Chapter 347 A calculated scheme! Half a scroll of the Emperor's Scripture as bait? Lin Mo: It's so tempting!

After handing the Yaochi Token to Lin Mo, the thought of retreating arose in Luo Lingxi's heart.

She knew very well that the current situation was now completely clear.

Facing Burning Heaven Holy Venerable, who had likely stepped into the Quasi-Emperor Realm and possessed a domineering personality, their Yaochi Holy Land had truly suffered a setback this time.

Since there was no hope of snatching him away, continuing to stay in the Shengyang Prefecture territory was not only meaningless but might also invite unnecessary trouble due to the previous conflict.

Thinking of this, Luo Lingxi no longer hesitated. She bowed slightly toward the Phoenix Phantom in mid-air and spoke in a respectful tone:

"Senior Burning Heaven, Young Master Lin."

"Since the matter here is settled, this Junior and Aunt Shui have important business to attend to. We will not disturb you further and shall take our leave now."

Having said that, she gave Shui Yunqing a look, and the two turned, intending to tear through the Void Realm and depart.

However.

Just as they had turned around.

"Wait!"

"Did this Saint say... you could leave?"

Huang Feiyan's cold voice suddenly exploded between heaven and earth.

An invisible, terrifying aura instantly locked onto the two of them, causing Luo Lingxi and Shui Yunqing's movements to stiffen abruptly, forcing them to stop in their tracks.

Shui Yunqing's Face turned pale, and she secretly lamented in her heart.

This female Devil Head really isn't easy to talk to!

Although Luo Lingxi's heart also sank, she forced herself to remain calm. She turned around and asked respectfully, bracing herself:

"May I ask... what further instructions Senior Burning Heaven has?"

"Instructions?"

The Phoenix Phantom swayed slightly, and within those burning Phoenix eyes, there was a hint of coldness.

"You from Yaochi came to this Saint's territory to openly poach from me, even wanting to kidnap the Disciple this Saint has already designated."

"Now that you've failed, you want to just pat your butts and leave?"

"How can there be such a cheap deal in this world!"

Huang Feiyan's voice suddenly rose, carrying an unquestionable majesty.

"Where is the explanation this Saint demanded?"

"Did you... forget?"

"An explanation?"

Luo Lingxi was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized.

How was this asking for an explanation?

This was clearly an excuse to extort them, wanting to make them pay a heavy price as a penalty for their offense!

Although helpless and unwilling, looking at the menacing Phoenix Phantom above her head, Luo Lingxi understood that the situation was beyond her control.

If she didn't produce some "toll money" to satisfy this person today, they would likely find it difficult to leave this place unscathed.

Shui Yunqing on the side clearly understood this as well, but she kept her mouth shut, not daring to say much.

When a Quasi-Emperor asks for something, who would dare not give it?

Only...

What exactly should they give to satisfy the appetite of Burning Heaven Holy Venerable?

Ordinary Spirit Stones or Magic Treasures? As the Holy Land's First Grand Elder, she would certainly look down on them.

If the gift was too meager, not only would it lose Yaochi's Face, but it might even provoke the other party again.

Shui Yunqing fell into deep conflict.

Meanwhile, Luo Lingxi's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she fell into deep thought.

Her gaze lingered on Lin Mo for a moment as she rapidly weighed the pros and cons in her mind.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up as if she had thought of a brilliant idea.

"Senior Burning Heaven, this Junior understands."

Luo Lingxi looked up, her Face regaining its composure.

"Ordinary Heaven And Earth Treasures must surely be beneath Senior's notice."

"In that case..."

She took a deep breath and spoke words that shocked everyone.

"How about this: on behalf of Yaochi, I will gift half a volume of the 'Taiyin Profound Soul Scripture' to Young Master Lin as an apology. What does Senior think?"

"What?!"

"'Taiyin Profound Soul Scripture'?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, before Lin Mo could react, Shui Yunqing beside her was startled and cried out in shock.

"Saintess! You mustn't!"

"That is one of the most core Supreme Emperor Scriptures in our Yaochi Legacy!"

"How can it be easily passed to outsiders?!"

Shui Yunqing was extremely anxious.

The Emperor Scriptures of the major Holy Lands are their lifeblood and absolute foundation!

No one but core Personal Disciples may Cultivate them, let alone giving them to outsiders!

If Lin Mo had agreed to join Yaochi, giving it to him would naturally be beyond reproach, and even highly desirable.

But the problem is...

Lin Mo is currently a member of the Yanyang Holy Land!

What kind of logic is it to give one's own Emperor Scripture to another's Disciple? Isn't that the same as aiding the enemy?

"Aunt Shui, trust me!"

Facing Shui Yunqing's obstruction, Luo Lingxi did not waver in the slightest.

She turned and gave Shui Yunqing a firm look without offering much explanation.

Seeing this, although Shui Yunqing still had doubts, she could only sigh helplessly and say no more.

After all, for this trip, the Old Ancestor had stated beforehand that everything was to be led by the Saintess.

As a Dao Protector, she was only responsible for safety and had no right to interfere with the Saintess's decisions.

"Oh?"

"'Taiyin Profound Soul Scripture'?"

Hearing this name, the Phoenix Phantom in the air paused slightly.

