemingly intending to kill them.
"Patriarch Chen, please step aside and watch the battle. Just don't get in the way."
Lin Xiaofei said calmly, stopped and turned around to see how Jin Shuiwu was going to make his move.
"Purple Mist Technique!"
Jin Shuiwu uttered a low voice, then waved his hand. A purple mist appeared in the void, enveloping the entire grove of trees as if blotting out the sky.
In an instant, the entire grove of trees was plunged into darkness.
With a whoosh!
A thick plume of purple smoke, like a rushing river, swept down.
“Senior Divine Herb, this is the Purple Mist Technique. In any area shrouded by the purple mist, the spiritual energy in the air will decrease rapidly, thus affecting the speed at which you cast spells.”
Chen Shanren frowned and shouted loudly.
Although he knew he was about to die, seeing Senior Divine Herb preparing to fight back, he hurriedly reminded Lin Xiaofei, which was his last struggle.
"You've finally made your move."
Lin Xiaofei's gaze remained calm as he watched Jin Shuiwu make his move, and he casually flicked out a palm strike as well.
A moment later, a huge black palm print, like a meteorite falling, slammed into the churning purple mist.
Rumble!
The moment the giant palm print touched the mist, a burst of spiritual light erupted, the palm print dispersed the purple mist, and caused the spiritual pressure within the purple mist to spread.
"Jin Shuiwu, is that all you've got?"
Lin Xiaofei called out softly.
"Um?"
Jin Shuiwu frowned. He had only used half his strength, yet it had been countered with a single palm strike. His gaze turned cold as he said, "
"Boy, you dared to bid against us at the auction house, relying on your abundance of spirit stones to disrespect my elder brother Jin Shuiren. You're courting death!"
