Chapter Twenty: Paving the Road with Spirit Stones

  Looking at Li Mochan who had turned into a puddle of flesh on the stage, Yun Haitian's eyes were wide with anger, and his mouth twitched twice, although he was furious in his heart, but thinking of the oath he had sworn before, he suddenly had no way to vent his emotions, let out a loud roar, not even caring about his own descendants, and directly transformed into a flash of light, disappearing into the sky.

  Song Anping felt a chill run down his spine the moment Li Mochan died on stage, and he glanced at Lin Tianyao who was in a state of shock. He thought to himself that he should keep a distance from this junior brother in the future. His cousin had even killed Li Mochan, such a ruthless person, it's better not to make an enemy out of him.

  Lin Tianyao finally recovered from his shock and asked with some disbelief: "Brother Song, didn't you say that Brother Li was incredibly powerful? How could he have lost?"

  Song Anping focused his attention and heard Lin Tianyao's inquiry, deliberately letting out a cold hum: "Tianyao Shidi, you just kept saying that the family doesn't welcome this cousin of yours, but look at him, he has countless magical tools, talismans, and even two precious symbols. If it weren't for the family's full support and cultivation, how could he possibly have such a high status? Were your previous words all deceiving me?"

  "Brother Song, how can this be? How dare I deceive you?" Lin Tianyao suddenly saw that Song Anping did not trust him and immediately began to explain.

  Song Anping had made up his mind not to offend Lin Tianyang, so he didn't care whether what Lin Tianyao said was true or not. He just pretended not to believe him and coldly snorted before leaving Lin Tianyao directly.

  "Lin Tianyang, this is all your fault!" Lin Tianyao watched as Song Anping left, gritting his teeth and again blaming Lin Tianyang.

  Lin Tianyang may have won and looked unscathed, but in reality he was already quite exhausted from the three consecutive battles. Especially against Li Mochan in the last match, taking too many recovery medicines in a short period of time had a significant impact on his meridians. If he didn't take good care to meditate and regulate himself, he might even end up injuring his meridians.

  "Lin brother, I really didn't expect that you could defeat even a 13th-level Thunder Flame Sect disciple in the Refining Qi period. Lin Tianyang, I truly admire you to the point of prostrating myself!" As soon as Lin Tianyang stepped off the Life and Death Platform, Fang Jin and Leng Qingfeng immediately began congratulating him.

  Lin Tianyang smiled in gratitude at them, then looked at Leng Yue and said gratefully: "I can win thanks to Senior Leng's support, otherwise it wouldn't be easy for me to beat Li Mochan with some reservations!"

  Leng Yue seemed to be re-examining Lin Tianyang, carefully sizing him up before responding: "Lin Tianyang, if you don't have the ability, even if I back you up and you possess many treasures, it's unlikely you'll win against Li Mochan. Don't be overly modest either. And don't think that just because Yun Haitian made a Heart Demon oath, you can rest easy. Although he's a Golden Dan period senior, his tolerance is extremely small, and his cultivation has been stuck in the early Golden Dan stage for over a hundred years. It's likely he won't have any breakthroughs in this life, so naturally, he'll take matters of junior generations very seriously. After you killed his junior disciples, although he won't openly take action against you, it's still not something to be taken lightly."

  "What should I do then?" Lin Tianyang heard this and couldn't help but furrow his brow.

  Leng Yue saw this and smiled calmly: "You don't have to worry too much, now that you've just defeated Li Muhan, he shouldn't make a move on you for a short while, lest he suffer from public opinion. What you need to do is quickly improve your cultivation, if you can build your foundation early, after having some status within the sect, he'll have more worries when wanting to make a move on you!"

  Lin Tianyang nodded silently, and after hearing Leng Yue's words, he wasn't as worried in his heart. After all, as long as he entered the Tongtian Tower a few more times, he would eventually gather enough spiritual grass to refine the Zhugedan. Even if he didn't have the current wealth of ten million, he could still buy enough.

