Chapter 2725: Chapter 2717: Talking About Fortune (Third Update, Seeking Double Votes)

The Wanhuan Sect learned of the news and couldn’t afford to continue delaying, so they directly contacted the Seven Emotions Path.

Among the Seven Sects and Eighteen Paths, the Wanhuan Sect is considered close to the Seven Emotions Path, despite having no formal alliance—it’s prohibited to form such alliances, but there are quite a few friendly cultivators between them.

If you delve into the reasons, just look at the names of the two: "Seven Emotions" and "Wanhuan."

Many cultivators of the Seven Emotions Path have rather quirky personalities, but when paired with cultivators from Wanhuan—no worries, there’s always one that suits you.

In fact, there are also plenty of sworn enemies between cultivators of the Seven Emotions Path and the Wanhuan Sect—when it’s a true clash of personalities.

The relationships between cultivators of both sects are quite extreme, with some being extremely good and others terribly bad, but relatively speaking, their connection is indeed closer.

Faced with Wanhuan Sect’s inquiry, the Seven Emotions Path responded frankly: Feng Jun brought it up, if you don’t agree, he won’t refine a magical treasure.

Hearing this reason, the Wanhuan Sect was left with no choice but to grumble, "That brat is too arrogant... this isn’t over!"

While they were cursing, Qian Zhong didn’t continue waiting and directly descended to White Pebble Beach.

She instinctively wanted to spy on Feng Jun’s estate but realized the terrifying aura remained, so she reluctantly backed off.

"I’m so envious of you," a divine sense descended, evidently only Xuanyuan Buqi dared to do this, "doing nothing yet seized half an opportunity to ascend... why didn’t I get such a chance?"

Claiming she did nothing is nonsense; True Sage Qian Zhong had been out for over thirty days, and without Feng Jun’s shuttle service, she was left to travel arduously on her own, often performing deductions.

For what she accomplished, even ordinary True Sages wouldn’t move—it’s not a matter of Spirit Stones; it’s about lacking the prestige.

Yet, Xuanyuan Buqi is also a True Sage, making it easy for him to mock her: didn’t even fight, yet dared to count it as half!

Divine Spirit True Sages live for over tens of thousands of years, a mere few dozen days without much spiritual energy spent, so he’s not wrong.

But only those of equal status can make such remarks; try asking any Soul Exit True Sage, would they dare to say such?

"You didn’t get the chance because you can’t perform deductions," Qian Zhong won’t entertain his provocation, she’s used to responding calmly.

However, in the next moment, she suspiciously glanced at Xuanyuan Buqi, "You’ve obtained something good, right? Trying to flaunt it?"

"Nothing of the sort," Xuanyuan Buqi shook his head decisively, yet smiled like a weasel that stole ten chickens, "don’t talk nonsense."

Qian Zhong stared at him for a full ten seconds, then finally smiled, "Alright, I won’t talk nonsense."

Xuanyuan Buqi felt as if he had been directly hung up in the air, neither here nor there.

Actually, Qian Zhong also felt uncomfortable inside—I just went to the Higher Realm, where did you guys strike it rich?

Before the Yao Family went into seclusion, news from the Amber Realm could be gathered, but now it requires deliberate arrangements to find out.

She was quite clear about Feng Jun’s "God of Wealth" attribute, seeing Xuanyuan Buqi’s expression made her feel like she missed out on millions.

Fortunately, she was a Kun cultivator, relatively calmer, also possessing a aloof persona, so she decided to maintain composure.

But eventually, she couldn’t hold back, speaking up after ten minutes, "What’s going on inside? Seems like the great one isn’t refining artifacts."

Indeed, both Xuanyuan Buqi and she referred to Jing Ling as the great one.

"Who knows," Xuanyuan Buqi replied with a smile, "I don’t have the guts to peek, why don’t you take a look?"

"If the penalty is extreme, would you pay?" Qian Zhong wouldn’t hesitate when facing Xuanyuan Buqi, "If you pay, I’ll go."

Of course, Xuanyuan Buqi remained silent, Qian Zhong thought she had already spoken up, so she casually asked, "Going somewhere and collecting something... mainly still thinking about my half chance, right?"

For Xuanyuan Buqi, pondering is unavoidable, although Nascent Baby Pills are good, they can’t compare to half an opportunity.

Six Nascent Baby Pills for one Soul Exit Pill, only a fool would refuse.

However, things can’t be viewed entirely this way, the shortage of treasures within a force primarily depends on its needs; the Xuanyuan Family currently lacks Soul Exit True Sages, even if it’s sixty—oh no, twelve Nascent Baby Pills for a Soul Exit Pill, he’d certainly agree to the exchange.

Of course, Nascent Baby Pills can enhance the Xuanyuan Family’s foundation, initially he was reluctant to part, but now... there’s no other choice?

So he smiled mysteriously, "My threads of fate are deep, after all, Soul Exit Pill... I’m not in a rush, doesn’t everyone prepare for three to fifty years before the Soul Exit? Take your time."

Your Xuanyuan Family members are all scoundrels! Qian Zhong understood perfectly, this fellow must be scheming something, otherwise, he wouldn’t say these things, but comprehension doesn’t mean she isn’t curious.

In the end, she couldn’t hold back. However, she felt she was just testing the waters, "No rush is good, then how about letting me have future opportunities first? My Yao Family is in need of a True Sage for soul exit."

