Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Out of Danger, Are You Eating Elixirs Like Peanuts?

The place everyone chose was very secretive, and it should not be discovered by other magical beasts in a short period of time.

Lin Chen released his Divine Sense to confirm that the big snake had not caught up, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, as the danger that others faced in front of the big snake was far less than what Lin Chen faced.

It was Lin Chen who had picked the Dragon Whisker Polygonum, and his scent had already been locked onto by the big snake. Should the big snake catch up, it would attack Lin Chen frenziedly. No matter how many people were there, they would not be able to protect him.

However, judging by the current situation, the big snake seemed to have given up on the Dragon Whisker Polygonum.

Lin Chen touched his Spatial Ring and took out a large cloth bag, then started eating the contents in large handfuls.

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, not understanding what Lin Chen was doing.

After eating a few mouthfuls from the cloth bag, Lin Chen started to meditate and recuperate, his Spiritual Power quickly recovering within his body.

The contents of the cloth bag were naturally the Spirit Gathering Pills that Lin Chen had refined.

Lin Chen had already consumed all his Spirit Revitalizing Pills, so he had to use the higher quality and more effective Spirit Gathering Pills as a substitute to restore his Spiritual Power.

If other people knew this, they would probably be so furious they’d spit blood.

People could not even get their hands on Spirit Gathering Pills and had to rely on Low-grade Spirit Stones to restore their expended Spiritual Power.

Not to mention the slow speed, but they also had to expel the impurities within.

Meanwhile, far away, Leng Dong and the others were looking at Lin Chen with extremely unfriendly gazes.

Lin Chen saw all of this, of course, but he did not pay attention to the others.

Their thoughts were nothing more than wanting to snatch the Dragon Whisker Polygonum, but Lin Chen was not afraid of them.

Not to mention that after the recent escape, everyone’s internal Spiritual Power was nearly depleted. Even if they were at their peak, Lin Chen was unafraid of Leng Dong.

Although Lin Chen had indeed duped everyone in the process of picking the Dragon Whisker Polygonum, obtaining it was originally a matter of chance.

Anyone wishing to pick the Dragon Whisker Polygonum on their own strength was impossible. Cooperation was necessary, and someone had to draw the big snake’s attention away.

Lin Chen had even kindly given them Talismans for escaping. If not for those, everyone would have already perished under the big snake’s claws on their way back to Dragon Pond.

Originally, everyone could have survived by using the Space Compression Talismans to escape.

However, human greed had made them throw their lives away recklessly.

After Lin Chen had picked the Dragon Whisker Polygonum, the big snake would surely go mad. When other people went back deep into Dragon Pond wanting to share the spoils and thinking they could find a chance to snatch the Dragon Whisker Polygonum from Lin Chen, it was no different from courting death.

Fortunately, Lin Chen had anticipated this scene earlier. Returning to activate the Binding Spirit Array to aid their escape, he had already done all that duty required of him.

If Lin Chen had disregarded everyone’s life and death from the beginning and not provided them with Talismans, he could still have picked the Dragon Whisker Polygonum. It was just that without the others’ tactics to distract the big snake and trap it with a Formation for a moment, it would have increased the risk of picking the herb.

"Hey kid, what are you eating? Let me try some."

Wang Yilin, seeing Lin Chen eating from the cloth bag, immediately asked with a greedy look on her face.

During the days in the secret realm, following Xu Lianyu relentlessly towards Dragon Pond, she had not had the chance to cook the magical beasts she had killed.

Thinking that Lin Chen was eating something delicious, especially since she was a bit hungry, she asked Lin Chen.

"Nothing, nothing delicious."

Upon hearing her, Lin Chen gave a faint smile and refused Wang Yilin’s request.

Are you kidding me? Even though Lin Chen had the Pill Spirit Array and found refining elixirs convenient, his elixirs were money—no way would he just give them away for free.

Besides, there were other people around. If everyone knew Lin Chen was consuming large amounts of Spirit Gathering Pills to restore his Spiritual Power, they would surely accuse him of being wasteful, and they might even covet his elixirs.

"Tsk, hogging all the good stuff. If you don’t want to share, then don’t. Who cares?"

Seeing how stingy Lin Chen was, Wang Yilin spoke irritably.

From a distance, Xu Lianyu, who saw how Wang Yilin treated Lin Chen, immediately felt displeased. She knew that Wang Yilin loved to eat, but found it difficult to speak up against her.

After all, Xu Lianyu was the same in that regard—especially since Jade Bird Peak lacked a canteen, she had always been freeloading at Wang Yilin’s Ninth Peak.

There’s a saying that one who takes favors becomes soft-spoken. She didn’t want to say too much, in case Wang Yilin decided to account for the canteen expenses, which would cost a lot of money.

Although as the Sect Leader’s granddaughter, Xu Lianyu could have simply asked her grandfather to resolve it with a word, being the proud person she was, she wouldn’t bother him over such a trivial matter.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a pink shadow flashed in front of Lin Chen, snatching the cloth bag from his hands in an instant.

"Haha, you really thought I wouldn’t take it? I want to see what delicious food you’re hoarding."

Wang Yilin laughed as she grabbed the cloth bag from Lin Chen’s hands and grinned at him.

Lin Chen hadn’t expected Wang Yilin to be so fast; he hadn’t even had time to react. It was terrifying, considering she truly deserved to be a True Disciple. Her actual cultivation level was probably at the Melding Earth Realm like his senior sister’s. Even if her cultivation was suppressed, it was still not something a Spirit Gathering Realm martial artist could compare with.

If Wang Yilin had harbored any malicious intent just then, Lin Chen might have been in great peril. It seemed he had let his guard down too much.

Rustle—

As she opened the cloth bag, Wang Yilin was stunned by the contents.

Inside, it was all Spirit Gathering Pills. Was this guy really just eating these to restore his Spiritual Power?

Such waste, such terrible waste! Since when did Jade Bird Peak become so rich to treat Spirit Gathering Pills like beans?

Could it be that Jade Bird Peak had been pretending to be poor all along?

Wang Yilin glanced at Xu Lianyu, then turned her gaze back to Lin Chen, seeming to realize something—it wasn’t Jade Bird Peak that was rich, but this guy himself.

To know, even for a True Disciple, the monthly cultivation resources amount to no more than five hundred Spirit Gathering Pills.

Seeing Lin Chen treating Spirit Gathering Pills like beans, Wang Yilin couldn’t help but feel envious.

"Junior Brother Lin Chen, are you still taking in followers? How was my move just now? Let me be your follower. You tell me who to hit, and I’ll hit them, just as long as you provide me with a bag of food like this three times a day."

Wang Yilin quickly appeared beside Lin Chen, flashing him a toothy grin.

Perhaps because she perceived Lin Chen as Xu Lianyu’s little lover, she felt an extra bit of warmth towards him.

In the Sect, many Heavenly Pride disciples had tried to win Wang Yilin’s favor but were only able to receive a disdainful glance from the ice queen.

"I-I don’t need a follower."

With Wang Yilin so close to him, Lin Chen caught a whiff of her fragrance and embarrassingly started to shy away.

But because of the incident with Mu Qingxue, which left a shadow in his heart, Lin Chen was naturally not foolish enough to take Wang Yilin’s words seriously—she was clearly after the Spirit Gathering Pills.
