Chapter 208 I also have a condition
"You don't actually think that my Sea Ice Lotus has taken root here and I can't go anywhere, do you? You need to rely on you to provide me with spiritual energy to prolong my life?"
Huan Yan smiled faintly, her expression both confident and arrogant, which made people angry. Zhao Qingfeng had underestimated her after all. How could someone who could devour the Nascent Soul of a Nascent Soul cultivator with only Foundation Establishment cultivation dare to be completely unguarded?
"So you've been lying to me all along, using me to provide you with spiritual power so that you can improve your cultivation?" Zhao Qingfeng could hardly believe it. He was always vigilant and no one had ever been able to deceive him, but he had just believed Huan Yan's words, mainly because he had indeed checked the situation of the Ice Lotus in the Sea at that time.
Its roots have indeed penetrated deep into the ground and are connected to the earth's veins. If it were to leave, it would need to be forcibly pulled out. However, this would not only severely damage the Ice Lotus but also backfire on her. Generally speaking, she would not do such a thing.
But Huan Yan is no ordinary person. She has always liked to take unconventional approaches. Since things have come to this point, she has nothing to be afraid of. At worst, she can live out her life in vain. It's better than being trapped here forever.
"Don't talk like you've suffered a great loss. We've been using each other. Over the years, I've provided you with a lot of demonic techniques. Otherwise, how could your cultivation have reached this level? Of course, there's something I need to tell you."
At this point, Huan Yan revealed a cryptic smile that sent chills down one's spine. Zhao Qingfeng suddenly had a bad feeling. He immediately frowned and asked in shock, "Did you tamper with the cultivation technique?!"
"Otherwise, why do you think I would give you the cultivation technique? Besides, don't think I don't know what you're up to. You set up a barrier around my Ice Lotus and watered it with Weak Water, which almost caused the Ice Lotus to wither. In a way, we're even."
These two are really hurting each other. Tao Tao, who was listening from the side, sighed inwardly. It can only be said that they don't trust each other at all and are always on guard. Otherwise, things would not have turned out like this.
Zhao Qingfeng let out a cold laugh, knowing she was no match for him, and asked, "So you want to kill me now?"
"You'll have to ask her." Huan Yan pushed Tao Tao out directly, which made Zhao Qingfeng glare coldly at Tao Tao. This girl seemed weak and easy to bully, but she was actually very shrewd. He himself had been tricked by her, and now that Huan Yan was helping him, he really couldn't get away with it by himself.
"I just want my things back. Are you willing to give them back to me?"
Tao Tao blinked, looking completely innocent, which infuriated Zhao Qingfeng, but she had nowhere to vent her anger. She could only grit her teeth and say, "Does returning this to you mean this matter is wiped clean?"
"That depends on whether my things are missing or not, and whether Senior Huan wants to take your life." Tao Tao casually tossed the matter to Huan Yan. The other party was a Nascent Soul cultivator, and killing him was not such an easy thing. Once they became enemies and were chased all the way, it would be a loss for them.
Hearing this, Zhao Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. His current situation was relatively safe, but he didn't know how much Huan Yan had tampered with his cultivation technique. Under normal circumstances, he could escape with his life without any problem, but if the problem originated from the root, then it would be troublesome.
"Actually, you all know that Nascent Soul cultivators aren't so easy to kill. Even if you really wanted to take my life, you wouldn't have an easy time either. How about we make a deal?"
"trade!?"
When he finished speaking, Tao Tao and Huan Yan both spoke at the same time, expressing their surprise.
“I know of a treasure trove. If the three of us go together, we can loot all the treasures inside. It’s better than killing each other here.”
"What is this Fortune Treasure Land?" Huan Yan was somewhat tempted. No one would complain about having too many treasures, especially since such places often have not only magical artifacts and talismans, but also superior cultivation techniques, high-grade pills, and spiritual materials. These are exactly what Huan Yan needs most.
"Is it because you're interested?" Zhao Qingfeng's smile grew even wider. He said, "Have you ever heard of the Secret Luo Sect?"
"Sunset Palace?"
Suddenly, Tao Tao asked a question in return.
What a coincidence! She had just been invited by the people of Bogulou to go to the Miluo Sect. Unexpectedly, what seemed like a secret turned out to be known by Zhao Qingfeng as well.
"You know?" Zhao Qingfeng was very surprised. Once a place like this is discovered, the news will definitely be blocked and will not be easily spread. Logically speaking, Tao Tao should not know. Could it be that she is hiding her strength?
But no matter how well she hides it, it should all be completely invisible in front of a Nascent Soul cultivator like him. Or does she have a background with extremely deep foundation?
Just as Zhao Qingfeng was lost in thought, Tao Tao nodded slightly, "I've heard of it."
"It's even better if you've heard about it. You must know what treasures are inside. You won't lose out if you go." Zhao Qingfeng narrowed her eyes, becoming even more curious about Tao Tao.
However, Tao Tao flatly refused, "Then you can go by yourselves. I don't want to go with two Nascent Soul cultivators. If we encounter any high-level treasures, I won't even have a chance to compete for them. It would be so painful to see them but not be able to get them. I'd rather not go, so as not to be envious."
"You're quite sensible. In that case, I'm too lazy to go. After all, I no longer have a physical body. Going to such a place and encountering trouble would be a loss for me. Besides, I've heard that the Mi Luo Sect is skilled in making poisons, so the Sunset Palace must have plenty of potent poisons. There's no need for me to take the risk."
Unexpectedly, not only did Tao Tao refuse, but Huan Yan also showed no interest. For Huan Yan, no treasure could compare to the importance of spiritual marrow. What she wanted was to improve her cultivation as soon as possible and find a body to possess at the right time. Otherwise, she would not be able to hold on for long and would be completely devoured.
In fact, Tao Tao's physical body was a good choice, which is why she was willing to cooperate with it, and not just for the spiritual essence.
Seeing that both of them refused, Zhao Qingfeng was a little surprised. Huan Yan was fine, it was normal for her to not care about some treasures at her level, but what was Tao Tao being so high and mighty about?
Zhao Qingfeng countered, "Are you two sure you don't want to go?"
Tao Tao and Huan Yan said in unison, "No."
Their answer was very firm, without the slightest hesitation, and they seemed to have no interest at all. Huan Yan had just shown excitement, so it seemed that they weren't unwilling to go, but rather unwilling to go with him.
Since that's the case, there's no need for him to force it. Besides, he and Huanyan have already reached this point, so it's impossible for them to cooperate without any reservations. It's very possible that they might end up fighting over a treasure they both covet. It's better to avoid meeting each other altogether and save himself from wasting more cultivation.
"Since that's the case, I won't force you. Little one, with Huanyan protecting you today, I can't do anything to you, so I'll spare your life. You'd better not let me run into you again, otherwise..."
"Could you please return my storage bracelet and the others?"
As a result, Tao Tao completely ignored his threats, her mind preoccupied with her storage bracelet and pet pouch. Zhao Qingfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes in exasperation. He was genuinely curious about what treasures were inside her storage bracelet that made her so fixated on them. He should have checked it out from the beginning.
"That's natural, but I have one condition."
At this moment, Zhao Qingfeng looked at Huan Yan and suddenly spoke.
