Afterwards, Lin Jing spoke up:
“System, enter Observation Mode.”
The next moment, the perspective shifted, and Lin Jing’s viewpoint appeared above the Liu Clan estate.
Next, Lin Jing controlled the observation angle to move, arriving at the courtyard where Liu Yiyuan was located, then directly passing through the room and entering the secret chamber.
Inside the secret chamber, Liu Yiyuan was at that moment meditating in seclusion, and the surnamed Wang Pill Master was not present.
Clearly, he hadn’t arrived yet.
Then, Lin Jing continued to elevate his viewpoint, coming to the skies above the Liu Clan, and kept watching the Liu Clan’s front gate, waiting for the arrival of the surnamed Wang Pill Master.
Less than two quarters of an hour later, from afar, Lin Jing saw the surnamed Wang Pill Master walking towards the Liu Clan.
As expected.
Lin Jing’s guess was correct, he had come.
As soon as the surnamed Wang Pill Master entered the Liu Clan, a Cultivator who seemed to be the butler took him to the courtyard where Liu Yiyuan was.
After that, the butler gestured for the Pill Master to go in while he stood guard outside the front door of the house.
Upon entering, the Pill Master familiarly proceeded into the secret chamber.
And Lin Jing also controlled the Observation Mode to re-enter the secret chamber.
“Young Master Liu…”
The Pill Master didn’t go directly inside the secret chamber; while still in the corridor leading to the chamber, he called out. Then, he heard Liu Yiyuan’s voice from inside.
“Come in…”
Not until Liu Yiyuan had finished speaking did the Pill Master walk inside.
Upon seeing Liu Yiyuan, the Pill Master promptly said:
“Young Master Liu, he agreed.”
When Liu Yiyuan heard what the Pill Master said, his eyes suddenly burst with a sharp light as he intently looked at the Pill Master.
“You’re saying, he agreed…”
‘Yes, Young Master Liu.”
The Pill Master said, cupping his hands in a salute.
After hearing this, Liu Yiyuan immediately burst into laughter:
“Haha…”
“He agreed, very good…”
Then, he continued to sDeak to the Pill Master:
“Then, our plan can commence now.” Hearing this, the Pill Master eagerly continued:
“Young Master Liu…”
“Lin Jing said that he has been somewhat busy lately, and needs a few more days to prepare.”
“Therefore, I used this as an excuse to set the date for three days from now.” Upon hearing the full account, Liu Yiyuan nodded and said:
“That’s fine, I can wait for three days… It gives us just enough time to arrange things in advance, so we can leave him without a place to be buried when the time comes.”
At that time, the Pill Master saluted again, saying:
“Then do we follow the original plan and lead him to that valley next?”
Liu Yiyuan spoke directly.
The Pill Master looked at Liu Yiyuan with confusion and asked:
“Then, where shall we set the ambush this time?”
A cold light flashed in Liu Yiyuan’s eyes as he replied:
“This time, to prevent any unexpected events, I plan to set the ambush site on the road you must take to reach the valley.”
“Please inform me of the specifics of the ambush, so I can also be prepared ahead of time.”
“Of course, I need to tell you. I’ve already decided… it will be at…”
Since only the two of them were in the secret chamber, Liu Yiyuan did not hesitate to inform the Pill Master of the exact location of the ambush.
What they did not expect was that the target of their ambush, Lin Jing, had overheard every single word without missing a beat.
“At the appointed time, just lead him over there according to the original plan…”
After finishing speaking, Liu Yiyuan gave the Pill Master a few more instructions.
“Understood…”
The Pill Master said, and after pondering for a moment, he continued to ask:
“Young Master Liu, for this ambush, may I ask how many people you plan to arrange?”
Liu Yiyuan wore a look of disdain:
“Is an Energy Refinement Cultivator even worth our full effort?”
“If not for being in Inner Fang Market, I fear he would have already died without a place to be buried.”
“Master Liu speaks the truth…”
The Wang-surnamed Pill Master clasped his hands, then swiftly changed the subject, sharing his own view:
“However, Master Liu…”
“I think, even so, to be on the safe side, it’s better to bring a couple more people. If we, by some mischance, let him escape, I fear we won’t have such an opportunity again.”
As the words of the Wang-surnamed Pill Master fell, Liu Yiyuan sank into thought.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Yiyuan nodded his head and spoke again:
“You’re speaking sense. When the time comes, I’ll bring one more person along.
With him there, Lin Jing will not be able to escape no matter what…” “After all, this matter isn’t suitable for too many people to Imow.”
‘We three Foundation Establishment Cultivators will make a move against a single Qi Refinement Realm Cultivator.” “I think…”
“Even in his death, he should rest in peace.”
The Wang-surnamed Pill Master clasped his hands and flattered:
“Master Liu’s insight is profound…”
As the plan proceeded smoothly, Liu Yiyuan felt relieved at heart. Even his cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long while, seemed to have grown somewhat.
It was as though Lin Jing was already dead before his eyes.
But in front of the Wang-surnamed Pill Master, he still pretended to be composed and said:
“Alright, you may go. You’ve played no small part in this affair, and after it’s done, rest assured you won’t be forgotten.”
“Thank you, Master Liu. I will take my leave.”
The Wang-surnamed Pill Master quickly bowed and said..
“Hmm…” Liu Yiyuan responded.
After that, the Wang-surnamed Pill Master walked out.
Once the Wang-surnamed Pill Master had left, Lin Jing did not bother with him and continued observing Liu Yiyuan.
Then, Liu Yiyuan’s lips curved into a cold smile:
“Lin Jing, you’re as good as dead this time…”
Afterward, he closed his eyes once more and began to meditate.
Lin Jing also fell silent.
This time, they actually planned to deploy three Foundation Establishment experts.
Although Liu Yiyuan did not specify, Lin Jing believed that the last person Liu Yiyuan planned to bring was very likely a late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
Lin Jing had initially thought to take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate Liu Yiyuan.
But faced with three Foundation Establishments, no matter how well he prepared, the chances were slim.
And it could easily put him in grave danger.
Now, he realized his previous thoughts were impractical.
Just then, Liu Yiyuan, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.
Lin Jing quickly gathered his thoughts and resumed his observation of Liu
Yiyuan.
Liu Yiyuan smacked his head and muttered to himself:
“Almost forgot…”
“I still have to inform the elder about this…”
“Last time, the elder already warned me; I can’t afford to make another mistake.”
Hearing Liu Yiyuan’s words, Lin Jing’s brows furrowed tightly. “It seems that Wu Cai Immortal knows about this affair too…”
“And he has even tacitly consented to it…”
Looking at it this way, Wu Cai Immortal clearly didn’t take Elder Bai’s words seriously.
And Lin Jing’s situation was even more dangerous than he had imagined.
Now, there was no way for him to take action against Liu Yiyuan, for if anything happened to Liu Yiyuan, Wu Cai Immortal would be the first to seek him out.
“It seems I can only find an excuse to turn down the Wang-surnamed Pill Master’s invitation.”
“What a pity, that Cleansing Spirit Flower’s stem and root, is exactly what I wanted…”
Lin Jing couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Suddenly, Lin Jing was startled awake:
“Right…’
“Liu Yiyuan is no ordinary cultivator; trying to get rid of him is as hard as ascending to heaven, and it’s normal enough if I can’t…”
“But the Cleansing Spirit Flower’s stem and root are in the hands of the Wang-surnamed Pill Master. I could find a way to get my hands on it; that wouldn’t be a loss at all….”
