Chapter 340: Chapter 42 Lin Jue Gives Spirit Grass
As the dark-skinned youth’s words fell.
Immediately, everyone turned their heads and looked in their direction.
At this moment, Lin Jing did not conceal his cultivation.
When these people saw Lin Jing, they immediately felt the overwhelming aura of cultivation emanating from him.
Additionally, the demeanor produced by cultivating the Overlord Divine Physique, combined with Lin Jing’s stature, made him look immensely oppressive.
Seeing Lin Jing approaching, the previously noisy crowd instantly fell silent.
Lin Jing even saw the two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who had been very arrogant just now, their legs slightly trembling. After taking one look at Lin Jing, they quickly lowered their heads.
Lin Jing walked over and finally saw Lin Jue in the crowd, with a slight redness around his eyes.
At that moment, although his eyes were red, Lin Jue still clenched his teeth, staring steadfastly at those two Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
“What happened?” Lin Jing asked Lin Jue.
Subsequently, Lin Jue relayed the events that had just occurred in detail.
Following that.
Lin Jing scanned the onlookers, each of whom lowered their heads, not daring to meet Lin Jing’s gaze.
Not to mention anything else, merely the aura of authority that Lin Jing exuded made these people too intimidated to move unnecessarily.
Suffice it to say.
The difference in cultivation between Lin Jing and these people was too great, not even daring to leave without Lin Jing’s permission.
Following that.
Lin Jing once again looked at Lin Jue and said,
“Where is the Spirit Stone I gave you?”
As his words fell, Lin Jue took out a Storage Bag from his chest and handed it to Lin Jing.
Lin Jing did not reach out to take it but instead told Lin Jue,
“Pay them whatever you owe them in Spirit Stones.”
Lin Jing didn’t need to intervene in this matter himself.
The two only dared to invert justice intending to seize Lin Jue’s Spirit Stone because they were of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and because Lin Jue had no backing.
Now.
With Lin Jing, a Golden Core Cultivator, standing behind Lin Jue and speaking for him,
the legs of those two Foundation Establishment Cultivators were trembling even more.
Not to mention the rest.
They likely regretted their earlier actions deeply now.
Lin Jue nodded slightly, then opened the Storage Bag. He took out fifty Spirit Stones from inside and handed them to the two men.
The two looked up at Lin Jing.
Seeing that Lin Jing showed no reaction,
a hint of joy immediately spread across their faces.
They didn’t expect that with Lin Jing present, Lin Jue would still return the Spirit Stones to them.
They had thought that after this affair, they would definitely not get their money back.
The two men accepted the Spirit Stones handed by Lin Jue, continuously expressing their thanks.
“Thank you, thank you…”
After that, they turned around, bowed to Lin Jing and said:
“Thank you, senior…”
“Thank you, senior…”
Saying so, the two were about to leave.
“Wait…”
However, just then, Lin Jing called out to them.
Hearing Lin Jing’s voice, the two shuddered and stopped their departing steps.
Then, the two exchanged glances, both seeing the foreboding expression in each other’s eyes.
It seemed the inevitable was upon them, unavoidable.
Before Lin Jing could even ask,
the two “thudded” to their knees, kneeling on the ground.
They began pleading incessantly.
“Senior, we didn’t know you had a relationship with him. If we had known, we would have never dared target him.”
“Please, senior, spare us.”
Lin Jing ignored their pleas, and simply asked:
“You said he stole those Spirit Stones from you?”
As soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, suddenly “slap,” one of them slapped himself across the face.
Seeing this, the other followed suit, “slap,” hitting himself too.
The two continued.
“Slap…slap…slap…”
They slapped themselves several times,
until their cheeks were swollen and blood dripped from the corners of their mouths. Only then did they stop.
“Senior, it was our greed, our lies, hoping to obtain the Spirit Stones in his possession through deceit.”
As their words ended, murmurs immediately arose from the crowd, most of them decrying the two’s shamelessness and defending Lin Jue.
This was a stark contrast to the atmosphere before Lin Jing had arrived.
Regarding these people, Lin Jing paid them no mind, nor did he care about their attitudes.
“Earlier in the Fang Market, I heard you say…”
“That as long as Lin Jue returned the Spirit Stones to you, you would return every Elixir Medicine you took from him, correct?”
Hearing this, the two lowered their heads, exchanged glances, and appeared puzzled…
Lin Jing paid no attention to their subtle gestures, but continued to say:
“Now that he has returned the Spirit Stones he owed you, shouldn’t you fulfill your promise?”
“Yes, yes…”
“We will return the Elixir Medicines to him right away.”
The two nodded continuously, like chickens pecking at rice.
However.
Just as they finished speaking, they froze.
With bitter faces, they looked up at Lin Jing and asked:
“Senior, we have consumed those Elixir Medicines, can we replace them with Spirit Stones?”
Lin Jing then looked at Lin Jue and said:
