Chapter 1898

"You're not in a match? Still have time to find me?"

Lingge Sovereign's red lips parted slightly, her voice clear and cold.

"I just need to split off a thread of thought, no need to focus entirely."

Xu Jingming explained with a smile.

As he spoke, his gaze swept over her without a trace.

Like Shuangmian, Lingge is also a cold and beautiful woman.

But within this cold demeanor,

there is mixed a unique mature woman's charm, like a ripe fruit, rich and lush.

"Elf race, indeed has a different charm."

Xu Jingming secretly sighed in his heart.

Shuangmian Teacher is icy and clear, lofty and proud.

While this one before me is like moonlight, clear and lush.

"Just splitting off a thread of consciousness is enough?"

Lingge Sovereign couldn't help but speak:

"If those alien sovereigns you're slaughtering knew your words, they'd probably hate you to death."

Just splitting off a thread of thought, you can crush the Immortal Sovereign on the virtual arena.

This isn't just arrogance, it's naked contempt.

"They don't know, but they still hate me just the same."

Xu Jingming shrugged, indifferent.

"Hmph, you're quite arrogant."

Lingge Sovereign let out a light hum, turned sideways to make way, "Come in."

She turned and walked inside.

Xu Jingming followed behind her.

The silk robe swayed lightly with her steps.

The clinging fabric perfectly outlined her full, upright curves.

As her waist swayed, it stirred heart-stopping ripples.

A pair of bare feet stepped on the floor, ankles slender.

Calf lines smooth and straight, each step felt like stepping on someone's heart.

Xu Jingming followed behind her, his gaze calmly sweeping the living room.

The living room is spacious and bright, furnishings simple yet everywhere revealing the elf race's unique elegance.

The air is filled with a faint herbal fragrance, intertwining with the natural cool scent Lingge emits.

"Sit."

Lingge Sovereign casually pointed to the sofa beside her, then sat down first.

She leaned back lazily, the silk robe tightening slightly with the movement, the curve before her chest becoming even more heart-stopping.

A pair of long jade legs naturally crossed, fully revealed from the slit in the robe's hem.

Skin so white it dazzles, leg shape perfect.

Not an ounce of excess flesh, yet full of lush sensuality.

"What do you need me for?" Her silver eyes fixed on Xu Jingming, getting straight to the point.

"Indeed, there are some things I'd like to ask."

Xu Jingming sat opposite her, no beating around the bush.

He clearly described his idea once.

Regarding the use of life-seeds, based on the existing divine body.

Developing a T0-level secret art that can preserve life and revive even if the divine body is completely obliterated.

Lingge Sovereign listened quietly, her moon-like silver eyes flashing with light.

After Xu Jingming finished, she gave a slight nod:

"Taking the life-seed as core.

Combined with your current divine body traits, it's indeed a bold and feasible idea."

She paused, red lips curling into a neither-smile-nor-not arc:

"But, why should I help you?

Don't forget, your teacher Shuangmian is my mortal enemy."

The words fell.

Lingge Sovereign's eyes rolled, suddenly her body leaned forward.

Elbows propped on knees, supporting her fragrant cheek, this posture made her fullness almost break free from the silk robe's restraint.

She blinked her silver eyes, carrying a hint of teasing:

"How about you become my disciple? Then I can naturally guide you in creating secret arts."

"If you want to do that, I have no objection."

Xu Jingming said it's fine by him.

"Tsk, forget it."

Lingge Sovereign suddenly leaned back on the sofa, waved her hand, "I really wanted to take you in during your cosmic stage.

Now you're at sovereign stage, your combat power rivals that of the supreme sovereign."

"If I were to take you as a disciple on top of that, wouldn't I become a joke?"

Although she was quite tempted by this proposal, she ultimately chose to refuse.

"However." She changed the subject, curiosity rising in her eyes:

"How many challenges did you accept this time?"

"Over seventy thousand." Xu Jingming did not conceal it.

