Just as Wang Yan and the others were about to leave, Lin Yi called out to them.
Chapter 81 The beauty departs, but returns laden with spoils! [Please continue reading]
"What else do you want?" Wang Yan stopped in his tracks, his eyes blazing with anger as he looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi said calmly, "I just retrieved my Great Luo Golden Spear. I haven't settled the score with you for slandering me yet. How about this, you leave your Qiankun Bag as compensation for my emotional distress."
Wang Yan's murderous intent was almost impossible to conceal: "Are you sure you want to be an enemy of our Wang clan?"
"Aren't we already enemies? You're not telling me you're going to let this go so easily, are you?" Lin Yi said with a mocking smile.
"If you don't hand over the Qiankun Bag willingly, I'll have no choice but to send the talisman puppet to make a move!"
"Here you go!" Wang Yan hurled the Qiankun bag at Lin Yi, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "Don't think you can run rampant just because you have a talisman puppet! We'll see!"
After saying that, Wang Yan immediately used his movement technique to its limit and rushed out of the stone hall. He was worried that if he didn't leave, Lin Yi would come up with some new tricks.
Seeing that Wang Yan had handed over his Qiankun bag, the other members of the Wang clan could only obediently hand over their Qiankun bags as well, and then slunk away from the stone hall.
Those remaining inside the stone hall exchanged bewildered glances upon witnessing this scene.
"Qingzhu, let's go!"
Lin Yi put the Great Luo Golden Spear and the high-grade talisman puppet into his Qiankun Ring, and then put away all the Qiankun Bags he had stolen. He nodded to Lin Ke'er and the others, and then leaped onto Xiao Yan's tiger back and sped away from the stone hall.
Ling Qingzhu's eyes flickered slightly, and she simply nodded to Qin Shi before quickly leaving the stone hall.
After a brief silence, the stone hall erupted in uproar as Lin Yi and Ling Qingzhu walked away.
"I never expected that this trip to the ancient tomb would turn out to be such a spectacular show!"
"That Lin Yi actually repelled Lin Langtian and even robbed the Wang clan members. He's really impressive!"
"Lin Yi's success is entirely due to that talisman puppet. I really envy his good fortune in obtaining such a powerful talisman puppet!"
"Even if I gave you a talisman puppet, would you dare to confront both the Lin clan and the Wang clan at the same time?"
"..."
"I never expected that such a person would emerge from the division of the Lin clan. How interesting," Qin Shi murmured, gently fanning himself with his feather fan, a smile playing on his lips. He then turned and left.
Afterwards, Lin Ke'er and the others also left the stone hall with complicated expressions.
……
In the Tianyan Mountains, a majestic mountain peak, Lin Yi, riding on Xiao Yan's back, sped over from afar and came to a steady stop atop the peak.
The mountain wind was biting. Lin Yi gazed at the elegant figure standing on the edge of the cliff not far away. A gentle breeze blew, and her black hair fluttered, giving her a transcendent air as if she were about to break through the sky.
"Ahem..." Lin Yi jumped off Xiao Yan's back, cupped his hands towards Ling Qingzhu, and said, "Miss Qingzhu, I did not mean to offend you in the Stone Hall, but I was forced by the circumstances..."
"boom!"
Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, Ling Qingzhu's beautiful figure flew towards him, her slender hand moving with lightning speed to imprint on his chest.
Lin Yi's expression changed slightly, and his Yuan Power surged out, forming a Yuan Power protection on the surface of his chest.
Nevertheless, Lin Yi still felt a burning pain in his chest, and his body rapidly retreated backward.
"Don't force me to kill you!" Ling Qingzhu did not continue to pursue, her clear eyes fixed on Lin Yi, and she spoke in a cold voice.
"The matter of the ancient tomb is never to be mentioned again. It must remain buried in your heart forever. Do not let a single word of it out. You yourself must even pretend that it never happened!"
After the previous incident, once she calmed down, Ling Qingzhu, for some reason, no longer harbored any murderous intent towards Lin Yi.
