Half a day later.

Ling Pengyun and his two companions had been traveling stealthily for several thousand miles within the Serpent Dragon Lake area when they suddenly saw a figure rushing towards them.

When everyone saw the figure's face, they felt relieved and even showed a hint of joy on their faces.

This was because the person who came was Zhang Yan, Qin Shi's master.

Half a day earlier, when Qin Shi was ambushed by Wang Yun and others, he crushed a high-level Mother-Child Token given to him by his master Zhang Yan to call for help.

Zhang Yan found his way here precisely because of the Mother-Child Token.

Zhang Yan, who was rushing over, also noticed Qin Shi, Ling Pengyun, and Yan Siyi. When he saw that his beloved disciple and the most important Ling Pengyun were all unharmed, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Shi was his last disciple, whom he had raised and trained from a young age. Although they Xue Yuan, their relationship was no different from that of father and son.

Ling Pengyun is the blood cousin of Yang Siling, the daughter-in- Spirit Talisman True Person of his superior, Lingfu Zhenren. Judging from the fact that the Ling Clan Ling Clan the Luo Clan and even occupied the Luo Clan's Spirit Vein, it is clear that Yang Siling Ling Pengyun highly.

If Ling Pengyun's hunting of Demon Beast at the invitation of his disciple Qin Shi resulted in an accident, he may lose his position as deputy Hall Master of the Affairs Hall.

This position is extremely important to him; it is the most crucial step in his quest for the Dao of Alchemy.

As for Yan Siyi, she's not that important.

Although she was born into a distinguished Hall Master, Yan Siyi's Grandfather, Yan Cang, was only a Spirit Plant Hall Spirit Planter and not very strong. Even if something happened to Yan Siyi, Zhang Yan would not be afraid.

After all, even though Qin Shi invited Yan Siyi to enter Serpent Dragon Lake to hunt Demon Beast, Yan Siyi did so voluntarily.

After Zhang Yan arrived in front of Qin Shi and the other two, he asked them a few questions about the details of Qin Shi's request for help.

When he heard that the crisis Qin Shi and the others were facing was an ambush by their own sect members, he was immediately enraged.

"Wang Yun, Jiang Song, and Wei Yan dared to violate the sect rules and attack their fellow disciples. Shi'er, are these three still in the territory of Serpent Dragon Lake? This time, I will definitely destroy these three traitors to uphold the sect's prestige."

"Master, Wang Yun has been killed by Ling-xiong and me. As for Jiang Song and Wei Yan, they went to hunt down Xue Chao, Zhang Chuan and Ye Yu respectively, and their whereabouts are now unknown," Qin Shi said with a hint of worry.

Zhang Yan was slightly surprised to hear that his beloved disciple Qin Shi and Ling Pengyun had killed Wang Yun was at the Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer. However, when he heard that Xue Chao, Zhang Chuan, and Ye Yu were still in danger, he immediately felt a headache coming on.

Unlike Yan Siyi's Grandfather Yan Cang, the elders of Xue Chao, Zhang Chuan, and Ye Yu were only good at farming and never concerned with worldly affairs.

The elders of these three individuals not only possessed strength exceeding the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, but also mastered the three most popular skills in the Cultivation World: talisman making, weapon crafting, Pill Refining. Furthermore, they held high positions within the Hundred Spirits Sect and were highly regarded by the two Golden Core Old Ancestor, Spirit Talisman True Person and Hundred Spirits True Person.

If Xue Chao and his two companions were to die because of his beloved disciple's invitation to hunt Demon Beast, their elders would likely not give him a friendly look in the future.

"Shi'er, what direction did Xue Chao and the others escape from after being intercepted?" Zhang Yan asked.

Qin Shi then roughly pointed out the direction in which Xue Chao, Ye Yu, and Zhang Chuan had fled.

After Zhang Yan waved his hand and took out a Green-Eyed Ape with strength comparable to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment to protect Qin Shi and the other two as they left the Serpent Dragon Lake area, he headed to provide support in the direction in which Xue Chao and the others were being chased and fled.

