Chapter 383 - Sky-High Handling Fee

The white robe of the youth from the Central Plains was embroidered with golden threaded clouds, a symbol of the Core Disciple of Green Water Lake.

This status was even higher than that of a branch Elder.

“Did you not hear what I said?” the youth in the white robe frowned.

“Fine, supply your own materials, plus a handling fee of three million Mid Grade Spirit Stones,” Lin Xuan responded indifferently.

He didn’t really want to refine medicine for these people, hence the outrageous price.

“What?

Three million Spirit Stones as a fee?” the crowd was shocked.

“That’s pretty bold to say!”

“Is this kid crazy from poverty?”

“Who knows?

He has just disrespected a Core Disciple of Green Water Lake; this kid is in trouble!”

The group whispered among themselves, knowing that the disciples of Green Water Lake would not let this go.

As expected, the expression of the youth in the white robe darkened upon hearing Lin Xuan’s words.

“Boy, do you even know who you are talking to?

It seems you are tired of living!” the youth in the white robe, Jiang Hong, said coldly.

“I think it’s you who is tired of living,” Lin Xuan sneered.

“Dare to offend a renowned Pill Master; are you tired of living?”

“Hmph, even Pill Masters differ from person to person.

If it were your master, maybe I would have shown some courtesy, but for you, there’s no need!” Jiang Hong sneered.

“Disciples of Green Water Lake, have your eyes grown on your heads?

So rude!” Lin Xuan said sternly.

He was indeed irritated by these people, each one more arrogant than the last.

“Looking for death!” the youth in the white robe got angry.

“Jiang Liu, take him down!”

“Yes,” a disciple stepped forward.

“There’s no need for Brother Jiang Hong to act; I’ll handle him!” a youth with a long sword from Wind City declared.

“Gentlemen, please give this old man some face, and let’s leave it at that,” the Third Elder said, bowing his hands in greeting.

“Your face?

Who do you think you are!” Jiang Hong scoffed coldly.

“This is Green Water Lake, you are nothing here!”

“You…” the Third Elder, infuriated, could only huff coldly in response.

The disciples from Qing Shan City also felt aggrieved.

“Haha, boy, no one can save you now!” the youth with the long sword laughed.

He took the initiative to please Jiang Hong; if he could win the favor of a Core Disciple, it would greatly enhance their position in Wind City.

The crowd fell silent, many sighing.

In their eyes, Lin Xuan, a Half-step Melt Spirit Realm Martial Artist, facing a Late-stage Spirit Fusion Realm Martial Artist, was definitely doomed.

“Alas, what a pity!

Too young and ignorant of restraint.”

“Yes, having offended Green Water Lake, even if he has a powerful master, his future days will not be easy.”

“Hmph!

Truly seeking death!” a disciple from Wind City scoffed.

“You, an ignorant ant, this is not a place for you to act wildly; just bow your head and admit your mistake!” the youth with the long sword approached step by step.

With each step, his aura grew stronger.

“So strong!” Jiang Jian’s eyes burst with remarkable War Intent, and silver Sword Light flickered around him.

“Indeed very strong!” Jiang Yiheng’s expression was extremely solemn, feeling the pressure.

This man was three notches stronger than him; how could Lin Xuan possibly escape.

The Third Elder’s expression fluctuated, and the Spiritual Energy around him was unstable.

“If you dare act, I will have all disciplines of Qing Shan City dismissed!” Jiang Hong said coldly.

The Third Elder shivered, his aura quickly died down.

“Haha, let’s see who can save you now!” the youth with the long sword laughed.

Lin Xuan turned his head to look at the Third Elder among others; seeing their silence and lack of intention to act, he sighed.

He knew, his ties with these people ended here.

From then on, there would be no more entanglements.

“Just die quietly!” the youth with the long sword stepped forward, a fierce Sword Light surging from his body.

This momentum made the weaker disciples around go pale, almost fainting.

“Trying to score points like a lackey, but you picked the wrong person!” Lin Xuan’s eyes gradually became sharp, an invisible Sword Intent on his body.

“Huh?

He’s actually fine?” the crowd exclaimed.

Even Early-stage Spirit Fusion Realm Martial Artists couldn’t withstand it, yet Lin Xuan was unharmed.

Moreover, not only was he unharmed, but he also mocked the young man with the sword on his back as a lackey.

That was just crazy!

“Court death!” The young man with the sword on his back’s face darkened, his fingers formed into a claw, reaching towards Lin Xuan.

He didn’t use his sword because Lin Xuan wasn’t worth it.

With this grab aiming for Lin Xuan’s head, if caught, Lin Xuan would surely be dead on the spot!

The crowd sneered and shook their heads, all thinking that Lin Xuan was as good as dead.

In an instant, the young man with the sword on his back reached in front of Lin Xuan, his hand falling mercilessly like steel.

Lin Xuan formed his fingers like a sword, thrusting out quickly.

A blue sword light breathed out, chilling like a cold wind.

With this gesture, he targeted the palm of the young man with the sword on his back.

Pfft!

Blood sprayed, and the young man with the sword on his back screamed and retreated.

Drip, drip!

On the bluestone ground, a trail of blood drops remained.

The young man with the sword on his back retreated ten steps, holding his right hand, his face full of terror.

“Impossible, this is impossible!”

“How could you hurt me!” he cried out in madness.

The young man with the sword on his back being injured was simply inconceivable.

After all, he was a Late-stage Spirit Fusion Realm Martial Artist!

At this moment, everyone’s face changed.

Third Elder and others were shocked; they couldn’t believe how powerful Lin Xuan was.

The young man in the white robe had a gloomy look, staring intently at Lin Xuan.

Jiang Jian, Jiang Yiheng, and others had drastically changed expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.

Especially Jiang Jian, who considered his swordsmanship unbeatable and looked down on everyone.

Yet, he hadn’t even seen clearly the trajectory of Lin Xuan’s sword.

“Impossible, completely impossible!

That kid is just a Half-step Fusion Realm Martial Artist!

How could his swordsmanship be so superb.”

“I told you, if you want to score points by being a lackey, you’ve got the wrong person!” Lin Xuan’s voice was cold.

“Kid, I want you dead.” The young man with the sword on his back’s face turned ferocious; he reached behind with his left hand and pulled out a purple long sword.

“That sword just now, I was actually holding back.

If you still don’t see the error of your ways, don’t blame me for being merciless,” Lin Xuan warned.

At that moment, everyone was stunned; their eyeballs nearly popped out.

“This kid must have hidden his Cultivation, otherwise his swordsmanship couldn’t be that superb!”

If the crowd didn’t realize Lin Xuan’s strength by now, then they might as well not be alive.

Lin Xuan was no longer planning to hide; sometimes, revealing formidable strength was also a way to resolve troubles.

His body’s Spiritual Power surged, dispersing an aura belonging to a Spirit Fusion Realm Martial Artist.

The entire sky was filled with intense Sword Intent, as if it would fall at any moment.

The crowd exclaimed, “He really did hide his Cultivation!”

This was the only explanation that made sense to them; otherwise, a Half-step Fusion Realm defeating a Late-stage Spirit Fusion Realm Martial Artist was too terrifying!

“I bet he must be a Late-stage Spirit Fusion Realm Martial Artist, otherwise he couldn’t have injured a Late-stage Spirit Fusion Realm Martial Artist with one sword.”

“Do we even need you to say that!” everyone discussing animatedly.

However, they soon became stunned once again.
