“Big Brother, I do have a method…”
Zhang Lin suddenly spoke up at this moment.
Zhang Sen turned his head toward his younger brother, asking urgently, ‘What method? Speak quickly.”
Zhang Lin’s eyes gleamed coldly as he stared in the direction of Ning Yue’s
small courtyard and suddenly asked Zhang Sen:
“Big Brother, do you think cultivating the Alchemy Technique consumes Spirit Stones?”
Zhang Sen nodded in affirmation:
“Of course, without a large number of Spirit Stones as a foundation, how could one cultivate the Alchemy Technique?”
“Especially at the beginning, when the failure rate is extremely high—if there weren’t a large number of Spirit Stones to rely on, one certainly couldn’t persist.”
“However, once successful, an Alchemist could be considered the most profitable profession, with Spirit Stones flowing in endlessly.” After finishing, Zhang Sen looked at Zhang Lin, puzzled: “What? You want to cultivate the Alchemy Technique?” He then shook his head, saying self-deprecatingly: “Given our current situation, better not to think about it…”
Yet Zhang Lin suddenly cut in, interrupting Zhang Sen:
“You’ve misunderstood, Big Brother.”
“It’s not so easy to master the Alchemy Technique; I know that all too well and wouldn’t entertain such fanciful ideas.”
“But isn’t someone else cultivating the Alchemy Technique? If he didn’t have Spirit Stones, how could he dare to pursue this Alchemy Technique?”
Zhang Sen suddenly came to a realization:
“Are you talking about Brother Lin?”
“But we haven’t seen any activity from him lately; I think he must have given up by now.”
“Whether he has given up or not, I am not sure, but I do know that he definitely has a substantial amount of Spirit Stones on him. As long as we take his Spirit Stones…” Zhang Lin said, his eyes brimming with malicious intent as he looked across.
“Then won’t we have nothing to worry about?”
Zhang Sen frowned, hesitating:
“Doing such a thing doesn’t seem right; Brother Lin hasn’t done anything to wrong us. If we do this, wouldn’t it be rather inappropriate?”
“Tsk…”
Zhang Lin was disdainful, scoffing at the notion.
“Big Brother, have you gone daft?”
“Have you forgotten the scene where we begged him at his doorstep just two days ago?”
“You were practically kneeling to him, but did he show you even a shred of
“Don’t say he has no Spirit Stones.”
“The fragrance wafting from his house these past few days, I’ve smelled it distinctly—it’s definitely Superior Spirit Rice.”
“He has the money to eat Superior Spirit Rice but refuses to lend us a single Spirit Stone, yet we’re supposed to be neighbors.”
“What Brother Lin? Pah…
Thinking back to that day made Zhang Lin extremely infuriated; neither he nor his brother had ever groveled so low before anyone.
Zhang Sen said nothing more and merely hung his head in silence.
Zhang Lin looked at his brother and, seeing that he wasn’t defending Lin Jing, knew his words had taken effect.
He then continued to embellish and incite, saying:
“Big Brother, think about it.”
“When Lin Jing first arrived here, wasn’t it you who explained everything about this place to him every day? Without you, Big Brother, how could he have adapted so quickly here?”
“What’s more, wasn’t it you who introduced Ning Yue to them both?”
“Look at how close the two of them are now, sticking together every day, even sharing meals, they are practically one step away from sharing a bed.” After finishing, Zhang Lin then added leisurely:
“Right, didn’t we see him carrying things into the Su family’s door this afternoon?”
“The two of them might still be drinking at this moment, and who knows what they’ll do after finishing their wine…”
Zhang Sen looked up, his gaze pensive as he peered across.
Zhang Lin continued:
