108: We express our regret.
Yang Lingchen never took the bet with Ling Tianjun to heart.
Possessing the haotian jade space and the memories of Ling Juechen, if he were to lose to Ling Tianjun, he might as well just find a piece of tofu and smash his head against it.
After Yun Minzi left, Yang Lingchen also returned to Lingxiu Peak.
In the following days, Yang Lingchen began a life of day-and-night Cultivation. He never relaxed for a single moment when it came to improving his strength.
There were countless Spirit Medicine in the haotian jade space, enough for Yang Lingchen to reach the ninth layer of the King Realm. However, the only thing he lacked now was time.
As long as he was given enough time, he firmly believed that he could rapidly improve his cultivation level.
Just as Yang Lingchen was Cultivating crazily, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Xiao Minghao, led a group of high-ranking members of Medicine King Valley in a grand procession to the Immortal Sword Sect.
The reception hall of the Immortal Sword Sect was decorated in a solemn and grand manner. Upon learning of the arrival of the Medicine King Valley group, Ouyang Qingcang went out to welcome them personally.
"Valley Master Xiao, your presence is an honor, please forgive me for not welcoming you sooner!"
Ouyang Qingcang's enthusiastic voice echoed in the hall, his Face wearing a warm smile.
Although the overall strength of Medicine King Valley was not as great as the Immortal Sword Sect, Medicine King Valley was a Sect famous for Alchemy. Throughout the entire Southern Wasteland, Medicine King Valley had accumulated extensive connections relying on their exquisite Alchemy skills.
Therefore, Ouyang Qingcang attached great importance to the arrival of the Medicine King Valley group.
"Sect Master Ouyang is too polite. I have come today because I actually have an important matter to request of you." The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said with a serious expression, cupping his hands.
"Oh! I wonder what matter the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley has? Feel free to speak plainly; as long as I can help, I will certainly not shirk my duty." Ouyang Qingcang remained calm, looking at the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley with a steady gaze.
"To tell you the truth, I have come to the Immortal Sword Sect this time to ask for someone." The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said in a deep voice, a hint of determination in his eyes.
"I wonder who it is? To be able to make the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley come in person?"
Ouyang Qingcang spoke with ease, but inwardly he was secretly speculating about the intentions of the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley.
"This person is named Yang Lingchen, and he is currently an Outer Sect Disciple of your Immortal Sword Sect."
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said straightforwardly, his tone carrying a bit of urgency.
"Oh!" Ouyang Qingcang raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling somewhat surprised inwardly, "I wonder if the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley has any important business with Yang Lingchen?"
"This child has crooked intentions, a vicious heart, and is wolf-hearted."
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley's Face was full of anger as he said: "He was originally a new Disciple of my Medicine King Valley, but he took advantage of his position guarding the medicine garden to scrape clean all the precious Spirit Medicine on the Spiritual Medicine Peak of my Medicine King Valley. I have come today hoping to take this Rebellious Disciple back to Medicine King Valley for severe punishment, and I hope Sect Master Ouyang will grant this request."
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley wore an expression of hatred for evil, as if Yang Lingchen had committed an unforgivable crime.
"Valley Master, if Yang Lingchen is truly such a person, then I will personally execute him." Ouyang Qingcang's Face sank, his tone serious, "However, the current Yang Lingchen is already a Core Disciple of our Immortal Sword Sect, so before that, it is necessary for me to get to the bottom of this matter."
"Does Sect Master Ouyang mean to imply that I am lying?"
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley's tone was unfriendly, his brows furrowed. His Face also turned gloomy, because he had not expected that even after he had personally come out, Ouyang Qingcang would not give him any Face and would insist on investigating the matter clearly.
"Valley Master, don't be impatient, have some tea first."
Ouyang Qingcang smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal the servants to serve tea.
Ouyang Qingcang turned his head to his daughter and said: "Ouyang Yunmeng, go and bring Yang Lingchen here."
"Yes, Sect Master."
Ouyang Yunmeng replied respectfully. In formal occasions, she always addressed her father as Sect Master.
At this moment, the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley was extremely depressed, unable to figure out what kind of medicine Ouyang Qingcang was selling in his gourd.
Meanwhile, Yang Lingchen was currently in the middle of a Breakthrough inside the haotian jade space.
Inside the space, the Spiritual Qi was so dense it had almost solidified.
He was seen sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, Face solemn, driving the Profound Energy in his body, crazily charging towards the third layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.
With a Divine-Grade Cultivation Technique like the Vast Heaven Art, a top-tier seclusion place like the Vast Heaven Jade, and the support of countless Medicinal Pill, it was no exaggeration to describe Yang Lingchen's current cultivation level as improving by leaps and bounds.
"Boom boom boom..."
The Profound Energy within Yang Lingchen was like a surging tide, constantly impacting that barrier of his cultivation level. Every impact brought a wave of intense energy fluctuations.
Finally, under Yang Lingchen's continuous impacts, that barrier shattered with a roar.
"third layer of the Spirit Sea Realm!"
After the Breakthrough, Yang Lingchen washed up in the haotian jade space, tidied his appearance, and then walked out of the space with satisfaction.
As soon as Yang Lingchen walked out of the haotian jade space, Ouyang Yunmeng's melodious voice came from outside the door: "Yang Lingchen, come out quickly."
"Creak!"
Yang Lingchen gently opened the door and walked out. Seeing Ouyang Yunmeng, he said: "Does Peak Master have something to do?"
