When Lin Zheng returned to the mansion, he hurriedly went into Shou Bo's room and excitedly said to Shou Bo:
"Uncle Shou, I've found it! I've found it!"
Hearing Lin Zheng's shouts, Uncle Shou suddenly opened his eyes and said:
"What is the solution?"
“Uncle Shou, today I brought a spirit pill to Luo Chen. He was initially surprised, but after seeing that it was a spirit pill, his expression returned to calm. After I pressed him for details, he said that spirit pills are only auxiliary items and can only make one’s foundation unstable. It would be better to convert them into spiritual energy and absorb them!”
Upon hearing Lin Zheng's words, Uncle Shou's face immediately lit up with excitement, and he happily said:
"So that's how it is! So that's how it is! Haha!"
After laughing a few times, Uncle Shou hurriedly said to Lin Zheng:
"Zheng'er, where's my Fire-Repelling Golden Crystal Pill? Bring it here so I can try it!"
At this moment, Lin Zheng's face immediately showed an embarrassed expression, and he whispered to Uncle Shou:
"Uncle Shou, what I'm giving to Luo Chen today is that Fire-Repelling Golden Crystal Pill!"
"what?!"
When Uncle Shou heard that the pill being given away was his most precious one, he was so shocked that he shouted out.
"Zheng'er, how could you give away that pill! It was mine!" Uncle Shou said to Lin Zheng with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"Uncle Shou, didn't you tell me to get along well with Luo Chen? I was thinking of giving him something presentable. Uncle Shou, what's the purpose of that pill?" Lin Zheng explained.
"Use? Of course it does! Otherwise, why would I treasure it so much?" Uncle Shou said angrily.
"That was something I collected from countless treasures and poured all my resources into finding an alchemist to condense! But I never thought it would be better to just use heavenly fire to refine them into spiritual energy for myself to absorb!"
"The Fire-Repelling Golden Crystal Pill, although not a treasure that enhances strength, can stabilize one's realm, and is something I will need when I plan to advance in the future."
"Ah?! Uncle Shou, what should we do now?" Lin Zheng asked in surprise.
At this moment, after hearing Lin Zheng's words, Uncle Shou sighed deeply and said helplessly:
"Right now, there's no other way. Tonight, I'll see if I can steal that pill from his mansion!"
"Is this really okay?" Lin Zheng asked hesitantly.
"There's no other way!"
Uncle Shou shook his head slightly and then walked directly out of the room.
Just as Shou Bo was pondering how to steal the elixir from City Lord Luo Chen's mansion, Luo Chen was already in a secret room, using his spiritual power to refine the elixir.
Golden spiritual energy slowly emanated from the elixir and gradually seeped into Luo Chen's body.
At this moment, Luo Chen suddenly extended his palm and a crimson flame instantly ignited.
"click"
When Luo Chen gripped the golden pill tightly in his palm, a crisp sound rang out.
Instantly, the entire secret chamber was filled with a powerful spiritual energy.
At this moment, Luo Chen seemed to have entered a state of selflessness, cultivating amidst the abundant spiritual energy.
As darkness fell, a black figure flew swiftly through the sky.
When his gaze fell upon Luo Chen's residence, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly flew downwards.
When Uncle Shou landed smoothly on the ground, Luo Chen spotted him almost immediately.
At this moment, Shou Bo was completely unaware that he had been discovered and continued to search the mansion cautiously and vigilantly.
When Uncle Shou released his spiritual power to try to sense the surrounding spiritual power, a powerful energy instantly pushed that spiritual power back into Uncle Shou's body.
Suddenly, Shoubo felt as if his chest had been struck by a heavy hammer, and his body swayed.
"Oh no, it seems I've been discovered!"
Shou Bo exclaimed in alarm and quickly dodged to the side, trying to avoid the probing of that spiritual power.
However, that energy seemed to have completely locked onto Shoubo's figure, and no matter where Shoubo dodged, he could not escape its pursuit.
Left with no other choice, Uncle Shou stopped, covered his face with a veil, and quietly waited for Luo Chen to appear.
Chapter 130 I Don't Owe You Anything
"call out"
Suddenly, a golden light shone brightly in front of him, and Luo Chen's figure instantly appeared before Shou Bo, his gaze icy as he spoke:
"Who are you!"
To everyone's surprise, Shou Bo didn't say anything more to Luo Chen. Instead, a bright light shone from his palm and reached out to grab Luo Chen.
"court death!"
A chilling killing intent instantly flashed in Luo Chen's eyes as he swiftly rushed towards Shou Bo's direction.
"boom"
A surge of powerful energy erupted from Luo Chen's palm, and the two energies collided directly.
Bo's figure quickly retreated backward, a look of shock flashing in his eyes, and he exclaimed in surprise:
"What?! Your strength has actually increased?!"
When Luo Chen heard Shou Bo's words, he was suddenly stunned and began to suspect Shou Bo's identity.
"Who are you?"
"Hand over the elixir!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen sneered and said to Uncle Shou:
"So you wanted that elixir! Sorry, I've already absorbed it!"
