"Old Master Shangguan is too polite. I heard that your granddaughter personally went to Beishan this time and obtained many medicinal materials that others could not find."
"Can this statement be confirmed?"
Yang Yong narrowed his eyes and asked Shangguan Xiong.
Although his words were a question, the aggressive aura they carried made Shangguan Xiong feel displeased.
"Yes, the forest rangers in Beishan are my old subordinates. Those medicinal materials were found by him in some hidden caves."
Shangguan Xiong did not conceal the truth.
It had to be said that the medicinal materials Shangguan Ling'er bought were indeed top-notch.
If it weren't for the relationship between comrades, such high-quality medicinal materials would likely be impossible to buy even with money!
"That's right. Patriarch Shangguan, I've come today to acquire these medicinal materials."
"Name your price, I want them all!"
After receiving Shangguan Xiong's affirmative reply, Yang Yong became excited.
The spiritual energy in the world was now declining, and aged medicinal materials were becoming increasingly rare. If he could obtain all these medicinal materials this time, breaking through to the Qi Refining stage would be just around the corner!
"So that's how it is."
Upon hearing Yang Yong's request, Shangguan Xiong finally understood.
"Guest cultivator Yang, if it were any other time, I would certainly be willing to sell these medicinal materials to you."
"But now, it's really impossible. I've already given these medicinal materials to a friend."
Shangguan Xiong replied to Yang Yong with a helpless expression.
"What? Given away? How is that possible?"
"Your convoy carrying the medicinal materials entered the underground garage and never came out. How could the medicinal materials have been given away?"
Before Yang Yong could say anything upon hearing Shangguan Xiong's words, Hao Shan couldn't help but interject.
This was a joke. He had been personally following Shangguan Ling'er's convoy for the past few days and knew the situation firsthand.
"Oh? Master Hao, since when did you become a private detective?"
Seeing Hao Shan's indignant look, Shangguan Xiong revealed a hint of coldness.
"That's enough, Patriarch Shangguan. I am determined to get these medicinal materials."
"If you are sensible, hand over the medicinal materials honestly."
"I offer twenty million for these medicinal materials."
"If you refuse, don't blame me for being impolite to your Shangguan family!"
At this moment, Yang Yong's temper had been thoroughly ignited, and he began to threaten them directly.
He had snuck out of the Liu family this time precisely for these medicinal materials.
How dare a small family from Hangcheng defy the orders of a dignified cultivator like him?
"Guest cultivator Yang, these medicinal materials have indeed been given away, and there is no deception whatsoever."
Seeing Yang Yong's outburst, although Shangguan Xiong was also very angry, he patiently explained.
As a veteran who had been on the battlefield, he could sense that Yang Yong was not simple.
He possessed an aura similar to Lin Chen's, and it was clear that their Shangguan family could not afford to offend this person!
"Hmph! If they were given away, then go and get them back. Are you worried that I can't afford to pay?"
Yang Yong snorted coldly, acting unreasonably persistent.
"Heh heh heh, medicinal materials worth one hundred and thirty million, and you want to buy them for twenty million? Why don't you just rob them?"
Shangguan Ling'er, standing beside them, finally couldn't hold back and retorted angrily.
The preciousness of these medicinal materials was by no means quantifiable by money. If not for her grandfather's connections, others would have to pay double the price to buy them.
But this Yang Yong was simply too much!
"What? Does the Shangguan family have some misunderstanding about me?"
At this moment, Yang Yong was utterly enraged, and a chilling killing intent emanated from him.
"Let me tell you, if you hand over the medicinal materials today, I will give your Shangguan family an opportunity to ascend to the heavens!"
Looking at Shangguan Ling'er, who was stunning in both appearance and figure, Yang Yong's throat moved, and he swallowed hard.
"Oh? An opportunity to ascend to the heavens?"
Upon hearing Yang Yong's words, Shangguan Xiong couldn't help but feel a touch of curiosity.
"Exactly. As long as you hand over the medicinal materials, I, Yang Yong, am willing to marry your granddaughter and make her my dual cultivation partner. At that time, she will be a cultivator above all others!"
"Tell me, isn't this an opportunity to ascend to the heavens?"
Yang Yong said proudly, looking at Shangguan Xiong as if he were an ant.
"I apologize, but our Shangguan family is likely not fortunate enough to accept such a blessing."
"Guest cultivator Yang, please leave."
Shangguan Xiong frowned and directly refused.
To be honest, if it were the Shangguan family of the past, he might have been tempted after hearing Yang Yong's words.
But now, he knew that his granddaughter's heart was entirely with Lin Chen.
Moreover, he could sense that Lin Chen was definitely one of the legendary cultivators!
"Heh heh heh, Patriarch Shangguan, I offered you an opportunity, but you refused to cherish it. Do you wish to court death?"
"Kneel!"
Yang Yong snorted coldly, his figure flickered, and he instantly appeared in front of Shangguan Xiong.
"Bang!"
Yang Yong kicked Shangguan Xiong directly in the abdomen.
Shangguan Xiong was sent flying backward from his spot, only to crash heavily onto the ground several meters away.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Shangguan Xiong was already advanced in age, and after such a kick, he coughed up blood.
"Grandfather!"
Seeing this, Shangguan Ling'er immediately rushed over and helped Shangguan Xiong up.
"You scoundrel, you won't come to a good end!"
Shangguan Ling'er forced herself to calm down and warned Yang Yong.
"What? Can't take it anymore? Your Shangguan family is ungrateful and dares to defy me. This is just a small lesson!"
"Hand over the medicinal materials if you know what's good for you, and obediently become my slave, or I will wash your entire Shangguan family with blood today!"
Yang Yong's killing intent was exposed.
There was no other way; he didn't want to be so ostentatious, but those medicinal materials were too important.
As long as he obtained the medicinal materials, he could use their efficacy to break through the bottleneck of the Qi Nourishing stage and become a true Qi Refining cultivator.
At that time, his lifespan would increase by several hundred years, and that would be true cultivation!
"Impossible! We've already said, those medicinal materials have been given away, and we won't give them to you!"
"Also, you, a mere trash, are you worthy of being my Shangguan Ling'er's man?"
Shangguan Ling'er's expression was resolute, and she showed no fear when looking at Yang Yong.
"You're courting death!"
Hearing Shangguan Ling'er's taunt, Yang Yong was furious and immediately slapped her.
