Chapter 296: Chapter 232: Whirlwind (15)

Especially when he thought of the scene after his father knew about this matter, he was filled with a wave of terror.

Fan Mingxiu hesitated, "Mr. Xia? Are you alright?"

Xia Jianlong finally gave a bitter smile and said, "Mr. Fan, could you lend me some money to tide me over? Preferably money from the present world."

Fan Mingxiu asked, "How much do you need?"

Xia Jianlong: "Do you have five hundred million?"

Fan Mingxiu cursed silently in his heart, then thought, "Is this fellow asking for money to make up for his gambling losses?"

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Mr. Xia, what do you need so much money for?"

Xia Jianlong, looking at the live stream, said, "I originally thought Lin Xing was just a supporting character who would perform a bit of martial arts and then leave, but who could have imagined this lad would be so fierce."

"You’ve seen it too, even Xuanyin was completely no match for him. Lin Xing will definitely win the next match as well."

"I’m going to bet on him to win the next match, and I want to win all my money back..."

Fan Mingxiu said, "I’m afraid there will be many betting on Lin Xing next, and when that happens, the odds will be too low, you won’t make much even if you win."

On the other side, Xia Jianlong fell into deep thought, "No, no, after what happened today, Xingxiao and the others will definitely not let Lin Xing keep winning."

"Since Lin Xing’s frontal strength is so strong, they might use any means in the upcoming quarterfinals."

"Lin Xing is doomed to lose, probably ending up dead or crippled, and with the current situation, betting on his loss would definitely have high odds and is absolutely a no-loss business."

Xia Jianlong murmured, "My analysis can’t be wrong, I’m just short of a little capital."

Fan Mingxiu, looking at Xia Jianlong with a helpless expression, said, "Mr. Xia, it’s not that I don’t want to lend you the money, I just don’t have that much money here either."

Xia Jianlong sighed and lowered his head, thinking about who else he could ask for money.

...

Inside the hotel.

The Gu She Fairy, too lazy to dress, floated in mid-air, looking at the martial arts results on the live stream, somewhat surprised she said, "Xuanyin lost too? Lin Xing is nearing his third inheritance, isn’t he? This cultivation speed is truly astonishing."

"Just like that person back then..."

Gu She Fairy’s thoughts briefly returned to the past, then again came back to the present, "But now he has completely offended Xingxiao and those old ghosts; they will definitely make a move to ensure Lin Xing loses the next match."

"Not to mention the people from the Great Bright Buddha are already targeting him; so what comes next..."

Her lips curved slightly upward, "Only I can save him now."

"Afterward, he’ll have to properly repay me."

Thinking this, Gu She Fairy suddenly looked towards Fairy Yunxiao next to her and asked, "Did you hear what I just said? What are you doing, lowering your head all the time?"

With a helpless expression, Fairy Yunxiao raised her phone, showing the chat content while explaining, "Xia Jianlong is contacting me; he’s asking me for a loan."

"Hmm? The son of that old ghost from the Divine Dragon Gang?" Gu She Fairy curiously said, "I see the Divine Dragon Gang is thriving here; they also need to borrow money?"

Fairy Yunxiao said, "Yeah, they said they have a cash flow problem, and if we’re willing to lend them the money, they’re willing to mortgage their pharmaceutical factory to us."

"Pharmaceutical factory?" Gu She Fairy asked, "The one they recently set up in White Eagle Country with the Zhou Tian Sect?"

...

Today, the Emei Sect Leader Bai Mei also rarely attended the martial arts event, watching Lin Xing’s performance, he nodded silently, "Indeed, it’s the ’Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique’, this incomparable skill."

Tianfeng Taoist, watching Lin Xing easily defeating Xuanyin, felt a mix of envy and jealousy.

Especially upon seeing Lin Xing’s interview, he scoffed, "This Lin Xing doesn’t even know where he secretly learned our Emei’s swordsmanship, even obtained our Emei’s treasured techniques, gains a little success and acts so arrogant, truly the look of a petty person in power."

He couldn’t help but look at Bai Mei, asking, "Sect Leader, if the ’Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique’ is so powerful, why did the former Sect Leader take it to the grave and not leave it for our Emei disciples to practice?"

