After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 61: Counting the Loot in the Far North
His head hit the ground and was quickly buried in the wind and snow.

She pressed her advantage, drawing her sword and unleashing a series of sword techniques, continuously releasing overlapping bursts of internal energy, striking the same spot on the ice armor.

—Click, click!

The ice armor shattered.

The three-headed frost python let out a painful hiss, its remaining two heads frantically spewing frost, its body thrashing and its tail lashing wildly.

While dodging the attacks, Lin Yan unleashed several sword energies, striking the broken parts of the ice armor. The Frost Python retaliated fiercely, but the Crimson Enchantress held it firmly with her claws, gripping the unprotected areas. The claws were deeply embedded, and the Frost Python was unable to break free for a time.

She leaped into the air, attacking two of the three-headed frost serpent's heads with her sword, while simultaneously casting a binding talisman with her other hand. In the far north, explosive and thunderous talismans weren't very effective against the frost serpent; the weight-bearing and binding talismans worked quite well.

Finally, through a combined attack with the Crimson Enchantress, she severed two of the three-headed frost python's heads, and the Crimson Enchantress also ripped out the frost python's heart. Lin Yan didn't forget to finish it off, stabbing it several more times.

Some monsters can survive without a head, but the real danger lies in the Three-Headed Frost Python suddenly awakening some ability, which could launch a sneak attack even if it's not truly dead. Only after confirming that it was absolutely dead did they take out the bottle used to store monsters and put the corpse inside.

The Crimson Demon's leg was injured, and after transforming back into a little rabbit, it was listless and lethargic. I carried it back to the cave and examined it with my spiritual power; its forelimbs were severely injured. Ironically, this misfortune slightly increased its bloodline awakening level.

She took out some healing pills and fed them to it, which eased its injuries somewhat. The Crimson Enchantress blinked wearily, then fell asleep in her arms.

Lin Yan took out a basket from her storage bag, put the little rabbit inside, and then took out a small blanket to cover it. She placed the basket on the ground and began to check other people's storage bags.

None of the ten-man squad they wiped out used a Thousand Treasures Storage Bag; they were all at the Hundred Treasures level. Their leader, however, used the best storage bag, which had two hundred compartments.

Erase all the spiritual imprints on the storage bags, move all the items out and sort them, put the ones you keep on one side and the ones you sell on the other.

They had done their homework in the far north and were fairly well prepared. Each person had two sets of protective robes for the cold and wind; they weren't high-grade, but when used with elixirs, they were enough to ward off the cold.

Most of the talismans, pills, and magical treasures were of the first or second grade and were not numerous, their types indicating they were prepared according to the conditions of the far north. Only the greatsword of the leading cultivator was a third-grade magical treasure.

Sigh~ What a disappointment! These ten people were the poorest she had ever scoured, even poorer than the cultivators sent by the flower-selling organization to kill her! Not a single item of theirs was worth keeping for herself. She would pack everything into her storage bag and sell it all at the merchant guild in town, keeping nothing for herself.

After checking the storage bags of the ten-person team, it's time to deal with the storage bags of the two prodigies of the Xuantian Sect.

Their storage bags looked quite high-end. They were treasure storage bags, complete with pendants made of fine mutton-fat jade. After removing the spiritual imprint from the storage bags, the contents were taken out.

Regardless of the type of storage bag, she treated them all the same, counting the items on the ground.

These two people's storage bags were far more impressive. They contained everything imaginable, including cultivation manuals, magic weapons, pills, talismans, and spirit stones. Among the pills, talismans, and magic weapons, none were of the first grade; the most common quality was second grade. They were many times richer than the ten-person team.

As expected of a highly valued disciple of a sect, and as expected of a member of the main character group, he is incredibly wealthy, making others envious!
Lin Yan was previously worried about intermediate-level pill formulas, but now she doesn't need to. Pei Huai mainly cultivates alchemy; his storage bag contains pill manuals, formulas, and a considerable amount of alchemy materials. He probably didn't expect to die in the far north and wanted to start refining pills outside.

Collect what you can keep; sell the rest on the black market. Selling the belongings of sect members through the merchant guild will easily leave a trace. ...

The next day, heavy snow was still falling in the far north, but the wind wasn't as strong. After erasing the traces of their overnight stay in the cave and removing the barrier, they continued their journey carrying the Crimson Enchantress.

After the wind subsided, I dared to fly on my sword again. Protected by a barrier, the falling snow and the blowing wind did not affect me.

The spirit sword said it was a noble heavenly-grade magic weapon and didn't want to be trampled underfoot, so it used a fifth-grade sword as its means of transportation.

The innkeeper said that many cultivators had come to explore the far north, but apart from the ten-person team he had dealt with, he hadn't seen any other teams on his long journey to the northeast corner. He hadn't even seen a single person, let alone a team.

It's not that I want to travel with others, it's just that I'm not used to the uneventful time. Without any gains, I feel uneasy all over.

The good weather was short-lived. Soon, the cold winds of the far north intensified, whipping up snow and causing avalanches on the mountainsides, sweeping down with overwhelming force. Lin Yan had no choice but to fly higher on her sword to avoid being affected by the avalanches.

A piercing cry accompanied by the howling of the cold wind rang out. She knew something was wrong, quickly landed, sheathed her sword, and sought shelter. A giant white eagle flew by, its talons gripping a single-headed frost python.

This is the rare demonic beast Snow Frost Eagle. Don't be fooled by its elegant and pleasant name; it is extremely ferocious, prefers cold environments, and is a rare omnivorous demonic beast. It mainly feeds on snakes and beasts, but also eats other meats, such as the flesh of cultivators.

In the far north, aerial combat is disadvantageous, and he doesn't want to confront these kinds of monsters. He has strong principles: if he can win, he will fight; if he can't, he won't show himself. He won't let himself get injured for no reason, and if he is injured, he has to get something in return.

After watching the large bird fly away, he finally poked his body out. Just as he was about to leave, a big, fat creature with fluffy fur poked its head out of the snowdrift, its eyes meeting his. Their eyes met.

Huh? What's this thing? I've never seen it in the monster encyclopedia. It looks quite unique, with a pointed beak, a big head, and a chubby body. Its fur is a dull gray, somewhat resembling a baby owl.

"Chiji~"

Hearing the cry, Lin Yan understood. It was an unknown bird or beast, which was normal since she had never seen it before. The cub should have parents nearby, but she wondered what level of demonic beast the little thing's parents were.

Facing two birds and beasts in the far north, she had no advantage and it was best to leave quickly, lest the birds and beasts come looking for her and attack her.

Lin Yan patted the snow off her clothes, picked up the rabbit, and hurried away. After a while, she realized something was wrong and turned around. The little guy was chasing after her on its two thin, short legs, supporting its round body. It couldn't stop in time and rolled forward for a distance.

Did this little gadget try to scam me?

She wasn't used to adopting small animals and was afraid its parents would misunderstand and think she was stealing their cub, potentially leading to a fight. She took out a few cherry-sized spirit fruits from her storage bag and threw them over. Seeing that the cub's attention was drawn to them, she quickly ran away.

Hey hey, please vote for me! I've been busy cutting oranges and chopping black sugarcane lately, so I've only skimmed through my drafts. Please point out any typos. I'll correct them when I see them. If you don't correct them, you can come and beat me up online.
