Chapter 982 Falling into the Trap (1/2)

Chapter 982 Falling into the Trap (1/2)

After walking out of the city lord's mansion, Lin Mu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

A tense heart finally relaxed.

Until now, he still didn't know what kind of medicine Fei Qing was selling in his gourd, so he let him go so easily.

It would be a bit far-fetched to say that it was a request with unknown purpose. After all, he could refuse this request.

Then there is only one possibility.

Fei Qing is looking for money.

After all, two billion spiritual stones is not a small amount.

For practitioners in the integration stage, it takes a long time to earn it.

And Fei Qing didn't have to do anything, just talk, and in just a few moments, he made two billion. Where can he find such a good thing?

As for that requirement, it should be an extra bonus.

It can only be said that Fei Qing is a very scheming person, he will not suffer any losses, and pursues maximizing profits. After he obtained the spirit stone, Lin Mu still owes him a favor.

Lin Mu was satisfied with this result.

Two billion spirit stones, for him, can be earned back quickly.

According to Fei Qing, there are four million cultivators in Ningxiang City. If each person holds one jade slip, one hundred thousand spiritual stones, and four million jade slips, it would be 400 billion!

Compared with 400 billion, two billion is really just a drop in the bucket.

If he is incarcerated, even for a few years, he will not be able to earn the 400 billion.

Now you only need to spend two billion spiritual stones to get your freedom, which is a very good deal.

Spend money to eliminate disasters.

Lin Mu once again felt the great power of the spirit stone.

Spiritual stones are not omnipotent, but nothing can be done without spiritual stones.

Sometimes, spiritual stones are more convenient and more effective than using hands.

If he really wanted to fight Fei Qing now, Lin Mu would have no confidence in defeating such a scheming old monster in the Fusion stage.

He no longer has the Five Yin Thunder Beads, and the power of his magic weapon has not been fully restored. Now he is not on the battle stage. Without the restrictions of the ancient ban, the cultivators in the integration stage can exert their full strength. Among various factors, Next, it would be difficult for him to take advantage.

What's more, there are several deputy city lords in Ningxiang City who won't stand idly by if they really take action.

Fei Qing is the lord of Ningxiang City. If he raises his voice, there will definitely be many Fusion Stage cultivators who want to curry favor with him and help him out.

If Fei Qing is determined to confine himself, even if he has the intention to cause trouble in Ningxiang City, he may not be able to carry it out.

The consequence would probably be that he would no longer be able to stay in Ningxiang City.

If such a reputation for standing up to the city lord and being unruly spreads out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to move to other cities in the future.

Now, these problems no longer exist.

Two billion spirit stones can resolve all this.

I believe that Fei Qing will benefit from the two billion spiritual stones from him and will take care of him in the future without being too embarrassed.

Judging from Fei Qing's work, it is no accident that Fei Qing can reach the position of the city lord of Dacheng.

The reputation he had gained in Linge City still shocked Fei Qing to a certain extent.

This is completely different from the short-sightedness of Qu Sheng.

There was absolutely no need for Fei Qing to offend a peerless genius full of potential like himself, not to mention that he had also created an ethereal wonderland.

I believe Fei Qing can also see the huge potential of Misty Wonderland.

In a city, hundreds of billions of spiritual stones can be earned. With such huge benefits, even the current big forces cannot have such crazy ability to make money.

In this case, it is obviously better to win over than to offend.

Thinking of this, Lin Mu couldn't help but feel relieved.

As he said before, cultivators are actually not much different from ordinary people. They are just more powerful and have the opportunity to pursue immortality. But how many people in the past and present can eventually become immortals?

The vast majority of cultivators will eventually be like ordinary people, returning to dust from dust to dust. In this process, they naturally pursue fame and fortune, seeking benefits for their own enjoyment in this world, gaining fame for themselves, and for future generations. seek fortune.

Fei Qing probably wanted to profit from him.

In fact, this time, Fei Qing obtained two billion spiritual stones, which was considered a huge amount of money.

This amount was still within Lin Mu's acceptable range.

He just hoped that Fei Qing could calm down and not be like the others, jealous and jealous to the point of crossing the line.

He can take out two billion spirit stones.

But if it goes too far in the future, it will still not work.

Of course, it’s useless to think too much now.

Lin Mu knew that now it was impossible for him to compete with the behemoth Fei Qing. Compared to Lingbao Sect, Fei Qing was even more powerful.

But he had to be prepared on both sides. If Fei Qing understood the situation, then he might not be able to cooperate with Fei Qing. If Fei Qing went too far, they would eventually part ways.

Fortunately, now he finally has a chance to breathe.

When everyone in Ningxiang City picks up the jade slip, he will be in a great position and will be a strong deterrent to anyone. As long as Fei Qing is not dazzled by interests, I believe he will not do anything stupid. .

After thinking about the way forward, Lin Mu decided to do the things in front of him first.

He immediately hurried to Feixian Palace.

Earning spiritual stones is important.

Walking on the empty street, Lin Mu was a little surprised.

Ningxiang City is a big city. In the past, the streets were filled with cultivators coming and going, but today it was surprisingly deserted.

After turning a few streets, he finally understood the reason.

All the cultivators rushed to the street where Feixian Temple was located.

Inside and outside, the whole street was crowded with practitioners, densely packed, crowded and dark.

Lin Mu couldn't help but smile.

The piece of land Qingxiu gave him was located on a very cheap street in Ningxiang City, which was usually sparsely populated.

