Free Web NovelChapter 743: Chapter 257: Shackles (Part 2)
The three of them joined forces, tried their best, but not only failed to catch Tu Yuan, they ended up being played around.
Yet the person before us managed to effortlessly force Tu Yuan out of the Earth Escape state, which is quite incredible.
"Hmm."
Lei He and Liao Xingfan nodded slightly.
"..."
"Lesser Profound Elixir, Seventh-Grade Phoenix Blood Elixir, Miss Ji is really generous."
"What I’m more curious about is that this person actually cultivates Immortal Martial, truly interesting. To have cultivated Immortal Martial to this level, he must have at least opened two Divine Treasures, right?"
"More than that, maybe he’s already started breaking through the Shackled Realm!"
"Shackled Realm? Impossible, those who can advance to the Shackled Realm are comparable to Golden Core powerhouses, and his strength hasn’t reached the Golden Elixir Layer yet, right?"
"Definitely not the Shackled Realm, but I feel it’s close."
"I also feel that maybe he’s about to tear the shackles of power, otherwise his strength would be too monstrous!"
"..."
The spectators whispered their discussions.
Those daring to explore the Demon God Barrier usually have either strong enough power or a powerful background, with protectors who are powerhouses.
Their experiences are quite extraordinary.
Just listening to these discussions, Lin Zheyu found them rewarding.
"Immortal Martial?"
"Opened two Divine Treasures?"
"Shackled Realm?"
"Is my current strength equivalent to walking the path of Immortal Martial and being a powerhouse who has opened two Divine Treasures?"
Lin Zheyu slightly raised an eyebrow.
After several inquiries before, he couldn’t find the information he wanted, but today he unexpectedly heard it in others’ discussions.
The affairs of the world are indeed intriguing.
"Not enough."
Lin Zheyu shook his head and said calmly.
From others’ discussions, it’s clear that the Lesser Profound Elixir and the Seventh-Grade Phoenix Blood Elixir are quite valuable.
Lin Zheyu previously saw someone selling Phoenix Blood Elixir in the black market.
According to the vendor, taking one each month can refine the physique and enhance strength. Taking it for ten years has a chance of acquiring a hint of the legendary Fire Phoenix Bloodline.
But the vendor didn’t mention the grade of the Phoenix Blood Elixir.
In the cultivation world, elixirs are graded from one to nine, with the first being the highest and ninth the lowest.
Seventh-grade elixirs are considered to have a decent grade.
Lin Zheyu speculated that the one the vendor was selling must have been the lowest grade Phoenix Blood Elixir.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t require ten years of consumption to have a chance at gaining a Fire Phoenix Bloodline.
As for this Seventh-Grade Phoenix Blood Elixir, perhaps taking just one could come with a significant chance of acquiring a Fire Phoenix Bloodline.
"Even this isn’t enough, Tu Yuan is probably only worth one Seventh-Grade Phoenix Blood Elixir, what a greedy fellow."
"Indeed, the Seventh-Grade Phoenix Blood Elixir has an 80% chance of granting the user a Fire Phoenix Bloodline, which is extremely precious for Body Cultivators."
"Indeed, too greedy..."
"..."
The others discussed intensely.
However, Lin Zheyu was unmoved.
The Fire Phoenix Bloodline was tempting, but it would merely extend his lifespan by twenty years and enhance recovery ability by about thirty percent.
To Lin Zheyu, it wasn’t significant.
"I wonder what conditions Mr. Xiao needs to spare Tu Yuan?" Ji Zitong smiled subtly, making it difficult to guess her intentions.
"Haven’t decided yet."
"May I hold onto it until I’ve thought about it?"
Lin Zheyu’s expression changed slightly, and he spoke calmly.
Judging from others’ reactions, the Ji Family’s credibility seemed reliable.
Catching this opportunity, having Ji Zitong owe him a favor wouldn’t be a bad choice.
Lin Zheyu didn’t intend to make Ji Zitong agree to excessive conditions using this favor.
He merely wanted to leverage Ji Zitong for access to the core channels of the cultivation world.
"Of course."
Ji Zitong smiled gently, like a spring breeze.
Her exquisite and fair face, paired with a pleasing smile, made the surrounding male cultivators take a few more glances unwittingly.
"Alright."
"Here you go."
Lin Zheyu casually tossed Tu Yuan over.
All of Tu Yuan’s storage items had been taken by him anyway.
Though Tu Yuan’s escape technique was marvelous, without a Magical Artifact, Lin Zheyu didn’t think Tu Yuan could pose him much threat.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao."
Ji Zitong thanked him with a smile.
With a light wave of her right hand, Tu Yuan, tightly bound by Magical Artifact ropes, fell into Ji Zitong’s grasp.
Ji Zitong smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, would you mind accompanying me? I have a matter to ask for your help."
"Sure."
Lin Zheyu nodded slightly, then glanced at Lei Yunshu and invited, "Miss Lei, would you like to join?"
"Hmm."
Exchanging looks with her companions, Lei Yunshu agreed.
She had a good impression of Lin Zheyu, and even Ji Zitong wanted to connect with him, so Lei Yunshu wouldn’t miss the chance.
They moved out of the crowd, their figures darting towards the distance.
Liao Xingfan, Yuan Qiu, and their companion frowned at this scene, tempted to follow, but ultimately shook their heads and abandoned the idea.
The Ji Family’s influence was significant.
With Ji Zitong, Tu Yuan, and that mysterious Immortal Martial powerhouse, even if they caught up, they wouldn’t stand a chance against them.
"There’s a powerful demon approaching, let’s go!"
"Let’s head to the depths of the Demon God Barrier first, find a good spot, and wait for the descent of rule fragments," Yuan Qiu said in a grave tone.
The three exchanged a glance and vanished in an instant.
The lack of a battle disappointed the spectators.
Hoping to gain from the situation was impossible.
As Lin Zheyu and others left, the spectators also dispersed.
However, some stubborn cultivators, once others had gone, secretly sneaked into the Demon Lake, hoping to find something there.
