Chapter 41: Post-Battle Review

The four gathered around to help Lin Zhangqing, but were stopped by Lin Zhangqing. With a thought, the robber cultivator fighting Lin Zhangqing let out two shrill screams, his whole body twitched violently, and he fell to the ground. It looked like he had fainted.

Lin Zhangqing stepped forward to control him and confiscated his dharma artifact and storage bag.

He signaled his partners to clean up the battlefield. They were nervous during the battle and didn't feel anything, but now seeing the corpses all over the ground, the few little partners reacted, vomiting violently, dizzy and dizzy, and even bile was vomited out.

Lin Zhangqing didn't have it easy either, but fortunately, he had seen many bloody scenes in his previous life, so he wasn't as embarrassed as them.

In the end, Lin Zhangqing had to come forward to collect the spoils, handing the dharma artifacts and storage bags to Lin Changlian to be distributed equally after returning. The several corpses were burned to ashes with the Fireball Technique.

Everyone rested for a while before feeling a little better. To distract their attention, Lin Zhangqing began to interrogate the captive. A Water Ball Technique hit his face directly.

That robber cultivator woke up slowly. Seeing this scene before him, he knew he had been captured and estimated he wouldn't live, so he simply closed his mouth and said nothing.

Lin Zhangqing saw that he was not cooperating, so he let the Purple Crystal Scorpion give him another needle. Another shrill scream sounded, his whole body twitched violently, and then he fainted again.

After being woken up by the Water Ball Technique again, he was much more honest this time, answering whatever was asked.

It turned out that this group of people had been eyeing Lin Zhangqing since the stone gambling workshop. Their experience was quite rich, adopting cross-surveillance, which was why they weren't discovered by Lin Zhangqing's divine sense.

In fact, leaving this live mouth was to verify his guess.

At first, when he discovered someone following, Lin Zhangqing's first reaction was that there was a problem with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion, so he specifically left a live one.

Fortunately, the worst situation didn't happen.

The cause of the matter and so on were all asked clearly, so this robber cultivator was useless.

His eyes turned to Tenth Younger Brother Lin Zhanghao. He hadn't "opened his meat" (killed) just now, so he signaled Lin Zhanghao to solve him.

Everyone also looked at him together, which made him not know how to start.

Lin Zhangqing saw that he was still hesitating and couldn't help but say: "What would have happened if we had fallen into their hands just now?"

Everyone showed expressions of lingering fear one after another, and Lin Zhanghao also gritted his teeth and urged his long sword to cut off the robber cultivator's head.

Lin Zhangqing nodded, cleaned up the corpse with a Fireball Technique, and checked around to make sure there were no omissions. Only then did he summon back the 124 Purple Crystal Scorpions. At this time, the little partners had time to carefully observe them.

Lin Changlian saw the beautiful and pretty appearance of the Purple Crystal Scorpions and couldn't help but want to touch them, but was stopped by Lin Zhangqing.

"Think about what that robber cultivator looked like when he was stung just now!" Lin Zhangqing reminded.

A chill ran down everyone's spines, and they shivered again.

Lin Zhangjie said at this time: "Ninth brother, was the battle just now always under your control?"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and said: "Almost. If everyone was in danger, I would have solved them at the first opportunity. This was also an opportunity for everyone to exercise.

Fifth brother, you were a little nervous at the beginning, but you adapted very well after the battle started, entangling that robber cultivator for so long.

You created an opportunity for the twelfth younger sister to sneak attack, and most importantly, you knew how to add a knife. You performed very well."

Lin Zhangjie's face turned slightly red, and he said with shame in his heart: "I am not as good as you said. The most important thing today is still you.

If you hadn't been on the scene today, we would all have been accounted for here."

Everyone nodded after hearing this, feeling that what Lin Zhangjie said made a lot of sense.

Lin Zhanghao also said embarrassedly: "Ninth brother, was my performance very poor?"

"No, anyone who encounters a life-and-death crisis for the first time will be afraid and nervous. This is normal. It's already very good that you could remember the 'save your life and fight while moving' that I instructed.

Just experience more in the future. In the future, everyone should practice the Swift Wind Step. Move around in battle, and never stand still stupidly.

Let's go back, we'll talk about anything on the spirit boat." Lin Zhangqing hurriedly stopped them from continuing to ask.

Everyone got on the spirit boat again and took turns controlling it.

