Chapter 172 - Breath-holding Spell (1/2)

Seeing that Lin Luoran doesn’t make any response, the middle-aged Taoist nervously takes out a tattered book and hands it out to her.

Lin Luoran takes the book and looks through the pages carelessly. The book is indeed the instruction of “Breath-holding Spell”. Lin doesn’t let down her defense because the Taoist’s level of cultivation is low. She uses Wakan to turn the pages, instead of touching the book directly with her hands.

“Senior…” The middle-aged man says cautiously.

Lin Luoran closes the book and asks, “What is your relations.h.i.+p with the Zou family?”

The man tells Lin his friends.h.i.+p with Old Mr. Zou. As a matter of fact, he doesn’t even know Zou Guojun very well. He only comes to help Zou Guojun fight an “amateur cultivator” because of his respect for Old Mr. Zou as well the benefits Zou Guojun promised to give.

Lin Luoran says nothing. After explaining himself, the Taoist swears on the Devil Inside in order to show Lin that he has told nothing but the truth.

Cultivators pursue immortality. As long as the Devil Inside swear is made, the person will be condemned if he or she doesn’t live up to the promise. Nowadays, ordinary people say “I promise” or “I swear” a lot. They will swear on the life of their children in order to gain trust from others. However, cultivators’ swear on the Devil Inside will definitely be fulfilled.

There is no doubt in Lin’s heart anymore. She waves her hand and tells the man to leave.

The middle-aged Taoist starts to walk out stiffly. Before he reaches the door, Lin’s voice comes from behind — “Stop!”

The man is scared. Is he going to die after all?

The man is considering whether he should put up a desperate fight. Meanwhile, something flies from behind and into his arms. Is this a jade box?

“I give you these boluses in exchange for your book. It’s a good deal for you.”

Is he mishearing? This female cultivator in her twenties has entered the level of Laying Foundation, and she is quite reasonable? The Taoist has no time to look inside the jade box. He expresses his grat.i.tude to Lin and rushes out of the room. He jumps over the wall of the Zou’s house.

Nice Gravity Defying Kung Fu!

Looking at the man who is running like a rabbit, Lin Luoran smiles and puts away the thin book of “Breath-holding Spell”. The man in the middle stage of Training Qi was able to hide his presence from her, a cultivator who has laid foundation. This book of “Breath-holding Spell” must be effective. It is the windfall of her trip.

Lin smiles and asks the bodyguards who are lying on the floor, wailing, “What? Are you guys staying for the funeral of the Zou couple?”

One of the bodyguards gets up the courage and asks, “Are you…not going to kill us?”

Lin asks, “Am I your enemy?”

The man shakes his head immediately.

“Are you going to call the police?”

The man thinks for a while and shakes his head again.

“Then… Are you going to tell anyone about what happened tonight?”

All the bodyguards on the ground shake their head together.
