"That's a good boy!" Lin Yifan was very satisfied.
He didn't want to provoke anyone, but he also wasn't afraid of offending anyone; so it was best not to provoke him.
The arrogant youth Ma Gebi deeply regretted it. If it weren't for the Channeling Herb, he would never have meddled in other people's affairs, but it was all too late now.
Now, he had no choice but to obediently hand over the treasures he possessed.
From the items handed over by these seven people, Lin Yifan didn't find anything valuable, so he questioned, "Is this your most valuable possession?"
"Of course," Ma Gebi replied.
Actually, they still had valuable items they hadn't handed over; however, since they were valuable, of course they couldn't hand them over.
"I don't believe you! Let us search you!" Lin Yifan commanded.
After speaking, he called Li Dafeng and the others to search them together.
Seeing the situation, Ma Gebi panicked and exclaimed, "Big brother! No! We'll do it ourselves! We'll do it ourselves!"
Allowing Lin Yifan and his group to search, they would certainly not leave a single treasure behind; so it was better to do it themselves.
"Then hurry up, don't dilly-dally," Lin Yifan responded.
He knew that this group hadn't handed over their true treasures; a group of cultivators wouldn't consider gold and jewels as treasures.
After stopping Lin Yifan and his group, Ma Gebi immediately ordered his guards to hand over a few Spirit Stones, in an attempt to placate Lin Yifan's group.
"Spirit Stones! My god, that's quite the generous gesture! Now, this is a real treasure," Li Xiaofeng was very satisfied.
He didn't expect that they could gain Spirit Stones just by fighting—it was both lucky and blissful.
"Hmph! Brother Xiaofeng, don't be so easily satisfied. This might just be a part of their Spirit Stones; the real big gesture is still hidden," Lin Yifan reminded.
Since the Ma family didn't want them to search, they certainly had more, or more valuable things; so don't be so easily deceived by them.
"Are you saying they haven't handed over all their treasures?" Li Xiaofeng was surprised, he hadn't expected this result.
If that were the case, then he had really been careless, almost falling for the enemy's trick.
"Yep," Lin Yifan nodded in response.
"Damn it! These guys are really asking for a beating. Asking them twice, and both times they didn't hand over all their treasures, do they really think our patience is limitless?" Li Xiaofeng angrily questioned Ma Gebi and his group.
Ma Gebi was utterly speechless; he thought he could fool everyone, but little did he know, he was still exposed by that disciple from Medicinal Saint Valley; now, he was both resentful and helpless.
"I'm talking to you! Why are you hanging your head?" Li Xiaofeng pointed at Ma Gebi and demanded angrily.
Ma Gebi was infuriated and resentful; no one had ever spoken to him with this attitude before, Li Xiaofeng was the first, pushing his hatred to the breaking point.
Seeing Ma Gebi so infuriated, Lin Yifan found it somewhat amusing. This feeling of being resentful yet helpless was truly frustrating, something he deeply empathized with.
Endurance is a kind of patience, a special forces soldier must withstand torture from the enemy, even if you resent it, you must endure. Once you endure, the skies will clear.
Lin Yanping and Li Dafeng also found it somewhat amusing; they had no sympathy because this group from the Ma Family deserved it.
"No." After holding it in for so long, Ma Gebi finally spat out those two words.
He had ultimately endured it; as the saying goes, as long as the green hills last, there will be wood to burn; the Spirit Stones were gone, but they could be slowly found again; without a life, there would be nothing left.
"No, then why don't you quickly hand over all the treasures? Do we really need to kill and plunder?" Li Xiaofeng asked impatiently.
"Brother! I am wrong, okay? I will hand over all our treasures to you right now," Ma Gebi earnestly apologized.
Now that deceiving their way through was no longer feasible, they could only painfully part with their treasures. Given the choice between life and treasures, they would not hesitate to choose their treasures; although even in resignation, there was still reluctance.
After a while, Ma Gebi handed over all their treasures.
Lin Yifan and others received the bag, then opened it to see, indeed finding many treasures inside. In addition to Spirit Stones, there were also some rare medicinal herbs, and some healing Elixirs.
Looking at these treasures, Lin Yifan nodded satisfactorily; he felt that these should be all the treasures these people had; after all, they were present during the search and believed the other party couldn't have tampered with anything.
"Alright! You can leave now!" Lin Yifan said.
With the treasures in hand, this group was now useless, so they let them go.
Only after they received the command to leave did Ma Gebi depart unwillingly, crestfallen.
Today, he truly bled heavily, transitioning in an instant from carefree to needing to economize scrupulously.
They too had come searching for the thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng; in this primitive forest overgrown with weeds and plagued with mosquitoes, they had to use a bit of their Cultivation Power daily to deal with these challenges; now without Spirit Stones as a source of power, it would truly be difficult to continue searching here.
After walking a distance, Ma Gebi gritted his teeth and inquired to the guard by his side, "Damn it! Who are those people? Did you find anything out?"
Even now, he still couldn't believe Lin Yifan was a disciple of the Medicinal Saint Valley; disciples of the Medicinal Saint Valley were all Alchemists who never left home, so how could they possibly come all the way to Jiminia's Jiminy Primitive Forest in Feizhou? It seemed far-fetched.
"Reporting to the young master, we...we didn't find anything," the guard answered timidly, afraid of being scolded by Ma Gebi.
However, typically, such an answer would lead to scolding; hence, Ma Gebi cursed, "A bunch of incompetents! Can't even recognize their Martial Arts, and yet you have been in the Cultivation World for decades."
"..." The guards fumed silently. If it wasn't for your stupid decisions to seize the Channeling Herb, would we have ended up in this situation? Unable to fight back and still getting scolded, truly "Ma Gebi."
Meanwhile, having acquired their spoils of war, Lin Yifan and his group started to divide the spoils among themselves.
"There are really so many fools these days, actually bringing treasures right to our door; well, they can't blame us for not being polite," Lin Yifan remarked contemptuously while picking up the treasures.
"Brother Lin, which Palm Technique do you practice? How come it's so powerful?" Li Dafeng curiously inquired.
The palm strike just now had truly shocked him; he had not expected Lin Yifan to be such a dark horse, and now he found this Alchemist even more unfathomable.
"It's a secret, don't ask too much," Lin Yifan replied succinctly.
How could he dare reveal matters regarding the Witchcraft Palm? It was something that could bring fatal calamity; absolutely not to be disclosed.
Li Dafeng did not inquire further. Every Cultivator has his own Unique Martial Arts, and these Unique Martial Arts are not to be disclosed, just like the Swordsmanship they practiced, which they would absolutely not reveal to others unless permitted by their Master.
