Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 171—Those are my brothers, my dearest friends and family! I need to pay more!

Absorbing immortal treasures is not something that can be accomplished in a short time. Looking at Zhang Lexuan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, Qian Lingyun clapped her hands lightly and summoned several powerful death knights.

One group was responsible for watching over the unconscious Tang Ya, another group stayed behind to guard Zhang Lexuan, while she herself disappeared into the undead demiplane stepping on a gray six-pointed star.

Yes, she wanted to find Ning Tian, ​​this rich but foolish man, to make some extra money.

Back in Shrek City, the atmosphere was much more oppressive than it had been a few days before, with Shrek City garrison soldiers patrolling the streets.

Clearly, Zhang Lexuan's disappearance was not a trivial matter in the eyes of the Shrek Academy's higher-ups.

Just thinking about how, in the near future, the old man from Shrek Academy would be furious with Zhang Lexuan, whom he had carefully nurtured, dressed as a maid and obeying his every command, made her feel incredibly excited!

Thinking of this, Qian Lingyun felt an inexplicable sense of joy that grew even stronger; she absolutely loved this feeling…

With a simple disguise, Qian Lingyun's originally beautiful face was inexplicably marred by several hideous dark red scars.

Qian Lingyun knocked on the door of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School shop again, threw the sign in front of the shopkeeper, and said coldly, "Go find your Ning Tian and tell her that Yun-meimei has found what she's been longing for. Tell her to come over and we can talk about the deal."

"Yes." Realizing the importance of the matter, the shopkeeper dared not say more. He responded and left the shop. Before leaving, he did not forget to turn the wooden sign at the door over to reveal the three big characters "Closed for Business".

About an hour later, the tea on Qian Lingyun's table was refilled again and again. Finally, when the fourth pot was replaced, the person she was waiting for arrived.

Ning Tian pushed open the door and anxiously walked to Qian Lingyun's desk. When she saw the scars on Qian Lingyun's face, she was extremely surprised. For a moment, she even forgot what she was about to say.

"Long time no see!" Qian Lingyun looked up at Ning Tian with tender affection, her expression so affectionate that it was as if Ning Tian wasn't a living person, but a mountain of gold soul coins...

"Hmm, long time no see." Ning Tian nodded subconsciously, tapping his index finger lightly on the table, and tentatively asked, "Is the thing you're talking about the one we discussed before?"

"Otherwise what? I hope your price will satisfy me, otherwise it would be unfair to my sister and the long scar on my face!"

In front of acquaintances, Qian Lingyun started talking nonsense again.

"Your sister?! Bai Xue?" Ning Tian was slightly taken aback, pointed at Qian Lingyun and then at the ceiling, and exclaimed in surprise, "She..."

"That's right, for that thing you wanted, my sister... mmm..."

As she spoke, Qian Lingyun's beautiful pupils were already misty. Qian Renxue, far away in the Crown Prince's Palace of the Sun Moon Empire, sneezed for no apparent reason, looked at the sun in the sky with suspicion, and muttered to herself.

"Please accept my condolences..." Ning Tian put her hand on Qian Lingyun's shoulder to comfort her, but Qian Lingyun looked up and grabbed her hand, saying indignantly, "Whether you accept my condolences or not is not important, what is important is..."

"That's my sister, my sibling, my dearest friend and family!"

"You need to pay more!"

"Ah! You...!" Ning Tian was stunned. She looked at Qian Lingyun's tearful face and realized she didn't seem to be lying, but... what she said could indeed shock her for years to come.

After a long pause, Ning Tiancai sighed with mixed feelings, "You really are a good younger sister, using your older sister to drive up the price..."

"I don't want this either! But I'm terrified of being poor! Only gold soul coins can give me a sense of security living alone and destitute..."

Qian Lingyun was rambling on when Ning Tian stopped her with a raised hand. She cut to the chase, extending her palm and saying, word by word, "The money is negotiable, but I need to inspect the goods first."

"Sure, but there are too many people around here," Qian Lingyun smiled slightly and took out a small jade box from her storage soul tool, inside which was the immortal plant called Star Luo Spirit Pearl.

"You all get out." Ning Tian stared at the jade box in Qian Lingyun's hand, her breathing becoming rapid. She waved for everyone in the room to leave, and soon only Qian Lingyun and Ning Tian remained in the house.

"That's enough, now it's just the two of us," Ning Tian said urgently, pointing to the jade box.

"Alright, please look! This is a celestial item, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl!"

As she spoke, Qian Lingyun suddenly opened the box, revealing the immortal herb inside.

The Star Luo Spirit Pearl is a very beautiful spiritual object. The branches of this Star Luo Spirit Pearl are black, which is very rare among plants, but at the top grows a golden fruit as big as a palm. This golden fruit is as bright as a huge pearl, but if you look closely, you will find that the gold is actually made up of thousands of golden light spots, which is very peculiar.

"This is..." Ning Tian stood up in surprise, leaning forward to touch the celestial herb, but Qian Lingyun closed the jade box and called out gently, "Well, now that you've seen the goods, it's time to talk about the price!"

"The thing I brought is called the Star Luo Spirit Pearl. It is the gentlest of all immortal-grade spiritual medicines and the easiest to get along with humans. After fusing with humans, it can become the soul core of human soul masters in the future."

After speaking, Qian Lingyun picked up the jade box and placed it in front of her. She rested her chin on the jade box, met Ning Tian's eager gaze, and said, "This spiritual treasure can not only increase cultivation, but also purify bloodline and enhance potential. With it, you can not only break through the limitation of the seventh level of your martial soul, but also make it more convenient when you break through to the ninth ring in the future."

"How much are you asking for?" Ning Tian asked, unable to hide his excitement, his voice trembling involuntarily.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has spent countless resources and exhausted all means to achieve its ambitious goals, which are now within reach. All that's needed is a price.

"Don't rush, I have something else to say."

"Go ahead," Ning Tian said dismissively, swallowing hard, his gaze fixed on the jade box, refusing to look away for even a moment.

"This Star Luo Spirit Pearl is only the second most suitable immortal item for your martial soul. The most suitable immortal item for you is called the Qi Luo Tulip, which is elegant and luxurious. Consuming it will allow you to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and the radiance of the sun and moon. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda itself belongs to the treasure-type martial soul. If you absorb it, it will definitely evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"Hmm!" Ning Tian took a while to come to his senses, then asked in confusion, "Then why didn't you take the Qiluo Tulip?"

"Because I can only sell the Qiluo Tulip to you, but the Xingluo Spirit Pearl... I can sell it to others." Qian Lingyun explained with a very sincere shrug: "The most suitable martial soul for this immortal plant is the Star Crown Martial Soul of the Xingluo Royal Family."

"With it in hand, I can exchange it for wealth and glory in the Star Luo Empire at any time. If you weren't my classmate, I wouldn't have come to you."

"So, all that talk was just to drive up the price!" Ning Tian's face darkened, and his gaze toward Qian Lingyun became somewhat unfriendly.

"Ara, I advise you not to think about anything bad. The fact that I dared to bring it here means that I am confident that I can take it or the money with me."

"I may not be very skilled, but... I can still destroy a medicinal herb in a single breath."

After speaking, Qian Lingyun opened the jade box again and softly stated her price: "One hundred and fifty million gold soul coins. If you can afford it, I'll give it to you. If you can't, I'll go to the Star Luo Empire. I heard... they have a princess named Xu Jiujiu, right? She has good talent and would definitely be happy to buy it..."
