The layout and decoration of this mansion are both first-rate.

  Especially the 'Quan Shui Yuan', made Lin Lei very happy.

  The 'Spring Water Garden' in the mansion was where Clyde used to cultivate when he lived here. As a 9th-level expert, it's not something that can be achieved just by relying on talent alone, and he also needed years of hard work.

  The right half of the Spring Water Garden has a very wide lawn, and next to the lawn are various exercise equipment.

  On the left side of the Spring Water Garden, there is a fake mountain and a hot spring pool. The "hot spring" in this pool comes from underground, after crazy cultivation, soaking in this hot spring pool is indeed a divine and wonderful experience.

  Lin Lei was lying in the water pool, with the warm water rolling and washing his body. The wonderful feeling made Lin Lei comfortable enough to close his eyes.

  "Boss, when are we gonna take down Patterson? I wanted to help you out last night at the banquet." Bebe burst out of the water, his fur even more wet.

  "Don't be in a hurry."

  Lin Lei said and then walked out of the pool, changed into a set of exercise clothes and stepped onto the grass on the right side, starting to silently chant the magic spell. After a moment, the earthy elemental energy began to gather around Lin Lei, and the yellowish-brown light covered the ground beneath his feet.

  Earth-based magic - Gravity technique.

  Lin Lei sprang up as a whole, and then immediately turned upside down, standing on his hands. Then, each of his hands was supported by only one finger. With the support of one finger from each hand, under the cover of gravity, Lin Lei began to constantly bend and straighten his arms.

  "One, two..."

  Lin Lei silently counted, and every time he reached one thousand, Lin Lei would switch to another finger.

  A warrior's training, the most important thing is the body. The stronger the body, the more aura it can withstand. Only in this way can we improve faster! Even for dragon-blooded warriors, regular physical exercise is still necessary.

  "Really?"

  After practicing for about half an hour, Lin Lei returned to his upright state. He coldly watched the lovely maid who had just entered the Spring Water Garden, carrying a tray with tea and fruit on it.

  "Ah, Master Lin, this is tea and fruit." The maid spoke with some stuttering under Lin Lei's gaze.

  "Who let you in?" Lin Lei said coldly.

  The maid was taken aback and stuttered: "Sir, I-I was worried that you were thirsty."

  "Thirsty?" Lin Lei looked at her with an expressionless face.

  "Come in!" Lin Lei shouted.

  At that moment, four burly warriors rushed in from outside the Spring Garden. These four burly warriors were all from the Holy See of Light, and the Holy See of Light had even dispatched a hundred-man knight squad specifically to be responsible for Lin Lei's safety.

  "Spare my life." The maid was so frightened that she immediately knelt down.

  On the Yulan continent, the status of nobles is much higher than that of ordinary people. Especially those great nobles, who can even kill ordinary people at will. Lin Lei, not to mention King Fen Lei, didn't need to use his identity to suppress him, Lin Lei was undoubtedly one of the top great nobles in the Kingdom of Fen Lei.

  Lin Lei glanced at the maid and said coldly, "Remember, from now on, when I'm in the Spring Water Garden, no one is allowed to enter. Anyone who comes in will be punished with 20 military sticks."

  "Twenty army clubs?" The maid's face suddenly turned pale.

  That military club is extremely heavy, and a strong warrior can be beaten by twenty clubs for ten days or half a month without moving, while a weak woman may even be beaten to death.

  "Spare his life, spare his life." The maid begged urgently.

  Lin Lei continued: "Today is your first offense, so I'll punish you with twenty strokes of the rattan whip. If you offend again next time, I will absolutely not show any mercy."

  "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The maid let out a sigh of relief in her heart.

  As for the pain, the pain of being flogged with a rattan cane on the body may even exceed that of a military stick, but the rattan cane only hurts the skin and flesh, without harming the internal bones, five organs, and six viscera. It's just painful but won't be fatal.

  "Take him away!" Lin Lei shouted at the four warriors.

  "Yes, Lord Lin Lei." Then the four warriors had two of them come forward and directly carried away the maid, as for the tray with tea and fruit, it was placed on the ground to one side.

  Lin Lei turned around and went back onto the grass.

  The divine sword 'Purple Blood' is one of Lin Lei's hidden weapons. Although when using it, Lin Lei generally keeps it in a straight state. However, Lin Lei occasionally also uses its curved and elusive form, Lin Lei does not want the secret of the divine sword 'Purple Blood' to be known by outsiders.

  Train by yourself, naturally don't let others watch.

  Lin Lei's right hand touched his waist, and in an instant, a cold, stern purple light flashed, and a very thin purple long sword appeared in Lin Lei's hand.

  "Whoosh!"

  In the Spring Water Garden, a purple glow suddenly appeared, and Lin Lei himself was shuttling back and forth like a swimming dragon. The wind-assisted magic 'Extreme Speed' perfectly matched his own strength, making Lin Lei's movement speed not only fast but also extremely agile.

  Practicing "Dragon Blood Scripture", tempering the body. When relaxing, occasionally carve to enhance spiritual power, and also practice meditation in the hot spring pool water to temper spiritual power.

  Lin Lei's cultivation is infused into every moment of his life.

  Lin Lei had not found the best opportunity to deal with Paderson, after all, Paderson and Lin Lei were not close friends. If Lin Lei went directly to Paderson's residence or if Paderson came to Lin Lei's residence, once Lin Lei killed Paderson, it was likely that Clyde would find out within half a day.

  Even if Lin Lei's potential is great, once he kills Clyde's younger brother, Clyde will absolutely not show mercy.

  In the living room, Lin Lei was elegantly having lunch.

  After lunch, Lin Lei thought of Patterson again: "This Patterson has not come to see me for several days. It seems that I have to take the initiative myself." Lin Lei decided not to wait any longer and set off directly to Patterson's home.

