Chapter 61 Ten Thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones
Xia Mengqi glanced at Xie Wanning with disdain.
Xia Mengqi is the senior disciple of the Nine Cauldrons Division. She possesses extraordinary talent and is the most outstanding disciple in the sect. At only eighteen years old, she can already refine sixth-grade pills, making her a once-in-a-century alchemy prodigy.
Xia Mengqi was usually pampered in the sect, and no one dared to disrespect her.
Now that Xie Wanning has hit him twice, how can he not be angry?
This time, the alchemy inheritance must be hers.
Ye Qianqian, who had just woken up, came to the arena.
Ye Qianqian, who possesses a top-grade water spiritual root, is quite talented in alchemy. In the past two years, she has learned a lot of alchemy techniques from Jiang Ci and has gained a good reputation in the Qingyun Sect through alchemy.
Xia Mengqi and Ye Qianqian exchanged a glance, both exuding an air of confidence.
Xie Wanning stood below the arena, sighing softly.
While body cultivation and sword cultivation might have some connection, she truly couldn't refine pills!
During her two years at Qingyun Sect, she only learned the Qingyun Sword Technique. The rest of the time she was busy dealing with trivial matters within the sect, and she didn't even learn the most basic first-grade recovery pill.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, what's wrong?" Si Jinchuan asked indifferently as he walked over, noticing Xie Wanning's dejected expression.
Upon hearing Si Jinchuan's voice, Xie Wanning forced a smile: "Brother Si, I'm afraid I can't be of much help with alchemy. I'm just a physical cultivator with well-developed limbs; I usually buy pills, how would I know how to refine them!"
"How will you know if you don't try? I think your swordsmanship is quite good," Si Jinchuan said with a half-smile.
"Brother Si, please stop joking. I don't have any sword skills. I'm just good at dodging and slashing. I even learned how to use the blade on the spot," Xie Wanning said, scratching her head sheepishly.
Her main purpose in going on stage was to spite Ye Qianqian, since Ye Qianqian had never gotten along with her before, and who would have thought that she would obtain the sword inheritance.
Si Jinchuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "I have some knowledge of alchemy, so I can go up and give it a try."
Xie Wanning's eyes lit up.
Si Jinchuan wields his broadsword so well, he must be quite skilled at alchemy as well. Moreover, she doesn't have much of an impression of Si Jinchuan, and Xie Wanning is very curious about him. She can take this opportunity to test his abilities during the alchemy session.
"Alright, then I'll wait for Brother Si to win the championship." Xie Wanning clapped her hands and cheered, encouraging Si Jinchuan.
Si Jinchuan's expression was cold, but his body was somewhat stiff.
The competition was about to begin, and Xie Wanning sat in the audience, ready to watch.
Suddenly, one of the little birds flew into Xie Wanning's hand.
Xie Wanning picked it up and saw the words "Look behind" written crookedly on it.
Xie Wanning was very puzzled. She turned around and looked back, which was the exit of the secret room. It was dark and she couldn't see anything there.
Xie Wan Ning pondered for a moment, then got up and walked towards the door.
Upon exiting the secret room, two slender figures appeared in the long corridor: one stood upright in place, while the other leaned casually against the wall.
"Fellow Daoist Zhuge, Fellow Daoist Lin, what is the meaning of this?" Xie Wanning took out a paper bird, took two steps back, and was somewhat cautious.
Xie Wanning had laid a hand on Zhuge Yun and Lin Jingquan, so she didn't think it was a good thing that the two of them had found her.
Zhuge Tian smiled, a hint of flattery in his smile: "Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Xu, on winning the sword competition. We have a favor to ask of you."
Before Xie Wanning could speak, Lin Jingquan interrupted her.
His voice was impatient, and he didn't even glance at Xie Wanning, as if seeing her was like seeing something dirty. From his clenched fists and the veins bulging on his forehead, it was clear that he didn't want to stay here for a moment longer: "Xu Weilin, to tell you the truth, we want to buy the sword inheritance in your possession. Tianyan Sect and Tianji Pavilion are not short of money. Just name your price."
Zhuge Yun's tone was gentle, yet full of threat: "Fellow Daoist Xu, do you know how dangerous your situation is right now? You have simultaneously severely injured disciples of the Qingyun Sect, the Tianyan Sect, the Tianji Pavilion, and the Jiuding Division. Although your abilities are quite outstanding, facing the pursuit of four major sects at the same time is probably not an easy task. If you can sell your sword dao inheritance to us, the Tianji Pavilion and the Tianyan Sect will not pursue you, and will plead with the other two sects for your life."
