Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Lin Shu turned and walked down the hill to stand in front of the group.

He flicked his palm slightly, and the blade, its hilt stained with blood, rang up and slid steadily into the sheath at Chang Yi's waist.

"Next time, either don't pull it out, or just cut it off directly." Lin Shu casually wiped the grime off his palms on his sleeve.

This can be inferred from the words spoken by the wolves earlier.

It was obvious that someone knew about Blackie's background, so they wouldn't easily take action; they just wanted to drive him away.

But the hint worth eighty-two merit points subtly revealed Chang Yi's final choice.

The two were not related, so Lin Shu felt it was difficult to comment on this behavior.

At least in the eyes of the people who were arrested, this young boy should be an excellent constable.

"I'm afraid they'll take advantage of me..." Chang Yi finally snapped out of his daze from that terrifying scene.

"Humans are not gods; how can they be perfect in everything and leave no room for error?"

Lin Shu wiped his palms clean, and a hint of roguishness appeared in his eyes as he spoke: "If you know something is impossible, but you still can't get over it in your heart and insist on courting death, then... killing one is not a loss, exchanging two is a huge profit."

To put it bluntly, we're all going to die eventually anyway.

I'm already risking my life, I can't let myself be mistreated, that would be too much of a loss.

Upon hearing this...

Chang Yi looked somewhat dazed.

He looked down at his waist, his hand touching the sticky hilt of the knife.

The first lesson is to know what is important and what is not; the second lesson is to be flexible.

Now we've finally arrived at the third lesson, called...

Don't hesitate!

Since we have already made preparations within our capabilities, let's go for it and not hesitate.

Regardless of the outcome, I only seek peace of mind.

Chang Yi suddenly exerted force with his five fingers and gripped the knife hilt tightly.

He raised his head and said earnestly, "I have learned a great deal from Brother Xie Lin's guidance over the past few days!"

"Um?"

Lin Shu raised her eyelids slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Several times? What does that mean?

After a moment, he gently shook his head.

Forget it, I'd better not try to understand a person with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), it's easy to mess with my brain.

"There's still some time before dawn, can we move these people back to the yamen?"

Lin Shu composed himself and looked at the corpse on the mountain. He had come here today with the intention of hiding his identity to save people and earn some merit.

But since Chang Yi happened to be here, it saved a lot of trouble.

I've always disliked those swindlers anyway, so I might as well make the dirty money too.

"No, no problem."

Chang Yi turned his gaze back to the hill, then suddenly realized something, and his expression changed slightly.

The Cunning Fox Gang seems to have hands and feet all over the city, their shadow can be seen everywhere.

But in reality, most things are done by the people under his command.

For example, the opera troupe that Brother Lin used to work for was just one of the more insignificant ways that swindlers used to make money.

There aren't actually many core members; almost all of them are here.

In other words, it seems the Cunning Fox Clan has been wiped out...

Three of the Blackwater Gang's four main branches were hacked down by Brother Lin with his knife!

Recalling the black mist that had covered the entire mountainside, Chang Yi found it hard to believe that a Qi Refining stage cultivator could use such a technique.

In comparison, his own strength, despite being at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, was simply pathetic.

Chang Yi swallowed hard.

But... things seem to have gotten a bit out of hand.

Just thinking about the expressions on his superiors' and aunt's faces when the officials saw this pile of corpses made him panic.

"Officer, we can help."

The peasants from the southern suburbs finally found their chance and, still feeling apprehensive, stepped forward.

They looked at the two men with awe.

The constable is a good constable, and this Wolf Lord is also, uh, a ruthless and merciless Wolf Lord who kills without blinking an eye.

Those who live in a stinking quagmire understand better than anyone how difficult it is to survive.

They were just a bunch of down-on-their-luck people, and in the eyes of such people, what value did they have to be exploited? That's why their rescue was all the more precious.

Now that they have the opportunity, they want to do something.

Of course... there was also the fear of being retaliated against by the Blackwater Gang if they left, and the instinctive reason to cling to the government as a lifeline.

"Brother Lin, I'll go now!"

Chang Yi gritted his teeth, suppressing his shock, knowing that this matter could not be delayed.

With so many people killed in the Blackwater Gang, they are bound to retaliate, and the authorities must prepare in advance.

Moreover, the people imprisoned in Gusonggang should be released as soon as possible and properly resettled, lest they become victims of the gang's wrath.

"Go."

Lin Shu has no plans to return to the city for the time being.