"I never expected that Senior Zhang would have such a powerful Spirit Beast with such cultivation." Ling Pengyun stared at the Green-Eyed Ape, his eyes trembling, and muttered to himself.

Ling Pengyun and his two companions followed closely behind, continuing their journey back to Tu Yuan Market Town.

Thanks to the protection of the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Green-Eyed Ape, and the extreme caution taken by Ling Pengyun, Qin Shi, and Yan Siyi, they did not attract Demon Beast on their return journey. After two days, they finally returned safely to Tu Yuan Market Town.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun and the other two went to the place where Xue Chao, Zhang Chuan, and Ye Yu were temporarily staying in the market. They found no one there and no message left.

In addition, Zhang Yan, a Foundation Establishment Completion cultivator who went to find Xue Chao, Zhang Chuan, and Ye Yu, has not yet returned, which makes Qin Shi somewhat worried.

"I wonder what happened to Junior Brother Xue and the others?"

"Although Brother Xue and the others are not highly skilled, they are all exceptionally capable and should have some chance of escaping."

"Furthermore, Senior Zhang, if you go to the rescue, good fortune will surely come your way."

After echoing this, Ling Pengyun looked at Yan Siyi beside him, who had used a special Secret Method to enhance her cultivation, causing her cultivation level to temporarily drop back to the first or second level of Foundation Establishment, and asked her a question.

"Fairy Yan, when will your cultivation level recover to its peak?"

"The Secret Method I used to temporarily boost my strength has minimal side effects. At most, it will take about five days for me to recover to my full strength. At that time, I will be able to cook Spirit Cuisine for you, fellow Daoist."

Yan Siyi was a knowledgeable person and naturally understood the meaning behind Ling Pengyun's question, so she replied in response.

"I will come to find the fairy again in five days."

Ling Pengyun said.

"Alright, then I'll return to my residence to heal my wounds. If you two have any news about Junior Sister Ye and the others, please let me know as soon as possible."

Yan Siyi nodded.

Because of her background, she became acquainted with Xue Chao and others in her childhood, and Ye Yu was her only close friend.

Therefore, she was very concerned about the life and death of Ye Yu and others.

After saying this, Yan Siyi stepped forward and left.

Ling Pengyun and Qin Shi jointly killed Wang Yun, and both of them shared the wealth on Wang Yun's person.

However, the four Storage Bag on Wang Yun's body still retained the imprint of Divine Sense and remained unopened.

Ling Pengyun then followed Qin Shi to his residence. In the same quiet room, they used their Divine Sense to remove the Divine Sense imprints on Wang Yun's four Storage Bag.

In this way, they can keep an eye on each other's embezzlement.

Three days later.

After Ling Pengyun and Qin Shi opened the two Storage Bag on Wang Yun's body.

The two immediately took out four Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, three Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, two Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, and one Foundation Establishment Completion Snake Demon and python demon skin from the four Storage Bag.

Ten Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, eight Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, five Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, and two Foundation Establishment Completion cores from Demon Beast.

In addition, there were some materials for setting up formations, a Second Grade Middle Rank Aura Concealment Array, more than three thousand Spirit Stone, and some miscellaneous items.

Qin Shi and Ling Pengyun were overjoyed upon seeing so many spiritual creatures.

These spiritual items are worth at least 70,000 Spirit Stone.

However, after suppressing their joy, the two looked at the numerous Demon Beast materials on the ground, all of which were from snake and python Demon Beast, and the sheer quantity of these Demon Beast filled them with doubt.

It wasn't difficult for the two to tell from the materials about snakes and Demon Beast that Wang Yun had been specifically seeking out and killing these kinds of Demon Beast in the Serpent Dragon Lake area.

"Brother Qin, do you know if Wang Yun Spirit Beast any snakes or pythons?" Ling Pengyun asked in confusion.

