Chapter 70: A Transaction
Qin Ming’s head went blank.
“What?!”
“Several Fellow Daoists have all fallen?”
“And Fellow Daoist Lin?”
Qin Ming’s heart was immediately Overwhelmed.
You must know that of the several people, besides Brothers Feng, who were at the Qi Refining Stage, Layer 8, the other three were all Qi Refining Realm Perfection.
Even so.
With this kind of Lineup, only Feng Yuan survived.
“Alas, it’s embarrassing to say, if it weren’t for the fact that I was with Fellow Daoist Lin Zixiao when we escaped at the end, and used his Formation to break the rear, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to come back.”
“As for Fellow Daoist Lin, when I escaped, I only saw them being besieged by several cultivators at the Qi Refining Perfection, I’m afraid things are not looking good.” Feng Yuan sighed and said faintly.
As soon as the words fell.
Feng Yuan’s complexion suddenly flushed, a trace of black blood spilled from the corner of their mouth, and they revealed a painful expression, covering their chest and breathing violently.
Qin Ming clearly saw a hint of dark Death Qi flash through their pupils.
Seeing this, Qin Ming hurriedly took out a Healing Pill, preparing to give it to them.
“Cough! Cough!”
“Fellow Daoist Qin, there’s no need to waste the Pill. I have suffered a fatal Serious Injury. Now my entire Meridians are broken, my Qi Sea and Dantian are destroyed, and even more Healing Spirit Pills can’t bring me back.” Feng Yuan coughed up a mouthful of black blood, and reached out to stop Qin Ming’s Action.
“Feng knows that they are a person about to die, and now they are just relying on the Gen Xue Pill to barely hold on.”
Qin Ming looked at Feng Yuan with a complex Expression. Although their Relationship was only average, as a Neighbor for many years.
The Brothers Feng’s straightforward Personality gave him a very good Impression.
“Besieged?”
“Could it be that several Fellow Daoists didn’t go to the Ruins to seek Foundation Establishment Opportunity?” Qin Ming Frowned and asked in Confusion.
Feng Yuan raised their hand to wipe away the black blood from the corner of their mouth, glanced at Qin Ming, and then explained, “We did go to the Ruins, but we only entered the Outer Perimeter of the Ruins. Even so, we still Obtained Foundation Establishment Spirit Items, Heavenly Fire Spirit Liquid.”
“Besides, we had quite a bit of Harvest.”
“But just as we were preparing to Leave, many Sect cultivators suddenly appeared in the middle of the road, Ambush and Attack us.”
“Among these people, the cultivators of the Hundred Flowers Sect and Shennong Sect were the most numerous, and there were also cultivators from the Spirit Feather Sect and Golden Cloud Valley. The things we obtained from the Ruins were all taken by these Sect people.”
“A labor for nothing, just to make a Wedding Dress for others.”
“My younger brother and several Fellow Daoists also died in their hands.” When Feng Yuan said this, their Gaze was filled with Revenge.
Qin Ming, hearing this, as expected.
These Sects openly spread the News of the Ancient Ruins, and then leaked the Information that there were Foundation Establishment resources inside.
The Purpose was to induce Free Cultivators to go and act as Cannon Fodder to explore the way. Even if they fortunately Obtained Benefits, they would never escape the Sect’s Palm.
“Alas! Fellow Daoist Feng, be strong.” Qin Ming didn’t know how to comfort the other party either.
For a time.
The two were silent, and the Atmosphere solidified.
Feng Yuan hesitated for a Long Time, and seemed to have made a certain Decision.
Then they suddenly raised their Head, stared at Qin Ming, and said seriously, “Fellow Daoist Qin, I have a Transaction I want to do with you, I don’t know if you are willing?”
“Oh? What is the Transaction?” Qin Ming was Surprised by their question.
He only saw Feng Yuan take out a Jade Bottle, a Dragon-Shaped Token, and a broken Map from their Storage Bag, and placed them on the table.
Then they slowly said, “This is the biggest Spoils of War from This Journey. Inside the Jade Bottle is the Foundation Establishment Spirit Item, Heavenly Fire Spirit Liquid.”
“However, this Spirit Liquid was discovered by me alone, and I secretly kept it private, even my younger brother doesn’t know.”
“As for this Token and Map, the five of us found them together in a Cave in the Outer Perimeter of the Ruins, on the body of an ancient corpse. It should be closely related to entering the Ruins.”
