62: Social skills

Locked onto by this aura, Qing Yang, already injured from battling the giant white python, didn't hesitate for a moment. With a flash of his wings, he turned and fled.

...

A day later, at the core of Ling Mountain.

As Yin Li, Qing Yang, Little Luan, and many other core members returned, all the higher-ups watched Xuan Ming, whose limbs were all broken, unsure of what to do.

Ever since following Qing Yang, Xuan Ming had always been diligent and honest, conscientiously completing everything Qing Yang arranged.

But looking at Xuan Ming's weak mid-sixth-tier aura at this moment, Qing Yang's eyes finally turned fierce. He directly said to Huang Shan and Little Luan beside him.

"Go, head to Qingshang Special District, borrow zhen crystal, or have them contact Qian Tong. In Xuan Ming's current condition, only these zhen crystal can potentially keep him alive."

Not far away, Little Luan and Huang Shan exchanged glances. They didn't quite understand Qing Yang's words, but in the end, they still turned and walked towards the outskirts of the Ling Mountain range.

On the way, Little Luan scratched her head with her wing and said, "Is Qing Yang saying to borrow zhen crystal? How do you borrow them? I've never borrowed anything in my life."

As soon as she said this, Huang Shan gave her a disdainful look.

"You're still too young. Just follow me. Among Humans, there's a saying called 'human relations and worldly wisdom'. Just watch me."

After saying this, Huang Shan suddenly began to accelerate, his seventh-tier pseudo-Divine Beast aura instantly spreading without restraint.

Seeing this scene, Little Luan also copied Huang Shan's appearance, her aura spreading as she flew towards Qingshang Special District.

Two super Exotic Beasts rapidly approached Qingshang Special District, causing the many higher-ups in Qingshang Special District who noticed this scene to instantly feel their scalps tingle, unsure of what to do.

But with the appearance of such powerful Fierce Beasts, the only thing the many higher-ups could do was leave it to fate.

As the Human higher-ups walked towards the city wall, the figures of Huang Shan and Little Luan in the distance also became clearer and clearer.

A few minutes later, when Huang Shan and Little Luan arrived outside Qingshang Special District, Little Luan spread her wings and instantly flew onto the city wall. She just quietly stared with her emerald green eyes, gazing at the many Humans.

In contrast, Huang Shan below the city, upon noticing the many higher-ups on the city wall, immediately grinned widely and spoke in human language.

"You Humans have a saying called 'human relations and worldly wisdom'. To cut a long story short, I need zhen crystal. Thirty thousand isn't too many, fifty thousand isn't too few. Or you can contact Qian Tong and have him return our zhen crystal."

Hearing that these two super Fierce Beasts had come for zhen crystal, the Human higher-ups in Qingshang Special District all breathed a sigh of relief.

But before the many Human higher-ups could speak, Little Luan also suddenly let out a domineering cry.

"Lì~"

The sound seemed to pierce everyone's eardrums, leaving the many Human higher-ups wondering what was wrong with this orange-red Fierce Beast.

Below the city, Huang Shan glanced at Little Luan, then explained, "It's saying, 'human relations', 'worldly wisdom'."

Qingshang Special District higher-ups: "???"

China's written language is vast and profound. 'Human relations and worldly wisdom' together have one meaning, but separated, they have another.

Clearly, Little Luan's unintentional words made the many Human higher-ups think she was threatening them.

After all, borrowing is 'human relations', not borrowing is 'worldly wisdom'. It was very reasonable.

At this moment, the higher-ups of Qingshang Special District exchanged glances one by one and immediately made a decision.

Borrow. Even if they had to sell everything they owned, they had to borrow.

But the problem was, Qingshang Special District had been ransacked by the Golden Roc before. Currently, among the Nine Special Zones, Qingshang Special District was considered the poorest.

Moreover, these zhen crystal were consumed daily by many Spirit User Organizations and battle pets. Even the landlord's family had no surplus grain left.

"How many zhen crystal do we still have?" the controller of Qingshang Special District asked the people behind him.

In such a time of 'human relations and worldly wisdom' (life and death), none of the families or consortiums dared to hide anything.

Everyone spoke up, one after another.

Finally, after the statistics were compiled, the controller of Qingshang Special District looked at Huang Shan below the city and spoke.

"Please wait for half an hour. We will present you with twenty-four thousand two hundred and eighty-five zhen crystal."

As soon as he said this, Huang Shan, relying on his many years of experience, knew that dealing with Humans required bargaining.

But since he was borrowing their zhen crystal, Huang Shan also felt embarrassed to say anything too excessive.

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Huang Shan spoke again.

"Over twenty-four thousand? If you can give me twenty-five thousand zhen crystal, that's 'human relations'. But if it's only over twenty-four thousand, that's 'worldly wisdom'. After all, it's 'human relations and worldly wisdom', I understand."

Qingshang Special District controller: "!!!"

Many Human higher-ups: "..."

Threat, a naked threat, leaving the many higher-ups completely speechless.

However, fortunately, these zhen crystal could still be gathered. After all, that tiger below the city was quite sensible and didn't ask for too much.

Half an hour later, after twenty-five thousand zhen crystal were brought out in three special boxes, Huang Shan turned and left.

As for Little Luan, she followed Huang Shan somewhat unhappily, crying out, "Seventh-tier, I must break through to the seventh-tier!

It could kill me with anxiety, but I just can't speak up. Am I that scary? What kind of look are they giving me? Aren't my beautiful emerald green eyes pretty?"

In the wilderness, Huang Shan ran towards Lingshan Forbidden Area, carrying the box in his mouth, while looking at the dozens of meters tall Little Luan in the sky and wordlessly whimpering.

"Pretty is pretty, but the problem is, don't get anxious! As soon as you get anxious, your eyes start turning red, and when your eyes glow with a blood-red light, let alone those Humans, even I get scared when I see it."

After the twenty-five thousand zhen crystal were delivered to the core of Ling Mountain, all the Fierce Beasts present nervously watched Xuan Ming.

At this moment, Qing Yang was seen using one claw to pry open the unconscious Xuan Ming's large mouth, while his other giant claw grabbed the zhen crystal and shoved them into his mouth.

After shoving all twenty-five thousand zhen crystal into Xuan Ming's mouth, Qing Yang finally let out a sigh of relief and looked at the spoils of this kill, which were piled up like small mountains around him, and said.

"Alright, whether Xuan Ming lives or dies now depends on his fate. This time, we ambushed the higher-tier Fierce Beasts from the Guling Mountain Range.

Although the number is small, they are all high-quality ones above the fifth-tier. Little Luan, you should devour this eighth-tier white python and try to see if you can break through to the seventh-tier.

Mao Qiu, Bu Bai, Blood Town, the three of you should also devour those sixth-tier and fifth-tier Fierce Beasts. Also, Mao Qiu, you figure out a way to contact Qian Tong and tell that guy to return our zhen crystal.

Didn't he say? It was a total of two hundred and twenty thousand zhen crystal. He only returned fifty thousand last time. There are still one hundred and seventy thousand left."

After arranging matters for his subordinates, Qing Yang walked towards Yin Li inside the Beast Sword Tomb.

Yin Li was injured. Facing that eighth-tier peak White Tiger, although Yin Li managed to escape by relying on his seventy-two illusory figures, at this moment, Yin Li was injured because he had fought head-on with the opponent.

On his entire chest, five deep claw marks that were visible to the bone were constantly bleeding.
