Someone couldn’t help but remind him.
Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen glanced at the other party, his face calm.
"Old man, you said I stole this elixir from your Medicine Immortal Pavilion. Do you have any evidence?"
Lin Beichen said lightly.
Qi Tiankuang sneered repeatedly.
"Kid, you still dare to be tough in front of me? Considering your young age, as long as you return the elixir, the Medicine Immortal Pavilion can let bygones be bygones!"
Evidence?
His words were the evidence!
"So, you have no evidence."
Lin Beichen said once more.
"Boy, I’ve asked you three questions, and you’ve dodged all of them. Do you really think I don’t dare kill you?"
Killing intent flashed in Qi Tiankuang’s eyes, and he said coldly.
"The rules of our Medicine Immortal Pavilion are strict; any elixir secret recipe must not be leaked. If there is any suspicion of a leak, we kill on the spot, without mercy!"
"If anyone obstructs, they will be considered enemies of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion!"
Though Qi Tiankuang wore a plain robe, the killing intent on him surged like a roaring wave.
In an instant, the hall of the Starry Sky Association was filled with murderous intent, extremely oppressive.
Everyone’s faces showed fear, not daring to speak.
Those who had previously shown goodwill toward Lin Beichen, like Zhao Huanglong, now stood aside, watching.
In the silent hall, only Lin Beichen faced Qi Tiankuang’s killing intent alone.
"Old sir, according to your Medicine Immortal Pavilion’s rules, do you intend to kill me now?"
Lin Beichen played with the teacup, speaking lightly.
"Young Master Lin, I have no personal grudge against you, but the elixirs of our Medicine Immortal Pavilion are of great importance and must not be lost!
If you are willing to repent, I can spare your life and guide you into our Medicine Immortal Pavilion for cultivation. In due time, you might even take my position.
The position of Elder commands respect, even from the patriarch, and you wouldn’t have to handle family chores."
Ms. Qi stepped forward, speaking softly, with a gentle expression on her face.
One threatening, one recruiting, they still tried to bring Lin Beichen into the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
As long as Lin Beichen took the bait, wouldn’t they have the means to control him?
Things forcibly taken from the outside attract criticism, but once inside the family, it’s a private matter.
No matter how ruthless their methods, outsiders wouldn’t dare speak.
However, people couldn’t sense the hidden danger in these words, only shocked by Ms. Qi’s recruitment.
The Medicine Immortal Pavilion’s alchemy skills were unrivaled.
Their control over medical research was also internationally renowned.
In the Medicine Immortal Pavilion, they not only made medicine but also delved into human mysteries.
In cutting-edge medical fields, they had many achievements.
The patriarch of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion was an honorary member of the International Pharmaceutical Alliance, whose words could shake the industry.
Joining the Medicine Immortal Pavilion would be akin to a meteoric rise for Lin Beichen.
Such a big family, could one just say and enter?
Some who were previously gloating now wished to slap themselves.
If they were Lin Beichen, what more would they wait for? They would thank and immediately join.
But unfortunately, Lin Beichen wasn’t them, and in his eyes, the Medicine Immortal Pavilion wasn’t a good thing at all.
"The benefits of your Medicine Immortal Pavilion are garbage in my eyes.
If you open the thousand-year Treasure Pavilion and let me choose freely, I might give you some pointers for the sake of sentiment, but joining the Medicine Immortal Pavilion?"
Lin Beichen said this, then smiled and shook his head.
"You don’t deserve it!"
"Insolent brat! Do you really refuse the face given to you?"
Qi Tiankuang roared in anger.
Ms. Qi sighed softly, showing a trace of regret.
Young, with great talent, he should have been a good seedling, but alas, he would die young.
"Law Enforcement Elder, please take action."
Ms. Qi said.
"This person stole our elixir secret recipe; bring him back for strict interrogation!"
Qi Tiankuang nodded, proudly looking at Lin Beichen, raising a hand.
"Feigning hospitality didn’t work, so you resort to blatant robbery?"
Lin Beichen laughed lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden figure behind him took a step forward.
The wooden figure had refined strength through the earth vein and Five Elements Qi, its power growing day by day. Though still wood, not all wood is the same.
The wooden figure now weighed over a thousand pounds, its body as hard as rock.
With a single step, the ground of the Starry Sky Association shook three times.
Dust flew, and the ground cracked.
"It’s this giant again."
The people around turned pale.
This silent giant usually had no presence, but once Lin Beichen gave an order, he’d move instantly.
How was this extraordinarily powerful being trained to be so obedient?
Despite Qi Tiankuang’s reputation, his prime was thirty years ago.
Now, with declining vigor, did he still have the power of his youth?
For a moment, the crowd wavered, unable to determine the strength difference between the wooden figure and Qi Tiankuang.
However, Qi Tiankuang remained unflustered, looking at the wooden figure casually, then smiling slightly.
"You rely on this giant... you really think he can protect you?"
Hm?
Lin Beichen was mildly surprised.
Though the wooden figure was just a puppet he crafted using Tier One Power of the Five Elements, its strength already matched the extraordinary.
Did Qi Tiankuang have the confidence to defeat it?
While Lin Beichen hesitated, the ground suddenly shook.
Meanwhile, a rumbling sound came from outside.
A person walked in from outside.
The already very large guest door of the Starry Sky Association couldn’t accommodate his figure.
The visitor resembled an elephant, stepping into the hall, over two meters tall, with just one arm thicker than most people’s waists.
About forty or fifty years old, his face was shiny with oil, his muscles menacing.
His skin so taut, it looked like the muscles beneath might burst through.
This person was not human, but a monster wrapped in human skin.
With each step, he left a deep footprint in the ground.
Trailing behind him were more than ten people.
Their heads marked by incense scars, each wore a Buddhist robe, holding prayer beads, with kind and compassionate expressions.
Seeing them, people gasped again.
"Isn’t that Master Kulao from the Imperial Capital Golden Light Temple?"
The Imperial Capital Golden Light Temple had stood for over six hundred years, surviving countless upheavals.
Even in times of war, the Golden Light Temple barely suffered.
They repelled powerful enemies, cultivated Buddhist Dharma, supported by believers, while training their bodies and studying Buddhist scriptures.
In domestic circles, the most notable aspect of the Imperial Capital Golden Light Temple wasn’t their scriptures, but the Arhat Guardians in their temple.
"Master Kulao is known as the unparalleled Mo Luo of the Golden Light Temple, also called the living Demon Buddha. Why is he here?"
"This kid is doomed. Though this Demon Buddha is in the Buddhist sect, his killing intent is fierce, never leaving survivors!
During a calamity in the Imperial Capital, he killed over a hundred bandits with his iron fists, even when some begged for mercy, sending them all to see King Yama without hesitation!"
The crowd looked at the two men facing Lin Beichen, feeling their scalps tingle.
If they were in Lin Beichen’s place, they might have committed suicide in apology.
One Qi Tiankuang was formidable enough, and now another Master Kulao was added.
It was more desperate than Sun Wukong being crushed under the Five Finger Mountain.
No matter Lin Beichen’s skills, he couldn’t escape the Five Finger Divine Mountain of Buddha, being suppressed for five hundred years!
"Kid, I hear your subordinate is powerful."
Master Kulao’s voice boomed like thunder.
"A few days ago, one of my disciples just wanted a few pills from you, and you split him in half and fed him to the fish. Today, I’ve come to seek justice from you."
Lin Beichen squinted slightly upon hearing this.
That day, he had killed many and didn’t care about their backers or if their elders sought revenge.
"What kind of justice do you want?"
Lin Beichen said lightly.
"Simple, I’ll send you to hell."
