The two of them passed by each other calmly. The surrounding environment was terrifyingly quiet, as if the next wave of attacks was brewing.
At this moment, Lin Xun slowly came to the accountant's room, ready to receive the reward promised by Patriarch of Law Enforcement last night. He would not pretend to be aloof. If it was his, he would not be able to escape.
As the name suggested, the Body Tempering Pill was a pill that tempered the body. It was especially suitable for cultivators in the Body Tempering Realm. After taking the Body Tempering Pill and then exercising, it would take a year to break through the realm. Now, it could be shortened by half.
It was also priceless on the market. One would need a whole 100 taels of silver to buy a bottle. Only people like the Lin family, who had a large family and business, could give their disciples a bottle every month.
This pill was even more important to Lin Xun. He had never taken a Body Tempering Pill since he was young. If he took it now, the effect would be even more obvious. Then, the fourth stage of Body Tempering would be just around the corner.
Because it was not the day when the monthly salary was issued, there were few people in the accountant's room. From afar, Lin Xun saw Steward Liu lying comfortably on a recliner. The chair was made of thunderstruck wood. Because it contained the aura of lightning, sitting on such a chair for many years was quite comfortable, although it was not helpful for cultivation.
There was also a small wooden table beside the chair. A plate of wild fruits and a cup of tea were placed on the table. Manager Liu would pick up a wild fruit from time to time to taste it or take a sip of tea. He looked quite leisurely.
This made Lin Xun's eyes narrow. One had to know that chairs made of thunderstruck wood on the market cost at least 500 taels of silver. The value of the recliner in front of him must be even higher. Moreover, the wild fruit could only grow in the wilderness. Just one fruit cost one tael of silver. Commoners could not afford it. As for tea, he could not tell.
But even so, it was enough to show how rich Steward Liu was. A plate of wild fruits on the table was equivalent to Lin Xun's monthly salary. No wonder he was fed until he was white and fat, like a ball.
"Manager Liu's life is really leisurely.”Suddenly, a voice interrupted Steward Liu's peaceful and leisurely life. This made him quite angry. He immediately sat up and looked around.
He saw Lin Xun in front of him and smiled coldly."I was wondering who it was. So it's you, trash. Today isn't the day to give out your monthly salary. You'd better get lost.”
After he finished speaking, he continued to lie down on his chair and quietly enjoyed his leisurely time. Steward Liu's job was actually quite easy. The only thing he needed to do was to give out his monthly salary every month. The rest of the time, it was the disciples of the family who came to receive the rewards. However, he did not think that Lin Xun was qualified.
However, Lin Xun was no longer the same person as before. He couldn't cultivate in the past, so he had to endure endless humiliation. However, he had become a cultivator now, not to mention that he had Patriarch of Law Enforcement's token.
"Steward Liu, I need three bottles of Body Tempering Pills. Please give them to me."”His voice was stern, without a trace of politeness.
This made Steward Liu quite angry. In his job, the most important thing was to be well-informed. He knew who he could offend and who he could not. He had a reputation in his heart. The big shots gave more benefits. As for the small figures who no one stood up for, he did not care about what the other party thought.
That was why he had been able to secure his position as a relative of the Lin family. The most important thing was that he knew how to behave. Even if Linlong's servants came, he would still be polite, let alone the disciples of the elders.
However, it was obvious that in Manager Liu's heart, Lin Xun was not someone who could not be offended. When he suddenly heard this sentence, he even said angrily,"A piece of trash like you still wants a Body Tempering Pill? Wait for your next life. On account that I'm in a good mood today, get lost quickly.”
However, Lin Xun did not leave. He still said indifferently,"Elder rewarded me with three bottles of Body Tempering Pills. I hope Steward Liu will not make any mistakes.”
"Don't make a mistake? Who do you think you are? Could he be an elder?" Steward Liu couldn't take it anymore. He stood up and shouted,"I gave you face, but you don't want it. You're still here and not leaving. Then don't be ruthless.”
Immediately, Lin Xun, who was full of strength in his hand, swung his fist. Although Steward Liu was not talented, he was still the steward of the accounting room. He relied on the accumulation of resources to cultivate to the ninth layer of Body Tempering, but he could no longer break through to the Qi Condensation stage.
However, this realm was still quite profound for the disciples. At this moment, Steward Liu's fist technique was piercingly cold, bringing with it bursts of fist wind. It even blew Lin Xun's originally elegant long hair back. If he did not stop, Lin Xun would definitely be seriously injured.
However, it was also at this moment that Lin Xun calmly took out a token from his bosom. This caused Manager Liu's small eyes to reveal a look of fear as he cried out,"How can you have Patriarch of Law Enforcement's token?”
Then, he forcefully stopped the fist that had already been thrown out.
However, it was precisely because he had forcefully stopped cultivating midway that Steward Liu's blood essence was somewhat dispirited. Even his gaze had become somewhat unfocused. It could be said that he had suffered internal injuries and needed to quietly recuperate for a period of time.
