Lin Yitang had originally planned to leave, as it's best not to get involved in other people's grievances. However, upon hearing about spirit stones, she stopped.
One hundred high-grade spirit stones?
real or fake?
She turned around in surprise and looked at the female cultivator who was being chased.
This person was indeed dressed in luxurious clothes, shimmering with light, and all the ornaments on his body glittered with the light of treasures. Even his storage ring was different from ordinary people, so bright that it was impossible to look away.
She really is the daughter of the Money Merchant Guild!
This person appeared as a passerby in the original text; ordinary cultivators wouldn't recognize him, but Lin Yitang did.
Her name seems to be Qian Rong.
She suddenly fell into thought.
A hundred high-grade spirit stones—that's an enormous temptation!
You should know that Lin Yitang is now a wealthy person. Since she started a long-term deal with Tianji Pavilion, she has been able to steadily earn 2.8 million low-grade spirit stones every month. In the three months she was in seclusion, she earned 8.4 million.
Her entire fortune amounted to a full 22,680 mid-grade spirit stones, making her one of the wealthiest Golden Core cultivators.
However, this is only equivalent to twenty-two high-grade spirit stones. This shows how precious high-grade spirit stones are.
This young lady from the Qian family spent a hundred high-grade spirit stones in one go—her generosity was astonishing. It's simply incomparable to what people have!
That's normal, though. A merchant guild's only daughter naturally has all the wealth concentrated in one person's possession, so it's not inappropriate for the Qian family's daughter to carry so many spirit stones with her.
The only question is, how could such a wealthy cultivator, who is only at the Foundation Establishment stage, dare to appear alone in this mountain forest without any guards?
Lin Yitang narrowed his eyes slightly, his Golden Core stage divine sense sweeping across the surroundings, and he quickly understood.
Alright, so besides the fight here, there's another major battle ahead, fought by Golden Core cultivators. Just then, the Golden Core cultivators from the Hidden Kill Pavilion finished off Qian Rong's guards and turned to chase after her.
The Golden Core cultivators of the Hidden Killing Pavilion were indeed powerful; two Golden Core cultivators took down five guards.
The two were extremely fast and decisive, appearing not far from Qian Rong in the blink of an eye.
However, Lin Yitang was faster than them.
She activated her Wind Walk and Seven Star Steps, and in a flash appeared in front of the two Hidden Kill Pavilion cultivators, saying, "Stop, I'll protect this female cultivator. You can't beat me."
The two Golden Core cultivators' pupils contracted, and they instantly transformed into a gust of wind, disappearing from the spot. Even Lin Yitang didn't see how they vanished. Their concealment techniques were incredibly powerful.
However, she has a strong sensitivity to spiritual energy and her reaction speed is much faster than that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators.
With a single slash, two people fell from the air—two cultivators from the Hidden Kill Pavilion.
One of them stepped back a few steps and said calmly, "Fellow Daoist, please do not interfere in the affairs of our sect. The Hidden Killing Sect is paid to do things and does not wish to have conflicts with others."
The Hidden Killing Pavilion was actually no match for this female cultivator, so they had to discuss things with her!
Qian Rong's mouth dropped open in disbelief.
Lin Yitang remained expressionless and simply said, "I didn't want to get involved either, but she's given me too much. Since you're on a mission, there's bound to be a risk of failure. Failing once is nothing to worry about. I hope you'll all give me some face."
However, the Hidden Killers did not back down, but instead asked, "What if I don't?"
"Then I'll give you 30%."
After a moment of silence, the Hidden Killers said, "Fifty percent. Otherwise, with our methods, we might not be afraid of you."
Before Lin Yitang could speak, the Hidden Kill Pavilion explained, "After all, we also need to return the spirit stones if we fail. The amount of compensation is huge, and 50% is just enough to cover the losses we suffered this time."
"Don't even think about renege on your debt. Our sect has existed for so long, and the number of Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators is probably no less than that of the three major sects. Anyone who hinders our mission will become a target of our sect's elimination. This time, we can cover for you and pretend it was an accident."
