Chapter 33 - 33 Conspiracy
“Big Brother, I do have a method…”
Zhang Lin suddenly spoke up at this moment.
Zhang Sen turned his head toward his younger brother, asking urgently, ‘What method? Speak quickly.”
Zhang Lin’s eyes gleamed coldly as he stared in the direction of Ning Yue’s
small courtyard and suddenly asked Zhang Sen:
“Big Brother, do you think cultivating the Alchemy Technique consumes Spirit Stones?”
Zhang Sen nodded in affirmation:
“Of course, without a large number of Spirit Stones as a foundation, how could one cultivate the Alchemy Technique?”
“Especially at the beginning, when the failure rate is extremely high—if there weren’t a large number of Spirit Stones to rely on, one certainly couldn’t persist.”
“However, once successful, an Alchemist could be considered the most profitable profession, with Spirit Stones flowing in endlessly.” After finishing, Zhang Sen looked at Zhang Lin, puzzled: “What? You want to cultivate the Alchemy Technique?” He then shook his head, saying self-deprecatingly: “Given our current situation, better not to think about it…”
Yet Zhang Lin suddenly cut in, interrupting Zhang Sen:
“You’ve misunderstood, Big Brother.”
“It’s not so easy to master the Alchemy Technique; I know that all too well and wouldn’t entertain such fanciful ideas.”
“But isn’t someone else cultivating the Alchemy Technique? If he didn’t have Spirit Stones, how could he dare to pursue this Alchemy Technique?”
Zhang Sen suddenly came to a realization:
“Are you talking about Brother Lin?”
“But we haven’t seen any activity from him lately; I think he must have given up by now.”
“Whether he has given up or not, I am not sure, but I do know that he definitely has a substantial amount of Spirit Stones on him. As long as we take his Spirit Stones…” Zhang Lin said, his eyes brimming with malicious intent as he looked across.
“Then won’t we have nothing to worry about?”
Zhang Sen frowned, hesitating:
“Doing such a thing doesn’t seem right; Brother Lin hasn’t done anything to wrong us. If we do this, wouldn’t it be rather inappropriate?”
“Tsk…”
Zhang Lin was disdainful, scoffing at the notion.
“Big Brother, have you gone daft?”
“Have you forgotten the scene where we begged him at his doorstep just two days ago?”
“You were practically kneeling to him, but did he show you even a shred of
“Don’t say he has no Spirit Stones.”
“The fragrance wafting from his house these past few days, I’ve smelled it distinctly—it’s definitely Superior Spirit Rice.”
“He has the money to eat Superior Spirit Rice but refuses to lend us a single Spirit Stone, yet we’re supposed to be neighbors.”
“What Brother Lin? Pah…
Thinking back to that day made Zhang Lin extremely infuriated; neither he nor his brother had ever groveled so low before anyone.
Zhang Sen said nothing more and merely hung his head in silence.
Zhang Lin looked at his brother and, seeing that he wasn’t defending Lin Jing, knew his words had taken effect.
He then continued to embellish and incite, saying:
“Big Brother, think about it.”
“When Lin Jing first arrived here, wasn’t it you who explained everything about this place to him every day? Without you, Big Brother, how could he have adapted so quickly here?”
“What’s more, wasn’t it you who introduced Ning Yue to them both?”
“Look at how close the two of them are now, sticking together every day, even sharing meals, they are practically one step away from sharing a bed.” After finishing, Zhang Lin then added leisurely:
“Right, didn’t we see him carrying things into the Su family’s door this afternoon?”
“The two of them might still be drinking at this moment, and who knows what they’ll do after finishing their wine…”
Zhang Sen looked up, his gaze pensive as he peered across.
Zhang Lin continued:
“They’ve all reached this point, and not only do they not thank you, Big Brother, they also give you the cold shoulder every day,” said Zhang Lin. “Especially that widow, Ning Yue, she’s the most detestable.”
“If it were not for the fact that I can’t beat her, I would have long…” Zhang Lin didn’t continue his words…
Licking his lips, Zhang Lin began to let his imagination run wild.
“Although that widow Ning Yue isn’t much to look at, her figure is definitely top-notch. If only…”
As Zhang Sen listened to Zhang Lin, he lowered his head in contemplation, reflecting on the recent encounters, his gaze gradually becoming resolute.
“What do you plan to do?”
“Don’t forget, that Ning Yue is a Late Stage Qi Refining cultivator, and we are no match for her.”
“He and Brother Lin… no, Lin Jing are so close; he certainly won’t sit by and do nothing. ”
“Besides, there’s one person we can’t overlook—that Wei fellow. If he’s around, he might kill us both on the spot.”
Zhang Lin smirked and reminded him:
“Big Brother, have you forgotten what time it is now? In a few days, Ning Yue and that Wei person will definitely go out, and that will be our chance.” Zhang Sen’s eyes lit up, “The anniversary of Ning Yue’s husband’s death…” “Exactly, we’ll have at least one whole day,” said Zhang Lin.
“Both of us are at the Mid Stage of Qi Refining, and that Lin Jing is only at the early stage. What’s there to fear about not being able to handle him?”
“When the time comes, we’ll sneak over the wall and get in. We’ll capture him first to prevent him from hiding the Spirit Stones, then we can interrogate him. After we’ve finished plundering everything, we can just give him one slice and he’s done for.”
“That way, no one will be the wiser.”
“What do you think about this plan, Big Brother?”
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Sen nodded in agreement.
“Alright, that’s the plan.”
Afterwards, with a sinister look in his eyes, he gazed towards the opposite side:
“If you’re heartless, then don’t blame me for being unrighteous.”
Meanwhile, across the way, Lin Jing was drinking wine. At this moment, slightly drunk, he was unaware that a conspiracy against him was about to unfold.
The gathering continued until late into the night before it ended.
Afterward, Lin Jing returned home and immediately entered the System Space.
Once inside the System Space, Lin Jing sat down cross-legged and began to drive the effects of the alcohol out of his system.
Because tonight, he had an important task to accomplish.
The outside world was becoming increasingly chaotic, and he too needed to rapidly enhance his own strength.
“System, open the panel.”
Lin Jing summoned the system panel to check his cultivation.
Lin Jing (24/90)
Spiritual Root: Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root (Low Grade)
Cultivation: Qi Refining Third Level (96%) Cultivation Technique: Qingyuan
Dao Method (First Layer), Qingyuan Sword Control Technique (Beginner),
Controlling Fire Technique (Proficient)
Secondary Occupation: First Grade Alchemist (1982/3000)
“96% in cultivation. Just one Pure Elixir is needed to reach the Fourth Level of Qi Refining.”
The Fourth Level of Qi Refining marks the Mid Stage.
The Mid Stage Qi Refining is completely different from the Early Stage.
The biggest difference is that only at the Mid Stage can one fly with swords and also begin to practice intermediate spells.
Even at the Third Level of Qi Refining, he could only practice some basic spells such as the Wind Blade Technique, Fireball Technique, and Item Control Technique.
The Qingyuan Sword Control Technique he practiced at Qingyuan Sword Sect was one such basic spell. Even at its utmost proficiency, its power is limited.
Therefore, Lin Jing has not been practicing it, finding the use of Talismans to be simpler and more convenient, as they only require spiritual power to activate.
Of course, the Controlling Fire Technique is different.
The Controlling Fire Technique is a fundamental auxiliary spell that every Alchemist must learn, and it’s not meant for combat.
As for sword flying, there’s no need to say more, as Lin Jing had been looking forward to it for a long time..
