Lady Han's gaze shifted towards Dai Ji, trying to glean so information from her eyes.
But to her disappointnt, Dai Ji's beautiful eyes were slightly downcast, focused only on Xu Xing, showing no intention of communicating with her.
"I, Xu Mou, am not exceptionally skilled, but I wish to borrow your School's Nascent Soul cultivation technique for examination. And if I may... I would also like to make use of your esteed grounds for a ti..." Xu Xing said calmly, setting down his tea cup.
"Regarding the Green Carp Ridge Magic Cave incident, our School hasn't fully recouped our investnt yet, and we still harbor so resentnt…"
"Master Xu, your words are asking a bit much of us…" Lady Han said, her delicate brows furrowing.
This ti, she had already notified the Supre Elder of the Red Dust Pavilion in advance. With the Supre Elder's protection, even if Xu Xing was imnsely powerful, he would find it difficult to gain any advantage from her.
"Back then, Madam Han, you also agreed to the transaction. The goods were exchanged and accounts settled. What, are you going back on your word now…?" Xu Xing's expression remained unchanged, his tone even.
"Of course, this concubine wouldn't dare. But Master Xu, for you to ask our School to bear such a cost based on re words alone…" Lady Han gently covered her rosy lips with the back of her hand, letting out a charming laugh.
She didn't finish her sentence, but the implication was clear.
They, the Red Dust Pavilion, could let bygones be bygones regarding the Dai Ji incident. However, if Xu Xing wanted to borrow the Red Dust Pavilion's Nascent Soul cultivation technique, he would have to pay a significant price.
"If your School has any conditions, please state them directly…" Xu Xing said, lifting his head to look at a white-haired old woman hidden behind the main hall. Simultaneously, he unleashed his Nascent Soul pressure, directing it towards her.
Different statuses and strengths naturally commanded different treatnt.
The Red Dust Pavilion placed great importance on transactions. For Dao Lords from other Schools who ca to borrow their Nascent Soul cultivation technique, the Pavilion would set nurous conditions, almost akin to them selling their souls.
However, when it ca to Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs... all that remained for the Red Dust Pavilion was to try and foster good relations.
Firstly, Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs already possessed their own Dao and cultivation thods. For them, borrowing techniques from the Red Dust Pavilion served rely to enhance their foundation and comprehend Dao Principles. This was vastly different from Dao Lords borrowing thods.
Secondly, Nascent Soul Saint Monarchs were exceedingly powerful and wielded considerable influence. Compared to this, the benefits of maintaining a good relationship with them far outweighed the value of a re Nascent Soul cultivation technique.
A Nascent Soul Saint Monarch?
Worthy of being the foremost Pride of Heaven in East Huangzhou in ten thousand years! To think he actually broke through to this realm under the pressure of Chi Yuan's pursuit…
After feeling this pressure, the White-haired Old Woman's expression changed slightly as she pondered this.
She mused for a mont, then released her own pressure to counter Xu Xing's.
The two great Nascent Soul Stage pressures clashed.
In an instant, Lady Han and Dai Ji, who were nearby, felt a crushing pressure, like that of a mountain range, as if their very bones and sinews were being snapped.
How is this possible? How can his cultivation be progressing so quickly…
As Lady Han clenched her teeth and endured, she could hardly believe what she was witnessing.
A few breaths later, Xu Xing proactively withdrew his pressure. He looked at the White-haired Old Woman and said, "My apologies."
"The student surpasses the master. Master Xu, you have attained the Sage Monarch realm within a thousand years. You have high hopes of becoming an immortal in the future…" the White-haired Old Woman chuckled, stepping out.
Next, she lightly tapped Lady Han with her palm, relieving her of the 'palpitations' caused by the Nascent Soul pressure.
"Daoist friend, you praise too highly."
"I, Xu Mou, was rely fortunate…" Xu Xing replied, as humble as ever.
"There's no such thing as fortune in reaching the Nascent Soul Stage…" the White-haired Old Woman said, shaking her head.
After saying this, she also revealed her identity.
"This old woman is nad Fang Xiuxian. Ten thousand years ago, the world knew as Immortal Xiu."
"Now, I am old!" the White-haired Old Woman said with a smile.
