Chapter 508: Tempering

"Damn it! It's these three guys again."

"Because of the three of them, our business has already dropped by thirty percent."

Not everyone welcomed Lin Wei and the three; peers were enemies. Buyers liked Lin Wei and the three's things, but other stall owners were not necessarily so.

At this moment, not far away, quite a few cultivators looked at the three with full malice. If eyes could kill, Lin Wei and the three would have died I don't know how many times.

Clearly, the appearance of the three had affected other rogue cultivator stalls.

Su Fan saw it in his eyes, but he didn't give the three any pointers. These three little guys were all raised in a greenhouse. Even Lin Wei had been well taken care of by his grandfather since he was young, and later after becoming an apprentice, he lacked nothing in terms of resources.

Su Qidong and the two brothers didn't need to be mentioned either. Although they were of the same generation as Su Fan, when they were young, the Su Family had already begun to rise, and they lacked nothing in terms of resources.

Naturally, they hadn't experienced any hard days, nor did they understand the ways of the world.

They were setting up stalls now, only feeling that the surrounding rogue cultivators were kind to them, and the nice words made them feel like they were about to ascend to heaven. Naturally, they didn't feel the malice of other stall owners.

Without tempering, they naturally didn't understand.

Su Fan didn't remind them, precisely because he wanted to let them suffer a loss, let them know the danger of the cultivation world, and only then would they be careful in the future.

Of course, in this city, no matter how full of hatred those stall owners were, they absolutely didn't dare to make a move. Those stall owners were mostly Qi Refining, and a small portion were Foundation Establishment cultivators.

They didn't have the ability to bear the consequences.

"Everyone, think of a way. If this continues, our days ahead won't be easy."

"Many cultivators have already forced us to lower the price of these Yellow Bud Pills. Fellow Daoist, I think your artifacts must also be dropping, right?"

"Then what should we do?"

"We can't make a move in the city. We've warned them before, but these three simply don't listen."

"Now many rogue cultivators are also willing to hand over the materials in their hands to these three. Now we can't even cut off the other party's raw materials."

"Then lure the three out of the city and kill them."

Someone suggested. As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the other cultivators lit up, and they nodded one after another.

"Let's do it."

This group of clowns was plotting, but they didn't know that their words had long been known. The restrictions they set up were nothing to a true high-level cultivator.

"Clowns!"

"However, these people can also let Lin Wei and the others feel the cruelty of the cultivation world."

Seeing this, Su Fan had even less of an idea to remind the three. Instead, he wanted to see what kind of response these three would have when facing the schemes of those people.

Using outsiders to temper them—Su Fan had done this kind of thing many times before, especially when he recalled the first martial arts world, he had also tempered many sect juniors.

Now, could Lin Wei and the others pass this test?

If they couldn't even pass this small tempering, then they weren't worth too much cultivation.

In Su Fan's eyes, compared to talent and will, the latter was even more important.

As for the safety of the three, Su Fan never worried. Even if the three went out of the city and were besieged, the trump cards he left behind were enough for the three to resist for a while. When they truly faced a life-and-death crisis, it wouldn't be too late for him to come out and rescue them.

After watching for a while, Su Fan became busy with his own affairs.

At the stall, he found one of Jinguang's subordinates and left a message.

After returning to the cave dwelling, he began refining pills and making talismans.

He could also see the cultivation of Su Qidong and the two brothers. In three years, they had also reached the peak of Qi Refining. Although the Purple Qi Secret Technique was still a bit lacking,

they could try Foundation Establishment, so he needed to refine a batch of Pulse-Protecting Pills.

Fortunately, in Wu Guo, the spirit herbs for Pulse-Protecting Pills were not lacking. After entering just two spirit herb shops, he gathered the spirit herbs for a batch of Pulse-Protecting Pills.

It couldn't help but make Su Fan sigh; sure enough, it was better in a major cultivation country.

If this were in Zheng State, wanting to gather the spirit herbs for a batch of Pulse-Protecting Pills would likely take half a year or even longer.

And in Wu Guo, the spirit herbs needed for third-tier high-grade spirit pills were not a problem at all, and even the spirit herbs needed for fourth-tier spirit pills were available.

Pulse-Protecting Pills were not a difficult task for Su Fan, especially since his alchemy level was getting stronger and stronger, faintly reaching the fourth-tier level.

It only took ten-plus days to refine these third-tier Pulse-Protecting Pills.

After coming out of closed-door cultivation, Su Fan found Lin Wei and the three in the cave dwelling's living room. Seeing Su Fan come out, the three were somewhat pleasantly surprised.

"Master."

"Ninth Brother."

The three hurriedly stood up to salute.

"Hmm! It seems you haven't forgotten to cultivate in these three years."

Lin Wei's cultivation had already reached the peak of the first level of Foundation Establishment, and it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before he could break through.

With his spirit roots, breaking through a level within ten years was not a big problem.

After all, he also possessed resources comparable to those possessed by core disciples of major sects. Although the Su Family was a small household, Su Fan's strength and ability were no worse than those Golden Core elders in top-tier clans.

And being an Alchemy Master, Lin Wei and the others lacked nothing in terms of resources.

"Master, there's something we want to tell you?"

"What is it?"

Su Fan was surprised.

"It's that we want to go out of Huo Ling Cheng!"

"Go out of the city?"

Hearing this, Su Fan understood immediately. He knew that those stall owners had already schemed, and his heart was also somewhat angry. Regardless, Lin Wei and the others were his disciples and brothers. Daring to scheme against them was going against him.

A trace of killing intent emerged from the depths of Su Fan's eyes.

"Go out of the city for what? Huo Ling Cheng is safe, but outside the city is different."

"Master, I want to take Qidong and the others to temper themselves. It just so happens that Qidong also needs a Yuan Yang Grass to refine a Yuan Yang Pill to break through to second-tier alchemy."

"We want to go and take a look."

Lin Wei looked at Su Fan's expressionless face, and his confidence was somewhat insufficient.

"Hmm! Since that's the case, then be careful. I'll remind you of a few things: outside the city is not like inside the city. You not only have to be careful of monster beasts in the wilderness but also be even more careful of those cultivators. Sometimes, many cultivators are even more terrifying than monster beasts."

"And don't go too far."

"Yes! Master (Ninth Brother)."

Hearing Su Fan agree, the three faces instantly showed joy. However, they didn't see the trace of a cruel smile hidden at the corner of Su Fan's mouth.

They were laughing happily now, but after a period of time, the three would know the bitterness.

Tempering turning into grinding—Su Fan believed that the three would inevitably be unforgettable.

Waving his hand, Su Fan directly let the three get lost because he discovered movement in the jade talisman. Clearly, it was a reply from that guy Jinguang.

Last time, he asked the other party to inquire about news, and Su Fan believed the other party should have an answer. ===== CHAPTER 509 =====
