Chapter 169: Common Disaster of Alchemists (2)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The chain of white light shattered the giant red palm, but it also lost all of its power and disappeared into the air.
...
Apart from the scorched ground below the collision point, there was nothing. There were no signs of a confrontation a moment ago.
Whoosh!
The sound of clothes fluttering could be heard.
An old man with gray hair and a gloomy expression landed in the courtyard and blocked the way of Lin Shen and the others. His cold gaze landed on Lin Shen like an arrow, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
âPath-stage Meltdown! Youâre a disciple of the Nine Suns Sect?â
Jing Haiâs tone carried a trace of uncertainty.
âŠ..
Initially, he thought that the intruders were just a bunch of cat demons. He didnât expect that there was actually a disciple of the Nine Suns Sect among them!
Was this disciple acting alone just to help this group of cat demons?
Or did the Nine Suns Sect discover his hidden identity and specially come here to capture him?
After all, Jing Hai was experienced enough. His mind raced, and he quickly figured it out.
If it was the latter case, then there would be more than one Nine Suns Sky Sect disciple in the manor.
It was most likely the former.
Thinking of this, Jing Hai made up his mind, and a cold smile appeared on his face again.
âSince youâre here, donât even think about leaving. Be a good boy and become my alchemy material!â
Amidst his laughter, Jing Hai pressed his index and middle fingers together. He was swift like the wind as he drew out 10 distorted paths in the air. Traces of green light were like imprints that condensed in midair and transformed into the calligraphy character of lightning.
As soon as the character took shape, Jing Hai immediately pressed forward with his palms.
In the next moment, a blazing chain of white light appeared again and shot toward Lin Shen like an arrow!
He had turned his spiritual essence into a talisman! It was Lightning Palm!
Lin Shenâs heart trembled.
Even though the scene just now had already given him the answer, he still held onto the hope that the old man might have used some kind of talisman.
However, the current situation had finally shattered the last trace of his hope.
Drawing talismans in the air was something that could only be done when oneâs cultivation reached an extremely high stage!
When a personâs soul was strengthened to a certain extent, they could awaken their spirit resonance and use the spirit supplement medium to draw talismans in the air!
In other words, a spell!
To do that, one had to break through to the Bright Aperture Stage first!
In other words, the old man was a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator!
The owner of this manor, an apothecary, was actually a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator?
Lin Shen was shocked.
However, the enemy was aggressive and didnât give him any time to think.
Facing the incoming lightning, Lin Shen activated the Forbidden Golden Armor without thinking.
In the next moment, the shadow of a majestic golden armor appeared out of thin air and enveloped Lin Shenâs entire body.
Crackle!
The blazing white lightning struck the golden armor, and with a bang, dazzling electric currents exploded, turning the surrounding grass into charcoal. Sparks flew, but Lin Shen, who was in the center of the lightning, was unscathed.
âPath-stage Physical Enhancement martial technique!â
Jing Haiâs pupils were constricted.
It wasnât rare for Bright Aperture Stage cultivators to master Path-stage martial techniques, but there werenât many Bright Aperture Stage cultivators who mastered two such martial techniques at the same time.
No wonder this person dared to barge into the manor. It seemed that he had some skills!
Because of his preconceived notions, Jing Hai still thought that Lin Shen was a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator.
At the same time, Tang Yue was dumbfounded.
On one hand, she was shocked that the owner of the manor was actually a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator.
On the other hand, she was also shocked by Lin Shenâs strength.
He had actually Path in his martial technique!
Two of them!
He even blocked the spell attacks of a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator twice in a row!
Tang Yue was shocked.
How could she thing that she had already understood how powerful Lin Shen was?
However, it was only at this moment that she realized that she had still far underestimated Lin Shen. The latterâs strength far exceeded her imagination!
Lin Shenâs voice suddenly woke Tang Yue up from her daze.
âTang Yue, take your people and leave!â
Tang Yue was stunned. When she realized what he had said, her expression changed drastically. She was about to speak when Lin Shen interrupted her.
âYouâre too weak. Youâll only drag me down if you stay!â
Tang Yueâs expression froze.
However, she also understood that Lin Shen was telling the truth.
