I've seen the hook-nosed man a lot these days and doesn't care about the shopkeeper of Fengchi Medicine Pavilion.
What surprised him was that the strange man in black didn't seem to be such a person in his memory.
"Master in Black Robe."
"Master, you are here."
Before the hook-nosed man could ask questions, the attendants from the Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion nearby shouted happily.
The hook-nosed man's eyes suddenly shrank and he stared at Lin Mu: "You are the black-robed master?"
Seeing him so solemn, the other Liu family guards didn't find it strange at all, and they even looked more solemn than the hook-nosed man.
This is really because Master Black Robe is so famous.
First, he refined the health-preserving elixir, easily crushing Zheng Chen, and then refined the Yuanyuan-turning spiritual elixir, completely defeating the elder of the Ruyi Medicine Pavilion and Zheng Chen's mentor** in terms of sales and reputation.
All kinds of deeds have made everyone in Xichuan City regard the black-robed master as an official alchemist.
An alchemy apprentice can be sought after in Xichuan City, let alone an alchemist.
Not to mention, the two elixirs refined by the black-robed master have greatly benefited the warriors in Xichuan City.
"Go on, what will happen if we don't pay the security management fee?"
Lin Mu ignored the hook-nosed man's question and continued speaking coldly.
Originally, the hook-nosed man was quite wary of the black-robed master, but he didn't expect him to be so disrespectful. A flash of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he said firmly: "If you don't pay, someone will come and smash you."
Medicine Pavilion, then our Liu family has nothing to do with it."
"How much do I need to pay for safety management fees?"
Lin Mu thought for a while and suddenly asked.
Hearing this, the man with the hooked nose showed a look of color on his face, thinking that Lin Mu was afraid of the Liu family after all, and said proudly: "It doesn't take much, two thousand gold coins is enough."
"Two thousand gold coins?"
There seemed to be a smile in Lin Mu's voice, "This number is indeed not much."
Two thousand gold coins are converted into copper coins, which is equal to two hundred thousand. In a place like Xichuan City, most shops do not earn that much in a month.
"Haha, the black-robed master is indeed a sensible and sensible person."
The hook-nosed man became more proud and couldn't help laughing.
The waiters at the Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion next to them looked disappointed. Could it be that the black-robed master didn't dare to offend the Liu family?
"This black-robed master is not very good either."
"Usually alchemists focus on refining alchemy and are not good at using force. It is normal for them not to offend our Liu family."
"But the alchemist's appeal is very strong. Even if he is not strong enough, he can still make other warriors fight."
"So what? No matter how high your appeal is, can it compare to the Qiao family?"
"makes sense"
Seeing that Lin Mu seemed to be showing weakness, many Liu family warriors showed contempt, feeling that the alchemist's majesty had weakened a lot.
"Bring it here."
At this moment, Lin Mu stretched out a hand and said calmly.
"What?"
The hook-nosed man was stunned for a moment, confused by Lin Mu's behavior.
"Is this black-robed master confused?"
Others also looked shocked.
"Get the money, it doesn't take much, just two thousand gold coins is enough."
Lin Mu repeated the words of the hook-nosed man exactly.
"Master in Black Robe, what do you mean?"
The hook-nosed man's face darkened.
"Is there something wrong with your IQ? I can't understand what you said so directly."
Lin Mu smiled coldly, "Honestly leave me two thousand gold coins, and then get out of here."
"So, you were always playing tricks on me before?"
The voice of the man with a hooked nose was filled with anger.
"Don't feel so good about yourself. Who are you to deserve me to play with you?"
Lin Mu said mockingly, "Two thousand gold coins, not a single one is missing, otherwise, once you get out of this door, if anything happens, I won't be able to care about it."
"Hahaha."
The hook-nosed man laughed angrily, "Master in black robe, just because you are an alchemist, I respect you and tolerate you, but it doesn't mean that I am really afraid of you."
"Maybe you don't take our Liu family seriously because you are an alchemist, but do you think the Liu family is as easy to deal with now as before?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that our Liu family has received support from the Qiao family. In time, we will have a place not only in Xichuan City, but also in the entire Tianyuan Mansion. How can we be afraid of you as an alchemist?"
"It is indeed the Qiao family." Lin Mu felt chill in his heart, and his mouth became colder, "You can try to leave."
"Just leave, I still don't believe you can really do anything to me."
The hook-nosed man's face was full of disdain, "But you should be prepared. Once I step out of this door, the business of Fengchi Medicine Pavilion will not be so easy in the future."
Lin Mu said nothing more, looking at him calmly with eyes like deep pools in a valley.
"Walk."
The hook-nosed man didn't care, waved his hand triumphantly, and left with all the Liu family warriors in a swaggering manner.
"Master, these people are gone, but we may be in real trouble in the future."
Seeing them leaving, everyone in the Fengling Medicine Pavilion not only did not relax, but became even more worried.
"In our Wind Chime Medicine Pavilion, not everyone can come and leave whenever they want."
The corners of Lin Mu's eyes drooped slightly, and a faint black light flashed in his pupils.
The power of the soul suddenly moved.
The warriors of the Liu family who had just stepped out of the medicine pavilion were arrogant one moment, but had splitting headaches the next moment, and they all held their heads and screamed.
"What's going on? My head hurts."
"Ah, it feels like needles are pricking my head. I can't stand it anymore."
Many Liu family warriors could not bear the pain and rolled on the ground.
"Are these Liu family warriors possessed by evil spirits?"
Seeing this scene, everyone around looked at each other in shock.
Obviously no one attacked the Liu family, why did they all suddenly change like this?
The expressions of all the waiters in the medicine pavilion were also dull, and they could not understand the scene in front of them at all.
"Could it be"
Unable to help themselves, many people's eyes turned to Lin Mu.
Everyone clearly remembers that the black-robed master said earlier that if the warriors of the Liu family did not pay two thousand gold coins, he would not be able to care about any accidents that happened once they left the gate of the Medicine Pavilion.
At that time, people regarded the words of the black-robed master as words of anger, and no one took them seriously.
But right now, people cannot stop thinking about this scene.
No one would believe it if it was a coincidence. There is no such thing as a coincidence in the world.
However, if it is not a coincidence, but the method of the black-robed master, then the black-robed master would be too terrible.
Without even moving a finger, all the warriors of the Liu family were hit, and all of them were in agony, including the hook-nosed man with the strength of a fourth-level warrior.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Lin Mu was not surprised.
The power of the soul is extremely mysterious. On the Lingwu Continent, only the truly strong can master it.
In Ye Qianche's words, only after becoming a great martial artist can one touch the threshold of soul power.
Even Lin Mu, although he is an exception and has fused the fragments of consciousness of the strong man from the Broken Void to create a powerful foundation of soul power, is still experiencing countless crises and has struggled with the relationship between the two supreme beings Ning Qingyu and Ye Qianche.
Only under the pressure of the warrior's battle storm can he truly realize the power of the soul.
So in a small town like Xichuan City that doesn't even have martial arts masters, it's really normal that people can't understand soul power attacks.
