Chapter 172: Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Taming Sutra

Lin Zhangqing's heart stirred. Could it be that he was about to have a stroke of great luck this time? Was he going to win a big prize?

So Lin Zhangqing tentatively asked: "Then the Beast Taming Arts of you two were also found in that Core True Disciple's storage bag?"

Chen Hu chuckled: "I know what you are thinking. You don't need to test me. I can clearly tell you that you guessed right."

"We found the Yuling Sect's core inheritance cultivation method, the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Spirit Taming Sutra', in his storage bag."

"With the Core Disciple's identity jade token, plus this core inheritance cultivation method, we knew that staying in the Yuling Sect's sphere of influence would definitely mean death, which is why we left so decisively."

Hearing him say this, Lin Zhangqing felt a little excited. He took out the storage bags of the two brothers and began to refine them. It didn't take long before he finished refining them.

Chen Hu saw Lin Zhangqing refining their brothers' storage bags and chuckled twice, but didn't say anything else.

Seeing Chen Hu's attitude, Lin Zhangqing's heart sank; he had a bad feeling.

Not wanting to mix up the two people's things, he first poured everything from Chen Biao's storage bag onto the ground.

Spirit stones, dharma artifacts, pills, high-quality Red Smelted Fire Copper ore, clothing, sundries, and so on were all swept to one side, mainly looking for books or jade slips.

He soon found a book and two jade slips. He glanced at Chen Hu, who still had the same expression.

He flipped through the book; it turned out to be Chen Biao's cultivation notes. This wasn't of much use to Lin Zhangqing.

Subsequently, he picked up a jade slip and placed it against his forehead to check the contents, discovering that this wasn't it either, but a book called "Record of Ten Thousand Beasts Sightings".

This could be considered relatively useful information. He put it away first; this would definitely be useful in the future, and he could take it out to read occasionally to broaden his knowledge.

He would copy a version for the clan's Scripture Pavilion when the time came; it could be considered giving back to the clan and enriching the Lin family's foundation.

He picked up the other jade slip and read it, discovering that this wasn't it either, but a secret art called "Three Hearts Two Minds", which was the favorite secret art of the Yuling Sect's Qi Refining disciples.

It allowed one to command two or three spirit beasts simultaneously, and the cultivator themselves could also control two dharma artifacts to coordinate and fight, which was a very practical secret art.

It was still useful even at the Foundation Establishment Stage! However, this wasn't what Lin Zhangqing was looking for, so he could only put it away first, and incidentally, he put all the items on the ground back into the storage bag.

He poured out the things in Chen Hu's storage bag, similarly looking for books and jade slips. This time he only found two jade slips; there weren't even any cultivation notes.

He checked the contents of the two jade slips and discovered they were the "Record of Ten Thousand Beasts Sightings" and the secret art "Three Hearts Two Minds" he had found earlier.

Lin Zhangqing felt a bit disappointed, but didn't show it, and stared at Chen Hu, asking: "Did you two have preparations made long ago?"

Chen Hu said somewhat proudly: "Yes, we were prepared long ago, but we didn't wait for the Yuling Sect people, but instead waited for you!"

Lin Zhangqing looked at his proud appearance and really wanted to give him another sting, but thought better of it, worried about killing him.

He decided to settle this account all at once in the future.

Lin Zhangqing's face had already turned cold, and he said with an expressionless face: "Say everything clearly at once. Don't challenge my patience again, or you will be the one to suffer!"

Seeing him like this, Chen Hu shivered, also afraid that Lin Zhangqing would be stimulated and give him another one.

He hurriedly explained: "The situation was like this: we were afraid of being found and killed by the Yuling Sect at the time, so we thought of a way to hide their core cultivation method."

"If we were unfortunately caught by the Yuling Sect people that day, we would use this to negotiate with them to see if we could survive in the face of death."

Hearing Chen Hu's words, Lin Zhangqing felt depressed. Old foxes like this who had been struggling in the cultivation world for decades were indeed the hardest to deal with; to survive, they could think of any method.

Although he knew it couldn't be nearby, he still couldn't help but ask: "Then where did you hide the Yuling Sect's cultivation method?"

