Chapter 142 Trading
When Xiao Xun'er heard Xiao Ling mention the Soul Palace Guardian, she frowned slightly.
As the eldest daughter of the ancient clan, Xiao Xun'er naturally knew that the Soul Palace was a subordinate force of the Soul Clan and she did not have the slightest favorable impression towards it.
Fortunately, Xiao Ling has not fallen victim to the Soul Palace's evil hands, otherwise, he would have to settle the score with him.
A hint of disgust flashed across Xiao Xun'er's beautiful eyes, and she snorted coldly, "Those sinister and vicious people in the Soul Palace have committed many evils, and everyone should punish them together. I didn't expect them to turn their attention to Brother Xiao Ling. They deserve to die."
Xiao Ling's expression remained unchanged. He smiled faintly and said, "Since you also know something about the Soul Palace, you should understand their methods. Therefore, my current strength is still too weak. Holding this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade will not only do me no good, but will also bring a lot of trouble to the family."
"Moreover, I didn't give this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to the Ancient Clan for free. As long as you can help me negotiate with the strong men in the Ancient Clan, I believe the senior members of the Ancient Clan should be willing to pay some price to exchange this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. In this way, it can not only eliminate some troubles for me, but also provide some help to me at the moment."
After hearing Xiao Ling's explanation, Xiao Xun'er stopped talking, lowered her head slightly, and began to fall into deep thought.
Now that the Soul Clan has already set its sights on the Xiao family, with the Soul Clan's means, it is not difficult to know that the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade is in Xiao Ling's possession. In that case, Xiao Ling will definitely be in danger.
The thoughts in her mind lasted only a moment, and Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly, looking at Xiao Lin: "In this case, Xun'er will do as Brother Xiao Ling said. After I return to the ancient clan, I will definitely mention this matter to the elders."
"I think with Xun'er's identity, it shouldn't be a difficult matter, and there won't be too many twists and turns in reaching a deal."
After she finished speaking, a hint of doubt flashed in Xiao Xun'er's eyes, "However, Brother Xiao Ling, do you want to use this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade to exchange something with the Ancient Clan? As long as it is not an inheritance item of the Ancient Clan, Xun'er will do her best to help you get it."
Seeing Xiao Xun'er's puzzled look, Xiao Ling smiled faintly and replied, "I want to use this Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in my hand to exchange with the Ancient Clan for a Dou Sheng strongman's body and a ninth-level magic beast's essence and blood. The Ancient Clan has stood on the Douqi Continent for many years, and must have killed some Dou Sheng strongmen from hostile forces. As for the ninth-level magic beast's essence and blood, with the financial resources of the Ancient Clan, it should not be a difficult task."
Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "Brother Xiao Ling, I don't quite understand why you need the body of a Dou Sheng and the essence of a ninth-level monster?"
After hearing Xiao Xun'er's question, Xiao Ling naturally had no intention of hiding anything. "Xun'er, these materials are actually prepared for that Yaochen Yao Zun. Now he only has a soul body left. If you want to revive him, you need to use high-quality bodies and magic beast essence blood."
"If the quality of the materials used to refine the new body is higher, the recovery effect will naturally be better. If we can use the body of a Dou Sheng and the essence of a ninth-level magical beast as the main materials, it won't be difficult for him to break through to the Dou Sheng level."
Xiao Ling wanted to use the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade in his hand to exchange with the ancient clan. What he wanted was the body of a Dou Sheng powerful man and the essence and blood of a ninth-level demon beast.
The reason for this plan was naturally to give this body to Yao Chen to refine a new body.
Today, Yao Chen not only accepts Qing Lin as his personal disciple, but also can be considered as a half-mentor to Xiao Ling, so Xiao Ling certainly trusts him.
Judging from Yao Chen's personality, after he is successfully resurrected, he will definitely not do anything to harm Xiao Ling, but will only take better care of Xiao Ling.
After Xiao Ling went to Zhongzhou, he would be able to get things done much easier with the support of a Dou Sheng master and ninth-grade alchemist.
After hearing Xiao Ling's explanation, Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly and asked curiously, "Brother Xiao Ling, is that Medicine Venerable Senior so important to you? Why would he make you spend so much money, even giving away the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, just to find the best materials for him and refine a new body for him?"
Meeting Xiao Xun'er's suspicious gaze, Xiao Ling nodded and said slowly: "Xun'er, Senior Yao Chen not only gave me guidance in cultivation, but also gave me great help in refining medicine. Although we are not master and apprentice, he treats me like his own disciple. This deep friendship cannot be measured by a mere treasure."