  At this time, Qu Xuan also walked over and directly threw a storage bag at Lin Tianyang, extremely envying him: "Lin Tianyang, even Golden Dan stage cultivators may not necessarily have a value of one million spirit stones, but you, a Lianqi stage cultivator, possess one million spirit stones on your person. It's truly making people jealous!"

  Lin Tianyang took the storage bag and hung it on his waist, listening to his tone of speech, his eyes rolled over and then took out 10,000 Ling Stones and put them in an empty storage bag and handed it to Qu Xuan: "This matter still needs Master Qu's help to handle it, don't let anyone know that I'm the one who made the bet."

  Qu Xuan saw Lin Tianyang take out 10,000 spirit stones and was quite satisfied. He immediately smiled and said: "This is easy to say, I'll order them not to mention this matter to anyone else right now. You can rest assured, young Lin!"

  Looking at Qu Xuan putting away the Ling Stone, even his way of addressing him changed. Lin Tianyang also shook his head in some helplessness, but his actions reminded Lin Tianyang of the saying "money can make a ghost grind", thinking back to when he established his workshop and didn't hesitate to offer high salaries to two well-known professional gamers in the online gaming world to join. He then sent 50,000 Ling Stones to Leng Yue's hand, saying: "Leng senior, thank you for your help this time. I think you probably wouldn't look down on anything I have, so consider these Ling Stones a small token of my appreciation!"

  Leng Yue looked at the storage bag with as many as 50,000 spirit stones and couldn't help but feel a little moved. "Ordinarily, even wealthy Foundation Establishment cultivators wouldn't be worth that much, you're being very generous."

  Lin Tianyang smiled and said, "Can't let Leng senior help in vain, besides, didn't Leng senior say that this matter can't be settled for the time being? I'll probably still need Leng senior to take care of me a lot in the future!"

  If it weren't for her nephew's plea for help, and Lin Tianyang being a native of Sanxian Town, Leng Yue wouldn't have wanted to get involved. Now that she had accepted his gift, she didn't feel guilty about it either. After some thought, Leng Yue didn't stand on ceremony, as 50,000 spirit stones were equivalent to half her net worth.

  Watching Leng Yue take away the storage bag, Lin Tianyang was overjoyed in his heart, knowing that even if he had something to ask of her in the future, she would likely help him out. Of course, he also wouldn't forget about Leng Qingfeng and Fang Jin, so he subsequently gave each of them a big red envelope containing 5,000 spirit stones as well.

  Because Lin Tianyang still needs to adjust his body as soon as possible, after a few words of negotiation, Lin Tianyang returned to his own small house.

  Lin Tianyang learned that Leng Qingfeng and Fang Jin were living together, thinking that the assessment time was approaching, he didn't plan to enter Tongtian Tower either, so he took the opportunity to invite them to live together. The two naturally did not decline, immediately agreed, and at this time they only knew that Lin Tianyang had actually given up on the reserved quota, and admired Lin Tianyang even more.

  In this way, Lin Tianyang adjusted his body for several days. As time passed, the day of formal recruitment of disciples by Lei Yan Sect finally arrived.

  On that day, Lin Tianyang arrived at the empty land outside Dengtian Town's Leiyan Sect, which was opened up by Fang Jin and Leng Qingfeng to recruit disciples.

  At this time, tens of thousands of low-ranking cultivators had gathered here, mostly in groups of three or two, and some were alone. In addition, there were over a thousand disciples of the Leiyan Sect maintaining order again, among whom many were foundation-building cultivators.

  After waiting for a short while, three flashes of light suddenly flew in from afar. When the last flash landed on the high platform set up on the ground, several foundation-building cultivators who were originally standing on the platform immediately bowed to the three people. Lin Tianyang looked at the three people and was shocked to discover that they were all Golden Dan cultivators.
