With just a glance on the jade slip, Dong Xu found a sense of direction. Unfortunately, the content was half-complete!
With this jade slip, Dong Xu was already able to find the correct direction for his breakthrough.
If he obtains the full content, he would be able to discover the bottleneck that was preventing his breakthrough.
Once he discovers it, he could then progress to the next cultivation level. The resources and pills needed to ensure a higher success rate are just a secondary consideration.
Right now, Dong Xu had yet to even find the threshold for his breakthrough. Why should he be worried about the means to overcome the threshold?
Dong Xu gulped.
At first, he was the person who held the higher ground in the negotiation with Ning Fan. But now, he was silenced merely by a jade slip from Ning Fan.
Little kid, whose experience is this...
Although Dong Xu had been researching the power of the Void Realm for more than a thousand years, he could at most have a general idea after seeing the content of the jade slip.
But the more his mind lingered on the content, the clearer his understanding of the power of the Void Realm.
When all his doubts about the power of the Void Realm are cleared, he would then be ready to achieve the Void Refinement Realm!
"Little friend... Tell me! What are your conditions for me to exchange for the complete jade slip?!"
Dong Xu completely forgot how imposing he was just now.
Now, Venerated Dong Xu, one of the Seven Venerated of the Internal Endless Sea, showed signs of giving way to Ning Fan for the first time.
He knew that the jade slip given by Ning Fan was imprinted from the latter’s memories.
He could opt to access the latter’s memories by performing the Soul Memory Searching Technique. However, doing so would only make the latter’s memories be fragmented into pieces. If he misses out something crucial, he would then feel regret for the rest of his life.
"Firstly, keep any information about me confidential. Secondly, I am interested in the magical treasure that could resist the sense of the Void Fragmentation Realm experts. Moreover, other than performing divination using your True Immortal’s Blood for me, I want you to help me three times... As for the thousands of Immortal’s Abode Magical Treasures and 17 Divine Transformation Realm spiritual puppets, I want them all. In other words, I want nothing less from what you have promised me earlier. Apart from that, I want you to swear the Great Oath of Heart’s Devil to grant me the benefits that you’ve promised. Only then will I give you the other half of the content!"
Ning Fan faintly smiled.
Now, he had just turned the table around.
Actually Ning Fan was impressed by Dong Xu’s profoundness in the art of divination as well as the latter’s deep understanding about luck. Furthermore, Dong Xu also had high mastery in refining Immortal’s Abode Magical Treasures and the secret arts of spiritual puppets. Ning Fan only had limited knowledge about all the techniques and knowledge mentioned above even though he inherited the memories of Ancient Chaos Emperor.
This man is a rare talent. There is no reason for me not to entice him when I have the means.
Perhaps, in the near future, I might need to rely on his divination to avoid a huge calamity!
"Er..."
Dong Xu grasped the jade slip in his hand, struggling within his mind.
After getting to the Peak Divine Transformation Realm, he would be bullshitting if he said that he did not want to progress into the Void Refinement Realm.
I was the one talking about conditions with him. But how come the tables have turned...
"Erm... About our earlier agreement, you said you are willing to marry Ling Er, right?" Dong Xu suppressed his desire. He would rather prioritize Xu Qiuling’s life rather than breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm.
He is really a good teacher that is hard to come by...
"I , Zhou Ming, welcome all women. I will never reject any of them. But I suppose that Mistress Qiuling may not be willing to marry me... Anyway, even if we aren’t husband and wife, I have already intended to save her. Besides, the sword qi of the fragment of the Immortal Entrapping Sword is rather essential to me. But I have to delay this matter! After the completion of my mission in the Secret Realm, I will certainly come to save her."
"Very well! Then this old man will swear the Great Oath of Heart’s Devil. Since you promised to save Ling Er and also...will give me the remaining half of the jade slip, I, Dong Xu, hereby give you my word to fulfill all the conditions of our agreement!"
Yu Long was stunned.
Dong Xu? This old man who acts like a lunatic is Dong Xu, one of the Venerated Seven of the Internal Endless Sea?!
He felt his sense of worth plunging deeper as he was not on the level of being able to understand the conversation between his own master and Venerated Dong Xu.
The only idea he got was that the venerated being in the Internal Endless Sea yielded to his master, Ning Fan.
This is way too crazy...
Note:
1. Ling Er(灵儿) is also Xu Qiuling(许秋灵). Er is a suffix for noun which is used to address someone in a more affectionate manner.