"I am not familiar with that old scoundrel Wang Yun. I have only met him a few times. However, Wang Yun is the fourth disciple of Spirit Array True Person Old Ancestor Mo, and he is quite famous within the sect."

"I have also heard that Wang Yun had a Spirit Beast, but that Spirit Beast was a Foundation Establishment tortoise demon that died in an accident decades ago. To this day, I have not heard of Wang Yun taming Spirit Beast again."

Qin Shi explained in detail.

"That's strange," Ling Pengyun said, puzzled.

Qin Shi was just as puzzled.

Unbeknownst to the two, those Demon Beast cores were collected by Wang Yun, Wei Yan, and Jiang Song, three Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, during their hunting expeditions in Serpent Dragon Lake over the past six months. They were simply placed on Wang Yun, the fourth disciple of Spirit Talisman True Person.

The three of them were also under orders from Spirit Array True Person to collect the inner cores of the Foundation Establishment Realm Snake Demon and python demons.

As for the materials obtained by the three of them from killing the Demon Beast, they were divided equally among the three of them. This is why Wang Yun had a large number of inner cores and relatively few Demon Beast materials.

After a few breaths, the two, still lost in thought, finally came to their senses.

Ling Pengyun glanced at the numerous spiritual items on the ground, roughly estimated their value, and then took out the four items he had picked up from Storage Bag Wang Yun earlier: the eight Frost Ice Cloud Array Flags, the Frost Sword, the Ice Jade Shield, and the Frost Transformation Dragon Jade Bottle.

These four magical Law Artifact were all used by Wang Yun in Law Artifact during his lifetime, so they were not in his Storage Bag.

At the same time, Qin Shi also had a share of these four magical Law Artifact, and they were of great value, so Ling Pengyun couldn't keep them all for himself.

"Brother Qin, the value of that pile of spiritual items on the ground is probably around 41,000 to 42,000 Spirit Stone."

"Four of the array flags of this Second Rank High Grade Frost Ice Cloud Grand Array are damaged, leaving only eight. Its value has been greatly reduced. It is only slightly better than an ordinary Second Rank High Grade Law Artifact, and at most it is worth six or seven thousand Spirit Stone."

"Although the Frost Sword, the Ice Jade Shield, and the Frost Transformation Dragon Jade Bottle have not yet reached the Higher Vehicle quality among Second Rank High Grade Law Artifact, their good Law Artifact make them enough to sell for more than 21,000 Spirit Stone."

"The four Law Artifact together cost approximately 27,000 to 28,000 Spirit Stone."

"The total value of this batch of spiritual items is approximately 70,000 Spirit Stone."

Ling Pengyun first explained the value of these spiritual items, then pointed to the four Second Rank High Grade Law Artifact, the Frost Sword, and asked Qin Shi about them.

"Brother Qin, the Cultivation Method I practice belongs to water. Although the three Law Artifact, the Frost Sword, the Ice Jade Shield, and the Frost Transformation Dragon Jade Bottle, belong to ice, they complement my Cultivation Method to some extent. Furthermore, I come from a powerful Lineage, and the extraordinary Frost Ice Cloud Grand Array is of great use to my Lineage."

"Would you mind giving me these four items?"

"I am Body Cultivator. If I obtain these four ice-attribute Law Artifact, I can only sell them. Since Ling-xiong wants them, they shall belong to Ling-xiong."

"However, these four Law Artifact are only worth about 27,000 or 28,000 Spirit Stone. Ling-xiong, your combined Secret Technique Thorny Giant Python, played a crucial role in killing Wang Yun Ling-xiong. Of the profits gained this time, you will take 60% and I will take 40%."

"Ling-xiong, besides taking these four Law Artifact, you can also select spiritual items worth about 15,000 Spirit Stone from those Demon Beast materials."

Knowing that Ling Pengyun had mastered the secret technique of combined attacks and had a promising future, Qin Shi took the initiative to befriend him and said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Ling Pengyun's expression shifted slightly.

