Chapter 20 Requirements
The two flattered each other, and after a brief exchange, Han Li got up to take his leave.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, these are the spiritual materials from the first transaction. I hope the sect can help me sell them as soon as possible. However, do not leave them in Tianxing City. As for the spirit stones, you can give them to me after the transaction is completed."
After Han Li left, Wen Tianren got down to business, took out a storage bag and handed it to Zhou Yuan. Inside were the spiritual materials that Wen Tianren had copied.
Zhou Yuan took the storage bag, and when she checked it with her divine sense, she was taken aback.
Although the spiritual materials here are not as rare as Gengjing or millennia-old spiritual herbs, they are not common either. They are all spiritual herbs and materials that are useful to Foundation Establishment and Core Formation cultivators.
To her surprise, there were many different kinds and a large quantity of them, including many thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, which would sell easily if placed outside.
Zhou Yuan calculated that just to acquire this batch of spiritual materials, the required spirit stones would be no less than a million, no less than the value of the goods that were previously stolen.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao helped me retrieve those goods, which allowed the transaction to proceed smoothly and I already made a fortune. Now you've taken care of me again, helping me to complete such a large deal. With Fellow Daoist Xiao's support, it would be difficult for my Miaoyin Sect not to grow stronger."
Zhou Yuan accepted the storage bag and smiled at Wen Tianren.
That's true. If they have to pay back the people who came to help them earlier, especially the old monster Crimson Fire, then the profit they make after retrieving the goods will be limited.
However, those who came to help either died or betrayed her; all she needed was that insignificant Heavenly Thunder Bamboo to be given to Han immediately.
Furthermore, she also recruited Han Li into the Miaoyin Sect. It can be said that apart from the disciples who were previously killed by Jiyin Island, the Miaoyin Sect suffered no losses this time and even eliminated the parasites within the sect.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, you're too kind. In that case, I'll head back now. After this batch of spiritual materials is sold, Fellow Daoist Zhou can send someone to inform me that I will deliver another batch of spiritual materials to you." With that, Wen Tianren got up to leave.
"Wait a moment, Fellow Daoist Xiao, I have something else to discuss with you."
Upon hearing Zhou Yuan's words, Wen Tianren stopped in his tracks and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Zi Ling, standing next to Zhou Yuan, froze, her expression beneath the purple veil somewhat unnatural, revealing a blush that no one could see.
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath, her gaze firm, and looked directly at Wen Tianren.
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, I have been managing the Miaoyin Sect for many years, but my abilities are ultimately limited. Fortunately, my daughter Ziling is clever and quick-witted, and she helps me manage the sect. We have gained some reputation in the vicinity of Tianxing City."
But this beauty is also a shackle; countless people are eyeing her. That's why I found this purple veil to cover my daughter's face. But this is not a long-term solution. I intend to find my daughter a powerful patron.
"A fellow Daoist with such strength at such a young age is truly a perfect match for my daughter, Zi Ling. What do you think?"
Zhou Yuan directly stated her purpose: she wanted Zi Ling to become Wen Tianren's woman.
After saying that, Zhou Yuan waved her sleeve, and the purple veil on Zi Ling's face disappeared.
Her appearance was gradually revealed; her skin was as white as snow, like a fairy carved from white jade, with a gentle grace amidst her cool demeanor, stunning yet not seductive.
Her silky black hair cascaded down her shoulders, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
It must be admitted that Zi Ling was the most beautiful woman Wen Tianren had ever seen; none of the female celebrities he had seen in his previous life could compare to her.
Qingyu, standing beside him, had a different, aloof style, unlike Ziling's beauty.
As expected of the number one beauty in the Chaotic Star Sea, it must be said that after seeing Zi Ling's true appearance, Wen Tianren was very tempted by Zhou Yuan's suggestion.
