Immortality and cultivation begin with alchemy and accounting.

However, he outwardly flattered him, saying, "Brother Xuanlin's alchemy skills are quite good; he should have a chance to compete for this No. 8 Fire Vein."

"Hmph!" Bai Xuanlin snorted coldly, then said with some arrogance, "Among the younger generation under thirty in the Alchemy Hall, I consider myself to be among the top five in alchemy skills!"

"But there's only one Fire Vein of C8... Bai Xuanjin and Bai Xuanluo, when they were apprentices in the Alchemy Hall, their strength was already above mine. This time when they returned home, they must have brought back more Yellow Jade Pills than I did."

"So... I'd like to borrow something from you, Brother Xuanjing!"

Bai Xuanjing narrowed his eyes slightly. "Oh, borrow what?"

"Huang Yudan!"

As soon as Bai Xuanlin finished speaking, he suddenly launched an attack. A small shuttle the size of a palm flew out from his palm and shot towards Bai Xuanjing.

Bai Xuanjing snorted coldly, having expected this.

Clang!

A clang of metal clashing rang out, and the next moment, Bai Xuanlin's magical artifact was sent flying by Bai Xuanjing!

"you!"

Bai Xuanlin was taken aback, even though his cultivation level was lower than Bai Xuanjing's.

But in his mind, even if he couldn't kill Bai Xuanjing in one blow by sneaking up on him, he should at least be able to seriously injure Bai Xuanjing!

"You expected this!" Bai Xuanlin's gaze turned slightly cold as he realized what she meant.

Bai Xuanjing sneered, not replying, but instead wielding the Azure Scale Sword to strike Bai Xuanlin.

At the same time, Bai Xuanjing condensed his magic power in his palm, and a water snake emerged, coiling towards Bai Xuanlin.

In an instant, the grass, trees, and broken stones on the ground were swept away by the howling wind.

The moment the water snake was launched, a rhinestone quickly took shape and merged into the water snake.

These are some of Bai Xuanjing's little tricks when practicing magic.

Use both the Water Drill and Water Snake techniques together.

The water snake technique is impressive and easily attracts attention, while the water drill technique, which is inherently more concealed, is easily overlooked.

This makes it easy to create some surprises.

"Hahaha, you don't think I'd dare to lay a hand on you alone, do you? I've made some friends overseas over the years!"

Although his voice remained arrogant, Bai Xuanlin was still forced to dodge Bai Xuanjing's frequent attacks.

"How can his magic be so powerful!"

Sensing the power of the Water Serpent Technique, Bai Xuanlin was filled with fear and a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

He came from a family of alchemists, so his practice of magic was inferior, and he spent relatively little time and energy on it.

Therefore, he assumed that Bai Xuanjing should be the same.

But after he actually took over, he realized that he seemed to have misjudged the situation!

Fortunately, at this moment, two powerful bursts of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from the left.

The familiar magical artifact light from Bai Xuanlin shot rapidly toward this side.

Behind the ritual implements were two figures, a man and a woman.

He immediately felt relieved. "The Moon-Slaying Companion is quite a famous cultivator in the outer seas. They've killed no fewer than three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators. It's not a pity that you died at their hands!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt an even stronger surge of magical power erupt.

Immediately afterwards, a cluster of azure light flashed, directly blocking the magical artifact of Zhan Yue Dao Luan.

Then two more figures jumped out and started fighting with Zhan Yue's partner.

One of them was a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining!

"Late stage of Qi Refining!"

Bai Xuanlin's expression changed drastically.

However, he soon had no time to be distracted.

Bai Xuanjing's attacks were simply too fierce; the Azure Scale Sword alone rendered him unable to retaliate.

The water snake technique was even more ferocious, and it was already closing in on him.

He quickly took out two talismans and slapped them in front of him; both were first-tier, low-grade defensive talismans.

The water snake collided with the shield formed by the defensive talisman, instantly unleashing a surge of powerful spiritual energy that dispersed in all directions.

After a loud bang, the water snake disappeared, and Bai Xuanlin was overjoyed.

But the next moment, a blue rhinestone appeared in front of him.

"what!"

