However, the drinking Blood Thorn, the soundly sleeping Yang Ling, and the meditating Old Diao still showed zero reaction like before.

Their complete disregard toward Lin Xun made them appear extremely arrogant. After all, this was Lin Xun’s turf, Mind Cleansing Peak.

This proved that they were showing such attitudes on purpose!

It was a test for Lin Xun!

If he could obtain their acknowledgment, they would naturally choose to stay. If he failed, even Spirit Vulture would not be able to convince them otherwise.

Lin Zhong and Xiaoke could clearly see this as well. Lin Zhong was somewhat worried, while Xiaoke seemed to be looking forward to seeing what would happen next.

Only Lin Xun had a wide smile on his face. He raised his head toward the peak and said in a clear and loud voice, “Third Old Zhu, I’ll leave this to you. It doesn’t matter what method you use, I only need them to be happily convinced to stay.”

Lin Xun placed extra emphasis on the words ‘happily convinced.’

Third Old Zhu?

Xiaoke and Spirit Vulture were stunned and their expressions soon turned strange. They had found out about Third Old Zhu a few days ago when they returned to Mind Cleansing Peak.

However, they never imagined that Lin Xun would throw this thorny problem to Third Old Zhu!

Lin Zhong’s body turned rigid. He was no longer worried about Lin Xun. Instead, he began to become concerned for Blood Thorn, Yang Ling, and Old Diao.

Among those present, only Lin Xun and Lin Zhong had personally witnessed Third Old Zhu’s terror. Hence, Lin Zhong understood full well that Third Old Zhu only knew one method to solve problems: fighting!

Rumble!

Before Lin Xun’s voice could fade, a towering figure with messy hair had already appeared in the martial practice field.

A frightening blood lust spread from Third Old Zhu’s body, causing the air to wail as if space was about to crumble.

Everyone seemed to see a mountain of corpses amidst a sea of blood with Third Old Zhu standing atop and disdainfully looking down upon them like a god of killing.

Strong!

Xiaoke’s and Spirit Vulture’s pupils shrank.

Further away, Blood Thorn suddenly shuddered, causing him to choke on his alcohol and cough loudly.

The sleeping Yang Ling flusteredly rose to his feet like a frightened rabbit.

The meditating Old Diao abruptly opened his eyes as the sinister scars on his face squeezed together.

In an instant, all three looked towards Third Old Zhu, unable to continue showing a complete disregard for everything around them.

“Will you guys voluntarily lower your heads or do I have to come and press them down myself?” Third Old Zhu flatly said with a stoic face. His messy hair and giant figure with bulging bronze muscles gave off an oppressive pressure.

Blood Thorn, Yang Ling, and Old Diao were stunned. Their expressions fluctuated, clearly not expecting Lin Xun to use such a violent and simple method to gain their acknowledgment.

Wasn’t this no different from cheating?

However, Lin Xun looked completely unapologetic. He had already withdrawn to the side and was enthusiastically watching as if the entire affair had nothing to do with him.

Rumble!

Upon seeing that the trio was not replying, terrifying killing intent gushed out of Third Old Zhu like a devastating storm that changed the color of the sky.

Blood Thorn, Yang Li, and Old Diao’s expressions changed as they finally spoke.

“Please wait!”

“Friend, this matter should have nothing to do with you, right?”

“Is this how Mind Cleansing Peak treats their guests?”

Third Old Zhu’s killing intent was far too terrifying and made their hearts tremble uncontrollably. They knew that they would be instantly crushed by him if they fought.

Third Old Zhu indifferently declared, “Submit or do not submit. Choose one.”

This made the trio’s expressions turn ugly as they looked towards Lin Xun and Spirit Vulture.

“Third Old Zhu, please pause for a moment.”

Lin Xun finally opened his mouth, allowing the trio’s expressions to ease substantially.

Soon after, he disappointedly looked toward Spirit Vulture. “Spirit Vulture, are these the experts you invited back? They don’t seem to be much.”

Before Spirit Vulture could reply, Blood Thorn disdainfully spit on the ground and said, “Kid, what do you know? What right do you have to judge our capabilities?”

Lin Xun raised a brow and grinned. “How about…I let Third Old Zhu continue and personally appraise your abilities?”

Blood Thorn’s expression turned rigid. Exasperated, he said, “You, you…you dare to threaten us?”

On the other hand, Yang Ling seemed to be very disappointed. He looked at Spirit Vulture and said, “You want us to work for this kind of person?”

Old Diao also spoke up. “Only knowing how to bully others through force. This kid shows no sincerity at all.”

Spirit Vulture merely smiled. He wanted to see how Lin Xun would resolve the situation.

“I tried to be polite earlier but you guys ignored me. So I changed my approach and asked Third Old Zhu to help me obtain your acknowledgment and now you guys are saying I’m not being sincere.”

Lin Xun helplessly sighed. “You three are very difficult to please.”

