"Brother, I want to go too. You, master, and Sister Xin Qi are all leaving. I'll be so bored alone." Hearing that her master and brother were leaving for a few days, Li XinTong was not pleased and insisted on joining them.

"XinTong, just stay in the sect. The place brother is going to will be dangerous," Li Lin said. It was no place for fun and could be dangerous at any moment. It was not convenient to take Li XinTong along.

"No, I want to go. Master, please take me with you." Seeing Li Lin disagree, Li XinTong immediately grabbed the hand of her master, the Soul Summoning Poison Master Dong WuMing, with a look of grievance on her face, almost as if she was about to cry.

"Alright, master will take you with him. It will also let you see master's methods, which will be beneficial for your cultivation," said Dong WuMing to his precious disciple, naturally feeling too tender-hearted to refuse, and immediately agreed to take his precious disciple along.

Li Lin smiled helplessly. Since Dong WuMing had agreed, he had no choice. This was his Old Poisoner's precious disciple, who could afford to provoke her?

"Alright, just don't run around everywhere when we get there," Li Lin told Li XinTong. Then, they switched to the Sky-Winged Snow Lion, and the three of them leaped onto the back of the Sky-Winged Snow Lion, which neighed and then flapped its wings, heading towards Tuan Mountain Town.

Tuan Mountain Town, originally a territory of the Rakshasa Sect, was now filled with many disciples of the JiuHua Sect. All the shops were suffering terribly, the tributes they had to pay were unbearable, and several hundred shops were squeezed dry by the JiuHua Sect. Sometimes, if some small shops couldn't pay enough tribute, they would be smashed directly, causing many people to complain.

"Quick, the people from the JiuHua Sect are coming again, close the shop."

"We can't continue doing business anymore. Boss, we small businesses should leave Tuan Mountain Town."

On the streets, a group of JiuHua Sect disciples came, and many small shops closed their doors in fear, unable to offend the JiuHua Sect.

In the town, there were also a few large shops with some power, but they also dared not offend the JiuHua Sect and were angry but did not dare to speak out.

At this time, on the street, five disciples of the JiuHua Sect came swaggering, one of them kicked open the door of a small shop: "Pay the tribute quickly, or get out of Tuan Mountain Town."

"Sir, we just paid the tribute last month. Wasn't it supposed to be once every half a year? Moreover, what we paid last time has already doubled. We small businesses really can't afford it?" A timid ordinary woman said, standing next to her was a honest-looking middle-aged man and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, all showing faces filled with panic and fear.

"Now it's once a month. If you can't pay, then leave Tuan Mountain Town," a young man in green clothes said coldly among the five disciples of the JiuHua Sect.

"Sir, if we leave Tuan Mountain Town, we will have nowhere to go," the middle-aged man said.

"That's your problem. Otherwise, this girl can spend a night with us, and this month's tribute will be waived for you." At this moment, the young man's eyes were filled with lust as he looked at the panicked girl. Although she was dressed simply, her features were delicate, and she had a graceful figure. She was quite attractive, as the saying goes, an eighteen-year-old girl is like a flower, naturally not bad.

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man pushed the middle-aged woman aside, grabbed the girl's hand, and the other four men immediately laughed, their eyes filled with beastly light.

"Let me go, let me go." The girl panicked and struggled desperately, which only made the men more excited.

"Please, sir, we beg you," the middle-aged man and woman immediately knelt on the ground, pleading with the five men.

"Get lost." One of the young men coldly shouted impatiently, holding a big knife in his hand and slashing fiercely towards the middle-aged man.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

"Dad..."

The girl was terrified, her face pale as she saw the knife coming down, its cold light dazzling. She couldn't bear to watch and closed her eyes tightly. At this moment, an invisible wave spread out from around her, and she managed to break free from the young man's grasp. The young man was also taken aback and staggered back a step.

"Showing off in my Tuan Mountain Town, seeking death."

"Whoosh..."

At this moment, a low and cold shout came, followed by a sharp whistling sound with a scorching aura, and the disciple of the JiuHua Sect immediately fell to the ground with a blood hole appearing in his forehead from the back of his head.

Simultaneously, three figures appeared on the street, an old man, a young man, and a little girl about ten years old. What was most peculiar was that a small yellow snake was coiled on the little girl's shoulder, raising its head.

