Lin Xiaotian's face broke into a brilliant smile. "You said that yourself. If you can't produce a seven-colored spirit mushroom that's a few days old, you'll truly die a horrible death."
"You've made a promise to me. If you dare to play tricks on me, then even if your father were here, he wouldn't be able to stop me from killing you."
Liu Shaoxuan knew that his family truly possessed such a treasure. He nodded without hesitation. "If I lie to you, may I die a horrible death."
"Then what is that millennium-old medicinal ingredient your family has stored?" Lin Xiaotian saw a possibility in Liu Shaoxuan's eyes.
This guy didn't seem to be lying to him.
His expression and demeanor were definitely not like someone bragging.
Liu Shaoxuan immediately said, "Its name seems to be Seven-Colored Spirit Mushroom. Even if one suffers severe external injuries, just scraping off a tiny bit of powder can allow them to recover at an extremely rapid pace."
"It doesn't require any other medicinal ingredients to become a miraculous healing medicine. It can cure all external injuries."
"My father said that this precious spirit mushroom was obtained by chance."
"It's a true rarity. As for how it's stored, my father placed it in the environment most suitable for the Seven-Colored Spirit Mushroom to grow, and it's meticulously cared for daily by core members of the family."
"Everything I've said is true. If I lie to you, may I die a horrible death."
Lin Xiaotian's face was already beaming with a brilliant smile. He walked over and patted Liu Shaoxuan on the shoulder.
"You're quite good. If you hadn't told me this news, I wouldn't have known your Liu family had such a treasure."
"However, your father might beat you to death for telling me this."
"I advise you to prepare yourself in advance. Run when you need to run, or you'll truly be finished."
Liu Shaoxuan didn't believe a single word of this.
His only thought was to stall Lin Xiaotian until his father arrived. Then, Lin Xiaotian wouldn't be able to escape.
At that point, it would be up to him whether Lin Xiaotian lived or died.
He had already begun fantasizing about Lin Xiaotian kneeling before him and begging for mercy.
Lin Xiaotian didn't bother with the guy anymore. The corners of his mouth curled into a cold arc. He knew exactly what the other person was thinking.
But this was a good thing. Otherwise, how could he have obtained such important information?
A thousand-year-old Seven-Colored Spirit Mushroom, combined with those few thousand-year-old ginsengs, could be used to concoct pills that increased cultivation.
After taking them, his realm might soar.
Perhaps he could even break through a major realm.
Both of them were smiling happily.
Lin Xiaotian picked up the wine on the table and poured himself a glass. After taking a sip, he put it aside with a look of disdain.
"I say, Xiao Liu, what kind of stuff do you usually drink?"
"You're a rich young master, yet you drink this garbage?"
Liu Shaoxuan's mouth twitched slightly. The wine Lin Xiaotian considered garbage was worth tens of thousands of yuan a bottle and was the most expensive wine in this club.
As for the more valuable wines displayed, they were for deceiving suckers and for use by hostesses.
As a regular customer with an extraordinary identity, the club staff wouldn't dare to deceive him.
"We have some good wine at home. If you like it, I can discuss it with my father when he arrives and ask him to bring out his collection for you."
Lin Xiaotian's face showed a satisfied smile. "Good, you're very sensible!"
"You truly are a filial son!"
Liu Shaoxuan chuckled, inwardly grinding his teeth in hatred, just waiting for his father to arrive.
Time ticked by, and Lin Xiaotian occasionally coaxed out more information, extracting almost everything Liu Shaoxuan knew.
He now had a rough idea of the Liu family's assets.
The information came from Liu Shaoxuan, so it was highly credible.
Footsteps sounded from outside the door.
Liu Shaoxuan clearly heard them, and his eyes couldn't help but reveal excitement. He looked at Lin Xiaotian with hatred and a threat in his gaze.
"Did you hear the footsteps? It's probably my dad. I'll go open the door right away."
Lin Xiaotian nodded, not noticing the almost unconcealable look in the other man's eyes.
As soon as Liu Shaoxuan opened the door, he saw the people outside.
Leading the way was his father.
Behind his father was a middle-aged man dressed in coarse cloth, exuding an air of aloofness.
Seeing this person, his face lit up with even more joy.
He knew how powerful Uncle Wang was. He could even kick through a concrete wall and shatter it. He had only seen Uncle Wang in action once.
But that one time had left an indelible impression on him.
"With Uncle Wang here, those scoundrels are definitely finished today!"
"You must break all his limbs and leave his dog life for me to deal with."
"I want to flay him, grind his bones to dust, and make him understand the consequences of laying a hand on me."
"These clear palm prints on my face were all slapped by that bastard. I want to torture that mongrel to death."
His voice was gnashing and extremely venomous.
His eyes were filled with twisted rage.
Uncle Wang nodded arrogantly. "Don't worry. He's just a common mortal. He can't make any waves in front of me."
"Whatever you want to do to torture him, I'll fulfill it."
As he spoke, his gaze swept into the private room, where he saw Lin Xiaotian sitting on the sofa with a smile.
A cold sneer appeared on his face.
"Another one who doesn't know his place."
Master Liu also saw Lin Xiaotian. His eyes widened in stunned disbelief.
He hadn't expected to meet Lin Xiaotian again so soon, and under such circumstances. Lin Xiaotian had slapped his son several times, and the clear palm prints had already turned purplish-blue.
They were incredibly conspicuous on his face.
Just as he was about to speak, Liu Shaoxuan couldn't hold back any longer. He jumped into the private room.
Pointing at Lin Xiaotian, he said arrogantly, "You little bastard, what I told you earlier was just to keep you here."
"Now my dad is here, and he's brought the most formidable divine expert from our family."
"Today, I will torture you to death."
"This is the consequence of making my dad come here personally. Do you think a piece of trash like you is worthy of my dad's presence?"
"Since you've done this, you'll definitely pay a bloody price. In your next life, you better see clearly who you can and cannot provoke."
His words were filled with arrogance, and his eyes gleamed with triumph.
