Pill Saint, Weapon Emperor, Array God, Unparalleled in the World

Luo Chen tilted his head, looking at Li Ruoshuang's fearful yet stubborn expression, a playful smile playing on his lips.

"This girl has personality, I like her."

He turned his head to the side and tilted it towards the Iron-feathered Vulture behind him.

"However, I prefer my mount. Old eagle, go and eat her; her delicate skin and tender flesh will surely suit your taste."

Crack!

The Iron-Feathered Vulture immediately perked up, stretched its neck, and locked its golden eyes tightly onto Li Ruoshuang.

It strode towards her with its two thick claws.

I even thought to myself, "This owner seems pretty good."

With each step it took, the ground trembled slightly, and it made a low gurgling sound.

Its beak was slightly open, revealing barbed teeth that gleamed coldly in the twilight.

Li Ruoshuang's face turned pale instantly, her legs trembled, and she took several steps back, her voice trembling.

"Sis! Look at him! You have to do something about him—!"

Li Ruoxi's expression also changed. She pulled her younger sister behind her, drew her sword and held it horizontally in front of her, staring at the approaching Iron Feather Vulture. Beads of sweat streamed down her temples.

"Young master! Let's talk this out! Let's talk this out!"

Elder Wan's palms were sweating with anxiety. He pressed his hand against the storage bag, his mind racing with the decision.

This bag contains mission supplies given to me by my family. If I hand it over, I won't be able to explain it when I get back.

But if I lose my life, who will I tell my story to?

He glanced at Elder Hu, who was lying on the ground with a pale face, and then at Luo Chen's smiling face. His last bit of hope sank lower and lower.

Luo Chen slowly called out, "Old Vulture, don't rush to bite."

The vulture retracted its neck and stopped in place, less than three feet away from Li Ruoshuang.

Its golden eyes were still lingering on her, and it lowered its head to lick the tip of its beak, looking as if it hadn't had enough.

Li Ruoshuang's legs went weak, and she leaned against her sister's back, her fingers trembling as she gripped her sister's sleeve.

"Sis...it...it really eats people..."

Li Ruoxi grabbed her sister's wrist with her other hand, her palms sweaty.

She mentally calculated the contents of her storage bag: although there were quite a few items, the most valuable Golden Spear Talisman had already been used up, and the remaining spirit stones and pills didn't amount to much.

If they really fought, even the four of them combined couldn't defeat a spirit beast at the fourth level of Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, there was a master standing opposite them, whose true nature was unknown.

What's the point of having those things if you're dead?

Li Ruoxi closed her eyes briefly, her gaze settling on something.

"Young master, you can have the storage bag, but you must promise to let us leave after you take the items."

She took off the storage bag from her waist, held it in her palm, and handed it out.

Luo Chen took it, nodded in satisfaction, put it in his pocket, and then turned his gaze to Li Ruoshuang.

"and yours?"

Li Ruoshuang huddled behind her sister, her face as white as a sheet, her hand gripping the storage bag tightly and refusing to let go.

"No, this is a resource I've been saving for years."

Luo Chen didn't speak, but tilted his head and glanced at the Iron Feather Vulture.

The vulture immediately understood, stretching its neck forward another half foot, its golden eyes fixed on Li Ruoshuang.

Li Ruoshuang trembled, and tears streamed down her face.

"sister--!"

Li Ruoxi turned around and glanced at her younger sister.

"Is your life more important or your possessions? Give them to him."

Li Ruoshuang bit her lip, cursing inwardly.

But when they met the Iron Feathered Vulture's golden eyes, their legs went weak and they couldn't stand up.

She threw the storage bag forward with her eyes closed, her voice trembling with tears.

"Here you go, here you go!"

Luo Chen reached out and caught it, then stuffed it into his pocket without even looking at it, his gaze falling on Elder Wan.

Elder Wan sighed, took off his own storage bag and offered it with both hands, along with Elder Hu's.

"Young master, these are ours, please be lenient and give them away."

Luo Chen put away the storage bag and glanced at the four people.

"Gentlemen, keep your eyes open when you're out and about. Not just any spirit beast is safe to touch. Goodbye."

After saying that, he flipped over and jumped onto the vulture's back, patting its neck.

"Old Eagle, you're gone."

The Iron-Feathered Vulture stood there without moving, tilting its head to glance at Luo Chen, its golden eyes showing obvious displeasure.

It felt very aggrieved: "They're leaving already?"

She stabbed me with a gun and I almost died. You just accepted a few tattered bags and that was it?

What happened to revenge? Did I suffer all this injury for nothing?

I, a dignified spirit beast with a spirit fire body, almost died in this wretched valley, and you're just going to vent your anger on me like this?

It stiffened its neck and refused to spread its wings.

Luo Chen glanced down at it and urged it with his mind.

The vulture trembled, as if pricked by a needle deep within its soul, and the unwilling thought was instantly suppressed.

It had no choice but to spread its wings, squawk, and take off.

As Luo Chen rode on the back of the vulture, he took out the four storage bags from his pocket and scanned them one by one with his mind.

Li Ruoxi's bag contained the most spirit stones, amounting to about 200,000, along with several bottles of decent-quality pills and two spirit herbs.

Li Ruoshuang's is less, but it's still around 100,000.

The two old men combined were about the same as Li Ruoxi.

All things considered, it is indeed worth five or six hundred thousand spirit stones.

Luo Chen's lips curled up slightly; this trip hadn't been in vain.

He glanced at Li Ruoxi's bag again, then froze.

These clothes...are they close-fitting?

Those few items don't look like they've been washed yet?

He withdrew his thoughts, and some images floated through his mind...

In the canyon, four people were walking briskly along the stream towards the exit.

Elder Wan helped Elder Hu walk at the front, his pace much faster than before, as if afraid that Luo Chen would change his mind and come back.

As Li Ruoshuang walked, she suddenly stopped.

"oops!"

Li Ruoxi turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"

Li Ruoshuang's face flushed red, and she lowered her voice to a whisper.

"Sis, my underwear... is also in that storage bag..."

Li Ruoxi froze upon hearing this, her composure instantly crumbling.

She remembered the underwear she had just changed out of that morning, which was also in the storage bag.

Her pretty face flushed red.

Li Ruoshuang's eyes widened when she saw her sister's expression.

"Sister, yours won't be either..."

Li Ruoxi nodded shyly, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Um."

The two sisters exchanged a glance, and simultaneously thought of the same scene.

What kind of expression will that man have when he opens the storage bag to check the contents?

Will he take those few pieces of clothing and look at them over and over again?

Will I smell the residue left on it? — Enough is enough!

Li Ruoxi shook her head violently, banishing those chaotic thoughts, and grabbed her sister's wrist.

"Let's go! Hurry up and get out of the valley!"

With flushed faces, the two rushed towards the valley entrance at breakneck speed, almost jogging.

Elder Wan was left behind and called out in confusion.

"Ladies? Wait a moment, this old man..."

The night in Lingfeng Valley was gradually left behind.

The four of them finally emerged from the valley and plopped down on a roadside rock, panting heavily.

Li Ruoshuang hugged her knees and buried her face in her arms.

"Sister...I hate him."

Li Ruoxi gazed in the direction of the distant Great Wilderness City, pursing her lips without saying a word.

With a hundred questions in my mind, who exactly is this young master?
