Chapter 88: Prostrate Dragon and Phoenix Chick with the Picture Exhausted and the Dagger Revealed
"Hua Yunfei, you underestimate me too much!" Jiang Xuan smiled faintly, his spirit soaring, "Since I agreed, I will surely keep my word in the future."
"Good!" Hua Yunfei said no more, picking up the blank jade stone before him to focus on inscribing the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art.
"Then, Shaking Light Holy Maiden, what treasure do you have to ransom your life?" Jiang Xuan looked at the last captive, thinking it over, unable to think of what special treasure or technique this holy maiden might have.
"I am willing to hand over the Yaoguang Inheritance." Yao Xi's face lit up; this young demon head not acting immediately meant there was room for negotiation, and without hesitation she indicated she could hand over the Yaoguang Inheritance.
"How does it compare to an Emperor Scripture?" Jiang Xuan asked back.
"......"
Yao Xi fell silent. The highest inheritance of the Yaoguang Holy Land, the Hunyuan Yaoguang Technique, cultivated to the highest realm was no more than a Great Sage Level Secret Art; how could it compare to an Emperor Scripture? She herself had once obtained a rather extraordinary inheritance in her childhood, not inferior to the Yaoguang secret arts, but still far behind an Emperor Scripture.
This demon head was about to obtain two complete Emperor Scriptures; how could he still look favorably upon her scriptures?
"I have a secret treasure, the Guanghan Palace, which I obtained in my early years; it is extremely powerful. Relying on this treasure, I have several times turned misfortune into good fortune."
"This treasure is not bad, interweaving Dao and principle, but it is not enough to ransom your life."
Yao Xi fell silent again. The Guanghan Palace, placed in the outside world, would be enough for great powers to make a full-power attempt to seize it, but in Jiang Xuan's eyes, it seemed nothing special. This gave her a sense of frustration; among the three, she was actually the poorest one. Thinking it over, she actually discovered she had nothing special to bring out.
"Jiang Xuan, I have a plan that can make us a great fortune." Ye Fan stepped forward at this time, a light of wisdom flashing in his eyes.
"Tell me in detail!" Jiang Xuan was slightly surprised, looking strangely at Ye Fan. At this time, Ye Fan seemed to have awakened some special attribute.
"Hehe, a holy maiden of a holy land, what a great title. The holy land families look down upon the Eastern Wasteland Land; their holy maiden must be very valuable, right? Let the Yaoguang Holy Land hand over sources to ransom a person. Surely they would be happy to spend money to ward off disaster. If we plan it well, this may not be impossible. We won't ask for much, just ten thousand jin of Pure Source!" Ye Fan shook his head and swayed his brain, holding the trump card. If he were given a feather fan, he would truly be like Zhuge Liang reborn.
"Yes, Jiang Ge, ten thousand jin of Pure Source. That would fill several sacks, right? I've never seen so much source in my life. The sect master and Supreme Elder of Lingxu Dongtian don't seem to be so extravagant as to use source for cultivation." Pang Bo also had a look of excitement, as if he had found a road to wealth and riches.
Jiang Xuan turned his head, staring at the two friends, his eyes holding an indescribable charm.
He sighed slightly, and with a wave of one hand, a giant mountain piled up from sources appeared out of thin air, occupying this mountain range. The rich spirit energy rushed straight to the clouds, and various divine sources dazzled the eyes, rendering this space into a colorful fairyland. The extravagance of the method and the vastness of the wealth simply blinded the eyes of everyone present.
"Jiang Xuan, these... these are all sources? Those colorful ones are... divine sources?" Ye Fan's voice trembled, and he could hardly speak clearly.
"Jiang... Ge, a source mountain. How much... wealth is this?" Pang Bo swallowed his saliva, his voice trembling.
"Not much. Counting some magic treasures, spirit medicines, and materials, over one hundred million jin of Pure Source!" Jiang Xuan said with a laugh, waving his big hand, and the source mountain disappeared.
