Chapter 1764: Chapter 1764 Don’t Have A Choice
Xuan Yuanhong had been trapped in this Golden Gate for nearly a year, the Devil Qi corroding him more and more severely. It had been a long time since he had smiled.
Now that the Devil Qi was gone, his laughter was particularly hearty.
However, he quickly calmed down and continued the conversation with Ye Liuyun. "Shall we discuss another deal?"
"As long as it’s within my capabilities and you can afford the compensation, everything is negotiable!" Ye Liuyun did not refuse.
"My brother has a few underlings, known as the Eight Vajra. The one with the highest level is at the fourth and the lowest is at the end of the second level." He paused after saying this.
"Don’t you have enough manpower to make a move?" Ye Liuyun casually questioned.
When he heard about the opponents level, he knew the task was doable. As long as he could get the resources he needed, even if he was being used, he didn’t mind.
However, the influence of the Mystique Mart was definitely not small, and it would prove difficult to try to undermine it.
And the reason why Xuan Yuanhong didn’t make a move himself was likely because he didn’t want to give himself away. Being so wealthy, he definitely wasn’t lacking manpower.
So, the difficulty of this task lies in pulling it off cleanly without leaving any traces behind.
"I can’t go to the royal city, and I also can’t let anyone know I was the one who made the move" Xuan Yuanhong explained.
Ye Liuyun nodded, and asked, "What about my reward?"
Xuan Yuanhong retorted, "What price do you think is appropriate, Master Ye?"
Ye Liuyun laughed and said, "I’m not familiar with the circumstances, so it’s best for you to name the price. After all, even if I’m not as wealthy as you are, I’m not short on money!"
"Haha, indeed, all the resources of the fourteen major powers are in your hands! Even I am envious of that!" Xuan Yuanhong laughed heartily, while internally assessing the difficulty of this task.
"This is just petty cash! It’s simply incomparable to Mystique Mart!" Ye Liuyun also answered casually.
He had run a business association before, so he knew how much income a business association could make.
Yuanxuan Hong thought for a while and said to Ye Liuyun, "Two Alora Crystals, each as big as the one just now, for each of the Eight Vajra you defeat, how about it?"
Upon hearing the offer, Ye Liuyun knew that it wouldn’t be easy.
"Is there a deadline?" he asked.
"Within a year!" Yuanxuan Hong replied.
Ye Liuyun also added, "It would only work if all eight are in the royal city. And I can’t guarantee that I could take down them all. If someone hides and doesn’t show up, there’s nothing I can do."
"Of course. You don’t need to solve them all. For each one you take down, you can go and collect the corresponding spiritual stones!" Yuanxuan Hong promised.
"Do I need to come here for the collections?" Ye Liuyun questioned. The back and forth travel would be too time-consuming.
"No need. You can go to the Mystique Mart in the royal city, and find my sister Yuanxuan Ling with the gold card I gave you. No need for their heads, no need for their virtuoso, as long as one of the Eight Diamond Bodyguards dies, you can go and collect two gemstones. She will give them to you directly." Yuanxuan Hong explained.
"What if someone else kills them?" Ye Liuyun asked somewhat surprisingly.
"If they were that easy to kill, consider it your good luck!" Yuanxuan Hong laughed.
"I feel like I am getting the short end of the stick!" Ye Liuyun said laughingly.
"Hahaha!" Yuanxuan Hong also laughed, and then said, "No worries, I will have people send you some more later on!"
"We need to keep things separate! Healing is healing, and trading is trading!" Ye Liuyun made it clear.
The two chatted and laughed, as if they were just catching up.
At this moment, Elder Han brought back Lan Xin’s servitude contract, and handed it over to Ye Liuyun.
Xuanyuan Hong cast a glance at Lan Xin.
Ye Liuyun said straightforwardly, "I will handle it well!"
Xuanyuan Hong nodded, bid farewell to Ye Liuyun, and left with Elder Han.
After they left, Ye Liuyun burned Lan Xin’s servitude contract.
Lan Xin excitedly watched her servitude contract turn to ashes, finally feeling a sense of liberation.
"You’ll need to stay in my Spatial World for three years. I’ve just made a Divine Soul pact with Xuanyuan Hong. The promise I made to him must be fulfilled. Consider this servitude contract as my compensation to you. How about it?" Ye Liuyun asked Lan Xin.
"I understand. You had to do it to save me," Lan Xin said.
In fact, she was very satisfied with this outcome. Not only did she regain her freedom, but she also found a place to go.
She was also very grateful to Ye Liuyun. At that moment, had Ye Liuyun hesitated even the slightest bit, she might have lost her life.
It was Ye Liuyun who insisted on saving her.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun was willing to forgo heavy benefits to save her, which showed that Ye Liuyun was worth her trust and perhaps worthy of lifelong commitment.
"As long as you understand! We’re all the same, often times, we don’t have a choice!"
Ye Liuyun also sighed, letting Lan Xin relax, putting her into his Spatial World.
Man Shu and the rest were cultivating inside the Xuankong Stone, so for now, she didn’t see anyone else. However, the resources in Ye Liuyun’s Spatial World shocked her, especially the several billion divine crystals.
Before, Ye Liuyun had only a few hundred million divine crystals, but combining it with the spoils from his recent robberies from powerful forces, they had piled into a mountain, totalling about thirty billion.
Soon after, Ye Liuyun also returned to the Xuankong Stone to cultivate.
Xuanyuan Hong had just given him an Alora Crystal containing the Power of Heaven and Earth. This type of Alora Crystal was quite rare, and its price was much higher than that of the Space and Fire Alora Crystals.
Ye Liuyun instantly began his comprehension with his clone, striving to improve his mastery over the power of Heaven and Earth.
For the next few days, Ye Liuyun did not leave the Xuankong Stone.
He had raised his realm to the mid-phase of the second level.
His fire power also improved after comprehending the Fire Alora Crystal.
He altered the combination of refining Qi, body, and soul elixirs, and now he could make Second Grade, Sixth Class elixirs.
However, he was not satisfied yet and believed there was still room for improvement.
He and the others had all begun consuming Third Grade elixirs; as for Second Grade ones, he simply let Lan Xin take as she pleased, treating it as mere practice in her spare time.
Lan Xin was quite content; these elixirs would be enough for her to elevate her strength for a while.
Later, Lan Xin saw Ye Liuyun’s clone, Devil Vine, Man Shu, and the others, and then she understood why Ye Liuyun had to purchase so many elixirs and make them himself.
Lei Ming, Dragon Lady, and the Black Panther devoured Second Grade elixirs like jellybeans, grabbing a handful each time. They only exercised some restraint when consuming Third Grade elixirs.
What she didn’t expect was that many of Ye Liuyun’s Alora Crystals were meant for others.
Gradually, she became more acquainted with Lei Ming and the others, thereby gaining a deeper perspective about Ye Liuyun.
She even became privy to Ye Liuyun’s deeds and exploits on the Central Continent through the narratives of Lei Ming and his gang.
The more she learned about Ye Liuyun, the more she found herself admiring and adoring him.
In the end, she directly approached his clone, expressing her resolve to always stay with Ye Liuyun, even if it meant being a mere handyman, she was more than willing.
Ye Liuyun felt somewhat helpless, he couldn’t dismiss her right now. All he could do was let her remain in his Spatial World, assisting him in managing resources.
