Chapter 329
“Li Su, inside this bag, there are twenty thousand high-grade spirit stones and one hundred top-grade spirit stones, with a total value equivalent to three million low-grade spirit stones. Added to the previous one million, is it enough to exchange for their release?” The Purple Gold Fusion spoke again.
He imdiately took out a considerable amount of spirit stones, equivalent to four million low-grade spirit stones. It was no wonder they were from a sacred land, considering the vast quantity of spirit stones they possessed. The high-grade and top-grade spirit stones within were even more valuable. When advancing to Nascent Soul, it was more effective to use high-grade spirit stones for cultivation. Once at the fusion stage, top-grade spirit stones were preferred.
Top-grade spirit stones were especially effective when breaking through realms or bottlenecks. However, they were quite rare, and in the Canglan Realm, aside from the Grandmaster of the Returning Origin Sect, even the Peak Master of the Dieyun didn’t possess them. One hundred top-grade spirit stones were equivalent to one million low-grade spirit stones. But… Li Su still remained silent.
“Heh, you think you can just brush this matter aside with such a small number of spirit stones? Gongsun Zhi, if this fight continues, the injuries you’ll suffer won’t be limited to this extent,” Elder He said from the side. “Li Su, what are your conditions?” The Purple Gold Fusion inquired. “For the two of them, each gets fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones. As for you, let’s say two thousand top-grade spirit stones,” Li Su replied.
Li Su said in a calm tone. Fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones for each of them and two thousand top-grade spirit stones for him! Li Su’s conditions caused the Purple Gold Fusion’s expression to change. It was a truly exorbitant demand. These spirit stones were equivalent to thirty million low-grade spirit stones! Thirty million low-grade spirit stones, even within a sacred land, was an astronomical figure.
The total number of spirit stones possessed by all the sects in the Northern Region combined was far from reaching such an amount. Even the Returning Origin Sect might not be able to produce this many spirit stones at once. Furthermore, Li Su was demanding mid-grade and top-grade spirit stones, which were even rarer and more precious. What was more, Li Su had included him in the calculation!
“Is this a sign of confidence in keeping him here?” “Li Su, I can accept the conditions for the two of them, but as for …” “Do you think you can escape?” Li Su cut off the Purple Gold Fusion’s words midway. The Purple Gold Fusion sensed sothing was amiss, and his face turned pale.
It was because an extrely mysterious and advanced formation had already covered the entire area. This formation was highly sophisticated, and its presence couldn’t be detected. Its sole purpose was to restrict the expansion of one’s divine consciousness.
He could have forcibly broken through this imprisoning formation by concentrating his divine consciousness into a single strand, but Li Su might not have given him a chance. Moreover, he felt that this imprisoning formation might not have just one layer but multiple layers. To break free, he would have to break through one layer at a ti. With the imnse power Li Su had just demonstrated, it was entirely possible that he would be trapped here.
However, he did have so tricks up his sleeve. The golden talisman in his possession was a genuine Dao talisman, and it was much more advanced than the talismans the woman from the Eastern Family had given to the two Nascent Soul cultivators. This talisman had originally been prepared to defend against the Grandmaster of the Returning Origin Sect, whose power far surpassed his own.
If he were to use this talisman, he would still have a good chance of escaping. However, this talisman was not easily obtained, and it wasn’t sothing he needed to return to the higher power behind the Purple Gold Prince after being provided with it. It would beco a valuable lifeline for him in the future. This ti, his mission was rely to obstruct the Returning Origin Sect, and he had no intention of engaging in a life-and-death battle with Li Su.
Therefore, if he could avoid using it, he naturally would. Additionally, these spirit stones… he could still transfer them to the Purple Gold Holy Land.
“Your talisman doesn’t pose a threat to . Feel free to try using it to see if I can break through,” Li Su’s voice echoed again.
The Purple Gold Fusion felt a tightening in his heart.
“I don’t have that many spirit stones, and they don’t either,” the Purple Gold Fusion stated. Despite confidence in the talisman, he was unwilling to take the risk. Li Su’s calm gaze, without uttering a word, applied imnse pressure.
“Let’s offer sothing else in exchange, as much as we can, and make up for the rest later. How about that?” the Purple Gold Fusion suggested.
This ti, Li Su agreed. “Everyone, take out your storage bags.” He produced an exquisitely crafted storage bag, emptying its contents. Besides, he revealed a pill bottle and various materials. Seeing this, Lu Huai’an and the other Nascent Soul cultivator from the Purple Gold Holy Land exchanged a glance and then took out their storage bags.
However, they still didn’t have enough spirit stones. Li Su had asked for too much, and they simply didn’t possess it.
“Let’s use materials as compensation. This can be valued at a hundred fewer upper-grade spirit stones,” Li Su said, beckoning a black stone towards him.
“That was ant for refining a Dao implent…” The Purple Gold Fusion spoke up, but Li Su had already taken it back.
In the end, the spirit stones and other items Li Su needed he had picked out only amounted to less than half of what he had demanded. Li Su had taken out a few special pieces of paper.
“Write down IOUs and seal them with a drop of blood,” he said, flicking these papers towards the three of them. The three quickly complied, and the IOUs returned to Li Su’s hand. (ED Note: An IOU, a phonetic acronym of the words “I owe you,” is a docunt that acknowledges the existence of a debt.)
“Is this sufficient?” the Purple Gold Fusion asked.
Li Su waved his hand, causing the Flying Immortal Sword that had trapped Lu Huai’an and the other Virtual Alchemists to leave. “Thank you, and goodbye,” the Purple Gold Fusion said, bowing politely. Without further delay, they left with the two Virtual Alchemists, seemingly escaping.
“Phew!”
Just leaving the Mount of Immortals, the Purple Gold Fusion spat out a mouthful of blood. His injuries were much more serious than they appeared. Otherwise, if Li Su asked for a huge favor, he might not have agreed so easily.
“Elder Gongsun, how are you?” Lu Huai’an and another Refining Void disciple quickly asked.
“No need to worry. The losses this ti are too great. Let’s go back first. Anping, Li Su hasn’t seen you. After leaving the Canglan Realm, you can return and find out more about the origin of this Li Su,” the Purple Gold Fusion said, wiping away his bloodstains.
anwhile, the five Refinent Void cultivators brought in by the Dongfang family’s won revealed everything. These five individuals were not originally from the Purple Gold Holy Land but were Refinent Void practitioners from so major realms. They had so prior dealings with the Eastern family, and after that woman took control of the Dongfang family, they were invited with a hefty sum of money.
They thought dealing with the person wouldn’t be challenging, making the task seem incredibly easy. Little did they expect to encounter Li Su.