Xuanyuan Buqi laughed again, his laugh was very mysterious, "Let you? Sure, but what benefit do I get?"

Really let me? Qian Zhong glanced at him suspiciously. Although the Xuanyuan Family is not easily fooled, they honor their words.

This matter definitely has something fishy, not participating means not being deceived, so she calmly expressed, "Then forget it, let’s rely on our own skills."

"Hehe," Xuanyuan Buqi chuckled softly and stopped speaking, adopting a "do whatever you like" demeanor.

However, his level of digging traps was indeed extraordinary. Eventually, Qian Zhong couldn’t help it, "If you dare to have designs on my Soul Exit Pill, you’d better think carefully about the consequences."

"Haha," Xuanyuan Buqi was pleased but still didn’t reveal the truth, "It’s not me saying, but you only have this much foresight."

"I never had much foresight in the first place," Qian Zhong replied with composure, she had already decided not to fall into the trap, but her mind was spinning wildly—what advantage did this guy get?

Xuanyuan Buqi waited a moment, feeling that he had lured the opponent sufficiently, then he snorted lightly, "Do you think he has only two Soul Exit Pills? This level of foresight...and you won’t allow me to mock you?"

"Eh?" Qian Zhong had been imagining various possibilities, hearing this, she instinctively asked, "There’s a third one?"

"Third one... I truly don’t know," Xuanyuan Buqi was startled by her line of thinking, he actually had this expectation in his heart but didn’t dare to say it out loud, "Your statement can easily attract thieves."

"If there are two, can’t there be a third?" Qian Zhong was afraid he’d say no, instead, she proactively proposed—after all, you oppose, I can try it, but of course, can’t be too harsh on the contradiction, "The second one is already mine, I can help you with the third one."

"Eh, such unique thinking?" Xuanyuan Buqi didn’t dare gamble, Feng Jun still has a third Soul Exit Pill, "The second belongs to me, I can fully help you fight for the third one... Consider it, I can use Xuanyuan Family’s resources."

"Just knew you are only so capable," Qian Zhong smiled dismissively, "Let’s rely on our own skills, the second one is mine, the third one is still mine... Do you think I’m afraid to fight with you?"

Xuanyuan Buqi pretended to be dumbfounded, "Hey, hey, can you really be this unreasonable?"

Qian Zhong glanced at him calmly, "When have you ever heard that a Kun cultivator would reason with you?"

"Alright, I admit defeat," Xuanyuan Buqi didn’t want to keep her hanging for too long, after all, he got the Nascent Baby Pill, known throughout the Amber Realm, "I mean, Mountain Master Feng might have other elixirs."

Not believing you can hold back! Qian Zhong was determined too, knowing Xuanyuan Buqi actively broaching the topic definitely had a purpose, so she wasn’t in a rush, and spoke slowly, "So what elixirs did you get?"

"Nascent Baby Pill, got some small fortune in the Amber Realm," Xuanyuan Buqi replied, taking the opportunity to tease her a bit, "Anyway, you’ll find out sooner or later, so I’m lazy to hide it from you."

"Will you die if you speak properly?" Qian Zhong couldn’t help but roll her eyes, then suddenly froze, "Nascent Baby Pill? Name your price."

"What are you thinking?" Xuanyuan Buqi snorted coldly, "Think my Xuanyuan Family cannot even guard a single Nascent Baby Pill?"

Is this a matter of guarding or not? Qian Zhong didn’t bother with this guy, "What exactly are you trying to say with all this chatter?"

Is there water in your brain? Xuanyuan Buqi didn’t voice the insult but expressed helplessly, "I’ve already made it clear right? He has more than two Soul Exit Pills!"

"I thought your key point was ’two’," Qian Zhong sneered, knowing the other was playing with words, faced with such petty behavior, all she could do was point it out, with no other means of retaliation.

But then she asked, "The Nascent Baby Pill obtained from the Amber Realm, does it have anything to do with him?"

This is the most fundamental question. Of course, she was also envious of the Nascent Baby Pill, but she didn’t expect to be able to extract it from Xuanyuan Buqi, so she needed to consider whether the means by which the guy acquired the elixir was legitimate.

If "not properly gained" perhaps she could do something, like uphold justice.

Serving justice for Feng Jun... This possibility is slim, probably not needed, but is there any harm in asking?

"It’s really somewhat related to him," Xuanyuan Buqi pondered, recounting the events.

"Didn’t make a mistake, right?" Qian Zhong frowned slightly, feeling Xuanyuan Buqi was a bit delusional, "That was a treasure within the Heavenly Curtain, you just happened to have good fortune... Bold-faced enough to relate this to him?"

"I find it strange, how can you be adept at deduction?" Xuanyuan Buqi’s eyes widened, "Even if you aren’t proficient in the Technique of Qi Observation, the principle of fortune... you ought to get it, right?"

Is he talking about Feng Jun’s fortune? Qian Zhong nodded subconsciously. There’s really nothing to dispute about this. This person rose from the Mortal Realm, almost single-handedly developing to this point, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, as dazzling as could be.

If one claimed this person has no great fortune upon him, she wouldn’t believe it, but she also clearly understood Xuanyuan Buqi had his own calculations speaking this way, and she didn’t plan to follow his plan.

So Qian Zhong glanced towards the direction of the estate, diverting the topic, "What is he doing now?"
