第三千八百五十三章 感激与礼物

By this point, all four Heavenly Outland Demon Lords had fallen. There were no escapees, and Lin Xuan's pursuit was considered a success. A satisfied smile appeared on his face as he emitted a layer of green light and flew back along the same path.

A distance of over ten million miles passed in an instant. Soon enough, Lin Xuan saw the towering city walls of Yueyue City.

However, just at this moment, colorful spiritual lights filled the sky densely, creating a magnificent scene. Countless cultivators were flying towards him under the guidance of the palace-dressed woman and the bald monk.

The scale was so vast that it was hard to describe in words.

Lin Xuan's face couldn't help but show a hint of surprise as he narrowed his eyes and hovered in place.

The swift flight stopped about a hundred feet in front of Lin Xuan. Two Golden Transcendence cultivators led the way, bowing deeply before him: "Mortals from Yueyue City, thank you for your righteous assistance. This great favor will be remembered by us forever."

Their voices echoed through the heavens as their expressions were filled with gratitude.

"Friends, there's no need to be so formal. As fellow humans, how could I sit idly by when such a scene unfolded before my eyes? What happened earlier was merely a small effort," Lin Xuan said calmly.

"But for you, it was a matter of life and death, a second chance at survival. Any gratitude is justified, which is why this grand courtesy should be accepted," the palace-dressed woman's melodious voice echoed as she and the bald monk bowed three times before him.

The two Golden Transcendence elders behaved similarly, but the rest of the cultivators dared not show any disrespect, bowing deeply in front of Lin Xuan.

Seeing this scene, a wry smile appeared on Lin Xuan's face. He didn't dare to stop them, as refusing would only cause them anxiety.

Thus, surrounded by these many cultivators, Lin Xuan entered Yueyue City.

The traces of the battle were still evident, and the joyful atmosphere was palpable everywhere.

Surviving this ordeal, how could their hearts not be filled with joy?

Lin Xuan's entry into the city was met with thunderous applause. He received the highest honors and was welcomed into a splendid hall within Yueyue City.

Most of the cultivators had already dispersed, leaving only about ten people behind.

Apart from the two Golden Transcendence elders, the rest were late-stage Spirit Formation cultivators.

These were the strongest combatants in Yueyue City. However, they showed extreme respect to Lin Xuan, not daring to breathe a word.

While he was their savior, many powerful old monsters had unpredictable tempers. Accidentally angering one of them could be disastrous.

"Enough, friends, there's no need for such formality. I am not someone who changes moods easily," Lin Xuan said with a smile. Although the cultivators tried to hide it, their nervous expressions were hard to conceal. Lin Xuan chuckled and spoke thusly.

The cultivators exchanged glances, feeling somewhat awkward. Fortunately, at this moment, a beautiful maid arrived with fragrant tea. They then took their seats according to rank.

Only Lin Xuan and the two Golden Transcendence elders had chairs; the rest of the Spirit Formation cultivators stood respectfully beside them.

"Your high cultivation must have allowed you to travel far. This small place is simple, offering nothing much in return. However, this lunar spirit tea is quite excellent. If you don't mind, I urge you to try a few cups."

The palace-dressed woman served the tea herself as she spoke. As a Golden Transcendence cultivator, she could have treated Lin Xuan as an equal, but given his life-saving favor and his unmatched power, she chose to show respect by serving him.

"Ah, if you recommend it so highly, I must indeed taste it."

Lin Xuan smiled and accepted the tea cup. The liquid was amber-colored with a rich aroma.

Sure enough, this wasn't ordinary!

Another sip left a lingering flavor in his mouth. A pure essence of qi flowed through his meridians to his dantian, making him realize that this wasn't just any spirit tea but a kind of elixir that could boost one's cultivation and improve the body.

Though its effects on Lin Xuan were minimal, it was still remarkable from a taste perspective.

"Thank you for your kindness. This lunar spirit tea blooms only once every century, with limited production—just a few dozen pounds. That's why there aren't many left in the city, but I've had them all brought here."

The palace-dressed woman clapped her hands, and the sound of footsteps approached. A beautiful maid arrived, kneeling before Lin Xuan as she held up a tray with two storage bags.

"Your great favor is beyond our ability to repay. This bag on the left contains over a hundred pounds of lunar spirit tea. The one on the right includes some goods. I know these cannot fully express my gratitude, but they are meant to show our sincerity. Please do not refuse."

"Mmm."

Lin Xuan nodded. According to the saying, no reward for no merit, yet he indeed had great favors to repay Yueyue City. If he refused, they might feel anxious.

Thus, Lin Xuan extended his hand, and the storage bags flew into it as if guided by eyes.

He released a portion of his divine sense and couldn't help but show surprise on his face.

Though he had anticipated such generous gifts, the quantity of top-grade crystals and materials far exceeded expectations.

Yueyue City truly lived up to its reputation as the first powerful city in Fenghen. The generosity was indeed impressive.

"Thank you for your good intentions. I humbly accept."

Lin Xuan's smile echoed through the hall as he accepted the gifts, visibly relieving everyone present, including the palace-dressed woman.

Then, the bald monk spoke: "May I ask why you came to Yueyue City? If we can be of any service, please don't hesitate. We will do anything in our power."

His words were cleverly worded, and Lin Xuan couldn't help but smile. He likely wanted to know his background but avoided direct questions.

In fact, he wasn't so petty; they didn't need to be so nervous.