He watched as everyone quickly got to work, then turned and left, finding a secluded spot.

So many gang members died at Gusonggang, but the Blackwater Gang didn't know that Chang Yi had come alone, and most likely thought it was an operation arranged by the government.

It can slightly obscure the view.

However, this was not done very cleverly, and within a few days at most, those people would definitely realize that something was wrong.

Besides, there are less than ten hours left until Xia Mingtang's birthday.

Tomorrow, the tiger will receive news of the trouble that happened to Baixin Shouli.

With his alchemy project ruined, he will most likely become the madman Gu Nanzhi described.

Time is running out.

The group of Hongyun Martial Arts School youths who were released earlier are probably one of the "materials" for this batch of pills.

Furthermore, Lin Shuke had no intention of obediently sending the pregnant woman from the Zhao family to this tiger.

If we do that, wouldn't we be making money through good deeds but bad deeds for nothing?

But with several things combined, it becomes clear who this raging tiger will unleash its fury upon.

"If you don't want to have a proper birthday celebration, then turn it into a funeral."

In a secluded spot, Lin Shu sat cross-legged, a cold glint in her eyes.

One by one, jade coins emitting a milky white light rose up and swirled around him.

He slightly bent his finger, and a blue feather floated out from his body.

This feather has consumed nearly fifty merits and has reached the sixth-grade perfection realm.

Compared to the phantom wolf, the speed of improvement is not fast.

But at this moment, a hundred jade coins transformed into a rainbow, surging wildly into it and smashing through the barrier with unstoppable force.

Not only did the grade increase, but the proficiency also broke through layer by layer.

[Qi Refining Stage 5. Spirit Sparrow Qi Absorption Method: Perfected]

Lin Shu closed her eyes, and the image of the bluebird spreading its wings and soaring into the sky reappeared in her mind.

The opponent's body swelled in the wind, gradually transforming from a small bluebird, less than the size of a palm, into a giant with wingspans of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

Absorb two hundred strands of Qi!

Merit continued to pour in, and another hundred jade coins were thrown down, making the blue sparrow even more lifelike. With a slight flap of its wings, it could stir up the sea of ​​spirits.

[Qi Refining Stage 4. Spirit Sparrow Qi Absorption Method: Perfected]

Absorb three hundred strands of Qi!

After two consecutive infusions, only 155 jade coins remained beside Lin Shu.

"It's exactly what I calculated."

"Not cheap at all."

He sighed inwardly.

The amount of ill-gotten gains spent when deducing the fourth-grade immortal technique is exactly three times the amount of merit points spent now, which is exactly the ratio of three to one.

Based on this, the completion of the burial and soul-sending ceremony relied on Liu Zhen's seventy or eighty ill-gotten coins.

To successfully obtain the technique for the late stage of Qi Refining, the remaining jade coins need to be doubled.

However, there was nowhere else to use good deeds.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, he poured the remaining jade coins into the feather.

Just then, the ten strands of azure energy in the spiritual sea suddenly trembled slightly.

"Um?"

Lin Shu had specifically brought a knife to kill foxes in order to save spiritual energy and avoid using the immortal spiritual energy as much as possible.

The black fog covering the mountains and forests is mostly an illusion.

With his Qi Refining Realm cultivation, even with a top-tier third-grade immortal technique, how could he possibly control such a large area?

In reality, the black mist was only targeting the four ferocious wolves, and it also consumed nearly 50% of its spiritual power.

Fortunately, the ten strands of cyan immortal spiritual energy were saved.

Now, they seem to be playing an unexpected role.

"I've already experienced the late stage of Qi Refining, so I can save some merit points?"

Lin Shu's eyes brightened slightly.

In an instant, his spiritual sea surged, and wisps of white energy changed as they swayed, giving rise to a touch of green from within.

"Hey!"

The magpie soaring in my mind burst into a high-pitched cry.

The mist that lingered among the feathers gradually settled, leaving patterns on its body.

[Qi Refining Grade 3. Spirit Sparrow Foundation Building Technique: Minor Success]

You've broken through!

The three highest-level methods lead directly to the late stage of Qi Refining. Once proficiency is perfected, the day of successful Foundation Establishment will arrive!

Within the spiritual sea, wisps of spiritual energy drifted about, all gleaming with a clear, bright green luster, a truly delightful sight.

Lin Shu's slender fingers clenched slightly.

A mysterious aura, imbued with the essence of immortals, suddenly spread out!