“And when Senior Yao Chen is resurrected and breaks through to Dou Sheng, with the profound foundation he has accumulated over the years, it won’t be difficult for him to break through to the ninth level in alchemy. When I go to Zhongzhou, I’ll have someone to rely on.”
Xiao Xun'er frowned slightly, and put her jade-like fingers on her chin. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Brother Xiao Ling, if that's the case, Xun'er agrees to help you with this matter. However, Xun'er still wants to meet Senior Yao Chen and confirm it in person. After all, this matter is of great importance. Xun'er needs to understand the situation more comprehensively so that she can be more confident when negotiating with the elders of the clan."
"Moreover, Xun'er also wants to personally experience Senior Yao Chen's character and conduct to see if he is really as trustworthy and reliable as Brother Xiao Ling said."
Xiao Ling smiled and replied, "Of course there is no problem. When the right time comes, I will arrange for you to meet. Xun'er, don't worry. Senior Yao Chen's character is definitely trustworthy."
After receiving Xiao Ling's affirmative reply, Xiao Xun'er nodded and responded: "After Xun'er meets Senior Yao Chen, if it is really as Brother Xiao Ling said, when Xun'er returns to the Ancient Clan, she will inform the elders of Brother Xiao Ling's needs. I think as long as Xun'er asks, they should agree to Brother Xiao Ling's request."
According to Xiao Xun'er's idea, it would be more than enough to exchange the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade in the Xiao family's hands for a Dou Sheng body and a ninth-level magic beast's blood essence. If we really calculate it by value, the Ancient Clan will definitely gain more in this transaction.
If Xiao Ling went to discuss with the elders of the ancient clan himself, he would naturally not be able to get their permission. After all, Xiao Ling is too weak now and is not qualified to negotiate a deal with the ancient clan.
However, with the eldest lady of the ancient clan asking for help from Xiao Ling, it naturally would not be a difficult task to reach a deal between the two parties.
After receiving Xiao Xun'er's affirmative answer, Xiao Ling showed some joy on his face and said, "Thank you very much, Xun'er."
Xiao Xun'er smiled gently, and that smile was as bright as the warm spring sun: "Brother Xiao Ling, you don't have to be polite, it's just a small favor, but do you really need those materials, Brother Xiao Ling? If you need them urgently, Xun'er will go back to the ancient clan and help Brother Xiao Ling get those materials."
Xiao Ling shook his head slightly, waved his hand, and said: "I don't need those things at the moment, so there's no need to give them to me in such a hurry."
Now that he is in the northwest continent, relying on his own strength, he basically won't encounter any danger.
If something unexpected really happened and I offended those Dou Zun powerful masters in the northwest continent, I would use the heavenly super fighting skill "Ghost Possessed" and it should not be a big problem to deal with some ordinary Dou Zun.
After hearing Xiao Ling's reply, Xiao Xun'er felt a little relieved. If Xiao Ling urgently needed to use those materials, she would definitely rush back to the ancient clan to help him get them.
But it has come to that point, without the reason to look for the Tushe Ancient Emperor Jade, it is not easy for me to leave the ancient clan for a long time.
"In that case, Xun'er will stay with Brother Xiao Ling in Canaan College first." Xiao Xun'er's face was filled with a sweet smile, and her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness and joy. "This way, I can always take care of Brother Xiao Ling and experience all kinds of interesting things in the college together."
Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Xun'er's charming appearance, and his heart couldn't help but warm up. He gently rubbed her head and said, "It's great to have Xun'er by my side."
At this time, the evening breeze blew, blowing up the corners of their clothes, and the picture was warm and beautiful.
Xiao Xun'er raised her head slightly and said playfully, "Then Brother Xiao Ling, please don't find Xun'er annoying."
Xiao Ling smiled cheerfully: "How could that be? With Xun'er by my side, every day will be filled with joy."
……
On the other side, inside Han Yue's courtyard, in the bathroom.
Han Yue slowly stretched out her jade feet and gently touched the water in the pool, carefully adjusting to the water temperature. After confirming that it was suitable, she stepped lightly into the water. The rolling mountains and the clear, gurgling water have always been a perfect match. It is no wonder that men have always been fond of landscape paintings and are even more keen on traveling and experiencing the beauty and magic of nature.