Ouyang Yunmeng's expression was slightly anxious as she said: "The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley, Xiao Minghao, has come to the Immortal Sword Sect to ask for you, saying you are wolf-hearted, have a vicious heart, have crooked intentions, and scraped clean all the Spirit Medicine of Medicine King Valley."
Ouyang Yunmeng then repeated exactly what the Valley Master of Medicine King Valley had said earlier.
"What a load of bullshit, I've seen shameless people, but never anyone this shameless."
Yang Lingchen cursed angrily, his Face instantly turning gloomy, "Peak Master, things are not like that at all."
Subsequently, Yang Lingchen detailed his encounter at Medicine King Valley.
"Hmph, I never thought that a dignified Medicine King Valley would actually do such despicable things." Ouyang Yunmeng's Face also showed an expression of anger.
"Peak Master, can the Sect Master protect me? If he can't, I'm going to run away now!" Yang Lingchen said sheepishly, a hint of worry in his eyes.
Ouyang Yunmeng looked at Yang Lingchen and said: "Don't worry, as long as what you said is true, the people from Medicine King Valley won't dare to do anything to you."
"Then I can rest assured." Yang Lingchen said, feeling a little more settled in his heart.
Carried by Ouyang Yunmeng, the two flew towards the Main Peak. The wind whistled in their ears, and the scenery along the way receded rapidly.
Soon, they entered the reception hall of the Main Peak.
Yang Lingchen bowed to Ouyang Qingcang: "This Disciple greets the Sect Master."
"Yang Lingchen, I have a few questions I want to ask you." Ouyang Qingcang said, his voice steady and powerful.
"Please ask, Sect Master." Yang Lingchen said, his expression calm.
"Have you ever been a Disciple of Medicine King Valley?" Ouyang Qingcang's gaze was like a torch, staring intently at Yang Lingchen.
"This Disciple is not a Disciple of Medicine King Valley."
Yang Lingchen answered without hesitation, then continued: "Although this Disciple participated in the Medicine King Valley Disciple Recruitment Ceremony and refined a supreme grade Medicinal Pill, the Medicine King Valley Spiritual Medicine Peak Master Zhang Donghai cancelled my examination qualifications because of a personal grudge, so this Disciple has never been a Disciple of Medicine King Valley."
Speaking of this experience, Yang Lingchen's heart was still filled with indignation.
"Then have you scraped clean all the Spirit Medicine of Medicine King Valley?" Ouyang Qingcang continued to ask, his expression serious.
"Because of personal grudges, Zhang Donghai detained me on the Spiritual Medicine Peak. In order to retaliate against him, I scraped a little bit of Spirit Medicine as compensation for myself."
Yang Lingchen said, his tone carrying a hint of righteousness.
"Are those Spirit Medicine still there?" Ouyang Qingcang asked.
"Sigh... they are already gone, all of this is Zhang Donghai's fault." Yang Lingchen felt deeply regretful, his Face showing an expression of heartache.
"Little Bastard, what does this have to do with me?" Zhang Donghai roared in rage, his eyes wide open.
"Do you have any right to speak?" The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley slapped Zhang Donghai directly on the Face. A clear palm print instantly appeared on Zhang Donghai's Face.
"Boy, where is the Spirit Medicine now? Hand it over to me immediately." The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley said coldly, a chill in his eyes.
"This has to be blamed on Zhang Donghai. At that time, I was being hunted by him, and he smashed my storage ring filled with Spirit Medicine into pieces with a single palm. Every time I think of this, this Disciple feels extreme heartache; that was a whole ring full of Spirit Medicine!"
Yang Lingchen looked regretful, as if the loss of those Spirit Medicine was a huge loss.
"Little Bastard, you're talking nonsense! With my strength, how could I possibly smash a storage ring into pieces?" Zhang Donghai roared.
At this moment, he was extremely angry. He had seen people being wronged, but never like this.
"I don't know about that. It's possible that you were in a fit of rage at the time, so you unleashed combat power far exceeding your usual level." Yang Lingchen said calmly, his expression peaceful, as if stating a fact.
"You..." Zhang Donghai was so angry that his Face turned blue, and his body trembled slightly.
"Valley Master, you see, the matter is already very clear. First, Yang Lingchen is not a Disciple of your Medicine King Valley."
"Secondly, your Medicine King Valley cancelled his examination qualifications without cause and detained him, which is unreasonable."
Ouyang Qingcang paused and then continued: "And out of a normal person's retaliatory psychology, it is a normal reaction that he scraped a little Spirit Medicine after escaping."
"Now that the storage ring filled with Spirit Medicine has also been destroyed by Zhang Donghai, regarding this matter, our Immortal Sword Sect expresses regret."
"At the same time, our Immortal Sword Sect also strongly condemns this radical retaliatory behavior of Yang Lingchen, and we express sympathy for the losses Yang Lingchen caused to Medicine King Valley."
After Ouyang Qingcang finished speaking, his Face wore an expression of regret.
"Damn, Sect Master's eloquence, it's really a waste of talent for him to be a Sect Master."
Yang Lingchen felt secretly pleased in his heart, but on the surface, he still maintained a respectful appearance.
The Valley Master of Medicine King Valley's Face was extremely gloomy. He did not expect things to develop to this point.
Originally, he thought that by relying on the reputation of Medicine King Valley and his own personal arrival, the Immortal Sword Sect would hand over Yang Lingchen without hesitation, but he did not expect Ouyang Qingcang to be so firm in his attitude.
