Just when Lin Xi said she wanted to return to the Spirit Grassland, the Second Elder's expression told Lin Xi that his request was a little powerless.

"How about this! "Foreign Dignitary Lin, your spirit grass treasure has already been received by the family. I can use other things to exchange for spirit essence stones, weapons, and so on. As long as I can do it, everything is fine!" Ling Dong thought for a while before replying.

When Lin Xi heard this, she realized that there really wasn't any more hope. Since the other party had given her a way out, she might as well rely on it. Since she didn't dare to use it anyway, she might as well exchange it for some spirit essence stones, "I'll give you a hundred thousand spirit essence stones!" Lin Xi didn't just casually mention it. He felt that at this price, they should bear the burden, and his things were also worth the price.

Hearing this price, the Second Elder felt a cold wind blow across his face, "Fine! A hundred thousand! However, right now, there was no way for him to redeem so many spirit essence stones. In fact, even Venerable Lin couldn't afford to bring so many with him! I'll pay thirty thousand first. As for the other things, I'll pay ten thousand per month.

"Thirty thousand then! But I want to go back to the clan! " Lin Xi was still very worried about Ling Xiaoxia's safety.

"Haha ~ I've come here to bring Guest Warrior Lin back to the clan!" Ling Dong was relieved when he saw that Lin Xi did not intend to increase the price.

"Let's set off tomorrow morning! "Foreign Dignitary Lin, do you still remember that you promised to fight in my clan's younger generation?" Ling Dong told Lin Xi as they walked out.

Lin Xi just nodded, but didn't say anything, because he noticed that there was a huge beast skin hanging on it. It was the Back Splitting Gorilla's skin.

"Could it be that the cracked gorilla that chased me here was killed by the protection team? It seems like I did the right thing when I was not impulsive! " Lin Xi thought about it and felt a sense of relief.

However, he did not forget that at that time, he could only run when facing the three back cracking gorillas. In this clan protection team, the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators could not even withstand the trembling of the gorillas, they could only fight the Core Formation stage cultivators.

However, this point shocked Lin Xi. Even a late Core Formation cultivator would need at least twenty people to kill a peak Second Order gorilla. The three gorillas also had 60 late stage Core Formation cultivators. Could it be that there were still a few Void Prying Stage cultivators here?

It seemed that he had really underestimated the strength of the Ling family!

With his previous imprisonment, he could only take revenge on Ling Dan after he knew about the Ling family's background. Who knew if he could be shamed? If he knew that he didn't die and found a few false stage cultivators, wouldn't he be finished first?

Thinking of this, Lin Xi could not help but feel a little cold. She really felt that this Ling family was no less than a wolf's nest. Lin Xi had temporarily decided that as long as he could see Ling Xiaoxia once, as long as she was fine, and find an opportunity to settle the score between him and Ling Dan, he would not care about the matters of the Ling family anymore.

Just as Lin Xi was thinking about this, she had already been brought to a decent room by Ling Dong. There was no need to ask, this was definitely prepared for her. Lin Xi entered the room without any trace of politeness, and there were even delicious dishes on the table in the middle of the room. Lin Xi had been locked in there for so long and had long grown tired of eating vegetables, how could she resist the temptation of eating delicious food!

While Lin Xi wolfed down the food, she didn't notice Ling Dong and the others who were beside her and had already left. Soon after Lin Xi finished eating, a few clan members carried five bags that were as tall as half a person. Lin Xi opened them and was a little excited to see so many spirit stones.

"Foreign Dignitary, here are 30,000 spirit essence stones. We will be leaving after handing in the mission!" One of them said.

Lin Xi still hadn't recovered from her excitement, so she just casually waved her hand to let them leave. After everyone had left, Lin Xi impatiently opened all the bags and scattered the spirit essence stones on the ground.

He then sat cross-legged, adjusting his own Qi and circulating his cultivation technique. He didn't know if it was because of the mountain mist or something else, but there was a thin layer of mist on the surface of the spirit essence stones, constantly moving towards Lin Xi.

Lin Xi absorbed the highest amount of spiritual energy. Soon, the spiritual energy in her dantian was full. Then, Lin Xi started to break through the meridians that needed to be opened.

Time slowly passed. Lin Xi did the same work over and over again, opening all the meridians one by one. Lin Xi continued in this state until dawn of the next day. Although she had plenty of spirit essence stones, she was unwilling to let Ling Dong and the others see him cultivate.

Right now, Lin Xi was about to touch the edge of the large success stage of Ghostly Body, but time didn't wait for him.

This place was shrouded in mountain mist, but light could still penetrate through it. Lin Xi withdrew from cultivation, only replenishing the spiritual energy in her dantian and tidying up the spirit essence stones that still had spiritual energy in them.

This number scared him. Yesterday afternoon and last night, he had spent more than twenty thousand spirit essence stones to open four meridians. What kind of speed was this? If he reached the Great Perfection Stage in the future, wouldn't he have too many spirit essence stones?!

Lin Xi shook his head helplessly.

Just when Lin Xi finished cleaning the room and was resting comfortably on the bed for a while, a knock on the door caused a ruckus in the sleepy Lin Xi.

"Foreign Dignitary Lin, it's getting late. It's time to head back to the clan!" It was Ling Dong's voice.

"Alright! Second Elder, we'll set off immediately and take my spirit essence stones with us. Lin Xi merely opened the door with a smile.

"I have long since ordered someone to prepare a horse carriage. If nothing unexpected happens, it will take at least a day to arrive at the Ling Family. Lin Guike can rest assured that the spirit stones will belong to someone else!" Ling Dong said to Lin Xi with a smile, there were eight strong men behind him.

It seemed like these people were here to help him get spirit essence stones, so Lin Xi didn't stop them from entering the room.

In front of Ling Dong and the others, when they only had spirit essence stones that were half a person's height, they looked at each other in dismay. How could the amount of spirit stones that they sent for the previous day be so little?

He also knew that Lin Xi would use spirit essence stones to cultivate, which was why she had brought so few people with her. However, this spirit stone was simply too little. Ling Dong knew that even if he did not have enough spiritual qi to replenish his body, he would only have used 2,000 pieces of it. He did not believe that Lin Xi had used so much energy to cultivate.

After the second elder had given his instructions, they got into two separate carriages. The journey was bumpy and bumpy, but Lin Xi didn't even glance at them as he quietly opened up his meridians.

Lin Xi didn't dare to cultivate too obviously. Instead, she took out some spirit essence stones from time to time to replenish the spiritual energy that she had consumed, and finally broke through one of them. At this moment, the bumpiness of the carriage had lessened, and he could hear the voices of the passersby outside the carriage.

Lin Xi asked the horse carriage driver and found out that he would arrive at the Ling family in two hours. When he thought that he was about to meet Xiao Xia, he really didn't know what to say to her!

"Should we talk about the fight with the wild beasts in the Elephant Mountain, or talk about how we encountered the Ling Family's Spirit Earth Mining Area, not talk about the things that Liang Xue'er saved us. What if she gets angry?" Lin Xi thought to herself as she simulated the scene of the two of them meeting in her mind. She even looked forward to what kind of clothes Ling Xiaoxia was wearing.

As she thought about it, the carriage stopped. Lin Xi stuck her head out to see what had happened.

The two big red words of the Ling Family were deeply engraved on the stone tablet. The Ling family had arrived, and horses were forbidden within the family, so he could only enter.