However, he still showed hesitation on his face and said, "This... Fellow Daoist knows that I already have Qingyu by my side. Although she is not my Daoist partner, I will not become a Daoist partner with Fairy Ziling. I can only treat Fairy Ziling the same way I treat Qingyu. If that's the case, are you still willing? Besides, even if you are willing, Fairy Ziling may not be willing..."
Before Wen Tianren could finish speaking, Zi Ling stepped forward and said in a clear and firm voice, "Senior Xiao, I am willing. I am willing to be a concubine. Senior Xiao has treated me the same way he treated Sister Qingyu, and he even made his attitude clear in advance. This is enough to show that Senior Xiao is sincere towards Zi Ling. Zi Ling also admires Senior Xiao. My mother has already mentioned this matter to Zi Ling. I am willing."
Seeing that the two were in love, Zhou Yuan felt a sense of relief; the matter was about to be settled.
Unexpectedly, Zi Ling changed the subject, her eyes suddenly turning cold as she said, "However, I have a condition, and I hope Senior Xiao can agree to it."
"Ning'er, what are you saying? Trying to negotiate with Fellow Daoist Xiao..."
Just when things were about to be settled, Zi Ling proposed conditions that were different from what she had initially said. Fearing that her daughter might do something foolish, she quickly tried to stop her.
Before Zhou Yuan could finish speaking, Wen Tianren raised his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, let Fairy Ziling continue. It's just a condition. As long as it's not too unreasonable, I, Xiao, will agree if I have the ability."
Zi Ling took a deep breath, her eyes misting over, but her voice remained exceptionally clear as she continued, "You were there that day, so you naturally know that my father also died at the hands of that wicked villain, Ji Yin."
"If you can promise me that I can avenge my father after I break through to the Nascent Soul stage, then I am willing to become your concubine."
"Ning'er, why are you doing this to yourself..."
No matter what difficulties she encountered before, even when she was driven to the brink of despair by extreme yin, Zhou Yuan did not shed a single tear.
Hearing her daughter Ziling's words, this woman, who was always as strong as iron, couldn't help but choke up as she spoke, her eyes filled with tears.
She never expected that Zi Ling would propose this condition. Thinking of avenging her father, this strong woman who usually appeared strong in public was now just a mother who loved her daughter dearly.
Wen Tianren hadn't expected Zi Ling to propose this condition. He had always had a preconceived notion about Zi Ling, believing that she was somewhat admiring of the strong in the original work.
Of course, this is perfectly normal in the world of cultivation, and there's nothing to complain about.
However, today, Wen Tianren saw a different Zi Ling. Perhaps it was because Zi Ling was not like the one in the original story who had lost both parents, nor did she have the same strong desire to become a powerful person.
"So that's how it is. Even if Fairy Ziling hadn't said it, I would have done it anyway. After all, I've already killed the clone of the Extreme Yin Demon. He won't let me go, and correspondingly, I won't let him go either."
"I promised. Once I become a Nascent Soul cultivator, I will naturally annihilate Ji Yin and avenge you."
"Fairy Ziling is so filial. It is my blessing to have such a woman by my side."
Wen Tianren agreed to Zi Ling's conditions, promising to kill the Extreme Yin Demon in the future.
Then, Wen Tianren took out a jet-black jade slip, handed it to Zi Ling, and said, "This is the Xuan Yin Scripture of Ji Yin Island, a top-level demonic art. I think your physique is very suitable for cultivating this demonic art. Zi Ling, you should cultivate this art from now on."
Wen Tianren knew that Zi Ling possessed the Pure Yin Body of a Maiden, which, like his Heavenly Fiend True Demon Body, was extremely suitable for cultivating demonic arts, especially ancient demonic arts.
It was because of this constitution that Zi Ling was later valued by Liu Ji, who helped her ascend to the Demon Realm and chose her as his backup incarnation.
To be chosen as an incarnation by the Six Extremes Saint Ancestor, one of the three great progenitors of the Demon Realm, and to be specially allowed to ascend to the Demon Realm, one can imagine how terrifying her physique is.
