Ascending to Immortality by Slaying Spirits

Chapter 47: The Fat and the Skinny Brothers
After sorting the harvest, the Hun Tian Ling automatically flew out, wrapping the ungraded medicinal herbs, and extracting all their juices amidst the rising blood flames.

'It seems I could learn some alchemy techniques.' This thought couldn't help but pop into Lin Le's mind.

He also happened to have a copy of the alchemy technique, which he had scavenged from the Xiang family's pharmacist. Although it wasn't very profound, it should be enough for him to get started.

'Let's see if I can practice later. Qingli is right. Relying on killing, burning, and looting all the time isn't the right path,' Lin Le thought to himself, and then took the divided pills in batches.

Now, ungraded pills are treated the same as ordinary food, only good enough to be extracted to form Qi and Blood Elixir. Only graded pills can form Elixir Elixir.

The precious liquid of qi and blood dripped down, and immediately transformed into true qi in the Lingtai Secret Realm, forming pieces of jade.

After the ordinary pills were digested, the Hun Tian Ling had just finished extracting the medicinal materials.

Lin Le tilted his head back and drank a large amount of the medicine. After a few gulps, he finished the medicine completely.

The internal organs are like a furnace, quickly digesting them.

"Here you go." Qingli then handed the newly forged tiger bone spear to Lin Le.

Lin Le took it, twirled it a few times, and found it much easier to handle.

"Thank you, please take me to the other two prefectures," Lin Le said to Qing Li.

"Okay." Qingli blew a bubble and left with Lin Le.

An hour later.

"Spare me, ah!"

The spear pierced the head of the last wealthy man in Qinghu Town, and Lin Le pulled it out expressionlessly.

'What a dog-eat-dog world!'

Lin Le glanced at the increased merit points and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Honestly, after killing so many people, he has rarely encountered anyone who doesn't give him merit after he kills them, and most of them are the young offspring of his enemies.

After patting the well nine times, Lin Le asked Qing Li to come out and clean up.

"You've killed all the powerful figures in Qinghu Town, where are you going next?" Qingli asked.

Lin Le looked in a certain direction: "Back to Bailian County."

"The Xiang family has a Qi Refining Realm expert on the tenth floor," Qingli reminded her.

“He has to be willing to come out.” Lin Le turned around. “He’s just a dying old man. Unless the Xiang family is on the verge of extinction, he probably won’t make a move.”

"Just be careful. If you encounter any danger, just jump into the well. I can still guarantee your safety at the bottom of the well," Qingli said.

"Thank you," Lin Le said, looking at Qing Li.

"No need to thank me, it's just a win-win situation." Qingli shook her head and nudged Lin Le with her head. "Just give me more yang energy."

"Understood." Lin Le turned his head. "Would you like to help transport the bodies to the Yan family's residence?"

"What do you need these corpses for, to refine them?" Qingli asked, puzzled.

"Let's send them on their way one last time," Lin Le said softly, looking at the corpses on the ground.

At the Yan family's residence, corpses piled up like small mountains. Lin Le operated the Dao Yin Building while waiting for the moon to rise.

However, before the moon rose, he received an unexpected guest.

Lin Le opened her eyes and looked at the corner of the wall.

Two brothers, of different builds but with similar appearances, stood on the wall, one holding a knife and the other a sword.

They looked at Lin Le with wary expressions, their faces showing both suspicion and confusion.

At this moment, Lin Le appeared with his original appearance, exuding a heroic air with a touch of childishness, making it easy to see that he was a young man who had just come of age.

His skin was as tender as a baby's, his hair was jet black and tied in a ponytail, his eyes were long and narrow like phoenix eyes, and his eyebrows were thick and delicate. Overall, he looked like a dragon with phoenix eyes, exquisite and handsome, making people want to say, "What a beautiful young man!" But such a beautiful young man was sitting in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood. In particular, his lips were thin and delicate, yet he had a smile on his face. Just looking at him, one could feel an indescribable evil aura.

