Chapter 804 - 273: Troublesome (Part 3)
Didn’t expect this kid to be so patient.
"Ahem..."
"Young friend, have you considered my last invitation?"
"As long as you help me with a small matter, I will reward you handsomely!"
Fan Hongwei said with a smile.
If he hadn’t brought it up, Fan Hongwei felt that Lin Zheyu might just keep barbecuing indefinitely.
"Sorry, I have matters to attend to, I might not be able to assist you, senior."
"There are so many powerful martial artists out there, even those stronger than me, plenty within the Martial Alliance, senior, why fixate on me?"
Lin Zheyu no longer concealed, openly expressing himself.
"There is a reason for seeking you."
"Not many martial artists can discover my hiding place, just by this alone, you are worthy of the old man’s admiration."
"That place not only requires a strong physique but also a perception far beyond the ordinary."
"Cultivators that meet these conditions are extremely rare, whether in the Immortal Realm or the Martial Alliance."
Fan Hongwei stroked his beard, smiling as he spoke.
From the first meeting until now, he’s always appeared very kind, giving off an aura of an ethereal Dao Bone.
But Lin Zheyu’s intuition told him, there’s something off about this old man, a faint sense of danger lurked in his heart.
Regarding such inexplicable intuition, Lin Zheyu always believed it better to be cautious than dismissive.
"Sorry."
"I’m naturally cautious, not fond of risks, might disappoint you, senior." Lin Zheyu shook his head, speaking firmly.
"Oh?"
"Interesting, do you know the consequences of refusing me?"
The elder looked at Lin Zheyu with interest, his eyes emitting a mysterious dangerous aura, making Lin Zheyu’s eyebrows twitch uncontrollably.
Danger!
With just a glance, this old man gave Lin Zheyu a huge sense of crisis.
Whoosh~~
Lin Zheyu took a deep breath, suppressed the unease in his heart, and continued: "Of course, there are always exceptions."
"Since it’s a senior’s invitation, I will surely not refuse!"
Lin Zheyu submitted.
A wise man doesn’t eat a loss today.
Lin Zheyu felt that if he continued to refuse just now, this old scoundrel would attack without hesitation and kill him.
And Lin Zheyu possibly wouldn’t even be able to resist.
"Haha, I knew young friend would agree."
"Rest assured, finding martial artists with a strong physique and perception like yourself is not easy, we will have plenty of cooperation opportunities in the future, I won’t drain the pond to catch fish."
"Regardless of success, I will reward you well."
Fan Hongwei stroked his beard, laughing heartily, resuming his previous ethereal Dao Bone demeanor.
"Then I thank you, senior."
"When does the matter you seek, senior, begin?"
"I am at a crucial stage in my cultivation, and need some time to breakthrough. Can senior give me some time?"
Lin Zheyu pondered before speaking.
Since resistance wasn’t an option, then delay as much as possible.
With the help of Source Power, given a year or two, Lin Zheyu’s strength would see a tremendous leap!
By then, he wouldn’t fear this old scoundrel.
"No rush, I still have a Magical Artifact to refine, it’ll be at least a year till completion."
Fan Hongwei said with a smile.
His right hand patted his storage pouch, a familiar token appeared in his hand.
The same token Fan Hongwei had previously given to Lin Zheyu, which Lin Zheyu discarded.
"Now, can you accept this token?" Fan Hongwei asked with a half-smile while looking at Lin Zheyu.
"So the token was with you, senior."
"Back when senior gave it to me, I encountered a formidable enemy and accidentally lost it." Lin Zheyu accepted the token, speaking casually.
It’s just pretending, who doesn’t know how.
This old guy, obviously not a good person, yet pretends to be an ethereal Dao Bone.
"Hehe..."
"This token is very important, hope you keep it closely, don’t lose it again, making me search in vain."
"Otherwise, both of us will face trouble, wouldn’t you agree?"
Fan Hongwei said with a half-smile, his tone subtly carrying a warning.
"I will keep it close, senior."
"But to prevent losing it, storing it in the storage pouch should be fine, right?" Lin Zheyu replied with a smile.
"That’s fine, just don’t lose it."
"Alright, I need to leave now."
"Young friend’s barbecue was quite enjoyable; it’s been long since I’ve eaten so well."
"Reciprocating courtesy, this Six Harmonies Elixir is my gift to you."
Fan Hongwei flipped his right hand, a golden Primordial Elixir shot towards Lin Zheyu.
"Thank you, senior!"
Lin Zheyu caught the elixir, bowing to Fan Hongwei.
After confirming he left, Lin Zheyu’s smile vanished, his face turned grim.
"Six Harmonies Elixir, the old guy is indeed generous."
"A slap followed by a sweet date, hehe..."
Lin Zheyu held the Six Harmonies Elixir, revealing a cold smile.
This elixir greatly aids martial artists in cultivation, even for those at Bai Lin’s level, it has considerable effects.
With long-term use, it can enhance a martial artist’s physique and affinity with the world, reducing the difficulty of breaking free from shackles.
"Magical Artifacts can only be refined by cultivators at the Golden Core Layer."
"This old scoundrel said there’s an unfinished Magical Artifact, meaning his strength is at least at the Golden Elixir Layer, possibly even more."
