26: Ninth-grade rare item, Hidden Sea Flower!

"Of course!"

Immortal Sen Yan asked teasingly.

"Weren't you just acting all serious?"

Shen Li said righteously.

"A True Person's possession, I, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, should not, cannot, and dare not covet it."

"So, if you were at the same Realm as me, you would dare to covet it?"

Seeing this, Shen Li spoke truthfully.

"At least I'd try, after all, heaven and earth treasure belongs to the capable."

"Hahahaha, hahahaha!"

Sen Yan pointed at Shen Li, finding him increasingly interesting.

After his laughter subsided, he reined in his smile and said.

"I can give you this item, but it comes with conditions."

"Immortal Master, please speak."

"Do you see that Wang Family disciple outside? His name is Wang Teng."

Shen Li was puzzled. Why bring up a dim-witted Immortal Seedling of the Wang Family?

Such a person would probably be tricked to his death without even knowing who did it.

His Realm was average, his Heart-Nature was average, his combat skills... unknown.

Then he saw Immortal Sen Yan continue.

"This person is extraordinary; he is the one who will bear the heavy responsibility for my Wang Family in Qingchi Mountain in the future."

Shen Li was incredulous, pointing outside and saying with great surprise.

"Him?"

Immortal Sen Yan nodded, then took out an ancient, worn-out contract.

"Heart Demon Contract?"

Immortal Sen Yan lowered his gaze and said.

"However, this child's Heart-Nature needs someone to adjust it, but the adjustment cannot be handled by my Wang Family."

"So my Wang Family is also very troubled."

"In this transaction, he is the object of the transaction. He will become your bodyguard, obeying your commands, going east or west, scolding dogs or chickens, even going through mountains of blades and seas of fire, he can do it all."

"There is only one condition: he absolutely cannot die."

Only then did Shen Li react, looking at the Heart Demon Contract and saying with a complex expression.

"Immortal Master, Shen Li is currently struggling to protect himself... I'm afraid."

"In a certain death situation, someone will naturally intervene."

"I am merely an outer disciple of the Shen Family, a cheap life. This Brother Wang..."

"No matter."

"Immortal Master...."

"This Cang Hai Flower.... Do you want it, or not?"

After a long time, Shen Li bit his fingertip and completed the contract.

The Cang Hai Flower floated in the air, while Immortal Sen Yan had already disappeared, leaving only faint words echoing in the air.

"Seven years. If he is not properly trained, I will take back this Cang Hai Flower."

Shen Li complained weakly.

Foundation Establishment True Person are just that overbearing.

It was like he was Party A, and Shen Li was merely Party B, a small fry with no status.

He didn't even have the ability to refuse!

Putting the Cang Hai Flower into his Storage Pouch, Shen Li walked outside.

In the open space, the two burly Wang Family guards had already put away their sticks.

Wang Teng's back and buttocks were bruised and bloody from the beating.

It looked serious, but in reality, they were all superficial wounds, nothing major!

Seeing Shen Li approach, Wang Teng, drooling and stubborn like an idiot, raised his head and pursed his lips, saying.

"I want to fight you!"

Shen Li rubbed his forehead, feeling somewhat helpless, then walked over and said with sincere eyes.

"Does it hurt?"

Seeing this, Wang Teng stiffened his bones.

"It doesn't hurt!"

"Mm."

Walking to the board, Shen Li forcefully patted his buttocks, marveling.

"Brother Wang's endurance is indeed extraordinary."

"Shen Li! You're not a human! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!!!!"

His screams echoed through the clouds.

Meanwhile, in a grand hall suspended atop a mountain peak.

Wang Chen stood below the hall, awaiting the return of Immortal Sen Yan.

A gentle breeze rustled the chimes on either side.

He knew that this meant the Immortal Master had returned.

The rich Spiritual Qi within the hall condensed into a thick layer of mist.

Just inhaling it made one feel as if they could prolong their life.

Wang Chen, however, spoke up and asked.

"Immortal Master, why do you plan this? There are many ways to train this child."

Immortal Sen Yan's tone became ethereal, completely lacking his previous gentleness, and he said calmly.

"The Yin Nether Sect is causing trouble again; it might lead to unrest in the future."

"Teng'er has the Liyang Body, and the family has doted on him excessively, gradually making him useless to this extent. You all bear responsibility!"

"If the family trains him, no one is willing to strike lethal blows or target his vital points, which will eventually harm him."

"But following this Shen Family Immortal Seed, he might not necessarily be able to train himself, right?"

"At the very least, he can observe and learn more. 'Near vermilion, one is stained red; near ink, one is stained black.' He needs to grow more cunning."

"Is giving up the Cang Hai Flower worth it?"

"It's worth it."

"This junior understands. I will immediately send people to search for the whereabouts of the Wind Spirit Orb. Wind aids fire; once Teng'er's Dao Foundation is forged, he will surely achieve a Peerless Grade Divine Ability."

"No need to search."

A vast mist enveloped the entire hall, and Immortal Sen Yan's voice became ethereal, continuously echoing through the hall.

"That little fellow tricked you."

"That Five Spirit Beast wasn't wild; it was tamed by a Senior."

"This Senior... our family cannot afford to offend him."

"That little fellow didn't entirely lie to you, after all, he only knew that much."

"It's just whether he knows about that Senior... that's worth pondering."

"Xiao Chen, didn't you expect it? You, who are old and refined, were tricked by a mere youngster?"

"This little fellow is truly interesting."

At the entrance, the vermilion gate slowly closed.

"Ah?"

Wang Chen's face was ashen, his expression changing erratically.

After a long while, he actually snorted coldly and flicked his sleeve, leaving!

Returning to the courtyard, Wang Teng had already changed his clothes with the help of the maidservants, but he still had the maidservants pull up the clothes on his buttocks and back.

To avoid touching his wounds.

Superficial wounds, they really hurt.

Seeing Spiritual Qi flicker, it was Wang Chen slowly descending. His brows were filled with defiance, but he still said stiffly.

"Uncle!"

"Uncle my ass! Lie down for me!"

"Ah? What did I do wrong again?"

"I told you to lie down, so lie down. Where did all this nonsense come from?"

"I refuse! I refuse! I refuse!"

"I'm going to complain about you to Old Ancestor! I'm going to complain about you!"

"Complain! I dare you to complain! I dare you to complain!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"I! Re! Fuse!"

"Stubborn! Stubborn! Still daring to be stubborn!"

"I'd like to see if your mouth is tougher, or the whip in my hand is tougher!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah! Uncle!!!! Just you wait until I grow up!"

"You brat, you dare to threaten me?"

"Master... the whip is broken... how about."

"Someone, bring me my thorny whip!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah! Old geezer!!!!"

"Old thing!! Just kill me, just kill me! If I, Wang Teng, utter a single 'no,' I'll take your surname!"

"Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

"He's killing me!"

"Mommy, Mommy!!! Save me!"

"I was wrong, I was wrong, can't I just take your surname? Stop hitting!"

.......

Naturally, Shen Li was unaware of all this. As he walked through the market, he felt somewhat at a loss.

But... who cares? At least Opportunity had fallen into his hands! There's no way he wouldn't take it, right?

He wasn't an idiot!

He bought some miscellaneous items, spending all his Spirit Stone.

Then he saw Lu Li arrive at the inn again. The Wang Family had already made arrangements, so Shen Li confidently entered his room.

He sat cross-legged.

He activated the Spirit Gathering Array, blocking out external sounds.

Ready to begin his Breakthrough!