At this moment, Shou Bo's eyes suddenly turned angry, and he angrily said to Luo Chen:
"Damn it! That was the treasure that helped me reach the Emperor level, and you actually absorbed it! I'm going to use you to refine pills!"
As soon as Shou Bo finished speaking, his body suddenly leaped up from the ground, and a dazzling light condensed in his hands.
"shhhhhh"
A sharp aura swirled around Shou Bo's body, and streaks of sword energy gradually condensed.
"go with!"
As Shou Bo pointed his finger, ten thousand sword energies flew towards Luo Chen's direction.
A contemptuous smile appeared on Luo Chen's lips, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Humph"
Luo Chen snorted coldly, and as the beams of light struck Luo Chen's body, a golden light suddenly shone on his body.
"bang bang"
Bright sparks burst forth from the golden light, shooting out in all directions.
As Luo Chen's gaze fixed on Shou Bo's direction, his figure transformed into a golden light and soared upwards.
Shou Bo was suddenly startled, and the sword energy that had been surrounding Shou Bo's body quickly condensed in front of him.
"buzz"
With a resounding clang, a massive sword appeared before Shou Bo's eyes.
"Ho!"
Shou Bo roared, and the sword-shaped object in front of him flew rapidly down towards Luo Chen's head.
Upon sensing that energy, Luo Chen did not dodge. Instead, golden light emanated from his hands as he forcefully blocked the sword strike.
"clang"
The metallic clang of metal striking each other echoed from Luo Chen's palm, and Shou Bo's eyes were filled with shock.
At this moment, the sword energy had not yet disappeared into Luo Chen's palm.
"what"
Luo Chen roared angrily, and the golden light in his palm suddenly shone, directly changing the direction of the sword shape and striking towards Shou Bo.
Upon seeing this, Uncle Shou didn't dare hesitate for a moment and quickly dodged to the side.
"call out"
A violent aura swept past Shou Bo's side, and Shou Bo, who had narrowly escaped the attack, looked at Luo Chen with a look of panic in his eyes.
"It's my turn!"
Luo Chen sneered, and two balls of crimson flame suddenly condensed in his palm, which he then shot directly towards Uncle Shou.
When he sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the flames, Uncle Shou dared not be careless in the slightest.
As the two balls of flame rushed towards him, a sword light suddenly shone from Shou Bo's palm, and he slashed directly at the flames.
"chichichi"
Just as the sword disappeared into the flames, the intense heat instantly melted the sword into Shou Bo's palm, and it looked like it was about to spread to Shou Bo's arm.
In a panic, Uncle Shou hurriedly threw the long sword out of his hand, using his own spiritual power to resist the erosion of the two flames.
At this moment, Shou Bo and the two balls of flame were locked in a stalemate in the air. Luo Chen's figure flew quickly towards Shou Bo, and he coldly questioned:
"I'll give you one more chance. Who exactly are you?!"
An invisible pressure instantly emanated from Luo Chen's body.
Cold sweat dripped continuously from Uncle Shou's forehead as he nervously said:
"I am Shoubo, the steward of the Lin family. The elixir you absorbed is mine!"
"Lin Zheng?!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise and took the initiative to disperse the two balls of flame.
With the pressure from those two energies gone, Shou Bo breathed a sigh of relief and slowly flew down to the ground.
"You're saying this elixir is yours? Why would Lin Zheng give it to me!"
At this moment, a bitter expression appeared on Shou Bo's face as he spoke to Luo Chen:
"If I said Lin Zheng delivered it to the wrong address, would you believe me?"
"Fine, I'll take you to the Lin residence today to question you. If you dare to lie to me, hmph!"
After snorting coldly, Luo Chen immediately flew away with Uncle Shou towards the Lin residence.
Lin Zheng, who was in the Lin residence, looked worried and paced back and forth in the hall.
"call out"
Upon hearing a sound outside, Lin Zheng hurriedly ran out of the hall and looked up at the sky.
When Lin Zheng saw Luo Chen and Shou Bo appear before him at the same time, his expression immediately turned ugly.
After noticing the unusual expression on Lin Zheng's face, Luo Chen realized that what Uncle Shou said was probably true.
"Lord Lin, is he really your family's steward?"
Hearing Luo Chen's question, Lin Zheng nodded silently, not daring to lie in the slightest.
"So the elixir you gave him was indeed something he possessed?" Luo Chen asked coldly.
"Ok!"
At this moment, Luo Chen waved his hand and removed the spiritual energy shackles from Shou Bo's body, then slowly said to Shou Bo:
"Don't worry, I never like to owe others anything. Now that I've absorbed your spiritual herb, I will find one for you!"
After Luo Chen finished speaking, he quickly flew upwards.
Watching Luo Chen's figure gradually disappear into the distance, a hint of sadness appeared in Shou Bo's eyes as he slowly said to Lin Zheng:
"It seems I underestimated his strength. We are destined to be outmatched this time!"
"Uncle Shou, is it possible that even you can't beat him?" Lin Zheng asked in surprise.
"If I could have won, I wouldn't have been captured!"
