Chapter 874 All Spirits Return to the Origin (Part Two)
Han Yi took a slow breath, and it took him a long time to calm down the surging killing intent in his heart and regain his composure.
"Of course. I, Lianxin, always keep my word. As long as you promise me one thing, I will not only let you go first... but I also won't cause you any trouble afterwards."
As soon as she finished speaking, the two old women in black robes changed their expressions and wanted to say something.
Lianxin waved her hand, interrupting the two people behind her: "I have my own ideas, listen to my arrangements."
Hearing her say that, even though the two of them were unwilling and had a lot to say, they could only hold back.
After all, Lianxin was the young lady, and the two of them were merely servants. "Oh?" Han Yi's gaze sharpened, and he looked at Lianxin with a serious expression. "Since that's the case..."
He didn't really want to start a fight.
The Myriad Beasts Sect has not yet reached the Northern Lands, and the current situation of the Myriad Manifestations Sect, which Chun Rongrong entrusted to him, is also unclear.
In the absence of any clear understanding of the situation, directly offending the Ronghua faction, which ranks among the top, would not be a wise move.
Although Han Yi was confident that he could kill Lian Xin and the other two, as well as all outsiders including Li Feibai, after he made his move.
However, the cultivation system of the Hundred Meridians was clearly a strange system that he did not understand and had never encountered before.
There's no guarantee that he won't discover some method that could cause the information to leak.
Moreover.
After taking action, the journey to other areas and the hassle of finding a suitable traction array will be a major challenge. Furthermore, if something goes wrong, whether or not we'll even be able to reach the North is uncertain.
"Please speak." Han Yi's thoughts raced, and he made a decision in almost an instant. "On the premise that it is something within my capabilities and that I can do."
"Of course." Lianxin smiled, her expression calm, as if she was absolutely certain that Han Yi could do it.
“Of course you can do it, it’s even easy for you…” A strange smile appeared on her face, as if she was enduring something. The thing she longed for was right in front of her, but she forcibly suppressed her emotions and remained calm.
"She... hand her over to me... you can leave now, and I'll even give you extra compensation..."
"???"
Everyone was puzzled and followed Lianxin's gaze, wondering to themselves what kind of person could have such great charm.
"Huh? Me?" Zhong Han looked blankly at the stares of everyone around her.
However, she was only slightly taken aback before she realized what was happening.
People weren't looking at her, but at her mother behind her, Zhong Yunxiu.
Zhong Yunxiu wore a pale yellow long dress with moon-white water sleeves on her arms and a light green belt around her waist. She had light makeup on, delicate eyebrows and bright eyes, and a faint fragrance of orchid wafted from her body.
Beneath her long, slender eyebrows, her eyes, seemingly reflecting clear, deep waters, occasionally betrayed a hint of melancholy. She possessed an oval face, pearly white teeth, and crimson lips, exuding a dignified and gentle air.
At first glance, her pretty face, which is somewhat similar to Zhong Han's, looks gentle and generous. The two don't seem like mother and daughter, but more like sisters.
Since Jingtian Manor was disbanded, Jiuqu Academy was merged into Wanshou Sect, and Han Yi rose to prominence.
Zhong Yunxiu then completely relinquished power, handing over her responsibilities to Zhong Han and Han Yi, her nominal son-in-law.
Without the entanglement of trivial and mundane matters, her worries suddenly lessened considerably.
With a focus on self-cultivation and a heart full of attention on her daughter Zhong Han and son-in-law Han Yi, she regained her peaceful and gentle maternal temperament and was in excellent condition.
"Are you... talking about me?!" Zhong Yunxiu froze on the spot, completely bewildered.
Actually, she wasn't the only one who was stunned.
Everyone present was stunned.
Everyone thought Lianxin was joking.
“Yes… I’m talking about you…” Lianxin’s eyes slowly turned red, and she looked at Zhong Yunxiu with a greedy gaze, filled with inexplicable longing. “Come with me, and I will give you… unprecedented happiness.”
As she finished speaking, she seemed to be electrocuted, her emotions so intense that her body trembled uncontrollably.
Upon arriving here, her behavior became apparent.
Everyone was certain that she wasn't joking.
"..."
Han Yi raised an eyebrow, his brow furrowing deeply. He strode forward, shielding Zhong Yunxiu and her daughter Zhong Han behind him.
"If you change the terms, I can agree to anything else."
“Others? No, it’s her.” Lianxin’s eyes were burning red, and her voice suddenly became sharp, full of aggression. “What? Do you need to spend money? Money, I’ll give you money.”
She took out a handful of purple, gold-like tokens from her bosom: "Star Essence Vouchers. You can exchange them for one hundred Star Essence in any city in the North. How about it?"
Even a powerful bloodline cultivator like Wang Tielong, whose bloodline development is nearing its limit and who is only one step away from becoming a Venerable, is only worth fifty Star Marrow, and that's an overestimation. One hundred Star Marrow.
