Chapter 58 Making a Deal

Waves of severe pain continued to come from inside his body, causing Bu Gong’s face to twitch slightly; this extremely bad condition caused his mind to temporarily stop for a moment.Moreover, the condition inside Bu Gong’s body was getting worse and worse, which made him completely give up on the so-called Peeping Yuan Realm; “After all, it’s not possible,” he sighed slightly in his heart, and then a bitter look appeared on the corner of Bu Gong’s mouth.At this moment, he was no longer as nervous as before, but had regained his previous calmness; but from his slightly distorted face from time to time, it could be seen that the severe pain from inside his body was still growing.Being in this almost half-disabled state, even if Bu Gong had a good mentality, he would not believe that a miracle would happen if he continued to persevere; at the same time, he had a thought of giving up in his heart, because even if you don’t want to give up, no matter how unwilling you are, it will be of no use facing such a terrible situation.”It’s just like this after all,” Bu Gong murmured in a low voice, and then he decided to let go of his mind and let it fend for itself; because in the current state of his body, even if he could survive, he would most likely be worse than a mortal.Rather than living in disgrace, it is better to let nature take its course and perish!Just when he was about to completely let go and give up, a strange, slightly eerie and hoarse laugh suddenly sounded in his mind: “Hehe… kid, are you planning to give up just like that?”When Bu Gong heard this voice at first glance in this situation, he couldn’t help but be shocked, but then he regained his composure; because he had just heard the source of this voice, which was the evil spirit sealed by the black thread ball in his mind.If this had happened in the past, Bu Gong would have been fully alert and raised his vigilance to the highest level to deal with it; but in this situation, Bu Gong no longer had the slightest interest in being cautious and vigilant.Even if he survived, he would definitely be crippled. He was even prepared for death. So why was he still on full alert for it? Was there any point?Therefore, when he heard the voice just now, Bu Gong did not take any precautions; “Huh… In this situation, will it be of any use if I insist?” In response to this, Bu Gong also responded weakly.”Tsk tsk, boy, I didn’t expect you to be so open-minded.” The evil spirit couldn’t help but praise Bu Gong’s words; after hearing what the other party said, Bu Gong rolled his eyes several times in his heart. How could these words sound like gloating?”Are you gloating over my misfortune? If I die, will you be relieved and able to go out?” Bu Gong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone.”Boy, how about we make a deal?” The divine consciousness did not respond to Bu Gong’s words, but instead asked such an irrelevant question.”Huh?” Bu Gong’s heart skipped a beat when he heard the other party say that, but then he immediately returned to his previous state; because Bu Gong knew the internal situation of his body better than anyone else, and even if he had a magic pill or some other medicine to take, he probably wouldn’t get better.And yet the other party still wanted to negotiate a deal with him? What was the point of negotiating a deal when his life was already gone? Therefore, Bu Gong simply ignored the question about the evil spirit’s consciousness. Saying more would be a waste of words.Seeing Bu Gong like this, the evil spirit’s consciousness was not discouraged. Instead, it hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said: “Boy, what if I can help you break free from the shackles and advance to what you cultivators call the Peeping Origin Realm?”As soon as the other party uttered these words, Bu Gong’s expression suddenly froze, and even his breathing became a little rapid; but Bu Gong was not overwhelmed by these words, and he still forced himself to remain calm and did not lose his composure.”Is there any way to break free from the shackles and advance to the Yuan-seeking realm?” When Bu Gong calmed down a little and pondered this sentence carefully, his heart, which had been a little excited just now, returned to its previous calmness.”Huh… are you kidding me? Do you think I’m a fool? Or do I understand nothing?” When Bu Gong calmed down and thought about it carefully, he suddenly felt like laughing out of anger.In response to this, Bu Gong also had an urge to curse; “Do you think you are a powerful person with extraordinary means? Or a real immortal? You want me to break through the Yuan realm?”Before this, Bu Gong had indeed spent more than half a year collecting a lot of information about the immortal roots of cultivators; but almost all ancient books and documents came to the same conclusion: people without immortal roots will never be able to enter the Kuiyuan realm in their lifetime.This is almost equivalent to a curse on all cultivators; and although there have been people who have not had immortal roots for thousands or tens of thousands of years, there are people who have broken through to higher levels, but they are extremely rare and can hardly be seen in thousands of years.As far as Bu Gong knew, the information obtained by Xianyang Sect recorded a person who was able to break through to a higher level without having immortal roots, and that was the legendary figure who was said to have appeared briefly during the “changes in heaven and earth” five thousand years ago: Xing Zitian.As for whether there are other people, Bu Gong doesn’t know for the time being; because the Xianyang Sect is an ordinary immortal cultivation sect that is neither big nor small for Sang Yunzhou, and perhaps because of its background, there are not many records in this regard.Therefore, Bu Gong felt that what the evil spirit in the other party’s mind had just said was a bit absurd, because he did not believe that the other party could have such means; he thought that the other party said this just to tease him.”Boy, what are you talking about? From what you said, it seems that you don’t believe that I can help you break through the Yuan realm?” At this time, the evil spirit was also a little stunned by Bu Gong’s words, and then asked a little angrily.”Is it fun to tease people? If you are just making fun of me at this time, then your goal has been achieved.” In response, Bu Gong snorted coldly.”Wow, this really makes me angry. You lowly ant, why would I lie to you?””Huh… I’ve read a lot of classic books over the past six months, and the conclusions I’ve reached are almost the same: without immortal roots, it’s impossible to break through the Body Shaping Stage. You say you can do it, so you can do it? Who do you think you are?””Puff” As soon as Bu Gong finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood, his face became paler, and his breath became weaker!Seeing Bu Gong like this, the evil spirit lost its temper: “Hu…Hu…Little, boy, I won’t bother with you. Let me ask you one more thing, if I can really help you, will you agree to do me a favor?”At this moment, Bu Gong saw the other party’s expression and felt a little suspicious: “Could it be that what he said is true?” Even though this thought popped up in his mind again, Bu Gong still looked unbelievable.”Are you telling the truth?” Bu Gong frowned slightly, and his tone became restrained and a bit calm.”I’ve said it before, I can help you do it, it’s just that you don’t believe it.” After hearing Bu Gong’s question, the evil spirit hummed.”This…you, you really didn’t lie to me?” At this time, Bu Gong’s expression became completely solemn; excitement flashed in the depths of his dark pupils.”Hmph, do I need to deceive a junior like you? But, hehe… if you continue in this state, I really won’t be able to do anything.” The evil spirit said with a bit of sarcasm, and then laughed sinisterly.But at this moment, Bu Gong’s heart was as if roaring with thunder, and huge waves were stirring up. He was extremely shocked by what the evil spirit had just said. “It looks like he really doesn’t seem to be lying to me. After all, even if he lies to me, he won’t get any benefits.” Bu Gong’s thoughts were turning rapidly in his mind.Hearing the evil spirit say this, Bu Gong’s heart, which had just been unable to control itself, suddenly seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water. He sobered up in an instant and calmed down a bit; “My current condition is indeed very bad. If I really do as he said and drag it on, then…” Thinking of this, Bu Gong’s eyes flashed, and then a hint of decisiveness flashed across his eyes.”Okay, if you can really help me break through the body-shaping stage and advance to the Yuan-seeking stage, I can agree to help you.” Bu Gong’s expression moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice.”In this situation, no matter what I do or say, it will be useless. I should agree to solve the current crisis first. After all, I have agreed to help him, and the initiative is still in my hands. I can act according to circumstances later.” This was the thought that flashed through Bu Gong’s mind at this moment. The most important thing is to save his life first.