Blood Thorn icily snorted. “Of course you should first obtain our acknowledgment if you want us to work for you and not use force to make us submit. If we knew this would happen, we would never have agreed to come here.”

Lin Xun chuckled. “So that’s why. I understand now. If you guys told me this earlier, would such a misunderstanding have occurred?”

The trio could not say anything in response.

In the distance, Lin Zhong burst into laughter. Their Young Master was so unconventional. However, it could not be denied that his methods were direct and effective.

Xiaoke also pursed her lips as if trying to hold back her laughter.

Spirit Vulture said, “Since it was a misunderstanding, shall we discuss proper matters next?”

“Wait!”

Blood Thorn rejected and proudly said, “We can start discussing proper matters after this kid obtains my acknowledgment!”

Lin Xun’s smile grew increasingly cold. He looked toward Yang Ling and Old Diao. “Do you two feel the same?”

The two of them nodded.

A sliver of annoyance surged in Lin Xun’s heart. These three are truly stubborn!

Spirit Vulture frowned and said, “Blood Thorn, you guys…”

He seemed to be rather unhappy as well.

However, he was stopped by Lin Xun before he could finish. “It’s fine. I want to hear how I should obtain their acknowledgment.”

He had already decided that he would ask them to scram if they made things difficult.

After all, he wanted to recruit talents, not masters to be served!

“Our attitudes might not have been right from the start, but we did so because we do not wish to betray our principles either. We believe you do not wish to recruit people without principles either, right?”

Blood Thorn seemed to also agree that they had gone overboard earlier and softened his tone.

Lin Xun directly said, “Speak. What are your terms?”

Blood Thorn’s sloppy expression immediately turned solemn, giving off a faint dignified air.

“I am a combat medic and a pharmacist. I only have one requirement. As long as you can provide an endless supply of ingredients and satisfy my medicine making needs, I will immediately agree to stay here and work for you!”

“Of course, you can nod and agree now, but I would rather see your sincerity.”

Combat medic!

Pharmacist!

An undetectable gleam flashed across Lin Xun’s eyes. After some thought, he said, “Although Mind Cleansing Peak is currently empty, we have various unique resources such as specialized herb gardens located above aeth veins and a medicine production facility that has been inherited from my Lin Clan ancestors: the Precious Pill Room.”

He paused for a moment before he said in a powerful voice, “I can let you be in charge of all of this.”

Blood Thorn stared hard at Lin Xun. After a long time, he said, “Alright, I will temporarily agree.”

“Temporarily agree?”

Lin Xun frowned.

Blood Thorn flatly said, “I don’t believe in verbal promises. You have to show me the goods first.”

Lin Xun suddenly chuckled. He tossed a herb to Blood Thorn and said, “This is my sincerity. If you can refine it into a pill, I guarantee that I will provide more similar herbs in the future!”

Eh?

Blood Thorn hurriedly caught the herb. He still disapproved of the kid, believing that Lin Xun had agreed so quickly because he did not believe in his capabilities. Why else would Lin Xun casually throw him a herb and ask him to refine it?

Lin Xun was obviously trying to probe his herb refining standard!

However, when he took a closer look at what Lin Xun threw at him, Blood Thorn’s expression suddenly turned dazed as if someone had hit him hard on the head. Still dumbstruck, he mumbled, “This is…this is Dragon Saliva Grass?”

The palm-sized herb had a slim stalk and was covered in tiny scale-like patterns. Its nine leaves gleamed bright red as if they were rubies, giving off a dazzling gorgeousness.

Light seemed to ripple from the herb as its fragrance filled the air.

Dragon Saliva Grass!

This was definitely one of the legendary ancient treasures that was said to be capable of creating the blood of gods!

Blood Thorn was dumbstruck.

For a pharmacist, there was nothing more exciting than to see a miracle herb like the Dragon Saliva Grass that should have gone extinct long ago.

Xiaoke, Spirit Vulture, Lin Zhong, Yang Ling, and Old Diao were watching the conversation between Lin Xun and Blood Thorn.

They had been wondering how Lin Xun would convince Blood Thorn and all of them were stunned when they saw this scene.

The fact that a single herb could make Blood Thorn lose his composure was clear proof that Lin Xun’s ‘sincerity’ was more than sufficient!

At this juncture, Blood Thorn would likely hesitate if he was asked to leave.

After all, Lin Xun was not merely providing a stalk of Dragon Saliva Grass but also a specialized garden on Mind Cleansing Peak and the Precious Pill Room inherited from his ancestors!

In the outside world, not just any random pharmacist would have the qualifications to enjoy such treatment.

After a long time, Blood Thorn finally returned to his senses. With a deep breath, he looked toward Lin Xun and earnestly said, “I shall be in your care from now on!”

He bowed with a serious expression that he had never shown before.

This showed that he had acknowledged Lin Xun and had decided to submit.
