Invincible Starts From Dao Fruit-Chapter 623 - 472: I’m Coming Clean! True Immortal Qizhenzi!
Outside the starry sky.
Changshan Tower.
In the ruins.
Chen Jichuan was no longer in the tower.
Months ago, when he successfully proved the Dao after breaking through the twenty-second layer, he stayed on the twenty-second layer and did not continue to ascend.
Since then, after leaving the tower, he stayed outside beneath the tower, lingering and not leaving the ruins.
And on this day.
Sitting cross-legged beneath the tower, Chen Jichuan suddenly opened his eyes, stood up, and strode out.
"Qizhenzi!"
As soon as he came out, Kuya Demon Lord appeared before him, eyes blazing: "Why did it take four months to come out after breaking through the twenty-second layer?"
Heaven knows how anxious he was during these four months of waiting.
Chen Jichuan was breaking through inside, while he was watching from outside, seeing him break straight to the twenty-second layer, then saw him exit the tower, but he didn’t leave the ruins.
Waiting like this for four months was truly tormenting.
At this moment, seeing Chen Jichuan finally come out, Kuya Demon Lord couldn’t hold back and questioned directly.
"Demon Lord, please calm down."
Chen Jichuan looked at Kuya Demon Lord and said with a smile, "I was lucky to obtain two scrolls of Divine Skills in the ’Changshan Tower,’ one named ’Nine Yin Ice Soul’ and the other ’Heavenly Demon Poison Banner.’"
As he spoke.
He also recited parts of the general outline of the two Divine Skills.
’Nine Yin Ice Soul’ was obtained on the fourteenth layer.
’Heavenly Demon Poison Banner’ was a reward for passing the nineteenth layer.
These are genuine Divine Skills, not any trickery.
"Two scrolls of Divine Skills!"
"’Heavenly Demon Poison Banner’?!"
Upon hearing this, Kuya Demon Lord’s eyes immediately narrowed.
Divine Skills are extremely valuable. Even though ’Nine Yin Ice Soul’ doesn’t suit him, he could later trade it with other True Immortals for treasures or other Divine Skills.
But that’s for the future.
It’s not easy to gain actual value in the short term.
But ’Heavenly Demon Poison Banner’ is different. At a glance, it involves poison skills and techniques. Kuya Demon Lord practices poison techniques just right.
Just listening to a small part of the general outline already moved him. If mastered, it might make his strength take a qualitative leap. Even if the Divine Skill is incomplete, the concepts and ideas within can benefit him greatly.
’Heavenly Demon Poison Banner’!
He is determined to get it!
"Good!"
"Good!"
Kuya Demon Lord was overjoyed and said to Chen Jichuan: "That ’Nine Yin Ice Soul’ counts as one hundred jin of source jade. I won’t haggle over ’Heavenly Demon Poison Banner,’ I can offer five hundred jin of source jade."
Two scrolls of Divine Skills, six hundred jin of source jade.
Complete Divine Skills certainly cannot be this cheap, nor can mere source jade buy them.
But these two scrolls are incomplete after all, with only one scroll each.
The price of six hundred jin of source jade is barely acceptable.
Plus, he has already paid three hundred thirty jin before, and this time Kuya Demon Lord has almost spent nearly a thousand jin of source jade.
His total earnings in the ’Ten Realms of Withered Cliff’ over hundreds of thousands of years might not equal this amount.
But as long as he can secure that ’Heavenly Demon Poison Banner’ scroll, it’s all worth it.
Moreover.
The source jade given out might not really be given away.
"Demon Lord is straightforward."
"Six hundred jin it is, then."
Chen Jichuan smiled, guessing the reason for Kuya Demon Lord’s straightforwardness, likely understanding his intentions, but he didn’t mind.
Fair transaction, each relying on their own abilities.
Now it’s a matter of who has the superior techniques.
Chen Jichuan readily agreed.
Kuya Demon Lord, after a brief contemplation, took out a cloth bag, opened it for Chen Jichuan to see, and inside were indeed six hundred jin of source jade.
"Here!"
Then casually tossed it over.
Qizhenzi was right in front of him, Kuya Demon Lord was not worried about him taking the money and escaping.
"Good!"
"This is ’Nine Yin Ice Soul.’"
Chen Jichuan likewise tossed a scroll of golden book to Kuya Demon Lord.
Divine Skills contain vast information, obscure and difficult to understand, barely capturable in writing, and require special items to fully record them without deviating from the True Intent.
True or false, the Divine Skill is identifiable at a glance.
Kuya Demon Lord took a look, confirming that ’Nine Yin Ice Soul’ was genuine, but what he really cared about was ’Heavenly Demon Poison Banner,’ frowning towards Chen Jichuan unhappily, "Where is the other Divine Skill?"
"No rush."
Chen Jichuan said with a smile: "I’m also thinking about the ’Spider Heart Grass.’"
"What do you mean by this?"
Kuya Demon Lord was already brewing killing intent.
"Nothing more."
"Didn’t the Demon Lord say, when I came to the ’Changshan Tower’ and found treasures for you, the ’Spider Heart Grass’ would be gifted?"
"’Heavenly Demon Poison Banner’ should qualify as a treasure for the Demon Lord, right?"
Chen Jichuan talked eloquently.
"Previously, you’ve already given me two hundred thirty jin of source jade, and we agreed that after achieving success, the source jade would be exchanged for ’Spider Heart Grass.’"
Kuya Demon Lord was growing impatient.
"Times change."
"Demon Lord, just consider spending eight hundred thirty source jade in total on these two scrolls of Divine Skills, then you won’t mind losing ’Spider Heart Grass.’"
Chen Jichuan didn’t draw it out and said directly: "’Vajra Immortal’ Dai Zong has already gone outside Kuya Island, Demon Lord hand over ’Spider Heart Grass’ to Brother Dai, and I will deliver the ’Heavenly Demon Poison Banner.’"
Source jade is good stuff.
’Spider Heart Grass’ is even better.
To other True Immortals and Upper Immortals, this ’Spider Heart Grass’ is a desperate move, not daring to use it lightly, unsure of the outcome, life or death.
But Chen Jichuan is not afraid.
"I have ’Enlightenment,’ the ’Spider Heart Grass’ is just a cover."
He has already proven the Dao, and will inevitably help others prove the Dao, getting ’Spider Heart Grass’ from Kuya Demon Lord to mask his ’Enlightenment’ is certainly ideal.
It’s a waste not to cheat an old demon like Kuya Demon Lord.
...
Seeing Kuya Demon Lord’s anger rising, Chen Jichuan added: "I have no use for ’Heavenly Demon Poison Banner’ lingering around, and the Demon Lord doesn’t really need ’Spider Heart Grass’ either. Let’s each get what we need, why bother?"
