Gao Fei watched the little gourd quietly, waiting for Immortal Master Huang's decision.
Immortal Master Huang remained silent for a long ti before he finally spoke, "I have two conditions. As long as you agree to them, I'll let you extract my soul.
"Speak," Gao Fei nodded.
"First, you must not make harm the Demon Race."
"No problem."
"Second, you must respect and not treat as your servant."
"Agreed."
"Let's start then," Immortal Master Huang said, "co and extract my soul...."
Gao Fei wrapped the little gourd with his ntal power and then said, "Release your soul."
"It's done. I've released my soul," Immortal Master Huang said.
"Bear with it a little. I'm going to extract the soul now," Gao Fei murmured the incantation and perford the secret technique, separating a strand of Immortal Master Huang's soul. "Pfft!" Gao Fei quickly pulled off the gourd's lid and then sucked out the separated soul. "Swoosh!" The soul turned into a streak of light and shot into Gao Fei's mind.
"Whoosh!"
A light shadow shot out from the gourd, tumbled through the air a few tis, and then landed on the ground. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a thin, old man with yellow hair, eyebrows, eyes, beard, and clothes.
"Are you Immortal Master Huang?" Gao Fei asked politely.
"It's ," Immortal Master Huang huffed, "You've extracted my soul. My life and death are now in your hands. Are you satisfied now?"
"Give ten years. In ten years, I'll return your soul to you," Gao Fei made a promise.
"Do you speak the truth?" Immortal Master Huang's eyes brightened.
"I do," Gao Fei nodded earnestly, "I can swear to heaven that if I cannot do it, let heaven strike with five thunders and give no peace in death."
"Fine, I'll wait ten years," Immortal Master Huang's expression softened a bit.
"I'm going. Heading back now," Gao Fei walked off with long strides toward the distance.
Immortal Master Huang followed reluctantly.
…
Gao Fei was over the moon, absolutely thrilled. He had just gotten himself a bodyguard at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, which was too aweso, too cool, too incredible!
If anyone dares to ss with again, I'll have Immortal Master Huang wipe them out!
"Immortal Master Huang," Gao Fei called out.
"What is it."
"You said if I let you out, you'd give two hundred thousand pieces of Athyst. You haven't forgotten, have you?"
"...You've already extracted my soul, aren't you satisfied?"
"One thing at a ti, they shouldn't be confused. You made a promise to , so you should fulfill it."
"...To tell you the truth, I was deceiving you. I can't produce two hundred thousand pieces of Athyst."
"Deceiving ?"
"Yes, I had already decided that once you let out, I would deny the debt. If you weren't happy with it, I would annihilate you."
"Such a ruthless heart," Gao Fei's face changed, "Luckily I didn't fall for it, or else I'd have been in trouble."
"After all the fighting, in the end, I've lost to you," Immortal Master Huang sighed, "To serve as a servant for ten years, I really can't accept it." A Great Demon of the Tribulation Crossing Stage serving a Golden Core Stage human, if word got out, surely people would laugh their heads off.
"Ten years will pass in the blink of an eye."
"Easy for you to say."
"Don't worry, I won't mistreat you. I'll provide you with good food and drink each day and even find you cultivation resources. In short, if you follow , you definitely won't regret it," Gao Fei assured.
"Boasting shalessly," Immortal Master Huang snorted disdainfully, "What great things can you, a re Golden Core Stage cultivator, achieve?"
"I am a Chiliarch!"
"Showing off such a tiny official position? Aren't you ashad?"
"Are you deliberately picking a fight? Don't you believe I can destroy your soul right now?"
"You wouldn't dare!" Immortal Master Huang's face changed.
"Just kidding with you, look how scared you got," Gao Fei chuckled. "As long as you listen to , I won't hurt you."
Immortal Master Huang turned his head away, no longer paying attention to Gao Fei.
...
Several days later.
Gao Fei and Immortal Master Huang returned to the military camp.
"Sir, you're back," Chen San and Liu Qing hurried over to greet them.
"Let introduce you," Gao Fei said, pointing at Immortal Master Huang. "This is my friend, Immortal Master Huang."
"Hello," Chen San and Liu Qing greeted him politely.
"Hmm," Immortal Master Huang snorted through his nostrils, which passed for a reply.
This old guy is so arrogant! Chen San and Liu Qing both frowned. Since Immortal Master Huang had concealed his cultivation, they had no idea he was at the Tribulation Crossing Stage. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have these expressions.
"Arrange a place for Immortal Master Huang to stay and treat him well." Dropping this line, Gao Fei walked away.
...
Closing the room's door.
Gao Fei took out the Bronze Coffin, and a Yin Wind appeared out of thin air, suddenly dropping the room's temperature significantly.
Having a coffin in the room was genuinely creepy.
"Could it really be a treasure?" Gao Fei folded his arms behind his back and circled the Bronze Coffin twice. He stopped and tapped it with his finger. "Thump, thump, thump!" The Bronze Coffin made a dull sound. "It's just an ordinary coffin, isn't it? I don't see anything special about it?"
"Look at it more closely." Xuan Jizi's voice echoed in his mind. "I trust my instinct; this coffin is definitely not an ordinary object."
Knocking here and there, on top, below, Gao Fei finally concluded: "This Bronze Coffin is very sturdy!"
"Take your ti to study it, and you'll figure it out eventually," Xuan Jizi said.
"It looks like it's made of bronze on the outside, but it's actually not," Gao Fei said. "There must be other materials mixed in... I suddenly have an idea."
"What's your idea?"
"To dissolve the Bronze Coffin and forge a defensive artifact from it."
"... You would be squandering a treasure."
"Coffins are for the dead, and just looking at it gives the creeps. It's better to dissolve it and make a defensive artifact out of it; that's recycling waste."
"The object is yours, do whatever you like with it, it's not my place to say."
"That's settled then."
When an idea struck him, he would act on it imdiately, without any delay.
Gao Fei fetched an extra-large furnace and tossed the Bronze Coffin into it, then stoked the flas.
"Burn, baby, burn!" Seeing that the Bronze Coffin wasn't lting right away, Gao Fei sat down cross-legged to one side and took out an athyst to cultivate.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
The furnace was still burning fiercely. As for the Bronze Coffin... it remained unscathed, without any sign of lting.
Gao Fei opened his eyes to glance at the furnace, then closed them again to continue cultivating.
Ti flew by.
Half a month had passed without notice.
The Bronze Coffin still hadn't lted, and there was no trace of being burned at all.
Gao Fei couldn't sit still any longer. "Well, well, it hasn't lted after being burned for half a month?" He stood up, threw so fuel into the furnace, and the flas leaped up high. "I refuse to believe I can't lt you!"
