Chen Linxi and Yu Xueying exchanged glances and smiled. Chen Linxi said, "Brother Yi, we all have the same goal, so there's no need for pleasantries. According to our agreement, if we can drive away the beast horde and kill a 500-year-old Innate Spirit Beast, its Innate Neidan will belong to us. "
Yi Zhongtian laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, the Ice Palace is already very grateful to have the three of you help us. We won't covet the Innate Neidan."
He Yiming's heart skipped a beat. Although the Northern Ice Palace had thousands of years of history, and could be said to be a large sect, but for something like a Xiantian Inner Core, no matter which sect it was, it was impossible to have too many of them.
The reason why he gave up the possibility of obtaining the Innate Neidan was to protect the city.
As for the three from the East, their goal was also very clear. If there was no Innate Neidan to attract them, they would naturally not help.
Zhang Bolin's gaze finally shifted to He Yiming. He said in a deep voice, "Brother Yi, this is …"
Yi Zhongtian smiled wryly. Until now, he still did not know He Yiming's identity.
He Yiming smiled and said, "My surname is He. I was passing by this place, so I stayed to take a look." He could not help but laugh when he saw the wary look in Zhang Bolin's and the other two's eyes. "Don't worry, unless a sacred Neidan appears here, I won't take any Innate Neidan no matter how many Innate Neidan there are."
He Yiming's martial cultivation base was far beyond theirs, but He Yiming really could not bring himself to fight with them for the Innate Neidan.
Zhang Bolin and the others were stunned, then they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Since He Yiming had said these words in front of so many people, it was naturally impossible for him to go back on his words.
Zhang Bolin laughed and said, "Brother He, you're joking. I may not be from the Northern Frontier, but I've spent a third of my life there, so I know a little about the temperament of the sacred beasts there." He paused for a moment before he continued, "The Northern Frontier's Saint Beasts are all independent creatures, and it's impossible for them to mingle with other beasts. Therefore, the Saint Beast Inner Core that Brother He is counting on will definitely not appear."
Chen Linxi and the others smiled tacitly. He Yiming had given up on the Innate Neidan, so there was no conflict of interest with them, so they did not insult him.
After all, in their opinion, if a Saint Beast appeared, it would not be a matter of hunting the Saint Beast. Instead, it would be a matter of being hunted by the Saint Beast.
Although Yu Xueying was not young, she was still charming because of her success in cultivation. She nodded at the crowd and said, "This is the first time we've come to the Northern Frontier, and we want to hunt the Innate Neidan. I hope we can get what we want this time."
He Yiming's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Is there anyone in your family who wants to break through to the Innate Realm?"
Yu Xueying nodded slightly, but there was a hint of envy in her eyes when she looked at He Yiming. He had reached the Innate Realm at such a young age, and his future was limitless.
"One of our grandsons is 42 years old this year, and he has reached the peak of Level Ten Internal Force. I want to hunt two Innate Neidan and exchange them for a Golden Elixir at the Grand Divine Wind Palace when we return to Da Shen." Chen Linxi said in a deep voice. There was a hint of pride in his words, and it was obvious that he was very pleased to have a successor in his family.
He Yiming was stunned, and he said, "You can exchange them for a Golden Elixir at the Grand Divine Wind Palace?"
"Brother He, don't you know?" Zhang Bolin said in surprise, "The Grand Divine Wind Palace opened the exchange of Golden Elixirs a thousand years ago. It's just that it's painful to exchange one Golden Elixir for two Innate Neidan."
Chen Linxi laughed involuntarily and said, "Brother Zhang, the Grand Divine Wind Palace's exchange is quite fair. Without the Grand Divine Wind Palace, even if we get two Innate Neidan and spend a lot of money to hire an alchemist, we may not be able to refine two Golden Elixirs."
Yu Xueying also nodded and said, "Even if we refine two Golden Elixirs, the alchemist will have to share one with us. If we fail both times, not only will we not get the Golden Elixir, but we will also have to pay with a lot of precious herbs. "
He Yiming was relieved. The Grand Divine Wind Palace's method was definitely a win-win situation.
For an ordinary alchemist, it was good enough to have a 50% success rate when refining the Golden Elixir. But the Grand Divine Wind Palace was different. There were many Innate Alchemists there. If they did not hesitate to spend a lot of money and let an alchemist with a special talent in refining the Golden Elixir specialize in refining this elixir, the success rate should be more than 70%.
Although this approach was tantamount to cutting off the development of that Xiantian alchemist's future in alchemy, but for a super powerful sect, the benefits of doing so were obvious.
He was slightly moved. If he did this business, the success rate would be higher than Hao Dong and the others. However, he just thought about it for a moment and immediately threw it away.