"Over seventy thousand?!"

Lord Lin Ge's beautiful eyes suddenly widened, her crossed legs uncrossing and lowering, her body leaning slightly forward:

"Over seventy thousand matches, each with a stake of 100 Source Coins.

That is to say, if you win them all, you'll walk away with over seven million Source Coins?!"

Even with her Supreme Ruler's state of mind, at this moment she was shocked by this figure into a slight loss of composure.

You must understand, in order to redeem a Return-to-Source Token, she had nearly exhausted the Contribution Points she had accumulated over these years!

And Xu Jingming?

A single public challenge, and he effortlessly swept up seven million Source Coins!

Not only did he not have to spend money on the Return-to-Source Token, he even earned a huge sum!

Comparing people to people, it makes one die of envy!

"You've only just entered the Return-to-Source Hall on your first day, and you can already earn this much?"

Lord Lin Ge exclaimed in amazement, then her gaze flashed.

She lazily leaned back against the sofa once more, her long beautiful legs crossing elegantly again.

She glanced sideways at Xu Jingming, her red lips parting slightly, speaking in a slow, unhurried manner:

"Want my guidance? Sure.

One million Source Coins, and I'll impart my understanding of the Origin of Life to you.

As well as the essence of the relevant secret scriptures treasured by the Spirit Race, holding nothing back."

"Deal, no problem."

Xu Jingming agreed with a nod, almost without any hesitation.

One million Source Coins.

In exchange for a genuine life-saving T0-grade secret technique prototype and crucial guidance.

In his view, it was a steal.

"You actually agreed?" This time it was Lord Lin Ge's turn to be stunned.

She had originally meant it with a bit of teasing and a lion's-share asking price, waiting to see Xu Jingming haggle.

After all, this stuff wasn't a true T0-grade secret art, worth at most a hundred thousand Source Coins.

But she never expected Xu Jingming wouldn't bargain in the slightest!

Thinking of this.

She subconsciously sat up straight, her silver moon eyes carefully sizing up the man before her.

Xu Jingming wore a set of black battle attire.

His physique was robust and tall; sitting there he naturally exuded a restrained sense of pressure.

His pitch-black eyes were calm like an abyss, his facial features angular and distinct, handsome with a touch of resoluteness.

More important was his conduct and style.

Faced with his teacher's mortal enemy making things difficult for him, he actually agreed without hesitation to the sky-high price of one million Source Coins.

This courage, this character......

"That guy Shuang Mian really has luck on his side!"

Lord Lin Ge suddenly turned her face away with some irritation.

She waved her hand through the void.

Several books emitting a faint green glow manifested out of thin air, landing lightly on the tea table.

"I won't take your Source Coins."

Her voice returned to cold indifference, "You read these secret manuals first.

They are all the Spirit Race's core inheritance guidance regarding the Origin of Life. If you have questions, come find me."

She paused, then added:

"Don't misunderstand, I'm doing this only for the sake of us both being Eternal Star Alliance members.

It's not like I'm giving you any special treatment."

Xu Jingming picked up the secret manuals, his divine sense sweeping over them, his heart delighting.

These secret manuals recorded none other than the Spirit Race's most core mysteries regarding the Life Core and Life Seed!

Among them were even Lord Lin Ge's own partial insights into the Origin of Life!

This gift was no small matter.

"Many thanks." He said seriously.

"Nothing to thank for."

Lord Lin Ge waved her hand, rising and walking toward the inner chamber:

"I'm going to cultivate, you study on your own. Come find me again if you have questions."

Her figure disappeared behind the door, leaving only a faint fragrance of grass and trees.

Xu Jingming looked at the secret manuals in his hand, the corner of his mouth curling up slightly.

This Supreme Ruler of the Spirit Race.

She says she hates it, but her actions are generous.

He no longer delayed, teleporting back to the villa and beginning his research.

A life-saving secret technique — he had to develop it as soon as possible.

Only then could he be completely at ease.
