Chapter 172 - Chapter 172: Chapter 172 Changing Strategy (2/2)

“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….”
