Chapter 1919: Chapter 1920: Silver Soul Skill! (Part 2)
Carefully storing away the Nine Orifice Numbing Elixir, Lyee Yao beamed at Ling Feng with delight, saying cordially, "Young Master Ling truly has a divine talent. So young, yet not only is your strength extraordinary, but your skills in alchemy surpass numerous older Alchemy Masters. I am truly impressed!"
"You’re too kind, Lyee Taishang."
Ling Feng raised his hand to touch his nose. "As the saying goes, there is always a higher sky and a more talented person. The Xuanling Continent is vast, so those who are better than me are as numerous as grains of sand."
This was not Ling Feng being modest, but when he was in Sunset Ancient City, he understood much.
For instance, geniuses like Xiao Juanyun and Luo Hanzhou are already top talents in the Eastern Spirit Domain, yet merely ordinary in the West Sword Domain and the Beihai Domain.
Not to mention the deeply mysterious Southern Witch Domain, and the so-called Divine Race Domain, Central Origin Domain.
In the Central Origin Domain, apart from the Jiuli Divine Race, there are likely many with special bloodlines and talents.
If he truly wished to become one of the peaks, there was a long, long road ahead.
Forget others; even just the fiancé of Mu Qianxue mentioned by Yeu Junyao was far more powerful than he.
"Hehe..."
Lyee Yao laughed dryly a few times, then slowly said, "Young Master Ling is a talent of Hidden Dragon, aiming high. Only in your hands can our Lyee Family’s Silver Soul Skill truly shine."
Lyee Yao laughed heartily.
"Lyee Taishang, are you saying you’re willing to give me the Silver Soul Skill?" Ling Feng was slightly taken aback, not expecting the old man to suddenly be so agreeable.
"Of course, as they say, a treasure sword for a hero, naturally, I will oblige." Lyee Yao stroked his long beard, presenting a cordial smile.
"If so, thank you, Lyee Taishang. Naturally, I won’t take advantage of the Lyee Family for free. I’m willing to offer fitting Elemental Crystals or exchange with other Cultivation Techniques, Martial Techniques, as you wish."
Lyee Yao shook his head, "Young Master Ling, you belittle me. Since it’s a gift, how could I demand anything in return?"
"This..." Ling Feng pouted. As the saying goes, nothing comes for free. What is the old man planning?
"Young Master Ling, no need to worry." Lyee Yao chuckled, "To be honest, this Silver Soul Skill is never taught to outsiders, so I should respect this rule. However..."
Lyee Yao paused, then continued, "I perceive Lyee Xin, the little girl, holds Young Master Ling in high esteem. If you could marry Xin’er, then you would be like half of our Lyee Family, allowing me to teach you the Silver Soul Skill without family objection."
"I fear that’s inappropriate."
Ling Feng shook his head, "Lyee Taishang, I cannot marry Miss Li."
"Young Master Ling, you..." Lyee Yao’s expression slightly changed. Logically, marrying Lyee Xin would bring a beauty home and gain the Silver Soul Skill, who would refuse that?
After thinking, Lyee Yao offered, "I might have considered poorly, so Young Master Ling doesn’t have to take Xin’er as the main wife, a concubine works fine too. A good man aims far, so having multiple wives is common."
"Also inappropriate." Ling Feng frowned slightly, "Enough, Lyee Taishang, cease this topic!"
"Young Master Ling, rest assured that marrying Xin’er won’t become a burden. You can leave her at the Lyee Family, only visiting occasionally suffices."
Lyee Yao attempted to persuade more but found Ling Feng’s expression growing darker, forcing him to stop.
Ling Feng’s face turned ashen, realizing that to Lyee Yao, even his great-granddaughter was merely a bargaining chip.
"Lyee Taishang, I respect you as a senior. Please refrain from saying anything disgraceful!"
Ling Feng glared coldly at Lyee Yao, having his principles despite what the old man intended.
"My apologies." Lyee Yao sighed, "Since Young Master Ling is disinterested in Xin’er, let’s drop it."
Truthfully, Lyee Yao was not completely indifferent to Lyee Xin’s feelings. After all, he could see her unusual affection for Ling Feng.
Only true power can dictate one’s fate. If Lyee Xin could marry someone she likes who is strong, that would be a kind of happiness for her.
"To be honest, I will not marry Miss Li, but I want the Silver Soul Skill too!"
With this, Ling Feng directly took out a whole box of Elemental Crystals from his Spirit Storage Ring, opening it to reveal it filled with Upper Grade Elemental Crystals!
Remember, Elemental Crystals are the crystallization of Elemental Stones, one Elemental Crystal worth thousands of Elemental Stones.
Moreover, this box of Elemental Crystals nearly equaled several years of revenue from the Flying Horse Ranch.
Still, to exchange for the Silver Soul Skill, it wasn’t quite sufficient.
Then, Ling Feng retrieved three Secret Technique Manuals.
"One Saint Level technique, one Soul Dao secret technique, one King-level Sword Technique!"
Ling Feng placed the three manuals on the table, "If Lyee Taishang is willing to trade, these three manuals, and this box of Elemental Crystals, are yours!"
"This..."
Lyee Yao was utterly stunned, a fierce struggle arising in his heart.
Seeing these items, it was impossible to not be moved, especially for a greedy man like him.
Ling Feng observed Lyee Yao’s expression and knew the fish had taken the bait. He leisurely extended three fingers, calmly stating, "Lyee Taishang, you have thirty breaths to consider. If unwilling, let it be! Thirty!"
"Twenty-nine!"
"Twenty-eight!"
...
With each number counted, Lyee Yao’s body appeared to tremble slightly.
The three manuals Ling Feng brought out could each serve as Inheritance Techniques; three exchanged for one, coupled with a box of Upper Grade Elemental Crystals!
Lyee Yao took deep breaths, trying to remain calm, but the items saturated, compelling calm beyond reach.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
...
Finally, when Ling Feng reached "Three," Lyee Yao slammed his hand on the table, loudly saying, "Young Master Ling, I will trade!"
"Deal!"
The corners of Ling Feng’s mouth curved into a smile, for both parties, this transaction was mutually beneficial.
Truth be told, even if Lyee Yao refused, Ling Feng wouldn’t easily abandon the Silver Soul Skill.
At the worst, he would pilfer it secretly, no matter the cost.
