Chapter 422: Chapter 219: Spirit-Storage Yin Pill, Intrigue Within the Immortal City

"How many Spirit Stones does Brother Han need?"

Feng Jue couldn’t feel pleased, for curiosity filled his heart instead.

He knew Han Li’s temperament; under normal circumstances, Han Li would never say such words. Previously, he only promised to help in other ways, but this time his words implied the use of more means.

Wen Jiu did not conceal anything, as only by letting Feng Jue know his needs would he make the right choice of target, "Over ten million Low-grade Spirit Stones, or Tier Two Yin Evil Spirit Medicine of equivalent value."

"Ten million!"

Feng Jue was taken aback.

Which Cultivator below Golden Core could have so many Spirit Stones?

What is Brother Han planning?

However, even though Feng Jue was curious, he didn’t inquire further. As a wise man, he understood that knowing this was already the limit. Asking more would be too presumptuous, and Han Li would not answer anyway.

Wen Jiu continued, "Therefore, Brother Feng can freely choose assassination targets. If one attempt isn’t enough, try several more."

"The last time we gained quite a lot, for two reasons: Gu Qianqiu was a Tier Two High-grade Talisman Master, and the Wood Spirit Blessed Land coincidentally was a place for spiritual medicine cultivation. With Gu Qianqiu’s death, Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks has strengthened the protection of talisman masters and Blessed Lands. It’s said that Fake Pill Cultivators are secretly monitoring, ready to rush over if anything happens to the Blessed Lands or talisman masters." Feng Jue truthfully informed, feeling troubled for a moment, unsure how to choose a target.

But, to be fair, he was very glad to see Han Li have a need. He feared the day when even delivering Blood Corpse Mushrooms to Han Li would no longer be necessary.

Wen Jiu was in no hurry, "No rush, Brother Feng. Take your time to deliberate after you return, try as many times as needed."

"Alright!"

Feng Jue nodded.

He then asked, "May I inquire as to the limit of immediate success that Brother Han mentioned?"

"Below Fake Pill,"

Wen Jiu responded calmly.

Han Li’s expression suddenly froze, as if startled, he said no more, etched those words deep in his mind before getting up, cupped his fists, and bid farewell.

After leaving the Enchanting Forest, he immediately headed to the Hidden Pavilion, preparing to meet Daoist Wei, who had not yet left. The internal assassination bounty issued by Wind and Cloud Immortal City no longer met such standards. Even if there were, they involved Fake Pill Cultivators, and the disparity between the gains and risks seemed too great.

Upon ascending the stairs, Daoist Wei, who was standing by the corridor, stroked his beard and turned around, "Junior Brother Feng, did you meet Li Mu?"

"Reporting to Senior Brother, I did."

Feng Jue cupped his fists in salute.

Daoist Wei continued, "Does he have any complaints or thoughts about me?"

Feng Jue was taken aback, unsure why Daoist Wei would ask this, "Senior Brother, Brother Li is not such a person. He resisted Vice City Lord Lin, surely standing firmly on Senior Brother’s side, with no other ideas."

"Does he wish to be an Honored Guest Elder again?"

In all fairness, Li Mu’s strength was something he acknowledged, but unfortunately, it was his potential. He had already learned from Heihe about Li Mu’s inferior Spirit Root. Though he didn’t know how Li Mu, with an inferior Spirit Root, had managed to achieve Foundation Establishment and reach the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, it surely involved considerable sacrifices.

Wanting to reach the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment would be extremely difficult, so after learning of this, he hadn’t personally sought Han Li, nor sent anyone, instead waiting for Feng Jue to return and inquire. Some things he needed Feng Jue to convey to Li Mu.

He also wanted to take the opportunity to recruit Li Mu, ensuring that he would work wholeheartedly for him in the future, rather than being a casual Honored Guest Elder.

Feng Jue quickly asked, "Senior Brother, Brother Han has already been removed by Vice City Lord Lin, and the Honored Guest Token has been taken. Can it be retrieved?"

"Of course," Daoist Wei nodded.

Feng Jue was delighted, "Then I’ll head to the Enchanting Forest once more shortly."

"Do you have other matters at hand now?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"Senior Brother, I wish to take on another task."

"Wishing to enter Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven should not be rushed. With Gu Qianqiu’s death, Divine Extinction Thousand Peaks is on high alert now. A single slip-up, and your Earth Yang Foundation Establishment will be in vain."

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your concern, but I still wish to proceed," Feng Jue persisted, keeping in mind Han Li’s needs.

Daoist Wei’s brow furrowed, "Give me a reason."

"I need Spirit Stones."

"How many?"

"Many!"

"For what?"

"To nurture the toxic body in preparation for the next venture into Dark Evil God’s Cave Heaven. I’ve discovered that the stronger the Spirit Body, the better the cultivation effect in the Yin Spirit Liquid Lake."

"You sure have bold ideas. I dared to tread the path of Dual Cultivation of Body and Technique only after achieving Foundation Establishment Perfection, and you’re still in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment thinking of taking this path," Daoist Wei did not dissuade him, for with Feng Jue’s needs, he could be driven.

For those without desires or needs, like Han Li, it was hard to drive them. To get them to be of use required some thought.

Truly irksome.

"In that case, there’s no need to take on the bounty, I personally have a task that can offer you some gains."

Without further words, Daoist Wei transmitted a message directly to his ear.

Feng Jue’s expression tightened, knowing the matter was likely significant, but he still added, "Senior Brother, I hope the gains are somewhat substantial."

"Big or not, I can’t say, but whatever the gain may be this time, it all goes to you. I have only one request, which is to deter certain people. If there are no gains, I will personally supplement you with a Tier Two Top Grade Spirit-Storage Yin Pill."

Hearing the transmission, Feng Jue’s first thought was to refuse; he didn’t want to do tasks with uncertain gains.

But in the next moment, Daoist Wei spoke again, "Perhaps you don’t know about the Spirit-Storage Yin Pill. Though it’s only Tier Two, only a Tier Three Yin Alchemist can refine this pill. Throughout the Divine Fall Mountain Range, there’s no one capable of refining it, so it only exists in the hands of Golden Core Cultivators; those below Golden Core can only rely on their generosity."
