Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Now that your mind is clear and you can barely understand human speech, I'm too lazy to waste any more useless words on you. Just tell me, what do you want?"
"If I'm in a good mood, after you die, I'll make a model of you and burn it for you, so you can get what you wish for in the afterlife."
The man with triangular eyes couldn't help but tremble. At this moment, he clearly felt the killing intent emanating from Lin Xiaotian. The aura was like Mount Tai pressing down, making it impossible for him to breathe.
It felt as if his heart was being squeezed, and the suffocating pain made his face even paler.
The fear in his eyes intensified. He struggled to stand up, then bent his knees and, with a bang, knelt before Lin Xiaotian.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong!"
"I really didn't know your strength was so formidable. And I was angry because of Wu Gaoyang."
"He's the one who snatched my treasure. If he hadn't taken my things, I wouldn't have come looking for him. And that guy's mouth is so foul; I just asked him where my stuff was, and he kept saying hurtful things."
Lin Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh at this. His eyes were filled with mockery. "With your attitude, it's a miracle Wu Gaoyang didn't curse you to death."
"But you said he snatched your things. I'm very curious about what he took from you. I know Wu Gaoyang quite well; he's a slacker who's too lazy to even turn over, let alone steal your things."
Hearing this, the man with triangular eyes gritted his teeth and said directly, "He took the ancestral treasure cauldron from my family."
"When I went to find him, he said he bought it with his own money, for a million dollars, and asked me to give him the money, and he'd return the cauldron. But where would I find that kind of money? If I had that much money, I wouldn't be trying to get the cauldron back."
"I was forced into this situation, which is why I came to find him. If I had any other way to find a real cauldron, I wouldn't have come to you. I don't want to get involved with you any more than necessary."
Lin Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly. "If I hadn't known about this, I might have actually been fooled by you."
"I did get a cauldron from Old Gao, the one I have in my hand now."
With a wave of his hand, a cauldron the size of a fist appeared in his hand.
The man with triangular eyes was stunned, then shook his head without thinking. "Our family's cauldron doesn't look like this at all. It's at least the size of a water bucket, much bigger than the one in your hand."
Even though he didn't know where Lin Xiaotian got such a large item, he wasn't in a state to be curious now. He needed to find a way to get out of his current predicament.
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "You think it looks like this?"
As his voice fell, the cauldron in his hand slowly grew by a full circle.
The man with triangular eyes' eyes widened abruptly. Disbelief and shock filled his gaze, and his heart churned like a stormy sea. At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind.
He realized he had no power to resist this young man; this was clearly an immortal cultivator!
He was just a martial artist; how could he fight against him?
At this point, he was completely convinced, and the resentment on his face vanished, replaced by deep fear. "Immortal, this medicine cauldron is indeed our family's heirloom."
"It's just that it was accidentally sold off by someone in our family. If I hadn't wanted to retrieve my family heirloom, I wouldn't have done those excessive things."
"Please give me another chance. I promise I will never bother you again. Consider that medicine cauldron a gift from me."
Lin Xiaotian was almost amused to tears. "You need to understand one thing: this is something I bought with real money. And Wu Gaoyang is my subordinate; it's only natural for him to collect these treasures for me. You shouldn't have gone directly to Wu Gaoyang, or if you did, you shouldn't have tried to kill him."
"But you completely disregarded him, even crippling all his meridians, turning him into a complete cripple."
"For a martial artist, once all their strength is gone, do you know what that means?"
The man with triangular eyes certainly knew. He was a martial artist himself, and now he was being targeted by Lin Xiaotian.
His heart trembled uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with extreme fear. He stammered, "Immortal, I truly know I was wrong. Before, I didn't know how important our family's cauldron was, but now I do."
"But you bought it for a million dollars. That price is impossible to buy our family heirloom."
"I felt indignant, so I came to cause trouble. But at that time, I was enraged by Wu Gaoyang's words, which is why I did those excessive things. Please, can you give me another chance? I promise I'll never dare to do it again."
"And I'll disappear as far away as possible, never bothering you, immortal. You won't have to lift a finger."
Lin Xiaotian flipped his wrist, and the medicine cauldron vanished from his hand.
This scene made the man with triangular eyes even more dumbfounded. He was even more certain of his guess: the person before him was truly an immortal cultivator, while he was merely a martial artist, barely reaching the Grandmaster realm.
How could he possibly fight this?
It was clearly bullying!
His face was filled with immense frustration, and he was on the verge of tears. "Immortal, I truly know I was wrong. Please give me another chance!"
Lin Xiaotian said with a half-smile, "Since you've begged so sincerely, I'll give you a chance and spare your dog life. However, there's one thing you must do."
"Whatever it is, if I can do it, I will do it without hesitation." The man with triangular eyes agreed readily. He knew he was no match for Lin Xiaotian and had no chance of escaping.
As long as he was given a chance to live, even if he was crippled, he would carry it out without hesitation.
If his life was gone, then everything would be gone.
He cherished his life dearly and would not give up such a good opportunity.
Lin Xiaotian's smile grew even brighter. "My condition is..."
