Chapter 205 Unknown Soul Power Intensity
Qin Zhen believed he had a decent understanding of Qin Bei.
As for how he would deal with Peng Yuan, the newly acquired subordinate, he wasn’t too sure.
Perhaps if Peng Yuan returned and Qin Bei saw him, Qin Bei would offer some kind of compensation.
Or maybe he would just wave it off indifferently.
Of course, he could also be absolutely furious.
However, considering that the one behind this was the Ling family, it probably wouldn’t create too much of a ruckus.
After all, they already had quite a bit of enmity with the Ling family; as long as it wasn’t a life-or-death struggle, people typically don’t fuss over such matters.
But things were different now.
Ling Tianyi and the others actually dared to covet Qin Bei’s opportunities.
What was this?
Wasn’t this just asking for death?
If the opportunity were really snatched away, let alone in the royal tomb, even if Ling Tianyi hid in the Ling family’s ancestral hall, Qin Bei would dare to storm in and create havoc.
This is what Qin Zhen had come to learn about Qin Bei over time.
He was definitely like a tiger whose bottom you shouldn’t poke.
And this Ling Tianyi? He managed to mess up everything he shouldn’t have.
“Qin Zhen, this matter has nothing to do with you. I can let the person go, but these things have already been reserved, so you can’t take them away.”
Ling Tianyi narrowed his eyes, staring straight at Qin Zhen.
He didn’t explain directly, but it should be obvious to Qin Zhen if he thought about it.
There definitely had to be some involvement from Qin Xiu in this matter.
“No matter who is pulling the strings, hand over the goods, and the person can leave. I’m saving you!”
Qin Zhen didn’t waste any more breath.
For someone of his caliber, dealing with these folks was merely a casual wave of a hand.
With a flick of his wrist, the Cosmos Bag that Ling Tianyi had seized found its way back to Qin Zhen’s possession.
“Qin Zhen! You!”
The opportunity that had been snatched away was reclaimed by Qin Zhen just like that, causing Ling Tianyi to fume.
Had it been Qin Bei, a prince in the Golden Core realm, standing before him, Ling Tianyi would have dared to strike.
But the individual before him was Qin Zhen.
A Tribulation Realm cultivator.
Not someone he could challenge.
“You’ll realize in the future that I’m saving your life! Now hurry up and get out of the royal tomb.”
With that, Qin Zhen left a parting remark and turned, bringing the seriously injured Peng Yuan toward the center position.
“Brother Tian, are we just going to let him walk away with the stuff?!”
A bunch of disgruntled individuals left behind asked incredulously.
Ling Tianyi was also raging at this moment, his fists clenched tightly.
But the last vestige of reason told him not to engage with Qin Zhen.
“What do you want us to do? Should we go up and fight Qin Zhen ourselves?” Ling Tianyi retorted disdainfully.
“But he just walked away with the soul beads like that! I can’t accept this!”
“Whether you accept it or not, you better keep it to yourself!”
“Then should we leave the royal tomb now? It’s not far from the center, and if Peng Yuan goes back and Prince Bei comes looking for us, what then?”
There were timid ones among his subordinates, still fearful of Qin Bei’s fearsome reputation.
So, they thought it might be better to run since they hadn’t succeeded anyways.
“Run! Run! Run! Run back to your mother! Are we really so scared of a Gold Core cultivator like Qin Bei?”
Ling Tianyi raised a hand to smack the one who spoke.
“But… but Prince Bei has two wives, and they’re both at Nascent Soul stage,” one of them stammered.
Ling Tianyi: …
“Do you really have to remind me? Let me tell you! There’s nothing to fear! I don’t believe he would dare do anything to me! I have the Ling family and Prince Xiu backing me! Qin Bei is alone, and his biggest card is Prince Sanyin, but he has no real power. Why should I fear him?”
Ling Tianyi said all this with bravado.
But in his heart, he had different thoughts.
That is, the inner circle of the royal tomb was about to open.
The starting time was limited. If Qin Bei wanted to come after him, then he wouldn’t even get a chance to enter the inner circle.
He didn’t believe Qin Bei would forfeit the chance to enter the inner circle just for an injured Peng Yuan.
After all, he was just a subordinate.
Moreover, Peng Yuan was merely a temporary subordinate.
To Ling Tianyi, he was just a dog on a temporary leash.
Absolutely no need to get worked up over it.
He believed Qin Bei probably felt the same way.
They were all of noble status, after all, and their ways of thinking wouldn’t differ too much.
So Ling Tianyi confidently led the group to continue searching for the remaining opportunities.
Though there were fewer, they were still useful to them.
Leave the royal tomb? That was out of the question.
As for entering the inner circle of the royal tomb…
Ling Tianyi had considered it before, but now…
He thought it would probably be best not to hand Qin Bei an easy target.
…
At the center of the outer royal tomb.
Qin Bei had been in a state of cultivation for quite a while.
Although they didn’t know what he was up to, everyone watched Qin Bei with envious eyes.
Because just moments ago, in the short span of half an hour, Qin Bei had experienced uncontrolled soul power not once, but twice.
This was originally a bit dangerous, but Qin Bei had dealt with it easily.
Of course, what everyone envied wasn’t the danger itself, but the dramatically different displays of strength during those two moments of uncontrolled soul power.
In just half an hour, his strength had nearly doubled.
To those surrounding him, this seemed like a fantasy, yet it was happening right before their eyes.
Moreover, it was evident that Qin Bei’s soul power was boosted even more than that.
By this point, everyone finally understood why Qin Bei was willing to forgo the vast wealth brought by the soul beads and instead chose to use them to enhance his own strength.
Any cultivator would envy such a boost.
Dong~
Dong~
Dong~
Suddenly, the sound of a bell resonated where the boundary monument stood.
When the three bell tolls rang, it indicated the official opening of the inner circle of the royal tomb.
The time allowed to enter the royal tomb was merely half an hour, which translates into one hour total.
If you don’t step into the inner circle within that half hour, then participating in this royal tomb trial becomes impossible.
“Quick, quick, quick! Time to go in!”
“If you want to go in, just go. I’ll wait a bit longer.”
“Yeah, just go in alone. We’re not ready for that yet.”
…
The inner circle opened, yet no one was moving to enter.
The reason? They wanted to see just how far Qin Bei could enhance his soul power.
Gossiping, you know.
At this moment, Qin Bei was also aware of the situation outside.
The absorption of soul power had entered its final step.
Looking at the vague little figure in his mind, Qin Bei poured all of his soul power into it once more.
Ultimately, this little soul figure became clearly defined.
A closer look revealed that it was a mini version of himself.
This, indeed, was the Nascent Soul that Qin Bei had condensed.
Or rather, it could be called a Soul Nascent Soul, which was completely different from ordinary cultivators.
Without even having crossed into the realm of the Nascent Soul, Qin Bei possessed his own Nascent Soul.
That was absolutely unprecedented.
As for Qin Bei? He wasn’t particularly surprised.
After all, 120,000 sixth-tier soul beads aren’t just for show.
With all that massive soul power absorbed, he achieved this because he extracted only the purest essence.
Huh~
Qin Bei exhaled lightly and opened his eyes.
At that moment, every soul bead he had spent was undeniably worth it.
