Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1604: Chapter 1601: Deal Made, He Left

Zhou Wanqing held the jade scroll in his hands, feeling the faint pressure emanating from it, his mind in turmoil.

Five hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones, along with the wealth gathered from the two women, and Yang Fei’s friendship.

This offer is indeed tempting enough.

But what truly made his heart stir was not the amount of spirit stones, but the shadows cast by the colossal entities behind Yang Fei.

Shen Wanjing, the city lord of Shifang City, is ranked among the top three in combat power in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, reportedly having touched the threshold of Unity Realm, claimed to be at Half Step Dao Unity, with only three people in the entire Southern Domain reaching this realm.

Zhantai Chunqiu, the Sect Master of Shang Qing Sect, is also a top master on par with Shen Wanjing, controlling one of the oldest righteous sects in the Southern Domain.

And then there’s Wan Daorong, although his cultivation does not match the first two, he holds the prestigious title of "Master of Ten Thousand Laws" in the Southern Domain Cultivation World, respected by both the righteous and evil sects. Not to mention righteous sects, even some prominent figures from evil sects have benefited from him.

Offending him might even mean having to sleep with one eye open.

And himself?

As a Wushen sect elder with mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, it seems illustrious, but in front of these truly giant figures, it is nothing but a slightly bigger ant.

If he really kills this brat in front, not to mention whether Shen Wanjing and Zhantai Chunqiu themselves would take action, just Wan Daorong alone would be enough to give Wushen sect headaches.

By then, would the upper echelon of Wushen sect resist these forces to protect him?

The answer is obvious.

Although he is an elder of the Wushen sect, in the face of sect interests, individual life and death or honor is trivial.

The cultivation world is a realm of survival of the fittest, strength is revered, yet it is also a world of human relationships and norms.

Zhou Wanqing took a deep breath, his gaze landing on Yang Fei.

This young man, seeming merely at late-stage Core Formation cultivation, yet possesses such a robust background, and carries fifty hundred thousand top-grade spirit stones around, is simply dripping with wealth.

What he admired even more was Yang Fei, facing him, a mid-stage Nascent Soul evil cultivator, showed no trace of fear, but instead conversed eloquently, even daring to haggle with him.

Such boldness is rare throughout the Southern Domain Cultivation World.

"Alright, I agree to your terms."

Zhou Wanqing finally spoke, his voice tinged with a bit of resignation and appreciation.

Upon hearing this, Yang Fei revealed a smile on his face and cupped his hands, "Senior is wise."

As he spoke, he flipped his palm and a storage bag appeared in his hand, which he casually tossed to Zhou Wanqing: "Senior, please take a look, here are exactly fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones, not a single one missing."

Zhou Wanqing received the storage bag and penetrated it with his divine sense, suddenly feeling a jolt of his heart.

What a guy, packed full with top-grade spirit stones, exuding rich spiritual energy fluctuations, the purity level higher than any top-grade spirit stones he had ever seen.

This young man really wasn’t boasting.

He subconsciously swallowed, secretly annoyed in his heart.

Had I known this young man was so wealthy, I should have insisted a bit more, maybe I could have asked for a million.

However, Zhou Wanqing, after all, lived for six hundred years, even as an evil cultivator, he still had basic integrity.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the greed in his heart, and waved casually, instantly releasing the restriction on Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu.

"This is the antidote for the Heart Devouring Pill."

Zhou Wanqing took out a jade bottle from his bosom, tossing it to the two women, "After consuming this, within three days, you can restore your cultivation without any side effects."

Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu received the jade bottle, exchanged glances, and both showed joy in their eyes.

"Thank you, senior," Yang Fei cupped his hands and said.

Zhou Wanqing waved his hand dismissively, saying, "No need to thank me, this is a fair and just transaction."

