My Mysterious Left Hand

"Does the senior think it's possible?"

Li Chen said without changing his expression, "These people forcibly broke into our territory and caused heavy casualties to our side. Releasing them is impossible."

He still wants to keep the gathering attribute.

"State your conditions. Release them so you can continue living and exploring here."

The golden beast said coldly, "Don't think I'm just scaring you. Some of the people you captured belong to very powerful forces. If you really anger them, the entire Bone Forbidden Land might be turned upside down. If they are willing to pay the price, they can still enter the forbidden land."

Everyone near the entrance to the passage immediately looked at Li Chen.

"If you can make any conditions..."

Just as Li Chen was about to make an outrageous demand, another figure suddenly emerged from the passageway.

"General..."

"It's Major General Han Ling."

The military leaders were immediately invigorated and saluted.

Li Chen discovered that he couldn't see through this person's cultivation level.

Clearly, the other party's cultivation level is at least at the eighth level of the mortal realm, and may even be at the peak of the mortal realm.

"Are there any monsters or spirits in this forbidden area?"

Major General Han Ling, who appeared to be around thirty years old, looked at the furry little beast above the golden clouds a kilometer away: "We've gathered some intelligence. You monsters and spirits must be the guardians of the Forbidden Land of Bones, right? What are you guarding? The inheritance?"

"The Watcher?" A thought struck Li Chen.

Golden clouds churned in the distance, and the mysterious little beast coldly said, "Mortal, this is not something you can ask. Be careful what you say."

"Don't threaten me. If you dared to make a move, you would have already done so."

Major General Han Ling said indifferently, "The gods and monsters within the forbidden area are forbidden from attacking humans who meet the conditions for inheritance; otherwise, great calamity will surely follow. Am I right?"

A kilometer away, the mysterious little beast narrowed its eyes slightly: "So what if it is? But if this god is willing to pay the price, I can crush you without any problem."

"I certainly believe that."

Major General Han Ling smiled slightly, looked around the crowd, and finally fixed his gaze on Li Chen.

"Greetings, General." Li Chen greeted him.

Major General Han Ling nodded slightly and asked, "What do you want?"

Li Chen was taken aback.

"We are outsiders after all, and it's not good to make enemies with everyone. Of course, it depends on your wishes; the military won't force you."

Major General Han Ling said, "But some particularly important people can be used to exchange for cultivation resources, which will be beneficial and harmless to you."

He paused, then added, "Feel free to state your conditions. The major powers in this world are far wealthier than you imagine."

Li Chen raised an eyebrow. In that case...

"I want a hundred sets of cultivation techniques similar to the 'Void Furnace Scripture,' the complete version, not just the mortal realm chapters," he said.

"Pfft..." Major General Han Ling almost spat out a mouthful of saliva.

"You're dreaming!"

The mysterious little beast in the distance instantly lost its guard, roaring, "What do you think the 'Void Furnace Scripture' is? It's a supreme inheritance! All the scriptures in this world that can compare to this technique don't even number a hundred!"

Even Major General Han Ling was speechless. He thought Li Chen was ignorant and would only want some cultivation resources, so he carefully added some conditions.

But Li Chen, on the contrary, immediately offered a hundred sets of supreme inheritances...

"There aren't even a hundred sets in the entire world?"

Li Chen was taken aback: "Really poor."

Listen to yourself, listen to what you're saying.

The little beast in the distance was furious and wished it could strangle the kid.

"Wait, kid, how do you know about the 'Void Furnace Scripture'?"

Suddenly, it seemed to realize something, and abruptly stood up straight, staring intently at Li Chen: "The first beam of inheritance, you triggered it? That's right, you happened to be nearby at the time... You obtained the mortal realm chapter of the Void Furnace Scripture?"

Upon hearing this, the Earth adventurers near the World Passage all suddenly realized what was happening.

"According to the locals, the Lesser Void Furnace Scripture is passed down to inner disciples of the Void Temple, while the Void Furnace Scripture is a transmission only accessible to direct disciples..."

