84: Zhao Guizhen came to the door

Inside the courtyard.

Lin Yuan looked at Bi Yuan, who was sprawled on the ground, and slowly said, "Get up. I can overlook what happened before. These two have already paid for their mistakes. If there's a next time, I won't be so lenient."

After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he turned and returned to his room.

"Thank you... Immortal Master for your generosity!"

Bi Yuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, stood up, dusted off the dirt from his clothes, let out a long breath, and ran off immediately. The next morning.

Knock, knock, knock.

Lin Yuan was awakened by a knocking sound.

The visitor was Qiu Rang, who had spent two and a half years Artifact Refining before.

Seeing Lin Yuan open the door, Qiu Rang immediately said, "Immortal Master... breakfast is ready. Would you like to eat something with us?"

"Where's Bi Yuan? Shouldn't he be the one calling me?"

"Ah? Old Man Bi Yuan somehow fell ill last night. He's had a fever all day, so he asked me to come find you instead."

Lin Yuan couldn't help but show a cold smile when he heard this.

This Bi Yuan truly has a small amount of courage. After I scared him yesterday, he doesn't even dare to see me now.

"Thank you for your trouble. Next time, you don't need to call me; I'll go myself."

"Immortal Master, you're too kind. You are a distinguished guest, so of course, you should be treated with courtesy."

...Subsequently, Lin Yuan was led to another large house.

In the spacious hall, numerous tables and chairs were set up. Several men, women, and children of all ages gathered around, taking food from the tables in turns, just like a buffet. They could take whatever they wanted.

When everyone saw Lin Yuan arrive, they quickly stood up to welcome him.

"Immortal Master Lin Yuan! I've long admired your name!"

"Immortal Master Lin Yuan! What would you like to eat? I'll get it for you."

Lin Yuan waved his hand.

"No need, no need. Everyone just take care of yourselves. I'll get it myself."

Lin Yuan kept signaling everyone to sit down, as he prepared to serve himself food. In the kitchen, Fu Rong, dressed in a chef's uniform, stirred chicken soup in a pot with a ladle. Beside her was the little girl, Liu Wukui.

"Oh, has Immortal Master Lin Yuan arrived?"

"This chicken soup has been simmering for quite a while. If he's here, you can take it out."

"Alright."

Just then, Zhao Guizhen, dressed in a Daoist robe, entered the kitchen.

"Immortal Master Lin Yuan is here. The chicken soup should be warm enough, right?"

Fu Rong nodded.

"It's almost ready. I'll take it out now."

"Oh, by the way, where's Village Chief Ma? Why haven't I seen him yet?"

Zhao Guizhen scratched his head thoughtfully.

"I honestly don't know the specifics, but the cultivation furnace exploded last night, did you know?"

Fu Rong nodded.

"I know. Everyone in the chat group was talking about it."

Zhao Guizhen smiled.

"That cultivation furnace is Village Chief Ma's lifeblood. I estimate he's probably figuring out how to fix it right now."

"Never mind, no need to wait for him. Let's eat ourselves."

Saying that, Fu Rong carried the chicken soup out.

"Chicken soup is here!"

Zhao Guizhen personally served a bowl of chicken soup and placed it on Lin Yuan's table.

"Immortal Master Lin Yuan, please have a taste. This is chicken soup personally made by Fu Rong using free-range chickens. I'm not boasting about her cooking skills; whoever marries her will enjoy blessings for a lifetime."

Lin Yuan looked at the chicken soup on the table and couldn't help but smile.

"Immortal Master Lin Yuan... I am Zhao Guizhen, a disciple of the Shangqing Sect of Maoshan. I didn't get to ask for your guidance last time, so I've specifically come to apologize this time."

"Meeting the Immortal Master today, you truly are as graceful as a jade tree in the wind."

Zhao Guizhen looked at Lin Yuan with a fawning smile, constantly flattering him.

Lin Yuan expressionlessly picked up the chicken soup, not even glancing at Zhao Guizhen.

Heh heh... I wasn't going to look for you, but you delivered yourself to my doorstep.

You really don't know how to write the word 'death,' do you?

"Hmm... This chicken soup tastes really fresh. Very good, very good."

Zhao Guizhen's courage immediately grew when he heard Lin Yuan's evaluation.

"I've heard that Immortal Master Lin Yuan's Comprehension Ability is extraordinary, able to comprehend the Eight Wonders, Feng Hou Qi Men and Soul Summoning, merely by observation."

"This Heaven-Reaching Talisman, according to Luotian Grand Ceremony competition, should have been yours, but you later gave it to your Senior Brother..."

Lin Yuan placed the chicken soup on the table and sneered, "Speak. What do you want?"

"I have long heard of the profoundness of the Heaven-Reaching Talisman, and Maoshan is renowned throughout the world for its Talismans. My Aptitude is dull, and I have always been stagnant in the Dao of Talismans."

"Today, seeing you, I wanted to ask, has Immortal Master Lin Yuan already inherited the Heaven-Reaching Talisman?"

Lin Yuan smiled.

"Heh heh... Of course, I have already inherited it."

"Since Immortal Master Lin Yuan has already inherited the Heaven-Reaching Talisman, I wonder if you could grant me some guidance?"

"Grant some guidance???"

Lin Yuan truly burst out laughing.

Truly, there's a gate to Heaven, but you don't enter; there's no gate to Hell, but you rush in!

I have never seen anyone actively ask to die.

"Hahahahaha! Zhao Guizhen! You really are something!!!"

Lin Yuan laughed uproariously, making everyone feel a chill. Qiu Rang and Zhao Guizhen, sitting nearby, both felt a bit cold.

Slowly, Lin Yuan gradually stopped smiling, his eyes devoid of any emotion as he looked at Zhao Guizhen.

"I had intended to let you live a few more days, to let others deal with you. But now you actually want to actively seek death. Coincidentally, breakfast is also finished. Let's have some lamb spine hotpot."

"To prepare this lamb spine hotpot, I didn't hesitate to practice on some Quanzhen members."

"Immortal Master Lin Yuan... what do you mean by that...?"

Zhao Guizhen froze for a moment. He didn't know what he had said to provoke Lin Yuan, who now wanted to kill him.

"Heh heh, are you sure you really want me to say it?"

Lin Yuan cleared his throat and looked at everyone.

"Zhao Guizhen! Traitor of Maoshan! After injuring fellow disciples and seizing the Legacy, you went on to commit a series of murders, hanging seven innocent children just to Cultivate evil arts."

Lin Yuan's voice was cold and emotionless. Hearing these words, Zhao Guizhen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"No, it's not like that. Listen to me, listen to my explanation, it's not like that."

Zhao Guizhen kept trying to argue, but Lin Yuan's hand had already seized him.

"Hmph, I'm not useless either!" As soon as Zhao Guizhen finished speaking, he immediately used a coin-shaped Magical Artifact to protect himself.

But to Lin Yuan, such a defense was like thin paper.

Boom! A violent explosion sounded. Lin Yuan shattered his defense with a single punch. Before Zhao Guizhen could react, Lin Yuan had already grabbed him by the neck.

At this moment, Lin Yuan's entire body emitted a dazzling white light.

"Immortal Master Lin Yuan! There must be some misunderstanding here. Please put him down first, and we can talk this over, how about it?"

"Daoist Zhao is usually very kind in the village. He even helps us with illnesses sometimes. Are you mistaken?"

Many villagers around began to plead for Zhao Guizhen.

On the other side, a large number of 'Outsiders' were ready to act at any moment.

Lin Yuan looked at the restless crowd and sneered, "Fanatical fools, I advise you not to act so recklessly. Think it over carefully."
