Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 80 - 77: Little Monk Linghui

The second young master of Xu Family, Xu Yuan, who had attained the height of Anjin, would lead the team. The team will mainly constitute of Mingjin experts from Ma Zi Gang, with Vice-head Yang, a Huajin master, accompanying them to handle any unexpected situations.

On the other hand, Lingyin Temple only boasts a single martial arts instructor who had mastered Anjin as their strongest combatant. The rest mainly focus on collecting medicinal herbs in the mountains, meaning their martial strength isn't necessarily very high.

After understanding the basic situation, Chen Yi slowly nodded, then proceeded to ask:

"Why does Xu Family want to destroy Lingyin Temple?"

"It's supposedly over the ownership of high level herbs pertaining to the promotion of martial artists. Xu Family intends to forcefully monopolize the herbs in Lingyin Temple,

but Lingyin Temple has a steady buyer hence their refusal.

Besides that, there are also rumors that Lingyin Temple was established by a monk who had left the Bright Temple. The martial arts he uses are related to what we are cultivating."

Hence when Xu Family and Ma Zi Gang considered this, they decided to make their move,

to destroy all the martial artists in Lingyin Temple, control the old abbot in the temple, and achieve their shared interests: Xu Family obtains the herbs while the gang gets hold of the martial arts.

In addition, after the host of Lingyin Temple got old, he is no longer able to intervene. Only a single Anjin master is guarding the temple. Given the present situation, the martial strength here would suit the gang perfectly,

We were told that among us, those who have contributed most in this battle will become the four Vajras and will be taught the Anjin method of the Iron Shirt Technique."

Again, Chen Yi nodded his head, and got reminded of something. Since Donor Yunhu knew where Senior Sister Qi is hiding, it's highly likely the gang also knew about it,

at the same time, Ma Zi Gang probably had another objective, that was to obtain the Iron Whip Leg technique and the Iron Wire Fist method from Qi Ying,

No wonder, this really is a "kill two birds with one stone" situation that doesn't actually impose much danger. It's indeed worth being done.

On the other hand, this is also true from my perspective: Xu Family and Ma Zi Gang, both being my enemies, have joined forces. They are going up against Senior Sister Qi and probably Lingyin Temple which might have some relation to Bright Temple.

I suppose it's actually quite inappropriate for me not to be involved.

Given my current strength, even if I would go against Vice head Yang, it's most likely going to end up a draw. Me defeating him may not be possible, but he certainly won't be able to harm me either.

However, this time I'm not going there to fight directly against Vice head Yang, hence there are many possibilities and opportunities for me.

Right, first let's go to the market in the Immortal Cultivation World and see what I can prepare as my stratagems.

Having thought this through, Chen Yi told Donor Yunhu:

"I am well aware of the matters you mentioned, and I will give it a thought. Rest assured, if I am going, I will use Chen Qi's appearance, and you won't have to worry."

"No, I also want to go. Worse case, I would use my original appearance and join as your newly recruited junior, and go with you.

I don't want Senior Sister Qi to be in danger nor do I want Ma Zi Gang to succeed!"

"We'll discuss this the day after tomorrow."

...

Meanwhile, Monk Linghui spent half a day traveling and managed to return to Lakeside County.

At the Feng Family mansion, just after discussing with Donor Yunhu, Chen Yi was considering his own strength, his hidden trump, the danger coefficient of this operation,

as well as the multiple objectives that he wanted to accomplish. He was ready with several alternate plans for each of these,

in the end, he found that he could deal with the situation,

even in this current exchange of fire, he could confront Ma Zi Gang head-on, and still have a survival rate of 99.99% and a 98% probability of remaining uninjured,

Especially now, that he assumes the identity of Chen QI, a gang member. There were so many things he could do.

Firstly, do this, then that, and if this happens, go with that, and if that happens, go with this.

Having planned for half a day in his room, Chen Yi prepared to visit Immortal Cultivation World's 32nd island to see if there were any other items he could stock up on.

Just then, Linghui arrived at the Feng Family mansion.

"Elder Feng, I finally figured it out. My mission here is to ask the Feng Family how many Turtle Snake Tiger Bone Pills you have left?

Can we change the ten monthly Fully Replenishing pills to Turtle Snake Tiger Bone Pills completely?

If Elder Feng has any conditions, you may propose them. Demon Suppression Alliance will fully cooperate!"

