Chapter 973: In Vain
Lin Mu's face darkened.
He looked towards the door of the store, wanting to see what was going on.
On the first day of the opening of Feixian Palace, someone came to make trouble. They simply looked down on him.
Although a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake, a strong dragon is still a strong dragon. After all, he has won twelve consecutive victories and never lost in the top mineral vein competition in the entire Jinxiu world. Even the late-stage fusion cultivators are not his opponents.
Such a record is enough to show off.
Even if someone dares to make trouble for him, they really look down on him.
This is the biggest provocation!
Lin Mu can't tolerate it.
Especially now, at the important moment when Feixian Palace has just opened, he also wants to take this opportunity to make a name for himself in Ningxiang City in one fell swoop, and the Jieyin Jade Slip will be popular throughout the city, and millions of cultivators will rush to buy it.
This idea must not die so easily.
No one can stop him.
Now Lin Mu is also a member of Ningxiang City, and has his own Feixian Palace. The rules here are also very restrictive to him.
Not being able to take action in the city, this alone makes him feel constrained.
But now Lin Mu can no longer care about these things. He is fully prepared to take action. He will never allow any Eva to happen. Today's sale must not be stopped!
Feixian Palace was originally surrounded by cultivators, but the cultivators were very conscious and lined up in a long curved dragon, like a nine-curve corridor, overlapping, but staggered and orderly.
But now, this order has been ruthlessly disrupted.
Two brocade-robed cultivators rushed in, and all the cultivators who stood in front of them were suddenly pushed away by them and retreated several steps back. The originally orderly crowd suddenly became a mess.
But the cultivators who were pushed away looked at the two brocade-robed cultivators who rushed in. Although they were very angry in their hearts, they dared not speak out and could only silently endure it.
The two brocade-robed cultivators were both at the Fusion Stage!
They couldn't afford to offend any of them.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Lin Mu.
A small number of people had heard of Lin Mu's name before. Since he beat Qu Sheng, his reputation has skyrocketed. His feat in Lin Ge City was also exaggerated and spread to many ordinary cultivators.
But these ordinary cultivators have lived for thousands of years. None of them is stupid. Many people still have doubts about Lin Mu's feat.
Is Lin Mu really that powerful?
Many people don't believe it.
Some people believe it without a doubt, because they saw with their own eyes how Lin Mu beat Qu Sheng and beat him into a pig's head. It was a terrible beating.
But this is not very convincing. Many people say that Lin Mu fought in Qu Sheng's Lingbao Pavilion. No matter how weak Lin Mu's strength is, he is at least at the level of a fusion stage cultivator. If Qu Sheng fights with Lin Mu, not only will he violate the city regulations of Ningxiang City and be severely punished, but the Lingbao Pavilion will also suffer an unexpected disaster, and the various treasures inside may be damaged.
If it were in another place, such as outside Ningxiang City, the situation might be completely different.
Even in Lin Mu's shop, the situation would be very different.
Even if Qu Sheng couldn't beat Lin Mu, he would never be as cowardly as he was that day!
In fact, Qu Sheng looked miserable that day, but he was only slightly injured and it was not a big deal.
Lin Mu's record that day was not very convincing.
But today, it was completely different.
Two fusion stage cultivators came to the door, and all the cultivators looked at Lin Mu, wanting to see how he would solve the matter.
Whether it is a mule or a horse, you will know it after taking it out for a walk.
Everyone who had heard the rumors was extremely curious about Lin Mu's true strength.
"Lin Mu is in trouble this time. Two fusion cultivators came together. They have bad intentions!"
"I heard that he can even defeat fusion cultivators in the late stage. These two are in the early stage of fusion, so they should not be his opponents."
"It's hard to say. There are many people who are not as good as their reputation."
The cultivators were talking about it.
"Did we trust Lin Mu too much before?" A cultivator suddenly said, "We believed everything he said. Let alone whether we can collect all nine treasure maps, even if we can, can he fulfill his promise? The secret techniques of fusion cultivators, the eighth-grade skills, the spiritual treasures? The peerless elixir that improves the realm of consciousness? I'm afraid these are all gimmicks that deliberately fool people, right?"
Before the two fusion cultivators came to Lin Mu, someone began to question Lin Mu.
The doubting cultivator looked at the two fusion cultivators with admiration and pride.
A sharp-eyed cultivator quickly figured out his origins and couldn't help but ask, "If I remember correctly, you are Ma Dafei from Lingbao Sect, right?"
Several cultivators around also stared at him for a while, and a cultivator in green followed up, "He is Ma Dafei, he owed me 200,000 spirit stones before, and he hasn't paid me back yet. Today I finally caught you, give me the spirit stones!"
The blue-clothed cultivator immediately stepped forward and grabbed Ma Dafei's collar, fearing that he would take advantage of the chaos to escape again and would never be found again.
The scene became more and more chaotic.
Several cultivators understood and said, "Lin Mu had offended Qu Sheng of Lingbao Sect before. I'm afraid that this time Qu Sheng is looking for someone to take revenge."
"Ma Dafei deliberately slandered Lin Mu and tried to deceive people. It is obvious that someone behind the scenes instructed him."
"This is obviously a premeditated action. Lin Mu is in trouble today!"
The cultivators talked about it.
Lin Mu kept his eyes on all directions and listened to all directions. These words also reached his ears.
His eyes were not only on the two fusion stage cultivators, he was also worried that there were other cultivators lurking in the dark, deliberately disrupting the situation, deceiving people, making the situation out of control, and ruining his reputation.
If his reputation was lost, he would really have a hard time in Ningxiang City.
Lin Mu knew that he was a newcomer, and he only had a little credibility based on his previous reputation. The cultivators had some trust in him, but this trust could not withstand any wind and rain.
He still needed time to prove himself.
But someone didn't let him have this time. As soon as the Feixian Palace opened, they came to make trouble.
It was not just two fusion stage cultivators.
The situation began to develop in the worst direction.
The person behind the plot was definitely not just impulsive, wanting to come and make trouble to save face.
Qu Sheng alone could not do this. It was possible that the elders of the Lingbao Sect and even Wang Le were controlling it behind the scenes.
Things were becoming more and more difficult.
If it was not resolved today, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in Ningxiang City in the future.
Lin Mu's face was calm, and he walked slowly towards the front door step by step.
The crowded crowd automatically made way for him.
Lin Mu walked forward, helped up several cultivators who fell to the ground, then stood up, stared at the two fusion stage cultivators, and said word by word, "Before I do anything, apologize to my customers!"
Lin Mu did not say anything harsh, but the cultivators who were just helped up by him felt warm in their hearts and felt that they had a backer.
They were pushed to the ground, and they felt pain in their bodies, but they dared not speak out, and they did not expect anyone to help them out and seek justice.
Lin Mu was willing to stand up and speak for them.
As masters, the difference between the two fusion stage cultivators and Lin Mu was highlighted in an instant.
The misleading words that Ma Dafei spread just now could no longer stand.
Lin Mu not only would not cheat people, but was also willing to help them out. Where can you find such a businessman?
Many cultivators are willing to believe that what Lin Mu said before is true.
A black-robed cultivator in the crowd was somewhat angry and humiliated. They had painstakingly planned and were on the verge of success. The credibility crisis that had just begun to show signs of spreading and growing would be unstoppable if it were fueled.
Who knew that Lin Mu's words would make their efforts go to waste.
