Undead Mage from a Cell
Chapter 758 - 756: Gift-Giving
Good stuff?
Gu Xi certainly believed that the Li Family's Daughter could produce good stuff.
But Gu Xi also understood that not everything could be accepted now.
In the eyes of the Li Family's Daughter, Gu Xi was now a big shot who had seen everything.
If Gu Xi showed interest in something that seemed ordinary, it would definitely arouse the Li Family's Daughter's suspicion.
Not only would he gain nothing, but he might also be killed by the Li Family's Daughter, which would be a great loss.
So Gu Xi did not respond, acting as if he hadn't heard a thing.
This attitude from Gu Xi actually put the Li Family's Daughter at ease.
She had been testing Gu Xi's caliber from the beginning.
The initial good feeling she had was one thing, but the Li Family's Daughter couldn't possibly risk everything based on a bit of goodwill.
As for the Death Incarnation released by Gu Xi, she didn't pay it much mind.
The Death Incarnation's level was only 16 right now.
Even without the Li Family's Daughter taking action, those hard laborers outside could kill the Death Incarnation.
Even if the Death Incarnation had the ability to open the gate to the Underworld, it didn't mean Gu Xi was truly some big shot from the Underworld.
The reason why the Li Family's Daughter reacted this way was because she found her Charm and Mental Ability were ineffective against Gu Xi.
This was why she was suspicious of Gu Xi.
In her view, her mental abilities were quite strong, influencing the Ghost Souls on the Li Family's side and even those they passed by earlier.
Sometimes she didn't even need to speak; a mere glance could settle everything.
But this time, her always-successful mental prowess was ineffective on Gu Xi.
In such a situation with Gu Xi, he could either be an ancient ghost or a Buddha Son, and no one else could have such restraint.
Because of this, the Li Family's Daughter had formed the idea that Gu Xi might be a big shot from the Underworld reincarnated.
However, she had been hesitating and probing, to verify the situation.
Was she really getting so close to Gu Xi because of his level 9 Fitness Skill and the Fire of Life fused into his body?
Definitely not, she just wanted to listen to Gu Xi's heartbeat to determine if he was under any influence.
This time was no different, as the Li Family's Daughter wanted to use some items to test Gu Xi.
Of course, this kind of probing couldn't be too frequent; once or twice was fine, but after three times, if Gu Xi turned hostile, she wouldn't even be able to use his influence, and she risked being taken out by Gu Xi in one go.
So there had to be limits.
The Li Family's Daughter reminded herself and quickly produced an item, placing it in front of Gu Xi.
Gu Xi didn't even have the thought of reaching out to open it.
He was just pretending to be the big shot, after all, it was she who sought him, not him who sought her stuff.
Now she sends over an item, and if he eagerly opens it, what kind of attitude would that portray?
That wouldn't do.
No matter what, he had to act indifferent, as if to say she was the one offering these items.
Seeing Gu Xi's reaction, the Li Family's Daughter didn't say anything more.
In her opinion, this reaction from Gu Xi was normal.
Then the Li Family's Daughter reached out to open the box, revealing a golden yellow orb beneath.
The orb was about the size of a fist; once opened, a weighty Yin Qi and a strange aura rushed out.
The combination of these two auras created an exceptionally eerie feeling.
This sensation was somewhat like when Gu Xi drank that cup of Fire of Life, as if consuming this item would rapidly enhance power.
However, Gu Xi had been tricked by the Fire of Life once before.
He wasn't about to let it happen again.
Although he knew what this thing was for, Gu Xi only took one look before looking away.
This action of Gu Xi surprised the Li Family's Daughter.
In her heart, she already had a judgment.
This man's eyesight was quite keen, recognizing this as Buddha's Relics at a glance, but his standards seemed quite high.
Although this Buddha's Relic wasn't orthodox, the Buddha Nature inside was not weak at all.
As long as an Undead consumed it, they could immediately impact the Arhat Fruit Position (Level 20), yet he wouldn't give it a second glance.
Does he disdain such Buddha's Relics?
If he looks down on something like this, what does he really want?
Although this was a momentary thought, many notions flashed through the Li Family's Daughter's mind.
Ultimately, she bit her teeth, "Young master, do you not like this?
Then look at this one, and if it still doesn't suit, I truly have nothing else to offer you."
As she spoke, the Li Family's Daughter took out an elongated box.
The box was about 1.2 meters long, completely black, and when she took it out, it seemed heavy; when placed on the sedan, it noticeably dipped.
At this moment, without waiting for Gu Xi's sign, she directly opened the box.
The instant the box was opened, a fragrance wafted towards Gu Xi, noticeably speeding up the flow of blood in his body.
Upon looking inside, Gu Xi saw a staff made of bamboo.
The staff was completely bright green and full of vitality.
The fragrance originated from this staff.
Gu Xi, also attracted by this scent, couldn't help but look towards the direction of the staff.
For some reason, when he saw this staff, he felt as if looking at a corpse.
Moreover, it was the corpse of quite a high level.
This feeling was very similar to seeing the sleeping body of the Yaksha King on Yellow Springs Road.
But the current situation was obviously much stronger than that of the Yaksha King.
At this moment, Gu Xi couldn't help but say a word.
"Corpse..."
But Gu Xi immediately caught himself, realizing he shouldn't show any flaw now, with the Li Family's Daughter still watching him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Xi uttered that word, the Li Family's Daughter's eyes lit up.
"Young master, indeed astute, this is precisely the body left behind by a Corpse Dissolving Immortal upon dissolution. This immortal was personally defeated by me, and after his death, he left three things.
One is the sword with which I ended him, which I always carry with me.
Another is the Corpse Dissolving Immortal's inheritance, kept at my home.
And the last one is the Corpse Dissolving Immortal's body itself.
I have always kept it with me, now presenting it to you in the hope that you can aid me."
Gu Xi was silent for a moment.
He hadn't anticipated such a thing. ๐๐๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐๐ธ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ต.๐ฌ๐ค๐ข
He wasn't familiar with the Corpse Dissolving Immortal.
However, Gu Xi guessed that the Li Family's Daughter probably had nothing else to offer.
For the corpse of a Corpse Dissolving Immortal to be held in such high regard by her, it probably possessed Orange Quality.
With this thought in mind, Gu Xi finally slowly extended his hand, swept the staff into the Mysterious Mirror Image Space.
