"Go in!"
The cold-faced martial artist attempted to kick Ling Xiao into the stone chamber, but didn’t expect Ling Xiao to easily evade his kick. Instead, due to the force he applied, he stumbled and fell into the chamber himself.
Fortunately, there were no hidden traps or secret weapons inside the stone chamber, and the cold-faced martial artist didn’t encounter any mishaps.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you for scouting the way for ."
He stepped forward and walked in.
"He’s a cunning fellow and not easy to deal with!"
Watching Ling Xiao’s retreating figure, Linglong Fairy bit her red lips. She swore that she must not let Ling Xiao leave this place alive, otherwise, it would beco difficult to kill him later on.
This kid was too cunning, slippery like an eel.
The stone chamber was quite spacious, and even accommodating dozens of people would not feel crowded.
However, the furnishings here were very simple: there was only an ice bed made of thousand-year cold ice that still emitted a chill, a stone table, a few stone stools, and so shelves carved into the cave walls, holding so books that had mostly rotted away.
On the ice bed sat an elder whose body had not decomposed, most likely thanks to the bed, and even his complexion still looked a bit rosy.
When the three people first saw the corpse, they thought the other party was alive and were truly startled.
Given that this ancient martial artist’s tomb was so ingeniously designed, the owner of this body must have reached the Heavenly Man Realm. If he were really alive, then all of them would be dood today.
In a place far from the ice bed, a dicine garden was unexpectedly set up, with stream water flowing down from the stalactites and dripping onto the garden.
The sunlight released from the light-absorbing array set up here was also sufficient for the survival of these dicinal herbs.
Ling Xiao’s attention was completely captivated by the dicine garden, while Linglong Fairy and the cold-faced martial artist kept their gaze fixed on the chests next to the ice bed.
The chests were locked, but due to the passage of ti, the locks were broken and could be easily opened.
Ling Xiao had no interest in the chests because he had already seen through to what was inside them.
It was nothing more than gold and silver.
He didn’t value such things very much anymore.
On the other hand, he was extrely surprised by the dicinal herbs in the garden.
"Ginseng Fruit, Thousand Leaves Grass, Dragon Tail Ginseng, Suru Fruit..."
Each one was a rare and invaluable dicinal herb, and judging by their age, so had been growing for tens of thousands of years and even possessed spirituality.
Of course, there were also those that were only a few hundred or a thousand years old—those were the new shoots that sprouted later.
"Yuan Qi Fruit!"
Ling Xiao suddenly discovered another main ingredient needed for refining the Nine Dragons Refining Yuan Pill — the Yuan Qi Fruit — in this dicine garden.
And there was more than one Yuan Qi Fruit.
On that not-so-tall tree, thirteen Yuan Qi Fruits had grown, so hundreds, so thousands, and even so tens of thousands of years old.
It seed they hadn’t all grown at the sa ti, but they were definitely Yuan Qi Fruits without a doubt.
The tree of the Yuan Qi Fruit didn’t look extraordinary, but the fruits themselves exuded a strong vital force, indicating they were filled with imnse, robust energy.
Each fruit was enveloped in a mysterious white light, clearly not sothing ordinary.
Neither Nine Dragons Grass nor Yuan Qi Fruit were easy to obtain; Ling Xiao had asked Elder Yang to inquire many tis while in the Sect, and still couldn’t find these two ingredients.
It was unexpected that this trip would yield such an unexpected fortune, obtaining both Nine Dragons Grass and Yuan Qi Fruit. It seed that going out to gain experience was the right and tily choice; staying within the Sect would have never afforded such an opportunity.
An unexpected fortune always brings greater joy.
"Cold-face, kill him!"
Suddenly, a voice interrupted Ling Xiao’s joy.
Then, a chill swept over him from behind.
Without further ado, Ling Xiao didn’t bother to check what dicinal herbs were in the garden; he transplanted everything into the Mountain and River World, planting them alongside the Golden Snow Lotus he already had there.
"Wait a minute!"
Seeing Ling Xiao taking away the dicine garden, Linglong Fairy imdiately beca anxious.
Though she was not an Alchemist, she recognized so of the herbs in the dicine garden because Sanders Castle dealt in dicinal materials.
She was also well aware that these herbs were far more valuable than any amount of Gold and Silver.
The Cold-faced Martial Artist quickly retracted his attack, looking at Linglong Fairy with confusion.
"Mr. Ling, hand over that dicine garden, and I might spare your life!"
Linglong Fairy didn’t bother to explain, but her demand for Ling Xiao to hand it over was explanation enough.
The Cold-faced Martial Artist suddenly realized why that Ling fellow had headed straight for the dicine garden upon entering—it was because he had discovered valuable treasure.
"Heh, what if I say no?"
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "I’m truly sorry, Linglong Fairy, but I need these herbs to concoct a certain pill, so I’ll forgo the Gold and Silver over there. You all can take it as you please."
"You’d better think this through. If you don’t hand over the dicine garden, you won’t be leaving here alive today!"
Linglong Fairy’s brows furrowed at his words.
Although she was confident she could kill Ling Xiao, for so reason, she felt sothing was amiss. Why was this young man so bold and relaxed?
It was as if he wasn’t afraid of her silencing him at all.
"Heh, if I want to leave this place, none of you can stop ."
Ling Xiao said with a smile, "If you don’t believe , we can give it a try!"
"It seems you really won’t shed a tear until you see the coffin, Fairy. There’s no need to waste words on him. Capture him alive, and with our thods, we’ll definitely make him comply."
The Cold-faced Martial Artist had far less patience than Linglong Fairy, and he had long wanted to kill Ling Xiao.
The mont Linglong Fairy showed appreciation for Ling Xiao, he had this idea.
And when he was blinded by the Ghost Fireflies in the cave earlier, his murderous intent intensified!
"Oh, are you sure you don’t want to check what’s inside that predecessor’s Storage Ring?"
Ling Xiao suddenly said with a smile, "Usually, the most valuable treasures are kept inside the Storage Ring. If you don’t want it, then why not let have it?"
Reminded by him, Linglong Fairy and the Cold-faced Martial Artist suddenly realized they almost overlooked the most crucial item.
Quickly turning their heads to look back at the corpse of the ancient Martial Artist, indeed, the elder’s hand wore a very delicate Storage Ring.
They weren’t afraid of Ling Xiao escaping, for there were two Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer Peak Martial Artists waiting outside the door.
"You, co here!"
Linglong Fairy called out.
"What, you’re afraid to touch the predecessor’s corpse and want to do it?"
Ling Xiao said with disdain.
"I can give up the dicine garden, but as long as you take off that Storage Ring and give it to us, we will let you go."
Linglong Fairy gritted her teeth and said.
