Forced to Be a Villain: Starting With My Brain Extraction System-Chapter 151: Blood Mother’s Tear!
"So, you mean, if you cannot absorb this Phoenix blood, the Divine Cauldron Sect might face a catastrophe?"
Zhiran looked at Lian Yue weirdly after hearing her reasoning. Speechless...he was really speechless by her negotiation skills.
Let alone, she was just guessing he was from the Divine Cauldron Sect, even if he was, would anyone just give her Phoenix Blood essence, just because of her words?
So what Divine Cauldron Sect face a calamity? Couldn’t he just go and join another sect?
With his talent, would they reject him?
"Little girl...if you really want this inheritance I can give you, but..."
Zhiran paused and spoke in a cold voice,
"If you think you can get it just by using flimsy words, you are testing my patience."
In fact, Zhiran could already guess what Lian Yue was hinting at. For the Gold Core cultivator, Yan Yue, to kill the Young Sect leader in the realm of Nascent Soul somethign must have happened.
If he thought that way, it made sense that Lian Yue tag along in this secret realm exploration, although he was still doubtful whether she already knew of this Blood Palace beforehand.
But that wasn’t his focus right now.
Currently, he held a high ground. If anyone thought he would just forfeit his opportunity for some grand flimsy reason, they would be sorely disappointed.
He, Zhiran, would only show his pity to his woman.
"N-No, senior, that’s not what I mean."
Lian Yue clearly saw Zhiran’s displeasure and hurriedly waved her hand. Then, as if afraid that he wouldn’t even listen to her, she quickly threw a ring towards him, which he caught lightly.
"Senior, I didn’t mean to say you give up this inheritance for free. Of course, I will pay you. Just...currently, I don’t have many resources that can compare to a Phoenix Blood Essence."
Lian Yue bit her lip, her gaze totally focused on the ring on Zhiran’s hand, her heart filled with reluctance.
"The only thing I have with me that is even remotely comparable to its worth is this chance for promotion, that is preapred by my father for me."
The more Lian Yue spoke, the more she felt pain as the thing inside that ring was really extraordinary. Even for her, she couldn’t get it twice.
It was the hope that her father prepared for her beforehand, in case the situation went south.
But now that she was this close to getting the Essence of Phoenix Blood and having hope to cure her father, she couldn’t be greedy anymore.
Besides, compared to ancient blood, that thing wasn’t that good.
’Hmm? Is this....Core Condensation Pill?’
While Lian Yue was biting her lips in distress, Zhiran quickly scanned the ring with his divine sense, only to get stumped.
Inside the ring given to him, there really was a chance for promotion. And this chance for promotion wasn’t from the late stage to the peak foundation realm, but from the foundation to the gold core.
"Are you sure you want to give this to me?"
To be honest, Zhiran was so shocked that he looked at Lian Yue and asked again.
After all, the thing inside was actually a Low Grade Heaven Rank Core Condensation Pill.
’Gulp!’
To be honest, Zhiran hadn’t seen this pill even in his last life. He didn’t know how many people would kill each other just to get a hand on this pill, and suddenly, he got one?
That too Heaven grade?
"Yeah, I am sure. And don’t worry, I will also make sure you won’t be persecuted by my sect. Just...will you agree?"
Although Lian Yue was reluctant, she was also someone decisive. Since she decided to trade, she wouldn’t back down.
She was just afraid that he would back down on the deal even after that. After all, she really didn’t have anything else to barter.
"Not enough!"
Unfortunately for her, her fear came true as Zhiran directly denied her negotiation.
After all, although he was surprised by such a windfall, it was really not equal to Phoenix Blood Essence before him.
This pill was scarce only because they were located in a remote location. But this essence...it wasn’t so common anywhere in this world.
"T-then...what do you want?"
Lian Yue was really at her wits’ end. Did she really go to miss once in a lifetime opportunity like this?
She was not reconciled.
"Haha...don’t worry, I do like your gift. But you also know that this isn’t enough, right?"
Zhiran saw her frown and sad look and was quite amused.
"What I mean is, besides this pill, if you give me another thing, I will agree and let you absorb this blood, what do you think?"
He asked, with a sly smile hiding beneath his robe.
"What is it?"
Sure enough, Lian Yue was surprised by his words and immidiatley became happy.
"As long as it is within my reach, I will definity agree."
She seemed even more enthusiastic, as hope after the fall was sweet after all.
"Hehe...it is of course within your reach."
Zhiran smiled at her excited look, his gaze scanning her figure slightly, and lightly stated his condition,
"The next thing I want isn’t that difficult for you. What I want is an Oath from you. An unconditional Oath that you will grant me something in the future, as long as it is within your ability. What do you think?"
He asked, with a sly look, hidden under his veil. He wanted to see if Lian Yue was daring enough give such an Oath.
"Deal!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Surprisingly for him though, Lian Yue didn’t even think twice before agreeing immidiatley, her face flushed with excitement.
She seemed rather relieved that she had to give such an insignificant promise instead.
’Does she...not understand what I want?’
For a moment, instead of her, Zhiran was confused.
Although it seemed just an oath, it was an unconditional one. Did she not understand his meaning?
"So...should I take it now?"
But looking at the lively figure of Lian Yue, with a radiant smile, Zhiran decided not to inquire.
Either way, he wasn’t losing anything.
"Okay, let’s start then."
....
Mo Zhiran’s aim of coming to the Blood Mist Valley was now almost over. Six days were already over, and today was the last seventh one.
Although the gain he got from the secret realm itself wasn’t much, the dragon blood essence he got from the Blood Palace was something else.
Not to mention the Brain of the Shadow Dragon.
Looming right below the main pillar with his menacing black eyes, looking at everything like a king. His collection inside the Consciousness platform was finally getting intriguing.
To be honest, Zhiran couldn’t wait to use its abilities.
But before that....
"Bang!"
"Scrcchhh...."
A deafening roar of a monstrous creature echoed from one of the largest caves at the very center of Blood Mist Valley, where the concentration of the crimson mist was the densest.
Due to its extremely corrosive nature, even other Foundation Realm cultivators avoided this place when hunting for treasure.
Of course, that was not the only reason.
This cavern was the nest of the Countess Brood of demonic spiders, creatures born with scarlet carapaces and venomous fangs, their bodies entirely blood-red as if soaked in fresh gore.
Each spider possessed terrifying vitality and poison strong enough to corrode spiritual energy itself.
Once entangled by their webs, even a late-stage Foundation Realm cultivator would find it difficult to escape alive.
As the roar echoed, the blood mist surged violently, and countless red shadows began to stir within the darkness of the cave, their compound eyes lighting up one after another like burning embers.
Their combined murderous intent was so strong that it seemed to have materialized into a tangible pressure.
"Swish!"
"Bang!"
"Scrcchhh...."
Yet the roar did not diminish in the slightest.
Instead, it grew even more furious as the cacophony of violent explosions and eternal combustion shattered the long silence of the valley’s core.
Such blasphemy.
Such audacity.
Who dared disturb the slumber of their Queen?
Who possessed so many lives that they came here merely to throw them away?
If their Queen awakened, she would surely gobble the intruder alive.
Definitely.
...If not for the fact that she was currently too busy being burned alive.
Literally....
"Screchhhh...!"
"Bang!"
"Damn it... stupid idiot, give me your tear already. Do you really want to die?"
Mo Zhiran cursed as he once again unleashed his Heaven Devouring Flame.