  "Sir." A servant outside quickly ran over, "Sir, Cardinal Gillmer of the Holy See of Light has arrived."

  "Jillmer?"

  Lin Lei's figure paused for a moment, and then he immediately walked towards the door to personally welcome.

  Inside the living room.

  "Lin Lei, I've heard that your days are spent in leisure, either cultivating or soaking in hot springs, and occasionally carving stone sculptures. Such a life is truly enviable." Gillmer said with a hearty laugh to Lin Lei.

  Lin Lei also nodded and smiled.

  "But Lin Lei," Jill murmured seriously, "I'm reminding you that although your stone carvings are valuable, what truly determines a person's status is still their power! Take the Debus family not far from here for example. The Debus family has money, but in terms of status, they're still inferior to you."

  Lin Lei also understood this truth in her heart.

  Money is indeed useful.

  But when one's strength reaches an extremely high level, the use of money weakens. For example, for a strong person in the Holy Land, money is just an external object. This is also why the Dao Sen Chamber of Commerce was even willing to give Lin Lei 100 million gold coins directly at first, letting Lin Lei join the Dao Sen Chamber of Commerce.

  For these merchant guilds, a super strongman is too important.

  "Thank you for reminding me, Mr. Gilmer." Lin Lei said with a smile.

  Lin Lei didn't say that this stone carving was the real reason he could reach level 7 in both systems of magic at the age of seventeen.

  "I'm just saying, after all, you also need to rest." Gilmer glanced at the white-robed priest behind him, and the white-robed priest immediately opened the package on his back. After opening this silver-white package, there was a stone box inside.

  The white-robed figure placed this stone box between Lin Lei and Gilmer.

  "Lord Gilmer, what is this?" Lin Lei already had some guesses in his mind.

  Jill smiled and said: "Lin Lei, you open it yourself."

  Lin Lei slowly opened the stone box, lifted the lid, and inside the box were two silk books, both of which were dark gold in color.

  "What?" Lin Lei looked at Gilmer.

  "Lin Lei, didn't I say that I would give you the spellbooks of earth and wind magic? These two are it." Gilmer said with a smile.

  Lin Lei's heart couldn't help but feel a thrill of joy.

  Magic spells and the complex methods of casting magic are indeed very important. Otherwise, even if one's spiritual power and magical power have increased, they will still be unable to cast a more powerful spell.

  Lin Lei immediately took out a book and opened it.

  "Wind System!" Lin Lei flipped to the first page, and the first page was a brief description of this book. After that, the next page began to describe the magic of the wind system, one by one. This book described it very carefully, every detail of each spell's casting was clearly stated.

  Lin Lei directly flipped through to the advanced magic after level seven.

  One by one, the ingenious and powerful magic left Lin Lei in awe. Lin Lei couldn't help but admit that the predecessor who invented this magic was indeed a genius.

  "9th-level magic - Wind Shadow Technique, the principle is to combine auxiliary magic 'Extreme Speed' and 'Wings of the Wind', with an effect as peculiar as angel wings, fast speed, agile movement. Can be called perfect..." Looking at the description of 'Wind Shadow Technique' from shallow to deep, Lin Lei's heart was even more delighted.

  A brand new magical world has unfolded before one's eyes.

  If in the future, I were to possess both the Earth and Wind elements, and then use the power of the Dragon Blood Warrior... The strength of that attack is unimaginable.

  Gillmer saw Lin Lei completely infatuated with the magic book and did not make a sound, quietly leaving alone first.

  In the garden of springs.

  Lin Lei sat cross-legged on the grass, his entire skeletal and muscular system trembling. The special power of the Earth Dragon Blood Warrior's bloodline was constantly merging into every part of Lin Lei's body, causing his body to continuously rise at a perceptible rate.

  "Boss, Paderson is coming tonight, are you still in the mood to practice?" Bebe whispered beside Lin Lei.

  Lin Lei opened his eyes and looked at BeiBei beside him.

  "How's your mood?"

  Lin Lei was bitter in his heart, and Patterson had someone notify him this morning that he would come to visit Lin Lei alone tonight. As the Minister of Finance, Patterson naturally had to maintain good relations with some of the nobles. He had been busy dealing with the smuggling of water jade mine stones these past few days and hadn't had time to visit Lin Lei.

  "I'm not in the mood, but I have to cultivate. Only when my strength is stronger will I be more confident." Lin Lei said quietly in his heart.

  According to one's own plan.

  Within six months, kill Pedersen and get information about the person behind Pedersen.

  After finding out the mastermind behind Patterson, he wants to find out about his mother before next year's Father's Day. Or kill the mastermind who was behind Patterson.

  "Hehe~~"

  "Ah!" Outside the Spring Water Garden, a sudden mournful cry rang out.

  Lin Lei's body leaped and landed on the top of the artificial hill in the Spring Water Garden. Standing at the summit, Lin Lei clearly saw that more than a dozen warriors guarding the outside of the Spring Water Garden had begun to rot all over their bodies, constantly letting out miserable cries as fresh blood flowed everywhere.

  At the same time, a thick black fog was rapidly spreading in all directions towards the "Spring Water Garden", and wherever the black fog passed, whether it was human or animal, their bodies would corrode and die.

  Lin Lei looked up at the sky.

  The sky above was also covered with a thick black fog, and the surrounding black fog also spread rapidly from all sides.

  "There is someone."

  Lin Lei even felt that there were several black figures quietly and quickly rushing towards him in the fog.

  At this moment, Lin Lei has nowhere to escape!

  "Cheers!"

  Lin Lei jumped down from the fake hill at high speed, as if he were a fish, and directly plunged into the water pool.