"Holy crap, Brother Li is actually the one who triggered the first beam of inheritance?"

"No wonder Brother Li is so awesome, turns out the big boss was right beside him!"

All the Earth adventurers looked at Li Chen with shining eyes.

Major General Han Ling looked at Li Chen in surprise: "You obtained that supreme scripture inheritance?"

"Only the Mortal Realm chapter." Li Chen nodded, then shook his head.

The mysterious little beast a kilometer away was excited: "Boy, as long as you swear allegiance to the Void Temple, I will forgive and forget what happened before, and I will also give you a great opportunity to obtain the follow-up text of the Void Furnace Scripture."

Li Chen immediately understood that this mysterious little beast was probably guarding the inheritance site for the Void Temple.

Perhaps the other mysterious creatures in this wild forest are all guarding the heritage of this place.

This forest was very likely once the territory of the Void Temple.

Major General Han Ling cautioned, "This world has a god of communication who solves communication problems for all species, and a god of oaths. Oaths made in this world must be kept. Furthermore, we have no idea what kind of power the Void Temple is, so don't be misled by it."

"So, in this world, people can communicate even if they don't speak the same language because of the existence of a god of communication?"

Li Chen suddenly realized, and then smiled and said, "Don't worry, General, I'm not that easy to fool."

He looked again at the mysterious little beast a kilometer away: "It's impossible for me to swear an oath. If you want me to release the people, you'll have to exchange them for the follow-up text of the Void Furnace Scripture."

"You're just dreaming. The subsequent scriptures can only be passed down by passing a test, and even if I were willing, I couldn't provide them."

The mysterious little beast's attitude had noticeably improved; even the golden clouds had subsided: "You can change your terms, for example, have the forces behind those people provide you with a large amount of cultivation resources or something."

Li Chen wasn't very familiar with the cultivation resources in this world, so he looked at Major General Han Ling.

Major General Han Ling immediately understood and asked, "How many people did you arrest?"

"Only seven people can be released," Li Chen replied.

Because the others had attacked the base and had the blood of Earthlings on their hands.

These seven people were almost all captured during his subsequent pursuit.

The mysterious little beast in the distance could obviously hear their conversation, and quickly conjured thirteen figures in mid-air: "The others don't matter, but these thirteen people must be released. You can ask for more things, otherwise, not only you, but even we can't withstand it."

Li Chen looked at the thirteen people and found that almost all of them were young prodigies he had captured, including Ju Chongli.

Although those people are all severely disabled, they are not completely dead yet.

So he nodded to Major General Han Ling, indicating that these people could be released, but they needed sufficient cultivation resources.

Major General Han Ling nodded in understanding and immediately said loudly, "Have each of the forces behind these people bring out a complete scripture to support their reputation, plus 10,000 catties of source stones for each person."

A kilometer away, the mysterious little beast frowned: "The source stones should be fine, but those people might not agree to each family having a set of scriptures."

After all, any cultivation method that can be called a scripture is not something that comes out of the ordinary.

That's their problem.

Major General Han Ling said in a deep voice, "These prodigies provoked us first. At worst, we can abandon this passage and go back to our poor lives. But these young prodigies are of noble status. If their forces are unwilling to pay even this little bit, it only shows that they are not important enough."

Li Chen smiled slightly. Major General Han Ling's words were quite skillful. As expected, the military knew how to handle things.

"I am merely a messenger; well then, I will inquire for you."

The mysterious little beast withdrew all the golden clouds and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the darkness.

"General, may I ask what Originium is?" Li Chen asked curiously.

"Just call me Major General Han."

Major General Han Ling replied, "Source Stones are the common currency of this world, and also the main cultivation resource. They are similar to spirit stones in cultivation novels, containing a huge amount of pure energy. If we calculate by weight, one pound of Source Stones has the purchasing power of about one hundred million RMB on Earth."

"Pfft... One hundred million per kilogram?"

Li Chen stared in disbelief: "Those people... are so valuable!"

Could it be said that I unintentionally became a human trafficker?
