"That's good, that's good!"
The smile on Lin Yuan's face grew even wider.
He stepped aside and made a welcoming gesture.
"My young friend, please, come in."
"Let's talk details inside."
Su Ji followed him in.
The mountain gate of Xiaohai Sect wasn't grand, but it was tastefully arranged.
Passing through the front courtyard, Lin Yuan led Su Ji to a side hall.
"Please, have a seat, my young friend."
Lin Yuan personally poured Su Ji a cup of tea.
"This is a cloud-mist tea I've aged for years. Do give it a taste."
Su Ji took the cup but didn't drink.
He simply set it down on the table.
Lin Yuan noticed but didn't seem bothered. He sat down himself.
"My young friend, since you've already made up your mind, let's get straight to business."
He pulled a jade token from his robe and placed it on the table.
"This is the passage token."
"The moment you pay the spirit stones, this is yours."
Su Ji looked at the jade token but didn't speak right away.
He picked up the teacup and gently blew on the steam.
"Senior Lin, I have a question."
"Please, ask away."
"Is this passage token genuine?"
Lin Yuan's smile froze for a moment.
But he quickly recovered.
"What do you mean by that, my young friend?"
"I may not be a big shot, but I wouldn't fool people with counterfeit goods."
Su Ji set the cup down.
"Last night at the night market, I heard some people talking about you, Senior Lin."
"They said you specialize in deceiving wandering cultivators."
"That the passage tokens and the quotas are all fake."
Lin Yuan's expression turned grim.
"My young friend, are you questioning me?"
"I wouldn't dare."
Su Ji shook his head.
"I just wanted to be sure."
"Fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones is no small sum, after all."
Lin Yuan took a deep breath.
He stood up and walked to the window.
His back turned to Su Ji.
"My young friend, it's true that I've deceived some people."
"But those were all arrogant fools who didn't know their place."
"They deserved what they got."
He turned around and faced Su Ji.
"But you're different."
"I could tell at a glance that you're a smart man."
"So I won't lie to you."
Su Ji smiled.
"Senior Lin, that line sounds rather familiar."
"Isn't that what you say to everyone you plan to swindle?"
Lin Yuan's face darkened.
"My young friend, are you determined not to trust me?"
"It's not that I don't trust you."
Su Ji stood up.
"I just want to verify."
"Verify how?"
"Simple."
Su Ji pointed at the jade token on the table.
"Senior Lin, how about you hand me the token?"
"If this jade token truly lets me in, I'll come back and pay the spirit stones."
Su Ji paused.
Lin Yuan's face grew so dark it looked ready to drip.
"My young friend, are you mocking me?"
"Who knows if you'll even survive, or if you'll take the fortune and go into hiding, too scared to face me, or just outright refuse to pay?"
Su Ji shook his head.
"I just want to make sure."
"Fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones is no small sum, after all."
"I could swear a dao-heart oath."
"If you're truly sincere about this deal, Senior Lin, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"
Lin Yuan stared hard at Su Ji.
After a long silence.
He suddenly laughed.
That smile carried a hint of menace.
"Fine! Very well!"
"You're a sharp one, indeed!"
"Since that's the case, I'll drop the act."
He slammed the table.
"Guards!"
The moment the words left his mouth, seven or eight cultivators rushed in through the door.
Every single one had a formidable aura, at the very least at the Nascent Soul stage.
"Elder Lin, your orders?"
The leading Nascent Soul cultivator asked respectfully.
Lin Yuan pointed at Su Ji.
"Seize him!"
"And while you're at it, strip him of his storage ring!"
The Nascent Soul cultivator grinned viciously upon hearing this.
"Yes!"
With a wave of his hand, the cultivators behind him lunged at Su Ji.
Su Ji stood in place, unmoving.
He merely let out a sigh.
"Ah."
"I knew it."
He lifted his head and looked at Lin Yuan.
"Why do this to yourself?"
"Why?"
Lin Yuan sneered.
"You think I was actually going to let you walk out of here, kid?"
"I never planned to let you leave from the start!"
"You casually tossed back three thousand six hundred mid-grade spirit stones just for asking around last night. I've had my eye on you since then!"
"Now you've walked right into my den, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Su Ji shook his head.
"That's not what I meant."
"What I meant was..."
He glanced at the cultivator who had already charged forward, eager to claim the credit.
"Are you all really enough?"
The moment those words left his mouth, Su Ji moved.
He simply waved his hand.
A dark crimson flame materialized out of thin air.
In an instant, it engulfed the charging cultivator.
"AHHH—!"
A scream tore through the air.
He didn't even have a chance to react before the flames swallowed him whole.
In the blink of an eye, he was reduced to ash.
A Nascent Soul cultivator...
Su Ji sighed. It had been a while since he'd played at this low a level.
Even beating someone one realm above him felt like bullying newbies.
Lin Yuan's face went pale.
Su Ji didn't answer.
He just glanced at the leading Nascent Soul cultivator.
That single look sent a chill down the man's spine.
He instinctively stepped back.
"E-...Elder Lin..."
His voice trembled.
"Th-...this person... something's off..."
"W-...we should..."
Before he could finish, Su Ji waved his hand again.
The Nascent Soul cultivator didn't even have time to scream before he was blasted straight out of the building.
In the entire side hall.
Only Lin Yuan remained.
His face was ashen.
Though he was at the Spirit Transformation stage, it was painfully clear that he was no match for this young man.
This youth had no sense of honor!
He was hiding his true cultivation level, playing the pig to eat the tiger!
That sea beast yesterday was intentional on his part!
Why? Why dodge just once when you've got this kind of strength? You got provoked and didn't fight back?
Especially with that beauty by your side.
How could you hold back?
Why not show off a little?
"Wh-...who the hell are you..."
Su Ji walked up to him.
Looking down at him from above.
"Who I am doesn't matter."
"What matters is..."
Su Ji reached out his hand.
"Hand over your storage ring."
Lin Yuan weighed the option of fighting this young man for a moment...
In the end, he let out a sigh.
You walk by the river long enough, and sooner or later your shoes get wet.
Soaked shoes were fine—he could just change them.
But if his legs broke, he'd never walk by the river again.
He fumbled nervously, pulling out his storage ring.
He handed it to Su Ji.
Su Ji took it and swept his divine sense across it.
There was plenty inside.
All sorts of spirit stones, pills, and magical artifacts—everything you could want.
Clearly, Lin Yuan had swindled plenty of people over the years.
"Good."
Su Ji pocketed the storage ring.
Then he looked at Lin Yuan.
"Now, I have a few questions for you."
"Answer honestly."
"If I'm satisfied, I might spare your life."
Lin Yuan nodded frantically.
Su Ji asked.
"That Starry Sea Spectacle in the Boundless Sea—what's the real story? Do you know exactly when it appears?"
Lin Yuan swallowed hard.
"It appears once every ten years..."
"The next one... according to calculations, is four days from now..."
"And the passage token?"
"The token... it's real, too..."
Lin Yuan’s voice grew softer and softer.
“What I have in my hand is also real…”
“I… I only used the fake one to deceive people…”
Su Ji nodded.
“And those major powers, which ones are they?”
“There… there are three…”
Lin Yuan answered obediently.
“They are the Bihai Sect, the Xuanyun Valley, and our Xiaohai Sect…”
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
