Volume 1, Chapter 35: Three Gifts, Fusion Skill!

"This..." Lin Yi had not expected Cheng Batian to prepare such a generous gift!

Cheng Batian smiled warmly and said, "Firstly, it is to thank you for saving Muqing, and secondly, it is a small token of regard from an elder."

During their previous interactions, Cheng Batian had discovered that this young man, Lin Yi, possessed limitless potential, so he decided to make an investment. Thus, he had upgraded what was originally intended to be a single gift into three!

Standing to the side, Cheng Muqing urged impatiently, "Lin Yi, hurry up and accept it! My dad has plenty of money; don't feel bad for him!"

These words left Cheng Batian speechless. Truly, once a daughter is grown, she no longer listens to her father!

Seeing this, Lin Yi no longer declined. He lifted the lid of the first wooden box, and inside was...

"Heh heh, so that's how it is. The Old Master truly lives up to his reputation!" Xingtian’s doubts vanished, and he offered a rare compliment to Kong Qiu.

The two powerful experts of the Underworld realm joined forces, their combined pressure descending like a mountain, crushing down upon Li Mushen’s physical body.

If they had been helpers recruited by the Six-Winged Flame Demon, they wouldn't have appeared only halfway through this abyss war, watching idly as so many Flame Demons and Flame Demon Kings were slaughtered.

"Mai Doudou is really cute" remained hidden beneath a massive boulder, watching the entire process without blinking.

What brought joy was that Su Chen had indeed lived up to expectations, repeatedly distinguishing himself. First, he ambushed the vanguard of the Wuyue army, and later, after the Wuyue soldiers used a water route to sneak an attack on the city, he promptly discovered and surrounded the rogue forces, thwarting their night raid.

The fans of Fu Xixi, who were already annoyed, cursed with all their might, using every creative insult and foul word imaginable.

The roughly eleven million spirit stones obtained from the Ghost Mountain Stronghold had been consumed by the Hun Tian Ba Ti technique, leaving only about five million remaining.

Bitang County was located at a vital crossroads with many merchants passing through. The county magistrate, Cao Wushang, placed special emphasis on the development of the county's commerce and enjoyed assisting wealthy tycoons. He often claimed that officials and merchants were one family, working together in harmony to raise the county's taxes higher and higher.

As soon as the eunuch finished speaking, the Yang family accepted the imperial edict with joy, though Yang Qingqing’s expression remained indifferent.

"Do you think you're feeding pigs? Even if you were, you wouldn't feed them like this! Do you know how expensive this food is?" Ye Ruyu had been grieving, but seeing Yang Qingqing waste such expensive food, she couldn't help but speak up.

Yang Qingqing looked at the circle at her feet. It was clearly a half-meter wide, yet her own Ruqing Courtyard was merely the size of a big toe in comparison.

"I'm fine, just a little hungry..." The fatty rubbed his grumbling stomach and instantly returned to his usual self.

Sang Zao and Sang Ye also clutched their throats, watching as Yang Qingqing rose calmly, pointing the dagger in her hand at Sang Ye.

Although this person had not offered help when it was needed, at the very least, he hadn't kicked them while they were down, had he?

Xi Bai raised an eyebrow, only then noticing that Princess Loulan’s body seemed somewhat translucent. He immediately realized that this was likely not her true form, and that her physical body must still be inside that stone coffin.

Hearing this, Lin Yi paused, a look of surprise on his face. The passage had clearly been sealed for some time, yet according to Yan Wenxian, the Nether Demon Lord had not hesitated at all, breaking the seal immediately to return.

"You..." The Dark Elf leader didn't have the chance to finish his sentence before he lost the ability to speak. With his brain destroyed, what was left to sustain his speech?

Lin Tian naturally couldn't say that he stayed behind to protect the mother and child, and that Lin Yi’s abilities were even greater than his own; even if he were to encounter danger, Lin Yi would be fine.

At this moment, they finally understood that Li Yichen’s previous actions had been to break the Demon tribe’s formation; otherwise, had everyone rushed in blindly, the consequences would have been self-evident.

You Zi, as a mother, found it hard to part with her child, and she was deeply worried that once the child returned, it would be difficult to see them again.

Although Adam remained skeptical, he followed Li Feng’s decision and obediently agreed to make arrangements. In fact, the executives of the various companies under Li Feng’s umbrella remained somewhat doubtful about his massive investments in Huaxia Real Estate.

Mu Qingping knew he couldn't command the Cao-surnamed cultivator, and by the same logic, he likely couldn't command the other two either.

He Qi was a reincarnated soul with the experience of the Qinglian Sword Cultivator spanning tens of thousands of years. This included not just cultivation experience, but also wisdom in dealing with people, which allowed him to thrive within the Tianyan Sword Sect.

After testing each other, both smiled in tacit understanding before turning their horses and returning to their respective formations.

What infuriated him, however, was that these few girls were actually dividing the family assets behind his back as a father. They weren't even married yet and already didn't show him any respect; what would it be like in the future?

"A painter?" Bruce laughed again, as it was rare to find a painter locked in a dungeon for grave robbing.

A year ago, he had only a rough grasp of painting. After a year of study, he could finally distinguish the styles of the great masters and appreciate the mysteries hidden within these works.

Li Qi wanted to touch it, but his hand passed straight through the galaxy. It turned out that the galaxy had become identical to the blue orb of light; it, too, had become a phantom, leaving behind only the traces of its existence.

This time, she still feigned that she was merely wandering, and after passing through the giant mud-sand palm, she silently exited the gate.

I don’t know what Lin Xian’er is thinking, but I imagine the goodwill I had built up in her heart must have collapsed by now.

This person had once had a strong intention to take him as a disciple, but he naturally knew that Elder Xun held no good intentions and was mostly motivated by the affairs of the Nine Continents mainland, so he had declined with an excuse.

After taking the silver, the guards figured it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, so they released Lin Donglai, said a few casual words, and returned to the city gate.

In just one day, under Hua Yunfei’s supervision, the villagers dug up the herbs Zhou You needed and placed them in bamboo baskets.

Even Hu Bayi, who had been on the battlefield, and the fearless ruffian Wang Fatty could not help but be intimidated by the ancient corpse’s aura. Their eardrums throbbed, their courage faltered, and feeling a sudden weakness in their spirit and panic in their minds, they immediately stepped back two paces.

"I don't understand what you're talking about. I was just concerned about whether you were home and if you had gone wandering around with an injured hand, but you don't appreciate it!" Luo Qimo said indignantly as she sat down.

"Don't worry. When there is an opportunity for you all to develop, I will give everyone a chance. If you encounter better opportunities and wish to pursue them, I won't force you; just let me know before you leave," said Ling Tanxue.

Zong Luoyu didn't know why he suddenly seemed unhappy; he had been perfectly fine just a moment ago.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was stunned. The Xiao clan was vast; to ask him to go out and find an old man he had never met, this was truly asking too much of him.