Bai Xuanlin had no time to dodge and was directly hit in the groin by the water drill.

The next moment, the rhinestone exploded!

puff!

A sound of flesh being torn apart rang out.

Baek Hyun-rim's left leg exploded into a bloody mist, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood before completely losing consciousness.

Looking at the unconscious Bai Xuanlin, Bai Xuanjing snorted coldly.

Lu Jinyan's worries were unfounded; Bai Xuanlin was a cultivator from the Bai family.

If he truly died in front of the Lu family cultivators, without any evidence, it's like smearing soybean paste on his pants—if it wasn't excrement, it could only be considered excrement.

Therefore, we must leave them alive.

The specifics are to be determined by the family.

The Bai family has clear rules and regulations; they will not let disciples who violate the rules go unpunished, nor will they mistreat disciples who have been wronged.

Even if Bai Xuanlin isn't killed, Bai Xuanjing won't let him return to the Bai family unharmed; that's why he first cuts off one of his thigh legs.

Although Bai Xuanlin had fainted, Bai Xuanjing did not let his guard down.

He first used his magic to sweep Bai Xuanlin's magical artifact, the small shuttle, into his hand, severing his connection with Bai Xuanlin.

He then channeled his magic into the Azure Scale Sword, preparing to unleash its power to prevent Bai Xuanlin from feigning unconsciousness.

Lu Jinyan is a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining, skilled in combat, and a demon hunter who has been hunting for many years.

It was no surprise that he could deal with a Qi Refining Level 5 expert and a Qi Refining Level 4 expert.

Just as Bai Xuanjing finished her work, Lu Jinyan used his magic to bring Zhan Yue Dao Companion to Bai Xuanjing's side.

Bai Xuanjing didn't witness the actual battle at all.

"Xuanjing, this has been taken care of."

Lu Jinyan threw the unconscious Zhan Yue Daoist partner on the ground.

Then he saw Bai Xuanlin's miserable condition, especially noticing that one of Bai Xuanlin's thighs had disappeared.

He was momentarily moved and took a deep look at Bai Xuanjing.

Then he gathered his magical power and, with a swift stroke of his magic weapon, a long sword, severed the thighs of Zhan Yue and his companion!

His technique was so skillful, it was like slaughtering chickens and dogs!

The purpose of doing this is very simple: to prevent Zhan Yue Dao Lu from escaping after waking up.

The meridians in a cultivator's body are complex, with many intertwined and interwoven in the legs.

Having one's limbs severed will disrupt the flow of spiritual energy, making it impossible to regain previous strength in a short period of time.

Even after recuperating and adapting to the state of losing limbs, due to the physical disability, there is basically no possibility of further advancement in cultivation!

Unless a remedy for regenerating severed limbs was used.

This kind of pill is extremely rare; it must be at least a second-tier pill, and it is not even found in the Bai family's collection.

Lu Jinyan spared their lives only to make it easier for them to return to the Bai family and be questioned by the Bai family elders.

Given the Bai family's ruthless and protective nature, they would certainly not let two rogue cultivators from the outer seas who intended to harm their own disciples return alive.

Upon seeing this bloody scene, Lu Jinxiu frowned slightly.

She didn't often witness such bloody scenes, but she had no objection to Lu Jinyan's handling of the situation.

Bai Xuanjing's gaze shifted to the storage bags at the waists of Bai Xuanlin and the other two. "Brother Jinyan, you were the ones who captured and killed this evil cultivator from the outer sea. Why don't you keep these storage bags?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyan smiled faintly and said, "When we return to the Bai family, we will have to take these people to the Clan Guard Hall to report. Let's leave the storage bags on them to avoid causing any resentment among your family elders."

"Anyway, they're just storage bags belonging to a few early or mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators, so they probably don't have anything good in them."

Since Lu Jinyan was so frank, Bai Xuanjing naturally didn't say anything more.

"This place has been the site of a battle, and the fluctuations in spiritual energy can travel very far. It would be bad if others encountered it. Even in the inland sea, a remote place is not safe!"

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jinyan looked around and then took out a first-grade low-level net magic artifact.

Many gleaming silver hooks were hung from the nodes of the net, clearly intended for hunting sea monsters.
