In fact, Ling Xuan, the son of fate, would indeed not die so easily.
Lu Lin remembered that in the original plot, Ling Xuan had also avoided the hunt of the killers and escaped a disaster.
The current situation was just that he had reminded Ling Xuan, so he was not in such a sorry state.
Of course, Lu Lin naturally would not say this out loud.
He just smiled faintly and said, "You're welcome. I just don't like a foreigner like Chen Jiang who uses his wealth and power to bully us commoners who come from a disadvantaged background!"
Ling Xuan felt a warmth in his heart and said very seriously, "No matter what, I owe you a favor this time!"
Lu Lin laughed and said, "If you really want to thank me, then don't owe me anything. Help me out now, how about it?"
Ling Xuan asked curiously, "What is it?"
Lu Lin pointed to the ground in front of them, which was covered with a layer of scarlet snake skin. On the snake skin were the materials collected from the iron-skinned demon rats and horned blood python.
He said, "Aren't we still participating in the preliminaries? My attainments in talisman refinement are average, so I'm afraid that I'll spoil these materials. I think you should be preparing to refine some talisman treasures, right? Why don't you help me with it too?"
Ling Xuan glanced at Lu Lin's chest. There was an exquisite talisman refiner badge, but the badge was only at the elementary level.
As for Ling Xuan himself, he was an intermediate level talisman refiner, and was even about to advance to an advanced level talisman refiner!
Ling Xuan smiled and said, "I thought it was something major, but it turned out to be such a small matter! Leave it to me! In addition, I still owe you a favor! This kind of small favor is not enough to repay you for saving my life!"
"This..."
Lu Lin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright! If I have any trouble in the future, I'll look for you to help!"
"No problem!"
Ling Xuan nodded in satisfaction.
Then, they began to pack up their things again and prepared to move to a place more suitable for refining talisman treasures.
Lu Lin cut open the skin of the Horned Blood Python and divided the things into two parts, packaging them into two packages.
Ling Xuan pinched the talisman seal and put away the two fist-sized eyeballs of the Horned Blood Python before dispersing the illusion talisman array.
It was also at this moment that he suddenly remembered something, he could not help but ask, "Lu Lin, how did you think of setting up the illusion talisman array with the eyeballs of the Horned Blood Python? This idea is too ingenious! Who would have thought that the two eyeballs of the Horned Blood Python could release such a powerful illusory effect with just a little bit of processing!"
Of course, Lu Lin would not tell Ling Xuan that this method was actually discovered by Ling Xuan himself in the original plot!
Lu Lin only said, "This is also a coincidence. I once saw someone doing this in a random book!"
"I see!"
Ling Xuan nodded and then sighed, "It looks like I'll have to read more random books in the future. Maybe I can expand my thinking!"
Lu Lin didn't say anything more. He just threw a snakeskin bag to him and told him to leave quickly.
At the same time, Lu Lin secretly glanced at the download panel and found that the last mission, Spirit Armor Protection, was almost completed.
Mission 1: Skill, Spirit Armor Protection (minor mastery)
Download Progress: 80.02% (remaining: one hour)
This made Lu Lin start to think: Should I continue to follow Ling Xuan, or should I find another player to download more tasks?
According to the system's introduction, he could only download three tasks from the same target in a day.
If he wanted to continue downloading, he could only wait until the task's cooldown ended tomorrow.
And now, there was still half a day left until the next day!
…
At the same time, outside the fiend mountain range.
Chu Qingxue had just finished reading all of Lu Lin's information.
The reason she spent so much time was because she wasn't only reading the records of the Talisman Master Guild, but also the information she had just sent people to investigate and collect.
Originally, she thought that after reading this information, she would have some understanding of this Lu Lin.
However, in reality, she realized that she was at a loss after reading the information.
This was because, based on the information she had gathered, this Lu Lin did not seem to be any outstanding at all.
He was completely an ordinary youth.
According to the information, Lu Lin had never even left Rong City.
Under such circumstances, how could Lu Lin obtain an ancient cultivation technique like the "Three Calamities and Nine Refinements"?
Chu Qingxue could not figure it out.
But it was also because of this that her interest in Lu Lin grew.
This interest even surpassed the interest she had in Ling Xuan.
After all, it was a fact that Lu Lin had learned the 'Three Calamities and Nine Refinements', and his mastery did not seem to be low, but he did not reveal anything extraordinary.
What made Chu Qingxue the most curious was that Lu Lin had concealed himself so well before so why would he suddenly reveal himself in such a high-profile manner just now?
She obviously didn't think that Lu Lin had really been careless.
She felt that Lu Lin definitely had some special intentions!
Chu Qingxue felt that the greatest possibility was that Lu Lin was intentionally attracting the attention of others, letting everyone know that his cultivation was at the fifth level of the Star Spirit State!
In this way, during the course of the competition, there would probably be quite a number of people who would think that he was easy to bully and go looking for trouble with him.
However, that would be tantamount to giving him a trophy!
"What an interesting fellow!"
The corners of Chu Qingxue's mouth curled into a beautiful arc.
At this moment…
"Vice City Lord!"
A City Lord Estate guard dressed in uniform hurried to a spot not far from her and bowed towards her.
Chu Qingxue closed the runic light screen in front of her and asked calmly, "What happened?"
The guard replied in a deep voice, "There's a gap in the runic array on the west side!"
"Huh?"
Gentle Snow raised her eyebrows and said, "Didn't I ask you guys to check it repeatedly before the competition started?"
The guard replied, "Yes, we did check it a few times and confirmed that there was no problem! However, there is indeed a gap now."
Chu Qingxue's expression darkened as she said, "Does that mean that it was only after the start of the competition that someone destroyed the talisman array and created this gap?"
The guard nodded and said, "That's right! I'm worried that someone might have sneaked into the examination hall and might pose a threat to the examinees?"
Chu Qingxue's expression turned slightly ugly as well.
That was because, to be able to silently destroy the Talisman Array, the other party's methods were not ordinary.
Yet, such a thing happened in the competition that she was in charge of!
The other party was clearly slapping her face!
"Immediately investigate clearly who did this!"
Chu Qingxue said in a deep voice, "Additionally, two small teams will follow me into the examination grounds to investigate the situation! I want to see who dares to cause trouble under my nose!"
No matter what, this was a competition that she presided over. If someone were to cause trouble, she would not be able to bear it!
Moreover, among these participants, there were two geniuses that she held in high regard.
"Yes!"
The guard immediately responded. He then took out a communication talisman and began to call the other police officers.
Chu Qingxue's figure moved. The hem of her dress fluttered as she flew towards the entrance of the demonic ridge.
In the distance, numerous figures rapidly appeared from afar and gathered behind her.
When Chu Qingxue stepped into the Demonic Fiend Ridge, two small teams of ten guards had already gathered behind her.
Chu Qingxue brought them directly into the range of the talisman array.
"I want to see who dares to cause trouble under my watch!"
