Chapter 1493: Chapter 1493: Agreeing to Cooperate
Qin Yi couldn’t help but sneer and said:
"Tian Xie, why do I remember you running away like a stray dog the last two times?"
"Who gave you the courage to boast in front of me?"
"I can’t guarantee to kill you with one strike. However, if you don’t flee within ten moves, I can surely kill you, believe it?"
Tian Xie’s eyes were Yin Chen as he stepped forward, surrounded by a blood-red light, causing the lake beneath him to boil.
"Qin Yi, the fact that I can stand in front of you means I’m not afraid of you."
"Don’t be too arrogant. I’m standing right here, let’s see how you kill me within ten moves?"
Qin Yi slowly stood up, his aura rising, and said with a cold smile:
"A defeated foe dares to speak of courage."
"Tian Xie, since you’re here, don’t think about leaving."
Their eyes flickered with killing intent as they stared at each other from afar.
"Qin Yi, wait!"
The Evil Lord within Tian Xie suddenly spoke.
Qin Yi sneered, "You think I’ll wait just because you tell me to? Who do you think you are?"
"Qin Yi, don’t you want your cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds?"
Qin Yi was slightly surprised, "What do you mean?"
"Qin Yi, I’ve come to find you this time to seek an alliance."
"In the past, I planted two White Jade Seven-leaf Lotuses, and they have matured now. If you join forces with me, I will give you one."
"The White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus is a Heaven and Earth Great Medicine. Besides boosting cultivation, it mainly strengthens the body. I know you have been seeking a breakthrough in physical strength, and this White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus can help you."
Qin Yi looked at him suspiciously.
"Old ghost, are you joking with me?"
"I know the effects of the White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus, but with something so valuable, would you share it with me?"
The Evil Lord said, "It’s not that I want to share it with you, but the barrier I set during my peak can only be opened with my two eyes."
"Now, one eye is with Tian Xie, and the other is with you, neither can be missing."
Qin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly, glinting with a sharp light.
Tian Xie is an idiot, but this old ghost is cunning and deceitful, you have to be careful.
However, the White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus is indeed a Heaven and Earth Great Medicine, invaluable for body strengthening.
The allure of the White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus was too great for Qin Yi.
While he had been madly cultivating, he was also pursuing body sanctification.
The robustness of the body is fundamental for a Qi Refiner.
A typical Qi Refiner’s body is fragile, regardless of the level of cultivation, with weak defensive power, making them only able to attack and not defend.
If the body and cultivation are equally strong, one could attack and defend, greatly boosting combat power.
"Qin Yi, although you and Tian Xie are arch-enemies, what you have in common is the pursuit of greater cultivation."
"If not for the need to open the barrier, do you think I would gift you such a Heaven and Earth Great Medicine like the White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus for free?"
Qin Yi’s gaze flickered slightly.
The Evil Lord, this treacherous and cunning old fellow, would never be so kind to gift the White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus to him.
They approached him, with two possibilities.
First, the barrier indeed needs his help to open.
Second, they have laid a trap, wanting to deceive him into falling for it.
Naturally, Qin Yi couldn’t really trust the Evil Lord and Tian Xie. He was filled with the intent to kill them, and they the same towards him.
However, the White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus was worth the risk.
Qin Yi looked up, indifferently saying, "Where is the White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus?"
"You agreed?"
Qin Yi slightly nodded.
"Good, then we set off now. Only I know the place," the Evil Lord said.
But Qin Yi shook his head, "Not possible now."
"Seven days later, we depart."
"Xiaoyan is getting married these days, after his wedding, we’ll go get the White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus."
The Evil Lord was silent for a moment and then spoke with caution only after a long time, "Qin Yi, I’m sincerely seeking cooperation this time. Hope you don’t play any tricks."
"If you have ill intentions, none of us get the White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus."
Qin Yi laughed, "Don’t worry, my heart is much cleaner than yours. As long as you behave yourself, I believe we can cooperate happily this time."
"Xiaoyan’s wedding has spread, it’s no secret. I promised to attend his wedding, and Qin has always kept his word."
The Evil Lord said, "Fine, we meet here seven days later."
"Wait a moment." Seeing Tian Xie and the Evil Lord about to leave, Qin Yi suddenly spoke.
"Tian Xie, Evil Lord, Xiaoyan’s wedding is about to happen. I don’t want any accidents, you understand."
"Otherwise, our cooperation is off."
The Evil Lord coldly snorted, "Don’t worry, he’s not worth my time."
Saying this, he disappeared in a flash.
Qin Yi sat back down, his eyes fixed as his mind raced.
Is there really a White Jade Seven-leaf Lotus?
He couldn’t be sure for the moment.
But one thing is crucial: he must prepare fully and hopefully break through a level in these seven days.
Only with strong strength can one ignore all conspiracies and tricks.
Qin Yi had gained much from recent wars, hinting at a breakthrough.
The Elf Clan Leader had given him an Elf Holy Fruit, which should be enough for him to advance a layer.
...
The setting sun painted the world in gold.
Only then did Qin Yi put away his fishing rod and return.
"Where have you been idling, everyone’s busy and you’re slacking."
Upon entering, Yun Mengyao complained.
Qin Yi derisively said, "You’ve never been married, no experience, what’s the fuss? Just making things chaotic, right?"
"Who says so? Haven’t seen pigs run even if I haven’t eaten pork?"
"Xiaoxi has no family; although she recognized Sword Uncle as a godfather, he’s a man, inconvenient for some things. She was born humble and naturally needs someone to support her."
Qin Yi was slightly startled, no wonder Yun Mengyao and Yin Qianqian had been with Xiaoxi these days.
It made sense, though Xiaoxi had recognized Xiao Jian as her godfather, he was just that, her godfather. Born humble, without someone to support her, it was easy to suffer from idle gossip.
Yin Qianqian and Yun Mengyao were his friends, their presence with Xiaoxi was enough face. Besides, Yin Qianqian herself was a Transcendance Tribulation Stage expert, anyone wanting to gossip better think twice.
"I hadn’t thought of this, you’ve done well."
Qin Yi said, smiling.
This woman, usually silly and spendthrift, but comes through when it matters, very considerate.
"Of course, when Xiaoxi marries, the two of us will personally send her off and watch her wed."
"I’m letting everyone know, Yin Qianqian is our sister, who dares to bully her better see who stands behind her first."
Yun Mengyao said proudly.
Qin Yi acknowledged slightly, he had to admit, Yun Mengyao considered everything thoroughly and executed beautifully.
"By the way, I also met Xiaoyan’s sister today."
Yun Mengyao suddenly said.
