Chapter 846 - 286: Ruins (2)
"Yo, I thought this guy had given up, but he really has patience."
Lin Zheyu smiled slightly.
A moment ago, the Lingxi Ball suddenly received a message from Tu Yuan.
This guy, since getting scared by the sky-high price of two premium Spirit Stones set by Lin Zheyu last time and failing to negotiate, hadn’t sent a message since.
Now, after half a month, the other party finally sent a message again.
Tu Yuan: Fellow Daoist, one premium Spirit Stone is my limit. Besides one premium Spirit Stone, I can promise you one condition, to help you take action once.
"Only one premium Spirit Stone at most..."
"Isn’t this guy reputedly famous? This is too poor."
Lin Zheyu shook his head speechlessly.
The difference between cultivators is significant, the wealth gap is extremely apparent.
At that time, Lun Shu of the Lingxiao Sword Sect spent no less than three premium Spirit Stones to buy the Sword Dao Golden Elixir from him to prove his pseudo-dan.
And Tu Yuan is proving the genuine Golden Core, yet unwilling to spend even three premium Spirit Stones...
"Should I accept this offer?"
"One premium Spirit Stone is quite a significant fortune for a cultivator below the Golden Core."
Lin Zheyu pondered for a bit, his thoughts stirred, and he revealed a mischievous smile at the corner of his mouth.
"One premium Spirit Stone is fine, but you need to help me kill someone."
Tu Yuan received the message, his expression slightly delighted, but soon a hint of hesitation appeared.
Killing is not an easy endeavor, it involves many complications.
Especially the stronger the background of the cultivator, after killing them, the chance of being tracked down using Great Divine Techniques is higher.
The consequences are very troublesome.
"Who?" Tu Yuan asked.
"Martial Realm, Wu Yixuan."
"Wu Yixuan?!!!"
"Sorry, I can’t kill this person."
Upon seeing the message, Tu Yuan’s expression changed, decisively refusing.
This is a force with Divinity Transformation experts, and Wu Yixuan is famed as the most potent bloodline member of the Wu Family in a thousand years, except for his brother.
Killing him would result in endless troubles, something a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator like him can’t bear.
"Oh well, forget it, the price has gone up now, three premium Spirit Stones."
Seeing the message, Lin Zheyu shrugged indifferently.
Tu Yuan’s storage bag containing those two mysterious bones and skull magical artifact has a notable origin.
One premium Spirit Stone, Lin Zheyu thought it was still worth hanging onto them, researching when free was more prudent.
Thanks to his perception improvement during this time, Lin Zheyu made some interesting discoveries.
He flipped his right hand, and a skull with sunken eye sockets appeared, its sockets flickering with an eerie light, like the soul’s fire, seeming alive.
"Bones of an ancient Witch cultivator..."
"Such hard material, even my full-strength strike can’t leave a mark, that’s a bit terrifying."
Lin Zheyu fiddled with the skull magical artifact in his hand, his Spiritual Sense and perception, under his control, penetrated into the skull.
This wasn’t the first time he researched the two unknown powerful bones made into artifacts of Tu Yuan.
Previously, because his perception wasn’t strong enough, his knowledge about the artifacts was limited, unable to figure anything out.
Later, after starting cultivation of the Spirit Martial Heaven and Earth Secret Skill, his soul and perception significantly improved.
Each time his abilities improved, Lin Zheyu would spare time to research Tu Yuan’s storage bag items to see if he could gain anything.
After all, these were treasures that even a talented cultivator like Tu Yuan found beneficial during his Golden Core proving.
Finally, seven days ago, while idly playing with the skull magical artifact, Lin Zheyu had a delightful surprise.
He discovered the two special bone-made artifacts contained a powerful and unfamiliar energy deep within their bones.
After researching, Lin Zheyu initially determined this energy was related to Witch cultivators!
Tu Yuan: "..."
Tu Yuan received the message, his expression turned even grimmer.
Three premium Spirit Stones, Xiao Yu this guy, is clearly unwilling to sell, right?
"Damn, this guy definitely found out..."
"Damn it, he certainly discovered!"
Just as Tu Yuan had this suspicion, he received another message from Lin Zheyu: "Does Fellow Daoist have a complete Witch Race legacy, if you do, giving it to you for free isn’t out of the question."
"Screw your Witch Race legacy, if I had it, only a fool would trade it with you."
Tu Yuan couldn’t help but curse out loud.
He couldn’t hold back.
But upon seeing Lin Zheyu’s message, Tu Yuan had to accept the fact that Lin Zheyu discovered the secrets contained in those two artifacts.
"Three premium Spirit Stones!"
"Concerning the Witch Race legacy, if three premium Spirit Stones could completely resolve this, perhaps it’s not inadvisable."
"But..."
Tu Yuan murmured lightly, feeling very troubled.
The so-called proving Golden Core required these treasures was just an excuse. The real truth is these two artifacts are connected to a certain Witch Race relic.
That relic is extremely dangerous, last time Tu Yuan almost didn’t make it back.
Those two magical artifacts were obtained during that visit.
He originally planned to wait until his strength increased and after proving Golden Core, to go back into that relic to compete for opportunities.
Who would have thought, the artifacts are gone!
"Does Fellow Daoist have the time recently, let’s arrange a good time to discuss in detail."
"Even if the transaction doesn’t succeed, I owe you a favor for the last journey to the Demon God Barrier, please give me a chance to express my gratitude."
Tu Yuan pondered for a moment and sent the message again.
These two magical artifacts are closely related to a certain checkpoint in the Witch Race relic, to pass through that checkpoint, it requires the use of these two artifacts.
