Chapter 882: Time is Ticking

Gui Yingjun rolled his eyes upon seeing this, "If there was a problem, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Alright, I, the Ancestor, still need to cultivate, I'm leaving first."

After saying this, he waved his palm, and a Jade Pendant flew to Wang Jianqiang's side.

Then, his figure flashed and vanished from sight.

Only a voice remained echoing in the great hall, "In the future, if you encounter any danger within the sect, you can send a message directly to me."

Wang Jianqiang's eyes lit up.

He hurriedly put the Jade Pendant away.

Hearing the sound of Gui Yingjun leaving, Wen Tiansheng's expression stiffened.

Encountering danger within the sect?

With Wan Guiyuan's current status, what danger could he possibly have within the sect?

The Ancestor was clearly aware of his voice transmission to Wan Guiyuan and was backing Wan Guiyuan up.

Thinking of this.

His face couldn't help but darken.

The reason he had made such a heavy promise earlier was actually with the intention of pacifying Wan Guiyuan first, and then reneging on the debt or paying only a portion later.

As a dignified Great Vehicle Stage cultivator, what was wrong with reneging on a little debt?

Could a little Nascent Soul Stage brat really bite him?

Anyway, once the Ancestor went into seclusion, he would be the boss of the Beast Taming Sect, and no one would be able to manage him.

Who could have imagined that the Ancestor would actually leave behind such a move.

That was ten drops of Jade Marrow Liquid~~~

The Jade Marrow Liquid was left behind by the founding master and could not be replicated.

The Beast Taming Sect had been frugal and sparing, only using it until now.

Even so, there were less than twenty drops left.

Usually, every time a drop was used, it required repeated deliberation and discussion before a decision could be made.

And now, more than half was gone in one go!

It was truly bleeding him dry~~

As for the hundred drops mentioned earlier, that was purely bragging.

After all, one couldn't reveal the sect's bottom line to a Nascent Soul Stage disciple, right?

If it got out, wouldn't the Beast Taming Sect's family assets be known by everyone?

Naturally, one had to exaggerate a bit.

After putting away the Jade Pendant left by Gui Yingjun, Wang Jianqiang looked at Wen Tiansheng.

Seeing Wen Tiansheng's expression changing constantly, yet he just wouldn't take out the Jade Marrow Liquid.

He couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

This old fogey, he wouldn't be thinking of reneging on the debt, would he?

This old fogey had no character to speak of, so it was highly probable he would do it.

Thinking of this, he coughed dryly, "Sect Master, didn't you say you were going to give me ten drops of Jade Marrow Liquid?"

"Now that the Ancestor has left, you can proceed."

Wang Jianqiang's voice woke Wen Tiansheng from his endless struggle, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

After his gaze flickered for a moment, he looked at Wang Jianqiang earnestly, "Guiyuan, it is not easy for me, the Sect Master, to manage such a large sect."

"The resources within the sect are also very limited."

"As an outstanding disciple of our Beast Taming Sect, and the one I value most, you should cherish the sect and be considerate of the Sect Master..."

"Sect Master, you aren't thinking of going back on your word, are you?" Wang Jianqiang interrupted Wen Tiansheng directly.

Wen Tiansheng's expression stiffened, then he laughed again, looking at Wang Jianqiang with a face full of reproach, "What kind of talk is that? As Sect Master, how could I go back on my word?"

Wang Jianqiang curled his lip secretly, "Then what do you mean?"

"Ahem, we have many people in the sect, and resource allocation is very difficult."

"Furthermore, I have always advocated for unity and friendship among sect members, and since you are one of our sect's most outstanding disciples, you should set an example."

"Let's swap those ten drops of Jade Marrow Liquid for ten drops of True Spirit Liquid."

Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

The function of True Spirit Liquid was the same as Jade Marrow Liquid, but its efficacy was more than several grades lower than Jade Marrow Liquid.

Moreover, True Spirit Liquid could be continuously produced; although the yield was extremely low, it was, after all, something that could be replicated.

Whereas Jade Marrow Liquid was something that decreased with every drop used.

In terms of value, True Spirit Liquid and Jade Marrow Liquid simply could not be mentioned in the same breath.

This old fogey's skin was too thick; he actually had the nerve to voice such a shameless request, and he even said it so righteously.

