Chapter 117: Gentle and soft village

“What does your inability to acquire the aurichalcite have anything to do with me? It just means that your strength wasn’t enough and it was stolen by someone else.” Ye Fan glared at him as he continued: “Daoist, you aren’t thankful and actually act against me.”

“Little fellow, you really have quite a stubborn mouth, I was the first to reach the Demon Emperor’s Yin Tomb and there was nobody in sight, how could it have been stolen by someone else? Till now you still attempt to fool me, this Daoist would really love to slap you to death.” Having said this, he exposed an expression of amazement on his face: “In such a short time you actually managed to reach the Spiritual Bridge realm, this is really inconceivable, you can’t be much worse than me back in the day.” The fat cultivator began to circle around him: “Could it be due to the aurichalcite?”

“Whether my person has the aurichalcite, could it be that you can’t sense it?” Ye Fan said in a steady voice.

“You were too dastardly, actually throwing the jade pendant that I gave you deep into the mountainous region, making this Daoist waste time to look for you before finally discovering you.” The unscrupulous cultivator glared at him as he questioned: “Where is the aurichalcite?”

Ye Fan immediately recalled that piece of damaged Jade pendant, it did not only lack a corner but was also fragmented, similar to a piece of broken rock. It seemed that throwing it was the right decision, this fatty had actually wanted to follow him.

“Daoist, since we actually met again, it means we actually have some fate, I don’t have anything to hide from you so I might as well tell you the truth.” Ye Fan continued with a serious expression on his face: “Back then, the aurichalcite was indeed thrown away but it was not thrown into the deep pond.”

“I naturally realise that it was not within the deep pond!”

“Later, I wanted to look for it but realised that a crazed old man had already snatched it up, he laughed and cried and seemed insane, there was simply no way to follow him……” Ye Fan immediately described the appearance of the old man.

The fat cultivator sucked in a breath of cold air as he muttered: “One year ago, a person within the Yan State actually saw such an old man, it’s rumoured that he is…….” Having said this, he suddenly cut his words short before staring at Ye Fan: “You’re a really dishonest crook, back then this gentleman actually bared his heart before you.”

“Daoist, one has to speak with their conscience, back then you actually stole three of my spiritual artifacts, who’s the dishonest one?”

The unscrupulous cultivator glared at him as his eyes suddenly seemed to become empty, black like an endless abyss without any colour. His tone was low as he spoke: “Was it really stolen by a crazed old man? What did he look like?”

Ye Fan felt light-headed, it seemed as though the other party wanted to forcefully break through his mind, however, he was not afraid. His current divine sense had already formed a golden lake, it was not weaker than anyone else. He did not retaliate but rather allowed the image of the crazed old man to appear within his mind as he replied: “That’s right, it was stolen by a crazed old man, I was unable to chase him.”

When the unscrupulous cultivator saw the image of the crazed old man, his entire body began to violently tremble as his empty eyes suddenly regained their light, exposing an expression of incredulity: “It’s really that person…….”

The bewitching woman by the side with her red birthmark had a faint smile on her face as she asked: “What sort of person could possibly scare our Duan Daoist into such a state?”

“Haven’t your demon race heard of the events that transpired one year ago?” Duan De said in a heavy voice: “A person who should not exist within this world suddenly appeared within the Yan State.”

“More or less heard about it, I feel that it may not be true, so many years have passed, who could still recognise him.”

Duan De shook his head: “It can’t be wrong, that person was a peerless expert back in the day, several paintings of him have been left behind, I was fortunate to see one such painting.”

“Siii”

The beautiful lady with a red birthmark between her brows sucked in a breath of cold air: “A peerless expert six thousand years ago, he actually still lives, do you think that he is become an immortal soon?”

The unscrupulous cultivator shook his head: “Doesn’t seem likely, some people have seen his crazed and unkempt state, there’s a problem with his mind, how could he possibly become an immortal.”

“There are really immortals within this world?” Ye Fan who was by the side asked.

“Whether immortals exist, no one can say for certain, but peerless experts that are able to live for several thousands of years are certainly present.” The woman from the demon race pinched his cheeks as she continued: “Work hard, maybe you will be able to reach that level one day.”

“You people…… won’t harm me?”

This slender lady from the demonic race blew a seductive breath of air at him as he daintily laughed: “Relax, your life isn’t in danger.”

The unscrupulous cultivators eyes once again became empty, he did not give up as he continued to gaze into Ye Fan’s eyes: “How did he discover the aurichalcite?……”

Ye Fan accommodated him, creating an image of the crazed old man picking up the aurichalcite in his mind before bitterly laughed as he floated away.

Seeing such a scene, the unscrupulous cultivator had a disappointed expression on his face, as though all the strength had left his body as he sighed: “The most precious treasure that was known throughout the Central Province, it actually came into my possession but was thrown away like rubbish, i failed to recognise it for what it was, losing it forever, regret!”

Ye Fan heard his words and was extremely insincerely as he said: “Next time, try to be more thorough.”

The unscrupulous cultivator Duan De had indignation and regret written on his face as he continued: “Falling into the hands of that person, I simply have no way to get it back. That crazed old man still lives, this is simply too shocking.”

“I wonder if the blood essence of the demon emperor has been prepared?” He lifted his head as he gazed at the lady from the demon race.

“Daoist, please rest easy, we will will not renege on our promise, the drop of blood essence of the demon emperor will be yours.” The lady’s smile was seductive and bewitching as she gently clapped her jade hands. From the depths of the cherry blossom forest, a beautiful female who bared her shoulders wearing a five coloured silk dress carried a jade case with an embroidered cloth covering it.

The lady with a red birthmark between her brows gently received it as she smoothly opened it, exposing a sparkling and radiant lustre, a crystal the size of a fist appeared within the jade case, exceptionally brilliant.

Within the centre of the crystal was a drop of red blood which flashed with a golden glow, it was sealed within while endless vitality flowed within, a vast amount of the qi essence of life could be faintly felt trembling.

The unscrupulous cultivator swept his depressed gaze over as his spirit immediately lifted: “Blood essence of the demon emperor!”
