Chapter 26 'Remnant Soul'
Chapter 26 'Remnant Soul'
What kind of look is that?
Hot and intense!
There seemed to be a heart-pounding impulse brewing within her. When Nangong Wan met Qin Fang's eyes, she was momentarily lost in thought.
"senior!"
When Qin Fang spoke again, his tone even sounded more urgent.
"What do you need spirit stones for...?"
"This place isn't really of any use, is it?"
Nangong Wan was puzzled.
"Don't worry about that..."
"Anyway, do you have any spirit stones?! I need them right now!"
"I……"
"Right! This could be considered a transaction~! Senior kept staring at that box, so he must have been eyeing it a bit too."
"Don't you want to know the secrets hidden within?"
Qin Fang appeared extremely eager, even going so far as to use the "key treasure chest," which was originally his target, as "bait."
"How could you...?"
"You know anything about this box?!"
Nangong Wan became somewhat interested.
The reason she came to participate in this trial in the Crimson Forbidden Land was not only at the request of her sect, but also to explore whether there were any suitable opportunities for her in this forbidden land.
The Hidden Moon Sect was the first sect to enter the Ring Mountain, and its understanding of this place far surpasses that of the other six sects.
"Of course I know some of it."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here alone..."
Qin Fang said meaningfully.
"What do you need spirit stones for?"
"I'm afraid I cannot tell you this, senior. This matter concerns a family secret and is not suitable for casual dissemination."
"Then you should at least tell me how many spirit stones I need, right?"
"Fifty thousand... low-grade spirit stones."
"How many?!"
"Senior, as a Core Formation stage cultivator, you must have some wealth..."
"Would I be crazy to carry so many low-grade spirit stones with me? Although a Core Formation cultivator's wealth far surpasses this, it's still quite rare to see someone who can produce so many low-grade spirit stones at once."
"Does the senior have any treasures or anything like that... even materials would be fine! Materials for Core Formation stage cultivators!"
"What exactly do you want?"
Nangong Wan could tell that the man in front of her, who had only recently slept with her, was indeed very eager to obtain spirit stones and valuables.
"You can rest assured, senior!"
"As long as I gather... gather all the spirit stones and spirit items needed for the ritual!"
"Then I will reveal everything I know about this Crimson Forbidden Land!"
"I guarantee that even if you lose all your spirit stones, you will not lose out!"
Qin Fang spoke.
"ceremony?"
Nangong Wan was puzzled.
This so-called "ritual" was just an excuse for Qin Fang. His goal was to get enough spirit stones from Nangong Wan and then use the Zhuanzhuan second-hand platform to trade an item!
If he misses this opportunity now, he'll probably regret it for years to come.
"Would a mid-grade spirit stone be acceptable?"
"Great! Absolutely great!"
"This isn't enough, there's only this much..."
"Does Senior have any Core Formation stage materials or anything like that in your storage bag?"
"You still want..."
"Senior! This matter is extremely important to me, and if you help me fulfill my wish, the rewards you gain will be the most crucial thing for your trip to the forbidden area!"
"This was originally intended as a material to be added to my natal magic weapon... It took a lot of effort to make this..."
"Let me take a look first..."
Qin Fang grabbed the materials and immediately used a spinning tester to assess their value.
"Almost there..."
Qin Fang looked conflicted, but he knew it was inappropriate to ask Nangong Wan for help again.
With a determined heart, gritted teeth, and a stomp of his foot!
Qin Fang directly used the "Spin Recycling" function to exchange all the magical artifacts and valuables, including mature spiritual herbs and plants, from his two storage bags for spirit stones.
That's barely enough... to scrape together 50,000 low-grade spirit stones.
Qin Fang held the materials given to him by Nangong Wan, but did not take them back in front of Nangong Wan.
Otherwise, if such an important item disappeared into thin air, even if Nangong Wan didn't say anything, she would probably be wondering about it.
While it's unlikely we'll ever guess the truth, making unfounded assumptions is pointless.
"What exactly do you want?! You've been staring at my materials for ages..."
"No!"
"I acted on impulse and believed your nonsense!"
"Give me back these materials..."
Nangong Wan waited for a while, but still didn't see Qin Fang make any move. She suddenly wondered if she had been stupid to believe Qin Fang's nonsense.
As soon as she finished speaking, Nangong Wan reached out to retrieve the materials for the Core Formation stage.
at this time……
Qin Fang's voice rang out softly.
"Even if it's a chance to reach the Nascent Soul stage, are you really going to give it up, senior?"
The voice was extremely flat, as if it were talking about something completely unrelated.
But every word seemed to strike Nangong Wan's heart like a heavy blow...
next moment……
"Hehe~"
"You really are insane!"
Nangong Wan was taken aback at first, but then she took the material away immediately as if relieved, without the slightest hesitation.
A chance to become a deity?
How could you say that?!
Are all cultivators in the Qi Refining stage these days getting worse with each generation?
That's truly something you can just spout off without thinking!
Nangong Wan almost immediately came to the conclusion that Qin Fang, this kid who was spouting nonsense, was definitely lying to her.
"Among the high-ranking members of the seven factions, many speculated..."
"This place is the cave dwelling of a powerful being from ancient times."
Qin Fang did not immediately take back the materials, but continued talking to himself.
"In a sense, they weren't wrong."
"This forbidden area... in a sense, is also part of its cave dwelling."
"but!"
"There's one thing they've misunderstood..."
"This place is not only the cave dwelling of an ancient powerful being, but also the place where he laid out his legacy."
"It is to test those who come after, and ultimately pass on all of one's heritage to them."
Qin Fang spoke slowly, but with an undeniable conviction.
"Heh~ whatever you say goes!"
"Things that even Nascent Soul stage experts don't know, you, a mere late-stage Qi Refining junior, actually..."
Nangong Wan retorted, but her injured movements stopped, and she did not continue to put the materials back into the storage bag.
It was clear that although Nangong Wan didn't quite believe Qin Fang's words, these things still stirred her interest.
"Of course I know!"
"because……"
"I am the descendant who set up this forbidden area as a test!"
Qin Fang remained unfazed.
This statement is obviously fabricated; he is by no means a descendant of the master of any forbidden area.
"you……"
Nangong Wan was surprised and suspicious.
"That's right~"
"As a Nascent Soul cultivator from Tiannan, my ancestor specially built this forbidden inheritance ground here before ascending to immortality."
"Originally, my family has guarded this place for generations, hoping that one day, a disciple of the family will be able to inherit the mantle of our ancestors."
"Unfortunately, the younger generation is incompetent and has been unable to fulfill this wish!"
"Even when the clan was nearly extinct, this goal was still not achieved..."
Qin Fang spoke with a sorrowful expression, as if it were the truth.
As he spoke, Qin Fang glanced down at the underground palace out of the corner of his eye.
Hmph!
You dared to spy on my good deeds! I'll impersonate you for a bit, consider it interest.
You agree, right?
The voyeuristic 'remnant soul' senior!!
