Ling Xueyan stared intently at the Iron-Eating Beast and the dying Fire-Scaled Beast before her, and finally realized what was going on.
The reason why Qin Feng appeared in such a hurry to stop him from killing the Fire Kirin Beast was actually this—the Fire Kirin Beast had a trace of the precious bloodline of the divine beast Qilin flowing in its body!
Even more astonishing is that the seemingly adorable iron-eating beast also possesses the bloodline of a divine beast.
If the Iron-Eating Beast successfully devours the Fire-Scaled Beast, it will not only greatly improve the quality of its own bloodline, but its cultivation strength will also soar like a rocket.
It is estimated that once the Iron-Eating Beast completes this devouring and enters a period of slumber, it will be able to break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm at the very least.
Moreover, there is a considerable probability that they can go even further and climb to the Ancient Emperor Realm, or even the Ancestral Emperor Realm!
Thinking of this, Ling Xueyan couldn't help but gasp.
Just then, the Iron-Eating Beast opened its blood-red maw, ready to swallow the defenseless Fire-Scaled Beast whole.
However, at this critical moment, Ling Xueyan suddenly shouted, "Wait!"
The sound was crisp and loud, like a thunderclap exploding in the air.
Upon hearing the shout, the Iron-Eating Beast instinctively turned around and looked at Ling Xueyan.
Its already enormous eyes were now filled with dissatisfaction, but because it was wary of Ling Xueyan's powerful strength, it dared not openly provoke her despite its reluctance.
At the same time, Qin Feng, who was standing to the side, frowned slightly and his face instantly turned gloomy.
He stared intently at Ling Xueyan, his tone unfriendly as he questioned, "What do you want to do? Do you really intend to fight me?"
Faced with Qin Feng's questioning, Ling Xueyan did not back down. She straightened her body, looked Qin Feng with firm eyes, and said slowly, "You haven't promised to let me choose the spiritual herbs first!"
Qin Feng turned his head slightly, casually glancing at Ling Xueyan beside him, before turning his gaze to the enormous and imposing Iron-Eating Beast in front of him, and said, "I'll hold this woman off. Hurry up and devour that Fire-Scaled Beast!"
Upon hearing Qin Feng's command, the Iron-Eating Beast's round eyes flashed with excitement. Without hesitation, it opened its gaping maw, large enough to swallow an elephant, and pounced on the dying Fire-Scaled Beast not far away.
Ling Xueyan witnessed everything that happened before her eyes. Her originally beautiful and charming face was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost, and her beautiful eyes burst forth with a chilling and overwhelming killing intent.
Her delicate body trembled, and the powerful divine energy within her surged wildly like a raging sea, as if the surrounding air had frozen in her anger.
"Qin Feng, do you really think I wouldn't dare to attack you?" Ling Xueyan gritted her teeth, her eyebrows furrowed, and roared angrily at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng's lips curled into a faint smile. He casually looked at Ling Xueyan, whose face was full of anger, and slowly said, "I have never thought that way. If you really want to fight me, then bring it on!"
At this point, a glint flashed in Qin Feng's eyes, and he added, "To be honest, I'd also like to take this opportunity to test just how strong I am now!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a soft "hum" was heard, and a five-colored light suddenly burst forth from Qin Feng's dantian, instantly transforming into a long sword that shimmered with dazzling light and hovered in front of him.
This sword is Qin Feng's natal magic weapon - the Five Elements Sword!
Qin Feng reached out and grasped the sword hilt. With a gentle flick of his wrist, the Five Elements Sword unleashed an incomparably sharp sword aura, pointing directly at Ling Xueyan opposite him. At the same time, he shouted, "Come on! Let's settle this here today!"
Ling Xueyan's beautiful eyes stared straight at Qin Feng, her slender eyebrows furrowed tightly together, forming a distinct "川" (river) shape.
At the same time, her expression was as unpredictable as the weather, sometimes so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water, and sometimes slightly flushed, revealing a hint of barely concealed anger and resentment.
And so, the two stood facing each other in silence, the air around them seemingly frozen.
Time ticked by, and Ling Xueyan finally took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. A deep sense of helplessness appeared on her face, and she sighed softly, saying, "Qin Feng, don't go too far!"
"You know, your mount has already received tremendous benefits. Isn't that enough?"
"Not only that, you will also get a full 40% share of the spiritual herbs in the herb garden!"
"All I wanted was the right to choose the elixirs first, and you wouldn't even grant me such a small request!"
At this point, Ling Xueyan's voice unconsciously rose a little, her tone full of accusation.
"Could it be... that you really think you've got me cornered?"
Ling Xueyan gritted her teeth, a stubborn glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Qin Feng subconsciously touched his nose, and an undisguised embarrassment involuntarily appeared on his previously calm face.
At this moment, he secretly pondered to himself, and had to honestly face reality—his behavior just now was indeed a bit excessive.
It's important to know that if Ling Xueyan hadn't stepped forward at the crucial moment, successfully eliminating those three troublesome enemies and inflicting a heavy blow on the powerful Fire Scale Beast, leaving it severely injured, everything would have been different.
If he were to acquire the Spirit Herb Garden and capture the Fire Kirin Beast all by himself, he would likely have to pay an extremely heavy price, and might even end up severely injured and in a precarious situation.
However, Ling Xueyan only proposed taking 60% of the spiritual herbs and having the right to choose the herbs first.
To be fair, these two demands are not excessive.
After all, she really put in a lot of effort; without her help, Qin Feng would never have been able to achieve his goal so easily.
Unfortunately, the medicinal herbs in that herb garden were extremely precious and rare; each one was priceless.
If Ling Xueyan were to choose first, Qin Feng would naturally be extremely unwilling.
Then, he frowned slightly and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
After a long while, Qin Feng finally seemed to have made up his mind and slowly put down the Five Elements Divine Sword that had been pointing at Ling Xueyan.
Then, he took a deep breath, trying to make his tone as calm as possible, and said in a somewhat consultative tone, "How about... we try a different approach? You can divide the herb garden into two areas."
"All the medicinal herbs in your territory are yours, but you can't touch a single one in my territory!"
"how?"