Wang Jianqiang looked at Wen Tiansheng with a sneer, "That sounds nice, but isn't it just that you don't want to give me the Jade Marrow Liquid? If this isn't going back on your word, then what is?"

"Guiyuan~ the sect raised you, do you not have even a shred of affection for the sect? Do you not even have the spirit to make this little contribution to the sect?"

"Of course I have affection for the sect, Sect Master. Give me the ten drops of Jade Marrow Liquid first, and when the sect needs them in the future, if I haven't used them up yet, I will definitely donate all the Jade Marrow Liquid to the sect unconditionally."

"Guiyuan, aren't you taking me, the Sect Master, for a fool? By that time, would your ten drops of Jade Marrow Liquid still be left?"

"It was you, Sect Master, who took me for a fool first."

"Hey? How are you talking? No sense of hierarchy?"

"That's how it is, what are you going to do about it?"

"Damn it, you little brat, have you rebelled?"

"Pah, you shameless old geezer, you don't keep your word!"

"You dare insult the Sect Master? Fine, fine, fine, watch how I deal with you!"

"If you dare to go back on your word, I will contact the Ancestor immediately."

As Wang Jianqiang's voice rang out again, Wen Tiansheng's expression suddenly stiffened.

The previously frantic look on his face instantly transformed into a benevolent smile, "Ahem, ahem, ahem, Guiyuan, the Sect Master was only joking with you, why are you getting so worked up? You child are too serious."

Half an hour later.

With a faint smile on his face, Wang Jianqiang returned to the Residence Space.

Inside his Space Ring, there was not only an extra Immortal Bone but also an extra Jade Bottle.

Contained within the Jade Bottle were the ten drops of Jade Marrow Liquid extorted from Wen Tiansheng.

Thinking of the heartbroken expression that old geezer Wen Tiansheng wore when he took out these ten drops of Jade Marrow Liquid, Wang Jianqiang could not help but feel a wave of satisfaction in his heart.

"You're back?"

He had just returned to the Pavilion hall.

A flash of Spirit Light appeared before him, and a stunning figure had already manifested in front of him.

"Why were you gone so long?"

Xuan Ji looked at Wang Jianqiang, her expression somewhat dissatisfied.

"There was quite a lot to discuss."

Wang Jianqiang smiled.

Xuan Ji had not the slightest interest in the content of the conversation between Wang Jianqiang and Wen Tiansheng.

She nodded.

A long dress fell to the ground.

"Time is tight, let's hurry."

Five days later.

Xuan Ji's closed eyes suddenly snapped open, and she looked at Wang Jianqiang, who was standing to the side observing.

Ignoring Wang Jianqiang's unbridled gaze, she said with a face full of astonishment, "What miraculous Purification Power!"

Although she had previously seen Wan Guiyuan use the Purification Power on Jiuyou.

At that time, she had only sensed the reduction of Asura Power within Jiuyou's body and had not discovered the specific manifestation of the Asura Power after it had been purified.

It was only just now, after experiencing it personally, that she realized.

After the Asura Power was purified, it actually transformed into a pure force that could be refined and absorbed.

Because the Purification Power was limited and the amount of Asura Power purified was very small, she had not refined and absorbed much.

But relying on the powerful perception of a Great Vehicle Stage Cultivator, she keenly discovered.

Refining this purified Asura Power could not only increase her own cultivation but also deepen her connection with the Asura Magic Treasure.

If things continued in this manner, her connection with the Asura Magic Treasure would sooner or later surpass that of Luo Ling.

By then...

Not only could she clear away the mark Luo Ling had left in the Asura Magic Treasure, but she could also claim this powerful Asura Magic Treasure as her own!

Thinking of this, her eyes suddenly lit up.

With a flick of her thought, a powerful force suddenly appeared around Wang Jianqiang.

Wang Jianqiang's body involuntarily flew toward Xuan Ji.

His expression stiffened.

Again?

The medicinal power of the Sublimation Pill he had taken earlier had already been exhausted.

If Xuan Ji didn't know her own strength...

"Ji Jie, don't..."

"My Purification Power consumes too much to be used indefinitely; it requires a period of rest."

"One must not be too hasty!"