With her Ascension Stage cultivation, she couldnât even survive a single exchange with Jing Hai. If she stayed, she would either be tempting fate for nothing or become a burden to Lin Shen.
It was even more the case with the other spirit cats.
Even the aftershock of a battle would probably take their lives!
After all, Tang Yue wasnât a shy person. Once she thought it through, she no longer hesitated. She took a long look at Lin Shen, gritted her teeth, and called for the spirit cats to leave.
âYou want to leave? Have you asked for my permission?â
Jing Hai snorted coldly and was about to stop the cats when he suddenly saw someone moving fast from the corner of his eye. Lin Shen had already arrived in front of him. He waved the longsword in his hand repeatedly, forming waves of sword light that enveloped Jing Hai.
The dazzling sword light made Jing Haiâs expression freeze.
After all, it was an attack from a cultivator he thought to be at the same level as him. He didnât dare to underestimate Lin Shen, so he could only give up on stopping Tang Yue. He wiped his palm, and a long sword appeared out of thin air.
In the next moment, there was an endless sound of metal colliding, and sparks burst out!
In just two to three seconds, the two of them had exchanged no less than 50 blows!
By the time the two of them separated, Tang Yue had already walked far away with the spirit cats. They had almost disappeared into the hazy night.
However, at this moment, Jing Hai could no longer care about them.
His gaze was fixed on Lin Shen, and his eyes flickered with surprise.
In that head-on clash just now, he was surprised to discover that his opponentâs strength didnât seem to be as powerful as he had expected.
âYouâre not a Bright Aperture Stage cultivator! Youâre at the Long Breath Stage!â
Jing Hai sized up Lin Shen, and his eyes gradually lit up with surprise.
âLong Breath Stage, Path-stage martial technique, and Nine Suns Sect⊠Hahaha, so youâre Lin Shen!
âI searched high and low for you, and voila!
âI was just thinking about how to capture you. I didnât expect you to actually bring yourself to my doorstep. Even the heavens are looking after me. HahahaâŠâ
Xu Yuanâs complacent and excited laughter rang out in the night.
Lin Shen raised his eyebrows.
Judging from the words of the fellow, it seemed that the other party had been planning to attack him for a long time!
But why?
Many thoughts flashed through Lin Shenâs mind, and he blurted out,
âYouâre from the Wild Wolves!
âŠ..
II
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Jing Hai looked at Lin Shen with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
âI didnât expect you to be so smart. You guessed my identity so quickly!â
As expected!
Lin Shen remained calm despite the discovery.
âSince when did the Wild Wolves go after spirit cats? Isnât your target the cultivators?â
âYou even know about such things? Looks like you know quite a lot.â
Jing Hai could tell what Lin Shen was trying to get out of him, but he was in a good mood and was certain that Lin Shen wouldnât be able to escape from him, so he didnât care.
âI used those spirit cats to experiment with a new breed of Blood Spirit Pills. Unfortunately, I havenât had any results yet.
âBut it doesnât matter. After I capture you and refine you into Blood Spirit Pills, Iâll be able to break through the bottleneck and become a cultivator master. At that time, with my cultivation and skills, Iâll be able to refine a new breed of Blood Spirit Pills!â
Lin Shen acutely sensed the key point in Jing Haiâs words.
âYouâre at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage?â
âThatâs right!â
Jing Hai stood proudly with his hands behind his back.
However, Lin Shenâs following words enraged him.
âReally? But why do I feel that you donât look like someone at the ninth level?
You feel a little weak!â
Jing Hai was stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage.
In fact, this was also a common problem for alchemists.
Alchemists spent most of their lives researching and refining medicinal pills without any distractions.
Although relying on pills, their cultivation levels were the same as ordinary cultivators, and their martial arts attainments and combat techniques were far inferior to the latter.
Because of this, alchemists were known to be weak among their peers!
Very weak.
An alchemist at the ninth level of the Bright Aperture Stage might not be able to defeat an ordinary cultivator at the third level.
As an apothecary, Jing Hai was not much better than an alchemist in this aspect.
Usually, he did not think much of it. Now that he was pointed out by a junior in the Long Breath Stage and even mocked for being weak, how could he hold it in? He was immediately furious!
âYoung man, you are too arrogant!â
As he shouted, Jing Hai rushed toward Lin Shen with a murderous expression..