"I will not mention the matter of the tomb to anyone. But I cannot pretend it never happened!"
Lin Yi stared intently into Ling Qingzhu's cool eyes, his voice low and serious.
Upon hearing this, Ling Qingzhu's eyes sharpened instantly. She raised her hand and struck out at Lin Yi with her palm once more.
Lin Yi frantically channeled his inner energy, forming another Xuanwu phantom in front of him.
"Oh!"
With a loud bang, the Xuanwu phantom was instantly blasted apart. Just as Ling Qingzhu's delicate hand was about to land on Lin Yi's chest, it shifted slightly and struck his shoulder instead.
"Cough..." Lin Yi and Ling Qingzhu separated, and Lin Yi coughed up a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, but his tone remained firm.
"Perhaps I am weak now, and there is a huge gap between me and you in terms of both strength and status, but I will work hard, and one day I will stand shoulder to shoulder with you!"
"Let's talk about it when you're qualified to participate in the Hundred Dynasties War!"
Ling Qingzhu glanced at Lin Yi with her clear eyes, then turned gracefully and walked away.
"If I can emerge victorious from the war of a hundred dynasties, will I be qualified?"
Lin Yi suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the peerless beauty stepping onto the blue lotus, and said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Ling Qingzhu paused slightly. She knew that the qualifications Lin Yi mentioned referred to were not only those related to the Hundred Dynasties War.
After a long silence, Ling Qingzhu finally said calmly, "It's barely enough, but I don't think you can go that far. This is not a dismissive attitude, but a reality that will not change whether you accept it or not."
Lin Yi stared at the beautiful figure that seemed to embody the essence of heaven and earth, and solemnly said:
"That day will come! When that day comes, I will stand before you again and tell you, every woman I've slept with is mine!"
The boy's firm, even audacious, words made the beautiful figure freeze for a moment. One could imagine what a sight that exquisite face beneath the thin veil must be like at that moment.
"boom!"
As expected, Lin Yi's last words were met with a palm print of cyan light that slammed into his chest, slamming him into a boulder. Blood once again spilled from the corner of his mouth.
However, Lin Yi didn't care about this pain and kept his eyes firmly fixed on Ling Qingzhu's figure.
"Such absurd and foolish talk will only be used once, until things truly reach the point you're describing. Otherwise, the consequences will be far more severe than this one slap can mitigate. I've already shown you considerable mercy; don't force me to kill you!"
The peerless beauty on the blue lotus tilted her head slightly, gazing at the young man who was almost embedded in the boulder, yet whose gaze remained firm and ardent. A faint ripple finally appeared in her clear eyes.
"Lin Yi, I hope that next time we meet, you won't be so weak. True strength doesn't come from empty words."
A faint sound echoed around the mountaintop, and the light of the blue lotus surged. Then, under Lin Yi's gaze, it transformed into a streak of blue light, soaring into the sky and disappearing completely within a few breaths.
Watching the blue light disappear into the horizon, Lin Yi sighed. His inner energy surged, and he leaped out of the rock. After a short while of circulating his energy to recover, he was fine.
"Go back and make the arrangements, then it'll be time to start the next leg of the journey. If I want to win the heart of my beloved, I obviously can't do it without putting in some effort..."
Looking in the direction Ling Qingzhu had left, Lin Yi muttered to himself, then leaped onto Xiao Yan's back, patted Xiao Yan's head, and Xiao Yan immediately let out a low roar, transforming into a fiery red shadow and rushing away along the way they had come!
Chapter 82 A Bountiful Harvest: Settling the Lin Family! [Please Read On]
On the way back to Yan City, Lin Yi also took stock of his gains this time.
Wang Yan's Qiankun Bag contained approximately 20,000 Pure Yuan Pills, some rare metals, and a seventh-grade martial art, the Golden Platform Demon-Suppressing Palm.
In addition, Wang Yan also contributed a high-level spiritual treasure, the Great Luo Golden Spear!
Lin Langtian's Qiankun bag contained over 60,000 Pure Yuan Pills, five Grade 7 spiritual herbs, and some rare metals.
