Under the circumstances, Xie Yingying could only swallow her frustration and throw out another Storage Bag.
The items in this Storage Bag were clearly even more precious than those in the previous one.
Many of the goods from the Trading Fair were kept inside it.
"Yingying..."
Lei Li finally recovered somewhat, and when he looked at Lin Chen and Wu Yun, his gaze carried both horror and resentment.
As Qingyang Town's number one genius, when had he ever suffered such humiliation?
And on top of that, he had lost so many good things.
Quite a few of those spiritual herbs had been meant for his breakthrough to the Earthly Yuan Stage!
Now he would have to spend time searching for them all over again.
At the next Qingyang Town Hunting Event, he would definitely make the other party pay with their lives!
However, even now, he still could not understand why he had been so utterly helpless.
Even if Lin Chen was at the Ninth Level of Body Tempering, he should not have been that powerful!
He simply did not dare to, nor would he, imagine that Lin Chen's cultivation had reached the Earthly Yuan Stage. That was absolutely impossible.
Then the only explanation Lei Li could think of was that Lin Chen had mastered some special martial art.
"Damn it. Just you wait. I'll take revenge!"
Naturally, he did not dare say those words out loud.
Right now, they were outnumbered. If he spoke recklessly, he would only bring another beating down on himself.
Lei Li had not forgotten the painful lesson of those Xie Family juniors beside him, sobbing miserably after being beaten so badly.
"All right, you people. Since the matter is settled, disperse. This is still the Trading Fair, after all!"
The middle-aged man who had been watching from the pavilion for a while saw that the timing was about right and spoke up at the proper moment. His tone carried a fair amount of helplessness, along with a trace of surprise.
Behind him stood a group of tough, burly men, specifically there to maintain order at the Trading Fair.
Wu Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head toward Lin Chen, and reminded him, "Brother Lin, that man is the steward of the Trading Fair. His name is Wang Jin, and he's an Earthly Yuan Stage expert. If not for the fact that our family factions control Qingyang Town, he probably would have made a move long ago."
Conflicts between the Lin Family and the Xie Family usually did not involve outsiders.
At most, it was the Lei Family and the Xie Family on one side, against the alliance between the Lin Family and the Mad Saber Martial Hall, engaging in so-called disputes.
Although Wang Jin was an Earthly Yuan Stage expert, he could not afford to offend the Heavenly Yuan Stage experts of the four great factions. He could only pick a good opportunity when things were about to wind down and come out to smooth things over.
Wu Yun's words were not only to remind him that there was an Earthly Yuan Stage expert here and that it was not suitable to strike again, but also to warn Lin Chen not to push Lei Li and Xie Yingying too far, lest the Earthly Yuan Stage experts of their two families launch a sneak attack.
After all, not everyone was as open and upright as their Mad Saber Martial Hall, where righteousness came first.
Lin Chen turned his head and exchanged a glance with Lin Dong. After confirming that the Storage Bag just thrown over was indeed worth a fair amount, he said coldly, "Since Steward Wang has spoken, then we'll let it go. But if your two families dare to come looking for trouble like before again, don't blame me for showing no mercy next time."
He took Lin Xia's hand, then led Lin Dong and the other Lin Family juniors toward the pavilion.
The Trading Fair had only just begun. There were still many places they had not visited, so how could they leave so easily?
Most importantly, the ones who ought to leave the Trading Fair were Lei Li, Xie Yingying, and their group.
"Damn it!"
After the onlookers in Gravel Square had been dispersed, Lei Li could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He suddenly punched a large rock, smashing it into rubble.
"Lei Li, what exactly happened just now?"
After Xie Yingying settled Xie Ting and the other Xie Family juniors, she came over to Lei Li, who was gradually calming down, and asked.
She truly did not understand. How could Lei Li, at the Ninth Level of Body Tempering, have had no ability to fight back against Lin Chen?
Even when facing Wu Yun, who was also at the Ninth Level of Body Tempering, Lei Li had never lost so helplessly. How could he have been defeated at a time like this?
And in such an embarrassing way, too...
"There's something wrong with that person. That wooden sword of his must have sealed my meridians, which was why I couldn't circulate my yuan power smoothly."
