Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Not Enough This Life, Try Again Next Life
The little horse that had been following Chen Guan and his companions now ran to the woman’s side, softly neighing twice, as if conveying sothing, then glanced at i Qingta.
i Qingta was both surprised and delighted at the sight of these won.
He had harbored so doubts about everything his elder had said, after all, it was all too incredible.
The Reishi Castle, reaching deep into the clouds, was more magnificent than any ancient castle.
The Zhi Xian who can transform into human forms, it’s indeed quite unbelievable.
Although i Qingta knew that the elder would not deceive him, he still wondered if it had been sowhat exaggerated.
But now, seeing Zixian Castle with his own eyes, the shock was even stronger, making i Qingta realize that the elder had not exaggerated in the slightest, and in fact, had been too conservative in his descriptions, failing to capture the overwhelming impact of Zixian Castle.
"Zhi Xian Masters, I am i Qingta, grandson of i Yingshan. I am here to fulfill the promise between my grandfather and your greatness," i Qingta mistook the woman for the Zhi Xian Master his grandfather had ntioned.
The Zhi Xian Master that i Yingshan had seen was the Zhi Xian Patriarch.
He only described Zhi Xian as extrely beautiful, so upon seeing Linger’s beauty, i Qingta naturally assud that Linger was the Zhi Xian Master i Yingshan had spoken of.
"i Yingshan?" Linger pondered for a mont before realizing, "i Yingshan is the human cultivator who exchanged Void Cyan Stone Liquid with us for the Stone Lingzhi, right?"
Linger appeared as youthful as a girl, but in actuality, her age was beyond human comprehension.
Yet, for the Zhi Xian, she was still considered in her girlhood.
She had t i Yingshan and rembered the transaction between him and the Zhi Xian Patriarch.
Void Cyan Stone Liquid, a relatively precious item for the Zhi Xian, could delay their woodification. So, upon discovering that i Yingshan possessed Void Cyan Stone Liquid, the Zhi Xian Patriarch had soone bring the dying i Yingshan into Zixian Castle.
And they exchanged so already petrified Lingzhi for his Void Cyan Stone Liquid.
"That’s right." i Qingta was relieved that the Zhi Xian still rembered his great-grandfather.
"Our i Family has adhered to our agreent with you, Zhi Xian Masters, by collecting Void Cyan Stone Liquid for generations. After all these years, we have finally returned here to complete the transaction with you, Zhi Xian Masters." i Qingta said, carefully taking out a box from his bag.
He opened the box with great care. Inside, a delicate buffering ensured the safety of a thumb-sized crystalline bottle.
Inside that bottle was more than half filled with a bluish transparent liquid, emanating a faint glow.
This tiny amount of Void Cyan Stone Liquid, seemingly insufficient for even a mouthful, represented the effort of several generations of the i Family.
Due to its rarity, the i Family had gathered it one drop at a ti over many generations, resulting in only this much.
However, initially, the Void Cyan Stone Liquid trading for Zhi Xian treasures barely amounted to one-tenth of this, yet it procured a wealth of heavenly treasures like pri Lingzhi.
This much Void Spirit Stone Liquid should at least exchange for ten tis the amount of before.
Moreover, the Zhi Xian Race held no human concept of good and evil; those who benefited them were their friends, according to i Yingshan.
This ti, i Qingta brought such an abundant amount of Void Cyan Stone Liquid, so getting their help to kill Chen Guan shouldn’t be difficult.
He wasn’t wrong, and neither was i Yingshan, but unfortunately, he didn’t know that for the Zhi Xian Race, Chen Guan’s benefits far exceeded the Void Cyan Stone Liquid he held.
i Qingta directly presented his family’s generations of collected Void Cyan Stone Liquid with both hands. Although the Zhi Xian lacked a human sense of morality, they were very faithful to their promises.
Back then, even when i Yingshan was on the brink of death, the Zhi Xian could have easily taken his Void Cyan Stone Liquid, yet they chose to trade fairly.
So i Qingta wasn’t worried; bringing such a large amount of Void Cyan Stone Liquid, the Zhi Xian Race should not disappoint him.
Linger gestured for another Zhi Xian to co over and take the Void Cyan Stone Liquid from i Qingta, and the Zhi Xian handed the liquid to Linger.
Linger examined the bottle while asking, "What do you want to exchange for this Void Cyan Stone Liquid?"
"I wish to exchange for Stone Lingzhi over a thousand years old, as many as you think is fair. I have only one request." i Qingta looked at Chen Guan, who was standing there, and said, "Please, Zhi Xian Masters, slay this human."
"You want
to help you kill him?" Linger looked at Chen Guan, then shifted her gaze back to i Qingta.
"Indeed, it’s one of the conditions for exchanging Void Cyan Stone Liquid. If the Zhi Xian Masters can assist, I can accept fewer Stone Lingzhi," i Qingta stated.
"Very well, are you sure you want to exchange his life for this?" Linger asked again, holding the bottle between her middle and index fingers, watching i Qingta.
"I’m sure," i Qingta said confidently.
Even at the cost of so Stone Lingzhi, i Qingta did not want to take the risk himself; Chen Guan was too mysterious.
"Alright, as you wish, I’ll take this Void Cyan Stone Liquid," Linger said, putting away the liquid.
i Qingta felt exhilarated, "It’s finally about to end, though it was bumpy, the outco is good."
He was already calculating how to quickly complete the transaction with the Zhi Xian, hopefully in ti to eliminate Zhu Hongzhi and Bai Yueguang, who shouldn’t have gone far.
However, Linger did not act according to his expectations, commanding soone to kill Chen Guan; instead, she extended her hand, seeming to demand sothing more.
"What do you an, Zhi Xian Master?" i Qingta’s expression shifted, sensing sothing amiss.
"To kill him, the Void Cyan Stone Liquid you gave is not enough; you need to offer sothing more," Linger stated.
Hearing this, i Qingta’s face turned as if he had swallowed a fly, his expression pained, words stuck in his mouth, both unspeakable and unswallowable.
He had thought having the Zhi Xian eliminate Chen Guan was an easy task, but to his surprise, Linger said the Void Cyan Stone Liquid was insufficient to purchase Chen Guan’s life.
"Zhi Xian Master, the Void Cyan Stone Liquid is such a precious treasure. Our i family crossed many Secret Realms, facing life-and-death situations for generations to collect this much. Isn’t it enough to exchange for the life of a human?" i Qingta felt a strong sense of foreboding.
"Of course not, this person is not ordinary. To take his life, you need to pay more," Linger said casually.
"I have no more Void Cyan Stone Liquid," i Qingta replied.
"You can substitute it with sothing else," Linger said with a smile while looking at i Qingta, "For example, your life, but even adding your life, it’s still not enough to exchange for his."
"How about this? I’ll accept this Void Cyan Stone Liquid and your life for now. In your next life, collect more Void Cyan Stone Liquid, and maybe it will be enough to exchange for his life. Then, I’ll certainly help you kill him."
i Qingta’s pupils contracted, his nerves almost breaking, staring hard at Linger, unable to believe such evil and shaless words could co from such a beautiful mouth.