The most precious item is an ancient book that records a ninth-grade martial art, the Shattering Demon Monument Palm!
The various supplies in the Qiankun bags of the other members of the Wang clan could be worth tens of thousands of Yang Yuan Pills, which they could keep for the family to use after returning home.
Besides these, the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd that Lin Yi obtained, as well as the Heavenly Scale Halberd Technique given to him by the tomb's owner, are also quite precious.
Of course, the biggest gain was the extraordinary friendship he formed with Ling Qingzhu and his advancement to the Creation Realm.
"This trip was truly worthwhile!"
Lin Yi sat on Xiao Yan's tiger back, quickly traversing through the mountains and forests, feeling extremely happy.
"You're lucky. Some of the rare metals in Lin Langtian and Wang Yan's Qiankun bags are exactly the materials needed to temper the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd," Little Marten said with a smile, jumping onto Lin Yi's shoulder again.
Lin Yi shrugged slightly. "If it weren't for the fact that the Heavenly Scale Ancient Halberd has a matching martial art, it would be better to just use the Great Luo Golden Spear. It seems that it will take a lot of effort to upgrade it to a high-level spiritual treasure."
"Have you forgotten how envious you were of other people's low-level spiritual treasures back then?" Little Marten rolled her eyes and said.
Lin Yi smiled and didn't argue with the little sable.
……
When Lin Yi returned to the Lin family in Qingyang Town, it was already evening of the next day.
Lin Zhentian, Lin Xiao, and the others were overjoyed to see Lin Yi return safely.
After dinner, Lin Yi took out a medium-sized Qiankun bag and handed it to Lin Xiao.
"Didn't you give me the Qiankun Bag before?" Lin Xiao glanced at Lin Yi and said.
Lin Yi smiled and said, "This is part of what I got in the ancient tomb. I'm giving it to Father to handle."
He didn't give the Qiankun bag to Wang Yan or Lin Langtian; that would have been too conspicuous.
Lin Xiao took the Qiankun bag, examined it, and his eyes widened immediately. "So many things, is this really only a portion?"
Qingtan asked curiously, "Dad, what did Brother Lin Yi give you that surprised you so much?"
Lin Xiao exclaimed in amazement, "In the Qiankun Bag alone, there are tens of thousands of Yang Yuan Pills, as well as some other precious materials. All of them together are probably worth more than 100,000 Yang Yuan Pills."
"Wow, so much! Our family is rich! Brother Lin Yi is amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Qingtan exclaimed with delight.
Lin Dong, standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed, quite shocked. The total harvest the Lin family had made from mining the Yang Yuan Stone vein over the past two years was probably just a fraction of what they had earned.
"Oh, right, I also got two talisman puppets this time. I'll keep one for Father to use for self-defense." After a pause, Lin Yi took out a Qiankun bag and handed it to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao took the Qiankun bag and discovered that in addition to a puppet of unknown material, there was a mountain of Pure Yuan Pills inside. He was immediately stunned.
Lin Xiao roughly counted that there were about 20,000 Pure Yuan Pills, which were worth two million Yang Yuan Pills!
Even the combined wealth of the entire Lin family cannot compare to it.
"Big brother, what is a talisman puppet?" Lin Dong asked curiously when he heard the words "talisman puppet".
Immediately, Lin Yi introduced the talisman puppet to Lin Xiao and his wife, as well as Lin Dong and his sister.
"The talisman puppet I gave to my father is a mid-level talisman puppet, with strength comparable to the Creation Realm," Lin Yi concluded. "However, it has a drawback: each time a mid-level talisman puppet launches an attack, it requires at least two thousand Pure Yuan Pills."
"If so many Pure Yuan Pills are needed, how can we use them?" Lin Dong asked with a regretful expression.
Lin Xiao also understood why Lin Yi had prepared so many Pure Yuan Pills for him.
"If you give me all of this, what will you do with it?" Lin Xiao pondered for a moment before asking.
