Daqin arrests alchemists, what does it matter to me as a qi refiner?

After listening to the woman's explanation, Yang Ling and others suddenly understood.

So, they all nodded in understanding and said, "Yes, we are here to participate in the beast hunting competition."

After hearing the answer from Yang Ling and the others, a smile suddenly appeared on the other party's face, and then he continued: "If that's the case, then you can come with us."

Yang Ling quickly agreed with a smile: "Okay, I'd love to." He thought to himself that these people were all quite capable, and with their help, their safety would be better guaranteed.

Not long after, Yang Ling and his group followed these people to the gate of a city.

This city is the only city in Nanling and is also the venue for the Beast Hunting Conference.

Nanling is under the jurisdiction of Beizhou Liaoling Sect, and this city also belongs to Liaoling Sect.

Therefore, everyone who participates in the Beast Hunting Conference must pay one hundred low-grade crystals before entering.

Only after Yang Ling and his companions paid 500 crystal stones were they allowed to enter Nanling City.

After entering Nanling City, Yang Ling and his companions said goodbye to the team that led the way.

In order to express his gratitude to the other party for leading the way, Yang Ling generously gave him a few bottles of pills.

Originally, the captain of the other team was embarrassed to accept it, but when he saw that the pill Yang Ling gave him was actually a top-grade Peiyuan Pill, his eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a magical medicine for healing!

For those who participate in the beast hunting conference, it is indeed an indispensable elixir.

Finally, the team leader accepted Yang Ling's pills, and after receiving the pills, he directly introduced them to a small courtyard.

It turned out that this small courtyard was where his good brother settled down. No matter where he went, his good brother would buy a courtyard to settle down.

He withdrew from the beast hunting competition some time ago due to some matters, and the yard could not be sold for a while.

Now is a good opportunity for him to rent it out to Yang Ling and others to stay and rest.

Yang Ling and the others did not hesitate to follow him to the gate of the courtyard.

The moment you push open the gate, a strong aura rushes towards you, refreshing your spirits.

Yang Ling and his companions couldn't help but take a deep breath, feeling the baptism of this spiritual energy.

Through a careful scan with his spiritual sense, Yang Ling discovered that the source of this spiritual energy turned out to be a spirit gathering array arranged in the center of the yard.

It seems that the previous owner of this courtyard was an extraordinary formation master, who left behind such a mysterious formation.

In the center of the yard, a small well stood quietly, the water in the well was clear and transparent, as if it could wash away all the dust in the world.

Take a sip and you’ll find it sweet and refreshing, straight to your heart. What’s even more amazing is that this well water also has the effect of nourishing the body.

Around the small well, the flowers, plants and trees are lush and green, full of vitality, obviously benefiting from the well water.

In a corner of the yard, a small pavilion stands quietly, with a unique shape and full of charm.

A few people strolled around other corners of the yard and found that there were four or five rooms in the yard. Each room was decorated warmly and comfortably, making people feel at home.

Yang Ling and everyone else quickly found their own rooms, settled down, and began to pack their luggage.

Not long after, Yang Ling and his team met the other team again. Both sides greeted each other warmly and began to introduce themselves to each other.

Yang Ling smiled and extended his hand to the captain of the other team: "Hello, I'm Yang Ling."

The other team's captain also shook Yang Ling's hand in a friendly manner and responded, "Hello, I'm Zhang Minyu."

Then, he pointed to his teammates and continued to introduce, "This is Lin Mu." A slightly thin man nodded to Yang Ling as a friendly gesture.

Zhang Minyu pointed to another male teammate and said, "This is Li Wei."

After introducing the male teammates, Zhang Minyu smiled and pointed at the only female teammate, jokingly saying: "This is the queen of our team, Liu Xiaoxiao."

Yang Ling looked at Zhang Minyu and the others, smiled and said, "Nice to meet you."

Then, he pointed at Ying Zheng and others beside him and introduced them, "These are my teammates, Ying Zheng, Boston, Li Yun, and Wang Yue."

When talking about the purpose of this trip, Yang Ling said straight to the point: "We plan to go deep into the Nanling Mountains to hunt monsters."

Zhang Minyu heard this and immediately responded, "We too."

