Bitter Realm: Otherworldly Gods and Demons

Chapter 138 I'll eat my hat if I can't extort you to death.

Upon entering the hall, they saw Nenglong sitting upright on the central couch, with a chair on each side, occupied by Dianyu Fenglian and Tengxie.

Shi Nenglong spoke calmly, "How should I address you, young hero?"

"Stop with the idle talk."

Shun declared that he would challenge everyone equally, waving his hand and saying, "My name is Shun. I have a drop of the Source of Immortality. In exchange, I'll give you a bottle of the Spring of Immortality. Will you trade?"

"Um?

Upon hearing this, the Grand Tutor was greatly surprised, and Shi Nenglong's eyes also flashed with a sharp light.

"Young Master Shun, how did you obtain the Source of Immortality?"

"I got it by extortion. I found Saloman and told her I could exchange the Fountain of Immortality for the Source of Immortality, and then asked her to give me a drop first."

"Ah, this—"

Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless—well, Teng Xie wasn't speechless, but his expression was timely and on point.

After a moment, Shi Nenglong finally processed the massive amount of information and said in a deep voice, "Saraman is indeed from the Hall of Longevity, but she actually agreed to give you a drop of the Source of Immortality first?"

"Actually, it was two drops. I beat her half to death, then made her give me the source of immortality. I used one drop for the experiment, and there was one drop left."

Then you still—Shi Nenglong discovered that, despite his extensive reading and profound knowledge, he couldn't find the right words to describe this eccentric young man.

"Give me a straight answer, whether you're going to exchange it or not."

"How can we verify that the immortality is real?"

Shun curled his lip and said, "So what if it's fake? Give me two bottles of the Fountain of Immortality, and I'll trade you a bottle of the Source of Immortality."

You've come here to do business, huh? No, we use your products, but you don't?

In an instant, one sentence awakened the吐槽 (tu cao, a Chinese internet slang term for sarcastic or critical comments) spirit in everyone present—Teng Xie completely let loose and went completely off the rails; even he himself wanted to吐槽 (tu cao) his own words.

"This is the rule of the Immortal City. The Immortal Spring cannot flow out. I can exchange it with you, young hero, but you must consume it immediately."

Shi Nenglong thought for a moment and felt that there must be a deeper reason for the sudden appearance of this young man. Fortunately, the Fountain of Immortality was almost inexhaustible. Even if the source of immortality was fake, or there was only one drop, it wouldn't be of much use. As long as this young man drank the Fountain of Immortality on the spot, giving him some would not be a problem.

"Okay, bring the divine spring."

As he spoke, Shun took out a porcelain bottle and tossed it to the Spirit Dragon, "Examine the aura of this drop of Undying Origin, and you should know that this thing has considerable value."

Shi Nenglong nodded, but simply put the porcelain bottle away. Whether the Undying Origin was real or fake, he was more interested in understanding Shun's situation.

Before long, Taifu brought a porcelain bottle and handed it to Shun. Shun immediately picked up the bottle, tilted his head back, and drank the Fountain of Immortality inside dry.

"ah."

Shun opened his mouth to show Shi Nenglong that he had really swallowed it. Shi Nenglong nodded and was about to speak when Shun waved his hand and turned into a stream of flames. He left behind only a "That's it, bye-bye" and disappeared in a flash before the sound was gone.

"this."

The group exchanged bewildered glances. After a moment, Shi Nenglong looked at Feng Lian and Teng Xie, asking, "What do you two think of this person?"

"Lord, I suspect there's something fishy about this person."

Feng Lian looked at Teng Xie and said, "Now that you've said that, what am I supposed to say?"

"Lord, this person must have other plans. He will definitely have more to do. We should just wait and see. The current issue is to see how things go on the leader's side."

Shi Nenglong nodded. "Then please go and inquire with the String Master, Feng Lian."

Leaving aside Feng Lian's side, she had just left the Immortal City and hadn't gone far when Cang came looking for her. Since Chi Yunran was alright, he naturally had to abide by the agreement and come to the Immortal City to help.

Shun, having left the City of Immortality, reached into his stomach, retrieved the spring of immortality he had drunk from, placed it in a porcelain bottle, and then went to Saloman's tent.

"What, what are you going to do?!"

Saloman's face was pale, clearly still recovering from her injuries. Upon seeing this fierce man, she was immediately startled.

"Stop talking nonsense, you useless woman, hurry up and call that old guy from last time out."

"You, you————"

"What do you mean 'you'? Are you going to yell or not? If you don't, I'll kill you."

"Your Excellency need not do this."

Saloman was both angry and frightened, and couldn't speak for a moment. She suddenly raised her hand, and a black mist suddenly gushed out of the crystal ball in front of her, transforming into the old woman from before.

"I am the venerable ancestral priest. Your return is surely due to obtaining the Fountain of Immortality?"

"That's right."

He instantly took out a porcelain bottle. "It's right here. Take out the Origin of Immortality."

The ancestral priest was immediately startled, thinking to himself, "Has the other party really obtained the Fountain of Immortality?"

"Your Excellency is truly extraordinary."

"Is there anyone in the Hall of Longevity who doesn't waste words? Call one over here."

The ancestral priest thought to himself, "Give me the chance, and I'll definitely teach you a lesson." — "May I examine you first?"

"First, bring out the Undying Source."

"this----"

"What is this? Are you going to take it or not? If you don't, I'll go outside the City of Immortality and block it right now. I'll investigate even a fly that flies out of the City of Immortality. Don't even think about letting another drop of the Fountain of Immortality be taken out."

Upon hearing this, the ancestral priest felt a wave of dizziness and thought to himself, "Did you grow up eating bandits? You're utterly wicked!"

The ancestral priest was so angry that he couldn't speak, but then he received a secret telepathic message. He immediately swallowed hard, took out a porcelain bottle, and handed it over, saying, "The source of immortality is here."

He quickly took the porcelain bottle, opened the stopper, looked at it, smelled it, and then tossed the bottle of the Fountain of Immortality over.

The ancestral priest caught the porcelain bottle and breathed a slight sigh of relief, only to hear the other person say, "You two both look like old hags. I suppose everyone in the Hall of Longevity is like you? If either of you drank from the Fountain of Immortality, would people not recognize you?"

Upon hearing this, the Ancestral Priest's heart sank. Saloman was young and beautiful, but it was just a magical disguise. The other party had actually seen through it.

"Looks like I guessed right."

Instantly, he curled his lips into a crooked smile. "Hey, if you don't want others to know you've obtained the Fountain of Immortality, give me another copy of the Source of Immortality."

"you!"

The ancestral priest was so angry he felt his nose was crooked, and he pointed a trembling finger at Shun, "You've gone too far!"

"Nonsense, if I had something on you, would I not use it to blackmail you? Do I look like a fool?"

"You, you————"

The ancestral priest finally understood a truth: what's more infuriating than an unreasonable scoundrel is a cunning and unreasonable scoundrel.

"What? Otherwise, give me back the Fountain of Immortality, and I'll pretend I was never here."

As he spoke, he put away the bottle of Immortal Origin and then beckoned to the Ancestral Priest.

The ancestral priest felt a tightness in his throat, as if he were about to vomit blood from anger. "Do you really think the Hall of Longevity will let you manipulate it?! You will regret it if you anger the Hall of Longevity!"

"Come on, I'm not afraid of you, I can join the Immortal City! Damn it, I'm going to the Immortal City right now and team up with them to wipe you out!"

""

After saying this, he turned and left. The ancestral priest had no choice but to suppress his anger with all his might and called out in a trembling voice, "Wait!"
