Zhao Weinan was Lin Beichen’s woman. Even though she was still pure, the relationship between a man and a woman sometimes didn’t even need a night to become inseparable.
So, although nothing had happened between the two of them, everyone already considered Zhao Weinan to be Lin Beichen’s girlfriend.
Ms. Qi bit her lip, the hand warmer in her hand feeling like a hot potato.
"Lin Beichen, you neither kill me nor want me. What exactly do you want me to do?
If you have feelings for me, I’ll go bathe and change now, lie on your bed, and save us both the trouble, won’t I?"
Ms. Qi said excitedly, staring coldly at Lin Beichen, her eyes filled with both anger and shame.
For a woman to take the initiative to break the tension between them was full of disrespect to her.
Indeed, she wasn’t as cute as an ordinary girl, but because of her status and her cultivation techniques, her temperament and image were absolutely incomparable to ordinary women.
From childhood to adulthood, many men had pursued her.
But she had never met a man as shameless as Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen seemed completely disinterested in her.
Could this guy be a eunuch?
Lin Beichen smiled faintly, looking at Ms. Qi calmly until she completely calmed down before putting down his teacup.
"Since you ask, I’ll tell you what your purpose is."
With that, Lin Beichen beckoned Zhao Weinan to hand over a map.
The map was spread out on the table, but it wasn’t an ordinary national map. It was an old sheepskin map.
The map had some years on it.
The map was engraved with mountains and rivers, and in the upper right corner, there was a very special peak.
This mountain peak was surrounded by white clouds, like a fairy mountain.
Lin Beichen pointed to this place and said indifferently,
"I don’t need you to sleep with me, and I’m not interested in your body. The reason I want you to stay here is because I want to go to the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
Your Medicine Immortal Pavilion wants something from me? You don’t need to come to me, I’ll go to see you myself!"
There was a faint smile on Lin Beichen’s face.
However, upon hearing this, Qi Liuyan’s body trembled, too excited to speak.
Proactively seeking out the Medicine Immortal Pavilion?
Would Lin Beichen really be so kind?
This guy clearly felt that killing Qi Tiankuang wasn’t enough and wanted to loot the treasury of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion.
He not only wanted the treasures of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion but also intended to cut off their lineage entirely.
"You can’t do this."
Qi Liuyan’s beautiful eyes widened, speaking with immense agitation.
"Qi Tiankuang tried to assassinate you, but he has already paid the price. Everyone has paid a heavy price for this. What more are you dissatisfied with?"
"If you want to vent, vent it on me. I won’t take you there!"
Qi Liuyan gritted her teeth and shut her eyes tightly, showing an expression of determination.
Zhao Weinan and Zhao Yixia blinked slightly, a look of sympathy flashing through their eyes.
As women, they understood Qi Liuyan’s thoughts too well.
This woman was willing to sacrifice herself for her family.
Her temperament was proud and extremely tenacious.
Such a woman was deserving of pity.
"If you want to die, just find a place to hang yourself. There’s no need to act in front of me."
Lin Beichen said indifferently.
"Anyway, I have the map. I don’t believe that in this world, only you know the location of the Medicine Immortal Pavilion. After you die, I’ll take your corpse to the Medicine Immortal Pavilion and kill them all to bury you with them.
Anyway, your Medicine Immortal Pavilion provoked me and wasn’t willing to pay the price. I have always been one to take revenge for the smallest grievance!"
"You are a demon; you are a bastard!"
Qi Liuyan screamed.
Lin Beichen smiled faintly, his eyes full of coldness, as if he was merely looking at a dead person.
If you offended him and thought you could get away with just a small price, how could there be such an easy thing in this world?
When an ordinary family offended a powerful family, even if separated by thousands of miles, they could still face retribution.
Sometimes, ordinary people lost their families over a single casual remark.
They died not knowing what they did wrong.
Do the powerful care?
Actually, they don’t care. Killing these ordinary people gives them no benefit.