However, at this moment, Steward Liu did not care about his injuries at all. He had a charming smile on his face."Isn't this little brother Lin Xun? I didn't expect you to have time to come to my place today. Three bottles of Body Refinement Pills, right? This was a small problem, so there was no need to be polite.”
After saying that, he immediately took out three bottles of Body Tempering Pills. In order to curry favor with Lin Xun, he even specially offered a hundred taels of silver as compensation.
Surprised at the speed of Manager Liu's change of expression, Lin Xun's mouth revealed a trace of a smile and said softly," Actually, it's nothing serious. I was lucky enough to get Patriarch of Law Enforcement's attention. Steward Liu, I think this chair is made of thunderstruck wood. Its value…"
Steward Liu's face was gloomy after hearing Lin Xun's words. He had never thought that a useless person in his family would be valued by Patriarch of Law Enforcement. It was like the wheel of fortune had turned. I know you're corrupt.
This frightened him. Patriarch of Law Enforcement abhorred evil and was quite strict. He was also one of the most powerful people in the family. Although it was normal for him to be greedy, he could not imagine the final result if he knew that he had embezzled so much.
Immediately, Steward Liu could not help but take out five bottles of Body Refinement Pills again. He was so pained that the fat on his body trembled."Brother Lin Xun, since you don't come often, take some pills back to nourish yourself.”
The other party's attitude could be said to be quite weak, but Lin Xun was not fooled by the other party. He took the item without a word and continued,"Of course I know about Steward Liu's matter. I didn't do anything wrong, but..."
Speaking up to this point, Lin Xun could not help but be a little stumped. Seeing that the other party was really a little anxious, he said indifferently,"But I haven't received a bottle of Body Tempering Pills in the past ten years.”
As soon as he said this, Steward Liu's face turned ashen, and even his intestines turned green with regret. Why was he so cheap back then? It was fine if he embezzled a little, but he actually deducted the other party's Body Tempering Pills for ten years in a row. One had to know that that was not a small amount, a total of 120 bottles. If he were to expose it now, he would definitely not be able to be a manager.
One had to know that this position was a lucrative one. Steward Liu did not want to give it up at all, but when he thought of the 120 bottles of Body Tempering Pills, not only did his heart ache, but there was even a part of his body that did not hurt. He immediately begged softly,"Brother Lin Xun, can you be merciful?”
This made Lin Xun laugh coldly. He was being magnanimous now. You were the one who did this to the extreme back then. He immediately rejected,"Steward Liu, I can't do anything about it. After all, I'm just a disciple, so I have to report the truth.”
These words completely shattered the hope in Manager Liu's heart. After hesitating for a long time, he slowly took out a bottle of medicinal pills from his bosom. However, he continued to sit there and meditate. Lin Xun was not in a hurry and quietly waited for the other party.
After a while, Steward Liu seemed to have felt enough heartache. He slowly handed over the pill in his hand and said in a hoarse voice,"Brother Lin Xun, I don't have any more Body Tempering Pills, but there is a Qi Refining Pill in this bottle. Its value is a hundred times more than the Body Tempering Pill. I originally planned to use it to break through to the Qi Refining Stage, but now it seems that it is fated with you!”
This surprised Lin Xun. He didn't expect the other party to have such a rare item. Although Lin Xun didn't have a sense of existence, he still knew some information.
The Qi Refining Pill was already considered an extremely rare item in Qingyun Town. As long as one took one when they were at Body Tempering Stage Nine, the success rate of breaking through could even increase by 30%. Its value was worth hundreds of Body Tempering Pills.
After all, only the Zhao Family, the leader of the three major families, could refine it in the entire Qingyun Town. Moreover, there were very few of them. If one did not have enough connections, they would not be able to buy it at all, which led to the price doubling.
This medicinal pill was basically all of Steward Liu's wealth. If it was said that he was only distressed to the point that his fat was trembling, then his face had already turned green. His eyes were filled with reluctance to part with the Qi Refining Pill.
As long as he couldn't be extreme, although Steward Liu was a hateful person, he only embezzled his monthly salary. His crime was not worthy of death. This pill completely made up for the amount that Lin Xun had been embezzled by him. Immediately, he nodded his head in satisfaction: "Since Steward Liu is so polite, then I have no idea. Thank you.”
After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving behind Steward Liu, who was standing on the spot with a pained expression.
As he walked, he touched the medicinal pill in his arms. This made Lin Xun somewhat incredulous. He did not expect that he would actually gain so much from pulling the tiger's skin. In just an instant, he calmed down.
Steward Liu had gained so much today because he was afraid of Patriarch of Law Enforcement, not because he was afraid of Lin Xun. In the end, it was still a matter of strength. If Lin Xun was a cultivator in the Mortal Realm, what would the result be?
However, since he had obtained so many resources today, especially a Qi Refining Pill, the biggest obstacle to entering the Qi Refining Realm was gone. As long as he worked hard, he would definitely succeed.
