Chapter 73

"Chi chi!"

The Qingming Sword was a treasure, and with the infusion of primordial energy, it was incredibly sharp. The tentacle beast, severely injured by Jiang Yi, was in the process of healing and could not attack. The Qingming Sword continuously flashed, quickly slicing away large chunks of the tentacle monster's flesh.

"Bead!"

Jiang Yi looked at the green bead as big as a dragon's eye, his eyes burning with desire. He quickly cut away the nearby flesh, and his right hand transformed into a claw, swiftly reaching out to grab the bead.

"Something's not right!"

The moment Jiang Yi approached the bead, he suddenly felt a fatal danger. His eyes turned cold, and he forcibly suppressed his intense greed, without any hesitation, he retreated explosively.

"Boom!"

The entire monster's body suddenly exploded, the force of the explosion even surpassing Jiang Yi's previous Burst Primordial Palm. The powerful shockwave sent Jiang Yi flying, tearing his robe and leaving many parts of his body bloody and mangled. Fortunately, he had clamped his legs in time, or his private parts might have been blown off...

"Damn it!"

Jiang Yi got up and spat out a mouthful of blood. Fortunately, at the most critical moment, he did not choose to continue reaching for the green bead but immediately retreated. Otherwise, even if he wasn't killed by the explosion, he would have been severely injured and crippled.

"Sure enough, it's a good thing. Such a terrifying explosion, and it didn't shatter."

Jiang Yi saw a green bead still emitting a faint green light in a corner and felt elated. He sat down with difficulty, took out a Tier Earth healing pill from his backpack, and swallowed it. He didn't bother with the green bead and sat down to heal his injuries.

Earlier, he had used his full strength to release the Burst Primordial Palm, leaving his body extremely weak. Then he forced an attack and was finally injured by the explosion. His body was at its weakest point. If he didn't heal and rest, even a third-level Cauldron Casting Realm warrior could easily kill him.

After half an hour, the Tier Earth healing pill's effects were exhausted, and Jiang Yi took out another one to continue the healing process. His body recovered somewhat, and his surface wounds were almost healed. His strength and primordial energy were also restored to a large extent.

Another half an hour passed, and Jiang Yi finally took a deep breath, put on a long robe from his backpack, and then walked over to the green bead.

"What kind of bead is this?"

The bead felt cool and warm in his hand, and it was very comfortable to hold. Jiang Yi examined it carefully but found nothing special. After studying it for a while, he suddenly had an idea and channeled some primordial energy to envelop the green bead.

However, the green bead showed no reaction. Jiang Yi was puzzled and tried many methods, even putting the bead in his mouth, but the bead remained unresponsive.

"It doesn't make sense. This tentacle monster had such bizarre abilities, which must be related to this bead. And such a violent explosion didn't damage the bead at all. This bead must be a treasure..."

Jiang Yi muttered to himself, originally thinking he had obtained a great treasure, but now it seemed to be useless.

After another half an incense stick's time, he confirmed that the bead was useless and didn't have time to investigate further. He put it in his backpack and looked around. Soon, his eyes lit up as he saw a token in a corner, and it seemed to be golden?

He walked over and picked it up. It was indeed a Lingbeishan Academy token, and it was the rarest golden token. He took a deep breath, and the result of his desperate effort did not disappoint him. It also proved that the golden tokens were indeed placed on powerful beasts.

"Right!"

Jiang Yi was about to climb out of the ravine when he suddenly remembered something. There seemed to be four bodies down here. Did they have tokens?

He endured the nauseating smell of blood and began searching the four bodies. Soon, he found the small bags where they kept their belongings. When he opened them, he was delighted. These four people seemed to be quite strong, and they had over twenty tokens in total. Most importantly, one of them had a golden token!

"Just one more."

Jiang Yi was overjoyed as he put the tokens away, along with the pills and purple gold in their bags. However, he didn't dare take their weapons, fearing that someone might suspect him of killing them.

He bowed three times to the four bodies but didn't bury them. The Lingbeishan Academy instructors would definitely come to inspect the area later. If he buried them, the families of the four might not even have the chance to collect their remains...

Unexpectedly obtaining two golden tokens, Jiang Yi felt much more relaxed. He climbed out of the ravine but didn't leave immediately. Instead, he found a secluded place nearby to continue healing and restoring his primordial energy.

"He he!"

After an hour and a half, he was startled by the noise from a distance. Feeling that his injuries were mostly healed and his primordial energy and strength were well recovered, he quickly got up and crawled out of the bushes, quickly heading toward the source of the noise.

"Wow!"

Upon seeing the scene, Jiang Yi was secretly alarmed. A large-scale battle was taking place in the wilderness ahead. At a glance, there were at least a hundred people, with dozens on each side. Although they didn't carry weapons, at least twenty to thirty people were already on the ground, many of them severely injured.

"Hey... Zhan Wushuang is here too?"

Jiang Yi saw two familiar faces. Zhan Wushuang and the black-clothed girl were standing to the side, watching the commotion without participating. When Jiang Yi scanned the fighting crowd, he discovered another familiar face, someone who shouldn't be here at all.

"Jiang Qilin's injuries are completely healed? It's only been two days. Did he take a Tier Heaven healing pill?"

Jiang Yi was very surprised. After watching for a while, he noticed that many people were secretly watching from nearby. With more and more people, he didn't dare stay longer, fearing he might encounter the girl from that night. Just as he was about to leave, a figure in the bushes nearby suddenly waved at him.

"Brother, brother, over here!"

A familiar voice came, and Jiang Yi saw it was the chubby boy Qian Wanguan. He hesitated for a moment and approached, asking in a low voice, "Qian Wanguan, what do you want?"

"He he, brother! I want to do a deal with you."

Qian Wanguan had an innocent smile on his face. He pulled Jiang Yi's robe and whispered, "Brother, if you help me severely injure ten people on Jiang Qilin's side, I'll give you a thousand purple gold. How about it?"

"What? Are you crazy?"

Jiang Yi's eyes widened, looking at the chubby boy as if he were a brain-dead person, and turned to leave.

"Don't go, brother!"

Qian Wanguan quickly held onto Jiang Yi and continued to smile, "We can negotiate the price. How about two thousand?"

Jiang Yi's forehead was covered in black lines. He glared at Qian Wanguan and said, "This isn't about the money. Why would I go out of my way to offend Jiang Qilin? Do you think I want to die? He's the son of the Jiang family."

"He he!"

Qian Wanguan laughed dismissively, "So what if he's the son of the Jiang family? If you hit him, you hit him. The Western Town King won't care. And there are at least five people here more prestigious than him. He's nothing. How about this... if you help me once, I'll give you a golden token."

"A golden token?"

Jiang Yi was somewhat tempted. He only needed one more golden token. The battlefield ahead was chaotic, and he could easily injure ten people in the confusion. He was just worried about Jiang Qilin seeking revenge later.

"Damn it, I'll risk it!"

Thinking he had already offended Jiang Qilin once, Jiang Yi decided to go all in. The most important thing was to save Jiang Xiaonu. His eyes showed a hint of determination, and he lowered his voice, "Give me the token first, and I'll do it for you. By the way... why do you believe I can injure ten people?"

"He he!"

Qian Wanguan's eyes narrowed into slits, and he whispered, "Killing aura. Among all the people here, you and Zhan Wushuang have the strongest killing aura. Zhan Wushuang won't do it, so I can only find you. Brother, your strength must be more than what you show on the surface, right? Don't worry, brother, as long as you can enter the academy, Jiang Qilin can't touch you."