Yang Ling's eyes lit up and he suggested, "That's great. Would you like to join us?"

Zhang Minyu answered readily: "Of course, we are happy to do so."

Liu Xiaoxiao also smiled and said: "We have been here for a while and are familiar with the situation here."

Yang Ling was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked at Zhang Minyu and the others happily and said, "That's great."

Ying Zheng also laughed and said with emotion: "It seems that we are very lucky."

So, under the leadership of Zhang Minyu's team, Yang Ling and others embarked on a journey to the depths of Nanling Mountains.

They walked forward and finally arrived at the foot of a mountain that towered into the clouds.

Looking up, I saw the top of the mountain was gray, shrouded in clouds and mist, and it was mysterious.

This mountain is called Feiluan Peak. It is said that in ancient times, a nine-colored phoenix and a dragon fought a fierce battle in the clouds.

In the end, the Nine-Colored Luan Bird narrowly defeated the dragon, but it was also seriously injured. It found a peaceful place in the mountains and was reborn.

From then on, this place was named Feiluan and became a paradise for beast hunters, because powerful monsters often appeared here, attracting countless beast hunters to come and challenge.

However, hunting high-level monsters is extremely risky. Every hunt may involve a life-or-death crisis. Once you encounter a powerful monster, you may die on the spot.

But even so, there are still many people flocking to it, risking their lives for the generous rewards and endless glory.

Yang Ling and his companions came here today to hunt. They carefully shuttled through the dense forest, always keeping alert.

Suddenly, a roar broke the silence, and a monster rushed out of the forest in the distance.

The monster was shaped like a tiger, with eyes as red as blood and a pair of sharp horns on its forehead.

It has a pair of black wings on its back and extremely sharp claws.

Its tail was curved like a snake, flashing with a faint light, and looked ferocious and terrifying. It was covered with scales, as hard as iron, as if it could withstand any attack.

After seeing this monster, Yang Ling and others quickly dodged it.

Yang Ling shouted loudly: "Run!" Zhang Minyu also quickly pulled up his teammates and ran away.

However, the monster seemed to have identified Yang Ling, and after pausing for a moment, it chased after him. Yang Ling ran as fast as he could, trying to get rid of the monster. But the monster was too fast, and soon chased him into a canyon.

The canyon was filled with thick mist and howling winds, making people shudder. The monster roared and pounced towards Yang Ling.

Fortunately, Yang Ling had already made preparations. When the monster pounced on him, he flashed and quickly hid to the side.

The monster's huge body slammed into the cliff of the canyon, splashing dust all over the sky. It stood up awkwardly, shook its head, and rushed towards Yang Ling again.

Yang Ling looked at the monster fiercely and faced it fearlessly. He summoned his sword, charged it with energy, and slashed at the monster quickly.

With a "puff" sound, the monster's abdomen was cut open by Yang Ling, and a large amount of blood flowed out.

Yang Ling took the opportunity to quickly leave the monster's attack range. Unable to endure the severe pain, the monster wailed and rolled on the ground, trying to relieve the pain. It stared at Yang Ling with bloodshot eyes, full of ferocity and resentment.

Yang Ling also looked at the monster coldly, releasing a fierce murderous intent from his body.

Yang Ling, holding a sword, slowly walked towards the monster lying on the ground. When the monster saw Yang Ling approaching, it roared to the sky and stood up. It waved its sharp claws and grabbed Yang Ling fiercely. It seemed that everything would collapse under its attack.

However, Yang Ling was not afraid at all. He thrust the sword in his hand straight towards the monster's attack.

There was a muffled "bang" sound, sparks flew everywhere, and the sword in Yang Ling's hand successfully blocked the monster's attack.

The monster failed to hit the target and was instead knocked back several meters. It roared with a fierce light in its eyes.

Seeing this, Yang Ling curled up a cruel smile, raised his sword and attacked.

Under Yang Ling's control, the sword instantly became thicker and shone with purple light.

"Evil beast, die." Yang Ling shouted coldly, and quickly approached the monster. The sword in his hand flashed a cold light and pierced the monster's head.

At this critical moment, a chain condensed from flames suddenly flew over and blocked Yang Ling's attack.

