Chapter 1495 - 89: Asking an Exorbitant Price
In a fleeting moment, numerous thoughts flashed by.
Xie Xuanyi knew that this Netherworld Third Young Master had taken an interest in his "Lifebound Demon Blood."
Most likely because of his previous bout with Yuan Huo... Has this guy taken a liking to his "Phoenix Blood"?
"Double the Primordial Pill, what a generous offer indeed."
Xie Xuanyi stroked his chin.
He glanced towards the main seat.
The Netherworld Third Young Master happened to cast his gaze over. The two exchanged looks, and the latter smiled faintly, everything unspoken in the silence.
"Apologies."
While watching Netherworld Third Young Master, Xie Xuanyi politely replied to the maid: "Please convey my gratitude to the Third Young Master. I understand his good intentions."
With this answer, the maid could do nothing more.
She could only obediently return and whisper to the Netherworld Third Young Master’s ear.
"This surname Lu... does he find the Primordial Pill insufficient?"
Receiving this response, the Netherworld Third Young Master was somewhat surprised.
He had previously locked eyes with this Venerable Lu, thinking the transaction would proceed smoothly.
Just a small drop of Essence Blood to exchange for two years of tributes—
This is something many Great Demons dream of!
"Interesting."
The Netherworld Third Young Master chuckled, finding the matter becoming more intriguing.
He waved his hand again, sending the maid out once more.
...
...
"Venerable Master."
The maid returned, this time placing a bag of Primordial Pills directly on the table.
"What does this mean?"
Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows.
"’Merely a modest gift, not worth mentioning.’... These are the exact words of the Third Young Master."
The maid sincerely said, "Venerable Master, regardless of whether the blood is lent or not... these Primordial Pills are yours. The Third Young Master wishes to be friends with you."
"Ah."
Xie Xuanyi turned to Ao Ying, lamenting, "Look at this, how the wealthy and powerful extend their hand... Merely a modest gift, not worth mentioning?"
Ao Ying’s lips twitched.
Struggling to suppress laughter.
These Primordial Pills might be plentiful for other cultivators.
But Xie Xuanyi is the Da Sui Sword Palace Master!
Moreover, the Demon Country is barren and Great Chu is wealthy... If it were to compare the quantity of Primordial Pills, even if the Netherworld Third Young Master brought out his father the Nether Sea Venerable, he definitely wouldn’t be a match for Xie Xuanyi.
These two bags of Primordial Pills are truly beneath Xie Xuanyi’s notice.
"Of course, the Third Young Master still hopes to borrow your demon blood."
The maid didn’t hear the deeply hidden teasing tone in Xie Xuanyi’s words.
She continued, "If Venerable Master is willing to lend the blood, the Third Young Master is willing to offer more Primordial Pills..."
"Really sorry."
Xie Xuanyi declined again, not taking the Primordial Pills on the table, but pushed them back: "I’m not interested in these Primordial Pills."
"This..."
The maid looked troubled.
She turned back, seeing the Third Young Master seated in the main seat, continuously watching.
Seeing the motion of Xie Xuanyi pushing back the Primordial Pills.
Displeasure appeared in the Third Young Master’s eyes, his expression turning gloomy.
Of course, Xie Xuanyi didn’t care how the Netherworld Third Young Master saw him...
But he also knew.
Now is not the time to put on airs.
This infiltration into Xuanchen Pavilion is primarily for the birthday invitation to the Great Saint Mountain on that day.
As someone newly entering the Yin God Realm as a Venerable.
He doesn’t have the qualifications to refuse in front of the Netherworld Third Young Master... The other party’s two invitations, the posture is sufficiently low.
Rejecting outright will only invite trouble.
Thus, he shifted his tone.
"Could you please convey again, that I am very willing to be friends with the Third Young Master."
Xie Xuanyi took a Jade Order from his sleeve, handed it to the maid, simultaneously gazing at the main seat’s Netherworld Third Young Master, with a face full of smiles.
"This demon blood... I can lend, of course, I have other things I desire."
...
...
This Jade Order was delivered into the hands of the Netherworld Third Young Master.
The maid conveyed the conversation between the two unchanged.
"This surname Lu, really knows not what good is..."
The Netherworld Third Young Master appeared indifferent outwardly, inwardly sneering.
