Lin Fan was shocked, and in a flash he came directly outside the stone house.
At this moment, the foundation-building immortal cultivators from the seven major immortal cultivator sects in Chu State have already gathered here.
Elder Hu, who was guarding Tianquan Spiritual Medicine Mountain, stood with his hands behind his back in the air with a cold expression. The bone-chilling murderous intent and the terrifying pressure of the pill formation stage had been completely released.
Seeing Lin Fan coming out of the stone house, Elder Hu waved his hand expressionlessly.
"Take it!"
Lin Fan was shocked.
But at this time, he would not just surrender.
With a thought in his mind, the spiritual power in his body was quietly moving, and several middle-grade fireball talismans were held tightly in his hands.
"Elder Hu, I have been practicing in seclusion these days and never go out. What do you mean?"
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became depressing.
The two foundation-building immortal cultivators originally wanted to capture Lin Fan, but when they saw that Lin Fan looked wary and seemed to have plans to take action, they immediately hesitated.
Elder Hu sneered again and again.
"Boy, what are you pretending to be? Not long ago, someone broke into the secret room where the spirit crystal beads were stored and stole more than 5,000 spirit crystal beads. I asked the Spirit-Gathering Heavenly Rat to look for the traces of the thief. The Spirit-Gathering Heavenly Rat
I’m not going anywhere, I’m coming straight to you. What else do you have to explain?”
Although Elder Hu is an elder in the Qixuan Sect's Dan Formation Stage, his current responsibility is to guard the Tianquan Spiritual Medicine Mountain.
Now that the spiritual crystal bead was stolen, he would naturally be responsible.
Even if Lin Fan is from the same sect, Elder Hu doesn't intend to be lenient.
"this……"
Lin Fan had a headache.
During this period of time, I have been practicing in the stone house and never left. It is naturally impossible to steal the spiritual crystal beads.
Now, Elder Hu's Spirit-Gathering Heavenly Rat is coming straight towards him. This is clearly someone's frame-up.
If this matter is not resolved as soon as possible, Lin Fan may really become a scapegoat.
"Placing blame on others, with calculated calculations but no intentions. This person is quite vicious and scheming."
Lin Fan cursed secretly.
On the surface he remained calm, but in his mind he was rapidly thinking of countermeasures.
"The gathering spirit rat is very sensitive to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and various smells. There must be something on my body that attracts it. Has someone tampered with me?"
Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel shocked.
These days, only when he first came here, he participated in private trade fairs with Chen Yu, Liu Wuyang and others.
The rest of the time, Lin Fan stayed in the stone house meditating and practicing.
Even if others wanted to do anything to him, they wouldn't have a chance.
There is only one explanation at the moment.
"Did someone start plotting against me during the private trade fair?" Lin Fan secretly smiled bitterly.
At this time, Lin Fan had no direct evidence and could not identify anyone out of thin air.
After thinking for a while, Lin Fan frowned slightly.
"Elder Hu, are you sure it was me who stole the spiritual crystal beads?"
Elder Hu sneered and raised his head coldly and arrogantly, looking extremely impatient.
"You are only in the middle stage of foundation building, but you dare to be so presumptuous in front of me? If it weren't for the sake of senior brother Xuan Lingzi, I would have slapped you to death. Hand over the spirit crystal beads!" Elder Hu sneered.
Lin Fan's pressure increased greatly.
Even though he is a direct disciple of Qixuanmen Piaomiao Peak, his level is too low after all.
Facing Elder Hu who was in the early stage of forming the pill, he had no power to fight back.
It seemed that at this moment, Lin Fan could only serve as the scapegoat.
However, Lin Fan was not in a hurry.
While talking to Elder Hu just now, his spiritual thoughts quietly dispersed and he closely observed every move of everyone present.
Just when Elder Hu wanted him to hand over the spiritual crystal bead, Chen Yu seemed to have a calm expression, but his eyelids blinked slightly. Deep in his eyes, there was a hint of sneer.
