Getting Stronger By Fighting

Chapter 929: Chapter 927: The Method to Break the Seal

Wang Zhan glanced at Feng Tianci, then scratched his head and moved closer to Feng Tianci, smiling as he said, "Hey, can’t you be a bit friendlier to me?"

"If it weren’t for something important, why would I bother to come looking for you?"

"But you, on the other hand, are acting like you’re keeping me at arm’s length."

"Looks like you really don’t want to consider me as a friend anymore, huh?"

Hearing this, Feng Tianci quickly walked over to Wang Zhan, grabbed Wang Zhan’s shoulder, and pulled him to a corner. Then, pointing to Zuo Linglong, who was refining elixirs at the side, he said casually, "How could you even have the face to say that to me?"

"You clearly came to me first with your request, yet you not only don’t give me any elixir, you even let such a junior help refine it for me. You’re obviously just brushing me off!"

"I’m telling you, if it weren’t for my relatively good mood, you’d probably already be a corpse by now."

"Don’t think I’m joking with you."

Wang Zhan nodded begrudgingly. Seeing Feng Tianci somewhat upset, he nudged him with his shoulder, smiling as he said, "I was just joking with you."

"And you actually took it seriously."

"Besides, I’m caught up with something right now. If it weren’t for wanting to quickly refine the Demon Core to enhance my own strength, I’d give you as much elixir as you want."

"After all, as my strength improves, it also means the overall power of the Sky Pavilion is rapidly rising. Even though you are stationed at the back mountain, I can’t place everything on your shoulders."

"Improving oneself is the proper course, and if you were to help, I’d have to pay a significant price. Overall, it felt a bit of a loss..."

Hearing this, Feng Tianci bit his teeth angrily.

He pointed at Wang Zhan, then said heavily, "You really can’t expect anything sophisticated from you."

"Alright, stop wasting my time. Otherwise, we’ll disturb Zuo Linglong, and that’ll be an even bigger loss."

Thinking about Zuo Linglong still refining elixirs for him, Feng Tianci changed the subject and went straight to the point, "Hurry up and tell me, what exactly is your purpose for coming this time? If it’s nothing important, just leave and stop wasting my time!"

Wang Zhan nodded quickly and took out the Demon Core from his pocket.

But before he could speak, he saw Feng Tianci’s eyes light up, and he said with a grin, "You wouldn’t have had a change of heart and plan to hand the Demon Core over to me, would you?"

"No, no, no!"

Wang Zhan immediately hid the Demon Core back in his pocket. His demeanor was like he had seen a thief, and he cautiously said, "Don’t get it wrong. I just haven’t figured out how to refine the Demon Core yet, that’s why I had to come to you for help. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have paid you a visit..."

After all, every time Wang Zhan asked Feng Tianci for help, it required some price.

Over time, Wang Zhan had become a bit fed up.

Generically, Feng Tianci squinted slightly, just as he was about to speak, Wang Zhan hurriedly interrupted him, waving his hand and saying, "I know what you’re thinking. Surely you still want me to bring out something for an equivalent exchange, right? But I have nothing of value at the moment, and I need to dedicate all my time to boosting my strength."

"So, I hope you can give me a break. Once I refine the Demon Core and my strength further improves, I’ll prepare a big gift for you. How about that?"

Hearing this, Feng Tianci squinted his eyes slightly.

He hesitated for a moment before rubbing his chin and said casually, "I don’t quite believe what you say, but fine, if you want my help, it’s not impossible. You just need to write me a promissory note."

"That should be fair enough, right?"

Wang Zhan chuckled, walked to the side, picked up paper and pen, and said with a smile, "That’s just a small matter, isn’t it just a promissory note? I’ll write it for you now!"

The next second, Wang Zhan stood up first and quickly wrote a line on the promissory note.

Feng Tianci hurriedly came closer to his front, then carefully reviewed it.

Seeing there were no issues with the note, he nodded in satisfaction, patted Wang Zhan’s shoulder, and said with a smile, "Consider yourself sensible this time. Given this, I’ll teach you how to refine the Demon Core."

As he spoke, Feng Tianci took out a black beads from his bosom.

Immediately afterward, he handed the black beads to Wang Zhan, and said lightly, "The Demon Core is the essence of the Wolf Emperor’s lifetime cultivation. As far as I know, the strength of the Wolf Emperor is extremely terrifying. Even at my peak, I would need to exert some means to eliminate it."

"So with your current strength, trying to thoroughly refine the Demon Core is not an easy task, but it is not impossible either."

"The black beads I gave you can suppress the explosive energy within the Demon Core. You just need to forcefully refine the Demon Core using your Ten Thousand Flaming Sword Formation, and add the black beads to it, then you can refine the Demon Core."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes. He stared at the black beads in his hand for quite a while before he asked doubtfully, "Are you telling the truth?"

"If you don’t believe me, then just pretend I didn’t say anything."

As he spoke, Feng Tianci was already preparing to take the black beads back.

Just then, the voice of the Sword Spirit echoed in his mind.

"From what I know, this is indeed one way to suppress the Demon Core, so he is probably not lying to you!"

The Sword Spirit hurriedly said.

Wang Zhan nodded, speaking lightly, "Since that’s the case, I thank you in advance! Once I refine the Demon Core in the future, I will surely prepare a grand gift for you, one that will definitely satisfy you!"

Seeing Wang Zhan about to leave, Feng Tianci quickly stepped in front of him, blocking his way. With a faint smile on his lips, he rubbed his hands and said, "I’m not very interested in other things, but if you could help me refine an elixir like the one you gave me before, that would make me very happy..."

"Elixir?"

Wang Zhan slightly narrowed his eyes and curiously asked, "Have all the elixirs you’ve used recently not come from me? So, why don’t you clarify which type of elixir you exactly want?"

"Hmm..."

Feng Tianci pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "The elixir I want is one that can restore my strength to its peak state in a short time, and without any side effects."

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan immediately widened his eyes, then awkwardly laughed while scratching his head, saying, "Do you know how valuable the elixir I gave you is? Not only are such elixirs difficult to refine, but if a substandard one is made, its effectiveness would be greatly diminished, and it could even have side effects, causing some burden on your body."

"I spent a full month to refine that elixir to invite you to act, and now you want another one?"

"No, no, no!"

Wang Zhan repeatedly said no thrice before continuing, "In any case, I can agree to your other requests. If you need other elixirs, I will find a way, but this particular elixir is absolutely out of the question..."

"You..."

Feng Tianci clenched his fists and frowned as he said, "You damned bastard!"

"Didn’t you promise me a grand gift? Besides that elixir, I’m not interested in anything else. If you don’t agree, then return my beads! Otherwise, you won’t be able to leave here safely."

Hearing this, Wang Zhan hurriedly took two steps back, and then looked at Feng Tianci with full alertness, raising his hand and said, "Old man, you must be joking with me."

"I have now figured out how to refine the Demon Core, and there’s hope. If you take the beads away now, what will I do?"

"Even though you gave this to me, it’s now in my hands, so there’s no room for negotiation."

"Even if it means death, I won’t hand it over easily!"

Feng Tianci’s face changed with anger, and he clenched his fists, gritting his teeth as he enunciated each word, "I didn’t expect you to become ungrateful after getting what you wanted. Now you dare to haggle with me here? Apparently, you really don’t take me seriously!"

"Alright kid, since that’s the case, I won’t waste words with you. Now it’s time to teach you a lesson!"

"This time, I will not only take back my beads, but I will also seize your Demon Core, leaving you with nothing!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhan awkwardly laughed, stepping forward first and said, "Look at you, every time I joke with you, you take it seriously, truly annoying!"