But now, there is no second street more lively than this street in the entire Ningxiang City.

All these changes are due to Feixian Palace.

Lin Mu felt more confident and confident. This was definitely just the beginning.

In the future, this street will definitely become the most prosperous street in Ningxiang City!

As soon as Lin Mu arrived at the outskirts of the street, he was spotted by a group of cultivators standing outside who couldn't squeeze in.

Everyone was astonished as if they had discovered a new world.

"Lin Mu is back!"

"Come out so soon!"

"Aren't you in solitary confinement?"

"You killed two Fusion Stage cultivators in public, and nothing happened?"

"The city lord must have taken his spirit stone!"

In this regard, Lin Mu had no choice but to pretend to be indifferent and move forward as if he didn't hear anything.

But what surprised him was that no cultivator made way for him this time. They all stared at him, trying to figure out what was going on on his face.

Some cultivators who had originally been struggling to squeeze towards Feixian Palace turned their heads at this time, wanting to see the excitement.

Lin Mu glanced at the dark crowd in front and knew that it was too difficult to get through.

Originally, in Ningxiang City, cultivators were not allowed to fly with swords. This was also a city rule.

Lin Mu couldn't care about this anymore.

He immediately flew up and flew towards Feixian Palace.

City rules are no longer important to him.

He killed two practitioners in the integration stage, but nothing happened to them.

He didn't believe that Fei Qing could still cause trouble for him over such a trivial matter as flying through the air.

The figure fell down in front of Feixian Palace, causing another commotion.

When Qingxiu saw Lin Mu coming back safe and sound, she couldn't help but smile. She rushed to greet him and asked, "Is the matter resolved?"

Lin Mu sent a message, "It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go upstairs to talk."

Qingxiu nodded lightly, turned around and gave instructions to the eight female cultivators, and immediately followed Lin Mu to the second floor of Feixian Palace.

Arriving at the second floor of Feixian Palace and entering a private room, after Lin Mu placed a ban, Qingxiu couldn't help but ask, "How did the Lord of Philadelphia let you come back?"

"He said that the matter could be big or small, and that he could make the decision himself." Lin Mu said truthfully, "He asked me to promise him something, and then fined me two billion spiritual stones to let me come back. "

"Two billion spiritual stones, that's so much?" Qingxiu couldn't help but feel distressed.

"It's better than confinement. Besides, the spirit stones can be earned back quickly, but freedom is priceless." Lin Mu said, "As long as the sale of the jade slips goes smoothly, not to mention the two billion spirit stones will be earned by then." Stone, even 200 billion spiritual stones can be earned."

"I feel relieved now." Qingxiu said with a smile, "If it were another cultivator in the Void Return Stage, with all their wealth added up, I'm afraid they wouldn't have hundreds of millions of spirit stones, let alone two billion spirit stones. When it comes to you, Here, two billion spiritual stones are really nothing.”

"This is the power of spirit stones. Cultivators pursue fame and fortune. As long as they have spirit stones, many things can be accomplished easily!" Lin Mu said with a smile.

"Then what is it that Lord Philadelphia asked you to agree to?" Qingxiu asked with concern.

"He didn't say anything. He said he would tell me later. He said he wouldn't embarrass me. If I feel it's inappropriate, I can refuse." Lin Mu said with a relaxed expression.

In his opinion, this matter has been successfully resolved.

Unexpectedly, Qingxiu frowned and said worriedly, "I'm afraid things are not that simple."

"Fei Qing is a very cunning person. I'm afraid that he will dig a trap for you to jump into. It seems to be an easy thing, but you will realize it is a trap only when you actually do it." Qingxiu reminded, "What do you think? What kind of strength does Fei Qing have? The connections he has are definitely not comparable to what you have now, and his friends are also extremely powerful!"

"Do you think it will be easy even if he can't solve it?" Qingxiu asked worriedly, "For you, it is even more dangerous."

"Then no matter what he says, I will reject it directly." Lin Mu said with a smile.

"You think too simply." Qingxiu said, "If his request doesn't sound difficult, if you refuse, he will have an excuse to say that you have not kept your word. Then you will have offended him and he wants to punish you." No one can stop you in Ningxiang City! If you agree, you will probably fall into his trap."

"You mean, I've fallen into his trap now?" Lin Mu then realized the seriousness of the problem, "And it's impossible to refuse?"

"This is Fei Qing's insidiousness and cunningness." Qingxiu nodded, "Don't forget that he always smiles when he talks to you and is very easy-going. In fact, every step is a trap."

"How do you know he was smiling when he spoke to me?" Lin Mu said in surprise.

Qingxiu didn't go, how could she know so well?

"Fei Qing is a famous smiling tiger. He always smiles at everyone. He looks easy-going and easy to talk to." Qingxiu said without hiding anything. "But the truth is completely the opposite. I won't go into details. You just need to know that those who climbed to his position have killed countless cultivators and stained their hands with blood before they could climb up. After climbing up, they killed countless past opponents and enemies."

"I'm afraid he has killed more fusion cultivators than you have ever seen!" Qingxiu said, "That is to say, few fusion cultivators who have had close contact with him have a good ending. Most of them have fallen!"

Lin Mu was chilled to the bone.

The Fei Qing that Qingxiu mentioned and the Fei Qing he had contacted were two completely opposite people.

How could this be possible?

But he felt that what Qingxiu said was true.

There was no need for Qingxiu to lie to him.
