In fact, Xiao Lingyu was secretly rejoicing that he had chosen to save Qi Rui. Otherwise, not only would he not be able to gain the other cultivator's favor, but he would also be hated and retaliated against.
The other cultivator arrived just in time. If Xiao Lingyu had just left, he would've most likely met this person.
"I'm Qi Hongqing, and this is my cousin, Qi Hongrui. Thank you for saving us this time. Both of us can't thank you enough." The sword-wielding cultivator who had just arrived put away his long sword and cupped his fists towards Xiao Lingyu as he spoke sincerely.
"You're from Kun City's Qi Clan?" Xiao Lingyu asked in surprise.
Qi Hongqing first shook his head, then nodded and explained, "We're from the Qi Clan, but not from Kun City. We're from Du Hu City. The Qi Clan of Kun City is actually a branch of the Qi Clan of Du Hu City. Their branch was banished to Kun City because they made a mistake in the past."
"Oh." Xiao Lingyu suddenly understood and didn't ask any more questions.
Xiao Lingyu didn't say anything else. Qi Hongqing naturally wouldn't take the initiative to reveal any secrets. Everyone waited quietly in the cave.
The Raging Flame Group didn't come looking for them, so it was very difficult for them to find this place. There were countless Heavenly Deity Stage beasts in this forest, and the Raging Flame Group only had a hundred people. It was impossible for them to spread out and search a large area.
The reason Qi Hongqing was able to arrive so quickly was definitely because Qi Hongrui had been constantly sending messages to Qi Hongqing on the way, or the two of them could sense each other's location through some special magic treasures or spells.
When the sky was bright, Qi Hongrui woke up in the medicinal bath. His injuries were basically stable.
"This is?" Qi Hongrui looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked in confusion.
"This is the benefactor who saved your life. Quickly get up and thank him." Qi Hongqing solemnly said.
Qi Hongrui was very obedient and immediately stood up from the bathtub. Before he could thank him, he discovered that he was still naked. He immediately felt very rude and quickly put on a long robe.
"Haha, there's no need to be so polite. Even if I didn't save you, Brother Hongqing would've arrived in time. Naturally, he could've saved you." Xiao Lingyu waved his hand and smiled.
"I haven't asked for our benefactor's name." Qi Hongqing changed the topic.
"Xiao Lingyu." Xiao Lingyu truthfully. He wasn't a famous person in the God Realm, so he didn't care if others knew his name.
"Brother Xiao's medicine is truly extraordinary. Hongrui's injuries were so severe, yet he was able to recover in just one night. Truly amazing," Qi Hongqing praised.
Xiao Lingyu only smiled faintly and didn't reply.
"This medicinal decoction must be of extraordinary value. Hong Rui cannot take advantage of you for free. Benefactor, please name a price. Hong Rui will …"
.....
Qi Hongqing didn't even wait for Qi Hongrui to finish speaking before he cursed and said, "Brother Xiao acted in a righteous manner to save me, so how could he possibly ask for your Divine Stones as repayment?"
Qi Hongrui was stunned. Then, he nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes. I was reckless."
Although their cultivations were similar, Qi Hongrui seemed to be very respectful to Qi Hongqing. Perhaps it was because of the difference in age.
Qi Hongqing added, "However, putting aside the debt of gratitude for saving our lives for now, we brothers can't take Brother Xiao's medicinal decoctions for free. Here are some divine stones. Although the number is not large, it can reduce Brother Xiao's losses."
As he spoke, Qi Hongqing forcefully shoved a storage bag into Xiao Lingyu's hands.
In the end, they still had to give him divine stones. However, this made it easier for Xiao Lingyu to accept these divine stones. It also showed that Qi Hongqing was very good with words.
Xiao Lingyu didn't care about divine stones. He didn't expect the two of them to give him divine stones. However, since they were given to him, he naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, he'd spent a lot of divine stones to buy those materials. Moreover, he'd spent a lot of effort hunting for those materials.
However, when Xiao Lingyu glanced at the number of Divine Level Stones in the Storage bag, his expression couldn't help but change slightly, because the Storage bag was actually filled with Divine Level Stones, and almost all of them were High Grade Divine Level Stones.
Qi Hongqing and Qi Hongrui noticed the change in Xiao Lingyu's expression. They stared at Xiao Lingyu with narrowed eyes.
"So many divine stones. It's enough for me to buy a dozen or so portions of materials to make the medicine. I can't take too much."
After Xiao Lingyu said that, he casually took out about a tenth of the divine stones from the storage pouch. Then, he returned the storage pouch to Qi Hongqing and said, "It's fate that we met. Since it's fate, I naturally won't care about the life-saving grace, much less the number of divine stones."
Qi Hongqing and Qi Hongrui both nodded in satisfaction. Their faces were filled with admiration and admiration.
"Now that Brother Hongrui's injuries are stable, I have other things to do, so I'll take my leave for now."
After Xiao Lingyu bid farewell, he jumped onto Foodie's back and let it gallop towards the forest.
