After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

"Okay, very good."

He took a deep breath and suddenly smiled.

That smile was chillingly cold.

"Then I'll go."

He paused, his gaze fixed intently on Lin Fengmian, and said, word by word:

"But before I leave, I'm going to take this brat's life with me!"

As soon as the words fell—

His aura suddenly erupted!

His cultivation, having reached the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, was unleashed without reservation!

The spiritual pressure was as heavy as a mountain, so heavy that the air itself seemed to freeze!

Xiao Xiyue's expression changed drastically!

"Senior Brother Chen! How dare you!"

She flashed forward, about to stand in front of Lin Fengmian.

But Chen Xuanqing was too fast!

He unleashed a palm strike, his spiritual energy transforming into a gigantic hand that slammed down towards Lin Fengmian!

The palm strike whistled through the air, its power astonishing!

Lin Fengmian merely snorted coldly.

He figured it out a long time ago.

This person wasn't after the elixir from the moment he came in.

The elixir is just an excuse.

His goal from beginning to end has always been to find fault.

"I've been waiting for you for so long."

Lin Fengmian's lips curled into a cold smile.

next moment--

He reached into the storage bag.

A thick stack of talismans appeared in his palm!

Dozens of them!

All of them were top-grade Tier 1 talismans that were seized in the secret realm before!

Chen Xuanqing's pupils contracted sharply when he saw the thick stack of talismans!

"you--"

He hadn't finished speaking.

Lin Fengmian waved his hand!

Dozens of talismans were thrown at Chen Xuanqing like a shower of flowers from a celestial maiden!

Fireball! Ice spikes! Vines! Poison arrows! Wind blades! Lightning!

A dazzling array of magical spells exploded simultaneously, covering the sky and blotting out the sun!

Chen Xuanqing's expression changed drastically. He quickly withdrew his attack and frantically made hand seals, condensing a thick layer of protective spiritual light in front of him!

"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"

Violent explosions rang out one after another, flames shot into the sky, and smoke filled the air!

Chen Xuanqing was forced to retreat repeatedly by the blast, and the protective spiritual light around his body trembled violently, cracks appearing on it!

His face turned ashen, and he was about to retaliate—

However, Lin Fengmian's hand reached for the storage bag again.

Another stack of talismans!

It's even thicker than before!

Nearly a hundred!

They're all second-order!

Although most of them were low-grade Tier 2 inferior items, the power of throwing nearly a hundred of them together was considerable!

Chen Xuanqing was completely dumbfounded when he saw the thick stack of talismans.

Is this guy running a talisman shop?!

"you--"

"Sending you on your way!"

Lin Fengmian let out a cold shout, and once again threw out nearly a hundred talismans like a celestial maiden scattering flowers!

In an instant—

The entire sky above the herb field was covered by colorful magic!

Inferno! Ice storm! Thunderclouds! Poisonous fog!

Various spells intertwined, forming a devastating storm that relentlessly crushed towards Chen Xuanqing!

"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"

The deafening explosion echoed throughout the entire cave!

Chen Xuanqing's roar was drowned out by the sound of the explosion.

By the time he finally weathered the barrage of talismans, he was completely battered and bruised.

"Boom boom boom boom boom—!"

Countless talismans exploded simultaneously in mid-air, and fireballs, ice spikes, lightning, and wind blades intertwined to form a destructive storm, illuminating the entire cave with colorful magical light.

The explosions rang out in rapid succession, shaking the cave walls and causing rubble to fall from above.

Chen Xuanqing was blasted backward, his protective aura trembling violently, and cracks spreading out like a spider web.

His face was ashen, his eyes wide open, filled with disbelief.

This kid—is he throwing talismans like stones?!

He had never seen this style of play before.

In ordinary cultivators' duels, talismans are used sparingly, with a single first-tier talisman costing at least tens of spirit stones. Who would throw them at someone's face like that?

But Lin Fengmian was different. He flicked his hand and threw dozens of talismans, then flicked his hand again and threw nearly a hundred more. It was as if these talismans weren't bought with spirit stones, but were blown in by a strong wind!

"Are you crazy!" Chen Xuanqing roared, desperately circulating his spiritual power to repair the protective aura around his body, but the talisman's attacks were too fierce, wave after wave, giving him no chance to catch his breath.

Lin Fengmian snorted coldly, his hands continuing their work.

Of course, he wouldn't tell the other party that he was a talisman master.

These first-tier talismans cost only a few spirit stones each. The materials he bought at the auction could produce at least several hundred talismans.

To him, these talismans were consumables; he would throw them at his face like they were free, without a second thought.

While Chen Xuanqing was busy dealing with the talismans and had no time to pay attention to anything else, Lin Fengmian glanced around and landed on the spiritual herbs around the medicine field that had not yet been picked.

He flashed through the medicinal herb field like a wisp of smoke.

"Shuashuashua——"

He precisely picked each medicinal herb and smoothly stored it in his storage bag.

Purple Yuncao, Ambergris Fruit, Diyuanhua, Black Ice Grass...

Those rare and precious medicinal herbs, seldom seen in the outside world, were now being harvested by him like cabbages.

Chen Xuanqing was blasted into a sorry state by the talisman and could only watch helplessly as Lin Fengmian plundered spiritual herbs right under his nose. He was furious, but he couldn't spare a hand to stop him.

"You brat! How dare you!"

He roared repeatedly, but the only response he received was a handful of talismans that Lin Fengmian casually tossed out.

"Boom boom boom—"

Another round of intense bombardment ensued.

However, the enormous sound traveled too far within this secret realm.

In the distance, streaks of light began to rush toward this direction.

Some rode swords, some rode beasts, and some walked on air—

A dozen, dozens, or even hundreds of them!

Countless points of light converged from all directions, surging towards the medicinal field like moths to a flame.

Lin Fengmian frowned and quickened his picking speed.

Before long, he had plundered all the medicinal herbs in the vicinity, leaving only those of average quality at the edge of the herb field.

He wasn't greedy; he flashed away and retreated to Xiao Xiyue's side.

And at that very moment—

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out one after another!

A series of figures landed around the medicinal field, completely surrounding the area.

Some of the cultivators were dressed in the robes of the Hehuan Sect, while others wore the robes of the Xuantian Holy Land and the Yuling Sect. Most of them were disciples of various families, their attire varied and their auras mixed.

As soon as they arrived, their eyes fell on the mess on the ground, and then they all looked at Lin Fengmian with greed and covetousness in their eyes.

Chen Xuanqing finally survived the bombardment of talismans, looking disheveled, his clothes tattered, and his hair in disarray, completely lacking the composure he had displayed as the senior brother.

But instead of being angry, he curled up a sinister smile.

He looked around and saw that more and more people were coming. He was overjoyed and suddenly pointed at Lin Fengmian. His voice was loud and clear, and it spread throughout the entire venue.

"Everyone! This is the person! He took advantage of the chaos to steal all the medicinal herbs from the herb field! There were at least a hundred of them! Among them were quite a few second-tier medicinal herbs!"

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the greedy faces of the crowd, and continued to incite them:
