Get Her Eliminated in the Preliminary Selection!
Lin Ying was taken aback when Jian Shuchen spoke to her. During the days she had been following Lu Yang, no male cultivator had ever dared to speak to her.
However, when she was still a disciple of Danfeng in the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect Pill Peak, she was indeed approached by many senior and junior brothers because of her outstanding appearance.
Lin Ying quickly realized what was happening. She glanced at Jian Shuchen and said calmly, "No need, fellow Daoist, please move aside."
Jian Shuchen was taken aback when he heard Lin Ying refuse without hesitation.
This was the first time he had been so directly rejected after introducing himself.
Especially with so many Alchemists watching in the hall!
This stirred a hint of anger in Jian Shuchen's heart, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
He took a step forward, wanting to get closer to Lin Ying, but Lin Ying frowned, took a step back, and said with a hint of coldness in her voice, "Fellow Daoist, please have some self-respect and stay away from me."
Grass!
That bitch!
Jian Shuchen noticed the gazes from those around him, and his face became even more embarrassed.
He cursed inwardly, his eyes flashing even colder, and transmitted his Sound Dao, "Fellow Daoist, you should think carefully. My master has an excellent relationship with many of the Supreme Elders of the Crimson Cloud Sect. With just one word from me, you will lose your qualification to enter the main competition."
Hearing this, Lin Ying's heart sank.
Lin Ying originally didn't intend to make a fuss about it. After all, she had been approached by men quite a few times before, and she had even encountered several male cultivators like Jian Shuchen. As long as she refused, it would be fine.
However, Jian Shuchen actually threatened her with the qualification for the main competition of the Dao of Alchemy Convention. Even the gentle and graceful Lin Ying felt a surge of anger at this moment.
If it weren't for the instructions Lu Yang gave her, she would have immediately Wang Liu out and dealt with this man.
However, if she causes too much of a commotion, the Crimson Cloud Sect will probably discover her existence, and she is not sure what will happen to the Dao of Alchemy Convention then.
Considering Lu Yang's instructions, Lin Ying took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her anger, and Sound Dao indifferently, "Fellow Daoist, I don't want to argue with you. If you leave now, I can let it go."
Lin Ying's words stunned Jian Shuchen for a moment, then he laughed in exasperation.
What does it mean to not pursue the matter?
Shouldn't we just ignore him?
At a young age, Jian Shuchen had already reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection, and was even more outstanding in Dao of Alchemy, capable of refining third-tier pills.
Furthermore, he was a direct disciple of Nascent Soul True Lord, so even other disciples of Nascent Soul True Lord treated him with kindness and respect.
Is there anyone who dares to say they won't hold it against him?
That bitch, she really thinks she's someone important?!
His face turned completely cold. He reached out and grabbed Lin Ying's shoulder. Strands of Spiritual Qi swirled in his palm, and green light surged and raged, vaguely transforming into the phantom of vines.
Seeing this, Lin Ying's expression turned completely cold.
Her body shimmered with spiritual light, and without moving, she transformed into green leaves and vanished from the spot, leaving Jian Shuchen's hand grasping at empty air.
The next moment, green leaves fluttered down, and Lin Ying's body appeared thirty meters away.
This move made Jian Shuchen frown slightly, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes as he looked at Lin Ying.
This escape technique can actually transform one into a flying leaf?
What exquisite Technique Method!
What level of Law Technique is this?
That bitch actually possesses such Law Technique?!
Does she really have connections?
The moment the two clashed, the surging Spiritual Qi energy naturally attracted the attention of all the Alchemists in the hall.
No one expected that someone would dare to make a move during the Crimson Cloud Sect's Dao of Alchemy Convention competition.
All the Alchemists looked over.
This included Duan Chong, who was reading a book.
When Duan Chong saw Lin Ying, he was stunned for a moment, a look of astonishment on his face.
Isn't this... the female cultivator who was previously suspected to be from the Spirit Grade?
She actually came to the Dao of Alchemy Convention?
He glanced again at Jian Shuchen, whose face was ashen, and a strange expression appeared on his face.
Is this Alchemist planning to attack this female cultivator?
He didn't know the female cultivator's identity?
Jian Shuchen thought about it carefully. After entering the city, he had indeed not heard of the cultivator who was suspected to be from the Spirit Grade...
Duan Chong, Jian Shuchen had already come to his senses. A cold glint appeared in his eyes, but he did not continue to make a move.
The Dao of Alchemy Convention is the prestige of the Crimson Cloud Sect. If he makes a move during the Dao of Alchemy Convention, he will be punished by his master.
I lost control of myself in my anger just now, but it was just a simple act of violence, nothing serious.
However, this bitch is shameless; let's teach her a lesson she won't forget!
Wasn't she here to attend the Dao of Alchemy Convention?
Then let her be eliminated in the preliminary rounds!
Then I'll have someone keep an eye on her, and after the Dao of Alchemy Convention ends, I'll deal with her properly!
Thinking of this, Jian Shuchen gave Lin Ying a cold look, flicked his sleeve, and turned to leave.
Lin Ying watched Jian Shuchen's retreating figure, and her previously decent mood vanished.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing her anger, and decided to participate in the competition first.
She quickly found her seat using her place token.
She had just sat down when a voice came from not far in front of her. "Fellow Daoist, what a coincidence, you're here too."
Lin Ying paused for a moment, then looked up in the direction the voice came from, and saw Duan Chong staring at her from not far away.
Lin Ying frowned. She was already in a bad mood, and now she hadn't expected to be so close to this cultivator she had clashed with outside the city.
Does this cultivator also intend to provoke her?
Lin Ying asked indifferently, "Fellow Daoist, what is it?"
Duan Chong didn't seem to notice the aloofness and coldness in Lin Ying's tone. He simply chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist, there's no great grudge between us, so why be like this? We've already discussed what happened before. Although Uncle Wang's soul injury was quite severe, I do have some skills to heal him."
Seeing that Duan Chong didn't seem to have any intention of provoking her, Lin Ying's expression softened a bit.
She nodded. "Since you're not here for revenge, then there's nothing to worry about."
Duan Chong cupped his hands and smiled, "My name is Duan Chong. May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"
Lin Ying.
Duan Chong repeated Lin Ying's name in his mind several times, finally confirming that he had never heard of a genius with that name in the Spirit Realm.
Lin is a common surname. Among the human race at the Spirit Grade, there are several powerful individuals with the surname Lin. I wonder if Lin Ying is related to them?
However, Lin Ying had clearly been following the male cultivator's lead before, suggesting that the male cultivator was likely of higher status.
He pondered for a moment, a smile playing on his lips, and asked, "By the way, who was that person just now? How dare they provoke you? Didn't they know who you are?"
Lin Ying glanced at him and said calmly, "I have no special status."
Duan Chong smiled and said, "Hehe... Was that male cultivator your dao companion last time? He's probably no ordinary person. If we don't count those with high status, there aren't many like him in the entire Canglan Realm."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ying's eyes flashed with surprise, and she glanced at Duan Chong.
She hadn't expected that Duan Chong would actually see through Lu Yang's special abilities.
With such keen insight, is Duan Chong also quite extraordinary?
Duan Chong had been observing Lin Ying 'Lin Ying reaction, and seeing her reaction now, he was even more certain that the male Duan Chong probably really did have a background in the Spirit Realm!
He just doesn't know what kind of background they have. If they're not bad, he wouldn't mind making their acquaintance.
The Duan Household cultivators have always been cautious. The younger generation has grown step by step from a small plane, experiencing hardships, and naturally understands more. It is best not to make enemies if possible.
Having more friends might actually give you more options in a pinch.
