Handling

Cailin and the others were also taken aback when they saw Lin Qing's appearance. However, when Lin Qing entered the hall, he shot two dark blue Medicinal Pill at Little Marten and Venerable Tian Huo.

The two men's expressions changed slightly, and excitement appeared on their faces. However, without saying a word, they immediately grabbed the Medicinal Pill.

Only then did Lin Qing turn his gaze to the group from the Heavenly Snake Mansion.

He discovered the people from the Heavenly Snake Mansion as soon as they arrived in Jia Ma Sacred City, but he was busy refining Medicinal Pill and couldn't get away. Now that his seclusion is over, it's time to deal with these guys.

"Hehe, gentlemen of the Heavenly Snake Mansion, it's not very polite to come uninvited. Tell me, how do you intend to resolve this matter?" Lin Qing's tone was icy, and a wisp of killing intent emanated from his body.

For the first time, he, who prided himself on being a peacemaker, felt an urge to refine all of them into Heavenly Demon Puppet. Although his seclusion had gone smoothly and these people could not have a significant impact on the Green Emperor Pavilion, and all three of them were Dou Venerable Little Marten, their swaggering entry into Jia Ma Sacred City still had some influence. If there had been no casualties, these people would be gone by now.

Meeting Lin Qing's murderous gaze, Venerable Tianshe and several Dou Zong experts broke out in a cold sweat, large beads of sweat constantly sliding down their foreheads. They couldn't help but lower their heads, completely losing their usual aura of power and the arrogance of the top forces in the Northwest Continent.

They knew from Lin Qing's words that this Master Lin wanted a satisfactory explanation. If the explanation was not satisfactory, they would not only be annihilated, but the Heavenly Snake Mansion would also be wiped out from the continent.

"My Heavenly Snake Mansion is willing to offer three volumes of Eighth-Grade Medicinal Pill Formulas, ten volumes of Seventh-Grade- grade Monster Core, three Tier 8 Medicinal Pill Formula cores, and twenty Tier 7 Medicinal Herb as compensation for disturbing you, Master!" Venerable Tianshe gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

At this moment, his heart was bleeding. These things were the treasures of their Heavenly Snake Mansion accumulated over many years, the very foundation of their strength. And now they had just taken them out like this. This time, their Heavenly Snake Mansion would suffer a great loss.

In the past, only the Heavenly Snake Mansion used its power to oppress others, but now they have unexpectedly become the ones being oppressed.

"Not enough! These things are tempting, but I don't lack them, and these things can't buy your lives!" Lin Qing glanced at the bowing Heavenly Snake Mansion Dou Venerable and said indifferently.

Only those whose strength far surpasses theirs can speak properly; the character of the people of the Heavenly Snake Mansion is probably not very good.

"So, Master Lin, what does my Heavenly Snake Mansion need to pay for us to leave?" Venerable Tianshe's face turned pale. He originally wanted to refute, but just as he was about to speak, three auras similar to his instantly locked onto him, so his tone instantly became somewhat humble.

"Besides these things, I want the Heavenly Snake Mansion to submit to the Green Emperor Pavilion. In addition to obeying the Green Emperor Pavilion's orders from now on, the annual tribute must not be reduced. As for the amount of the tribute, it doesn't need to be too much. Let's offer 10 million gold coins worth of Medicinal Herb every year!" After saying this, a terrifying soul pressure swept out from Lin Qing's body. This was not a discussion, but an order, a notification!

Upon hearing Lin Qing's words, everyone present, as well as the elders of the Green Emperor Pavilion who had gathered around, were taken aback.

Ten million gold coins is a lot of resources, but it's only equivalent to the Xiao Clan's earnings over several decades. It's not a lot either, as even the Jia Ma Imperial Family, the Misty Cloud Sect, the Alchemist Guild, and the Mittel Family could contribute it.

For the powerful families of the Jia Ma Empire, 10 million gold coins is a considerable sum. It's manageable once or twice; they can recover gradually. But demanding so much every year is completely unexpected. Fortunately, they are the beneficiaries.

The Heavenly Snake Mansion could completely afford this level of demand, so they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qing naturally understood the bottom line of the Heavenly Snake Mansion. He only saw the Heavenly Snake Mansion as a wallet, not as someone who wanted to drain its resources all at once. He valued sustainable development.

After withdrawing his soul pressure, Lin Qing looked in the direction of the Heavenly Snake Mansion group with great interest, as if he had made the decision casually. This nonchalant attitude made the people of the Heavenly Snake Mansion feel a sense of humiliation.

"Alright, we will prepare these apologies and the amount of tribute for this year within half a month!"

Faced with death, the Heavenly Snake Mansion had no choice but to submit and sign an unequal treaty. The Venerable Tianshe had a bitter expression on his face. He understood that from now on, the Heavenly Snake Mansion would completely become a blood bag for the Green Emperor Pavilion. Once the Green Emperor Pavilion was able to swallow the Heavenly Snake Mansion, it would be the time for the Heavenly Snake Mansion to disappear.

After the group from the Heavenly Snake Mansion left, Lin Qing dismissed everyone and returned to his Small Courtyard. He needed to adjust his state of mind.

After emerging from seclusion and completing all preparations, Lin Qing finally rested and recuperated for two days before slowly restoring himself to his peak condition.

Not long after Lin Qing emerged from seclusion, Zi Yan and Xiao Qi also ended their seclusion. Glancing at the somewhat grown-up Zi Yan and Xiao Qi, they realized they were about to break through to the Tier 7!

Noticing Lin Qing's gaze, Lin Qi smiled gently, while Zi Yan paused for a moment, then grinned.

Lin Qing took out a wooden box. Zi Yan and Lin Qi gently sniffed, smelling a refreshing fragrance that soothed their senses. They exclaimed in surprise:

"It smells so good!"

Zi Yan clung to Lin Qing, and before she could do anything else, Lin Qing opened the wooden box, inside which lay a square, bluish, gelatinous substance.

This is his homemade, energy-rich jelly, his first attempt. He started by Grain-Fed Pill pills in the Medicinal Pellet Valley and then dabbled in cookies, jelly, and candy, all to make these energy-rich items taste delicious. Not only can Zi Yan and the others eat this, but he can also eat it directly with the Swallowing Heaven Scripture and the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, so he put a little thought into making it more appealing.

As for the others, he only has ideas for now, such as bread and medicinal cuisine, but he doesn't have specific plans yet and still needs to explore.

Upon seeing the jelly in Lin Qing's hand, Zi Yan eagerly took it, ignoring the strange hand that was fiddling with her head, and exclaimed as she ate, "Slurp! Lin Qing, this is delicious!"

"Xiao Qi, you should have some too!" Seeing the envious look in Lin Qi's eyes, Lin Qing flipped his hand and another wooden box appeared in his hand.

"Thank you, brother!" Lin Qi smiled gently as she accepted the wooden box, took out a spoon from her Storage Ring, and began to eat in small bites.

"Hehe, you're still being so polite with me!" Lin Qing chuckled, casually ruffling the girl's hair.

Lin Qi comfortably squinted her eyes, and Lin Qing finally put down her hand, sat down to the side, and happily poured herself a cup of tea.

After the two finished eating the jelly, Lin Qing went to the newly built headquarters of the Green Emperor Pavilion.
