C30 Killed on the spot!
On the wall of the lobby hung a decorative bronze sword.
But after Lin Nan shouted, the bronze sword actually started to vibrate, and shot towards Ceng Ping's back with a swoosh!
Pfft!
Ceng Ping's eyes bulged out and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The bronze sword came out from his back, its blade dyed blood-red!
A dignified middle stage martial arts master was killed by Lin Nan with a single slash!
The hall was silent.
The method of becoming a Sword Immortal was completely beyond the imagination of mortals.
Lin Jinxiong and his son were stupefied, their mouths hanging wide open. In their eyes, no matter how strong a martial uncle was, he could only fight against a dozen or so ordinary people, no other than his sturdy body.
However, this Sword Kinesis Flying Immortal directly refreshed their view of the world!
Lin Fu stammered, "Lin Nan, is he an immortal?"
Lin Jinying's body went limp, collapsing onto the chair.
Even the Eyebrows Elder and the other martial arts master were wide-eyed with shock.
Lin Nan swept his eyes across the crowd calmly, "After all, I still have a trace of the Lin Clan's bloodline, so it is an exception this time. From today onwards, we will not cause trouble, otherwise, this Ceng Ping will be the consequence."
The Lin Family clansmen were silent. Under Lin Nan's ruthless and decisive methods, who would dare to step out and say no?
Elder Xu and the others also re-evaluated Lin Nan's identity. He was a mere 20 year old martial arts master's, a tier 4 Pill Refiner, and he was likely to be from a sect of immortals.
Huangfu Yi muttered: "It's not that the Lin Family is going to produce a dragon, but the Lishui City is going to produce a true dragon!"
Very quickly, Lin Nan and a group of martial arts master left the birthday banquet. In the hall, Ceng Ping's body was lying on the ground, and had dyed the blanket red.
Lin Jinhong looked at Master Liu with the last sliver of hope in his heart, "My scoundrel nephew is committing murder in broad daylight, I hope that Master Liu can use legal means to punish him."
Master Liu scratched his head, thinking that going against the Door of Immortality was courting death, he carelessly said: "Sorry Brother Lin, I didn't see anything."
The faces of the Lin Clan members turned ashen!
Just then, Zhang Yalin stood up with a cold face and walked out of the hall.
Lin Jinying flew into a rage, "Bitch, where are you going?"
Zhang Yalin scoffed, "The Lin Family does not recognize my son, nor my daughter-in-law, I think it is better for me to leave."
In the blink of an eye, the great hall had become much quieter. On the birthday banquet, Lin Jinying angrily rolled her eyes and fainted.
"Lin Xiaoyou, what plans do you have from now on?"
"The Lin Family treated you so unfairly, why don't you go to my training hall and stay there for a while, and treat it as cultivating your body?"
Lin Nan tactfully refused: "I'm a teacher at the Empyrean Terminus Martial Arts School. I'll be staying there for the next few days."
He sighed and said, "The Empyrean Terminus Martial Arts School, alas, they picked up a big bargain."
Lin Nan looked at the crowd, cupped his fists and said: "Thank you everyone for your support today, in the future, if there's anything that you need my help with, Lin Nan will definitely not refuse."
When the crowd heard this, they smiled and opened their eyes. They had put in a lot of effort to participate in this birthday banquet for the sake of saying those words.
"Oh right, Lin Nan has another request." Lin Nan suddenly said with a stern expression.
Dao Elder Mao Mei and the others all nodded, "Lin Xiaoyou, please speak."
Lin Nan took out a list he prepared beforehand, "I have been in a hurry, there are some precious herbs on there, I hope that everyone can help out."
The bearded leader took it and looked, and said in astonishment: "A thousand year old ginseng, a hundred year old spirit fruit, Lin Xiaoyou is preparing to refine a 'Longevity Pill'?"
Lin Nan laughed but did not say a word, "I'll have to trouble everyone then."
"Although I don't have a hundred-year-old spirit fruit for now, I do have a ninety year old spirit fruit in the training hall. I'll send it to you tonight."
"Thank you, Taoist Priest." Lin Nan raised his eyebrows slightly. The reason why he wanted these things was naturally not to refine pills, but to breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm as soon as possible!
Lin Nan had already mastered the path of immortality, so he wouldn't encounter any bottlenecks during his cultivation. As long as he stored enough spirit energy, he would be able to break through into the next stage.
However, the spiritual qi on this earth was very thin. Without the help of external things, one wouldn't be able to become a Grandmaster within five years!
As for the thousand year ginseng, it was something that had a price but could not be bought. Rather than Lin Nan thinking of a way himself, it would be better to give it to the bearded leader.
As for the ninety year spirit fruit in his hands, although it was slightly less effective, Lin Nan reckoned that he would still be able to break through to the middle stage of martial arts master.
After bidding farewell to the crowd, Lin Nan realized that his mother was waiting for him by the side of the road.
"Mom." Lin Nan said calmly.
He knew his mother must have a lot of questions to ask him.
