"Meow~ Gao Yang, are we just leaving like this?"

Milofina perched on Gao Yang's shoulder, tilting her head and looking at him with some confusion, asking a question.

Gao Yang hummed in agreement, then casually said, "The Great Trade Federation isn't very strong. Rather than annihilating the entire Great Trade Federation, this solution is better for the Immortal Wasteland."

It won't appear too domineering, yet it will still showcase the strength and methods of the Immortal Wasteland.

On this continent, until one's strength reaches an invincible level, one still needs to abide by the rules of the game.

"This feels so troublesome."

After hearing Gao Yang's explanation, Milofina glanced at him impatiently and said, "Why do you humans always think so much? I don't understand."

Gao Yang remained silent. The existence of rules has both advantages and disadvantages. When one's strength is insufficient to override the rules, one must abide by them.

Of course, if he were a lone wolf, then with his current strength, he could also trample on the rules and do whatever he wanted.

After a moment, he continued, "This operation has gone smoothly enough, and I don't have much time to waste here, after all, I still have a death match to participate in."

“Oh, right. By the way, Gao Yang, how long do you plan to continue the Gladiator's Summit?” Milofina looked at Gao Yang and asked again.

"At the very least, we should fight against Meteorite Sacred Heart."

A fighting spirit surged in Gao Yang's eyes. He was looking forward to this battle and was working hard to prepare for it.

Upon hearing this, Milofina countered, "The Fallen Saint Heart? Is that the powerful friend who is most likely an immortal legend?"

"Yes."

Gao Yang nodded seriously.

“This is no joke.” Milofina tilted her head to think for a moment, then looked at Gao Yang and said.

Gao Yang said with a smile, "Of course I know, that's why I'm making the most of my time to improve myself."

Seeing this, Milofina stopped talking and instead yawned, looking a little bored, and took out a small dried fish to savor.

Gao Yang said no more and turned to fly towards the Immortal Wasteland.

The matter of the Great Trade Federation has been resolved, and it is believed that news of what happened here will spread to other forces on the Kovale Continent in a very short time.

If those forces still intend to assassinate him, they need to consider the consequences if the assassination fails.

After all, the Great Trade Federation is a living example, and other forces should know what to do if they don't want to follow in its footsteps.

During the flight, Gao Yang opened his palm, and in his palm lay a blood-red, irregular crystal, no bigger than a walnut.

"Gao Yang, what is this?" Milofina craned her neck, staring at the blood-red crystal in Gao Yang's palm, and asked with great curiosity.

“Life Essence Crystal, an item that can be directly absorbed to strengthen one’s own life essence.” Gao Yang’s voice was calm.

Milofina's eyes lit up for a moment, then she asked with concern, "That's a good thing, but is it even useful for legendary powerhouses?"

Gao Yang nodded slightly and, under Milofina's gaze, said, "This was condensed from the life of a legendary expert, and only those with legendary strength can absorb it. Those below the legendary level would most likely not be able to withstand it."

Milofina asked curiously, "What would happen if you couldn't handle it?"

Gao Yang clenched his fist, then suddenly opened it, making a soft "Bang!" sound at the same time.

Milofina shrank back, then looked at Gao Yang somewhat awkwardly and asked, "Gao Yang, how many of these crystals do you have?"

Gao Yang's lips curled slightly as he tossed the crystal of life essence into the air.

The latter traced a parabola and struck Milofina precisely on the head.

"Ouch!"

Milofina covered her head with one paw, then swiftly scooped up the Life Essence Crystal with her other paw, before looking gratefully at Gao Yang:
"Thank you, Gao Yang. I plan to go back to my hometown and bring this to my grandmother."

Mina's grandmother suffered a hidden injury during an adventure in her early years, which damaged her vital essence; hopefully this will be effective for her.

Gao Yang was somewhat surprised to hear this, but he quickly said, "I hope it works. If it does, remember to bring the Life Essence Crystal to Mina's grandmother for me when I obtain it later."

"Meow~ Gao Yang, you're so kind. Grandma Mina will be so happy." Milofina was very excited.

Gao Yang took out another Life Origin Crystal and enveloped it with his battle qi.

As the battle qi came into contact with the crystal, the originally hard crystal quickly liquefied and mixed into the battle qi, which was then rapidly absorbed into Gao Yang's body.

Then, a vigorous and pure life force burst forth from Gao Yang's body.

This feeling is somewhat similar to the increase in life essence gained with each level up, but compared to the increase brought by leveling up, the current intensity is much weaker.

In just a moment, Gao Yang had absorbed all the pure life essence in this crystal of life essence.