For a martial artist like Zhong Yunxiu, whose potential has been largely exhausted and who will likely only have the combat power of an early-stage Grandmaster in this lifetime, she may have some advantages in terms of physique and appearance.
Let alone a hundred units of star marrow, even twenty units would be considered too much in the Northern slave market.
The price offered by Lianxin is quite high, which shows great sincerity.
only…...
Han Yi shook his head decisively: "No."
This isn't about having a lot of money or a little money.
"No?" Lianxin was taken aback, instinctively thinking the other party was raising the price. "Two hundred Star Marrow!"
"…...no."
"five hundred!"
"…...no."
"A thousand star marrow!!!" "...No."
"Still not enough?!" Lianxin was getting exasperated. "This is all the money I have on me. One thousand Star Marrow..."
She gritted her teeth, seemingly making a difficult decision with a heavy heart.
“A thousand Star Essence, plus this Soul Weapon Fragment! How about that, are you satisfied now?” Lianxin took out a dark gold, mottled, rust-like heavy metal piece from her bosom and was about to throw it to Han Yi.
"Miss?! No!!" Elder Qing's expression changed drastically, and without hesitation, he stood in front of Lianxin.
Another old woman in black robes, also looking shocked, stood in front of them.
Why did the three of them rush back to their family in the North after such a short trip?
Isn't it all for this unknown fragment of a soul artifact?
If we don't get back to the family in time and deal with it using special methods, the power inside will be completely drained away in no time.
"A fragment of a soul weapon?!" Han Yi's pupils shrank. This thing was no ordinary existence; it was a special weapon that only appeared in the high-end circles of the Hundred Veins.
Judging from the few words left by Chun Rongrong and the information gathered from the Gong family in the past few days.
Overall, the Northern Hundred Meridians primarily focus on cultivating the spirit and will, emphasizing the soul, gathering spiritual thoughts, and stressing the union and solidification of the spirit.
Different methods of forging the divine will enhance the body to varying degrees, generate different amounts of demonic power, and, combined with the differences in the racial constitution of the cultivators, naturally result in different divine will abilities that are truly developed.
Different kinds of divine abilities have become distinct, and thus, they have varying degrees of strength.
Those with low development value and no future prospects should be abandoned, and powerful divine abilities should be chosen instead.
The replacement here utilizes Soul Gear fragments.
You can either explore on your own or purchase it with Star Essence.
Find a suitable Soul Weapon fragment, implant it into your body, acquire new divine abilities, and develop your divine soul.
"A thousand Star Essence?! Plus a fragment of an unknown Soul Weapon?!" Li Feibai, standing to the side, was also dumbfounded.
Let's leave aside the Thousand Star Marrow for now.
Soul artifact fragments vary in value, and are classified into many grades based on their origin and quality, with varying values.
However, it has the lowest value. If not properly preserved, its power will be almost completely lost, making it impossible to restore or embed. It can only be barely implanted into the human body as a disposable item, a small fragment of divine will to be redeveloped.
It would take thousands of star marrow to buy even a small piece.
The fragment in Lianxin's hand was clearly an original piece with minimal power loss. Given its size, it could easily fetch tens of thousands of Star Essence at an auction. "A thousand Star Essence plus this Soul Weapon fragment would be more than enough to buy your entire caravan. How about that? Isn't my offer sufficient?"
Lianxin spoke softly, her face still beaming with a smile, but a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.
"Brother Han...the price is acceptable."
Li Feibai finally couldn't hold back any longer and whispered a reminder.
"That's about right. At this price... even if you can't buy a complete soul weapon, you can easily get a high-quality array flag or a powerful soul technique from the Nine Star Pavilion... even outside... your chances of survival will increase by 30%..."
He is genuinely worried for Han Yi now.
It's unheard of for a mere martial artist who's only a grandmaster to fetch such an astronomical price.
If it were him...
Even at the current price, a hundred Star Essence would have tempted him.
"Rumors have it that the Lotus Heart Saintess has certain peculiar habits..." Ye Jindie's expression was also strange, "It seems... the rumors aren't entirely false..."
It is said that Lianxin lost her mother at a young age and lacked maternal love. Due to her own talent, she underwent extremely cruel training from childhood, spending most of her time chasing, escaping and fighting back.
After rising to prominence, this woman desperately wanted to make up for her tragic and flawed childhood. She spent years searching for women with strong maternal qualities, locking them in her own courtyard to express her emotions.
"No wonder they're from the Ronghua family..." Ye Jindie sighed. "Everyone says the Ronghua lineage is richer than a country... At first, I didn't believe it..."
That thousand Star Essence alone was worth most of her fortune, yet she could just casually take it out.
This disparity left Ye Jindie with no choice but to smile bitterly.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were drawn to Han Yi, awaiting his answer.
silence.
Everyone fell silent, a deathly stillness descended.
Everyone is patiently waiting for an answer.
Han Yi lowered his eyelids, slowly lowered his head, and fell into a rare silence.
Those around him couldn't see his expression and assumed he was seriously considering it.
