Chapter 360 Banquet

Lin Xun returned to the Mind Cleansing Hall, washed up and changed into a new set of clothes, feeling refreshed.

The training sessions with Xiaoke had allowed him to practice a fighting style belonging to the Spirit Sea Stage and allowed him to bring out his true power perfectly.

He was very satisfied with the result.

Cultivation improvement couldn’t be achieved overnight and was based on progress over time.

Lin Xun wasn’t in a hurry. His cultivation speed had already surpassed many people’s in the world.

Simply speaking, Lin Xun wouldn’t make another cultivation breakthrough any time soon so he planned to focus on practicing his cultivation arts.

He had already comprehended Moon-Catch, which was much more profound than Star-Gather.

Although his comprehension of Moon-Catch was only at the Elemental Realm, its power was much greater than Star-Gather at the Perfect Realm.

The cultivation arts were different from the Heavenly Yuan Blade Art in that it tested a cultivator’s cultivation base. The stronger one’s cultivation base, the stronger its power.

Most importantly, the nine great moves of the Nine Heavenshaking Destructions could be combined and integrated into new moves.

When Lin Xun was able to completely integrate the nine great moves of the Nine Heavenshaking Destruction and display them in one strike, he was considered to have reached the Perfect Realm.

That strike was also known as the Heavenshaking Strike.

However, Lin Xun was still a distance from reaching that stage.

In short, cultivation arts training and cultivation were the same in that they were both endless. He would need to search up and down the long road.

While Lin Xun was in deep concentration, Lin Zhong rushed in anxiously.

“Young Master, Young Master Shi Yu has sent over an invitation.” Lin Zhong handed over the invitation card.

Lin Xun received it and took a look. Lin Xun was invited to attend a banquet tonight along with many students of Blood Kill Camp.

Lin Xun suddenly remembered that Shi Yu had mentioned that he would host a banquet to gather with the former Blood Kill Camp students.

“Uncle Zhong, can you and Third Old Zhu come with me tonight?” asked Lin Xun.

At night, Lin Xun, Lin Zhong and Third Old Zhu headed down Mind Cleansing Peak.

Mind Cleansing Peak was much livelier than in the past. Under Spirit Vulture’s arrangement, Blood Thorn’s Alchemy Workshop and Yang Ling’s Blacksmith Workshop were in full operation.

Even Old Diao was very busy setting up rune arrays around Mind Cleansing Peak.

Spirit Vulture had again recruited a group of loyal and trustworthy servants from the Forbidden City to help them deal with miscellaneous tasks. There were around fifty new servants, but with Xiaoke keeping a close watch on them every day, there wouldn’t be any problems.

Lin Xun couldn’t help feeling emotional as he walked around Mind Cleansing Peak. It’s no longer as quiet and deserted as before, and it’s beginning to show signs of improvement. Although the changes are small, Mind Cleansing Peak will one day present a new appearance to the world!

However, Blood Thorn rushing over from the distance snapped Lin Xun awake from his emotional state.

“Lin Xun, are you going to do anything about those bastards? Today, they ruined all sixteen of my Butterfly Blood Flowers that I managed to plant after much difficulty!”

Blood Thorn’s face was livid.

He was a war medical practitioner, but also a skilled alchemist. His fury showed just how important the Butterfly Blood Flower was to him.

“Who?” Lin Xun asked blankly.

“Who else could it be? The bastards that the North Light Lin Clan sent over here! Those hedonistic young masters are all arrogant, willful and lazy. I don’t understand why you agreed to let them live on Mind Cleansing Peak!” Blood Thorn was clearly raging and he vented it all on Lin Xun.

Understanding dawned on Lin Xun. Then, a chilling intent crossed his face. “Blood Thorn, take me to see them, and I will make sure justice is served.”

A few days ago, at the request of the North Light Lin Clan, a group of youngsters were sent to Mind Cleansing Peak. Nominally, they were there to assist Lin Xun and listen to his orders. However, Lin Xun, after deliberation, decided to not arrange jobs for them yet and planned to observe them for a period to find out their characters and backgrounds.

At that time, Lin Xun issued three prohibitions to them. They weren’t allowed near Mind Cleansing Hall. They weren’t allowed to bring outsiders into Mind Cleansing Peak without his permission, and they weren’t allowed to cause trouble and destruction on Mind Cleansing Peak.

Of course, Lin Xun knew that it was impossible to expect them to obey the three prohibitions.

He was proven right. Ever since they arrived on Mind Cleansing Peak, they had only been drinking and having fun. They often gathered together to gamble and created a murky atmosphere on Mind Cleansing Peak.