Lin Yitang nodded and said, "Okay, deal done."
Then he turned around and nudged the stunned Qian Rong, saying, "It's your turn to make a move. They won't kill you anymore."
Qian Rong was still speechless when Lin Yitang interrupted her, and she quickly said, "Oh, oh, right away. This is your reward, senior."
Without changing his expression, he tossed over a storage ring.
Lin Yitang counted them; there were exactly one hundred high-grade spirit stones. Reluctantly, she gave fifty to the Hidden Killing Pavilion. The group bowed to Lin Yitang and then vanished into the woods in an instant.
Lin Yitang then had time to observe this wealthy young lady.
At the same time, I was overjoyed.
That's a full fifty high-grade spirit stones! She'd never seen so many high-grade spirit stones in her entire life. She could get that much just by helping someone casually!
Indeed, years of hard work are no match for meeting a benefactor in one day.
Because Wu Dingtang consumes resources, most of the spirit stones she earned were invested in her spirit flower space, leaving her with very little. Moreover, the points she spent also caused her considerable financial pain for a long time.
Now not only have they made up for it, but they've also doubled their profits.
The Qian family's daughter is truly remarkable!
Qian Rong then cupped her hands in thanks to Lin Yitang, saying gratefully, "Thank you for your help, senior. If it weren't for you, I would be dead here. May I ask your name, sir?"
"Lin Yi."
Lin Yitang made up a name on the spot.
Then, puzzled, he asked, "Since you are a member of the Qian family, why do you only bring five Golden Core guards when you go out? Logically speaking, you can't guarantee your safety if you don't bring more than a dozen people with you."
Upon hearing this, Qian Rong said with shame, "It was my carelessness. I came out secretly without telling my parents, so I only had time to bring these few people. I didn't expect that the Hidden Killing Pavilion would seize the opportunity. Normally, they wouldn't dare to attack me."
Lin Yitang nodded, "That's true. Besides, with five Golden Core cultivators on hand, as long as we don't encounter Nascent Soul cultivators or top-ranked experts, we can roam freely anywhere. We were really lucky this time."
She shook her head inwardly. This Qian Rong was obviously a naive and innocent girl. It was one thing to run around with such a small group of people, but to carry so many spirit stones with her? Wasn't she afraid of being robbed?
Actually, she had wanted to say this earlier: since the Hidden Killers just take the money and leave, why not just give them the money directly? Instead, they have to go through Lin Yitang and let her take a cut.
This silly girl must not have thought of this, and she hasn't realized it yet.
However, it's not necessarily true. If Lin Yitang hadn't suppressed the situation on the spot, the Hidden Killers might have killed people and robbed them directly.
It can only be said that Qian Rong is probably a sheltered young lady who has never left her home and does not understand the horrors of the cultivation world.
Just like now, she's still standing foolishly in front of Lin Yitang, completely unguarded against a powerful Golden Core cultivator, and not afraid that Lin Yitang will snatch her away again.
Ignoring everything else, she continued walking towards the Myriad Swords Sect, casually asking as she went, "By the way, you said you secretly ran away from home, where were you going? What were you going to do? What could be so urgent that you had to hide it from your parents?"
Qian Rong's eyes lit up immediately when this was mentioned.
He exclaimed excitedly, "Of course we're going to Sword Pavilion! Do you know about the Sword Pavilion Tournament?"
"The Sword Pavilion Tournament?"
Lin Yitang thought for a moment and realized he had never heard of it. The original text did not mention it, so it was probably because the requirements of the conference were not compatible with Ye Qiuli's current cultivation level, so she could not participate.
However, you can guess what kind of person she is just by her name.
"Is it a sword cultivator competition?"
"Yes! It's organized by the Myriad Swords Sect, and all sword cultivators within the sect's territory can participate. I heard that winning the championship brings enormous benefits. Most importantly, the Myriad Swords Sect is full of handsome men; if you don't feast your eyes on them, you've wasted your life!"
As she spoke, Qian Rong's eyes gleamed, as if she were imagining the image of a cold and handsome swordsman drawing his sword.
