Chapter 243: Chapter 125: The Helpless Saintess, Rakshasa Puppet Technique Dominates a Nation
Obtaining the Refining Method was due to an immense stroke of luck? Senior Mu Shiba paid an incalculable price?
Next to her, Zheng Yunrui couldn’t help but glance at Lin Xuankong upon hearing this and then fell into silence.
Liy Ruoqing, upon hearing this, secretly admired. Senior Mu Shiba is indeed a man of great deeds. Such a grand lie could be spoken with a straight face in front of the three of us who know the truth! My second uncle often advises me not to fuss over minor details when aiming for big things, but I can never be as unabashed as Senior Mu Shiba, saying it so naturally while looking so unwilling! His thick skin is impressive.
Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er saw Lin Xuankong’s disdainful expression and couldn’t help but frown. However, having personally witnessed the miraculous Demon Prison Cage, how could she bear to give up?
"The Refining Method of this treasure is extremely important for Ying’Er! What price does Mr. Mu expect Ying’Er to pay in order to learn it from you? Another three Demon Fox Demon Pearls?" Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er asked.
Lin Xuankong slightly shook his head. "I already have plenty of Demon Fox Demon Pearls."
Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er frowned slightly. "Then how about one Demon Sparrow Demon Pearl? This Demon Pearl ranks high on the Great Xia Demon Pearl list and is extremely rare. Even a Martial Cultivator of the First or Second Layer can ride the Demon Sparrow to roam the void!"
Lin Xuankong’s heart stirred. He had to admit that the Third Princess was indeed very enticing... no, what the Third Princess offered, this Demon Sparrow Demon Pearl, was very tempting!
However, given his current state, a Demon Sparrow Demon Pearl wouldn’t significantly enhance his combat abilities.
As for flying, now that he was already at the Mid-grade Fifth Layer, how far could the Sixth Layer be? And once he reached the Sixth Layer, floating in the void at the Seventh Layer wouldn’t be far off either.
For other Martial Cultivators, reaching the Seventh Realm might be impossible in their lifetime, but for him, it might only take half a year.
Resist the temptation! Continue putting pressure on this girl!
Lin Xuankong shook his head again.
A hint of helplessness appeared on Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er’s pretty face.
"How about the Wood Treasure Pill? Even if Mr. Mu has immense strength and doesn’t need the Wood Treasure Pill, surely you have friends or relatives who do! The Wood Treasure Pill in my possession is more precious than the Treasure Elixir refined from Heavy Water Spiritual Objects. It can increase a Martial Cultivator’s Cultivation Speed by seventy percent after entering the Sixth Layer!"
Lin Xuankong immediately shook his head.
The Wood Treasure Pill sounded tempting, but when he intended to advance to the Sixth Layer in the future, he would surely choose a Wood Spirit Object, not the Great Xia Dynasty’s Wood Treasure Pill!
Seeing Lin Xuankong refuse repeatedly, even the usually calm Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er felt somewhat frustrated and helpless.
Hua Yanluo, the maid Qiing, and others nearby had long since grown numb from listening!
Hua Yanluo secretly thought: It’s understandable if he didn’t care about three Demon Fox Demon Pearls since Mu Shiba just obtained three of them. Too many Demon Pearls could be useless to a Martial Cultivator. After all, the True Qi of Martial Cultivators is limited. They generally keep only one or two, at most three Demon Pearls on hand. Having more would deplete their True Qi just activating them, leaving no energy to fight the enemy. But the Demon Sparrow Demon Pearl is one of the top-ranking Demon Pearls in Great Xia, with a single one worth ten Demon Fox Demon Pearls. A Demon Pearl of such immense value made even her heart pound upon hearing of it. Yet Mu Shiba still disagreed? And the Wood Treasure Pill... a prized Treasure that even Sixth-Layer Perfection Martial Cultivators yearn for! Yet Mu Shiba still disagreed?
The several hundred Martial Cultivators around listened to their conversation in secret, feeling as if they were about to exhaust their lifetime’s supply of shocked expressions!
Any of these Treasures, if placed before them, would be enough to drive them mad.
These were Treasures they could never obtain in their lifetime... yet Mu Shiba still disagreed?
What exactly does he want?
He couldn’t possibly want all of them, could he? someone wondered.
At that moment, the sound of something tearing through the air suddenly came from a distance, followed by the appearance of a huge flying Demon.
It was the Little Yu King, who had previously fled in panic, using the Giant Tiger Demon Pearl to escape.
He flew to a point over three kilometers away from the numerous Martial Cultivators, then recalled his Demon and landed on the ground.
The four Golden Armor Guards, who had recovered from their injuries using Marsh Python Gall, quickly ran to Little Yu King’s side. Among them, the Guard Captain with the Golden Armor and Golden Saber leaned close to Little Yu King’s ear and whispered something.
After listening to his Guard Captain’s whisper, Little Yu King’s expression flickered, his face alternating between pale and flushed. He then frowned and looked towards Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er. He sighed heavily and led his Golden Armor Guards toward them. When they were over thirty meters from the palanquin, he and his guards bowed to Xiaoo Ying’Er in unison and said, "The situation was urgent, and Changge had no choice but to flee. Please don’t blame me, Third Princess!"
Third Princess Xiaoo Ying’Er was already vexed by Lin Xuankong’s repeated refusals. Seeing the even more annoying Little Yu King approach, her frown deepened.
However... despite Little Yu King’s questionable methods, he had ultimately fought a battle to protect her and sacrificed two Late Stage Fifth-Layer Golden Armor Guards!
Moreover, whether he did it willingly or was persuaded by the Golden Armor Guard, he had bowed and admitted his mistake in front of hundreds of Martial Cultivators!
The usually even-tempered Xiaoo Ying’Er sighed softly and said, "Fighting a seventh-tier Demon, sacrificing two elite guards of Prince Yu’s Mansion, and narrowly escaping the Demon’s clutches—this battle involved great hardship, even if it lacked merit. How could I blame you!"