Ji Ziyue, Yao Xi, Hua Yunfei, Ji Biyue, and others all wore looks of shock. They were of extraordinary backgrounds and well-informed; they knew Jiang Xuan had won over one hundred million jin of Pure Source in the Northern Domain, but knowing was one thing, seeing was another. They were not short of sources for cultivation in their sects and families, but it was limited. A source mountain was unimaginable wealth; any holy land family would find it hard to produce so much wealth in a short time.
"If the money to buy your lives is not enough, I won't easily let you leave. After all, my two beloved kin and sworn brothers were forced to flee because of you all." Jiang Xuan said with a smile, like the warm spring sun, gentle and profound, revealing an elegant temperament and calm confidence, as if everything was under his control.
"The Guanghan Palace is already my most important magic treasure. Since you look down on it, then kill me." Yao Xi was desperate, her heart filled with sorrow. She never expected that a moment of curiosity about the secrets of the Holy Body would bring a disaster upon herself. She did not believe this demon head would be merciful; Ji Biyue's previous miserable state was still before her eyes. Thinking of this, she closed her beautiful eyes tightly, her expression desolate, her near-perfect face and radiant beauty waiting for Jiang Xuan to suppress and kill her.
"Jiang Ge, a holy maiden of a holy land has an extraordinary status. Why not place a forbidden restriction on her and make her a bed-warming maid for Jiang Ge? That would be high-class." Pang Bo said casually; he seemed to have been infected by some invisible disease from Ye Fan.
"The so-called beauty is ultimately just a handful of yellow earth, and dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth. A beautiful maiden in the world is no different from a fresh flower—either trampled by footsteps by the roadside or withering and growing old when the time comes, becoming ugly fertilizer to nourish the land." Jiang Xuan glanced at Pang Bo. Could it be that during the time he coexisted with the nineteenth descendant of Qing Di in the original trajectory, he had avoided Ye Fan's infection? And this time, that descendant of Qing Di was directly refined to death by him. Pang Bo and Ye Fan cultivated together for a long time; was Pang Bo infected by some attribute from Ye Fan?
Ye Fan: "......"
Pang Bo: "......"
Yao Xi: "......"
Just as several people were thinking about how to deal with Yao Xi, Hua Yunfei stepped forward, and Jiang Yushu handed it over.
Jiang Xuan received the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art. His Primordial Spirit swept over it, his expression sinking into it. The more he looked, the happier he became; the more he looked, the more he marveled. After a long time, he clapped his hands in praise and secretly said:
"Ruthless Emperor, worthy of being the most stunning empress from ancient to modern times. Her talent is unparalleled. This Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art just makes up for the missing part of my Eight Trigrams Furnace in refining and swallowing people." The Hengyu Sutra allowed Jiang Xuan to greatly increase the speed of fusing with the Divine Furnace of Li Fire, while the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art could give his Eight Trigrams Furnace more possibilities in devouring. Now, his Eight Trigrams Furnace ranked first among the three magic treasures and was his most powerful method.
"Brother Yunfei can leave at ease. My promise always counts." Jiang Xuan was immersed in joy and waved his hand to dispel the shadow of the Eight Trigrams Furnace suppressing above Hua Yunfei's head.
Hua Yunfei tidied his appearance, once again restoring the image of the Exiled Immortal with blue clothes fluttering and a spirit like jade. He cupped his hands, turned into a divine light, and left.
"Ji Biyue, is my Void Scripture ready?" Having obtained the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art, Jiang Xuan was in high spirits and looked forward to what benefits the Void Scripture could bring him.
His Great Translocation Talisman contained Space Rules. In the future, he would surely refine the complete Zhu Xian Four Swords, one of which was the Spatial Killing Sword. He was determined to obtain the Void Scripture.
"Ready, here it is." Ji Biyue stepped forward, holding the jade stone against her chest and moving slowly.
One step, two steps...
Jiang Xuan's eyes were cold as he watched Ji Biyue's performance.
Ji Biyue handed the jade stone inscribed with the Void Scripture toward Jiang Xuan. When the jade stone was fully held before Jiang Xuan, a bronze mirror hidden behind the jade stone was revealed.
"Careful," Shaking Light Holy Maiden Yao Xi exclaimed instinctively.
