New Rewards

In the room, on the bed, Zhong Qing lifted the long robe from the woman's injured shoulder and treated her wound.

As he was wiping the blood from her body with a towel, he heard a soft moan, and the woman slowly opened her eyes.

Then, she saw Zhong Qing, who was tending to her.

When she saw that a corner of her clothes had been lifted, revealing her snow-white skin, her eyes widened.

Without a word, she slapped him.

Zhong Qing, who had been secretly marveling at the efficacy of his Medicinal Pill upon seeing the woman awaken, was suddenly attacked.

He grabbed the woman's wrist and frowned, asking, "Are you sick? I saved your life, and this is how you treat your savior?"

The woman said angrily, "You lecherous scoundrel! Even if you saved me, it's no reason to take off my clothes!"

Zhong Qing was enraged.

"Go to hell!"

He threw the woman back onto the bed and called Lin Feng, who was meditating in the next room.

"Disciple, throw this woman out for me. Remember, throw her back to where you found her."

"Understood, Master!"

Although Lin Feng hadn't witnessed the incident, he roughly guessed what had happened.

He also secretly felt that this woman was somewhat ungrateful.

However, before he could act, the woman instantly panicked when she heard that she was to be thrown into the Hengduan Mountain Range.

That place was quite dangerous; if she were at her peak, she naturally wouldn't care.

But in her current state, returning would definitely be a near-death experience.

Seeing Lin Feng stride forward, about to take her away, she was angry, indignant, and anxious.

She thought, what kind of people are these?

Don't they know how to cherish and protect women at all?

Finally, in desperation, she could only reveal her identity.

"I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was alienation."

"Alright, no more pretending, I'm laying my cards on the table."

"I am the Empress of the Dongyang Empire in the Western Regions!"

"Now, I'm requisitioning this territory."

"I have the right to order you to provide me with a safe residence."

"As long as this Empress can successfully overcome this calamity, in the future, I will certainly reward you."

"In your small place, Wang-level Divine Weapons and Cultivation Techniques are probably extraordinary things, aren't they?"

"As long as this Empress can return to the Dongyang Empire, Wang-level Cultivation Techniques and Divine Weapons, and even higher-level items, can be chosen by you at will."

She looked at Zhong Qing and Lin Feng with a condescending attitude.

In her opinion, as long as she revealed her identity, the two would be suspicious, and then she would take out something to prove her identity, and the two would surely come kneeling to her like dogs.

However, the situation was completely different from what she had expected.

Zhong Qing's face was terrifyingly dark.

He thought, where did this idiot come from?

"Disciple, quickly throw her out for me!"

He was annoyed just looking at this woman now.

The latter, without a word, picked up the woman and left.

"Let go of this Empress!"

"This Empress is the ruler of the Dongyang Empire! How dare you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid that this Empress will exterminate your entire clan?"

The woman struggled violently.

However, Lin Feng ignored her completely.

He just looked at her with an expression that said, 'What an idiot.'

Not to mention whether what the other party said was true.

Even if she really was an Empress, so what?

His Master was an Immortal Emperor!

In front of his Master, if it was a Dragon, it had to coil; if it was a Tiger, it had to lie down.

Even if a True God descended, he would have to humble himself before the Immortal Emperor.

Then, he carried the woman all the way back to the Hengduan Mountain Range.

Finally, he threw her onto the crooked neck tree on the cliff.

Then, he left without looking back.

"You come back! This Empress commands you to come back!"

The woman screamed hoarsely from the tree.

However, Lin Feng didn't pay her any mind; in an instant, he flew out of sight.

A gust of mountain wind blew, and the small tree swayed precariously, making the woman shiver in the cold wind.

Hearing the occasional roars of Yao Beasts from the mountain forest, her body trembled slightly.

She once again felt what it was like to be trapped with no way out.

For a moment, endless regret sprouted in her heart.

If she had endured for a moment, this wouldn't be the outcome now, would it?

Along with regret, an endless hatred was also growing.

Who was she?

The ruler of the Dongyang Empire, an existence above tens of thousands of people.

No one had ever dared to treat her like this.

...

The matter with the woman was quickly forgotten by Zhong Qing.

Or rather, he no longer had the mind to focus on the woman.

Simply because his cultivation had finally Broken Through again.

He Broke Through just in the time it took to drink a cup of tea.

He opened his personal attribute panel!

[Host: Zhong Qing]

[Cultivation: Sanyin Realm!]

[Disciple: Lin Feng, Star Profound Realm Early Stage, Hundredfold Amplification active.]

[Disciple: Su Ye, Chen Xuan Realm Great Perfection, Hundredfold Amplification active.]

[Activated Bonds: Scrappy Bond 2/2, more Bonds to be developed.]

[Acquired Physiques: None.]

[Acquired Special Skills: Old Six Halo, Heavenly Eye, Same-Level Crushing, Own Small World.]

Lin Feng had already Broken Through to the Star Profound Realm a month ago.

Little Su Ye had also reached the Chen Xuan Realm Perfection.

After ten thousand times the return, the two of them cultivated for several months, finally pushing his cultivation from the Tianxuan Realm to the Sanyin Realm.

In the small courtyard, Zhong Qing sat on a stone stool, gently clenching his fist, feeling an unprecedented power.

This power made him feel as if he could crush a mountain with a casual flick of his hand.

The Breakthrough in cultivation also came with System rewards.

[Congratulations, Host, for Breaking Through to the Sanyin Realm! Reward: One Ancient Exotic Beast Card!]

[Ancient Exotic Beast Card: Can summon an Ancient Exotic Beast, requires the Host to actively subdue it!]

What Zhong Qing hadn't expected was that this time, the System had given him an extra reward for his cultivation Breakthrough.

He retrieved the Ancient Exotic Beast Card from the System space.

It was a gray card, palm-sized.

It had patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, and earth etched upon it.

It gave off an ancient and wild Aura.

Above the mountains and earth, there were also many active figures of exotic beasts.

There was a Heavenly Wolf howling at the moon, as if it wanted to devour the sun, moon, and stars.

There was a Golden-winged Great Peng spreading its wings and soaring high, as if to strike the Nine Heavens.

There were also terrifying creatures like Azure Dragons, Qilins, and Vermilion Birds appearing.

On the small card, it seemed as if a world was imprinted.

Upon closer inspection, it even gave a feeling of coming alive.

"System, is this Ancient Exotic Beast Card summoned at will, or randomly summoned?"

[Random Summon!]

[The strength of the summoned Exotic Beast will not exceed the Host's Rank!]

This made Zhong Qing a little disappointed.

If he could specify the summon, his first choice would naturally be the Azure Dragon.

After all, as a Yanhuang person in his previous life, who could resist the temptation of an Azure Dragon?

However, if an Azure Dragon were truly summoned, it would be hard to say who would subdue whom.

The second restriction could also be considered a form of protection from the System for him.

Without much hesitation, Zhong Qing directly threw the summoning card into the air.

As a flash of light passed, the summoning card transformed into a black hole!

Around the black hole, nebulae and lightning were densely packed, showing its profoundness, darkness, ancientness, and mystery.

Soon, a terrifying Aura emanated from within the black hole.

The Exotic Beast summoned by the summoning card also revealed a corner of its true appearance.

Zhong Qing raised an eyebrow.

"It's actually it!"

...
