Chapter 1128: Chapter 766: Pie in the Sky Chapter 1128: Chapter 766: Pie in the Sky He Song’s gaze swept past Zhou Ruo, his expression indifferent.
However, from the words he spoke, an undeniable firmness could still be heard.
Upon hearing these words,
the fervent expression on Zhou Ruo’s face gradually faded.
Previously, when she heard He Song speak, claiming that now he had obtained the advanced tunneling skill, it was naturally ti for him to fulfill the promise he had made earlier.
It was ti for him to present her with the promised Foundation Establishnt Elixir and other treasures.
At that ti, although Zhou Ruo felt that sothing was slightly amiss,
after all, she had not yet started to exert effort to demand various rewards from He Song for her actions.
The help she had provided He Song during this ti was actually not significant.
You see,
from the mont Zhou Ruo agreed to assist He Song by conveying ssages,
up until now, she had only transmitted two pieces of useful information to him.
Once, was when the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion was revealed.
And the second ti was this one,
when she relayed the ssage to He Song that soone in the Northwind Prefecture was auctioning an advanced tunneling skill.
But in Zhou Ruo’s view, these two events were quite ordinary and could not possibly warrant her obtaining other treasures from He Song,
let alone a Foundation Establishnt Elixir that could help her step into the Foundation Establishnt Realm and beco a person above others.
She was, of course, aware of the rarity of the Foundation Establishnt Elixir.
And what she had done for He Song didn’t really amount to much.
No work, no reward.
She understood that principle.
Therefore, when she heard He Song bring up the matter and express his wish to fulfill his previous promise,
although her heart was filled with desire for the Foundation Establishnt Elixir spoken by He Song, and was significantly eager,
still,
a trace of anxiety also flickered through her thoughts.
Because she knew that what she had done was not worth a Foundation Establishnt Elixir or any other treasures.
She believed that He Song would undoubtedly be aware of this reason as well.
In such circumstances, He Song was still stating his intention to honor his previous promises.
Therefore, in Zhou Ruo’s view,
He Song’s actions must have an ulterior motive.
And as the rest of He Song’s words fell,
Zhou Ruo’s original doubts at that mont beca reality.
To obtain that Foundation Establishnt Elixir and so other treasures from He Song,
she would inevitably have to agree to a condition set by He Song.
As for what this condition was,
although Zhou Ruo was full of questions at this mont, one thing she could be certain of,
was that,
the value of the condition proposed by He Song would definitely exceed the worth of that Foundation Establishnt Elixir and any other treasures he might offer.
This value disparity could be several tis over, or even more than tenfold.
However,
even as such thoughts flashed through Zhou Ruo’s mind,
her gaze nevertheless continuously settled on the small jade bottle in He Song’s hand.
In that small jade bottle,
was an elixir that could drive countless Qi Refining cultivators insane!
For any Qi Refining cultivator, a Foundation Establishnt Elixir was an extrely precious treasure.
For a single elixir,
a multitude of Qi Condensation Cultivators would even engage in all sorts of jaw-dropping acts.
And at this very mont,
a Foundation Establishnt Elixir was placed so clearly before Zhou Ruo.
Naturally, Zhou Ruo coveted it trendously.
Only,
He Song’s power was simply too strong.
In Zhou Ruo’s mind, He Song was a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishnt Great Perfection.
With such power, killing Zhou Ruo, a little mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, would probably just require a simple gesture, and Zhou Ruo would have no place for burial.
Even if Zhou Ruo were to be killed by He Song,
the Foundation Establishnt True Person of the Zhou Family wouldn’t dare to co knocking for an explanation.
What’s more, without He Song’s support, the Zhou Family might swiftly be taken advantage of by the Wu Family with its two Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
While the Zhou Family currently still held a deterrent that made the Wu Family hesitate,
among the Wu Family’s two Foundation Establishnt True Persons, there was one with three spirit roots.
If that triple spirit root cultivator of the Wu Family were to make a breakthrough, whether to the Late Foundation Establishnt Stage or to Foundation Establishnt Great Perfection,
they could effortlessly invalidate the Zhou Family’s leverage, leaving them without the strength to strike back.
When that ti ca,
describing the fate of the Zhou Family as a catastrophic disaster would not be an overstatent.
Similarly,
if Zhou Ruo were to refuse He Song’s request now,
leading to He Song leaving directly, or even killing her before he left,
the fate of the Zhou Family would naturally follow such a path.
Furthermore,
if He Song were to be even more extre,
with his strength at the peak of Foundation Establishnt Great Perfection,
he could rely on his power alone to annihilate the entire Zhou Family where she belonged.
Such outcos were not impossible in the Cultivation World.
In such a situation,
Zhou Ruo and her Zhou Family truly had no recourse.
After all, with low strength, they simply couldn’t resist.
How could the Foundation Establishnt cultivator of the Zhou Family withstand soone like He Song, a cultivator of Foundation Establishnt Great Perfection?
In such a situation, the Zhou Family would likely fall even faster than the previous two conjectures.
Consequently,
Zhou Ruo sighed inwardly.
It seed that even if He Song were to make so excessive demand, she would have to agree to it as well.
Otherwise, the consequences might not be sothing that she or her Zhou Family could bear.
With these thoughts in mind, Zhou Ruo’s expression on her face shifted from the previous fervency to solemnity.