"Who are you, and why are you in this Yan residence!" one of the slightly fat men shouted at Lin Le.

"And who are you?" Lin Le retorted. "What business do you have at the Yan residence?"

"We're here to investigate the destruction of Changsheng Medicine Manor. We're here because Yan Dahai invited us to a banquet." The slightly overweight man glanced at the pile of corpses. "But I don't think we'll be able to have this banquet tonight."

Lin Le's expression remained calm: "The Xiang family?"

"I suppose so, just a paid offering." The slightly overweight man said, drawing his sword and pointing it at Lin Le. "You should at least introduce yourself, kid."

"Lin Chang'an's son, Lin Le." Lin Le stood up and flicked his sleeves. "Do you all remember him?"

"Lin Chang'an?" The slightly overweight man looked puzzled, feeling that the name sounded familiar.

But the thinner one seemed to realize something: "Your father is Mr. Lin, the one who often writes letters for people for free?"

"Yes." Lin Le nodded slightly.

"So you're Mr. Lin's son. No wonder you look so good," the skinny man was about to continue praising him when he suddenly realized, "Wait a minute, wasn't Mr. Lin's entire family wiped out by that demon? How are you still alive?"

"You don't know?" Lin Le tilted his head.

"What do you know?" The skinny man pulled the fat man back a little, he had a bad feeling.

"My family was wiped out by a fox spirit, while your Xiang family secretly captures martial artists from other places to feed to demons, and those demons are also foxes." Lin Le smiled, but his smile was devoid of warmth, filled with coldness. "Guess how connected these things are?"

The skinny man gave an awkward laugh: "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Even if the Xiang family raises demons, it doesn't necessarily mean they're going to kill the one in your family."

"Is that so? What if I said my father has some connection with the county magistrate, and the Xiang family has some connection with the county lieutenant?" Lin Le said leisurely.

The thin man and the fat man froze, because it was a well-known fact throughout the county that the magistrate and the county constable were at odds.

If the Xiang family were to eliminate dissidents, they might actually target Lin Chang'an.

"Haha, you're quite the joker." The fat man chuckled. "You guessed that all of this is based on the Xiang family raising monsters. We're all worshippers of the Third Floor, how could we not know whether the Xiang family raises monsters or not?"

His heart skipped a beat, because he had indeed seen something, but he didn't dare to investigate further.

"Who knows?" Lin Le raised his gun. "You came here to investigate the destruction of the Longevity Medicine Manor, so I'll just tell you directly that I destroyed it."

"Brother, let's go!"

As soon as Lin Le finished speaking, the skinny man grabbed the fat man and jumped out of the Yan residence.

He realized that Lin Le was completely consumed by murderous intent and was showing signs of going mad; the corpses all over the courtyard were the best proof of that.

Moreover, Yan Dahai is a third-level cultivator. Even if his foundation is poor, he is still a third-level cultivator. If the two of them dare to oppose Lin Le, one of them might die here.

With the meager offerings available to him, who would risk their life for him?
Golden light flickered in Lin Le's palm, but then dimmed, and he just watched them escape quietly.

"Aren't you going to chase after them?" Qingli asked, leaning down beside Lin Le.

“We can’t catch up, and these two seem to have some connections,” Lin Le said calmly. He sensed a much stronger sense of danger from these two than from Yan Dahai.

If war really breaks out, he will most likely be severely injured, and being severely injured at this time is not good news for him.

“If they are still working for the Xiang family, we will eventually run into them again. We can kill them then.” Lin Le turned to look at the pile of corpses, where a strong sense of resentment and yin energy was rising.

"By imperial decree, Your Majesty, I command you to save your lonely souls and all others, and hasten your rebirth." Lin Le's body radiated golden light, dispelling the resentment and yin energy.

Ten points of merit from the underground path entered the inner realm.

Lin Le stared coldly at the pile of corpses. Want to become a ghost? No way!
