Fairy Eye

Puff puff puff, slap slap slap!

A series of sounds rang out at the courtyard gate. Zhao Changping only had time to raise a protective magic shield before it was swallowed up by the dazzling golden light.

The magic shield was of decent quality, but in the rush, it didn't even have time to solidify before it was pierced by a series of flying knives, which were heading straight for Zhao Changping's body.

"Ah—!" Immediately afterward, Zhao Changping's shrill scream came from behind the golden light.

Upon seeing this, the man in blue's eyes lit up. He reached for his waist, and as a flash of light appeared in his palm, a gleaming broadsword materialized.

The instant the golden talisman's light vanished, he charged forward with his sword, not even glancing at the figure swaying precariously before him, and slashed fiercely at it.

The figure shifted to the side, and the blade slashed fiercely at the opponent's shoulder. An arm fell to the ground, and as blood spurted out, Zhao Changping's heart-wrenching scream rang out once again.

He fell to the ground, covered in blood, staring at the person in front of him with a look of terror on his face.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me, I'll give you anything you want..."

"What do you want...?"

The young man sneered, "I'll take your life!"

As he spoke, he twirled the broadsword in his hand and slashed it fiercely at Zhao Changping's neck on the ground.

when!

Unexpectedly, before the blade could fall, Zhao Changping suddenly rolled over, causing the blade to strike the bluestone ground.

When the young man raised his knife to chase and slash again, a ferocious look flashed across Zhao Changping's face, and a dazzling golden light suddenly flew from his fingertips, striking the young man hard between the eyebrows.

Clang!

The heavy broadsword fell limply to the ground.

The young man's face instantly froze, his gradually unfocused pupils filled with resentment.

"So, the difference between the fourth level of Qi Refining and the eighth level of Qi Refining is this big..."

"Father, Mother, please forgive your child for being useless... unable to avenge you..."

Tang Chuan was filled with helplessness and bitterness.

He originally thought that with fifty mid-grade spirit talismans and a surprise attack, he could take Zhao Changping's life. Even if he was executed by the Enforcement Hall, it would be worth it.

Unexpectedly, this is the final outcome.

Although Zhao Changping lost an arm and had multiple punctures, it was clearly not fatal.

Tang Chuan's consciousness rapidly dissipated. He glanced at Zhao Changping with resentment before collapsing heavily to the ground, where he remained motionless.

Zhao Changping didn't look at Tang Chuan. Just as his mood eased, excruciating pain surged through his entire body, turning his face as pale as paper in an instant. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his lips twitched as he let out painful groans.

……

Han Lin learned about this three days later.

That morning, Han Lin asked Luo San to bring the spirit crane so they could go to the main peak medicine garden.

Luo San inadvertently asked, "Senior brother, I heard that Senior Brother Zhao had an accident, did you know?"

"Senior Brother Zhao?" Han Lin asked, puzzled. "Oh, you mean Zhao Changping?"

"Yes, it is said that he was attacked a few days ago and was seriously injured. He couldn't even walk. It was the deputy head of the Enforcement Hall who personally brought him back."

"Assassinated? What exactly happened?" Han Lin became interested as soon as he heard that Zhao Changping was seriously injured.

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics either."

"However, according to the brother who took care of him, he was caught off guard at night. Not only did he lose an arm, but he also has countless bloody holes all over his body. It will probably take him more than half a year to recover."

"I heard that the elder's other disciples have all gone to visit. Senior brother, if you have time, you should go and see him too. After all, you are from the same sect, so that the elder won't gossip about you when he comes out of seclusion."

Luo San seemed to be a quick-witted person, and he always put Han Lin's needs first.

"So badly injured?" Han Lin feigned surprise, but inwardly he was delighted.

They deserved it for using the secret passage.

He then asked, "Who attacked him? Has the Enforcement Hall found out?"

"There's no need to investigate at all; I heard the assassin died on the spot."

"Dead?"

"That's right, that person was just an outer disciple at the fourth level of Qi Refining. Although Senior Brother Zhao was seriously injured in the sneak attack, he was not someone that Zhao could kill. Zhao killed him in a single move!"

"who is he?"

"It's said to be someone named Tang Chuan."

"Tang Chuan!"

Han Lin's expression immediately froze upon hearing this.

"So that's how it is. You didn't take the talisman to go out and train at all. You just wanted to avenge your parents... But why did you do this? You're still young. You have plenty of time in the future..." Han Lin felt a deep sense of sympathy.

Suddenly remembering something, he looked down at the Absolute Divine Jade at his waist.

"No wonder you said you wouldn't need this jade pendant anymore. You probably already had the resolve to die before you left."

"But unfortunately, you underestimated the power of the eighth level of Qi Refining. It's not something that a few mid-grade spirit talismans can kill." He reached out and touched the Absolute Divine Jade, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

"Senior brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing Han Lin suddenly fall silent, Luo San assumed that he was saddened by what happened to Senior Brother Zhao.

"It's alright, I'll go to the main peak herb garden first." Han Lin came to his senses, took the reins from Luo San, sat on the crane's back, and headed straight for the main peak.

In the center of a bamboo forest on the main peak, there is a medicinal herb field covered by thick fog.

To the right of the entrance to the medicinal herb field, there is a thatched hut.

A young servant lived inside the house and was currently meditating and cultivating, taking advantage of the abundant spiritual energy.

Just then, a crane descended from the sky and landed outside the thatched hut.

Upon seeing this, the young man quickly stepped forward and asked, "Who are you?"

"Han Lin".

"So it's Senior Brother Han! I was blind to his greatness." The young man was startled upon hearing this and quickly bowed respectfully.

"No need for formalities. My master said there are Nightshade Grasses in here? He sent me to fetch some. I came to see if they're ripe yet," Han Lin said calmly, gazing at the thick fog before him.

"The elder has already told me about this, but the Nightshade Grass is not yet ripe. Would you like to go in and take a look, senior brother?" The young man in plain clothes was not surprised when he heard this and said respectfully.

"Um."

Han Lin nodded.

Upon hearing this, the young man in plain clothes immediately took out a jade talisman, activated it, and shone it on the clouds in front of him. After the clouds churned, a blank passage appeared.

"Senior brother, come with me." Seeing this, the young man went in first.

Han Lin followed slowly behind, and after he passed through the passage, the interior suddenly opened up.

On more than a dozen long ridges, hundreds of medicinal herbs were planted in neat rows.

"Senior brother, look, that's the Nightshade Grass."

The young man in plain clothes pointed to several medicinal herbs in front of him that looked like mint but were entirely black.

"The elder said that when the Nightshade Grass is fully mature, many silver spots will appear on the surface of its leaves, like stars! It is clear that it is not mature yet."

Han Lin nodded and asked, "Based on your experience, how long do you think it will take for it to mature?"

"That's hard to say, because this Nightshade Grass was newly planted by the Elder, and I've never seen it before."

"I see..."

Han Lin thought for a moment and said, "Master urgently needs this medicine. Since you haven't cultivated it before, why don't you let me pick two plants and transplant them to my herb garden to try? I have a spiritual spring there, which might be able to speed up the maturation of this medicine."
