Chapter 443 - Chapter 443: Chapter 140: Devouring Spirit Blood Realm (2/2)
having finished speaking, he raised his head and said to lin jing and qi yuanshu:
“this place is called the devouring spirit blood realm!”
qi yuanshu then asked:
“so how do we get out of here?”
the robed elder answered:
“our exchange of questions is complete, if you wish to ask more, it will cost you.”
qi yuanshu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he asked:
“what’s your fee?”
the robed elder answered with a laugh:
“each of you will give me one million midium grade spirit stones, plus ten midium grade or above yellow dragon elixirs, and i will tell you everything i know.”
these words from the robed elder made both lin jing and qi yuanshu frown.
a million spirit stones was no small sum.
qi yuanshu even let out a cold snort and said:
“humph!”
“you demand such a high price as if you have us cornered.”
“we could just capture you and force the information we need from you.”
but the robed elder showed no fear; instead, he pointed to the puppet that continued to walk forward and said to qi yuanshu:
“if you don’t want to become a puppet, it’s best not to fight with others lightly in the devouring spirit blood realm…”
“you’ve seen what happened to him…”
this remark from the robed elder sent a chill through the hearts of both lin jing and qi yuanshu.
only then did they realize…
the man had become a puppet because he had fought with qi yuanshu.
qi yuanshu felt even more uncomfortable, as he had indeed been involved in that fight.
therefore, qi yuanshu quickly circulated his spiritual power, conducting a thorough check of his own body.
however, the examination revealed no abnormalities.
lin jing, watching this man, secretly pondered for a while before speaking:
“a million spirit stones is too expensive…”
“how do we know whether spending this much is worthwhile?”
qi yuanshu also spoke up, saying to the robed elder:
“a million spirit stones, quite a bold ask…”
“we’ll give you, at most, a hundred thousand spirit stones for the information in your mouth.”
the robed elder scoffed and said:
“a hundred thousand spirit stones…”
“do you really think i am so easily dismissed?”
“if it wasn’t for the fear of you meeting your demise tonight and me getting nothing, i wouldn’t bother telling you all this.”
“let me tell you now, if nothing unexpected happens, i estimate you newcomers won’t even survive the night.”
the words of the robed elder made lin jing and qi yuanshu even more vigilant.
so it seemed, the devouring spirit blood realm was indeed not as calm as it appeared.
thus, lin jing continued:
“a million spirit stones is indeed too costly…”
“name a reasonable price that we can accept.”
the robed elder pondered for a moment, then said:
“alright, let’s forget the million…”
“each of you will give me two hundred thousand spirit stones, plus two yellow dragon elixirs.”
“i’ll tell you a few rules for surviving in the devouring spirit blood realm. after getting through this night, you’ll understand…”
upon hearing this, lin jing looked at the robed elder and directly said:
“a hundred thousand spirit stones, plus one yellow dragon elixir…”
the robed elder immediately objected:
“impossible, the price you offer is too low…”
“two hundred thousand spirit stones is already the lowest i can accept.”
however, lin jing did not mind the elder and instead said to qi yuanshu:
“fellow qi…”
“let’s go…”
qi yuanshu was still unclear about what lin jing meant, and he hesitated for a moment.
still, he trusted lin jing quite a bit, so he nodded in agreement and said:
“alright…”
with that, the two prepared to leave.
however…
this action from the two made the robed elder furrow his brows tightly:
“i believe you can afford it, do you really intend to ignore everything and die here?”
lin jing turned around, let out a light laugh, and said:
“besides you, there are certainly others here like you.”
“i believe, if you won’t accept a hundred thousand, there will surely be others who can accept the price of a hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones…”
hearing lin jing say this, the robed elder sensed trouble and quickly said:
“you…”
“aren’t you afraid they will ask for more?”
but lin jing did not pay attention to the man and continued to walk forward, and qi yuanshu, now understanding lin jing’s intention, followed suit.
as the two hadn’t walked far, the robed elder suddenly called out to them:
“fine…”
“a hundred thousand it is…”
“let’s make it clear, a hundred thousand spirit stones from each of you, plus one medium grade or higher yellow dragon elixir, and if it’s any less than this, then find someone else.”
seeing the robed elder say this, lin jing immediately understood.
it seemed that a hundred thousand spirit stones was indeed his bottom line…
afterward, lin jing and qi yuanshu took out two hundred thousand spirit stones and two yellow dragon elixirs, ready to proceed.
then, lin jing said to the robed elder:
“we will first give you a hundred thousand spirit stones and one yellow dragon elixir. after you finish speaking, we will give you the remaining half…”
“at the same time, i need you to swear by your soul spirit, ensuring that everything you tell us is true…”
after a moment of silence, the robed elder replied:
“fine…”