Lin Zhangyuan's face turned slightly red, and he said: "My performance this time was also not good."

Lin Zhangqing said sternly: "Sixth brother, everyone has a first time. You will be better after experiencing more." Lin Changlian asked proudly: "Then how was my performance? Not bad, right?"

Lin Zhangqing praised: "You have fighting talent, and your timing is also precise. You killed two people and assisted in killing one. Your performance was very good."

Lin Changlian was extremely happy to hear her ninth brother praise her so much and said: "Then since I performed so well, shouldn't you reward me?"

Lin Zhangqing smiled and said: "Then what reward do you want? Purple Crystal Scorpions won't work; they have already been recognized as masters."

"I haven't thought about it yet. Wait until I think about it. Remember you owe me a reward." Lin Changlian said proudly.

Lin Zhangqing was speechless and could only promise her first. Thinking about it, he added: "You can't think of anything too difficult; otherwise, I will renege on the debt."

Lin Changlian rolled her eyes at him and said: "You dare."

Lin Zhangqing summarized it in his heart, and then said to everyone: "Everyone's performance this time can be considered passing. There was no collapse or escape, but the mental quality needs to be strengthened. Nervousness, fear, confusion, and even being flustered in battle are all fatal mistakes.

And overall, everyone still lacks exercise, and there are very few fighting techniques. We need to improve a lot in the future.

Everyone is welcome to come to Aoyun Peak to discuss and learn from each other when you have time in the future."

Everyone had just experienced a life-and-death battle, and their spirits were still highly tense. Fortunately, the rest of the journey was still very smooth. The flying boat passed through the mountain gate, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They agreed to come to Aoyun Peak to drink tea and taste spirit fruits tomorrow, and by the way, distribute the spoils of war. Then they went home separately.

The family was all there. Lin Zhangqing returned just in time for dinner, and the whole family sat together.

His mother asked how the Seven Prefectures Small Meeting was? Was it lively?

Lin Zhangqing indicated that he didn't watch the Qingyun Sect's arena battle; there were too many people, and he mainly went to stroll around the stalls.

Then he took out the ten dozen talisman papers he bought for his mother. After checking, his mother said the quality was good and he had an eye for it.

His younger sister came over again and asked if he had forgotten her gift?

Lin Zhangqing indicated that he had prepared a good gift for her, a genuine one. After dinner, he would give it to her.

His father asked if there was any situation on the way back and forth. Lin Zhangqing could only tell the story of encountering robber cultivators on the way back.

His father and second uncle took turns asking questions, and his mother also asked questions from time to time. Lin Zhangqing could only tell it in detail from beginning to end.

Both of them expressed great satisfaction with Lin Zhangqing's performance. He could command his little partners to resist the enemy without panic in the face of danger, and also achieved the result of counter-killing, which made them look at him with new eyes.

Most importantly, knowing that Lin Zhangqing had this kind of mental means, they would also be more at ease when Lin Zhangqing went out in the future.

However, neither his father nor his second uncle believed that the Purple Crystal Scorpions were so powerful. Lin Zhangqing was speechless. He couldn't really let the Purple Crystal Scorpions sting them, right! He could only let them go to Aoyun Peak to experience it tomorrow.

In order to get the gift earlier, his younger sister ate much faster than usual, and then stared at her brother with eager eyes.

Lin Zhangqing ignored her and finished his meal slowly, making his younger sister want to come over and snatch his rice bowl.

Only then did Lin Zhangqing finish the remaining rice in two or three mouthfuls, and then, amidst his younger sister's anticipation, took out that mid-grade fire spirit stone.

His younger sister screamed and pounced over, "Brother, you are too good to me."

Then she held the mid-grade fire spirit stone and wouldn't let go. In fact, such a large piece of spirit stone, although irregular in shape, was actually very good-looking in red. Sure enough, women all liked shiny things.

His mother warned her that this thing could only be used at home or during cultivation, and she was not allowed to take it out at ordinary times, let alone show it off outside.

She also knew that her brother encountered robber cultivators this time because of this thing. Although she was a little reluctant, she was still prepared to return this shiny spirit stone to her brother.

Lin Zhangqing was between laughter and tears and could only tell her that when this thing was just solved out, the first thing he thought of was to give it to her.

Only by letting her use it could the efficacy of this thing be maximized. If given to others, it could only be exchanged for spirit stones.

Letting her cultivate hard and establish her foundation early was the repayment to the family.
