73: Collect all the precious medicines, the reason for the killing

Ao Ling霜 naturally saw how valuable these Spirit Medicine were, and for a moment, she felt a bit embarrassed. She raised her jade hand to gently brush her hair and parted her red lips, saying, "You little worm are quite sincere. You must have collected so many medicinal ingredients for many years, right?"

You Ning chuckled apologetically, "It indeed took me a lot of effort, but as long as it satisfies Your Highness, these things are nothing."

He spoke nonchalantly, but his heart was bleeding.

These medicinal ingredients could be said to be half of his family's fortune. To give them away so easily, anyone would feel the pain.

"Alas, a Divine Beast is not someone anyone can encounter. This time, let's just consider it spending money to avert disaster. Perhaps I can gain Your Highness's favor, which would be a huge gain."

As he comforted himself this way, he couldn't help but start to anticipate.

Ao Ling霜 smiled and nodded, "Alright, since you are so thoughtful, I will forgive your previous transgressions."

After speaking, she turned her head and said, "Xiao Yuan, put all these medicinal ingredients away."

"Okay, Sister Shuang."

Lin Yuan immediately took out his Storage Pouch and quickly put the medicinal ingredients into the pouch.

Due to the excessive number of medicinal ingredients, several Storage Pouches were quickly filled, which made him feel distressed.

So many precious medicines were in front of him, yet he couldn't take them away, which was truly a pity.

Seeing this, Ao Ling霜 immediately reached out to the middle-aged man and said, "Do you have any extra Storage Spiritual Artifacts? Lend them to us first."

You Ning originally thought that since the other party's pouches were full, he could lose a little less, but he didn't expect her to ask him for more.

How can a person, no, how can a Yao be so shameless!

She is a Divine Beast, after all. Is it necessary to snatch the property of a small Yao like him?

Although he was very unwilling, he obediently took out several Storage Pouches and handed them to the other party, saying, "Princess, do you think these are enough?"

Lin Yuan couldn't help but ask, "It's a bit troublesome to put so many things in a Storage Pouch. Can't we just use a Space Ring directly?"

Even the lowest-grade Space Ring has at least a hundred cubic meters of volume, which is equivalent to dozens of Storage Pouches.

Ao Ling霜 explained, "A Space Ring has a Restriction inside and requires the owner's spiritual consciousness to open it. Therefore, even if you get one, others cannot store or retrieve items from it."

You Ning took out more than a dozen Space Rings from his Pregnant and said helplessly, "As Your Highness said, even if I get these rings, I cannot break the Restriction, and giving them to you would also be useless."

Seeing this, Lin Yuan was a bit surprised.

The rings in the other party's hands were clearly obtained from killing human Cultivators, and Space Rings are expensive, at least requiring the financial resources of a Core Formation Realm Cultivator to afford them.

It seems that at least a dozen Core Formation Realm powerhouses have died at the hands of this Yao.

As expected of a Yao Race powerhouse, his strength is truly terrifying.

"Alright, it was my ignorance."

Lin Yuan gave a self-deprecating smile, then, together with Ao Ling霜, put all the remaining medicinal ingredients into the Storage Pouches.

After doing all this, he stretched contentedly, feeling delighted, "Not bad, not bad. So many precious medicines are enough for us to exchange for a large amount of Yuanshi."

Ao Ling霜, however, said, "Exchanging them for Yuanshi would be too wasteful. For rare medicinal ingredients like these, bartering them can maximize their value, especially some of the main ingredients used in Alchemy, which are enough to make many high-level alchemists envious."

Lin Yuan suddenly realized, "Sister Shuang is wise. It was my short-sightedness, little brother."

Sister Shuang?

This mere child of the Meridians-Opening Realm actually calls the Princess 'Sister'?

What is their relationship?

This young man doesn't look like a Yao Race member, so how could he know the Dragon Clan Princess?

Questions constantly arose in his mind, but You Ning dared not speak, fearing that the other party would ask him for some other treasure.

Although he didn't ask, Ao Ling霜 could still perceive what he was thinking, so she proactively said, "This person is a companion I met by chance, and our relationship is quite deep. You should treat him as you would treat me, understand?"

You Ning nodded repeatedly, "Understood! Understood!"

Seeing this, Lin Yuan chuckled inwardly.

A majestic seventh-rank Yao Emperor, who wouldn't be terrified upon hearing his name?

Yet, at this moment, he was as humble as a servant.

Only a Divine Beast like Ao Ling霜 could make him so submissive.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel fortunate.

It's a good thing he had Sister Shuang's help, which saved him from many crises. When he becomes powerful in the future, he must repay her well.

"Your name is You Ning, right? Let me ask you, why do you harm the humans in the mountains?"

After warning the other party, Ao Ling霜 finally brought up the question that had puzzled her for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's ears perked up. He was also very curious as to why the other party would do this.

When this was mentioned, You Ning's eyes showed a look of disgust: "A hundred years ago, a Purple Profound Dao Fruit appeared in the Yunlan Mountains, right in my territory. It should have been mine, but that bitch from the Cloud Ripple Sect, relying on her powerful strength, forcibly took my Dao Fruit, causing me to remain at the sixth rank for a hundred years. Fortunately, I obtained another Opportunity and only then broke through to the seventh rank."

Lin Yuan frowned, "So, you are taking out your anger on other human Cultivators because of this?"

"How can this be called taking out anger? Which of those young competitors doesn't have the blood of Yao Beasts on their hands? As the saying goes, 'a life for a life,' they are just paying the price for their evil deeds."

"That's true, but those people are not the real culprits who took your Dao Fruit. Dying at your hands like this is somewhat like being caught in the crossfire."

"If they are caught in the crossfire, then do all the Yao Beasts in our Yunlan Mountains deserve to be killed by you?"

These words left Lin Yuan speechless.

Indeed, Yao Beasts are also living beings; they also want to live. Since humans dare to wantonly deprive them of their lives, they naturally should be prepared to be hunted by powerful Yao Race members.

Realizing that he had lost his composure a bit, You Ning quickly cupped his hands and said, "My apologies, Young Master. I was agitated just now, but I still want to say that none of them are innocent, and you don't need to stand up for them."

Lin Yuan waved his hand and said, "No matter, I just said it casually. I don't feel sorry for them. On the contrary, their deaths are a good thing for me, so I can get a higher ranking."

You Ning suddenly smiled, "Is Young Master talking about the ranking in the Hundred-City League?"

"Yes."

"Then I can congratulate you in advance on winning the championship."

"Ah? What do you mean by that?"

"Besides you, all the other contestants have already been killed by me."

"What!?"

Lin Yuan was instantly shocked!

He actually killed all the contestants?

This guy is too fierce!

You Ning explained, "Because the Qi here was concealed by a Formation, you were the last person I discovered. By the time I found you, those insignificant youngsters had already all died."

"This... I really have to thank you."

Lin Yuan's mouth twitched, and for a moment, he felt a surge of emotion.

He never imagined that he was still worrying about how to win the championship, and now the championship position was just handed to him. It truly is that fate is unpredictable and things are impermanent.
