Four Ice Profound Turtles struggled for a moment, then stopped moving, their blood dyeing a huge patch of swamp red.
The water calmed down!
"Holy crap! Four Ice Profound Turtles, each as strong as the Early Stage of Qi Refining Seventh Layer, were instantly slain by Senior Brother Lin! Thatâs amazing!"
"Senior Brother Lin, I never thought Iâd run into you here. Your skills are just incredible!"
"Weâre saved!"
"......"
Seeing Lin Changâsheng instantly slay four Ice Profound Turtles as strong as the Early Stage of Qi Refining Seventh Layer, Zhao Kai, Liu Zhengfeng, Nie Yuan, and the other five were all utterly shocked and froze in place.
"Isnât that the same Lin Changâsheng that Junior Sister Gao cares about?"
"Heâs already at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer? Wasnât he at the Sixth Layer before?"
Zhang Junyao stood beside Nie Yuan, staring at Lin Changâsheng with astonishment in her eyes.
She had always kept an eye on Lin Changâsheng, relaying news about him to Gao Ziyue in exchange for some favors. Thatâs why she knew that just half a month ago, he was at Qi Refining Sixth Layer.
She never expected this.
In just half a month, Lin Changâsheng had advanced to Qi Refining Seventh Layer, and could even instantly kill four Ice Profound Turtles!
The five of them had come here for a mission. They were supposed to hunt the Ice Profound Turtles one by one, but accidentally attracted three more. With four on them, each as strong as the Seventh Layer, the five of them had no choice but to run for their lives.
She had even secretly thought that Junior Sister Gaoâs taste was poor, taking a fancy to such a mediocre cultivator like Lin Changâsheng.
Now she realizedâsheâd been too shallow.
"Many thanks for your help, Senior Brother Lin!"
Nie Yuan, having come back to his senses, immediately stepped up to Lin Changâsheng, cupping his fist respectfully and apologetically. "The five of us brought the Ice Profound Turtles here and caused you trouble, Senior Brother Lin. Weâre willing to process these four Ice Profound Turtle carcasses, trade them in for Spirit Stones, and hand them all over to you!"
"And also, each of us will give you three Spirit Stones as compensation for disturbing you. What do you think, Senior Brother?"
Nie Yuan was at the Early Stage of Qi Refining Seventh Layer, strongest in their little team of five, and he knew just how deadly four Profound Turtles were. Without Senior Brother Linâs help, there was no way they wouldâve escaped the turtlesâ pursuit!
There was a real chance one or two of them would have died!
"Alright, thatâs fine! You all go ahead and do your thing!"
Lin Changâsheng nodded.
These five really did interrupt him while he was cooking up Five Elements Fire Potion. It was only right that they took the initiative to compensate him with Spirit Stones.
"Got it!"
Nie Yuan nodded, then led Liu Zhengfeng, Zhao Kai, Zhang Junyao, and another female disciple to bow respectfully to Lin Changâsheng before going over to take care of the four dead Ice Profound Turtles.
"Senior Brother Nie, what do you think Senior Brother Lin was cooking over there?"
As she carved up an Ice Profound Turtle, Zhang Junyao kept sneaking glances at Lin Changâsheng and secretly asked Nie Yuan.
"No idea. Maybe heâs making soup or something?"
Nie Yuan was curious too.
Senior Brother Lin Changâshengâs pot was all yellow and floating with chunks of wood, who knew what the heck he was up to.
"Hmm, there are a few fellow disciples around. Itâd feel awkward to dance and shake my hips here. Iâd better go find a mountaintop for this!"
With a wave of his hand, Lin Changâsheng swept the pot and iron stand into his Storage Bag, glanced at Nie Yuan, Zhao Kai, and the other five, then said, "Brothers, you all take care of your business. Iâve got something to do, so Iâll take my leave!"
"Take care, Senior Brother!"
"Take care, Senior Brother!"
"......"
Nie Yuan and the others all cupped their fists respectfully at Lin Changâsheng.
.......
Fifty miles away.
On top of a mountain several hundred feet tall, Lin Changâsheng held a big pot spoon in his left hand, stirring the Five Elements Fire Potion. While the wind whistled, he twisted his waist, shook his hips, and swung the Immortal Slaying Saber. On the ground was an Essence Pill Formula, pinned down with a rock so the wind wouldnât blow it away.
This Essence Pill Formula was snagged from Murong Tianâs Storage Bag.
"Right now, Iâm at Qi Refining Seventh Layer. If I take any more Spirit Storage Pills, Iâll only get 400 Experience Points from each. Itâs time to start refining Essence Pills! Plus, those are worth way more than Spirit Storage Pills and will bring in more Spirit Stones!"
Lin Changâsheng kept moving, glancing at the Essence Pill Formula, already plotting his next move in his mind.
