Chapter 848: Chapter 853: Spoils of War (Part 1)
Shangguan Nishang also took out a silver-covered fist skill book from her bosom, with three traditional characters written on it, Six Attraction Fist.
She intended to ask Lin Xi if he wanted it, and if he did, she could copy a version for him.
Regarding the actions of the Grand Elder and Shangguan Nishang, the other three elders showed no signs of shortsighted objection.
Obviously, they all knew that the young man before them not only had a life-saving grace but more importantly, he was worth their favor.
Seeing what Shangguan Nishang and the Grand Elder intended to give Lin Xi, Avril Jolie almost showed a look of extreme surprise on her face, as someone from an ancient family, she was very aware of the value of these items.
Even though she knew of Lin Xi’s prowess, almost everything obtained from the entire Secret Realm was given away, which was a costly investment.
Zhou Yan had no real concept of these items, and she was just a Junior Soldier King, so temporarily, using Spirit Stones for her would be a waste.
After all, she previously heard from Avril Jolie that Spirit Stones are standard for Innate Powerhouses, but people at the Peak Soldier King Realm can also absorb them and greatly aid in breakthrough of their realms.
As for those below Peak Soldier King, it’s not that they can’t absorb them, but absorbing one wisp wastes ten wisps.
Besides, even having them would lead to being watched by others.
So at this moment, for everyone present, Lin Xi might refuse the fist skill but would surely not refuse the Spirit Stones.
Without Spirit Stones, using True Qi outside would take an excessively long time to recover.
This was one of the main reasons why Old Zhao dared not make a move against Lin Xi after killing several Peak Soldier Kings a few days ago.
Just as everyone thought Lin Xi would accept, he shook his head and said, "No need, I do not need these things!"
His response left everyone stunned.
They believed Lin Xi would most likely refuse the fist skill, as from the earlier situation, he already had very powerful fist skills, even more than one, which greatly reduced his need for this particular fist skill.
If he felt reluctant to take it all, he should refuse the fist skill.
But Spirit Stones, no matter how many times multiple they were, would still be considered few.
Especially for Innate Powerhouses, their need for Spirit Stones is much greater than those at the Soldier King Realm.
So they completely couldn’t understand why Lin Xi refused, what did he mean by saying he didn’t need these things?
Could it be he didn’t need Spirit Stones?
This was unimaginable, unwelcome in their minds; did they misunderstand something, could some Innate Powerhouses already not require Spirit Stones?
But Avril Jolie understood, that Spirit Stones were still necessities, even for those beyond the Innate level.
Especially in such a thin Spiritual Qi environment on Earth, they were even more precious!
Afterward, the Grand Elder and Shangguan Nishang did not forcibly push the items into Lin Xi’s hands, which wasn’t merely for appearances but rather from observing his tone and expression, realizing he truly didn’t care about them.
If they were to forcibly give them, that wouldn’t be very good.
Meanwhile, they really needed those items; their value to them was priceless.
At this time, the Grand Elder’s expression changed, "Mr. Lin, the palace ruins are just ahead!"
"I believe most people are searching there."
"Although we’ve delayed this long, there are many powerful beasts there, and it covers a large area, so it’s not necessarily completely searched."
"Shall we go over now?"
The eyes of the three elder parts lit up beside him, clearly, this was a good idea.
With their current strength lineup, they could be considered one of the two strongest forces in the entire Secret Realm.
If they went now, with some luck, they might find some good items.
Shangguan Nishang’s expression was relatively calm; after experiencing what just happened, she viewed these external items as less important.
Understandably, if the strongest four from the Shangguan family all perished here, then the Shangguan family would lose its reputation.
She speculated that they would quickly drop from a top ancient family to a mid-tier one.
If it comes to that, annihilation wouldn’t be out of the question.
Avril Jolie was quite excited; the reason she brought William here was to see if they could acquire some good items, but since entering, apart from powerful beasts, they hadn’t gotten hold of any good stuff.
So, when the Grand Elder made this suggestion, she was fully in favor.
Even Zhou Yan, who initially intended to stop everyone from targeting ancient mines, now showed faint signs of anticipation on her face.
After all, this day had completely overturned her worldview!
It turns out that such mighty individuals as depicted in novels could exist in this world, and there were even mysterious Small Secret Realms; those beasts weren’t just endangered forest animals.
Instead, you become prey, and they become hunters.
Of course, the presence of Innate Powerhouses in the team excluded her, and simultaneously, she understood why she could never best the rogue Lin Xi.
Yet, contrary to everyone’s expectations, Lin Xi shook his head, "No need!"
"You said it yourself, going there might find something good, but that’s not guaranteed, considering people have already been searching there for quite a while!"
"Even digging three feet into the ground would be enough!"
His words were slightly exaggerated but nevertheless partly true, so no one quickly refuted him.
"What if, what if, what if we find something?" Avril Jolie was least reconciled, she continued, "If we don’t go, then there’s no chance at all!"
This was the truth, and there was no refuting it.
Lin Xi thought about it, the greatest danger in the Secret Realm had already been eliminated.
Now, having two Peak Soldier Kings around, they could be said to be safe in the realm.
Earlier it was mentioned there was another powerful force, meaning the Zhao family and the Zhu family, but through his journey- Lin Xi understood they weren’t the kind to kill indiscriminately.
Though wealth can change a person’s heart, precious treasures incite even greater uncontrollable desires.
Yet, the possibility of them committing murder was still very small.
Furthermore, knowing these people’s connection with him, the likelihood of them making moves was even smaller, so he just mentioned they could be considered safe in the Secret Realm.
Understanding this, Lin Xi replied, "If you guys want to go, go together!"
"But as for me, I won’t be going!"
Shangguan Nishang curiously asked, "If you aren’t going, then where are you headed?"
"Don’t tell me you’re just going to wander around aimlessly!"
Others shared the same curiosity; the more Lin Xi refused, the more they suspected secrets.
After all, he was an Innate Powerhouse, and judging by his earlier actions, surely his abilities weren’t limited to mere strength.
At this point, Lin Xi mysteriously smiled, didn’t answer the question, instead pointed at the Taoist-robed elder and other corpses, saying, "Anyone want to search them? I suspect there are quite a few treasures!"
"Of course, no need to fight over it because everyone gets a share!"
In a moment, the Third Elder and Fourth Elder brought back two secret manuals and two small bags.
The secret manuals were also fist skills, although their power was far weaker than Six Attraction Fist, yet still very precious, especially for the Shangguan family and Zhou Yan.
The two small bags contained all Spirit Stones, about over a hundred.
That truly attracted hearts!
Aside from Lin Xi, even Zhou Yan’s eyes burned with excitement.
