"Hahahaha, Zhang Yunlong, let me tell you, that gourd has already been taken by my son. He has joined the Overlord Sect and become an inner disciple."
"Just you wait, sooner or later, my son Xiao Chuan will return for revenge!"
Whenever the gourd was mentioned, Xiao Kui's face would turn manic.
His son, Xiao Chuan, had broken through to the Qi Refining stage at the age of fifteen. Although he had stagnated since then, his talent was undeniable. This time, he had caught the eye of an elder from the Overlord Sect and was taken as a disciple.
"Ah? The gourd is with Xiao Chuan? That's impossible!"
Seeing Xiao Kui's frenzied state, Lin Chen was a bit bewildered.
Back then, Xiao Chuan had tried to cause trouble at Qiu Hanying's company, and Lin Chen had killed him. All he had on him was a precious sword and a ring. He hadn't seen anything else!
"What? Lin Chen, you've met this Xiao Chuan?"
Seeing Lin Chen's stunned expression, Zhang Yunlong quickly inquired.
After all, the Overlord Sect was known as one of the top ten sects in the Dragon Country! If that Xiao Chuan had truly become an inner disciple, he would definitely return for revenge in the future.
If he had met Lin Chen, he would surely face a calamity!
"Uh, yes, I've met him. He was trying to cause trouble for my friend by pretending to be a ghost, and then he tried to kill me. I ended up killing him instead."
"However, all he had on him was a mid-grade magical artifact sword and a ring."
"Here, it's these two items."
Without further ado, Lin Chen took out everything he had obtained from Xiao Chuan back then.
"Impossible, this is impossible! How could my son's storage ring be in your hands?"
Seeing the ring Lin Chen produced, Zhang Yunlong was completely stunned.
Hadn't his son gone to the Overlord Sect to cultivate? How could he have died at Lin Chen's hands? That was his only descendant!
"Heh heh heh, it seems like destiny is at play!"
"Xiao Kui, you harmed my wife back then. Did you ever think of this day?"
Learning that Xiao Chuan was already dead, Zhang Yunlong was completely relieved.
It seemed that this was all fate!
"Silly boy, this is called a storage ring. It's a ring specifically used to store items in the cultivation world, much like your Nine Dragon Ring."
As he spoke, Zhang Yunlong waved his hand, erased the mark on it, and took out everything inside the ring.
Indeed, there was a purple-gold gourd inside.
When the gourd was opened, a rich aroma of medicinal pills wafted out.
However, Lin Chen noticed that the highest grade pill inside was only a fourth-grade one. It didn't seem like anything extraordinary.
"Look, this one is the Nascent Soul Breaking Pill. To advance from the Core Formation stage to the legendary Nascent Soul stage, this pill is essential. Otherwise, even if you cultivate for a lifetime, you won't be able to break through!"
Zhang Yunlong exclaimed excitedly, taking out the only Nascent Soul Breaking Pill.
Back then, it was this very item that almost caused his entire family to be destroyed!
"Lin Chen, your talent is exceptional. This Nascent Soul Breaking Pill, you should use it!"
Zhang Yunlong gritted his teeth and stamped his foot, directly handing the Nascent Soul Breaking Pill to Lin Chen beside him.
He knew that this kid had reached the Core Formation stage in just two years. His talent was truly terrifying.
This Nascent Soul Breaking Pill in his hands would surely shine even brighter.
"Sigh, Master, it's just a mere Nascent Soul Breaking Pill. You can use it. If you need more later, I'll refine two more for you."
Lin Chen waved his hand, appearing nonchalant.
He was already a third-grade alchemist now, and he was only a step away from refining the Nascent Soul Breaking Pill, so he wasn't in a hurry.
"What? You can refine it? You're an alchemist too?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yunlong was even more dumbfounded.
Good heavens, this kid was even hiding this from him!
"Cough cough cough, Master, you were the one who said it. Cultivators must never reveal their trump cards, not even to their closest kin!"
Lin Chen touched his nose, looking a bit speechless.
He had actually been a first-grade alchemist in prison, but what was there to refine pills with in prison?
An alchemist who hadn't personally refined any pills, could they even be called an alchemist?
"Good boy, alright. Since that's the case, I'm completely at ease. Xiao Kui, you can enjoy the torment of the Ten Thousand Worms Devouring Heart Gu here!"
"Don't worry, after you die, I'll come back to collect your body!"
After saying this, Zhang Yunlong, along with Lin Chen and Zhang Ying, turned to leave. Before they left, he placed a small restriction on the basement, prohibiting anyone from entering or exiting.
After leaving the villa, Zhang Yunlong and his daughter had their own things to discuss, while Lin Chen took the opportunity to call his mother.
His mother was in a good mood, traveling, and her calls were filled with laughter. Lin Chen was finally at ease.
The next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Yunlong called Lin Chen for a brief meeting.
"Lin Chen, you stay home and rest. Your senior sister and I will go and recruit the remaining disciples of the Ghost God Sect. We'll also bring Xiao Kui along. It's not good to keep him in the bustling city all the time."
"However, you'll need to handle the mortal world. I heard that those Ghost God Sect elders held considerable positions in the mortal world."
"Yes, okay, I'll do as Master arranges!"
Hearing Zhang Yunlong's words, Lin Chen didn't refuse and immediately agreed.
After Zhang Yunlong and his daughter left, Lin Chen drove to the Meng family and met Old Master Meng.
"Oh my, Mr. Lin, a rare visitor, a rare visitor! Please have a seat. I'll personally make you tea!"
Seeing Lin Chen personally come to the Meng family, Old Master Meng seemed overwhelmed with joy.
He knew that Lin Chen was a divine being!
"Old Meng, please don't trouble yourself. I wouldn't be here today if I didn't need something. I have something to trouble you with."
Seeing Old Master Meng busy himself, Lin Chen quickly spoke to persuade him.
"That won't do, Mr. Lin. It's our honor to have you seek our help. Please have some tea first. No matter what it is, as long as our Meng family can do it, we will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Learning that Lin Chen needed his help, Old Master Meng became even more motivated.
For him, if the Meng family could owe Lin Chen a favor, it would only bring benefits in the future.
"Ahem, it's actually not a difficult matter. Zhou Tianguo of the Fifth Hospital is an evil cultivator who has taken countless lives. Now that I've killed him, I wanted to ask your opinion on this matter."
Lin Chen smiled slightly and spoke to Old Master Meng.
He believed that since there were cultivators and various sects in this world, the Dragon Country's government must have some measures in place.
Otherwise, with "chivalry" violating the law, let alone cultivators.
If there were no restraints, this world would have descended into chaos long ago!