Little Monk Linghui gave his salutations to Elder Feng and promptly mentioned his purpose of visit.

Upon hearing this, Elder Feng snorted:

"Huh, weren't you the one who insisted on the exact number of ten Fully Replenishing pills?

"I am not allowed to use those trashy Tiger Bone Pills as substitutions anymore?"

"Why the sudden change of mind?"

Monk Linghui didn't get angry, but bowed again:

"Previously, I along with my fellow brothers misjudged the real thing and misunderstood you, Elder Feng.

Given your character, and the contributions you've made to the Demon Suppression Alliance and humanity, we, of course, believe in your medicine refining skills."

"Hmm, that's more like it." As he was praised, Elder Feng couldn't help a smile sneaking in.

"However," He quickly returned to his stern demeanor and continued,

"The main ingredients of the Turtle Snake Tiger Bone Pill are tiger bones and turtle snake blood that is over 50 years old. I happened to receive about three ounces from that youngster over there,

Apart from testing, at most I can refine 20 to 30 of these pills, which is enough to last for a month or two,

However, should you need more of these after, you'll have to bring me the materials yourself."

"Ah, it's turtle snake blood? That stuff requires us to delve deep into Demon Island, and it's only rare to run into one, let alone guarantee the age.

Isn't this material requirement too stringent?" exclaimed the little monk.

"What else would it be? Do you think the excellent efficacy of the medicine comes from thin air?

A single turtle snake can at least generate half a jin of blood. That boy only spared three ounces, maybe he has a turtle snake under his control, let it bleed, let it recuperate, and maybe after a while he can draw more blood,

But getting this from him depends on your capabilities."

With just two sentences, Elder Feng had sold out Chen Yi.

Upon hearing this, Little Monk Linghui turned his gaze to a room nearby. Without wasting time, he decided to approach and knock on the door:

"Are you Donor Yunhu?"

"Hmm? Do you need something?", Chen Yi, who was pretending to be Yunhu, replied.

"I heard that you have a turtle snake, I was wondering if I could buy it from you. I am Linghui, a disciple of the Demons Subduing Academy of Bright Temple, and I hope to acquire the turtle snake that's in your possession."

"Oh, I don't have that, and even if I did, I wouldn't sell it."

While Chen Yi verbalized his refusal, he pondered, 'Old Feng Tou is indeed not a good guy. He just sold me out. Plus, this monk from Bright Temple seems to lack emotional intelligence, blatantly wanting to buy someone else's treasure. Hmph, if it weren't for my desire to retrieve their heritage, I wouldn't even bother with you.'

Upon being rejected, a flash of anger crossed the Little Monk's face:

"Why are you being so selfish?! Again, you're just keeping the turtle snake for the purpose of enhancing your vitality and blood. If you were to dedicate it, it could save countless lives and bring peace to all mankind.

You can't just consider... Bang!"

Bang!

Before the little monk could even finish his sentence, Chen Yi shut the door in his face.

Who the hell are you? Just because you came here binding me with the righteousness of humankind, I don't care if you get lost.

Seeing himself shut out, the little monk was now really angry. Bang bang bang!

"Tell me what you want, I will find it for you, won't that suffice if we exchange it for the turtle snake?"

"I want all the martial arts heritage of your Bright Temple. Bring it, and I'll swap it straightaway."

A voice came from inside the room,

"Eh... That won't work, our temple's martial arts can only be passed on to the inner sect disciples, it can't be passed to you, please change your demand!"

"Why is your Bright Temple so selfish?! For the peace of all mankind, you're not willing to share your martial arts heritage? Why should I give you my turtle snake blood then?" Chen retorted straight back.

"Err... That's not the case. We're not selfish. It's just that there are only enough resources in the world for a select few to cultivate,

That's why we only choose the real martial arts geniuses. If you have talent, you can come to the temple and participate in the selection, and naturally you'll be able to learn martial arts."

When the little monk was morally blindfolded and retorted, he became a bit impatient. While explaining, he inadvertently revealed some truths of this world.

As soon as he spoke, he regretted it,

Sure enough, after hearing his words, Chen Yi immediately swung the door open,

"Monk Linghui, come in, let's have a chat."

Hehe, this kid's IQ really isn't that high, very easy to bait. Chances are, I could extract the Vajra Sutra technique off him, in that case, I wouldn't need to bother prying it from the Ma Zi Gang's leaders' mouths anymore.
