Chapter 1657: Chapter 1297: Deal (Part 2)
“What?!”
“How is this possible!”
“Where did you hear this news, fellow Daoist?”
Several people were incredibly shocked, but thinking it unlikely, given the suppression by the Heavenly Dao of this realm, could it really be so easily resolved? And it was spoken by an Earth Immortal, which made it even less reliable.
“If you don’t believe it, you can try it with the Purifying Spiritual Objects you have on hand. If you don’t have any, I can provide a few seeds for you to try.” Li Zhirui knew that just speaking was not very convincing and opted to conduct a hands-on experiment.
As he spoke, several Spirit Lights flew to them.
They hesitantly crushed the seeds and casually performed the Lotus Seed Skill.
Suddenly, a refreshing and clean air spread, making them feel relaxed, and their whole bodies comfortable.
“Hmm?! It’s actually true! My strength has indeed recovered a bit!”
Although not much, they instantly realized it, and their faces showed ecstatic expressions.
As long as there are enough Purifying Spiritual Objects, their strength can be fully restored, and at that time, all those forces that bullied them would have to pay the price!
“Fellow Daoist Li! Why not come inside for a chat and give us a chance to thank you properly?”
He looked at Li Zhirui with eyes full of zeal and greed. If memory served, this person was the creator of the Lotus Seed Skill, and surely had a large quantity of Purification Lotus Seeds!
If they could obtain them, they wouldn’t need to worry about Purifying Spiritual Objects.
Before this, apart from the Li family and the He Family of Yumen, along with the Xiaxian Sect, only they knew about the wonders of the Power of Purification. Other forces did not, so they didn’t bring too many Purifying Spiritual Objects in this cramped space.
He estimated that even if they collected all the Purifying Spiritual Objects from everyone, at most they could restore the strength of two or three Heavenly Immortals, which certainly did not relate to them.
If they wanted to obtain Purifying Spiritual Objects, they could only resort to actions in the Golden Light Realm, which would inevitably trigger a battle. Those cultivators whose strength had not recovered might face significant casualties!
Li Zhirui could clearly see through this person’s careful thoughts, so he did not respond to his words and simply said, “I still have ten thousand Purification Lotus Seeds on hand, only using Heavenly Immortal Rank and Earth Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects and Methods for trade, not accepting Spirit Stones.”
Such a good opportunity, of course, he had to seize it to gain the maximum profit, not wasting his risky travels across the Golden Light Realm to inform them of news that might even concern their very life and death.”
“Fellow Daoist Li, isn’t this somewhat excessive? The seeds are merely Loose Immortal Grade Spiritual Objects, inferior to Earth Immortal Rank, and even less to Heavenly Immortal Rank insight.”
“Since Fellow Daoist does not wish to make this deal, then I won’t disturb you, farewell!”
With that said, he truly flew away towards the distance without looking back.
“Wait, wait! Fellow Daoist Li, don’t be so impulsive, everything can be discussed.” Several people hurriedly chased after him, speaking softly all the while.
They acted this way because the Heavenly Immortal in the station had ordered them to secure this deal!
After all, not every Heavenly Immortal Power was as strong and united as the Divine Path or the Sea Clan, capable of repelling attacks from forces of this realm even when their own power was suppressed.
Li Zhirui flew to the edge of the forest before stopping, saying, “In consideration of the Supreme Mysterious Sect and several fellow Daoists, I can make some concessions and provide additional seeds.”
He chose this location for the transaction for a reason—it allowed him to escape to the outside at the first sign of trouble, and if a Heavenly Immortal made a move, he could hide in a space and reappear after some time.
If he were in the forest, he would always be within their line of sight, and they might detect its subtleties and discover his secret.
By then, it would be Li Zhirui who would be in the most perilous situation.
“Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li.”
“Please wait a moment, Senior Brother Bo will soon arrive with the Spiritual Objects, surely you’ll be satisfied.”