When Qin Ming heard that the item in front of him was the legendary Foundation Establishment Spirit Item ‘Heavenly Fire Spirit Liquid’, their Heart was Pumping violently.
Their Dao Heart couldn’t help but be Shaken.
When a Cultivator is Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage, in addition to consuming the Foundation Establishment Pill, supplementing with the Foundation Establishment Spirit Item ‘Heavenly Fire Spirit Liquid’ can increase the Probability of Success by another twenty percent.
For a Major Realm Breakthrough, a twenty percent Probability is already a very high Improvement.
“I can give these three Treasures to Fellow Daoist Qin, but in exchange, Fellow Daoist Qin must Agree to Feng’s two Conditions.” Feng Yuan said with a serious Expression.
“First, if Fellow Daoist Qin has the Opportunity to establish their Foundation in the Future, help me kill a Core Disciple of those Sects, to take Revenge for us!”
“Second, we Brothers Feng have no relatives or friends in the Cultivation World, and only have a Descendant’s Bloodline in a certain Mundane world in the Wei Kingdom. If Fellow Daoist Qin has the Opportunity in the Future, help me to Care for them within their Ability.”
Qin Ming, hearing this, Frowned.
Even though their Heart was moved by this Heavenly Fire Spirit Liquid, the other party’s Conditions were actually to let them go to take Revenge, and the Target of the Revenge was against several Sects.
They Muttered for a while, and immediately refused:
“Fellow Daoist Feng, I’m afraid I can’t Agree to the first Condition. I’m only a Spirit Plant Master, and my Strength is low, I dare not do anything that would make me an enemy of several Sects.”
“The second Condition, if there is really an Opportunity, Qin can Agree.”
“As for that Token and the Ruins Map… Qin also can’t accept it.”
Qin Ming saw at a glance that the Dragon-Shaped Token and the broken Map were definitely a hot potato.
They didn’t know how many people outside were looking for this thing.
They didn’t want to get into trouble and become the Target of Public Criticism.
Feng Yuan, hearing Qin Ming’s reply, showed Disappointment on their face.
But they had no Method either. With Qin Ming’s cautious Personality, this Attitude was only reasonable.
They Struggled and hesitated for a Long Time, and gritted their teeth and said:
“Alright! Then I will follow what Fellow Daoist Qin says, I Hope that Fellow Daoist will not Break Promise.”
After saying that, Feng Yuan put away the Dragon-Shaped Token and the broken Map.
Then they pushed the bottle of Foundation Establishment Spirit Item ‘Heavenly Fire Spirit Liquid’ gently to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming’s Gaze was burning, they picked up the Jade Bottle, opened the cap, and swept their Spiritual Sense inside.
They saw that inside, there was a small half-bottle of flame-like Spirit Liquid, emitting an astonishing Spiritual Essence, which was very magical.
“It really is Heavenly Fire Spirit Liquid!” Qin Ming was in Ecstasy, they closed it tightly, and put it in their own Storage Bag in silence.
On the other hand, they received this Spirit Liquid without any guilt, after all, Jiang Kun, the Core Disciple of the Spirit Feather Sect, was killed by their own hands.
Feng Yuan took out a letter and a Jade Pendant Token, handed them to Qin Ming, and gave a few instructions.
Then.
The two finished the Conversation.
“Alright, Feng should also say Farewell, Fellow Daoist Qin doesn’t need to send me off.” Feng Yuan greeted Qin Ming, got up and Left.
Qin Ming looked at Feng Yuan’s staggering Back, their Heart was filled with mixed emotions, and they had a kind of inexplicable feeling of sympathy.
That Year, the Brothers Feng were also considered a number one Figure in the Qingyang Marketplace, but they ended up with such an End.
When Feng Yuan was about to go out.
They suddenly turned their Head, revealed a very forced Smile, and said to Qin Ming self-deprecatingly:
“I know that my Time is running out, and this time I’m leaving, I’m afraid I’m just looking for a Feng Shui Treasure Land to wait for Death. The Token and the Ruins Map, if nothing unexpected happens, will be Buried with me. If Fellow Daoist Qin comes to think about it one day, you can also come to get it.”
After they said that, they told Qin Ming a place in a low voice.
Then, Feng Yuan didn’t Stay any longer and Left the Qingyang Marketplace.
Qin Ming looked at Feng Yuan Leave, and said with a Bitter Smile:
“You’re going to find a Feng Shui Treasure Land to sleep in, why are you telling me?!”
