I am a mortal who has achieved enlightenment through burning my secrets

Chapter 213 Drama
Faced with Liuzu's eagerness, Xiao Wuji responded arrogantly and unhurriedly: "Di Xue is dead, if you need anything, burn some paper money!"

"Does Your Excellency know how important Earth Blood is to us?"

With the day of attacking the Styx River approaching, one of their teammates has been eliminated. If it weren't for the man's recent actions, Liuzu probably wouldn't have asked this question at all.

"The demon kings take turns sitting on the throne, and this year it's my turn!"

Faced with the six-legged creature's questioning, Xiao Wuji grinned and said, "No matter what you're plotting, I can do what Earth Blood can do, and I can also do what Earth Blood can't do! As long as you can afford the price!"

Before Liuzu could get angry, Mu Qing asked, "Oh? So, fellow Daoist, you are also proficient in puppetry?"

"Puppetry is just a minor skill. As long as I have enough materials, I can mass-produce puppets like the one I just saw!"

Xiao Wuji was not exaggerating. Among the many great divine abilities he possessed, there were the Great Refining Treasure Technique and the Great Puppet Technique.

Although he had never cultivated, as long as he comprehended it, he could use his magic power to simulate some of the divine power, just like Fang Han used the Wood Emperor True Qi to simulate the Great Slicing Technique.

Even if it's only one or two tenths of its power, it's enough for Xiao Wuji to create many powerful puppets, but all of this depends on having enough materials.

"Then how long would it take, and what price would it cost, for you to craft a puppet like the one just now?" Madam Lan asked before Mu Qing and Liu Zu could.

Xiao Wuji said with an unchanged expression, "It's easy. As long as you can gather the materials, I can refine it within a year. As for the price, all I need is the corpses of two powerful individuals of equal strength to yours."

Madam Lan paused for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist, you jest. There aren't that many powerful figures in this Abyss for us to kill!"

"That's your business!"

Xiao Wuji feigned impatience, picked at his ear with his little finger, and said, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now!"

Seeing how disrespectful this person was to him, Liuzu became even angrier.

"Leave? You killed our friends, and now you're not giving us an explanation? Do you think you can just walk away like this?"

"Explain?"

Xiao Wuji gave the six-legged creature a sharp look and said in a stern voice:
“In the past, it was always others who gave me instructions or asked me for instructions; you’re the first one!”

"Could it be that you also want to try my Destruction Lotus?"

Having said that, Xiao Wuji raised his hand and summoned a cluster of black and white flames, the threat in which it was all too obvious.

"you……"

Before Liuzu could finish speaking, Mu Qing hurriedly transmitted his voice, "Fellow Daoist Liuzu, don't be anxious. Di Xue is already dead, and it will be useless to provoke him further now. Why not try to make him work for us!"

"With him around, things might be a little easier for us!"

The three of them didn't have a good relationship with Earth Blood to begin with. If it weren't for the Styx Spirit Milk, they wouldn't have "united" together. Even so, each of them had their own ulterior motives. Under such circumstances, how could any of them really risk their lives for someone else?

As expected, after hearing Mu Qing's words, Liu Zu stopped talking and left the space to the others.

"I would like to ask you to help me retrieve two items from the River Styx. I wonder what kind of price I will have to pay?"

"The River Styx?"

Xiao Wuji feigned surprise and said:

"You wouldn't be after the Styx Spirit Milk and the Demon Tomb, would you?!"

Upon hearing Xiao Wuji's words, the expressions of the group changed several times. Liuzu, with a particularly enigmatic look, said, "You seem to know quite a lot!" Xiao Wuji first glared at Liuzu, then turned to the other two and said:

"The Styx Spirit Milk is relatively easy to obtain; with your strength, you might actually be able to get it!"

"But you dare to covet that demonic tomb? You really have a death wish!"

Mu Qing feigned ignorance and said, "What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist? As far as I know, although the demonic artifacts in that demonic tomb have developed sentience, their strength is not enough to threaten us!"

"An elder of my clan is currently in seclusion in the River Styx. I just came out from there not long ago!"

Xiao Wuji pondered and said, "I heard that senior mention that there is a demonic artifact in the Demon Tomb that devoured the other demonic artifacts and cultivated an unparalleled demonic body. Even he found it troublesome."

Mu Qing pondered for a moment, then continued to ask, "What price will we have to pay to help us obtain the Styx Spirit Milk?"

"Easy to say..."

Xiao Wuji's gaze swept over several key parts of Mu Qing's body, and he said with a wicked smile, "Just give me your virginity!"

"impossible!"

Mu Qing's reaction was exceptionally intense; her flushed face and heaving chest reflected the turmoil in her heart.

"Then there's nothing we can do. You see, that Styx Spirit Milk is guarded by many of this Six-Legged Brother's kin!"

"You agree, right, Brother Six-Legged!"

Xiao Wuji's eyes flashed with lightning, and the provocation in his words was all too obvious.

Before Liu Zu could speak, Mu Qing and Madam Lan were the first to attack, sternly questioning Liu Zu in unison: "Fellow clansmen? Shouldn't Brother Liu Zu give us an explanation?"

Liu Zu glanced back at the two of them. For some reason, he felt that something was off about them. In the past, the two of them had the worst relationship, but today they were cooperating too well, as if they had planned it in advance.

But after much thought, he couldn't find any reason why the two had done this, and could only temporarily categorize this unusual situation as a coincidence. So he said in a deep voice:
"I'm also very curious to know what this fellow Daoist meant by that!"

"Furthermore, do you two fellow Daoists prefer to believe the words of an outsider rather than trust me?"

Madam Lan spoke first, saying, "Brother Six-Legged, what are you saying? It's just that neither of us has ever seen your true form, so we'd rather believe what you say than not!"

Although Mu Qing remained silent, her attitude was clear.

"His true form is a mayfly, and the Styx River is also the territory of the mayfly race. The Styx Spirit Milk is a treasure that the mayfly race has guarded for generations."

"If you want the Styx Spirit Milk, the Mayfly Clan can't bypass it!"

"If you really want that Styx Spirit Milk, you'd better ask me to help you out, otherwise you might get sold out and still be counting the money for the seller!"

Xiao Wuji continued to sow discord between the two sides, because he needed a plausible reason to join the treasure hunt. Only then could Liuzu take the lead.

He'll reap the benefits while bearing all the responsibility—it sounds amazing!

Of course, it doesn't matter if the six-legged creatures don't carry him. He only needs to use their help to enter the River Styx anyway, since he doesn't really care about the mayfly race.

He might even come here often to freeload in the future!
