Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

Shen Lin had previously thought that Lin Youwei had called him over because of the demonic cultivator case, especially since the deceased was his nephew.

But now, after a round of small talk, Lin Youwei didn't mention the case at all.

From the interesting stories of Qiulin County to the gossip from the state capital, they talked about everything.

Gradually, Shen Lin realized.

Was he... trying to win him over?

Although Shen Lin had tried his best to hide his cultivation level, a twenty-year-old at the Opening Meridian stage was still too rare in Qiulin County.

Do you think someone with Li Bailin's family background couldn't obtain Opening Meridian secret techniques or Tongmai Pills?

It's just that even with these resources, whether one can successfully open their meridians still depends on oneself.

The human body is infinitely mysterious, and the meridian positions within each person's body are not exactly the same; a slight difference can lead to a huge error.

Even if one obtains the Opening Meridian secret technique, they must comprehend it themselves and find the meridian positions within their own body.

Therefore, talent is very important.

Sure enough, the next moment Lin Youwei changed the subject and said, "I heard that you killed three more demons this time? Very good! I will personally communicate with the Demon Suppression Division and definitely won't let you suffer a loss."

Shen Lin pretended to be flattered and immediately got up to thank him.

"Thank you, County Magistrate Lin. I am honored. Regarding the case of the demonic cultivator, I still..."

"Oh!" Lin Youwei seemed to know what he was going to say and directly waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "I get angry when I talk about this matter. That demonic cultivator had already been captured alive by you, yet Hu Dongxing was able to let someone silence him right under his nose! Hmph!"

He shook his head and continued, "You don't have to worry about this matter! Hu Dongxing and Qian Dazhi messed things up, so they should clean up the mess!"

Speaking of this, he paused, seemingly thinking of something, and suddenly got up, saying, "That's right, I haven't had the chance to thank you for this matter before. Although solving murder cases is the duty of the county government, the deceased was ultimately my nephew, so I must thank you properly..."

As he spoke, he began to rummage through the bookshelves behind him.

Shen Lin was rendered speechless by this action.

Good heavens, I already changed the topic, and you can still bring it back.

Helpless, he could only get up and say, "Your Honor is too kind. This is all part of my duty. I remember that the Demon Suppression Division has set up a bounty for demonic cultivators, so I won't trouble Your Honor."

Hearing this, Lin Youwei's raised hand paused slightly, and he slowly turned around.

The person who held the power of a county possessed an aura no weaker than those at the Opening Meridian stage that Shen Lin had seen before.

However, Shen Lin did not retreat in the slightest but quietly looked directly at Lin Youwei.

What the other party wanted was nothing more than to recruit him to his command.

Although he was now technically his subordinate, in the end, he recognized the official uniform, not Lin Youwei as a person.

He probably wanted to make him his personal retainer, like that Golden Brushman.

Shen Lin didn't want to be his follower and spend his life like that.

He still wanted to join the Demon Suppression Division and climb to the peak of martial arts cultivation step by step by slaying demons and eliminating evil.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad! You are really good!"

After a moment of silence, Lin Youwei suddenly laughed.

He took a book from a nearby bookshelf, blew away the dust on it, and said, "With your martial arts talent, you have a great chance of joining the Demon Suppression Division. You don't want to follow me and cut off your path to martial arts, I understand that. However, I didn't intend to make you give up your idea of going to the Demon Suppression Division."

He placed the book on the desk, pushed it forward, and chuckled, "I'm just forming a good relationship!"

Shen Lin looked down at the book, and his pupils shrank slightly.

《Eagle Claw》

Shen Lin had seen this martial art in the exchange manual of the Demon Suppression Division before.

It required a full 30 contribution points to exchange for the martial art, so its preciousness could be imagined.

Was he giving away such a precious martial art just to form a good relationship?

"It seems that you know the origin of this martial art."

Lin Youwei smiled, sat down behind the desk, and picked up his teacup, saying, "Take it with confidence. Your talent is worth my investment."

Shen Lin smiled and, without much hesitation, directly reached out and picked up the 《Eagle Claw》.

"Thank you, Your Honor. If I achieve success in martial arts in the future, I will definitely not forget Your Honor's kindness today."

Shen Lin couldn't figure out Lin Youwei's thoughts and didn't want to accept his kindness.

However, what the other party took out was what he needed most at this stage: martial arts!

Shen Lin had now opened up ten meridians in his body, but there were still two meridians that had not been explored clearly, and he needed martial arts to deduce them.

Forget it, at worst, he would protect his life if he had the opportunity in the future.

Having made up his mind, Shen Lin took the benefits very calmly.

"Good, good, good. The path of martial arts should be like this. How can being timid and bashful be the demeanor of a martial artist?"

Lin Youwei seemed very happy, stroked his beard with great satisfaction, and said to Li Shiye, "Shiye, has the arrangement at Yanbin Restaurant been properly made?"

Li Shiye smiled and immediately said, "It has been arranged long ago!"

"Nephew Shen, it's getting late. I have arranged a banquet at Yanbin Restaurant. Let's not go home until we're drunk today!"

Shen Lin opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say the words of refusal.

Compared to social banquets, he now wanted to go home immediately to deduce martial arts.

It's just that he had just taken the other party's benefits, and it was a bit embarrassing to turn his back on him as soon as he put on his pants.

Yanbin Restaurant was not far from the county government, so Lin Youwei did not take a sedan chair but walked out of the county government with Shen Lin while chatting, followed by the Shiye and the Golden Brushman Du Yuanshan.

After walking on the road for a while, Shen Lin, who was listening to Lin Youwei bragging, suddenly moved his expression and inadvertently looked behind him.

A young man in green clothes had been carefully following them since they left the county government, and his eyes had never left County Magistrate Lin.

Du Yuanshan also noticed the man at this time, stepped forward, and whispered a few words in Lin Youwei's ear.

Lin Youwei frowned, stroked his beard, and said, "Go and bring him over!"
