Chapter 499: Done!
Done! . . .
There was no reason to refuse. With their hostilities no longer standing in the way, they had no grounds to keep Bing Xinyue in captivity.
Moreover, the two ladies had never harbored any ill intentions towards Bing Xinyue. In fact, they felt a deep sympathy for her, particularly in this moment, as sadness and anger welled up within them.
"Now, for the third condition..." Cha Eun Xiao's expression turned solemn. "I require two specific medicinal ingredients: the Nine Cloud Jade Ganoderma, a minimum of three, and the Green Heaven's Grass, also a minimum of three. With these two materials, the chances of success will be significantly higher."
He thought of Zhao Pingtian and decided to leverage this situation. [You possess power, don't you? Well, I'm going to make use of that power to obtain something ordinary folks cannot.]
Ling Wuxie furrowed his brow. "Brother Feng, you seem to be knowledgeable about medicinal ingredients. However, you might not be aware of the full picture. While it's true that these two materials exist in the Human Realm Upon Heavens, obtaining them is far more challenging than you might imagine. Even for individuals like us... The Nine Cloud Jade Ganoderma might be feasible, but the Green Heaven's Grass belongs solely to the Biluo Saint Palace. You won't find it anywhere else."
"The Biluo Saint Palace is under the South Heaven King's domain... Acquiring it is almost impossible. The Green Heaven's Grass grows incredibly slowly, and the South Heaven King requires it for his martial arts, so he has declared it a forbidden material. It's truly a daunting task to obtain."
Cha Eun Xiao smiled. "If it weren't challenging, why would I ask you to do it, Lord Ling?"
He implied, [If it were so easily accessible, why would I seek your assistance? Have you underestimated the capabilities of others? I simply asked for something better, and you're already afraid?]
Ling Wuxie's expression darkened. He turned to Wan-Er and Xiu-Er with a pitiable look. "Girls, I'm caught up in your master's schemes... I fear this time I may end up broken. Even if I give my all, it might not be enough..."
The two ladies struggled to suppress their laughter.
Though they were technically aligned with Ling Wuxie, there was a sense of satisfaction in seeing him face difficulties.
"Very well. I promise," Ling Wuxie ground out through clenched teeth. "I'll do it for my brother. But I must tell you, it might not be enough even with my efforts."
The two ladies covered their mouths to hide their grins. They were growing accustomed to Ling Wuxie's dramatic outbursts.
"Go on then. What else do you need? Just say it," Ling Wuxie urged Cha Eun Xiao to continue.
After some thought, Cha Eun Xiao said, "I require some special metals, something from beyond the skies, a rarity in this world. They may be valuable to me, but perhaps not as much to Lord Ling. I suppose I'll need to be bold in making this request..."
"Just take them," Ling Wuxie tossed an elegant yellow ring to Cha Eun Xiao. "It contains the ninety-nine medicinal materials I promised, as well as other unique items: meteorites, star steels, and various other treasures. These are from my personal collection. Take them now."
"Lord Ling is indeed generous. Well, maybe a few dan beads?" Cha Eun Xiao suggested. "I would be delighted to lay my eyes on dozens of dan beads from the upper realms, like the Nine Roll Golden Dan, Heavenly Mystery Golden Dan, and Purple Cloud Dan. I'm quite eager to see them!"
"That's impossible!" Ling Wuxie and the two ladies exclaimed simultaneously.
Cha Eun Xiao was taken aback. [You can part with valuable treasures, but not a few dan beads?]
"Hey, hey... For Feng Monarch, it might be easy to obtain dan beads, and it's just as easy to give them away," Ling Wuxie responded with a bitter smile. "However, we have a strict dan rule in place. Anyway, if you ever ascend to those realms, you'll understand how challenging life can be up there."
Cha Eun Xiao nodded in understanding.
"Something else then. Just provide me with something rare. Something that individuals like me rarely come across," he continued. "I have a strong liking for such items."
Ling Wuxie and the two ladies were left without words.
[Who doesn't appreciate rare treasures?]
[We certainly do!]
[The issue is... you're asking for an abundance of them!]
[A plethora!]
[How boundless is your audacity!]
Ling Wuxie wore an embarrassed expression, as though he had a painful toothache.
"Very well, I'll take care of that," he agreed in a straightforward manner.
"Good. The last one is..." Cha Eun Xiao suddenly chuckled, "Your Master Bai can't remain in hiding forever. At times, he should make an appearance."
"I don't believe he should simply wait until everyone else has finished and then swoop in to claim the dan bead, right?"
Cha Eun Xiao's eyes turned sharp.
"We'll inform our Master when we return," Wan-Er and Xiu-Er exchanged glances and then nodded in agreement.
Ling Wuxie let out another bitter smile.
Evidently, Feng Monarch wasn't pleased with being coerced into this task. He desired to meet Master Bai, but that was mainly to vent the anger brewing within him.
Bai Chen needed his help at the moment...
In other words, he was destined to be treated like a doormat!
"Fine, he can remain hidden if he prefers not to show himself," Cha Eun Xiao suddenly changed his stance.
A mysterious gleam flickered in his eyes.
[I have my sights set on you. I will defeat you openly.
I won't stoop to the level of insulting you when you require my assistance!
That's the most contemptible thing one can do!]
