Lin Xu and Li Shiwei sorted and bundled the dried medicinal herbs together, and then stacked them neatly in front of the house.

As soon as the two of them finished their work, Lin Xu suddenly saw three men appear at the entrance of the Medicine Valley, walking in his direction. Lin Xuan didn't know those three people, and he suddenly became alert. He immediately told Li Shiwei: "Senior brother, someone has come into the Medicine Valley. ”

As soon as Lin Xu's words fell, Li Shiwei didn't even have time to see clearly, when he heard one of the three people shouting loudly: "Li Shiwei, Hall Master Zhao has arrived, come over to greet him!"

The man shouted in a commanding tone, which made Lin Xuan feel particularly harsh when he heard it. It's just that he didn't know what the situation was for the time being, so he had to hold back for the time being and wait and see what happened.

Among the three people who walked over, the man who walked in front was the tallest, and he was half a head taller than Lin Xu. The clothes on his body are also particularly gorgeous, and he is not an ordinary person at first glance. As he walked, he apparently deliberately tilted his face up, making him look like he was on top of the earth and could not be beaten.

The two people who followed him were a teenager of the same age as Lin Xu, and the other was a middle-aged man of the same age as Li Shiwei.

It was the middle-aged man behind him who shouted loudly just now. When Li Shiwei saw him, he immediately frowned, as if he felt particularly disgusted, but he had to step forward and ask very unceremoniously and directly: "Zheng Bujun, what are you looking for me? Now I don't owe you any money." ”

Lin Xu followed closely beside Li Shiwei. As soon as he heard Li Shiwei call out Zheng Bujun's name, he immediately remembered it. It turned out that this middle-aged man specialized in loan sharking, and Li Shiwei did owe him money before, but later, with the help of Lin Xu, he had already paid it back.

In fact, Lin Xuan had also met Zheng Bujun before, but he was very resistant to this kind of person in his heart, and he didn't want to deal with him, so he didn't take it to heart.

"Hehe, Li Shiwei, this time it's not me looking for you, it's Hall Master Zhao looking for you. I just followed Hall Master Zhao over to watch the show. Zheng Bujun replied to Li Shiwei in a strange way.

The man who walked in front just now was the hall master Zhao in Zheng Bujun's mouth, and his name was Yue Chenjie. Lin Xu didn't know him, but Li Shiwei did.

Zhao Chenjie is the inner disciple of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect and the hall master of the Thousand Fan Hall. In fact, including the medicine valley where Lin Xu is now, as well as the stone field where he once stayed, they are all under the control of Qianfan Hall. It's just that Zhao Chenjie rarely showed up in the past, so Lin Xuan didn't know about his existence until today.

Zhao Chenjie didn't seem interested in the conversation between Li Shiwei and Zheng Bujun. He didn't even glance at Li Shiwei, but instead looked directly at Lin Xu, who had been standing beside Li Shiwei.

Suddenly, Zhao Chenjie raised his right hand and pointed at Lin Xu, turned his head and asked Zheng Bujun: "Zheng Bujun, is the person you are talking about?"

"My lord, that's right, it's him!" Zheng Bujun first replied to Zhao Chenjie with a smiling face, and then changed his face and ordered Lin Xu loudly: "Lin Xu, when you see your lord, why don't you hurry up and salute and say hello?"

Seeing Zheng Bujun's hateful face and hearing his voice full of command, Lin Xuan only felt very disgusted, and immediately started a fire and scolded Zheng Bujun loudly: "Dog fighting people, shut your dog's mouth, Lao Tzu can't take your turn to support you." ”

"Senior brother, don't be angry, there's no need to worry about this kind of person. Li Shiwei hurriedly persuaded Lin Xu. He was not afraid that Lin Xu would collide with Zheng Bujun, but that he was afraid of offending Zhao Chenjie. After all, it also depends on the owner to beat the dog, and now Zheng Bujun is one of Zhao Chenjie's dogs. Lin Xu is now scolding Zheng Bujun, and Zhao Chenjie is definitely not happy in his heart.

After Zheng Bujun heard Lin Xu's words, he couldn't help but feel angry and surprised. He definitely didn't expect that Lin Xu, a young boy, would actually scold himself in front of so many people, he was really ruthless. He was immediately so angry that his face turned red, obviously a sign of qi and blood surging, and he almost couldn't help but rush up to fight Lin Xu.

However, Zhao Chenjie looked calm as usual, his face did not change, and he still had an indifferent expression that seemed to be smiling. He raised his right hand and made a stopping gesture at Zheng Bujun, signaling Zheng Bujun not to act rashly for the time being.

Zheng Bujun saw Zhao Chenjie's gesture, and really didn't dare to make a mistake. Even if he hated Lin Xu, he could only hold back. Zhao Chenjie didn't let him do it, then he definitely didn't have the courage to do it to Lin Xu privately.

Afterwards, Zhao Chenjie said to Lin Xu: "Hehe, yes, the young man really has courage." It turns out that you are Lin Xu. ”

Immediately, Zhao Chenjie said to Li Shiwei in a slight reproachful tone: "Li Shiwei, this is your mistake." There is such a capable disciple in the Medicine Valley, you should also inform me as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, my lord, there is indeed negligence on the part of you. Li Shiwei had to salute Zhao Chenjie and nodded in acknowledgement.

