Chapter 241: How could it lose?
Hearing this answer, Ji Yang smiled knowingly, and his attitude changed slightly.
"Since that’s the case, why don’t you help me find where the best Demon Spirit Ore is?"
The Xuanwu snorted coldly, its pride evident. It had been indifferent before; why was it suddenly begging now?
It wanted to play hardball, but in the next moment, Ji Yang revealed a Yun Ling Dan in his hand and said:
"Of course, I won’t treat you unfairly. If you can help me find the best Demon Spirit Ore, I’ll give you one of these pills."
The aroma of the Yun Ling Dan made the Xuanwu, who initially intended to remain aloof, drool with greed.
"If I help you find it, how many of these pills will you give me?"
The Xuanwu stared at the Yun Ling Dan in Ji Yang’s hand and asked.
Ji Yang pondered for a moment, but before he could reply, the Xuanwu decisively stated:
"One piece of the best Demon Spirit Ore for ten of these pills!"
"I won’t do it for less than that!"
"Wow."
Ji Yang inhaled sharply, making the proud Xuanwu feel triumphant.
Great! It had definitely grasped Ji Yang’s limits.
Having never encountered such a pill, it knew they were extremely rare. Just finding a piece of the best Demon Spirit Ore could earn it ten pills—it surely wouldn’t lose!
On the other hand, Ji Yang thought the Xuanwu was asking for a high price, but the outcome was indeed beyond his expectations.
Seeing the proud expression on the Xuanwu’s face, Ji Yang showed a hint of hesitation.
This made the Xuanwu anxious.
Had it asked for too much?
Should it lower the price a bit?
With such a large Demon Spirit Ore mountain, how many pieces of the best ore could there be? Finding a few dozen should be easy, right?
If all else fails, it could settle for nine pills, or even eight; seven was absolutely the lowest it could go.
As Ji Yang delayed his agreement, the Xuanwu grew anxious and regretted not letting Ji Yang speak first.
Ji Yang noticed the Xuanwu’s conflicting emotions, but after thinking it over, he realized it wouldn’t be wise to push too hard; he still had thousands of Yun Ling Dans in the Heaven’s Secret Pearl.
However, he needed to maintain an air of negotiation.
With this in mind, Ji Yang displayed a conflicted expression, seemingly making a tough decision, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"Fine! Ten pills it is!"
"Deal!"
Hearing Ji Yang’s agreement, the Xuanwu felt a weight lift off its heart.
Thank goodness it had held its ground; this meant it had earned several extra pills!
How could it lose?
"Just to be clear, I’m only responsible for helping you locate it; whether or not it can be mined is not my concern! Although I have the ability to traverse, I cannot bring it out from inside!"
"Alright!"
Ji Yang nodded. As long as he had the specific location, his iron pick would activate its potential.
Under the influence of the Yun Ling Dan, the Xuanwu no longer hesitated. A soft glow radiated from its body as it headed deep into the Demon Spirit Mine.
Even though it could traverse, finding the location of the best Demon Spirit Ore would still take some time.
Seeing the Xuanwu begin to work, Ji Yang also kept busy, continuing his mining.
…
On a luxurious spiritual boat.
Ren Yuning frowned tightly, looking at the information just transmitted from the sect with confusion.
The so-called Talent Jealousy Ji Yang had been captured by her Heaven Demon Sect and thrown into a Demon Spirit Mine to mine.
He had already been mining for a day.
Especially after learning Ji Yang was the first to surrender, Ren Yuning felt even more puzzled!
Talent Jealousy, Peak Master Ye’s prized disciple from He Dao Sect, had established his Foundation within just over a year. Whether in status or potential, he was undeniably a genius.
Would such a genius choose to be the first to give up?
Ren Yuning couldn’t believe it, but she had just received a report indicating that when the Demonic Sect’s people checked, Ji Yang was hard at work mining, showing no signs of deception.
Receiving the report, Ren Yuning furrowed her brows deeply.
There must be something strange about this situation.
Yet for the moment, she didn’t know where the oddity lay.
This feeling left her feeling frustrated.
No, she had to get to the bottom of this matter and see what Ji Yang was planning by infiltrating her Heaven Demon Sect’s Demon Spirit Mine.
Considering the recent events at He Dao Sect, it was possible they were brewing a major conspiracy.
However, if it weren’t for the explosion that had prompted the nearby forces to investigate, He Dao Sect would have had no time to pay attention, and she wouldn’t have had the opportunity to come to Qingsuo City and search for clues from that day!
With this thought, Ren Yuning waved her hand, calling over a maid, and said:
"Bring me all the information on Ji Yang!"
The maid looked puzzled:
"Miss, didn’t we already receive some before?"
Ren Yuning shook her head:
"Not enough! I want everything—who he’s made friends with in the sect, what he’s done, when, all of it must be thoroughly investigated!"
The maid said nothing more, only sending out several transmissions to gather information from every corner of the Heaven Demon Sect, including potential spies within the sect.
Meanwhile, Niu Yan, who had just become a pawn in the Heaven Demon Sect, suddenly received this transmission.
Looking at the threats and rewards in the message, Niu Yan sighed.
"Senior Brother Ji, I’m sorry; I didn’t want this!"
"It’s all because they pressured me!"
"Brother, you possess great power; you wouldn’t mind these small matters, would you?"
With that, Niu Yan turned and walked towards the sect, preparing to learn more about this Senior Brother Ji from the disciples.
Previously, he had been cultivating deeply at Tianxing Lake and didn’t know much about Senior Brother Ji, but he sensed that this Ji Yang was not ordinary.
…
"You may rest for one hour!"
"Those who do not wish to rest can continue!"
Inside the Demon Spirit Mine, several demonic path cultivators held storage bags as they walked deeper into the mine, collecting the Demon Spirit Ore mined by others while shouting.
Upon receiving the order, the crowd certainly had no desire to continue and put down their iron picks.
Under the restraint shackles, mining the ore was incredibly laborious for everyone.
And with just one hour of rest amidst a grueling twelve-hour day, some who had been imprisoned for long had seen their levels decrease instead of increase due to the years of mining, suffering from demonic energy and looking lifeless.
However, others seemed accustomed to it, merely calculating whether they had mined enough ore for the day.
Before long, those who failed to meet their quotas were lashed with long whips, filling the air with cries of distress.
The whip, a special artifact, inflicted great pain without injuring the cultivator’s foundation, making it something everyone dreaded in the mine.
As two demonic path cultivators approached Ji Yang, they gazed in surprise at the considerably deep mine and the pile of Demon Spirit Ore beside him.
Then they soon laughed, saying:
"Not bad! No wonder you are the talented disciple from He Dao Sect; even mining is better than the other disciples."
"Ha ha, I heard you have Talent Jealousy, but it doesn’t seem all that special."
The two demonic path cultivators mocked back and forth, their eyes filled with derision.
Being able to watch these talented disciples suffer as they mined was one of their rare sources of amusement.
