Chapter 360 Do you know why I didn't kill you?
At that moment, the giant python noticed Qin Chuan. Its scarlet snake eyes scrutinized Qin Chuan carefully, gradually becoming wary, clearly realizing that Qin Chuan was the dangerous one.
Ignoring Yin Ying who was right in front of him, the massive body suddenly twisted and pounced straight at Qin Chuan, its blood-red maw opening wide as if to swallow Qin Chuan whole.
"retreat!"
Qin Chuan remained motionless, uttering only one word. His eyes were utterly calm, yet his body emanated an extremely terrifying aura.
Whether it's an animal or a spirit beast that has already gained intelligence, they all have a keen sense of danger. Although Qin Chuan didn't make a move, just one glance was enough for the giant python to know that this was an extremely terrifying person, someone it couldn't afford to provoke.
In an instant, the massive body that had been pouncing forward suddenly froze, abruptly stopping in mid-air.
The giant python glanced back at the spirit spring, its eyes surging with intense resentment. That was its territory, which it had occupied for many years, and it also contained the spirit spring and the soul crystal. How could it easily give up?
But if he continued to attack this human in front of him, he would most likely be killed.
Finally, the giant python let out a low, frustrated roar, its massive body slowly retreating, turning back every few steps, filled with reluctance to leave the spiritual spring and apprehension towards Qin Chuan.
Gradually, it disappeared into the jungle...
"It...it's just gone like that?" Yin Ying came to her senses, her face full of disbelief.
The giant python was about to swallow Qin Chuan whole, so why did it suddenly stop? She was a little confused, but since the python had run away, it was naturally a happy thing.
After letting out a deep breath, Yin Ying began to settle scores and questioned Qin Chuan.
"Why didn't you protect me just now? I was almost swallowed by this giant python. I was originally going to remember your contribution, but your performance has disappointed me too much. I won't give you a single piece of the treasure here..."
Yin Ying wanted to say a few more words of reprimand, but she stopped abruptly before she could finish speaking, because when she met Qin Chuan's eyes, she was so frightened that she took several steps back.
What kind of eyes were those? They seemed calm, yet they gleamed with a chilling light. Just one glance was enough to instill fear in one's very bones.
Qin Chuan ignored Yin Ying and punched the spiritual spring. The spiritual energy burst forth, transforming into a fist that blasted the spiritual spring apart. At this moment, the rich and pure soul power was also released.
The soul crystal was the size of a fist and emitted a faint blue light.
Qin Chuan reached out and grabbed at the air, and the soul crystal appeared in his palm.
For martial artists on Earth, Soul Crystals serve only two purposes: first, to enhance their cultivation level.
The Soul Crystal absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth year-round and is also nurtured in the spiritual spring, enough to allow an eighth-realm martial artist to break through to the ninth realm.
The second purpose is to forge a top-tier magical artifact. However, looking at the martial arts world on Earth, there are probably very few magical artifact masters who can completely refine a soul crystal into a magical artifact.
For Qin Chuan, this was the best cultivation resource for his innate Dao body.
"A Soul Crystal! It really is a Soul Crystal!"
Yin Ying, standing to the side, was already extremely excited: "I order you to hand over the Soul Crystal to me; my Yin Sect wants it!"
All that hardship was for this Soul Crystal, wasn't it?
With the Soul Crystal, her strength could achieve a significant breakthrough.
"A mere Yin Sect dares to try and take Soul Crystals from me?" Qin Chuan said disdainfully.
"How...how dare you?" Yin Ying was furious.
The Yin Sect is a major sect. It's one thing for the Hongmen to think it's a minor sect, but you, some nobody who just popped up out of nowhere, dare to say such things.
So far, Yin Ying has not realized Qin Chuan's terrifying strength.
There was nothing she could do; her strength was too weak. In her opinion, the two previous members of the Hongmen were at most at the peak of the eighth realm, and they were just skilled in manipulation.
The person in front of us is at most at the ninth realm. Although ninth-realm martial artists are called "land immortals" in the martial arts world, they are still far inferior to the Yin Sect.
Therefore, this Holy Maiden of the Yin Sect completely disregarded Qin Chuan.
After obtaining the Soul Crystal, Qin Chuan did not rush to absorb it, but instead grabbed Yin Ying and left the valley.
As for the spiritual spring, Qin Chuan had no intention of absorbing it. With his current strength at the Core Formation stage, even if he absorbed all of the spiritual spring, it would be of no use.
However, he discovered that this spiritual spring nurtured many spiritual herbs and beasts.
If we come back in a few years, these spiritual herbs will mature and can be used to refine higher-grade pills. As for these spiritual beasts, they can be refined into spiritual pets.
"Mr. Qin?"
After coming out, he met Xu Weiwei, who was waiting for him.
It didn't take Qin Chuan long from entering the valley to reappearing; it wasn't even an hour.
Qin Chuan glanced back at the East Mountain Valley. He knew that since the Yin Sect and the Hongmen were able to enter, it meant they already knew how to get into the valley.
Therefore, Qin Chuan reinforced this natural formation. As long as the martial artists on Earth are not above the Divine Realm, they will not be able to break this formation.
Even those above the Divine Realm would have to pay a considerable price to break the formation.
"You'd better hand over the Soul Crystal to me, or the Yin Sect will not let you off!" Yin Ying said angrily.
Qin Chuan completely ignored her and took the two women back to the Xu family home in Donghai City.
"Mr. Qin, who is this?" Xu Linzhou asked with some surprise upon seeing Yin Ying.
"I am Yin Ying, the Holy Maiden of the Yin Sect!"
Yin Ying introduced herself arrogantly: "You'd better have your friend hand over the Soul Crystal to me, otherwise, if the Yin Sect is enraged, blood will flow for miles!"
Yin Sect?
Xu Linzhou's expression immediately changed. The Xu family was, after all, a martial arts family, so how could they not know about the Yin Sect? This was an extremely powerful sect in the Dragon Kingdom.
"Mr. Qin, the Yin Sect's strength is terrifying..." Xu Linzhou lowered his voice, wanting to remind Qin Chuan.
Although Qin Chuan was very strong and was still known as a legend of his time, the Yin Sect was not a small sect after all.
Qin Chuan didn't care at all: "It's just a Yin Sect, why bother with it?"
"How dare you!" Yin Ying said viciously, "In the entire Dragon Kingdom, who dares to say that our Yin Sect is a small, insignificant sect?"
"Let me tell you, if you don't hand over the Soul Crystal, the Yin Sect will tear you to pieces!!!"
"And you all..."
As she spoke, she swept her gaze over everyone in the Xu family and said, word by word, "They! All! Must! Die!"
The Xu family members couldn't help but shiver.
They were just ordinary martial arts families, and their level was extremely low. How could they dare to provoke the Yin Sect? They were doomed.
Do you know why I didn't kill you?
Just then, Qin Chuan's voice slowly rang out.
"Hehe, isn't it just because you're afraid of the Yin Sect?" Yin Ying said matter-of-factly.
In her view, Qin Chuan saved her only because he wanted to please her or the Yin Sect.
"Afraid of the Yin Sect?" Qin Chuan's eyes narrowed slightly. "You overestimate the Yin Sect and underestimate my strength."
"The reason I haven't killed you is because I need you to take me to the Yin Sect!"