To them, killing an ant means nothing; they neither mourn nor gloat.
The Medicine Immortal Pavilion treated ordinary people this way; Lin Beichen treated the Medicine Immortal Pavilion the same way.
Why should the powerful be allowed and not him?
From beginning to end, Lin Beichen adhered to one principle.
He wanted to treat everyone fairly.
"You... I can take you."
Qi Liuyan’s face turned pale as she slowly knelt to the ground.
She believed Lin Beichen wouldn’t make empty threats.
If Lin Beichen said he would kill, he would kill.
Zhongcheng Hall was the most obvious example.
As long as she was alive, there might still be a chance for reconciliation, but if she died, the Medicine Immortal Pavilion would no longer have any hope.
Mr. Li Jiang couldn’t protect the Medicine Immortal Pavilion either.
"Since you’ve come to your senses, then take me there."
Lin Beichen said, getting up and heading towards the door.
Zhao Weinan and Zhao Yixia immediately followed.
Looking at Lin Beichen’s back, Qi Liuyan’s expression was extremely complicated.
If there was even a slight chance, she would want to perish together with Lin Beichen.
However, Lin Beichen was too powerful. Even if Lin Beichen was completely off guard, she didn’t dare make a move.
Under everyone’s gaze, Lin Beichen walked out of the Zhongcheng Hall estate.
Before leaving the Imperial Capital, Lin Beichen first returned to Imperial Capital University and in the woods behind the school’s dormitory, he rebuilt a stronger body for the wooden man.
The previous wooden man only contained a strand of Five Elements Qi, but this time, he created a much stronger body for the wooden man.
This body contained the power of three different elements of the Five Elements, which constantly reinforced each other, making its overall strength surpass that of an ordinary peak expert.
If the seal was broken and it unleashed its full power, the wooden man could now destroy a Zhao Tianjie-level expert with just one hand.
With Lin Beichen’s departure, however, all the families in the Imperial Capital breathed a sigh of relief.
The slaughter Lin Beichen caused at Zhongcheng Hall made every family feel terrified.
They originally thought that after Lin Beichen took over Zhongcheng Hall, he would make it his forbidden land.
Although Zhongcheng Hall had already lost its name and was divided up, with its assets reduced by at least a third,
people still held a sliver of hope in their hearts.
Zhongcheng Hall’s assets were snatched, but that didn’t mean its legacy was extinguished.
At least, they hoped Zhongcheng Hall would still retain some legacy.
Everyone understands the principle of shared danger.
Now that Lin Beichen had left, and aside from resting here for a few days, he hadn’t taken anything from Zhongcheng Hall.
After Zhao Tianjie’s death, many had taken advantages from Zhongcheng Hall. If a list were made, Lin Beichen wouldn’t even be in the top 20.
Everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Despite Lin Beichen’s immense power, he didn’t seem interested in eradicating the families entirely.
Even Qi Liuyan found it incredible.
"The main focus of Zhongcheng Hall wasn’t in the business realm, but even so, their commercial empire was worth over 30 billion. So much money—are you not tempted at all?"
In the modern society, while money isn’t the most important thing, it represents resources.
Cultivation requires an immense amount of resources.
Especially for a person at a level like Lin Beichen, each attempt, even if it doesn’t succeed, consumes wealth in the billions.
Experiments require money, collecting information requires money, even buying various materials requires money.
Lin Beichen sat on the plane, resting his eyes and answering Qi Liuyan’s idle questions.
"If I wanted money, people would naturally bring it to me. You don’t need to worry."
"If money equated to realm, how much do you think it would cost to reach my realm?"
Things money can buy do not concern him.
What he wanted were the treasures in the ancient clan treasuries.
And those treasures couldn’t be bought, no matter how much money one had.
Otherwise, when he set up a stall to exchange elixirs for treasures, he wouldn’t have attracted so many assassination attempts.
Every family clearly understood this.
Money could only buy ordinary things.