Although his contribution in the battle to kill Wang Yun was greater than Qin Shi's, it wasn't by much.

However, Ling Pengyun also understood why Qin Shi had taken the initiative to relinquish his interests this time.

He did not refuse, after all, an extra 10% in profits would be quite substantial.

After nodding slightly, he picked up the Second Grade Middle Rank Aura Concealment Array, which was worth about six thousand Spirit Stone on the market.

They also selected two Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, two Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, and one Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Demon Serpent.

Three Middle-Stage Foundation Establishment, one Late-Stage Foundation Establishment, and one Foundation Establishment Completion Demon Beast inner core.

And several second-tier water-attribute arrangement materials worth around a thousand, to be used to repair the four array flags of the Second Rank High Grade Frost Ice Cloud Array that were destroyed.

After distributing the spiritual items, Ling Pengyun bid farewell to Qin Shi and headed to the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, a shop owned by his Lineage in the market, to find Ling Yunfu, the Third Elder of the Ling Clan who was in charge of the shop.

Ling Yunfu was briefly informed of his nearly month-long experience following Qin Shi and others into the Serpent Dragon Lake area to slay Demon Beast and to counterattack Wang Yun of the Hundred Spirits Sect.

However, he did not reveal Wang Yun's cultivation level, so as not to worry Ling Yunfu.

A month ago, the first thing he did upon arriving at Tu Yuan Market Town was to seek out Qin Shi Qin Shi the others, and then go with them to hunt Demon Beast. He did not come to see Ling Yunfu.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun handed over Ling Yunfu Wang Yun the Frost Ice Cloud Array Flags (only eight of which remained) and the water-attribute array materials, asking him to pass them on to the Hui people.

Ling Yunfu was also an experienced man. From the grade of that Second Rank High Grade Frost Ice Cloud Array Flags, he could tell that Wang Yun, whom Ling Pengyun had killed, was probably at least at the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment.

"Peng Yun, it's best to be careful in the future. You are one of the pillars of the Lineage. If you fall, the Lineage's strength will be weakened." Ling Yunfu said with concern.

"I understand, my Fifteenth Great Grandfather," Ling Pengyun nodded in response.

Seeing this, Ling Yunfu said no more, lest he annoy Ling Pengyun.

He then took out two Storage Bag that he had prepared beforehand from his bosom and handed them to Ling Pengyun.

"Peng Yun, this Storage Bag contains a batch of Weapon Refinement Materials, which are the materials that the Lineage has entrusted you to refine for magical Law Artifact in the past six months. In addition, there is also a set of spiritual materials for refining Second Rank Low Grade Windbreaker Daoist Robe in this Storage Bag. This set of spiritual materials is a gift from the Lineage to you for refining artifacts."

"As for the other Storage Bag, it contains Spirit Stone. It contains 8,000 Spirit Stone that the Lineage helped you purchase Mystic Yuan Heavy Iron, and 4,000 Spirit Stone that you handed over the Yellow Sand Erosion Grand Array, for a total of 12,000 Spirit Stone."

At this point, Ling Yunfu chuckled and chatted about some trivial matters.

"These Spirit Stone were Spirit Stone by selling unwanted spiritual items after the Luo Clan Lineage was destroyed."

"Besides that, after selling that batch of spiritual items, there were still more than three thousand Spirit Stone left, which I have sent back to the clan."

"In another six months, the First Rank Low Grade Spirit Plant that the Lineage has planted on the more than twenty Spirit Vein of the Luo Clan will mature, which will bring in another large amount of income."

"According to the clan's plan, after repaying your Spirit Stone, we intend to do our best to help Peng Liang Foundation Establishment. I'm afraid that in two or three years, Peng Liang will be able to try to break through to the Foundation Establishment again."

"If Peng Liang's Foundation Establishment is successful, our clan will have five Foundation Establishment warriors. At that time, our Ling Clan will rank among the top three in the entire Jing Province region."
