Suppressing the pain in his body, Xiao Lingyu stabilized his body. His Divine Telekinesis quickly gave orders to the four phantom monsters, telling them to surround and attack the Night Demon powerhouse that had just arrived.
At the same time, the eight-legged monster charged towards the Night Demon expert with bright white flames.
What Xiao Lingyu did not expect was that the Night Demon expert, who had just arrived, would immediately turn around and flee when he saw that he was unable to snatch the storage Dharma treasure of his fellow Night Demon expert. He had no intention of fighting with him and the human elder.
The human elder said to Xiao Lingyu in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist, we have to leave quickly!"
Xiao Lingyu clutched his bleeding chest and put away all his Dharma treasures. However, the Eight-Legged Taichi Cauldron was still in its eight-legged monster form. Xiao Lingyu could not restore it to its original form in a short period of time.
The human elder did not care about Xiao Lingyu's life. Although he was also injured, he still wrapped Xiao Lingyu with his power and flew away with him at full speed.
As for the eight-legged monster, its flying speed was enough to keep up with the human elder.
The Saint Gods of the Night Demons had just lost one and injured another. It was likely that they would not be able to gather together to hunt down Xiao Lingyu and his companion in a short period of time.
However, for the sake of caution, the human elder still flew at full speed for four hours before stopping.
"How are your injuries?" The human elder asked with a frown.
"I can't hold on for much longer. I have to find a place to cultivate in seclusion and recuperate," Xiao Lingyu said with a pale face.
"Let's do it here. I will protect you." The human elder nodded.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist." Xiao Lingyu shook his fist weakly and said politely.
They were in a mountain forest. Xiao Lingyu randomly chose a cave and sat down cross-legged.
First, he calmed himself down and adjusted himself. Then, he took out a small jade bottle.
There were three pills in the jade bottle. Xiao Lingyu poured one out and hesitated for a moment before putting it into his mouth.
These three pills were given to Xiao Lingyu by Chiyou. They were all sacred pills that could save her life.
Just now, Xiao Lingyu was hit by a Holy God expert. If it wasn't for his body being comparable to a top grade divine tool, he would have lost his life.
The black streak of light struck his chest. Even though he tried his best to suppress the injury and recover, his chest was still badly mutilated.
The higher the quality of one's physical body, the harder it would be to recover from a serious injury.
With such a heavy injury, it would be difficult to recover by just relying on the transformation of the physical body. Xiao Lingyu had no choice but to swallow a divine elixir.
The Divine Elixir melted as soon as it entered her mouth, and its medicinal power spread throughout Xiao Lingyu's body.
As expected of a Divine Pill, Xiao Lingyu could feel her pain disappearing as soon as the effects of the pill spread. She felt as if she was soaking in a hot spring.
New flesh was gradually growing out of the terrifying wound on her chest. Her broken veins were also gradually reconnecting under the effect of the powerful medicinal power.
In less than four hours, the wound on Xiao Lingyu's chest had disappeared. Not even a scar was left behind.
However, even a Divine Elixir couldn't heal Xiao Lingyu's heavy injuries in such a short time. The effects of the pill only stabilized his injuries and nourished his injured Nascent Soul.
The medicinal power of the Divine Elixir wasn't limited to that. In fact, only thirty percent of its medicinal power had been released. The remaining seventy percent still needed some time to slowly disperse.
If this Divine Elixir completely dispersed its medicinal power in an instant, it wouldn't be a Divine Elixir anymore. It would be a powerful bomb.
At this time, Xiao Lingyu made another tub of medicinal soup and used the transformation of his body to speed up his recovery.
Nearly half a year had passed. Xiao Lingyu finally stabilized his condition and recovered seventy percent of his strength.
"I didn't expect the human race to have such a young powerhouse like you."
Seeing that Xiao Lingyu had come out of seclusion, the human elder smiled and said.
"I was just a little lucky," Xiao Lingyu said humbly.
"Don't be so humble. I've lived for a long time, and I'm quite good at judging people. You've definitely cultivated for less than fifty million years. I've stayed in the God Realm for countless years, but I've never seen anyone with a cultivation speed comparable to yours. "The human elder shook his head.
"Since you think so highly of me, could you …"
"Haha, I'll take this. I never intended to take it all for myself."
Before Xiao Lingyu could finish, the human elder had already taken out the Night Demon Saint God's storage ring and said, "There are many good things in here. We worked together to kill the enemy, so we should split them equally."
Xiao Lingyu waved his hand and said, "You can have all the other treasures. I only want the Eight-Faced Exquisite Sacred Fruit."
The human elder said, "Why don't you take a look at the things inside before you make your decision?"
Xiao Lingyu took the storage ring and sank his consciousness into it. His face changed immediately.
The space within the storage ring was extremely huge. It was like a vast expanse of space. Not to mention the other things, just the mountain range of Divine Crystals piled up within it was enough to stun Xiao Lingyu.
There were so many divine crystals, at least a few hundred million pieces!