After carefully sensing it, Gao Yang opened his eyes and nodded slightly with great satisfaction.

A single Life Essence Crystal increased his Life Essence by 2.8%, which is already a very good increase. Gao Yang estimated that if a typical legendary expert used this Life Essence Crystal, the increase would be around 8% to 10%.

However, because his own life essence volume far exceeds that of ordinary legendary powerhouses, the improvement does not seem to be too great.

"How are you feeling, Gao Yang?" Milofina asked as soon as Gao Yang opened his eyes.

"Not bad, it should be effective for Mina's grandmother." Gao Yang nodded, then cautioned, "The life essence within is too pure. If Mina's grandmother absorbs it, she must not absorb it all at once."

“I understand.” Milofina nodded quickly.

After two days, Gao Yang brought Milofina back to the Immortal Wasteland.

During the journey, Gao Yang also refined another crystal of the origin of life.

The two Life Essence Crystals increased his Life Essence by 5.5%, which is a very good increase.

If the life essence crystals condensed by the hunting priests are all life essence crystals, then Gao Yang estimates that his life essence will grow to an unbelievable level.

As for the benefits of a stronger life force, the most basic one is that it results in greater vitality and higher quality of life.

Of course, for many powerful individuals with limited lifespans, the most important thing is to extend their lifespan.

This is actually the least significant point for Gao Yang at present.

Gao Yang flew all the way to the sky above the mountains and forests behind the Immortal Temple, and then saw Lisa with her hands folded in front of her lower abdomen in the center of the training ground. Today, Lisa had braided her fine silver hair into a single braid, which was wrapped around her left shoulder and hung down in front of her chest, giving her a very virtuous wife and loving mother feel.

Upon seeing Gao Yang's return, Lisa's beautiful face blossomed into a radiant smile.

When Gao Yang landed in front of her, Lisa looked him up and down. Seeing that he had no wounds, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay, don't worry."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he walked towards the villa, with Lisa following beside him.

"Lisa, don't worry, Gao Yang won't get hurt with me here. This time we easily killed three legends."

Milofina jumped onto Lisa's shoulder and whispered proudly in her ear.

Lisa stopped abruptly, looking at Milofina in surprise, her heart pounding again.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yang continued walking without stopping and casually explained, "The murderer has been found. It was the Great Transaction Federation that did it, and they have paid the price they deserved."

Don't worry, nothing like what happened last time will repeat itself.

Upon hearing this, Lisa continued walking with Gao Yang, reaching out to grasp his large hand, "Thank you for your hard work, Yu."

Feeling the softness in his hand, Gao Yang shook his head slightly and said, "This kind of thing must be done right the first time, otherwise there will definitely be more trouble later."

Lisa nodded in agreement.

“We’ll head to Shanin in the next couple of days. The celebration for the offspring of the Shanin Archmage should be starting soon, right?” Gao Yang said casually.

Lisa said, "Seven days is enough. I've already sent Sophia with the gifts to Shanin. She should arrive in about two more days."

"Shain? Is it fun? Can I come with you?"

Milofina listened to Gao Yang and Lisa's conversation and asked a series of questions in quick succession.

Lisa smiled, reached out and tickled Milofina, and said, "Of course we can go together. Shain is a very peculiar city, where many magicians live."

"Really? Are there as many mages as on the frozen winter plains?" Milofina tilted her head, looking at Lisa with a very innocent expression.

Now it was Lisa's turn to be confused. She turned to look at Gao Yang, wondering where the Frozen Ice Plains that Milofina had mentioned was, and what it looked like.

Seeing this, Gao Yang explained, "The Frosty Ice Plains is where the Heart of the Ocean is produced. A large number of Frosty Winter Mages live there, and they are very powerful."

If we really compare them, the Winter Mages should be stronger.

As for numbers, Shani still has more mages.

The Rosell plane is, after all, just a large plane, and the difference between it and a plane like Eberron is still enormous. Therefore, in terms of numbers, Rosell cannot compare with Eberron.

After Gao Yang finished speaking, Milofina looked at Lisa and said, "Meow, let's go to the Frozen Icefield together sometime. There's a really good barbecue place in Frozen City. I'll treat you to it then."

Lisa smiled and said, "Thank you so much!"

"Leave it to me!"

Milofina proudly raised her little head, almost pounding her chest with her fists.

Gao Yang and Lisa exchanged a glance, both seeing a smile in each other's eyes.

For some reason, Lisa suddenly felt a little envious of those in her tribe who were able to have children.

If she and Gao Yang had a child, it would probably be as lively and adorable as Milofina.
