Chapter 136: Promised

Tu Youyou stared intently at Wang Jianqiang, her cold and beautiful face revealing a trace of nervousness.

She had already been in Shenfeng City for half a month.

Upon arriving in Shenfeng City, she immediately went to challenge the Heaven-Reaching Tower, risking the aggravation of her injuries to ascend to the second position on the Shenfeng Ranking.

This was all to make a name for herself.

Afterward, she immediately issued a bounty, seeking to purchase a Pill to treat Soul injuries.

Facts proved that her line of reasoning was not wrong.

Relying on the powerful reputation of being second on the Shenfeng Ranking, her bounty information spread very quickly.

It was just a pity that Third-tier Soul-type Pills were far too rare.

The bounty had already been posted for over ten days, yet she still had not been able to find a Pill to treat her Soul injuries.

She could feel that her Soul injuries were continuously worsening.

If she continued to delay any longer, she feared she would no longer be able to suppress them.

At that time, her Soul would inevitably collapse, and she would perish.

With no other choice, she could only choose to take the initiative.

She had already inquired, and the person ranked first on the Pill Tower List was named Wang Jianqiang.

If there was anyone left in this Shenfeng City who could help her, it must be this person!

But what gave her a headache was that after Wang Jianqiang arrived in Shenfeng City, he had almost no dealings with others.

After some inquiries, she had failed to find out the specific location of his residence.

She could only bite the bullet and come to this area to try her luck.

To her delight, her luck seemed quite good; she had just arrived in this area when she bumped into someone who lived here.

There were not many people qualified to live in this area.

Aside from Mo Wuming, who ranked first on the Shenfeng Ranking, there were only top figures among the various Specialized Cultivators.

This person should, in theory, know Wang Jianqiang's residence.

Out of this thought, she had asked impatiently.

Hearing the woman's words, a strange look flashed across Wang Jianqiang's face.

At this moment, the woman's information had already appeared in his mind.

"Name: Tu Youyou

Gender: Female

Cultivation: Golden Core Initial Stage

Age: 26/500

Root Bone: Water Element Heavenly Spirit Root

Good and Evil Value: 0"

Tu Youyou?

He felt a bit strange in his heart.

He had not expected to hear this name in the Shenfeng Pavilion just a moment ago, and then immediately encounter the person herself.

If he had not guessed wrong, the other party coming to find him should be to ask him to help refine a Pill to treat Soul injuries.

And this kind of Pill, he actually seemed capable of refining.

Thinking of this, he smiled inwardly and sized up Tu Youyou.

Feeling Wang Jianqiang's unscrupulous gaze.

Tu Youyou frowned.

The Blood Demon Sect she came from was the largest Demonic Sect force in the Tianhuo Domain, and every Disciple within the sect was extremely murderous.

As the Saintess of the Demon Sect, her murderous nature was even more intense; she was a true demoness.

If she were not begging for help, she would likely have been unable to resist attacking and gouging out the eyes of the person in front of her by now.

Even so, her expression still turned cold.

"Daoist Friend, can you answer my question now?"

Quite a temper, huh~

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow, withdrew his gaze unhurriedly, and pointed to the door beside him, "He lives right here."

Tu Youyou frowned, "This is not where you live..."

Before she had finished speaking, she suddenly realized something and stared wide-eyed at Wang Jianqiang.

"You wouldn't happen to be Wang Jianqiang, would you?"

"The genuine article." Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, a look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on Tu Youyou's face.

"Why has Daoist Friend come to find Wang?"

Wang Jianqiang looked at Tu Youyou, asking despite knowing the answer.

Upon hearing this, Tu Youyou immediately came to her senses and cupped her hands toward Wang Jianqiang, "Greetings, Daoist Friend Wang."

"Youyou's purpose in coming this time is to ask Daoist Friend Wang to help refine a Pill."

Wang Jianqiang's eyes flashed, "What kind of Pill?"

"A Third-tier Pill to treat Soul injuries; can Daoist Friend refine it?"

After speaking, she stared intently at Wang Jianqiang, her face full of nervousness.

She had already thought of every method she could think of.

Wang Jianqiang was already her only hope.

If this alchemy genius ranked first on the Pill Tower List had no way, then she would have no choice but to perish!

Under Tu Youyou's somewhat apprehensive gaze, Wang Jianqiang nodded.

Tu Youyou's spirits were instantly lifted, "Please help me, Daoist Friend; Youyou will certainly be eternally grateful."

"Wang usually enjoys helping others, but Fairy Youyou may not know..."

Wang Jianqiang stopped halfway through his sentence and suddenly shook his head, not continuing, a look of difficulty appearing on his face.

Seeing this, Tu Youyou's heart skipped a beat, and she asked nervously, "Daoist Friend Wang, what is it? Is there some difficulty?"

"This..."

Wang Jianqiang looked at Tu Youyou, and after a moment of hesitation, he sighed, "Wang comes from a sect called the Junzi Sect."

"The sect's tenet is to uphold the Way of the Gentleman."

"What?"

"You~ you actually want to~~~!"

After hearing Wang Jianqiang's "difficulty," Tu Youyou's eyes widened.

Her expression immediately turned cold, "Impossible, I will not agree to that."

Wang Jianqiang smiled, "Since that is the case, Fairy Youyou should leave; Wang dare not bear this Karma."

"You!"

Tu Youyou's expression changed upon hearing this.

Her Soul injury was already reaching its limit.

If she left now, she would truly be gone!

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and forced her tone to soften, "Could you change the condition, Daoist Friend?"

Wang Jianqiang shook his head, "Fairy, Wang has already made it very clear to you; the Karma involved is not something Wang can control."

"The fruit is born from the cause; once the fruit is born, it cannot be changed."

"If Fairy cannot accept this, Wang can only say he is sorry."

"Moreover, Fairy seems to have not fully understood Wang's meaning; resolving the 'Karma' for Wang is a prerequisite to helping you, not a condition, and Wang has not yet received your payment."

"If Fairy can agree to help Wang resolve the Karma issue, then it will not be too late to discuss payment."

Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Tu Youyou's face turned from green to white.

She wanted to stab this shameless scoundrel to death with one sword, but she had to hold back.

Wang Jianqiang was the only person in Shenfeng City who could help her; she had no choice.

A moment later.

She took a deep breath, "Fine, I agree to resolve the Karma for you; now let's talk about the price."

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Wang Jianqiang's face.

"One Pill for three times."

"What?"

Tu Youyou's expression changed, "You shameless scoundrel, why don't you just go rob someone?"

"Wang never forces others." Wang Jianqiang shook his head and looked at Tu Youyou indifferently, "The same goes for you."

"I have already put forward the conditions; if you can accept them, we continue; if you cannot, then leave."

"Wang's time is very tight; I have no time to waste with you."

As he spoke, he pointed his finger.

A spatial rift appeared in front of the gate.

He turned around, about to walk inside.

"Wait!"

Just then, Tu Youyou's somewhat urgent voice came from behind.

Wang Jianqiang's figure paused, and he turned around indifferently to look.

Tu Youyou's expression shifted, and she gritted her teeth, "Fine, I agree."