Seeing him so straightforward, Yang Fei couldn’t help but feel a bit of goodwill, saying, "Senior is forthright, junior admires you. Today’s matter, junior owes senior a favor. If senior ever has a need, feel free to instruct, as long as it doesn’t go against junior’s principles, I will definitely do my utmost to assist."

Hearing this, Zhou Wanqing’s eyes showed a trace of surprise.

He originally thought Yang Fei would leave, after all, the righteous and evil paths are irreconcilable, this young man being a core disciple of Shang Qing Sect, associating with him, a Wushen sect evil cultivator, would surely be bad for his reputation if word got out.

Unexpectedly, Yang Fei actually proactively said he owed him a favor.

This really is... interesting.

"Aren’t you afraid of me using this favor to do something heaven-defying and evil?"

Zhou Wanqing looked at Yang Fei with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

Yang Fei smiled faintly, saying, "Although senior is a Wushen sect evil cultivator, junior observes senior’s conduct is not that of those who commit heinous acts. Today senior released the captives willingly, which shows senior has a conscience. Junior believes senior wouldn’t put junior in a difficult position."

Upon hearing these words, Zhou Wanqing felt a strange feeling in his heart.

He had cultivated for over six hundred years, seen countless righteous cultivators, every one of them calling for his death at sight, claiming to act on behalf of Tianxing.

Yet this young man in front of him said such words to him.

Though he had a request from him, this demeanor and temperament are truly admirable.

"Good, good, good!"

Zhou Wanqing said three good words consecutively, revealing a rare smile on his face, "I’ve cultivated for six hundred years, seen innumerable young cultivators, but have never met a character like you. Since you hold me in such regard, then I will not stand on ceremony either."

As he spoke, he took out a communication jade scroll and tossed it to Yang Fei, "This is my communication jade scroll, if you ever need something or if I have a need, we can contact each other through this."

Yang Fei received the jade scroll and solemnly kept it, cupping his hands, "Thank you, senior."

Zhou Wanqing nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu, then looked at Yang Fei and said, "I have one more question."

"Please speak, senior."

"Is it true that Earth has such abundant spirit stone resources?"

Zhou Wanqing wanted to confirm some news he got from the two women about Earth through Yang Fei.

Yang Fei, upon hearing the question, felt a movement in his heart, knowing the other party must have learned some related information about Earth from Qin Yanyang and Tong Yunshu, and thus harbored covetous thoughts for Earth’s resources, but now his identity and background have been revealed, he wasn’t afraid of the other party acting rashly, so he truthfully said, "To be honest, senior, Earth’s spirit stone resources are indeed rich, but now they’ve been targeted by Shang Qing Sect and the Six Great Cultivation Forces of the Southern Domain, they probably won’t let other forces have a share anymore. Furthermore, the transmission channel to Earth has a powerful boundary barrier law, and senior cannot cross it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wanqing felt a wave of disappointment and eventually nodded his head.

"Looks like I have no connection with Earth for now."

Yang Fei smiled, saying, "Senior need not be disappointed. There are quite a few Divinity Transformation Realm masters who know about Earth’s news, yet they still have no way to get there. Senior gained plenty this time, utilizing existing resources to cultivate diligently, will surely advance further. When the channel to Earth is eventually expanded, the stronger senior is, the greater the opportunity."

Zhou Wanqing’s eyes showed a flash upon hearing this.

This young man, indeed spoke right to my heart.

I’ve been trapped at mid-stage Nascent Soul for two hundred years, always struggling due to a lack of enough spirit stones to buy those precious advanced elixir pills.

Now with these fifty thousand top-grade spirit stones, I can completely purchase those long desired pills, and seclude myself to charge at late-stage Nascent Soul.

Once I break through, I can advance further within Wushen sect.

"Alright, I’ll take your auspicious words,"

Zhou Wanqing laughed heartily, cupping his hands, "Farewell."

After saying this, his figure flashed and disappeared from where he stood.

Yang Fei watched Zhou Wanqing leave, and only after confirming the other party truly departed, did he let out a long sigh of relief.