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu finally understood why the Night Demon Saint God was so generous when bidding for the Eight-Faced Exquisite Sacred Fruit.
Other than divine crystals, there were many magic treasures, elixirs, and cultivation resources in the storage ring. With Xiao Lingyu's insight, he could tell that many of the cultivation resources in the storage ring came from the human race.
"If we were to appraise the items in this storage ring, I feel like they're worth at least two billion divine crystals. The Eight-faced Exquisite Holy Fruit that you're looking for is only worth around 20,000,000 to 30,000,000 divine crystals," the elderly man reminded in a kind manner.
Xiao Lingyu withdrew his consciousness and said, "Other than the Eight-faced Exquisite Holy Fruit, Elder Brother can give Little Brother some of the rest as you see fit."
The human elder chuckled when he heard Xiao Lingyu's attempt to curry favor with him. The human elder had already begun to take Xiao Lingyu seriously. In his opinion, the strength that Xiao Lingyu had displayed in the previous battle was already comparable to an ordinary Saint God expert.
"Since you were willing to fight the Saint God for the Eight-Faced Exquisite Sacred Fruit, it is clear that it is extremely important to you. I originally wanted it as well, but I gave it to you in the end. As for the other items, we can split them equally, "the human elder said generously.
"There are two saint artifacts here. Shall we take one each?" Xiao Lingyu asked.
"One each," the human elder indifferently replied.
Since the two of them were straightforward people, there was naturally no problem in splitting the spoils. However, there were just too many items in the storage ring. Even though the two of them had high cultivation bases, it still took them a whole day to finish splitting the spoils.
"Brother, you already have many saint artifacts. In addition to these countless divine crystals and other treasures, you are even richer than many Saint Gods," said the human elder.
"Brother is a Saint God expert, so you already have the wealth that a Saint God should have. In addition to what you have gained today, won't you be even richer?" Xiao Lingyu replied with a smile.
"Haha!"
The human elder laughed heartily. Although his mental fortitude was extremely high and he was unaffected by external factors, anyone would find it difficult to suppress their joy after picking up such great benefits.
"This little brother is Xiao Lingyu. How should I address you?" Xiao Lingyu continued to worm his way into being friends.
"I am Cui Yue. Brother Xiao can just call me brother Cui in the future," the human elder replied.
"Brother, where do you usually cultivate?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"Kongrong Mountain. It is in the easternmost part of the Weiyuan Region. It is adjacent to the Yong An Region," Cui Yue replied.
"Haha, then when you have time, I'll come and have some tea with you," Xiao Lingyu said with an expectant expression.
"Alright, alright," Cui Yue replied with three 'alright' in a row, looking very welcoming.
"Brother Cui, how many Saint Gods do we have in the narrow sense of the God Realm?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"I know of four. If you include brother, then it will be five," Cui Yue replied.
"How many demons do we have?" Xiao Lingyu continued to ask.
"The demons probably have a bit more Saint Gods. There should be six," Cui Yue replied after thinking for a moment.
"Our human race has a bit too few Saint Gods," Xiao Lingyu said.
Xiao Lingyu had seen many foreign races with more than five Saint Gods during his travels in the God Realm. There were even some foreign races with more than ten Saint Gods.
"Haha, actually, our human race has quite a few Saint Gods. It is just that many of them have cultivated to the late stage of the Saint God Realm before heading to the Heaven Reaching Saint Island. Brother, you should know of the existence of the Heaven Reaching Saint Island, right? "Cui Yue shook his head and smiled.
"I know a bit."
Xiao Lingyu nodded and replied. "Then how is the relationship between brother Cui and that Old Man Dugu?"
Cui Yue frowned slightly and asked instead of answering, "How is your relationship with him?"
Xiao Lingyu replied straightforwardly, "Our relationship is not that good. We have only met once."
Cui Yue pondered for a moment and said, "Old Man Dugu is very strong. However, like other sword cultivators, he is especially arrogant and even a little condescending. Basically, he does not have a good relationship with most of the human race's Saint Gods. What everyone hates about him is not his temper, but that he is not as arrogant as other sword cultivators. He does not care about external things and prefers to collect rare treasures. He even fights with the human race's Saint Gods for some treasures. Even the experts of the demon race are wary of him. "
That's good!
Xiao Lingyu praised inwardly. He was worried that Old Man Dugu would have helpers.
"If brother Xiao has a grudge with that Old Man Dugu, I advise you to avoid him. Before I came to the Night Demons to participate in the auction, I heard that Old Man Dugu had already broken through to the seventh level of the Heaven Sword Arts and his strength has improved greatly. In the past, that old monster and I were barely able to fight to a draw. Now, in an ordinary fight, he should have the upper hand. However, if we really go all out and he is seriously injured, he should be able to kill a Sacred God like me. "
Cui Yue could tell from Xiao Lingyu's expression that the relationship between Xiao Lingyu and Old Man Dugu was definitely not good.