Chen Hu was quite straightforward this time, answering directly: "In the Xianyin Sect, near the Heavenly Sound Prefecture Market."

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart, knowing it wouldn't be that easy. It seemed that good things come after much difficulty! He had originally planned to kill Chen Hu after asking him a few questions, but now he could only let him live for the time being. However, he couldn't let him be so carefree, so he would collect some interest first.

After making up his mind, Lin Zhangqing walked up and lifted him up.

Chen Hu realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked: "Wait, what are you doing?"

Lin Zhangqing also learned from him, chuckled "Hehe", and reached out to puncture his dantian and Qi Sea.

Chen Hu screamed, twisting and turning in Lin Zhangqing's hands in pain.

The spiritual energy of his entire body began to dissipate from the damaged dantian and the pores all over his body.

Not long after, all the spiritual energy in his body dissipated completely. Without spiritual energy, Chen Hu was now just a mortal.

Chen Hu hadn't expected Lin Zhangqing to be so ruthless, not giving him any chance at all, and he gritted his teeth in anger, staring at Lin Zhangqing with blood-red eyes, looking as if he wished he could bite off a piece of his flesh.

Seeing him like this, Lin Zhangqing's mood improved again! Sure enough, happiness was built on the suffering of others.

Subsequently, he untied him, lest he be strangled to death due to poor blood circulation from being tied up for too long.

He knocked him unconscious again and put him into the Spirit Beast Bracelet, throwing a pile of food and drink inside for him, just ensuring he wouldn't die.

When he had time, he would go to the Heavenly Sound Market of the Xianyin Sect to take a look. There was no other way now, so he could only keep him in the Spirit Beast Bracelet for now. Fortunately, he would just need to throw some things for him to eat in the future, and he wouldn't need to bother with him at other times.

This Three Treasures Spirit Beast Bracelet was originally for spirit beasts, but now it was almost becoming a prison in Lin Zhangqing's hands, and quite a few captives were already locked inside.

He shook his head and put everything on the ground back into Chen Hu's storage bag. He would organize it with Chen Ziya when he found time recently!

Having missed out on the core cultivation method and having had a false joy, Lin Zhangqing still felt a bit depressed.

Interrogating these two captives had wasted quite a bit of time, and the spirit tea he had brewed just now had gone cold, so Lin Zhangqing brewed another pot.

After finishing it, he prepared to start cultivating the Thunder True Scripture. However, while drinking tea just now, he recalled something again, always feeling that he had missed something important and that something wasn't right.

Forget it, if he couldn't remember, he wouldn't think about it. He should cultivate first!

He set his posture and began to circulate the Thunder True Scripture. The generated thunder spiritual energy began to stimulate his acupoints, and all kinds of familiar feelings rushed over him again.

An hour and a half later, he was drenched in sweat again. He released Xu Meiniang, gave her two instructions, and Lin Zhangqing went outside to clean his body before returning to the illusion array.

He enjoyed the muscle massage service provided by Xu Meiniang. Her skills were getting better and better, and Lin Zhangqing was quite satisfied.

Half an hour later, Lin Zhangqing was just about to send Xu Meiniang back to the Spirit Beast Bracelet when he noticed she looked as if she wanted to speak but stopped.

Seeing this, Lin Zhangqing knew she had something on her mind and asked directly: "Do you have something to tell me?"

Xu Meiniang hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, Master. The Green Jade Spirit Tea you gave me last time is finished. I don't know if you could give this servant a little more?"

Lin Zhangqing suddenly realized. The small box he gave her last time really didn't have much, and being able to use it until now was probably because she only used a tiny bit each time.

He thought for a moment. He had tested Xu Meiniang quite a bit and hadn't discovered any problems.

Since that was the case, why not officially bring her into the inner space and give her some Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine.

This way, the injury on her soul would naturally heal completely, and she wouldn't need to ask him for Green Jade Spirit Tea anymore, and it could also improve her cultivation realm.

Suddenly thinking of the cultivation realm, "Boom!" Lin Zhangqing finally realized and understood what he had missed just now!