Qi Hongqing and Qi Hongrui didn't ask him to stay. Instead, they only sent him to the entrance of the cave.
"This person is quite intelligent. He's very experienced in speaking and doing things. He's probably someone with a lot of experience." Qi Hongqing narrowed his eyes and said.
"I really don't understand. You gave him so many divine stones. Why did he return most of them?" Qi Hongrui asked in confusion.
"There are three reasons. First, this person isn't greedy. Second, it didn't cost much to make the medicine. Third, he was worried that we would attack him because he took too many divine stones." Qi Hongqing said calmly.
"I can understand the first two reasons. But since we were willing to give him so many divine stones, why would we attack him? If we don't want to give it to him, we can just not give it to him. Why would we give it to him first and then snatch it back? "Qi Hongrui still didn't quite understand.
"Hehe, your thinking has always been very simple." Qi Hongqing shook his head and laughed. He didn't explain further.
"What's wrong with being simple? It's so refreshing to be straightforward." Qi Hongrui said indifferently.
"It's because your thinking is too simple that you fell into the Raging Flame Group's trap and almost lost your life. You have to remember, you may be simple, but not everyone is as simple as you. You were lucky enough to survive this time, but you may not be so lucky next time. The family sent us to help the Kun City's Qi Family. We can't lose our lives before we even make any achievements. "Qi Hongqing lectured.
Qi Hongrui pouted his lips, unconvinced. But he didn't argue. Instead, he said in confusion, "I really don't understand. The Kun City's Qi Family has been abandoned by the family for many years. Why would they send people to help them? Wouldn't it be better to let them fend for themselves?"
"Hehe, this matter is very complicated. It's not something you can understand with your brain. But I can tell you one thing. The Kun City's Qi Family is very lucky. They found a new mine, and it's rich in minerals. So, they attracted the attention of the family … Of course, even without this new mine, the Kun City's Qi Family will soon return to the family. The two of us are just small characters in the family. This time, we just need to complete the mission. "Qi Hongqing explained with a smile.
"Since they want to help the Kun City's Qi Family, why didn't the family send some experts over? Why did they send us, the younger generation, to suffer?" Qi Hongrui complained.
"If the Kun City's Qi Family wants to return to the family, they will definitely want to make some achievements. If the family gives them too much support, their contribution to the new mine will naturally be reduced. This is something that the Kun City's Qi Family and some of the elders in the family don't want to see. So, they can only send us, the younger generation, over." Qi Hongqing explained patiently.
Although Qi Hongrui's brain was relatively simple, there were some things that needed to be understood. Otherwise, he would do something that would affect the overall situation.
"Then what are we here for?" Qi Hongrui asked.
"Hehe, just listen to me." Qi Hongqing said with a smile.
At this time, Xiao Lingyu had already invited the foodie back. Because he had obtained a large amount of unexpected wealth, he was finally generous to the foodie again. He directly gave the foodie dozens of Heavenly God Stage demonic beasts for him to eat.
However, before the foodie started eating, Xiao Lingyu warned him not to eat too much at once. Otherwise, he would fall into a deep sleep. The foodie naturally listened to Xiao Lingyu's words and did not dare to disobey.
Although he had only taken a tenth of the divine stones in Qi Hongqing's storage pouch, there were still close to fifty thousand high grade divine stones, which was equivalent to five million mid grade divine stones.
Xiao Lingyu had hunted for over three hundred Heavenly God Stage demonic beasts over the past few years. If he sold all of them, he would be able to obtain about three million mid grade divine stones.
This amount of divine stones seemed like a lot, but in reality, it was only enough to buy a house in Kun City.
Not to mention an ordinary Great Divinity Stage cultivator, even a Heavenly Divinity Stage hunter could not have Xiao Lingyu's hunting speed. In fact, even the Raging Flame Group could not compare to Xiao Lingyu's efficiency. After all, they had many people, and the probability of casualties was also high. Once someone died, they would have to take out a large number of God Stones to compensate the deceased's family.
Most importantly, most of the Raging Flame Group's income would be given to the Kong Clan. It would not be divided equally among the members.
After leaving the forest, Xiao Lingyu first stopped at the entrance of the Hunter's Home. Seeing that his name was not on the Kong Clan's wanted list, he felt slightly relieved.
Then, he entered the Hunter's Home. He pricked up his ears to listen to the discussions of the hunters. He did not hear any news that was disadvantageous to him.
From the looks of it, the Kong Clan did not see him as an enemy. After all, he did not kill anyone from the Kong Clan, nor did he become an enemy of the Kong Clan. The Kong Clan had no reason or need to arrest him.
After eating and drinking at the Hunter's Home, Xiao Lingyu headed back to Kun City.
Just like the last time, he first exchanged his harvest for divine stones. Then, he walked around the city and collected some materials that were useful to him.
Suddenly, one day, Xiao Lingyu's heart stirred. He quickly rushed to the square in the city where the missions were issued.
Those missions carved on the stone tablets in the square, as long as someone completed them, would activate the soul imprint of the cultivator who issued the mission. This would notify the cultivator who issued the mission that the mission was completed.
