Collecting Fees
Fortunately, this person was only in the Foundation Establishment Early Stage.
Otherwise, it's hard to say whether he could knock the person unconscious with that blow, after all, he's not a body cultivator.
He looked around at the cultivators lying all over the ground and nodded with great satisfaction.
After making sure no one was awake, he took out the Key to the Icefield Mystic Realm and prepared to open the exit.
However, just as he was about to move, he suddenly remembered something, stopped, and then squatted down to start feeling around in the Storage Bag on everyone's bodies.
The collection of fees is the most important thing.
He was very fair and impartial; no matter how many treasures each person had in their Storage Bag, he only took Spirit Stone.
They didn't ask for much; each person just took fifty yuan.
I'll just take a small tip for my trouble; I won't take anything else.
After all, he didn't make his fortune through this.
However, when the fee was collected from Jiang Cheng and the other cultivators, it was discovered that they had several somewhat worn-out Storage Bag on their bodies, completely different from the Storage Bag hanging on their waists.
Lin Xiao knew that these must have been things they had picked up from other people in the ice cave.
Hu Guanyu also has one.
The only difference between them was that Hu Guanyu's old Storage Bag contained a skeleton and a will, while the others only had valuables, without any remains or last words.
Clearly, unlike Hu Guanyu, they did not intend to take the original owner's remains and news of his death out with them.
Upon seeing this, Lin Xiao remained silent for a moment.
He then collected all the old Storage Bag from these people into his private treasury, and took out fifty Spirit Stone from their Storage Bag.
As soon as Lin Xiao received Yuan Zhiyun's payment and opened her Storage Bag, the system suddenly spoke.
[Ding--Congratulations, host, you have discovered a Heart-Questioning Stone]
Huh, the Heart-Questioning Stone?
Lin Xiao looked closely into the Storage Bag and found that there was indeed a large rock inside.
I never expected that Yuan Zhiyun would have this item on her.
Lin Xiao was a little tempted.
If he takes this Heart-Questioning Stone now, wouldn't I obtain the sect's Heart-Questioning Road without lifting a finger?
But taking something without asking is stealing, and he had never stolen anything in either of his two lifetimes.
Even if he wanted to trade something for her, he couldn't possibly wake her up and ask for her consent right now...
It's not good to just switch it on your own. The person is carrying it, and who knows what they might need it for? If you switch it rashly, it might inconvenience them, which would be terrible.
Although he saved someone, one thing is one thing; saving someone doesn't mean he can take whatever he wants from them.
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Xiao only took fifty Spirit Stone and put Yuan Zhiyun's Storage Bag back.
Anyway, she lives in Yuanling City, so I can always find another opportunity to switch places with her later.
And maybe they can even sell them in the market.
With this in mind, Lin Xiao stood up with a sense of relief and went to collect the fees from the next person.
After collecting payment from each of the dozens of people, Lin Xiao used the Key to the Secret Realm to open the exit and then threw them all out through the exit.
Because he didn't use the Icefield Mystic Realm connection, this opened exit is the original entrance they came in through.
Several days have passed since the secret realm first opened. Everyone knows the situation in the Icefield Mystic Realm. Gathering resources was basically done in the first few days, and the rest was about fighting Demon Beast.
However, the Demon Beast in the Icefield Mystic Realm are notorious for becoming more ferocious every day, so basically everyone who wants to enter the Icefield Mystic Realm comes in the first few days. After that, unless someone has a special need, almost no one comes in.
Therefore, there is no one at the entrance to this secret realm right now.
Only two cultivators from the Heavenly Profound Sect were stationed here.
These two were merely Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Golden Core cultivators will only come to show their support on the first day of the event.
The area behind them was guarded by several Foundation Establishment cultivators in shifts.
They were supposed to be guarding the area, but we didn't really need them to do anything.
He's just a doorman.
Once inside the secret realm, unless the realm automatically teleports you out after fifteen days, you cannot exit on your own.
So the two monks stationed at the entrance were sitting in meditation while the other kept watch.
Suddenly, they heard a 'thud' and saw a person fall to the ground unconscious.
The two were stunned by what they saw. Before they could figure out where this person came from, they witnessed yet another person flying out of the entrance to the Icefield Mystic Realm.
One of the monks quietly asked his teammate:
"Isn't it supposed to take fifteen days to leave this secret realm? Today is only the eighth day, right? Or am I remembering wrong?"
The other cultivator shook his head and answered him softly:
"You're not mistaken, today is the eighth day."
Just as the two were talking, several more people flew out of the exit with 'bang bang bang'.
The two cultivators saw people being continuously vomited out of the entrance and did not go up to check for the time being.
After dozens of people vomited and there was no further movement for a while, the two of them went forward.
"These people aren't dead, they're all alive!"
"Hey! Look at this, isn't that Junior Brother Hu who's always following Senior Brother Xi from Seven Stars Peak?"
"And this, isn't this Yuan Zhiyun, the young master of the Yuan Household?"
"Wake them up quickly and ask them what happened!"
While the two Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the gate were trying to wake up the dozens of people Lin Xiao had thrown out, Lin Xiao had already set off for the next gray dot area to rescue people.
Of course, the process is exactly the same.
First, drug the person until they are unconscious, then throw them out.
So the two cultivators outside finally managed to move everyone to an open space to the side so that they wouldn't pile up into a human mountain, only to find a new human mountain outside the entrance when they turned around.
In the end, Lin Xiao threw himself out as well, landing on top of the crowd, pretending to be unconscious.
The two Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding the gate obediently moved all the cultivators to the open space and spread them out one by one.
They didn't even glance at the valuables on their bodies.
They wouldn't even look down on the meager gains of small fry, and besides, they were people from established factions; it wasn't worth ruining their reputation for such a small thing.
As for Yuan Zhiyun, who definitely had good stuff, they secretly opened her Storage Bag and took a look, but didn't dare to take anything.
Unless they can kill Yuan Zhiyun and all the cultivators on the ground without leaving a trace, they are likely to get themselves into a lot of trouble.
After all, the Yuan Household was the most prominent Aristocratic Clan in Yuanling City, and they also had a close relationship with their Heavenly Profound Sect. Yuan Zhiyun was the young master, so it was not easy to offend them.
On the contrary, if they properly settled the people in and then notified the Yuan Household to come and pick them up, the Yuan Household would definitely give them a thank-you gift, and perhaps, considering that they were disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sect, the thank-you gift would not be light.