Despite his frequent pronouncements that he came to this Xuanchen Pavilion today, considering all present as his friends.
But that’s just courtesy talk.
From the moment of his birth.
He, the Netherworld Third Young Master, has never been on the same level with these Great Demons!
His father is the Nether Sea Venerable!
How could he possibly be friends with these people?
Among all the Great Demons on the third floor of Xuanchen Pavilion, only Venerable Qing Ming and Venerable Yuan Huo have the qualifications to be his friends!
Clutching the Jade Order sent by Xie Xuanyi.
The Netherworld Third Young Master found it laughable deep down.
In his view, this fellow refused his Primordial Pills, only wanting to pose superior, leaving a good impression on him.
Ultimately.
Isn’t it still groveling to please him in the end?
"Brother Lu."
After pondering for a moment and adjusting his emotions.
The Netherworld Third Young Master sent Divine Thought into the Jade Order, speaking in a gentle tone: "Today, you and I met as if old acquaintances, just accept these Primordial Pills... Why be polite with me?"
"Third Young Master."
Xie Xuanyi received the Jade Order message, replying with a smile: "This gift is too precious, I can’t accept it."
The two exchanged pleasantries.
The Netherworld Third Young Master got straight to the point: "To be honest... I wish to borrow Brother Lu’s ’Phoenix Blood’ for a purpose."
Xie Xuanyi chuckled lightly.
Indeed, here it comes.
Previously, this exchange made the Netherworld Third Young Master believe Xie Xuanyi possessed Phoenix Blood.
"If Brother Lu doesn’t want Primordial Pills, I have other treasures..."
The Netherworld Third Young Master calmly smiled: "I heard Brother Lu comes from a loose cultivation background, despite being under the guidance of the Red Flame Great Venerable, still, as young, he must lack suitable treasures, right? How about I present Brother Lu with an Innate Spiritual Treasure?"
The price increased!
An Innate Spiritual Treasure is much more precious than two years’ worth of Primordial Pills.
For the young talents of the Great Holy Land, such cultivation resources as Primordial Pills are hardly scarce...
Innate Spiritual Treasures are limited in number.
Even young talents need to compete and fight for them!
"Spiritual Treasure?"
Of course, Xie Xuanyi had to feign ecstatic joy.
He curiously transmitted his voice: "Third Young Master... Just one drop of Phoenix Blood, and it can be exchanged for a Spiritual Treasure?"
"Naturally."
The Netherworld Third Young Master restrained his inner disdain, pretending magnanimously, saying: "Would the promise of this Young Master ever be false?"
It seems that the transaction is agreed upon.
Although an Innate Spiritual Treasure is valuable, it is nothing to him.
As long as he can obtain the Phoenix Blood, that’s all that matters.
It’s known that this transaction was rejected by both Yuan Huo and Qing Ming.
At their level.
Primordial Pills, Spiritual Treasures, talisman formations, feudal lands...
They already lack nothing.
"Third Young Master..."
The Netherworld Third Young Master didn’t anticipate, roughly after several dozen breaths, the Jade Order would ring out with a response.
Xie Xuanyi asked, in an extremely respectful manner, a question that nearly made the Netherworld Third Young Master jump.
"Could you add a little more?"
This probing left the Netherworld Third Young Master both angry and annoyed.
From the start, he believed, this surname Lu is not a good thing.
Good heavens...
This guy is truly insatiable!
He has been gradually increasing the price from one year’s Primordial Pills... Now reaching an Innate Spiritual Treasure, yet the other party still isn’t satisfied?
"What does Brother Lu want?"
The Netherworld Third Young Master restrained his emotions, suppressing his anger as he spoke.
"I want two Spiritual Treasures."
Xie Xuanyi cautiously said: "The Third Young Master speaks rightly, I am of humble origins, though I’ve joined the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, I don’t receive favor from my Master... Hard-pressed to have this opportunity, I should consider myself a bit. I wish for an offensive Spiritual Treasure and a protective Spiritual Treasure, preferably aligning with my Taoist Intent."
"..."
Upon hearing this.
The Netherworld Third Young Master’s expression visibly darkened.
This surname Lu... really dares to negotiate.
Who gave him the courage, truly demanding exorbitantly!