For example, when did one become a martial arts master? And how did you know him? Or criticize him for being too impulsive today.
But Lin Nan never expected that Zhang Yalin would act like nothing happened, she laughed and said: "Son, what are you eating for lunch?"
Lin Nan was startled, and gratefully looked at his mother.
Zhang Yalin knew that his son had many secrets. Since Lin Nan had grown up, there were some things that one should not ask about unless asked.
Zhang Yalin said as she walked, "Mother has accumulated a lot of savings over the years. When we open a small restaurant in a few days, son, you should come and support us."
"That's for sure." Lin Nan laughed. His mother was planning on leaving the Lin Family for good. However, this was good as well, as she enjoyed peace and quiet!
At the Old Xu Hotel.
In a private room on the second floor, as Lin Nan ate, he said: "Mom, I have something to ask you."
"Go ahead." Zhang Yalin said.
"Why would the Lin Clan be so against us?" Lin Nan was a little doubtful, as if ever since he could remember, Lin Jinying had never shown him a good look, as if he was part of a family.
Zhang Yalin was silent for a moment, as though her mind was wandering. Finally, she put down her chopsticks and sighed.
"My dad?" Lin Nan scratched his head. His father had died when he was very young, the only impression he had was that black and white photo of him in the sacrificial hall.
"Yes." Zhang Yalin nodded, "Actually, when mother was young, she liked to sing. She could be considered a little star."
"There's such a thing?" Lin Nan opened his mouth wide, this was the first time he heard of this.
"It's all in the past now." Zhang Yalin laughed bitterly, "You also know that circle is a mess. In the end, when Mom met your father, she left and became a housewife."
"At that time, your dad was very outstanding and practiced martial arts just like you. I've seen your dad in the bar fighting dozens of hooligans by himself."
"Formidable." Lin Nan couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
However, why did such a powerful person die so early?
Lin Nan had asked his about the reason before, but his mother never mentioned it.
Zhang Yalin's expression darkened, "The marriage hasn't been half a year when your father suddenly said that she was going to a gathering of friends. I asked him who that friend was, but he refused to tell me."
"The next day, the police came to say that your father had been shot dead."
Lin Nan slammed his hand on the table, his eyes flashed with a cold light: "Who did it?" With Lin Nan's current abilities, killing someone was not an easy task.
Zhang Yalin shook her head, "She was a suitor of mother's before, and I rejected her several times. I thought that after we got married, he would give up, but who would have thought that after asking your father out, such a thing happened."
"He seems to have taken drugs, and he was drunk, and he killed your father by accident. He was sentenced to life in prison and is still in jail."
Lin Nan frowned, "Insanity? He prepared the gun in advance. It was premeditated. "
"Yes." Zhang Yalin said heavily: "Mom also feels that something is amiss. He is usually a rather gentle person, why would he suddenly change his personality if he doesn't smoke or drink?"
"Have you seen him? What did he say? " Lin Nan asked.
Zhang Yalin sighed, "Back then, mother had visited him a few times, but he always kept her mouth shut and did not say anything."
"Something's fishy." Lin Nan knocked the table. He squinted his eyes and thought that he had to go to the prison to find out the truth!
Time flew by quickly. In the evening, Lin Nan received a call from the bearded man, a disciple of the training hall gave him a small box.
He opened the box and inside was a sparkling, rosy fruit the size of a fist.
The ninety year spirit fruit was filled with a large amount of innate spiritual energy.
Lin Nan carefully observed and discovered that the quality of the spirit fruit was much better than what he had imagined!
Without further ado, he immediately found a nearby hotel to prepare for breaking through to the next realm.
After pulling the curtains, Lin Nan reminded the owner not to let anyone disturb him and started to eat the Spirit Fruit.
As he bit down, the fruit became sweet and refreshing and juicy in his mouth. Soon after, a burning sensation rose from his lower abdomen as a thick white mist rose around Lin Nan.
He closed his eyes and entered the ethereal state. The white mist was slowly absorbed into his meridians along with the circulation of his dantian.
After approximately half a quarter of an hour, Lin Nan's body was drenched in sweat, but when he opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashed past his eyes, and his entire person's aura became even more restrained and profound.
Lin Nan raised two of his fingers and shouted towards the barbell used for training: "Rise!"
The 40 kilograms of iron equipment immediately floated up, Lin Nan controlled his Qi, allowing the barbell to spin a circle, and then fall.
He nodded his head in satisfaction, "It's much easier to control the flying sword than it was this morning. However, nurturing the Intrinsic Flying Sword will have to wait until the Grandmaster arrives."
As long as one had not reached the Grandmaster Realm, leaving one's inner strength would still be a cheap trick. Only when one had become a Grandmaster would one have the ability to protect themselves.
Once one had reached the Innate Realm, cultivators could use all kinds of treasures. Sword cultivators could nurture Intrinsic Flying Sword and take a person's life at a distance of a thousand miles, their battle power would increase by many times.
Other than the spirit fruit, the disciples of training hall had also brought over the black cauldron which was used to refine pills.