Li Shiwei said that, and immediately glanced at Lin Xu, and reminded softly at the same time: "Senior brother, let's give a salute first." ”

Lin Xuan knew that Li Shiwei had good intentions, and he was worried that he would offend Zhao Chenjie again if he was reckless, and he would not have a good life in the Medicine Valley, or even in the Thousand Ice Sword Sect in the future. He didn't give Zhao Chenjie face, but he also had to give Li Shiwei face.

Now that Li Shiwei has spoken, he will do it for the time being. So he also followed Li Shiwei's example, hugged Zhao Chenjie with both fists, and shouted loudly: "Lin Xu has seen Lord Zhao!"

Zhao Chenjie couldn't help but feel very surprised when he saw that Lin Xuan was neither humble nor arrogant, and his bearing was extraordinary, which was very different from the young people he had seen before, and at the same time, he had to admire Lin Xu.

Among all the outer disciples of the Thousand Ice Sword Sect, none of them dared to speak to Zhao Chenjie on an equal footing without any scruples like Lin Xu, without even lowering his head. For this alone, even Zhao Chenjie himself had to secretly admire.

"Lin Xu, I came to you today, I just want to confirm one thing to you, you just need to tell me truthfully. Zhao Chenjie said to Lin Xu very seriously.

"Master Li wants to confirm something, so you might as well say it directly. Lin Xu still said to Zhao Chenjie with a calm face.

"I heard Zheng Bujun say, do you have two pills, the Quenching Pill and the Yuan Qi Pill?" Zhao Chenjie asked Lin Xudao.

Zhao Chenjie had just finished asking, but Lin Xu didn't have time to respond, only to hear Zheng Bujun and immediately rushed to say, "I have inquired very clearly." The gold coins that Li Shiwei used to pay off his debts before were obtained after you sold the Quenching Pill and the Yuanqi Pill in the bazaar, and now you don't want to deny it. ”

Obviously, Zheng Bujun was worried that Lin Xu would not admit this matter, which would make him lose his trust in Zhao Chenjie. That was a very serious matter for him. Naturally, he would not allow such a situation to happen, so he first gave Lin Xuan a dismount, so that Lin Xuan had no way out.

In fact, at this time, Lin Xuan didn't want to hide it anymore, so it was better to admit it happily. Anyway, he has to deal with a bastard villain like Zheng Bujun, and there are many ways.

"Lord Zhao, I did have some pills in the past, but in order to pay off my debts and buy exercises, I have sold them all. Lin Xuan said these half-truths and half-truths to Zhao Chenjie, and the perfunctory meaning was indeed obvious.

Of course, Lin Xu hated Zheng Bujun very much, but he had to consider Li Shiwei's situation, and he didn't want Li Shiwei to be embarrassed, so it was inconvenient to get angry immediately.

Although Zhao Chenjie was an inner disciple and the hall master of Qianfan Hall, Lin Xu had no fear of him and would not be afraid of him at all. If he really made a move, Lin Xuan might not lose to him. As for low-level monks like Zheng Bujun, he wouldn't take it seriously.

"And how many more of these elixirs do you have? I can pay a lot of money, no less than you can sell at the market. Zhao Chenjie then asked Lin Xudao. He was obviously suspicious, and he didn't quite believe what Lin Xuan had just said, he was really an old fox.

"Lord Zhao, if I still have the elixir now, I will naturally take it out for you. But as I said earlier, it's all sold out, which is a pity. Lin Xu said it very seriously, and it didn't look like a lie at all.

Although Lin Xu's space ring still had countless precious pills of all kinds, he didn't want to deal with people like Zhao Chenjie, lest there would be a second time after having one.

Moreover, Lin Xu had already seen that Zhao Chenjie was by no means a person who traded fairly, and he would not believe what he had just said about making a big deal. If he really took out the pill and gave it to him, he might not even get a single gold coin. It's better to reject him outright.

While Lin Xu was talking, Zhao Chenjie had been staring at Lin Xu's expression, and was surprised to find that Lin Xu's expression had not changed at all. In his experience, a person would never be able to be so calm when he was lying.

But he decided that Lin Xuan didn't tell him the truth completely. This can only be explained by the fact that Lin Xu's concentration is different from ordinary people, it is very powerful, and even a person with sword spiritual cultivation like him can't see it. Lin Xuan is really leaky.

"Okay, even if you sell out of pills. Then where did your previous elixir come from?" Zhao Chenjie changed the question instead.

Generally speaking, a peripheral disciple like Lin Xuan didn't have the ability to refine the pill at all. So the source of his elixir is indeed questionable.

"It was by chance that I went into the mountains and met a senior who was destined to give it to me. Lin Xuan replied to Zhao Chenjie expressionlessly.

"Oh, you're lucky. How many people dream of the elixir, but you have it at your fingertips. Zhao Chenjie expressed a little surprise, and then asked, "What is the name of the senior you met?"

"I don't know his exact name, only that his nickname is the Loose God. Lin Xu replied.

As soon as Lin Xu's words fell, when he saw Zheng Bujun, he couldn't help but jump out to express his suspicions, and said: "Lin Xu, you are talking nonsense, the god of freedom is an ancient god, and he has long disappeared, how can you meet him? ”
