Chapter 516 - 516 515 Secretly Thrilled

516: Chapter 515: Secretly Thrilled 516: Chapter 515: Secretly Thrilled After that, he gradually slowed down and moved to the back of the group.

He flicked his fingers, releasing strands of Black Dragon Flame to lurk around, ready for use at a critical moment.

Having done this, he then followed the others towards the interior of the cave.

By the time he arrived, the battle had already ended.

Yielding to the prowess of Yu Qingcheng, such a top Heavenly Pride, slaughtering the Bat King was accomplished swiftly.

The Bat King, over a dozen zhang in length, lay split in two, sprawled in a pool of blood.

And Yu Qingcheng stood unsullied, like a fairy, apparently having expended minimal effort in the battle.

Truly befitting the status of a top Heavenly Pride from a Six-star Middle Sect, Lin Xuan inwardly marveled,

For the Bat King seemingly possessed the power of the Late Stage of Spirit Communication Realm from its aura.

Coupled with the bloodline of an Ancient Demon Beast, it should have easily slain martial artists of the same rank.

Yet, this gigantic Bat King perished at the hands of Yu Qingcheng, which indicated how fearsome she truly was.

Lin Xuan raised his head and glanced over Yu Qingcheng, his gaze resting upon the three large cave entrances beyond.

Behind the corpse of the Bat King, there were three dark openings.

Lin Xuan sensed the presence of spirit grass and fruit inside, presumably the Dark Night Bat Group’s stash of treasure.

However, at this moment, it had become the spoils of war for the group.

Yu Qingcheng stood at the center, commanding like a queen, ordering everyone to first bring out all the items and distribute them according to their contributions in battle.

This was a prearranged agreement, so nobody objected.

Zhao Ziqi wiped the sweat from her forehead; she stood beside Lin Xuan, curious.

Lin Xuan hadn’t exerted much of his strength in the battle, so his battle merit was quite ordinary.

If they distributed according to Yu Qingcheng’s previous plan, Lin Xuan wouldn’t get much of anything.

Based on her understanding of Lin Xuan, he definitely wouldn’t give up the treasure so easily; there must be another reason behind his actions.

Thus, she quietly paid attention to Lin Xuan.

At this moment, Lin Xuan hid the Snow White Monkey up his sleeve, mingling in the crowd, quietly unleashing his Soul Power, infusing it into his gaze.

A flash in his eyes, and then they returned to normal.

However, Lin Xuan could now sense all that was inside the cave.

It had to be said, there was a considerable amount of items in the cave, roughly a dozen in each one, totaling over forty when combined.

These spirit grass and fruit were extraordinarily precious, unseen in the outside world, and all of them were of ancient vintage, more than a thousand years old.

Even in the Lost Land, gathering all such items could take several months, so obtaining so many spiritual medicines from a single battle was an incredible fortune.

Lin Xuan quickly discerned the spirit grass and fruit, knowing he couldn’t take them all, nor even a majority, as that would draw undue attention.

Thus, he picked only the two best items from each cave, ensuring maximum benefit without arousing suspicion in the others.

After selecting his targets, Lin Xuan gently patted the Snow White Monkey inside his sleeve.

The latter grinned, showing its teeth, then fiddled with a small bowl in its hands.

Throughout this time, Zhao Ziqi kept a close watch on Lin Xuan; at first, she didn’t notice anything unusual about him.

But in the next moment, Lin Xuan gestured towards his Storage Belt around his waist.

This action was quick, and others, preoccupied with tallying their spoils, took no note of it—not even Yu Qingcheng.

Nevertheless, Zhao Ziqi kept her focus on Lin Xuan, and her Soul Power was not weak either.

So, despite Lin Xuan’s haste, she caught a whiff of something.

“That is…

top-grade spiritual medicine!

And it’s three thousand years old!”

Zhao Ziqi was shocked, she didn’t know where Lin Xuan had obtained it from.

“Could it be?”

A sudden premonition took hold of her heart, and her beautiful eyes stared intently at Lin Xuan.

Soon, she saw Lin Xuan place a second top-grade spiritual medicine into his storage ring, and this time it was a five-thousand-year-old one!

Zhao Ziqi’s eyes widened, almost letting out an exclamation, her heart filled with turbulent emotions.

Lin Xuan casually collected top-grade spiritual medicines several times, then turned back to Zhao Ziqi with a playful smile on his face.

Zhao Ziqi was scared, quickly lowering her head, but she was extremely shocked inside.

She saw clearly that Lin Xuan made six moves in total, among them acquiring a five-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine and one four-thousand-year-old one; the rest were around three thousand years old.

By this time, all the spiritual medicines in the three caves had been accounted for.

There were more than forty in total, with four being three thousand years old, over ten two thousand years old, and the remaining were a thousand years or several hundred years.

Although these spiritual medicines were precious, none of them were more valuable than those in Lin Xuan’s hands.

Zhao Ziqi was shocked in her heart, now certain that Lin Xuan’s spiritual medicines must have come from that cave, as for the method used, she was still unaware!

The allocation proceeded, and Lin Xuan only received a five hundred-year-old spiritual medicine.

He didn’t care about this; he had already taken the best spiritual medicines from the cave, especially that five-thousand-year-old one.

All the spiritual medicines in Yu Qingcheng and the others’ hands combined couldn’t compare to that one!

However, Zhao Ziqi had a bitter look on her face; she hadn’t played much of a role in the battle just now, so she only received an eight-hundred-year-old spiritual medicine.

Lin Xuan patted the snow white monkey, which then jumped onto Zhao Ziqi’s shoulder, grinning and gesticulating wildly.

Zhao Ziqi got a fright, initially thinking Lin Xuan was displeased with her secret observation earlier and wanted to punish her.

But then, she realized that wasn’t the case.

The snow white monkey pointed and hopped, seemingly suggesting something.

Following the direction of the snow white monkey’s paws, she looked on with a puzzled expression.

“Do you mean there’s something there?”

The snow white monkey nodded and made a ghost face.

Subsequently, Zhao Ziqi, half in doubt, stood up and walked to a corner.

With a sweep of her palm, she shattered the rocks.

Instantly, that portion of the mountain crumbled, revealing what was inside.

There was a jade plant bearing two crystal clear fruits.

Zhao Ziqi’s actions caught everyone’s attention.

When they saw the spirit fruit, they were all stunned.

These were two-thousand-year-old spirit fruits!

Zhao Ziqi was even more shocked, with waves of emotion churning inside her.

She never expected the snow white monkey to be so amazing, actually giving her a two-thousand-year-old spirit fruit!

Although it was not as impressive as those three-thousand-year-old top-grade spiritual fruits, it was enough for her.

She was currently only at the limit cultivation of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

A three-thousand-year-old top-grade spiritual fruit would be too wasteful and might draw unwanted attention.

Seeing the puzzled eyes of the crowd, Zhao Ziqi smiled and spread her hands: “Luck, just luck.”

“You’re too lucky!

Both of you husband and wife are so fortunate, it really makes people envious.”

Lin Xuan and Zhao Ziqi were stunned: “Husband and wife…”

Indeed, their disguise was as a man and woman from the Golden Light Sect, but they had not expected their relationship to be perceived as husband and wife.
