Chapter Sixteen: The Xiao Family and the Ye Family
Lin Feng never thought that the prestige system could even exchange for this item.
All Lin Feng saw was a gray stone with "Primary Skill Upgrade Stone" written on it.
Yes, that's right, it's the "Primary Skill Upgrade Stone". I didn't expect to see it in the prestige exchange system, and the required prestige value isn't a lot either, only 1000 points. That means as long as Lin Xuan waits for three more days, he'll be able to exchange for this heaven-defying item.
At the thought of this, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel grateful for that sudden voice just now. If it weren't for that, he might not have gotten that elementary skill upgrade stone.
Lin Feng's feet moved swiftly as he rushed in the direction of the voice, his heart filled with a mix of gratitude and curiosity, thinking that the woman might be in some kind of trouble.
The Ti Shan mountain range was not like the back mountains, where there were many mysterious beasts, and naturally, many people came and went. Often, many sects or families would send their disciples to come and try their luck. Lin Feng had seen many such people over the past few days.
Soon, Lin Feng discovered that there were two groups confronting each other in front of him. One side was led by a pale-faced young man, and the other side was led by a beautiful woman who looked around twenty years old. It seemed that the voice just now should have come from that beautiful woman, Lin Feng thought to himself secretly.
"Hehe, I've always liked to tease people a bit too much, especially beautiful women."
Ye Wuhang carefully sized up the woman in front of him, who had a beautiful appearance and wore a purple dress. Her eyes emitted a fiery glow, her plump and slender figure, fair skin, all made his throat feel dry, and he couldn't help but lick his lower lip.
Xiao Xueqing saw the disgusting look on Ye Yu Hang's face, her eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, and a hint of disgust appeared on her face. With an expression of discontent, she said, "Ye Yu Hang, our Xiao family has always been like river water not offending well water with your Ye family. We've already given up on the high-ranking Xuan beast corpse that we've been desperately hunting for. Why must you insist on making things difficult for us today?"
Killing a high-ranking Xuan beast might be just a matter of some effort for Lin Feng, but it's not that simple for others. Although people at the 8th or 9th level of Xuan Wu can contend with high-ranking Xuan beasts, actually killing one is not something that can be easily done by just anyone. To be able to kill them easily, one would have to be at least at the Xuan Shi realm or above.
But don't forget another principle: many people gathering firewood makes a high flame.
One or two 8th or 9th level cultivators might not be a match for a high-level demon beast.
What if it's a group of people?
The outcome was predictable, and soon this high-ranking Xuan beast was taken down by the Xiao family. A single high-ranking Xuan beast could sell for no less than 1,000 taels of silver, which was equivalent to a decade's worth of living expenses for an ordinary commoner family. Although it was just a small gain for the Xiao family, it was still their hard-earned money and they wouldn't give it away for nothing.
Xiao Xueqing, not wanting to offend the Ye family, was willing to give this high-ranking beast to Ye Yuhang. However, after swallowing it, he refused to let them leave and demanded that they hand over the other beasts they had killed earlier. This was too much for them to bear, and both sides broke into a quarrel on the spot.
"Hmm, how about this, Xiao Xueqing accompanies me for a night, and I can give up all these things, even the high-ranking mystical beast can be returned to you, as long as you..."
Ye Feng looked at Xiao Xueqing's slender and delicate body, the fervor in his eyes grew even more intense, and he smiled with ill intentions.
"Are you looking for trouble?"
"Are you kidding?"
Xiao Xueqing had not spoken yet, when two voices suddenly sounded at the same time beside her. The two figures rushed towards Ye Yuexing and arrived in front of him. They simultaneously struck out with their palms, one hitting Ye Yuexing's chest and the other hitting his abdomen.
Facing the impending attack, Night Feather's face showed a hint of disdain, as if he didn't care about his own safety.
Just as the two were about to hit Midnight Wings, a figure suddenly flashed over quickly.
"Hmm"
"Hmm"
Two muffled sounds rang out, and two figures flew out backwards. With a loud crash, the faces of the two figures were revealed, and to everyone's surprise, they were Xiao Peak and Xiao Hai, the two geniuses of the Xiao family, both of whom had cultivation at the 8th level of Xuanbing.
All of this happened in a flash, and before Xiao Xueqing could even react, the two people who had made their move were already lying on the ground in front of her.
Ye Yuhang looked at the two people lying on the ground with disdain and snorted, "You're overestimating your abilities!"
Xiao Feng and Xiao Hai, who were lying on the ground, suddenly changed their expressions and looked at a thin-faced middle-aged man behind Ye Yu Hang. At the same time, they warned Xiao Xue Qing, "Miss, be careful, that person is a strong master of the Xuan level."
What?
Hush hush
The eyes of the Xiao family members turned to the thin middle-aged man at the same time, and Xiao Xueqing's face also changed slightly, looking at the middle-aged man.
"Yehong, I order you to bring that Xiao Xueqing here." Ye Yuhang said proudly to the middle-aged man behind him.
"Yes, young master." The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
Xiao Xueqing's face changed greatly as soon as she heard it, with her strength, she would definitely be captured by the opponent. Don't look at their numbers, but facing the mysterious master, they had almost no resistance, so she hurriedly spoke up.
"Slow down, Ye Yuhang, are you trying to get our two families, the Xiao and Ye families, to go to war? Don't forget, once we start fighting, the Qin family, who is on good terms with us, will definitely lend us a helping hand. At that time, your Ye family will be attacked by both of our families, and your family will suffer heavy losses. Are you daring enough to do this?"
The Ye, Qin and Xiao families are the three largest families within a hundred miles, with the Ye family being the strongest, followed by the Qin family, and the Xiao family ranking last. Each of these families has at least one ancestor who is at the Xuanling level.
On the Xuanqi continent, only after reaching the Xuanling level can one be called a strong practitioner. The previous four realms are just the mortal stage, with a lifespan of only about 100 years.
Once entering the Xuanling level, talents begin to gradually shed their mortal phase. Human lifespan can basically live up to two hundred years. Xuanqi is no longer just an amplification of power, but also has spirituality, able to condense heaven and earth energy for one's own use. Just like Lin Feng encountered Xu Zhen using a condensed pale blue sphere to attack him. After reaching the Xuanling level, people are no longer limited to close-range attacks, and have added some long-range attack methods.
It is precisely because of the existence of high-ranking Xuanling experts that these three families are the strongest in the surrounding area.
Xiao Xueqing and Ye Yehang are the daughter of the Xiao family's master and the son of the Ye family's master, their identities are enough to represent the Xiao and Ye families.
Xiao Xueqing attempted to intimidate Ye Yuhang with her words, but unexpectedly, Ye Yuhang burst out laughing after hearing them. "Haha... Xiao Xueqing, do you know why I ended up meeting you here today?"
Xiao Xueqing heard Ye Yuhang ask this and felt a slight sense of unease in her heart.
The first update is here, and there's another one tonight, so please give me some votes and collect them.
