One person: I wanted to give up, but my abilities wouldn't allow it.

"Let it explode, anyway, you can build it and even improve it!" Lin Chen started to bluff.

Ma Xianhong thought it made a lot of sense, and even thought it would be better to explode it again.

That way he can improve!

He looked at the busy Ru Hua and felt very gratified.

This furnace is definitely much better than the last one.

"Brother Lin, would you like to be the first person to operate this furnace?"

"Uh... this..." Lin Chen hesitated for a moment.

"Old Ma, would you like me to be the first to tend the furnace?"

"Of course I want to! Don't worry about the furnace exploding. As long as the core is there, even if it explodes, I can rebuild it!"

Ma Xianhong seemed afraid that Lin Chen would not agree, so he said this.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "I can be your first furnace operator."

However, I need a batch of storage rings and half a body. Could you please make them for me?

Ma Xianhong was a very charitable person, and he immediately agreed to Lin Chen's request.

He felt that only by giving Lin Chen more help would Lin Chen stay by his side and work wholeheartedly.

What he didn't know was that Lin Chen did have a conscience, but not much of it.

Especially for someone like him who can harm society.

There is no such thing as conscience.

I came out of Ma Xianhong's room.

Lin Chen found Fu Rong and asked her to cook a few dishes for him separately.

After a good meal and drinks, I leisurely returned to my room.

Fu Rong watched Lin Chen leave, satisfied.

After a day of worry, I can finally relax.

I saw him and Chen Duo leave the village during the day, and I thought he wasn't coming back.

It’s good to be back!

Lin Chen returned to his room and looked at the room's layout, his gaze slightly narrowed.

It's been viewed again!

It seems Zhao Guizhen is still up to his old tricks and is courting death.

I originally intended to leave him for Brother Xiao to handle.

After all, Brother Xiao's lamb spine hot pot is absolutely superb.

But now.

He's practically courting death; I'm almost unable to resist taking action myself.

The night is getting darker.

Most of the villagers were asleep.

Lin Chen was no exception.

I turned off the lights, took off my shoes, and went to sleep.

In a dark corner, an old man peeked out.

If you ignored his sinister eyes and only looked at his face, you would think he was a righteous and awe-inspiring old man.

This person was none other than Zhao Guizhen, who had long coveted Lin Chen's martial arts techniques.

During the day.

He was startled when he saw Lin Chen leave the village, thinking he was going to leave.

In the evening.

Seeing Lin Chen return, Zhao Guizhen secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, he didn't leave.

But after all this turmoil, he couldn't wait any longer.

To prevent any unforeseen complications, Zhao Guizhen finally decided to take action tonight.

He had already heard from the cult leader that Zhang Lingyu and Lin Chen both possessed the Tongtianlu (a type of magical artifact).

If he can't steal Zhang Lingyu, can't he steal Lin Chen?

He's determined to snatch that Heavenly Scroll!

Even Jesus couldn't stop it!

I saw that the lights in Lin Chen's room were off.

Zhao Guizhen revealed a strange smile.

The saying goes, "The bold get rich, the timid starve."

Tonight, we'll wait for him to snatch the Heavenly Scroll.

Within a year.

The name Zhao Guizhen will resound throughout the entire world of supernatural beings.

At that time, fame, status, money, and beautiful women will be within easy reach.

As he thought about it, Zhao Guizhen couldn't stop smiling.

He licked his lips, eager to make his move.

But he held back.

Zhao Guizhen is not a reckless person.

You should only take action when you are absolutely certain.

After waiting for another hour at Lin Chen's door to make sure the person inside was asleep, they made sure he was safe and sound.

Zhao Guizhen darted out of the nearby woods and appeared at Lin Chen's window.

Through the crack in the door, he saw a figure lying on the bed, seemingly fast asleep.

Zhao Guizhen was overjoyed and took out the sleeping powder he had prepared beforehand from his pocket.

It blew in through the crack in the door.

This kind of sleeping gas is high-end; it's said that even a cow would be knocked out after just one puff.

Just to be on the safe side.

Zhao Guizhen blew sleeping powder into the room for several minutes.

They would only stop once they were sure they had enough to seduce Lin Chen!

After blowing out the sleeping powder, he waited for a while.

After taking the antidote, he put the bandit's headscarf over his head again.

Only then did he carefully climb in through the window.

Zhao Guizhen believed that true masters never use the door!

Once inside the room, Zhao Guizhen couldn't wait to start searching.

Although he didn't like Lin Chen, he didn't want to kill him either.

This is Biyou Village. If Lin Chen dies, it will cause a lot of trouble.

He wanted to stay here and continue his cultivation!

He first looked through the clothes Lin Chen had taken off.

He started rummaging through his shoes again.

No, no, still no…

how can that be possible?

Where exactly did he hide the Tongtian Scroll?

"Taoist priest, what are you looking for?"

Just as Zhao Guizhen was searching feverishly...

A lazy voice sounded above his head.

Zhao Guizhen was startled, and his rummaging action froze in mid-air.

He slowly raised his head and saw a face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Caught off guard,

Zhao Guizhen lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"How is that possible? Why weren't you affected by my sleeping powder?"

"Huh? This..."

Lin Chen stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"Maybe you bought a counterfeit product?"

"how is this possible?"

Lin Chen shrugged, indicating that this was indeed the case.

"Look at me, I was drugged by your sleeping potion, and I'm still alive and kicking, aren't I?"

Even though Zhao Guizhen thought the reason was absurd.

I couldn't help but curse the unscrupulous merchant in my heart.

Chapter 124 Dealing with Zhao Guizhen, all these treasures are mine

Zhao Guizhen watched helplessly as Lin Chen caught him.

A sinister glint appeared in his eyes.

"Now that you've discovered it, you have two paths to choose from."

"One option is to hand over the Tongtian Scroll and I'll spare your life; the other is that I'll kill you and take back the Tongtian Scroll. Which do you choose?"

Lin Chen smiled as he looked at Zhao Guizhen, whose face was contorted with rage.

"Master, is there a third way?"

"no!"

"Then I won't choose any of them!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guizhen's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Since you're courting death, then I'll send you to meet the King of Hell."

He suddenly pulled out a stack of talismans from his pocket, muttering incantations.

"I am Zhao Guizhen of the Shangqing School... By the urgent command of Laozi, go to my destination..."

The talismans in Zhao Guizhen's hand floated to the surroundings.

Then they stuck them on the windows, walls, and doors.

There is one for each of the four cardinal directions.

After doing all this, he looked at Lin Chen and smiled contemptuously:

"I have long been prepared for this Heavenly Scroll."

"The talismans I just sent out are soundproof talismans."

"The beauty of this talisman is that it not only cannot transmit sound, but also cannot transmit the aura of fighting."

"Even if I kill you right here in this room, skin you alive, no one will know."