Lei Li recalled the situation from earlier, and anger was still hard to hide on his face as he continued, "We'll have to be careful during the Hunting Event. Also, we need to prepare a set of protective armor, so this doesn't happen again."
Thinking of this, he sneered again and again.
By the time the Hunting Event began, he would definitely have reached the Earthly Yuan Stage.
Once he became an Earthly Yuan Stage expert, even if a dozen or so Ninth Level Body Tempering cultivators came at him, he would be able to handle them with ease!
Xie Yingying seemed as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. In order to save Lei Li, she had paid the huge price of two Storage Bags.
Shouldn't he reimburse her for that?
She looked at Lei Li's expression and reaction, and finding that he had no intention of thinking in that direction, she could only hold it in for now.
Later on, if she played a few little tricks, she could make up for this loss.
However, that Lin Chen...
After returning from the Trading Fair, Lin Chen, Lin Dong, and the other Lin Family juniors all came away with full harvests and began secluded cultivation, hoping to raise their cultivation as soon as possible so they could achieve good results in the Qingyang Town Hunting Event and bring glory to the Lin Family!
"This is actually a sword art? Interesting."
Lin Chen took inventory of his spoils and discovered a Third-grade Martial Art called Thunderclap Sword.
When the sword art was unleashed, it carried the rumbling might of thunder, with tremendous killing power.
Moreover, aside from using swords, other weapons could also unleash the might of thunder.
Lin Chen understood now why Lei Li and Xie Yingying had possessed such a Third-grade Martial Art. They had probably planned to use the thunderous might to strengthen the power of their own attacks.
Even an ordinary Fist Technique martial art could produce explosive damage with it.
Generally speaking, the might of thunder was very difficult to withstand, and it had an amplification effect of the lightning attribute.
"I can learn this."
Lin Chen kept the Third-grade Martial Art Thunderclap Sword and looked toward the other items.
In the first Storage Bag were three kinds of Third-grade Spirit Medicine: Blood Condensing Vermilion Fruit, Crystal Vermilion Fruit, and Golden Jade Branch.
There were also two weapons, a longsword and a spear, both top-tier second-grade.
This did make things more convenient for Lin Chen. Next time, he would not need to carry around that wooden sword.
The Green Lotus Sword was rather special, and Lin Chen had no intention of letting others fix their eyes on him because of it.
Killing people for treasure was all too common.
There were several bottles of medicinal liquid, specifically meant to improve the physical body and accumulate Yuan Power, making them very suitable for the Body Tempering Stage.
Lin Chen figured they were probably treasures Lei Li and Xie Yingying had intended to use to break through to the Earthly Yuan Stage, and he had intercepted them outright.
He looked toward the second Storage Bag.
There was a large sum of silver, as well as pills for restoring Yuan Power, accumulating Yuan Power, and so on.
"Hm?"
What surprised Lin Chen a little was that there were actually two Spiritual Medicine Plants inside.
And they were the kind that were just about to bear fruit.
From the spiritual energy contained within them, Lin Chen discovered that these were actually two Fourth-grade Spirit Medicine plants.
As long as the fruit ripened, he would be able to obtain Fourth-grade Spirit Medicine!
The only thing was, Lin Chen temporarily could not tell exactly what kind of Spiritual Medicine Plants they were.
He transplanted them into the Small World inside the Azure Dragon Ring, letting them keep company with the other second-grade and third-grade Spiritual Medicine Plants he had bought at the Trading Fair.
Because Spiritual Medicine Plants had to grow in specific environments, required careful nurturing, and needed a long period of waiting, their purchase price was far from as expensive as mature Third-grade Spirit Medicine.
Lin Chen thought for a moment, then poured the red Spirit Liquid condensed by the Ancestral Stone into the Small World inside the Azure Dragon Ring.
This way, at least for a short period of time, the growth of the Spiritual Medicine Plants would not run into problems from a lack of nutrients.
He slightly adjusted the flow of time in this area.
As long as he watered and fertilized them regularly, he figured they should mature very quickly.
At the same time, he also fed the White Tiger Cub.
Right now, Lin Chen was rather torn. Could someone please tell him how to raise this White Tiger Cub?
He had only ever raised cats and dogs, plus chickens, ducks, and geese...
After thinking it over, he still adopted the simplest feeding method.
As for whether it could survive, that would depend on the White Tiger Cub's own fortune!
