Chapter 197: Another Deal

"Only Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3?"

Jin Qiao'er frowned as she muttered with dissatisfaction. Then, she replied to Wei Suo, "As long as you act according to my words, I will naturally bestow great benefits to you. 200,000 low grade spiritual stones is nothing."

"Act according to your words?"

"Why, do you think that with my current state, I will be carrying 200,000 low grade spiritual stones at all times? If you want those stones, you naturally have to heed my words and retrieve them with me." Jin Qiao'er announced with a tinge of mockery.

Wei Suo's expression instantly turned sullen.

He hadn't even said a single word, yet this Jin Qiao'er actually released a barrage of demands, as though he was an individual that would give up his life upon hearing 200,000 low grade spiritual stones and wholeheartedly obey her.
Not only did she adopt a cutting and harsh bearing, it seemed like he wouldn't receive the spiritual stones now but instead, sounded as if he had to commit to some sort of dangerous task first. This naturally caused Wei Suo to feel extremely unhappy.

"Hand me the Scarletwing Flame Devil's demonic dan-pellet." This time, Jin Qiao'er proactively adorned a robe and ordered Wei Suo commandingly.

Upon hearing her, Wei Suo immediately scoffed.
"You must be mistaken. This one only made a deal with Granny Jin, and not a slave that willingly does your bidding. Without the 200,000 low grade spiritual stones in my pocket, would I hand over the Scarletwing Flame Devil's demonic dan-pellet to you?"

"Didn't I just say, if you wish to receive the 200,000 spiritual stones, you need to act according to my words." Jin Qiao'er's expression changed as she demanded sternly.

"In accordance to you? If that's so, then prepare the 200,000 low grade spiritual stones and find me for the dan-pellet next time." Wei Suo sneered and continued,"Otherwise, wouldn't I be on the losing end? At least I will earn some spiritual stones by selling this Scarletwing Flame Devil's dan-pellet somewhere else."

"YOU!" Jin Qiao'er the recognized her situation and restrained her fury, before changing to a more gentle and persuasive tone.
"Fine, you can keep the Scarletwing Flame Devil's dan-pellet first. Let me tell you frankly, our Jin Clan definitely possesses 200,000 low grade spiritual stones, but such a massive sum is only stored in the treasury of our Jin Clan's ancestral hall. If you leave, I alone will be impossible to obtain the spiritual stones in exchange for the Scarletwing Flame Devil's demonic dan-pellet. If that happens, you'll only be scaring others by trying to sell the dan-pellet for a hundred thousand spiritual stones, you'll make a loss of tens of thousands of low grade spiritual stones. Make a choice, escort me to the ancestral hall and I will hand over 200,000 low grade spiritual stones to you. Only, the the Entrance Spirit Plate to the ancestral hall is with that old dog, Jin Shenxuan, you must bring me to deal with that old dog first."

Wei Suo expressionlessly inquired, "Who's Jin Shenxuan?"

"You haven't even investigated properly and yet you risk infiltrating our Jin Clan?" Jin Qiao'er's face was brimming with ridicule. "Jin Shenxuan is known as the Jin Clan's Fifth Uncle to other cultivators."

"Him?" Wei Suo's gaze flickered slightly and didn't bother bickering with this lamentably ugly lass. He shook his head and replied, "Jin Shenxuan possesses a Thought Division Stage level 1 cultivation, I don't have the confidence in dealing with him. Since that's the case, I think you should think of an alternative. Is there anything else of similar value that can be exchanged with this Scarletwing Flame Devil's demonic dan-pellet?"

"My granny actually found such a cowardly cultivator!" Jin Qiao'er immediately flared up and cursed. "Let me tell you, Jin Shenxuan is currently in closed door training to breakthrough to Thought Division Stage level 2. I possess a powerful artifact with me, in addition to the Rushing Thunder Mallet, as long as we can sneak in, we have a grand opportunity to slay him with a single strike."

"Didn't you just describe me as a coward, no?" Wei Suo scoffed. "I don't wish to commit to such a risky endeavour."

"Our Jin Clan's ancestral hall is worth much more than just 200,000 low grade spiritual stones." Jin Qiao'er's expression fluctuated again as she responded.
"As long as you assist me in slaying that wretched dog, Jin Shenxuan, I promise all the spiritual stones there will be yours. You can also have all that wretched dog's items, and I will leak two Jin Clan's Formation Arts to you."

"What kind of Formation Arts?" Wei Suo's heart was stirred.

'Gold Gate Stonehenge Formation, an illustory earth element formation array. Not only can it mislead one's vision, it also contains a certain offensive. Quinplate Cloudsea Formation, a spirit mist formation array that spans and covers several li. Your foes won't be able to see through the formation core, and looking out, it will seem as though nothing is hindering their path." Jin Qiao'er snobbishly declared.