Immediately after, Huang Feiyan's playful laughter rang out.

"Hahaha!"

"Good! What a Yaochi Saintess!"

"You little girl certainly know how to scheme!"

What kind of person was Huang Feiyan?

She saw through Luo Lingxi's real intention behind this seemingly "heavy loss" at a single glance.

"What?"

"Are you trying to use this half-volume of an Emperor Scripture to plant a seed for poaching from me in the future?"

Huang Feiyan ruthlessly exposed Luo Lingxi's little scheme and let out a sneer.

"Senior Burning Heaven must be joking."

Despite her thoughts being exposed, Luo Lingxi did not panic. She simply smiled slightly and spoke in a manner that was neither humble nor arrogant:

"This Junior simply feels that since Young Master Lin possesses a Taiyin Sacred Body rare in all eternity, it would be a terrible waste if he didn't have a matching Emperor Scripture to Cultivate."

"In all the world, only our Yaochi's 'Taiyin Profound Soul Scripture' is the most suitable Cultivation Technique for him."

"Giving this half-volume of an Emperor Scripture to Young Master Lin is merely to forge a good relationship."

Her words were high-sounding and airtight.

"Enough, don't give this Saint that nonsense."

Huang Feiyan snorted coldly.

"Since it's to forge a good relationship, why only give half a volume?"

"Don't hold back anymore. If you're going to give it, then present the entire volume!"

"Then this Saint might actually think more highly of you!"

"..."

Hearing this, the smile on Luo Lingxi's Face instantly froze.

The entire volume?!

This Burning Heaven Holy Venerable... is really being far too greedy.

Half a volume was already the greatest concession she could make within her authority.

If she really gave away the entire Emperor Scripture, her position as Saintess would likely come to an end once she returned!

"Senior Burning Heaven..."

Luo Lingxi's expression was strained, then she put on a pitiful look and began to play the victim.

"The 'Taiyin Profound Soul Scripture' is one of the foundations of our Yaochi's establishment."

"Leaking the entire volume is simply impossible."

"Being able to offer this half-volume is already the greatest sincerity Lingxi can provide, even at the risk of being punished upon my return!"

"I beg Senior Burning Heaven to be merciful and stop making things difficult for this Junior..."

Seeing this stunning Saintess looking as if she were about to burst into tears,

any ordinary person would likely have softened their heart long ago.

But Huang Feiyan clearly didn't fall for it.

However, she also knew that trying to extort someone's complete Emperor Scripture all at once was indeed unrealistic.

Being able to obtain half a volume was actually an unexpected surprise.

"Tsk, fine."

"Since you, little girl, are somewhat pleasing to the eye."

"This Saint will give you some Face today and stop making things difficult for you."

"Alright, bring the item over!"

Huang Feiyan spoke indifferently, accepting this compensation plan.

"Thank you, Senior Burning Heaven!"

Hearing Huang Feiyan finally relent, Luo Lingxi breathed a long sigh of relief, and a look of joy immediately appeared on her Face.

Although giving away half a volume of an Emperor Scripture was painful, as long as the matter could be resolved peacefully,

and plant that "hook" in Lin Mo's heart, then it would all be worth it!

She without hesitation took out an ancient Jade Slip emitting a chilly aura from her storage ring.

Then, in front of everyone, she solemnly handed it to Lin Mo.

"Young Master Lin."

"This is the half-volume of the 'Taiyin Profound Soul Scripture'."

"It was created by an Old Ancestor of our Yaochi who proved the dao and became an Emperor with the Taiyin Sacred Body; its power is infinite."

"I hope it will be of help to you!"

Having said that, she gave Lin Mo a deep look, and her tone became a bit more serious.

"By the way... this is a secret of our Yaochi that is not to be shared."

"Please promise me, Young Master Lin, that you will never spread it to others!"

"Alright!"

"Please rest assured, Young Miss Luo!"

Gripping the cold Jade Slip tightly in his hand, Lin Mo nodded heavily to Luo Lingxi with a solemn expression.

"I, Lin, guarantee with my character that I will never spread it!"

At this moment, although Lin Mo appeared extremely calm on the surface, he was actually blooming with joy inside.

He had originally been worried about where to find a suitable Cultivation Technique for Shen Qingyi after her Taiyin Sacred Body Awakening.

As it turned out, someone delivered a pillow just as he was nodding off!

This 'Taiyin Profound Soul Scripture' is practically tailor-made for Shen Qingyi!

Although it's only half a volume...

it's still a genuine Emperor Scripture!

It's enough for Shen Qingyi to Cultivate for a long time!

As for what to do later?

That's a matter for the future!

Of course, Lin Mo wasn't stupid.

He naturally saw that Luo Lingxi's gift of this half-volume of an Emperor Scripture was actually her own little calculation, wanting to use the subsequent techniques to bait him.

But would he care?

He didn't care at all!

As long as the item is real, who cares what schemes you have?

Anyway, at most, Luo Lingxi was plotting for his Taiyin Sacred Body; she wouldn't go as far as to frame him.

Isn't it just a sugar-coated bullet...

Just eat the sugar coating and throw the bullet back!

All in all...

This time, he's made a huge profit again!
