182: Chapter 182 Using the Void-Breaking Pill as Bait

The three of them looked at the items in their hands with eyes full of reluctance, but being under someone else's roof, they had to bow their heads and could only part with them painfully.

Just a moment ago, they were threatened with a Sword Talisman, and now they had to hand over treasures; this was a truly massive loss!

At this moment, the three of them hated Lang Xiaotian to the bone. If it hadn't been for his suggestion, they wouldn't have come here, and none of this would have happened.

Looking at the items before him, Ning Yuan signaled Tao Yao with his eyes to check them, lest any tricks had been played.

Tao Yao understood immediately. With a wave of her hand, she pulled the items toward her. After a careful inspection to confirm there were no issues, she felt at ease handing them over to Ning Yuan.

During this time, Bear Opens Mountain and the other two could only watch helplessly as the treasures that once belonged to them were pocketed by someone else.

"Ding! The host has obtained a Void Refining grade Cracked Bear Hide. After the hundredfold reward, you have obtained the eighth-grade leather armor, Earth-Cracking Armor!"

"Ding! The host has obtained a hundred catties of Monkey Wine. After the hundredfold reward, you have obtained ten thousand catties of Monkey Wine!"

"Ding! The host has obtained a Void Refining grade Blood Python inverse scale. After the hundredfold reward, you have obtained the eighth-grade inner armor, Blood Scale Armor!"

After putting the items away and hearing the notification in his mind, Ning Yuan couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile, and his gaze toward the three of them softened considerably.

Not bad, they are three fat sheep!

It seems they haven't reached their limit yet; I can find a way to keep fleecing them!

With a smile in his eyes, Ning Yuan said, "Mhm, I've received your sincerity and I'm very satisfied. We are friends from now on! If you have nothing else to do, you may leave!"

After hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but start cursing in their hearts. He accepted such valuable items just like that, without even a word of thanks, and now he was driving them away. Did he have to turn his back on them so quickly?

As for the 'friends' Ning Yuan mentioned, everyone knew very well that it was just a figure of speech; no one would believe it.

"Hehe, no rush, no rush!" Bear Opens Mountain said with a chuckle. Since he hadn't achieved his purpose for coming, how could he leave? He continued:

"Little friend has just arrived in the Nine Profound Realm and is not yet familiar with this place. Why don't we introduce it to you?"

Ning Yuan waved his hand with a lack of interest and said helplessly, "Sigh, what's there to introduce about a mere Small World? If I hadn't heard there was a spring of life here, I wouldn't have bothered coming. Only after arriving did I find out the spring of life had long since dried up. To think I even prepared a void breaking pill to exchange with you all, how disappointing!"

Hearing this, the three of them trembled. Had they heard correctly just now? Did they hear the words 'void breaking pill'? Bear Opens Mountain's eyes, in particular, flashed with a sharp light, his gaze becoming burning hot, though he quickly restrained himself.

"The void breaking pill you mentioned, is it the kind that can help someone Breakthrough to Void Refining?" Ape Fierce immediately couldn't sit still and asked with a face full of eagerness.

"Naturally! What, you want it? Sure, exchange it for the spring of life, but do you have any?" Ning Yuan glanced at Ape Fierce from the corner of his eye and spoke with disdain.

Having received the answer he wanted, Ape Fierce's eyes instantly shone brightly, but upon learning it had to be exchanged for the spring of life, he slumped into his chair like a deflated ball, shaking his head and sighing incessantly.

A void breaking pill can allow a Soul Transformation expert to Breakthrough to Void Refining; the temptation of this was self-evident!

Although they were already at the Void Refining stage and didn't need the void breaking pill themselves, there were people in their tribes who did. If they had a void breaking pill, another Void Refining expert would immediately emerge. Just thinking about it made them itch with anticipation!

"I wonder if this void breaking pill can be exchanged for other things?" Bear Opens Mountain inquired, his voice filled with expectation. Even Ape Fierce and Python Husband perked up, their eyes fixed on Ning Yuan, waiting for the answer they hoped for.

"Psh! In this poor place of yours, what good things are there besides the spring of life? Seeing your pained expressions just now, I know those three items were already the limit of what you could produce!"

"Sigh, what a pity..." Python Husband sighed with regret. To have a void breaking pill right before his eyes but be unable to obtain it was truly agonizing.

At this moment, Ape Fierce's eyes rolled around as he turned his gaze toward Bear Opens Mountain, leaning in slightly to whisper, "The spring of life, didn't you..."

"I used it long ago, how could any be left until now!" Bear Opens Mountain said with a darkened face and an annoyed tone, giving off the feeling that he had missed a massive Opportunity.

"Really?"

"Humph, believe it or not!"

Ape Fierce gave an embarrassed smile and sat up straight again, but his gaze kept shifting between Bear Opens Mountain and Ning Yuan. Clearly, he was somewhat skeptical of Bear Opens Mountain's words!

"We indeed do not have the spring of life, and other valuable things probably won't be enough to exchange for a void breaking pill. However, we would still like to see the true appearance of the void breaking pill, I wonder..." Bear Opens Mountain said hesitantly, feeling uneasy in his heart. If it really was a void breaking pill... "Oh? You want to see the void breaking pill? It's not impossible, but as for sincerity..." Ning Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled, thinking to himself: The old guy has taken the bait!

Bear Opens Mountain said with a chuckle, "A small matter, a small matter! A Soul Transformation grade bear hide, how about that?"

"And you two?" Ning Yuan then looked at the remaining two and asked.

"Ten catties of Monkey Wine!"

"One Soul Transformation grade inverse scale!"

They had never seen a sixth-grade elixir like the void breaking pill, only knowing of it from ancient texts. Now that the Opportunity was before them, how could they miss it? Even if they couldn't get the void breaking pill, seeing it would be good, if only to broaden their horizons.

"Good, straightforward!" Ning Yuan laughed and immediately took out a small porcelain bottle, tossing it carelessly to Bear Opens Mountain. The latter scrambled to catch the small bottle and, unable to suppress his inner urgency, opened the bottle with a pop. A purple pill lay quietly inside.

Instantly, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted from the bottle, permeating the air and lingering for a long time. Under this medicinal fragrance, the spiritual power within everyone's bodies began to stir faintly, as if they were facing some top-tier delicacy.

Bear Opens Mountain and the other two, along with Hawk Deep, all stared fixedly at that void breaking pill, their eyes unconsciously revealing greed, heat, and more. Had Ning Yuan not been there, they might have rushed out the door to take the void breaking pill for themselves.

After a long while, Ning Yuan suddenly spoke up, "Everyone, you've seen the item! Is it time to..."

The sudden voice pulled their thoughts back to reality, their faces full of lingering desire. However, facing Ning Yuan's smiling face and the Sword Talisman he held in his hand at some unknown point, their reason finally suppressed the greed in their hearts.

Bear Opens Mountain slightly tightened his grip on the small bottle, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes as if he were reluctant to part with it, but he still slowly handed it back to Ning Yuan, smiling, "Today has truly opened this old man's eyes; it was not a wasted trip!"

"This is the Soul Transformation bear hide, please accept it, little friend! This old man still has matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first!" He took out the bear hide, set it aside, and hurried away. Seeing this, Ape Fierce and Python Husband exchanged a look, left their items, and also hurriedly took their leave.

Looking in the direction where the three had left, the corners of Ning Yuan's mouth curled slightly, and he murmured to himself, "The bait has been cast; now we just have to see when the big fish will bite!"
