Chapter 534: Trouble at the Door

This person was actually the great-grandson of the Bai family's ancestor, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Lin Zhangqing sized him up before saying: "I have met Fellow Daoist Bai. I have also had the fortune to hear about your family's core disciple trial!

I also admire your family's system very much.

But how did you know, Fellow Daoist, that my strength is definitely very strong? Perhaps my cultivation is insufficient, and I might even drag you down instead?"

Bai Shangbin said with a hint of pride: "Fellow Daoist, you don't have to be humble! And this is not a secret that cannot be told. It should be that many people have heard of it. The Bai family actually has a secret technique called the Observing Sha Technique!

It can be considered a very important inheritance of the Bai family. With it, one can judge the approximate strength of the observed object. For so long, there has basically been no major deviation.

Now you know, Fellow Daoist, I also observed and approved of your strength through this secret technique, so I specifically came to invite you!"

Lin Zhangqing's heart moved. Sure enough, the world is full of wonders, and strange people and secret techniques are endless and emerge one after another! But he still wanted to understand the specific situation of this Observing Sha Technique, so he continued to say: "Then Fellow Daoist Bai, can you give me a rough introduction to this Observing Sha Technique, so I can broaden my horizons?"

Bai Shangbin was stunned upon hearing this. He didn't expect that Lin Zhangqing would make such an unreasonable request.

However, he wasn't stupid either. He knew this was an important family inheritance and couldn't let outsiders know too much.

So he laughed and said: "Sorry, Fellow Daoist, this belongs to family secrets, so it's not very convenient to explain in detail! However, if you, Fellow Daoist, can accept my task invitation, I can give you a rough introduction as an extra!"

Lin Zhangqing was disappointed in his heart, but he didn't change his mind, and he didn't want to be cannon fodder for others.

So he still refused: "Sorry, Fellow Daoist Bai! I have also heard of your trial task, which is to hunt a pair of third-grade Purple Cloud Eagles! I only have the cultivation of the mid-Foundation Establishment Stage now, and I don't have the confidence to survive a single strike from them. Therefore, I cannot take this suicidal task!

Fellow Daoist Bai, you should find some cultivators with stronger strength, at least with late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, to give it a try!

Anyway, I definitely dare not take this third-grade task! So Fellow Daoist Bai, you should find other Fellow Daoists!"

Bai Shangbin said directly: "Fellow Daoist, you are really too humble. I have been taking this task for half a month.

I have personally searched for and observed no less than 1,000 cultivators.

But I didn't feel that any of them were suitable. Only after meeting you, Fellow Daoist, today did I finally confirm that you are the person who can help me complete the task!"

Lin Zhangqing was speechless. He had refused so clearly, yet this Bai Shangbin kept pestering him, so he didn't want to stay here anymore.

He said directly to Bai Shangbin: "Alright! Since Fellow Daoist Bai can see my strength with the secret technique, you should understand.

The conditions you offered have no attraction to me at all! So don't talk about helping you complete the task anymore!"

After speaking, Lin Zhangqing settled the spirit stones and turned to leave! At this time, Bai Shangbin was blushing, and for a while, he didn't know what to say, and could only watch Lin Zhangqing's departing figure in a daze.

At this time, there were quite a few cultivators in the tea house who noticed their conversation.

It was just unexpected that Bai Shangbin of the Bai family would be so respectful to a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator! However, at this time, two or three cultivators who were originally drinking tea settled their bills and left quickly in different directions, obviously going to report the news!

But Lin Zhangqing didn't know about these things that happened later.

He only knew that he couldn't get involved in the Bai family's trial. Don't look at it as just determining the position of core disciples.

It must also involve various interest distributions and disputes, so he really didn't want to participate in their family's trial task! And he had already made up his mind not to stay here anymore and would leave this troublesome place for the Ten Thousand Peaks Region tomorrow morning.

However, he didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble found him!

After wandering around and returning to the inn, people started coming to visit him!

The first one to come to the door was a Bai family disciple named Bai Shangfeng, who also invited him to help complete the trial.

The conditions offered were somewhat stronger than those offered by Bai Shangbin, with an extra 100,000 low-grade spirit stones, but Lin Zhangqing didn't agree and refused as well.

Not long after, the second one to come to the door was a very beautiful female cultivator named Bai Shanghong, who had the same purpose.

The conditions offered were even more attractive. The previous conditions were the same as those offered by Bai Shangbin.

It was just that one more condition was added: as long as Lin Zhangqing helped her complete the trial task, she could become a Dao companion with Lin Zhangqing.

And one of the children born in the future could follow Lin Zhangqing's surname.

Isn't this disguisedly letting Lin Zhangqing marry into the family! It made him so angry that he almost wanted to curse!

This Bai Shanghong really had a good plan, knowing that his strength was strong, and still wanted to pull Lin Zhangqing to her side through this means.

He especially didn't like this woman, so he also refused her on the excuse that he already had a Dao companion.

After Bai Shanghong left, in order not to be disturbed anymore...

In the end, he had no choice but to hang a "closed-door cultivation" sign at the door, and then no one came to look for him.

However, it was not without harvest. At the very least, from the mouth of the very beautiful Bai Shanghong, he learned what the Observing Sha Technique was all about.

Actually, to put it bluntly, the principle is also very simple, that is, if a cultivator kills a demon beast or cultivator of the same stage or higher...

They will definitely carry killing intent on their body. The more they kill, the more obvious this killing intent is.

And this kind of thing, killing intent, also belongs to a type of evil energy, so through the Observing Sha Technique, one can vaguely observe this killing intent.

That's why Bai Shangbin and the others came directly to him.

Knowing the specific situation, he was relieved. It wasn't that he had any leaks, but that the Bai family's secret technique was too powerful! Anyway, he had already made up his mind to change into a higher-grade Spirit Concealing Mask tomorrow morning and then leave Baiyun Market.

After making the decision, he threw these problems to the back of his mind.

He checked the recovery situation of the Demon Cloud Vine today and found that the vines had already spread to a radius of 20 zhang!

Lin Zhangqing was still very satisfied with its recovery speed. Looking at it this way, it shouldn't be long before the Demon Cloud Vine could recover.