Their actions were still within the limit that Lin Xun could tolerate, and he was too lazy to deal with them, so as not to make his Fifth Elder Uncle think that he was deliberately making things difficult for the clansmen.

However, it seemed that his leniency had contributed to their arrogance.

Lin Xun couldn’t tolerate the fact that they dared to destroy Blood Thorn’s medicinal garden!

Blood Thorn guided Lin Xun to the group of youngsters from the North Light Lin Clan.

There were around a dozen people, both men and women. They were all sitting along a clear stream, drinking and laughing.

They were startled to see Blood Thorn and Lin Xun, but they then laughed disapprovingly.

“We just picked a few flowers of yours, and you ran off to get help. You’re too stingy,” remarked a young man.

“That’s right, we need the flowery aroma for drinks. You should be honored that we picked your flowers, but you still don’t know how fortunate you are. How disappointing!”

“Do you think we would be scared that you called Lin Xun? What a joke! Who is he? How can he decide what we can and cannot do?”

All the men and women burst into laughter.

Blood Thorn was so enraged that his veins popped on his forehead, and he gnashed his teeth. “Lin Xun did you see? Those bastards…you invited here are all simply lawless!”

A young man with puffy eyes sprang up, pointing and yelling at Blood Thorn. “Who are you calling a bastard? Do you have a death wish?”

Lin Xun sighed and clapped Blood Thorn on the shoulder. “It’s my fault. I failed to take care of this. Leave it to me. It won’t happen again.”

“Haha, Lin Xun, you talk big. We just picked a few flowers, but you also have to stick your nose into it? You…”

Before the young man with puffy eyes finished his sentence, Lin Xun lashed out with a kick to his stomach.

His body rose into the air like a broken kite and slammed into a rock tens of feet away. With a boom, the rock crumbled to smithereens. It was obvious how strong the kick was.

The youngster convulsed, then foam gathered around his mouth and he lost consciousness.

The other youngsters jumped up in shock. Their expressions dramatically changed as they glared at Lin Xun.

“You dare hit us?”

“Although Mind Cleansing Peak is your territory, the North Light Lin Clan won’t let you off for what you have done!”

“Don’t think that you can do anything you want and we will obey you just because you defeated Big Brother Xuefeng! No way!”

They roared, seemingly arrogant and haughty, but, in truth, fear was flashing in their eyes. They were clearly scared that Lin Xun would ruthlessly attack them.

Rumble—

Lin Xun didn’t want to waste time talking nonsense to them. With a flick of his sleeve, a gush of terrifying sky blue aeth power took the shape of a giant hand and enveloped the entire space.

Following several muffled booms, the dozen youngsters were on their knees, screaming in agony.

“Listen, I don’t have the energy to play with you. Since the North Light Lin Clan has sent you here, you better obediently listen to me and not create trouble for me.”

Lin Xun’s voice was icy cold and full of threat. He exuded an aura unique to the Spirit Sea Stage that made the youngsters shudder with fear to the extent that they didn’t dare to utter a single sound.

“Remember, this mustn’t happen again!” Lin Xun turned around and left.

On the way, he instructed Lin Zhong, “Tell the bastards to start working. They will do whatever the servants on Mind Cleansing Peak do. If they don’t obey, then let Xiaoke personally deal with them. I’m certain they won’t dare to be like this again.”

“Young Master, the North Light Lin Clan sent those thorns here to test your ability in controlling your subordinates. If you do this…”

Lin Xun interrupted before Lin Zhong finished his sentence, “This is how I control my subordinates. When dealing with such arrogant youngsters, it’s best to put them in their place!”

Taken aback, Lin Zhong said nothing else.

“Then I’ll take my leave now.” Blood Thorn’s anger had almost quelled. He gave a cupped fist salute and took his leave.

As Lin Xun watched him leave, he said ruminatively, “Uncle Zhong, Blood Thorn is a Spirit Sea cultivator but also a medicinal practitioner. His strength is unquestionable, but he never took action against those bastards even if he was furious. Do you know why?”

Lin Zhong pondered for a while and explained, “Because he is an outsider compared to those arrogant bastards. As an outsider, he would be overstepping his authority if he taught people of the Lin Family a lesson and that would bring a lot of trouble. He knows this very well, so he came to find you to help him get justice.”

“Yes, now I finally understand why Spirit Vulture spent so much effort to invite Blood Thorn and others to come to help me. People like him are not only talented and capable but also have a clear understanding of the ways of the world. It’s rare to find people like him,” Lin Xun said admiringly.

As they were speaking, they left Mind Cleansing Peak.

“Let’s go to Precious Laughter House.”

Lin Xun gave an order to Third Old Zhu and got on the carriage with Lin Zhong. Taking advantage of the wonderful twilight, they headed into the distance.