The pure white snow-capped mountains are like a noble fairy, standing quietly between heaven and earth.
In that world covered in silver, a bright red spot is particularly eye-catching. It is a blooming plum blossom, standing proudly in the biting cold wind.
Han Yue's gaze fell on that bit of bright red, and her eyes revealed a hint of shyness and charm.
Han Yue gently touched it with her fingers, feeling the slight bulge and delicate touch, and ripples appeared in her heart.
The air was filled with warm steam, and Han Yue's skin was glowing with a charming blush, and that bit of blush seemed even more alluring in this hazy state.
At this moment, Xiao Ling's face suddenly appeared in Han Yue's mind.
The handsome eyebrows, upright posture, and gentle and friendly smile made Han Yue's heart beat faster.
Imagine Xiao Ling's hands gently caressing her body, like a spring breeze blowing over flowers, bringing waves of numbness and desire.
Han Yue's breathing became rapid, and her hands involuntarily wandered along her curves, as if Xiao Ling was by her side, hugging her intimately.
Biting her lips, she immersed herself in this fantastic and charming atmosphere, her face full of intoxication and confusion.
Han Yue's thoughts drifted further and further away. She seemed to be able to feel Xiao Ling's hot breath spraying on her neck, and that gentle whisper echoing in her ears.
Her body grew hotter and hotter, and in this steamy bathroom, she was completely lost in her fantasy of Xiao Ling.
However, a gust of cool breeze blew by, bringing Han Yue back to her senses.
Realizing her own reverie, Han Yue's face instantly turned a deeper blush, and she felt both shyness and unspeakable sweetness in her heart.
Han Yue sighed lightly, stood up and left the pool, wrapped herself in a bath towel, and tried to calm her still rapid heartbeat.
But Xiao Ling's figure seemed to be imprinted in my heart and could not be erased.
Stepping into her room, Han Yue gently pulled open the curtains embroidered with elegant patterns and cast her gentle gaze toward the winding bluestone path outside the courtyard.
The gentle evening breeze blew slowly, lifting a few strands of silver-like hair.
Han Yue's eyes were filled with deep expectation and endless longing, as if the figure she longed for would appear on the bluestone path at any time.
Han Yue had already heard the news that Xiao Ling had returned to the inner courtyard, and she was waiting happily, but there was no sign of that familiar figure.
In fact, Han Yue could roughly guess in her heart that she was the only one left in this empty dormitory.
Before he learned the news that Xiao Ling had returned to the inner courtyard, Xiao Xun'er, who usually stayed in the dormitory, had disappeared long ago.
Presumably, Xiao Xun'er had received the news in advance that Xiao Ling had returned to the inner courtyard, and she couldn't wait to set off and arrive at Xiao Ling's side.
The two of them are together now. Even if he is eager to meet Xiao Ling as soon as possible, he is embarrassed to disturb Xiao Xun'er and Xiao Ling's reunion after a year.
With a sigh, Han Yue withdrew her gaze, drew the curtains, and lay sideways on the soft big bed.
……
Xiao Ling and Xiao Xun'er walked side by side on the path of the college. The moonlight was like water, gently sprinkling on the two of them, like a layer of gauze woven by the moon goddess.
Their laughter and chatter echoed in the quiet night, as if even the air around them was filled with sweetness.
Before they knew it, they arrived at the courtyard where Xiao Xun'er lived.
Xiao Ling stopped, looked at Xiao Xun'er tenderly, and said, "Xun'er, you've arrived. Have a good rest."
Xiao Xun'er nodded slightly, her watery eyes full of attachment and reluctance, and said softly: "Brother Xiao Ling, why don't you come in and rest for a while."
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Ling smiled and replied, "It's getting late, so I won't disturb you guys to rest."
Although he also missed Senior Sister Han Yue, it was not a good time now that Xun'er was still here.
"Okay, then Brother Xiao Ling should go to bed early, and Xun'er will go back first."
Xiao Xun'er turned around slowly, looking back every step until she walked into the door of the dormitory building.
Xiao Ling stood quietly downstairs, and only looked away when the door closed gently.
In the night breeze, Xiao Ling took a deep breath, as if he wanted to keep this moment of warmth and beauty in his heart.
Glancing at the courtyard in front of him, he saw that the lights in Han Yue's room had been turned off and there was no movement at all.
"Senior should be asleep, let's go see her tomorrow."
Afterwards, Xiao Ling walked in the moonlight, his figure gradually moving away and blending into the night.