Li Zhirui smiled courteously, saying, “The Supreme Mysterious Sect has deep heritage, many powerful individuals within, and formidable strength; bringing out any Spiritual Object is likely a rare treasure.”
Soon, an Earth Immortal with a graceful posture appeared.
“The Jade Box contains three different Earth Immortal Rank Spirit Seeds. Can they be exchanged for the ten thousand Purification Lotus Seeds you hold?”
With that, he presented the Jade Box before him.
Li Zhirui’s eyes flashed with surprise, not expecting the Supreme Mysterious Sect to be so generous; he initially thought two Earth Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects would be quite decent and was caught off guard by the unexpected bonus.
“Of course!”
After confirming there were no issues with the Spirit Seeds, he immediately planted them into space, then took out over eleven thousand seeds, handing them over to the counterpart.
“Farewell!”
Senior Brother Bo immediately shouted, “Wait! I still have a Heavenly Immortal Rank Spirit Seed, how many seeds do you plan to exchange for it, Fellow Daoist?”
“Your sect is so generous? Willing to exchange Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects?” Li Zhirui’s eyes flashed with astonishment, a sense of caution rising within, and he secretly operated his mana prepared to flee rapidly if anything went wrong.
Keep in mind, every Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Object is an extremely precious treasure capable of supporting a powerful force.
Despite listing Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects as conditions, Li Zhirui never realistically thought he could obtain such precious treasures.
So when the Supreme Mysterious Sect genuinely produced Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects, how could he not be vigilant?
“Fellow Daoist need not worry about any tricks, no matter how good the Spiritual Objects, none are more valuable than life itself, and given the vast scope of the Golden Light Realm, wouldn’t our ancestors be more than capable of reclaiming Heavenly Immortal Rank Spiritual Objects once their strength is restored?” Senior Brother Bo responded with full confidence.
Li Zhirui smiled in agreement and then disclosed his assessed number.
“Exchange for fifty thousand seeds, including five thousand higher-grade Evil Cleansing Lotus Seeds.” The latter had already ascended to the Human Immortal Rank, though he didn’t hold many.
“Deal!”
Senior Brother Bo immediately agreed, seemingly worried Li Zhirui might retract his offer.
Witnessing this, Li Zhirui knew the condition of the Spirit Seed might not be optimal.
And sure enough! Looking inside the Jade Box, he saw a somewhat shriveled seed, its vitality continually draining.
Faced with this delicate precious Spirit Seed, others might have no means to resolve it, but Li Zhirui stood out differently!
“Do any of you know if there are other Primal Spirit Realm forces nearby?”
“A few days ago, a talisman depleted of Spiritual Energy was found in a valley eighteen hundred miles to the east, perhaps there might be peers there.”
Li Zhirui sincerely expressed gratitude and offered ten seeds before flying off to where indicated.
Within the Supreme Mysterious Sect’s station, several Heavenly Immortal Great Ability figures gathered inside a simple hall.
Their next task was to utilize the Power of Purification to restore their strength, subsequently leading disciples to collect Spiritual Object within the realm.
Several hours later, powerful aura and pressure erupted from them! The strength of the Heavenly Immortal Rank returned to them.
“I never imagined the Purification Principle would yield such effects; no wonder the Yumen He Family and the Xiaxian Sect treasured those small cultivators who had just entered the Loose Immortal stage, turns out they knew early on.”
“Hmph! Two self-centered forces, in vain as the leading figures of the East Continent Immortal Tao, if they hadn’t concealed this, our progress would have been faster, allowing us to invest greater strength and expedite conquering the Golden Light Realm!”
Such words are quite amusing.
If it were the Supreme Mysterious Sect, they wouldn’t disclose it immediately either.
“Enough, stop saying meaningless things, notify the disciples to prepare, and three days later we’ll set out to eliminate the nearest realm force!”
On the other side, Li Zhirui sped towards the direction given by that cultivator, moving so fast that he left a string of afterimages in the sky.
