Thick-Skinned Evil Genius - Thick-Skinned Evil Genius, #5

In a corner forgotten by the world, Lin Ke had lived deep within Jiuyang Mountain since he was young, isolated from society. His master, Old Man Lin, was a peculiar figure who claimed to be a Taoist adept. Aside from alchemy, he was almost devoid of any other skills. Under Old Man Lin's guidance, Lin Ke became a mediocre alchemist. Finally, by a stroke of luck, Lin Ke embarked on a journey to explore the martial world.
Just as Lin Ke was preparing to continue his adventure, an unexpected piece of news disrupted his plans. It turned out that a grand audition was about to be held in the martial world, aimed at selecting talents from among the newcomers to join the various sects. For Lin Ke, this was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity. He decided to participate in the audition, hoping to use this chance to truly step into the martial world and begin his legendary journey.  ---  Upon hearing the generous benefits, Fengling City hesitated for a moment and finally made up his mind, "At most, I will incur some losses and mobilize the Mo Family brothers here to prepare some escape tools and the most favorable routes.
This should be enough. I can't do any more than this."