Bai Mei glanced at Tianfeng, saying faintly, "This incredible technique is indeed powerful, even a minor accomplishment within the second inheritance is already invincible, I also once asked the master why he didn’t leave this technique."

Bai Mei explained, "Simply because this technique is not suitable for our Emei."

"Our sect’s traditional inheritance method, the choice for the third inheritance must be a Sword Immortal."

"And after practicing the ’Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique’, the third inheritance choice would only be an Independent Immortal."

"Independent Immortals are self-taught cultivators, with no master, no position, no fame, and no power among immortals."

"The path of inheritance for Independent Immortals severed at the third succession, meaning there are no further inheritances to choose from; once one chooses the path of an Independent Immortal, they are forever limited to the third inheritance."

Upon hearing this, Tianfeng nodded slightly, "So it is, ancestral master is worried that the future Emei disciples, enticed by the power of the ’Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique,’ would all be limited to the third inheritance after learning this unique technique?"

"But the spiritual essence of heaven and earth is thin, and breaking through the third inheritance is already the limit, why not let some disciples choose to cultivate this unique technique?"

Bai Mei continued, "This ’Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique’ is divided into six realms, each level more resource-intensive and significantly harder to break through than the last, not so easy to cultivate."

"With that effort, they could have already broken through to the third inheritance with the ’Heaven and Earth Seizing Method.’"

"In any case, this ’Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique’ looks attractive, but its flaws are significant, and it is not our real goal this time."

Tianfeng asked in confusion, "Then how did Lin Xing manage to cultivate to this level at such a young age?"

Bai Mei shook his head, "This person probably had some extraordinary encounters."

Just then, Tianfeng glanced at his phone.

Bai Mei asked, "What’s the matter?"

Tianfeng said, "Xia Jianlong contacted me wanting to borrow money, suggesting we could invest together."

...

Upon seeing Tianfeng’s reply, Xia Jianlong immediately clicked on it, only to find that the message was a loan advertisement link.

"Stingy Emei miser, you are missing out on a great money-making opportunity."

...

Just then, both Bai Mei and Tianfeng could see that Lin Xing had already emerged from the crowd of reporters.

Bai Mei immediately approached Lin Xing and asked, "Is the unique technique you’ve cultivated the ’Six Secrets Immortal Refining Technique’? May I ask where you acquired this technique?"

Lin Xing’s eyes sparked as he recalled the contents written on the box of the secret manual.

He pondered and then said, "I found this manual on Da Guangming Mountain."

Hearing this, Bai Mei was slightly taken aback.

Lin Xing continued, "This manual has always been on She Shen Cliff at Da Guangming Mountain, and I only picked it up recently..."

Then Lin Xing omitted the conflict with Da Guangming Temple and briefly described how he came into possession of the box.

This was an answer that neither Bai Mei nor Tianfeng had ever considered.

Listening to Lin Xing straightforwardly give this answer, they had no reason to detain him any longer.

Watching Lin Xing’s departing figure, Tianfeng exclaimed unexpectedly, "Master, if this manual is at Da Guangming Temple, could it be that the demon who attacked our Emei before is related to Da Guangming Temple?"

Bai Mei spoke softly, "Perhaps Lin Xing was not telling the truth."

His eyes flickered with a hint of sword light, "Ultimately, we still need to capture him and interrogate him thoroughly before I can be at ease."

...

On the other side, the Sword Maiden watched Lin Xing’s interview and nodded silently, "Having absolute confidence to defeat all opponents is truly the demeanor of a strong man."

"Who would have thought that Lin Xing has grown increasingly dignified."

"I really want to disassemble him into pieces soon..."

Just then, the Sword Maiden felt her phone vibrate. She looked and saw a message from Xia Jianlong asking to borrow money.

The Sword Maiden said to her phone, "If you’re out of money, you might as well rob someone."

"Don’t send me these nonsensical messages again."

...

Elsewhere, just after Lin Xing had returned to Master Bai and Jing Shiyu, he saw Master Bai handing him a phone, "You have a call."

Lin Xing took the phone and heard a somewhat familiar voice from the other end.