He Yiming turned his head. Although it was still dark, he could already hear the faint sound coming from the wind.
"Everyone, the giant bears are coming." Yi Zhongtian's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly said, "The giant bear's strength is one of the top few among the beasts in the Northern Borderline. When you fight with the Xiantian giant bear, please be careful. Try not to enter the herd as much as possible. Although they may not be able to hurt you, they are more or less a problem. If you are attacked by the spirit beasts in the herd, the consequences will be quite terrible. "
Zhang Bolin and the others nodded one after another. Their faces were also quite solemn. Obviously, it was not their first time seeing a herd of beasts in the Northern Xinjiang.
On the contrary, He Yiming was quite curious about this. In his heart, he really did not take these beasts seriously.
"Roar …"
A loud roar was heard from afar, followed by the sound of huge footsteps on the ground.
After seeing the strict guards on the city wall, the leader of the giant bears seemed to know that their whereabouts had been exposed, so they no longer tried to hide.
Therefore, the giant bears began to exert their strength. After they sped up, they produced an imposing manner like that of a magnificent army.
Vaguely, this kind of aura spread out and even completely suppressed the aura of the guards on the city wall.
Yi Zhongtian gasped and said, "There seems to be something wrong with these giant bears."
Xu Jun asked, "Brother Yi, what did you notice?"
Yi Zhongtian furrowed his eyebrows and answered, "The leader of this giant bear's group is rather smart. Not only did it order the herd to travel 2 days earlier, but it was also careful and never made a sound when it traveled. Once we noticed it, it immediately gave up on sneaking around and attacked openly … "Yi Zhongtian cursed after a pause," That bastard is too smart. "
Xu Jun and the others looked at each other. Even though Zhang Bolin had traveled in the northern border for half his life, he had always traveled alone or invited a few equal-ranked friends to hunt on the northern border's ice sheet. As such, he avoided large-scale beasts like this like the plague. If it was not because he was being considerate and coveted a few 500-year Neidan spirit beasts, he would not have agreed to it.
Everyone else could not help but tense up when they heard Yi Zhongtian's words. Zhang Bolin asked, "Brother Yi, can you tell what's going on?"
Yi Zhongtian shook his head and answered, "Perhaps the leading giant bear is especially smart."
Only then did everyone relax a little, but the expression on their faces became even more solemn. This was because no matter what, it was not good news.
Yi Zhongtian suddenly glanced in He Yiming's direction. There was something he didn't dare to say just now.
A spirit beast with such intelligence was definitely not to be underestimated. He had never heard of such a smart guy in the Giant Bear Race.
Therefore, when he recalled He Yiming's words, he was suddenly traumatized.
Could it be that there was really a Saint Beast commanding this giant bear troop?
Although Yi Zhongtian had such a terrifying guess, he dared not show it on his face at all. Because he knew that once he said those words, everyone, including Xu Jun, would immediately run away. They would run as far as they could. They would not stop until they completely got rid of the Giant Bear Saint Beast, or until they were killed.
In actuality, even Yi Zhongtian shuddered earlier, and he could not help but want to leave this place right away.
The ice palace once had an iron rule that if a sacred beast was discovered, one must flee as far away as possible to ensure the safety of every Innate Powerhouse.
That said, Yi Zhongtian turned around to look at the town, which he had been stationed in for over 50 years. If he left just like that, what would happen to the town?
He dared not think about it anymore.
All of a sudden, an arm gently patted his shoulder.
Yi Zhongtian looked up in shock and happened to see He Yiming's face, which was full of smiles.
"Do what you need to do, I'm here."
Although this was the most indifferent tone, Yi Zhongtian's heart actually calmed down for some reason when he heard it.
He nodded hard, and the hesitation, timidity, and fear in his eyes completely disappeared.
At this moment, his willpower was incredibly firm. Even if a sacred beast really appeared, he was confident that he could fight it.
That was because someone behind him had made a promise to him. Even though it was just two short words, they were like the morning sun, dispelling the darkness that had enveloped the land and giving him great confidence.
"Rolling stones, hot oil, torches …" Yi Zhongtian's voice echoed throughout the city walls. Under the countless flames, everyone's spirits were lifted. After hearing Yi Zhongtian's high-spirited voice, the hesitation in their eyes gradually faded away. The men of the Northern Borderline's hot blood began to boil on the city walls.
In the dark night, the sound that sounded like the beating of drums and the sound of thousands of soldiers and horses grew louder and louder.
Yi Zhongtian raised a torch and threw it high into the sky with all his might.
Under the illumination of the fire, the silhouettes of the giant bears could be vaguely seen rolling over from afar …
