43: Chapter 43 Lin Ming's Disdain

"I ran into a few pieces of trash from the Blood Refining Sect on the way, so I slaughtered them while I was at it."

Lin Ming said indifferently.

"What is your purpose, Your Excellency?"

Li Wushu said.

Naturally, he could not fully believe Lin Ming's words.

After all, he knew nothing about the person before him; it was hard to guarantee that this wasn't someone from the Blood Refining Sect specifically disguised to deceive him.

However, the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb in his hand was something he desperately needed.

Since the other party appeared with the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb, there must be some purpose.

Although Li Wushu wanted to directly attack and snatch the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb back, he restrained himself.

If the other party happened to be a practitioner in the Nirvana Realm, then the one to die would be himself.

"Let's make a deal."

Lin Ming said.

"What deal?"

Li Wushu's heart sank as he spoke.

"The Heavenly Sun Determination Herb—you need it to achieve a Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm."

Lin Ming first shifted the attention to the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb.

"Besides, you don't have much time left, do you?"

Lin Ming said.

To this, Li Wushu remained silent.

The other party was right; his own lifespan was indeed running out. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so desperate to attempt a Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm.

Even though he didn't have much confidence in achieving a Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm.

"What are your terms, Your Excellency?"

Li Wushu asked again.

"A single Heavenly Sun Determination Herb will only increase your chances by one or two percent."

Lin Ming did not state his conditions immediately, but instead spoke to himself.

"If it were a nine-turn void-breaking pill, then it would be different."

The nine-turn void-breaking pill is one of the Medicinal Pills that can assist a practitioner in the Other Shore Realm to achieve a Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm.

And the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb happens to be one of the main Materials for the nine-turn void-breaking pill.

"Your Excellency can refine the nine-turn void-breaking pill?!"

Li Wushu's heart trembled as he hurriedly asked.

That is the nine-turn void-breaking pill, a seventh-tier Medicinal Pill; it is not something just anyone can refine.

When Li Wushu obtained the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb, he had thought about the nine-turn void-breaking pill, but once he considered the other Materials for the nine-turn void-breaking pill, as well as the Alchemist capable of refining it, he gave up.

Yet the person before him had actually mentioned the nine-turn void-breaking pill, which made Li Wushu's heart instantly chaotic.

One must know that if he had the assistance of the nine-turn void-breaking pill, his chances of achieving a Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm could increase to fifty percent.

"What are your terms, Your Excellency?"

Li Wushu calmed his emotions and asked again.

"Origin Stones."

Lin Ming slowly spat out these two words.

"Origin Stones?"

Li Wushu doubted whether he had misheard.

The other party only wanted Origin Stones.

He had even prepared himself for the other party to demand terms like betraying Yuanxu Mountain or serving them for many years.

As a result, he was told that only Origin Stones were needed?

Suddenly, a chill surged into his heart.

Without him knowing when, Lin Ming had appeared behind him and patted him on the shoulder.

Regarding this, he had actually not noticed at all.

Nirvana Realm, the other party was definitely a powerhouse in the Nirvana Realm.

Li Wushu could be one hundred percent certain of this point now.

"Apart from Origin Stones, you possess nothing that I want."

Lin Ming returned to his original spot and said without hiding his disdain.

Showcasing his own strength to let the other party recognize their own position.

This was enough.

In this Great Yan Dynasty, there was nothing Lin Ming wanted, except for Origin Stones.

Otherwise, Lin Ming would not have come out to make this deal with Li Wushu.

It just so happened that in his spirit herb garden, he had the other Materials for the nine-turn void-breaking pill, besides the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb.

"Five years. In five years, I will bring the nine-turn void-breaking pill over. It depends on whether you can prepare enough Origin Stones."

As for why it would take five years, aside from the time for the other party to prepare the Origin Stones.

On the other hand, it was because of the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb itself; these guys knew nothing about the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb and were too rough with it, causing some of the medicinal power of the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb itself to be lost.

This required Lin Ming to spend some time making up for the lost medicinal power of the Heavenly Sun Determination Herb; otherwise, the quality of the refined Medicinal Pill would decrease.

As his voice fell, Lin Ming's figure disappeared from the room.

"Five years, Origin Stones."

Li Wushu's expression gradually became firm.

The other party was right; with their strength, wanting to kill him or destroy the Great Yan Dynasty would be an easy matter.

Moreover, the fact that the other party brought out the nine-turn void-breaking pill had indeed tempted him.

He needed the nine-turn void-breaking pill.

But at the same time, Li Wushu would not completely trust the other party.

...

Five years.

It all depends on the sincerity of this Old Ancestor of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Lin Ming returned to his room in the Demon Suppression Division.

This trip to the Great Yan Dynasty was indeed a bit troublesome.

But fortunately, it was not without gains.

The next day.

Lin Ming and his group boarded the spirit boat and set off on the journey back to Yuanxu Mountain.

On the spirit boat, Lin Ming sat somewhat comfortably, enjoying the scenery along the way.

This time, with the True Monarch of the Other Shore presiding, there surely wouldn't be any blind fools coming to attack them.

If there were, then one could only say that the person was unlucky and was actively seeking death.

"Senior Brother Lin."

Fang Jinchen walked to Lin Ming's side and took the initiative to greet him.

"Is there something, Junior Brother Fang?"

Lin Ming looked at this usually serious Junior Brother and said.

"I heard that Senior Brother has comprehended Sword Intent."

Fang Jinchen said.

"Where did you hear that from?"

Lin Ming asked in surprise.

Wait.

Hidden Sword Peak.

It wouldn't be that girl Yu Yaoqin, would it?

There were only a few people who knew he had Sword Intent.

"I heard Senior Sister Yu mention it inadvertently."

Fang Jinchen admitted.

Inadvertently mentioned?

After hearing this, the corner of Lin Ming's mouth twitched slightly.

What a good "inadvertent mention."

It is estimated that this news has already spread throughout Hidden Sword Peak.

However, it is just comprehending Sword Intent.

It is not a rare thing; after all, there are not a few practitioners in that place, Hidden Sword Peak, who have comprehended Sword Intent.

"Senior Brother Lin, after returning to the Sect, please offer me your guidance."

Fang Jinchen directly issued a challenge.

The Senior Brother of Zichen Peak, the only Disciple of True Monarch Yunhua, had never fought in any formal occasion within the Sect.

Now, Fang Jinchen also wanted to test the strength of this Senior Brother of Zichen Peak, especially after this mission; his desire had become even stronger.

A challenge?

Lin Ming was still a bit surprised by this request.

Just because he had comprehended Sword Intent, he wanted to fight him.

However, thinking about it, it was not strange.

After all, the other party was a Sword Cultivator from Hidden Sword Peak; when it comes to which Disciples in the Sect are the most combative, it is undoubtedly the Disciples of Hidden Sword Peak.

These Sword Cultivators love fighting the most.

Sparring between Disciples of the same peak, sparring with Disciples of other peaks, and the reputation of Yuanxu Mountain abroad.

It is the Disciples of Hidden Sword Peak who are the most intense about this.

Now, a Disciple of Hidden Sword Peak had come looking for him.