A huge ferocious bird fell from the sky and blocked Yang Ling's sword.

Yang Ling looked up and saw a giant python circling in the sky, staring at him coldly.

The giant python was burning with flames all over its body, emitting a scorching heat. It roared and swooped down towards Yang Ling, slapping him fiercely with its huge claws.

"Humph! Courting death."

Yang Ling looked at the giant python swooping down on him with a cold look on his face.

He clenched the sword and swung it out. There was a dull "bang" sound as the sword and the giant python's claws collided.

A violent wave of air swept out in all directions. The giant python screamed in pain and flew backwards.

Yang Ling stood there motionless. He looked up and happened to meet the eyes of the giant python lying on the ground. The giant python, which stood up again, had cold and ruthless eyes, filled with violent, cruel, and bloodthirsty emotions.

"Wow!"

The giant python hissed, then flew into the air and swooped down towards Yang Ling again.

It wanted to use its sharp claws to tear apart Yang Ling, the tiny human who dared to challenge it.

"call out!"

Yang Ling looked at the giant python swooping down on him with a sarcastic look on his face.

He clenched his right fist suddenly, and a powerful force of thunder and lightning gathered and poured into his fist.

Then Yang Ling punched the python in the belly, using all his strength.

A loud "bang" was heard, followed by a "crack" sound of bones breaking.

The giant python's body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string and fell to the ground, leaving a big hole.

Yang Ling stood there steadily and motionlessly like a towering mountain.

Zhang Minyu watched Yang Ling defeat the giant python in one move and couldn't help but sigh to his teammates: "This guy is quite strong! He resolved the giant python's attack so easily. Yang Ling's strength should not be underestimated!"

Liu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but murmur, "What kind of monster is this? How can it have such powerful physical strength?" Her voice was full of disbelief.

Li Wei frowned and looked at Yang Ling in disbelief and said, "This guy's strength is too terrifying!"

Lin Mu also showed an extremely shocked expression. Although he didn't say anything, his expression said it all.

At this moment, the monster that was injured by Yang Ling secretly got up and planned to launch a sneak attack on Yang Ling.

However, Yang Ling had already noticed its actions. He saw his figure flash and disappear.

The monster that failed in its sneak attack was planning to escape, but it didn't expect Yang Ling to suddenly fly out from the ground. It turned out that he used the earth escape technique to go directly behind the monster and launch a counter-attack.

The monster suddenly turned around after noticing the movement behind it, and saw Yang Ling swinging his fist and hitting the monster's head with a whistling wind.

"Boom~!" With a loud bang, the monster screamed and its head was blown apart by Yang Ling's attack.

A fist-sized demon crystal emitting a glittering green light was seized by Yang Ling.

As soon as Yang Ling got the demon crystal, he put it into his mustard seed space.

Then he looked at Zhang Minyu and others not far away and asked with concern: "Are you okay?" Zhang Minyu and others shook their heads to indicate that they were fine, and at the same time they couldn't help but admire Yang Ling's strength.

"It's okay, but Brother Yang, you are really strong!" Zhang Minyu said with emotion.

Others nodded in agreement.

Yang Ling smiled and said, "I'm glad everyone is alright, let's keep moving forward!"

Li Wei was filled with emotion, and when he looked at Yang Ling, there was a bit more sincere admiration in his eyes.

Zhang Minyu also nodded. He also admired the strength displayed by Yang Ling.

"Haha, it was just luck. Let's look around and see if there are any treasures nearby." Yang Ling said with a smile after hearing everyone's discussion.

"Okay." Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, everyone continued to go deeper into the forest, carefully searching for possible opportunities or treasures. This mountain range is vast and contains countless dangers.

In addition to Yang Ling and his companions, many other people also entered the forest, some for exploration and treasure hunting, and some for hunting monsters. Therefore, several fights would take place in the forest every day.

Yang Ling and his companions had been robbed by two groups of people before, but they finally won the victory with their strong strength. On this day, they were still looking for opportunities in the forest as usual.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure enveloped them. "What kind of pressure is this?" Li Wei and others sensed this terrifying pressure and stopped and looked into the distance.

I saw a huge black shadow coming towards me, covering the sky and blocking out the sun. (End of this chapter)