"Who are you? You dare to meddle in the affairs of the JiuHua Sect." The remaining four young men's faces changed dramatically, turning back in shock to look at these three people.

"Dad."

At this time, the girl ran over to her father, looking back at the bodies of the JiuHua Sect disciples on the ground with fear, causing all three of them to tremble.

"Little ants from the JiuHua Sect dare to be so arrogant, go to death." Among the three newcomers, an old man in a black robe with a chilling aura, without any visible movements, sent four black lights like lightning through the air, bringing a sweeping chill and shooting out.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Four sounds of breaking the air passed, and the four disciples of the JiuHua Sect had no time to react. They were instantly penetrated by the black lights, their bodies turning pitch black in an instant, falling to the ground with eyes full of shock, not even knowing how they died.

"Master, you're so amazing. I want to learn this." From a distance, the little girl immediately applauded, and the three newcomers were naturally Li Lin, Dong WuMing, and Li XinTong.

"You will learn it in the future. This is just a trivial skill," Dong WuMing said, his face immediately blooming into a smile upon being praised by his precious disciple.

"Thank you, sir, for saving our lives."

The three people from the small shop turned around and immediately knelt before Li Lin and the others to thank them. In their eyes, Dong WuMing was regarded as a godlike figure. These disciples of the JiuHua Sect were all martial artists, regarded as high and mighty, yet now they were killed in an instant.

on, you'll be able to live peacefully. The people from the JiuHua Sect won't bother you anymore," Li Lin told the three people.

"Sir, there are many people from the JiuHua Sect. You should leave quickly. There are more of them ahead. If they all come here, you won't be able to escape," the girl who was scared and panicked just now regained her composure and said to Li Lin.

"Is that so? No worries, I was actually looking for them," Li Lin said with a slight smile, not considering the disciples of the JiuHua Sect as a threat.

"You should leave quickly. The people from the JiuHua Sect will arrive soon. You've killed their people, and they have many more. They won't let you off," people from many shops around also came out and, along with many onlookers from the street, urged them to leave.

"Sir, you should really leave quickly. You are powerful, but the JiuHua Sect has many people," the middle-aged woman also said worriedly.

"Kid, this little girl has a good talent. Her soul strength is very strong, probably not discovered by others. The strength of her soul might have reached a top-level. I didn't expect such a talented girl in this small shop. It's a pity she started a bit late. A piece of fine jade has been spoiled. However, if she's trained a bit, her future achievements will still be decent," Dong WuMing transmitted his voice to Li Lin.

"Old Dong, why don't you take her under your wing? When I arrived, I also felt the soul strength from this girl. I thought she was a Spirit Practitioner at first glance. Top-level Spirit Practitioner talent is rare to see. If those major sects knew about her talent, they would rush to take her in," Li Lin immediately said.

"My poison skills are not suitable for her, and I'm afraid she can't endure that kind of hardship. However, having her by my side as a medicinal assistant is possible, and making her a Spirit Practitioner is no issue," Dong WuMing's voice transmission reached Li Lin again.

"Little girl, would you like to follow me as a medicinal assistant? In time, you can also become a Spirit Practitioner, and you won't have to stay in this small shop anymore," Dong WuMing said gently to the girl.

The girl, in her coarse cloth dress and with somewhat messy hair, was momentarily stunned upon hearing Dong WuMing's words. After a moment, her dazed eyes regained a bit of spirit, and she said with some nervousness and fear, "Sir, are you saying I can become a Spirit Practitioner?"

To these ordinary people, a Spirit Practitioner was a highly esteemed figure, even the lowest-level Spirit Initiate was enough to make them look up.

The people around and the girl's parents were also stunned by this unexpected news. Becoming a Spirit Practitioner was a significant event.

"Indeed, if you're willing, you can follow me," Dong WuMing said indifferently.

"Willing, of course, we are willing," the girl's parents reacted, pulling the girl to kneel again beside Dong WuMing, saying, "Thank you, sir. Thank you so much."

Becoming a Spirit Practitioner was undoubtedly like a golden phoenix flying out of the mountains for ordinary people. There was no reason for them not to be willing.

"Sir, I'm willing. I'm willing to be a servant or a maid," the girl quickly became excited. Becoming a Spirit Practitioner meant that her parents would no longer be humiliated by others, and her family could live a good life.
