Chapter 24 An Unexpected Surprise

Pause.

"But you probably don't know that the number of recommended places for cultivation families is also limited every year. There are not enough for our own people in the family, not to mention you are an outsider. If it weren't for your usefulness, I would have sent you to reincarnation long ago."

"Li Yan, don't kill me. At most, I don't want to recommend you. Our friendship is not worth it for a saber-toothed tiger. In this way, all the saber-toothed tigers belong to you. How about it?"

"Hehe, don't you think it's too late to say this now? Anyway, I have told you everything I should tell you, and you died with your eyes closed. I will send you off now."

Xiao Lin saw that Li Yan, who was sitting under the tree, stood up. Although his face was very pale, he obviously did not lose his fighting power. He pinched his fingers with one hand, and a small green sword flashed from his waist. The small sword swelled in the wind and turned into a three-foot-long sword in the blink of an eye. It dragged a long tail flame and slashed towards Fang Xing lying on the ground. "

"Li Yan, I didn't expect you to be so insidious. Well, even if I die, I will never let you off. "Immediately afterwards, a golden yellow talisman emerged from Fang Xing's chest. After the talisman rose three feet, it flashed with light and then burned up.

Li Yan's face changed drastically when he saw this scene, and he exclaimed: "You actually still have a primary talisman, how is it possible? This talisman requires at least hundreds of low-grade spirit stones. How can you, a casual cultivator, afford it?"

"Humph, I have practiced in the Tianlu Mountains for more than 20 years. Can't I even afford a primary talisman to save my life? Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. "

Xiao Lin was surprised to see that after the talisman burned, it immediately turned into three huge fireballs, which shot towards Li Yan in a line.

And Fang Xing was also slashed by the green sword in mid-air, and his head rolled to the side, facing Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin saw that Fang Xing's face was pale, but his eyes were still wide open, with an expression of unwillingness to close his eyes.

"Boom boom boom. "Li Yan was not much better off. He had been attacked by Fang Xing and was seriously injured. Now facing the primary spell, he only had time to condense a spiritual shield in front of him, but when the first fireball exploded, the spiritual shield shattered and disintegrated. Then two fireballs hit his chest directly and then exploded. The huge force directly knocked Li Yan away. Xiao Lin looked from afar and saw that Li Yan's body was charred black, and the robe on his chest was also burned to ashes, revealing the inner armor that was shining with a green halo. However, at this moment, this inner armor was also charred, and it was obvious that it could not completely resist the fire. Block the attack of this elementary spell.

"Puff~" Li Yan directly hit the tree trunk behind him, spurted a mouthful of blood, and then fell down.

Xiao Lin, who was standing by, was shocked. The two who were brothers before were now fighting as if they had a grudge against each other for killing their father, one dead and one injured.

Li Yan supported himself with his arms and slowly raised his head. With a somewhat fortunate expression on his face, he looked coldly at Fang Xing, who had already separated from his family, and said with gritted teeth: "I didn't expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve. It seems that I still underestimated you, but I will be the winner in the end."

"Who?" Li Yan's face suddenly changed, and he turned to look in the direction of Xiao Lin, his eyes full of murderous intent.

Xiao Lin secretly groaned. He had just accidentally stepped on a dead branch, which made some noise. He slowly walked out from behind the tree, his face full of helplessness.

"Who are you? "Li Yan pretended to be calm, and the green little sword turned into a three-foot long sword in his hand. He supported his body and stood up.

"I am just a casual cultivator passing by here looking for spiritual herbs. Ah, did this fellow Taoist die in the mouth of the saber-toothed tiger?" Xiao Lin looked at the dead Fang Xing, and then at the saber-toothed tiger lying in a pool of blood not far away, and said in horror.

Li Yan's face softened a little. He could see at a glance that the cultivation level of the person in front of him was only the third level of Qi Refining. He usually didn't even bother to look at this level of cultivators, but he would never let it go if he met him.

After thinking about it, he showed a kind smile: "Yes, we accidentally found this saber-toothed tiger. Unexpectedly, this saber-toothed tiger is very powerful. My brother was killed by it, and even I was slightly injured. "

"So that's it. "Xiao Lin showed a look of realization, and then asked with concern: "Is your injury okay? If the injury is serious, I have some elixirs for treating internal injuries."

Waving his hand, Li Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, it's just a minor injury. It will be restored to its original state after a little breathing adjustment for an hour or two."

"Ah~" Li Yan suddenly exclaimed, and staggered, as if his injury had relapsed.

"Be careful." Xiao Lin exclaimed, and instinctively dodged over, wanting to help Li Yan, but Li Yan's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the long sword in his hand drew a three-foot-long sword energy, slashing towards Xiao Lin.

