The people in the room fell silent for a moment.
“Yes, there is indeed a batch.”
The other party replied slowly.
It seemed that Elder Linghua’s sensing was correct; Su Ling was somewhere in the Ruin Grave Plain.
Tang Xin took out a healing herb from her storage bag and pushed it in from under the red cloth.
Although the senior sister of Xuanling Sect often used sect contribution points to purchase “services” at the Leisure Peak, she occasionally exchanged for some commonly used items to avoid meaningless consumption of persecution points.
In the Ruin Grave Plain, herbs, pills, and spiritual tools were more popular than spirit stones; this was a customary rule in the world of cultivation.
“The items are good,” the person inside spoke again, “What else do you want to ask?”
“Where are those people?”
Tang Xin asked.
In an instant, the temperature in the room dropped sharply.
“Who are you?” the woman inside said sharply, “Don’t you know this is something you shouldn’t ask?”
A powerful pressure bore down on them, and the three almost instinctively activated their dantians to retaliate, but in the end, Tang Xin managed to suppress it, slowly retreating with the other two.
“Since it’s information, as long as the price is right, it can be bought and sold; there’s no such thing as something you shouldn’t ask,” Tang Xin replied in a similarly unfriendly tone, “You are the Queen Bee; you should understand this rule better!”
“Hmph,” the woman said coldly, “I can make sure you never leave the hive… Now, tell me, who exactly are you!”
【Options generating…】
【Option One: “I am the future Demon Lord, the ultimate existence representing destruction and death, the Destroyer of Heaven revered by the Nine Provinces!”】
【Success probability: 1%, Reward: Demon Lord Control Order, Failure: be killed by a flurry of blades.】
【Option Two: “What does it matter who I am? I am Zhang San, and I am Li Si; if you want, just call me Zhang San Li Si?”】
【Success probability: 50%, Reward: “Zhang San Mask”, Failure: trigger battle scenario.】
【Option Three: “Red Snow Asura.”】
【Success probability: 50%, Reward: “Hero’s Comb”, Failure: trigger battle scenario.】
The difficult options had returned.
This time, not only were there two options with the same success probability, but the rewards were also described accordingly.
【Demon Lord Control Order: A mysterious magical item that can forcibly control those who harbor admiration, reverence, or fear towards the Demon Lord.】
【Zhang San Mask: A special item that, when worn, completely transforms the user’s appearance. Note: The appearance changes randomly and may not turn into the desired type.】
【Hero’s Comb: Applies a special effect to the face, changing the user’s appearance in the eyes of others. Note: A hero only needs to change their hairstyle to alter their identity, but if the hairstyle accidentally reverts, it could be dangerous.】
The Demon Lord Control Order was clearly too overpowered and unlikely to be obtained.
As for the mask and the comb, both served to change identity, and honestly, their drawbacks were quite silly…
“Red Snow Asura.”
Tang Xin said lightly.
This name was originally something she casually came up with while on a mission in the Hundred Poisons Mountain Range, but now it had appeared as an option.
A name appearing twice must have some significance according to the usual patterns.
【You have obtained the Hero’s Comb】
The woman inside the room did not retract the oppressive aura she had projected upon hearing the name.
“Hmph,” after a moment, the person inside finally spoke, “I need to think about this matter, you may leave for now.”
Phew, thankfully, a battle scenario was not triggered.
The stone door opened automatically, and the three women cautiously retreated.
“What is Red Snow Asura?” Xu Lexian asked, “Do you really have a past that you wish to forget?”
“Past my foot,” Tang Xin sighed in relief, “I don’t know where I heard that name, it just felt like a villain, so I used it…”
“The Queen Bee said to wait for news, not that she had nothing to say,” Shui Qiu pondered, “This means she might really know where the abducted genius cultivator is.”
“Yeah,” Tang Xin nodded, “Let’s not wander too far; if she wants to trade, she will naturally find us.”
…
During the waiting period, the three of them did not remain idle.
Having rushed over from Thunder Valley, they had all consumed some energy, and the Saintess, in particular, was still injured and in urgent need of supplies.
The environment in the Graveyard Plain was chaotic, but the advantage was that both righteous and evil items could be found, and there was a full variety.
“First, change our appearance to blend in with the crowd.”
Upon arriving in a new place, this was a standard procedure.
Tang Xin did not hastily take out the comb for everyone to use, as its effects were too peculiar and difficult to explain its origin.
“Second, restore our combat power.”
She needed to stabilize her newly broken-through realm, while the Saintess was busy gathering the necessary materials, and Shui Qiu…
“Senior Sister, I’m at Foundation Building Fifth Rank now!”
Leveling up was as easy as drinking water; well, this speed wasn’t too outrageous. Not turning into a Golden Core cultivator on the spot was already considerate of everyone’s feelings…
After a flurry of activity, the Saintess finally managed to buy various heavenly materials and earthly treasures needed to restore their combat power at the market.
“Tang Xin, help me circulate my Qi,” Xu Lexian said as she sat on the bed after taking her homemade “Saintess Soup.”
“The force of the impact might be a bit strong, but you must hold on; otherwise, we will be in great danger.”
The Master Sister of Xuanling Sect sat cross-legged, placing her hands on Xu Lexian’s back to indicate she was ready.
Xu Lexian spread her arms.
“What are you doing?”
Tang Xin asked in confusion.
“Help me take off my clothes; we need skin-to-skin contact,” the Saintess explained seriously, “Otherwise, it will affect the results.”
“This…”
She still wasn’t very sure if she could resist the fragrance of the Saintess, especially without any clothes on. Who knew what might happen?
“We’ve already bathed together and shared a bed, why are you still being so cautious?” The Saintess said with a sarcastic tone, “The senior sister of Xuanling Sect, is this all you can do?”
“Damn it,” Shui Qiu bit her finger on the side, “I also want to be close to senior sister…”
With the Saintess having such an attitude, Tang Xin had no choice but to take a step back, helping her remove her clothes, placing her palm on the Saintess’s body as the two began to heal.
An inexplicable force surged to her head, and Tang Xin felt dizzy, her palm sliding back and forth on the Saintess’s back…
【Assassination Strategy: Use both palms to stimulate the Saintess, causing her true energy to go awry. Assassination points: two thousand.】
Xu Lexian was using the energy from rare materials to heal her wounds when suddenly, a pair of hands reached around her waist.
Hey, this guy…!
She sensed that the senior sister of Xuanling Sect had already been affected by the energy within her, becoming disoriented.
For a cultivator who had just entered the Golden Core stage, the power within her was indeed too overwhelming. If it weren’t for the urgent situation and the lack of alternatives, she wouldn’t want Tang Xin to take this risk.
Well, since she’s currently disoriented and won’t retain any memories, it should be fine to let it happen… That was what the Saintess originally thought.
Until this guy started to explore further down, moving to places that shouldn’t be touched!
Crossing the line!
Although Xu Lexian was bold, she still valued her own purity. In a moment of panic, she channeled a burst of true energy to strike Tang Xin, trying to wake her up.
“Ah—”
Tang Xin shuddered twice, gasping for cold air, and instantly regained her senses.
“Poof—”
The Saintess, on the other hand, spat out a mouthful of blood, her face turning an abnormal shade of crimson.
This is bad, the true energy is going out of control!
“You all get out,” Xu Lexian quickly reminded, “I need to attempt a forced breakthrough!”