"If you tell me about the two formation arrays first and have a plan to safely intrude Jin Shenxuan's secluded meditation area, I can hand over the Scarletwing Flame Devil's Demonic dan-pellet first. I will also accompany you to try your luck in killing Jin Shenxuan, and escort you to your ancestral hall." Wei Suo nodded after deliberating briefly. After all, he was bound by the death oath to Granny Jin. Even if he couldn't receive 200,000 low grade spiritual stones from Jin Qiao'er, he would actually still gift the dan-pellet to her before planning a way to plunder the treasures of Jin Villa.
The reason he was still negotiating with Jin Qiao'er, was because he couldn't acclimatize himself to viewing Jin Qiao'er's obnoxious but sharp demeanor. She was already lamentably ugly yet her personality was also repulsive, causing Wei Suo to pity her and show her some face. Furthermore, now that she mentioned about the two formation arrays, he was moved after learning of how suitable they were for his cavern abode.

"You think I would stupidly commit suicide with you? By saying that, I am obviously extremely confident of safely infiltrating that wretched old fart's meditation ground." Jin Qiao'er's voice was sharp and penetrating, truly matching of her harsh and unkind personality.
She then produced a cyan jade talisman and handed it to Wei Suo.
"It contains the Formation Arts for our Gold Gate Stonehenge Formation and the Quinplate Cloudsea Formation. Look if there's any issues, then hand me the Scarletwing Flame devil demonic dan-pellet and follow me to deal with that old dog."

Wei Suo emotionlessly scanned the talisman with his divine sense before nodding. Then, he produced the demonic dan-pellet from his Treasure Receiving Pocket and passed it to Jin Qiao'er.

After receiving the black demonic dan-pellet, Jin Qiao'er's eyes flickered.

She caught the round demonic dan-pellet and examined it before saying, "Bring me to another courtyard at the other side of the Ninesongs Bridge. I know a secret passageway that can lead to the vicinity of the old dog's Moonpick Pavilion. But there's a Heavenly Circuit Stage level 1 cultivator in charge of that courtyard, you need to devise a way to deal with him."

"You're referring to Zhang Wuya?" Wei Suo glanced at Jin Qiao'er. "He's currently immobilized inside his room."

Jin Qiao'er was rather stunned but directly cut to the chase. "Since that's the case, let's hurry." Proceeding from there, she grabbed a yellow jade talisman in his hand and flew up through the hole that Wei Suo entered from.

"You're fine with employing true energy?" The tailing Wei Suo raised his eyebrows in surprise while asking the skinny and crooked back Jin Qiao'er.
This was because when he had scanned with his Aura Determining Technique, he noticed her true energy was exceedingly weak and her divine seas were incredibly dim; seemingly incapable of casting abilities.

"Could it be you really think I'm bedridden?" Jin Qiao'er eyes glinted a little. "Although my longevity energy will undoubtedly be exhausted without the Scarletwing Flame Devil's demonic dan-pellet within 2-3 years, I haven't reached the extent of total disability in employing true energy. However, without disguising myself, would that old dog be at ease to dispatch a mere Zhang Wuya to guard me?"

Wei Suo's lips slanted as he remained silent. He wasn't really interested in the Jin Clan's civil war. Now that he had released the demonic dan-pellet to Jin Qiao'er, it was counted as having accomplished Granny Jin's task. The next on his list of worries was now merely if he could acquire that 200,000 low grade spiritual stones.

Ge! A light sound echoed as Wei Suo observed Jin Qiao'er activating the yellow jade talisman.

The yellow jade talisman didn't exuberate any radiance but instead caused her figure to turn transparent.

"Refraction Talisman." Wei Suo immediately deduced that the talisman could alter the lighting of her surroundings, and thus create a concealment effect.

Nonetheless, the talisman wasn't as effective as Wei Suo's Concealment robe, but allowed her to resemble a transparent crystal. It would be impossible to spot her from afar, but still discernible with a close up inspection.

Jin Qiao'er remained quiet after activating her skill talisman. Understanding that since Wei Suo was capable of entering, he naturally had the ability to leave; thus, she dashed through the Ninesongs Bridge and allowed him free reign of his actions.

It was indeed hard to obtain a favorable impression on this girl.

Wei Suo shook his head as he contemplated over the task of defeating Jin Clan's Fifth Uncle.
Wei Suo reckoned the Concealment robe wouldn't work in deceiving him or even Jin Qiao'er. After some hesitation, he still produced his Concealment robe and adorned it. However this time, he didn't utilize his Secret Concealment Art, but purposely released his aura to trick Jin Qiao'er into thinking that his robe could merely conceal one's figure.

Thump! Jin Qiao'er pushed through Zhang Wuya's room.

Wei Suo thought that the secret passageway was located in Zhang Wuya's room. To his surprise, Jin Qiao'er abruptly fished out a small dagger that was surging with black aura, and blatantly punctured it through Zhang Wuya's heart.

Zhang Wuya didn't even have a chance to convulse as his life force utterly drained away.

The small black dagger then flew back into Jin Qiao'er's hand. Not a single trail of blood streamed out from Zhang Wuya's wound.
After storing her dagger, she left the room and headed towards another room that was piled with random junk like flower pots.

Wei Suo immediately frowned. It seems that the secret passageway was located inside that junk room, yet Jin Qiao'er actually visited Zhang Wuya first just to murder him.
Wei Suo deemed such an action as completely unnecessary, but he could fathom that Jin Qiao'er's viciousness was absolutely not beneath most male cultivators.