As for Liu Wuyang, there is always a faint melancholy between his eyebrows, and he seems to be worried about something.
The other foundation-building immortal cultivators did not notice the changes in their expressions, nor did Elder Hu.
Only Lin Fan could see all this clearly.
"This matter is probably related to Chen Yu and Liu Wuyang."
Lin Fan felt an indescribable fear in his heart.
"At the private trade meeting, Chen Yu was tricked by me. It seemed that I had the upper hand. I'm afraid that this was Chen Yu and Liu Wuyang playing tricks on each other to prepare for framing me." Lin Fan thought to himself.
At this moment, Lin Fan had a new understanding of the intrigues in the world of immortal cultivators.
After carefully sorting out the general process of the matter, Lin Fan calmed down a lot.
Without waiting for Elder Hu to urge him, Lin Fan flipped his palm and took out a storage ring.
At this moment, a spirit-gathering celestial rat that was as big as a kitten and shaped like a mouse jumped out of Elder Hu's sleeve.
Zhizhi screamed with excitement and rushed towards Lin Fan.
Seeing this, Elder Hu first looked happy, and then sneered: "Sure enough, you stole the spiritual crystal beads!"
Lin Fan remained silent, only waiting for the storage ring in his hand to be snatched away by the Spirit-Gathering Heavenly Rat, and then he smiled faintly.
"Elder Hu, please don't accuse me unjustly. Just take a look at the contents of the storage ring." Lin Fan said.
The storage ring he gave Elder Hu just now contained indeed spiritual crystal beads.
But they were all defective products bought from Liu Wuyang.
These things cannot be used by immortal cultivators at all. Usually, they are brought out by the immortal cultivators who guard the Tianling Spring and used as props for deception.
Even if Elder Hu saw these spiritual crystal beads, he would not be able to punish Lin Fan.
"Defective products?"
Elder Hu looked surprised after looking at the spiritual crystal beads in the storage ring.
But he still didn't believe that his Spirit-Gathering Heavenly Rat would be deceived by these defective products.
In front of everyone, Elder Hu asked the Spirit-Gathering Heavenly Rat to confirm it several times.
Elder Hu himself was dumbfounded when he saw the Spirit-Gathering Heavenly Rat heading towards the storage ring containing defective spirit crystal beads every time.
"Impossible. My Spirit-Gathering Heavenly Rat is a late-stage foundation-building monster. It is very sensitive to the aura of heaven and earth and can distinguish scents. It will never make a mistake."
The atmosphere at the scene became weird again.
Everyone looked at Elder Hu with confusion.
This greatly increased the pressure on Elder Hu.
Although he is in the early stage of pill formation, these immortal cultivators in the foundation stage are not easy to save. Moreover, each of them has a huge background.
If this matter is not handled well, you may get yourself into big trouble if you are not careful.
For a time, Elder Hu was in trouble.
At this moment, Chen Yu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said: "Elder Hu, I swear on my inner demons, Junior Brother Lin definitely did not steal the spirit crystal bead. Maybe it is really your spirit beast that was mistaken."
"What are you talking about? How could I make a mistake with my Soul-Gathering Heavenly Rat?"
Elder Hu's face darkened and his tone became extremely cold.
Chen Yu was unwilling to give in and continued to defend Lin Fan.
"Elder Hu, I firmly believe that Junior Brother Lin Fan did not steal the Spiritual Crystal Bead. If you don't believe me, you can search him personally to prove Junior Brother Lin's innocence."
Chen Yu seemed eager to clear Lin Fan's name.
But Lin Fan's expression turned extremely ugly.
Every cultivator has his own secret.
Especially Lin Fan, who was carrying the mysterious copper bottle and taking the Holy Blood Pill, would definitely die if someone discovered that he was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment.
Thinking of this, Lin Fan's pressure increased again.
Before he could open his mouth to defend himself, Elder Hu nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I agree to your request. Search Lin Fan face to face to prove his innocence!"
