Now that he has sent so many communication symbols to contact Lin Xi, there must be something big going on.
Lin Xi didn't even bother to look at what was written on it. She immediately raised the Lihen Sword and ordered the purple-scaled snake: "Help me guard the cave."
"Yes, Lord...Master." The purple-scaled snake struggled to adapt to his new identity.
Lin Xi took the sword and left.
The speed of the foundation-building monk's sword was already astonishingly fast. He could fly hundreds of miles in an hour. In just a moment, Lin Xi passed through several fairy mountains and arrived at the outer gate.
He soon arrived at Zheng Qipeng's courtyard.
Zheng Qipeng's small courtyard is still full of mechanical feeling as always, with white steam constantly spurting out from weird-shaped pipes, and the white tower to the east has mottled marks and a metallic texture.
But at this moment Lin Xi was a little surprised.
Because there were actually many disciples gathered around the entrance of Zheng Qipeng's small courtyard.
Not only the outer sect disciples, but also many inner sect disciples, and even a few foundation-building monks, totaling up to fifty or sixty people.
really weird.
Because of Zheng Qipeng's withdrawn character, his family has always been neglected.
Why did so many guests suddenly come?
These disciples were agitated and didn't know what was going on.
When Lin Xi walked in, she heard the curses from a group of disciples.
"Puppet monster, get out of here."
"Despicable villain, return my hard-earned money."
"Either hand over the puppet or refund the money. Why don't you act like a coward if you have the guts to do so?"
"You are not a human being. You defrauded me of all your belongings and then you disappeared."
"It's so shameless. How dare you close the door?"
"If you don't come out, I will report it to the sect. Come out quickly."
"We won't leave if you don't pay back the money. We will come back every day. You have the Eighteen Guards in Golden Armor who can stand shoulder to shoulder in building a foundation. But in the future, I will come here again and again and splash red paint on you. I'll see what you do."
A disciple of the Qingyun Sect, who has even come up with the idea of splashing red paint, must have been forced into such a state.
Lin Xi frowned, squeezed into the crowd and asked, "What happened?"
The person being questioned turned his head with some dissatisfaction. He originally wanted to curse, but felt Lin Xi's foundation-building aura and suddenly withered away, and answered honestly: "He owes us money."
"Huh? How is that possible?" Lin Xi replied subconsciously.
He gave Zheng Qipeng a lot of money.
There is no reason for the other party to lend money.
And with Zheng Qipeng's temperament, he didn't even bother to borrow money.
The disciple was anxious: "How is it impossible? He agreed to sell the puppet to us, but after receiving the money, he refused to give it to the puppet and blocked everyone out of the yard."
"Is there such a thing?" Lin Xi instinctively didn't believe it.
Zheng Qipeng's puppets are too expensive, and even though everyone thinks they are good, they are not willing to buy them.
Why do so many people suddenly appear and buy puppets?
"How much did you spend on the puppet?" Lin Xi asked again.
The disciple reported the number.
Lin Xi understood immediately.
The price these disciples paid for purchasing puppets was only one-third of the usual price, or even lower. No wonder so many people were "scammed" all of a sudden.
What on earth is Zheng Qipeng doing?
If you need money, just wait for your reply.
How much money can be defrauded by cheating these disciples?
At best, it’s only a few hundred thousand spirit stones.
Because Zheng Qipeng gave all the puppets to Lin Xi, and he was busy making puppets with promotion potential, of course he did not make new puppets to sell.
Seeing the excitement among the crowd, Lin Xi could only stand up: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet."
Lin Xi released the foundation building pressure.
All of a sudden all the Qi Refining disciples shut up.
The scene fell silent.
But those foundation building disciples were a little annoyed.
"Who are you?" A Foundation Establishment disciple asked, "Why do you want us to be quiet?"
Lin Xi said lightly: "My name is Lin Xi."
Lin Xi?
Several Foundation Establishment disciples thought for a moment and seemed to have heard of this name.
It seems to be quite famous in the inner sect recently.
"I don't know Lin Xi, I only know that this bastard cheated me of 20,000 spiritual stones." A foundation-building monk gritted his teeth and shouted, wanting to rush into the small courtyard on the spot.
Unfortunately, there were restrictions in the small courtyard that could kill or injure the foundation-building monks, so he did not dare to break in without permission.
Lin Xi's eyes were slightly cold: "I want you to be quiet."
With a thought in his mind, a blood-colored invisible small sword instantly condensed, and a sense of desolation and sadness filled the air. You could even hear the faint chirping of cicadas.
Buzz!
When the foundation-building disciple heard Lin Xi scolding him, he became furious. Just as he was about to speak, he felt a sharp blade pressed between his eyebrows, making the hairs on his body stand up.
If you get even half an inch closer, your soul will be shattered.
So fast!
It was too fast, so fast that he couldn't react at all.
They are all at the basic level of foundation building, so why can't they even react to the opponent's attacks?
It's so weird.
The foundation-building disciple shuddered and suddenly did not dare to speak.
"I remembered, it was Lin Xi, the Lin Xi who single-handedly slaughtered ten Foundation Establishment monks and ten Foundation Establishment level monsters in the Xuanyun Palace three months ago." A disciple suddenly said.
Everyone reacted immediately.
After all, this matter is indeed quite controversial.
"And it seems that he has become a true disciple candidate." Someone whispered.
"It's true, it's so powerful."
"You have become a true disciple candidate at the early stage of foundation building. It is not unprecedented, but it is indeed rare."
Lin Xi's reputation is still very useful.
After knowing Lin Xi's identity, none of these people dared to mess around.
"Zheng Qipeng owes you money?" Lin Xi asked.
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
Lin Xi said: "Don't worry, he cheated you of many spiritual stones, I gave them to him, don't make any noise here."
Of course all the disciples wish for this.
It would be great to be able to find the spirit stone.
Lin Xi said slowly: "Come on, line up one by one. Come to me and get as many spiritual stones as he cheated from you. Be honest and don't report randomly."
The name of the person whose shadow is the tree.
No one wants to offend the true successor candidate.
Each one of them came forward obediently and took away their own spiritual stones.
After dismissing these disciples, Lin Xi walked into the small courtyard with some dissatisfaction.
Because Lin Xi's aura was detected, the restrictions in the small courtyard were not activated.
Lin Xi walked into the small courtyard. The courtyard was still the same, filled with the smell of metal ore, blood and ink, sweat, alcohol and other messy smells.
Among the piles of scattered puppet materials, a down-and-out middle-aged man lay in the middle, sound asleep, holding a pot of spiritual wine in his left hand. The spiritual energy was rich, but not a drop was left. His right hand held the grinding equipment and refused to let go.
Beside him, a blood-black humanoid puppet has gradually taken shape, wearing a helmet and no face, the majestic armor is slightly ferocious, and a mysterious orb with light blue light is embedded in the chest.