"Bang. "Followed by a scream.

Li Yan lowered his head in disbelief and saw a green water arrow stuck in his chest, but more than half of the water arrow had already sunk into his chest.

Xiao Lin was staring at him coldly at this moment. The long sword in Li Yan's hand was slashing on a black shield that was about a foot long and flashing with green light.

"You?" Li Yan said only one word, and the arrow on his chest suddenly exploded, tearing his chest apart. He was also blown away two feet by the recoil force, and fell heavily to the ground, completely silent.

Xiao Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although this was not his first time to kill someone, it was the first time to kill a high-level Qi Refining cultivator. In fact, Xiao Lin was very nervous just now. You know, this Li Yan is a descendant of a cultivation family. His wealth and means are not comparable to those of a poor casual cultivator like him. If Li Yan is like Fang Xing and has a backup plan, then he will be in danger.

But he also knew very well that since he saw him, Li Yan would never let him go. In this case, Li Yan happened to stumble deliberately to lure Xiao Lin closer, and Xiao Lin took advantage of the situation and blocked Li Yan's attack with the ebony spirit shield, and at the same time, he fired the water arrow technique that he had already silently chanted.

Li Yan underestimated Xiao Lin too much, but he couldn't be blamed for that. In his eyes, Xiao Lin, a low-level cultivator at the third level of Qi Refining, was not a threat at all. Even if he was seriously injured, it would not be difficult to kill a cultivator of this level.

Unfortunately, Li Yan would not have a second chance. Xiao Lin looked around cautiously, then found a cave in the forest and dragged the saber-toothed tiger's body into the cave. As for the two bodies, he looted all the things of the two people and threw them into a big pit to bury them.

After returning to the cave, Xiao Lin's tense nerves relaxed a little. He took out the items he got from the two people. From Fang Xing, Xiao Lin took out a book and a wooden box, as well as three emerald green low-grade spirit stones. From Li Xing, in addition to a small green sword, there was a small bag the size of a palm, which looked like a sachet.

Seeing this small bag, Xiao Lin's eyes lit up. He had seen this thing in the book [Comprehensive Explanation of Cultivation Common Sense]. It was a thing called a storage bag, which was used by cultivators to store items. However, ordinary casual cultivators rarely had storage bags. Generally, only the direct descendants of those relatively wealthy cultivation families or disciples of the five major sects could afford storage bags.

Recalling the explanation of storage bags in the book, after a while, Xiao Lin placed the storage bag in his palm, then closed his eyes and began to drive his spiritual consciousness, slowly covering the storage bag. After a while, Xiao Lin opened his eyes and smiled. He gently poured the storage bag in his hand.

Immediately, a small pile of things poured out from it.

Xiao Lin's face showed excitement. He didn't expect that Li Yan was so rich. There were nine low-grade spirit stones alone, a book, an emerald green jade slip, and a lot of materials.

Seeing the book, Xiao Lin was slightly stunned. He saw three words written on it at a glance: [Ku Shui Jing]. Xiao Lin's face flashed with surprise. He picked it up and flipped through a few pages. He could not hide his joy. It turned out that this Ku Shui Jing actually recorded all the exercises in the Qi Refining Period. There were ten levels in total, and even the Ku Shui Jing exercises of the Great Perfection were included.

This made Xiao Lin not have to consider the problem of exercises before building the foundation. The book that he took out from Fang Xing's arms was a kind of exercise called [Huo Yang Gong], and it only had one to six levels. Xiao Lin put the book aside casually. This book was not suitable for him for the time being, but he was still very interested in the basic spells of fireball in this book. He could practice it when he had time.

Xiao Lin picked up the emerald green jade slip again. He had seen this kind of jade slip in the book of the complete solution of cultivation common sense, but it was the first time he saw it. He knew that this kind of jade slip was used by cultivators to record some things. Of course, the things recorded might be some exercises, or some formulas, refining methods, etc.

This made Xiao Lin a little excited. He couldn't wait to put the jade slip in his palm and then drove his spiritual consciousness into it to check.

After half an hour, Xiao Lin opened his eyes, his eyes full of smiles.

It turned out that the jade slip recorded a basic spell called [Flash Shield]. According to the records in the jade slip, as long as this basic spell is practiced, you can condense a spiritual shield at any time according to your own thoughts to resist external attacks, and this spiritual shield will increase its defense as your cultivation level increases. If you practice to the Great Perfection, you can even flash continuously within your own range. Unless it is defeated and dissipated, it can always protect itself from harm.