"Brother Zhuge, when did I ever say I would let him go... Waaah..." Lin Jingquan burst out like a thunderbolt, but Zhuge Yun covered his mouth tightly.
Zhuge Yun looked at Xie Wanning, a cold glint in his eyes that was hard to ignore: "What has Fellow Daoist Xu thought about it?"
"Okay!" Xie Wanning agreed readily.
"I'm just a cultivator, not skilled in swordsmanship, so this inheritance is useless to me. It's more practical to exchange it for money." Xie Wanning revealed a cheerful smile.
Zhuge Yun revealed a satisfied smile, while Lin Jingquan, who had broken free from Zhuge Yun's control, gave Xie Wanning a disdainful look and spat out a mouthful of saliva.
"Name your price," Lin Jingquan said magnanimously, arms crossed and chin held high. "We have money."
Xie Wanning felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, but she forced a smile: "Ten thousand high-grade spirit stones for a piece of inheritance."
"Are you crazy?!" Lin Jingquan pointed at Xie Wanning, almost jumping three feet high.
One hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones is the annual spirit stone expenditure of the Tianyan Sect.
Zhuge Tian's expression froze, the smile on his face vanished instantly, and his face darkened.
"Xu Weilin, you're taking advantage of my misfortune. You're shameless!" Lin Jingquan pointed at Xie Wanning's nose and cursed.
Xie Wanning yawned and said lazily, "Didn't you tell me to set the price? What? You've changed your mind? Does the Tianyan Sect not even have a measly 100,000 high-grade spirit stones?"
Lin Jingquan's face turned red with anger: "Of course we have them, but we won't give them to you, you scoundrel."
"A nobody? What if my cultivation level increases dramatically after I obtain the technique? I'll be a big shot then," Xie Wanning said nonchalantly, but her eyes were still observing Lin Jingquan's expression out of the corner of her eye.
He hesitated.
It goes without saying how much opportunity a successor from an ascended powerful being can bring.
Moreover, no one in the cultivation world has ascended to immortality for nearly a century. Such a legacy is priceless and unavailable in the outside world. There are plenty of people who can afford to pay 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.
Zhuge Yun also considered this advantage and disadvantage.
"The transmission of cultivation techniques requires the approval of a powerful being. How can you persuade the Invincible Daoist to pass on the techniques to us?" Zhuge Yun asked doubtfully.
"I have my own way." Xie Wanning quickly drafted two contracts, which read, "Tianyan Sect/Tianji Pavilion voluntarily gives Xu Weilin 100,000 high-grade spirit stones and will not pursue or kill Xu Weilin. In return, Xu Weilin needs to hand over her sword dao inheritance to Tianyan Sect/Tianji Pavilion. Contract established."
"How is it?" Xie Wanning smiled, her almond-shaped eyes full of sincerity and expectation.
Zhuge Tian and Lin Jingquan were both taken aback: they had thought the negotiations would end in a battle, but they never expected to actually obtain the inheritance.
"Okay." The two agreed in unison, their tone noticeably softening.
Xie Wanning, Zhuge Yun, and Lin Jingquan signed their names on the contract, dripped a drop of blood onto it, and silently recited, "Heaven and earth bear witness."
The contract emitted specks of golden light, indicating that it had been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, and those who violated it would be struck by lightning.
Suddenly, Xie Wanning had a flash of inspiration and leaned closer, saying, "Fellow Daoists, you must be feeling terrible seeing Qingyun Sect or Jiuding Division obtain the alchemy inheritance. If each of you is willing to pay one hundred high-grade spirit stones, I can make it much more difficult for the other two sects to obtain the inheritance, guaranteeing them a very unpleasant experience."
"Really?" Zhuge Yun asked suspiciously. A hundred spirit stones wasn't much, but he was curious about what Xu Weilin was going to do.
“Of course, money is money, service is service,” Xie Wanning said with a smile.
"If you really have this ability, why don't you compete for the inheritance of pills?" Lin Jingquan's curiosity was piqued. He had always been at odds with the spoiled and domineering Xia Mengqi. He was tempted by Xie Wanning's words, but he was still skeptical.
"I can't concoct medicine," Xie Wanning shrugged and blinked, "but I can cause trouble!"
Zhuge Yun and Lin Jingquan didn't care about the small amount of money, but they were very curious about Xie Wanning's words.
Soon, two hundred high-grade spirit stones entered Xie Wanning's storage bag.
Xie Wanning bowed in thanks, then immediately ran back to the secret room and jumped onto the arena.
The show is about to begin!
