Leng Xuan couldn’t help but beco interested upon hearing this, and he asked, "What thing?"
Just as Long Chou was about to speak, Long Hen suddenly leaned in and whispered, "Big brother, that thing wasn’t easy for us to get our hands on. If you tell him and he gets any wicked ideas, what if he kills us to seize our treasure?"
Long Chou sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Even if we don’t tell him, so what? Given our current state, we’re no match for him at all. He could easily kill us and then search our bodies for that thing. Right now, preserving our lives is of the utmost importance to us."
Upon hearing this, Long Hen fell silent, as he too knew that if they were dead, no matter how valuable the treasure was, they couldn’t take it to their graves.
Leng Xuan didn’t interrupt their conversation, as he could naturally guess what they were thinking, but he did feel mildly curious about that thing they ntioned.
After a while, Long Chou finally said, "We can tell you what it is, and it wouldn’t even be a problem to give it to you, but we hope that you can let us go. How about it?"
Leng Xuan touched his nose and said impassively, "It seems to that you don’t really have the right to bargain, do you? First, tell the value of that thing, then I’ll consider whether to spare your lives."
"This..." Long Chou hesitated for a mont before nodding, "Alright, I believe this thing will definitely make your ’Heart Movent’ stir." As he spoke, he took out a wooden box from his chest and opened it; imdiately, two round, lustrous, white elixirs appeared. Although they were so distance away, Leng Xuan still slled the faint fragrance and couldn’t help but ask, "Is this an elixir? What’s its effect?"
Long Chou replied, "This pill is called the Yun Ling Elixir. After a cultivator consus it, it’s equivalent to a year of arduous cultivation. Moreover, the speed at which they absorb Spiritual Energy will also double. You should know, in today’s world, Spiritual Energy is incredibly sparse, and it’s extrely difficult to quickly increase one’s strength."
However, Leng Xuan shook his head to himself, for to an ordinary cultivator this thing indeed had great use, but for him, it was as good as useless. With the Jiuyang Divine Art, his speed of drawing in Spiritual Energy had increased by who knows how many multiples. Not only that, he also had the Dragon Ring Space, where the Spiritual Energy was incredibly dense. So, he wasn’t worried about Spiritual Energy at all.
Seeing Leng Xuan’s indifferent look, Long Chou couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise, "What? You’re not interested in this? You must know, this is sothing all cultivators would fight over. If my brother and I hadn’t known about this thing beforehand, it would never have been our turn. Those old monsters would definitely have tried to snatch it away."
Of course, Leng Xuan wouldn’t disclose his own secrets; he waved his hand indifferently and said, "I acknowledge this thing is good, but it holds no allure for ."
Long Chou couldn’t help frowning and asked, "Then what do you want?"
After pondering for a mont, Leng Xuan finally said, "How about this! I don’t want this thing, and I’ll let you keep your lives, but you must agree to one condition of mine."
"What condition?"
"Help with three tasks. As for what those tasks are, you’ll find out in due ti. As long as you agree, I’ll let you go imdiately." Leng Xuan did this also to plan for the future; he realized that he seed to be facing more and more enemy forces, and surely there would be no lack of troubles ahead. Now that the chance to recruit a few allies presented itself, it seed a good move.
