Chapter 170: Squeeze Him

Lin Changqing returned to the room, brewed a pot of green jade tea for himself, and sipped it slowly.

I didn’t expect that Chuyi was so capable. He only went out for a day or two and yet he managed to bring back a wife.

Let them get familiar with it tonight, and then tomorrow morning, slowly interact with the new golden-winged bird to see if we can build a trusting relationship with each other, and use the first day of the new year as a bond to tame it.

I'll talk about this tomorrow. Now that I have successfully switched to practicing the Five Elements Chaos Sutra, I have to change my daily practice plan.

In the morning, I practiced the new fundamental method, the Five Elements Chaos Sutra. After taking a rest, I started to practice the thunder control technique (including the Gengjin Divine Thunder, the Kuishui Yin Thunder), the water control technique, the Five Elements Escape Technique, and some commonly used spells.

As for the technique of nourishing essence and inducing labor, after considering it, Lin Changqing decided to practice it occasionally. After all, with Lu Youqiang's family around, he wouldn't have to do it himself in the future.

After returning to the family, you can practice while taking care of the spiritual medicines and plants.

It is still better to arrange to practice the Thunder Scripture two hours before rest, and you can probably squeeze out another hour or two every day, so this time can be used flexibly.

In this way, the approximate time for the day is arranged, and you can just follow it in the future.

There are still three prisoners imprisoned in the spirit beast bracelet, two of whom have not been interrogated yet. Let's deal with them today!
But before that, you have to take out the formation plate of the Small Five Elements Maze Formation and set it up.

He did it as he thought, and then released twenty-four amethyst scorpions, which were invisible around him, just in case.

After thinking for a while, he released the female monk first.

The sudden change of environment made the female monk stunned for a moment, but she soon realized that she was going to be punished.

Lin Changqing took a look at her and estimated that she was in her thirties and looked okay, otherwise the leader of the robbery cultivators would not have taken a fancy to her.

But this has nothing to do with Lin Changqing. Then, he said expressionlessly: "If you don't want to experience that extreme pain again, then you should answer whatever I ask. Do you understand?"

The female monk looked at him anxiously and nodded, knowing that this time it was a matter of life and death.

Lin Changqing continued to ask: "What's your name? What are your specialties?"

"My name is Zhao Liyu. I'm a top-grade spiritual plant master. I also learned some beast taming skills from Chen Biao." After saying this, she looked at Lin Changqing with a longing look on her face.

Lin Changqing was a little surprised, but he continued to ask: "Since you are a first-level spiritual plant master, why do you still want to be a robbery cultivator?"

Zhao Liyu shook her head and said, "It's not easy to be a casual cultivator. Even if you find a spiritual land to farm, you will be exploited and even bullied.

After working hard for a year, I can only barely afford the basics of cultivation, I have no savings, and I have to endure a lot of anger."

Lin Changqing listened but didn't say anything. Instead, he asked about Chen Biao.

"What are the origins of the two Chen Biao brothers? Are they disciples of the Yuling Sect?"

Zhao Liyu thought about it for a while, then shook her head and said, "I haven't heard them talk about this, but I feel like they probably didn't, and they might have gotten the inheritance there.

If he is really a disciple of the Yuling Sect, he should not dare to pass on the Yuling technique to others. Isn't this a violation of his oath?"

Lin Changqing nodded, thinking that what she said made sense, and asked another question: "After this mine is dug, what are you going to do with these captured miners?"

Zhao Liyu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up: "The two Chen Biao brothers and Liu Dongming both want to kill everyone.

Otherwise, sooner or later someone will trace us back and find out that we have obtained this entire vein of red-refined copper ore.

Liu Dongming calculated that all of it could be refined into red fire copper and sold to Wanbao Pavilion. This would be enough for all of us to practice to the foundation-building stage.

So we must not be soft-hearted and leave ourselves with such a huge hidden danger."

Lin Changqing stared at her and asked seriously, "What do you think? How do you want to deal with these captured miners? I want to know your true thoughts."

Zhao Liyu hesitated for a moment, as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. Although she hadn't opened her mouth yet, Lin Changqing already knew the answer and knew in his heart how to deal with her!

He raised his hand to stop Zhao Liyu from talking any further. "Have you ever sold the minerals you collected?"

Zhao Liyu quickly shook her head and said, "No, no, Chen Biao and Liu Dongming both said that they would leave here after all the samples were collected.

In order to prevent the news from leaking out, no one else is allowed to leave without permission. When the time comes, everyone will share the spirit stones after they sell them.

That’s why there is so much ore that it can’t be stored and ends up piling up in the mine.”

Lin Changqing nodded. He had seen it with his own eyes.

At this point, basically all the questions that should be asked have been asked, and Lin Changqing has already made a decision in his mind on how to deal with her.

After knocking her unconscious, he put her back into the spirit beast bracelet.

Afterwards, Chen Hu was released.

The environment suddenly changed, and Chen Hu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

Looking at Lin Changqing standing in front of him, he knew that it was this man who had plotted against them, and he became so excited that his face turned red and he started cursing.

This guy is a real man. He probably knew he was going to die, so he just cursed to his heart's content.

But since he is so unruly, Lin Changqing will not tolerate him.

Amethyst Scorpion is an expert at curing all kinds of disobedience. As soon as he thought about it, an Amethyst Scorpion shot him in the base of his thigh.

The shrill and sharp screams echoed in the magic circle. Lin Changqing couldn't help but covered his ears. The sound was too sharp.

Fortunately, we are inside this magic circle, otherwise the whole village would probably be able to hear it.

Chen Hu's whole body arched up in pain, and then fell heavily to the ground. Cold sweat poured down his body, and he gasped for breath. It took him a while to recover.

"Chen Hu, how is it? Is it satisfying? If not, I can give it to you again!" Lin Changqing asked expressionlessly.

Chen Hu's voice was hoarse, and he said with difficulty: "What do you want to do?"

Lin Changqing said calmly: "I don't want to do anything, as long as you answer a few questions for me, that's all!"

Chen Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Ask me, I'll tell you everything I know!"

It was good to be able to communicate, so he asked directly: "Tell me about your two brothers' origins! I'm quite curious. With your strength, you are considered elite among the cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage."

Chen Hu sighed and did not directly answer Lin Changqing's question. Instead, he stared at Lin Changqing and asked, "Are you going to kill me regardless of whether I say it or not?"

Lin Changqing's heart moved, and he decided to squeeze him, so he said: "Yes, I have no reason to let you go, of course, if you have something that can redeem your life from me, you can also take it out.

But let me be clear first, I can't leave myself a scourge, I will destroy your cultivation and find you an ordinary village for you to spend the rest of your life.

But you better answer my question first! My patience is limited."

Chen Hu hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "We are originally independent cultivators from the Yuling Sect. We usually go into the mountains to hunt monsters and earn spirit stones in exchange for cultivation resources.

Of course, we would occasionally rob cultivators. Unexpectedly, one time in the mountains, we met an injured cultivator who looked like he had just fought with others.

We couldn't help but attack him, and it took us a lot of effort to kill him. Later, when we checked the storage bag, we found out that the man was actually a core disciple of the Yuling Sect.

We immediately knew we had gotten into a big disaster because the person who died was a core disciple of the Yuling Sect, and we would definitely investigate it thoroughly.

We were likely to be discovered, so we didn’t dare to stay and immediately left the Yuling Sect’s sphere of influence. We have traveled to many places over the years and finally came here.”

Lin Changqing's heart moved. Could it be...
