"Give this valley to you?"
On hearing Mu Jinyu's words, the expressions of Master Yu and his disciple slightly changed, and they exclaid in surprise.
Master Yu furrowed his brows and said in astonishnt, "This... our valley isn't exactly a Heaven Cave Blessed Land. Why would the Dragon King want my secluded dwelling?"
Qiu Bai and Chen Xiuying also felt a strange sensation in their hearts.
In their minds, exchanging the valley for "Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi" was naturally a great deal, but this valley was the place they had lived in all their lives; they truly did not wish to give it up so easily.
Although they were willing to do it to save their master's life, they still couldn't help feeling a sense of lancholy reluctance.
Mu Jinyu said, "I have my reasons for wanting this place. Just tell if you are willing or not. I don't want to coerce you. I ca here to refine pills for you, to show you a way out, all for free. If you really are unwilling, you can go find a suitable Ice Series Technique yourself. It might still be possible to find a way to survive."
There was no lie in what Mu Jinyu said.
After his wager with Qiu Bai ended, he could have chosen to ignore Qiu Bai altogether; coming here to refine pills, which he did free of charge, was completely for the sake of looking after his subordinates.
And the five years that Qiu Bai would serve him was the result of losing that bet, not a compensation for the alchemy.
Master Yu was a stranger to him, and it had only been a week since Qiu Bai had joined him. Mu Jinyu wouldn't possibly give away the valuable "Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi" for free just to win them over.
It could only be a trade.
And in trades, it naturally all depends on willingness.
Mu Jinyu was not willing to conceal the possible cure for Master Yu or exploit him in his mont of despair by demanding the valley as paynt for refining the Mysterious Yang Pill.
He also did not want to give Master Yu the "Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi" first and then ask for the land's Dragon Vein afterwards.
Such actions would be taking advantage of their gratitude. He disdained doing such things!
He would rather clarify things directly and trade with him!
If Master Yu was unwilling to exchange the valley for "Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi", Mu Jinyu had already shown him a way out and even refined the Mysterious Yang Pill to suppress the cold energy inside his body, giving him enough ti to look for the whole "Black Emperor Water Emperor Technique" himself.
It could be said that Mu Jinyu, in making this trip, didn't seek any benefits upfront; rather, he had done everything he could to treat Master Yu's illness out of benevolence and righteousness.
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Master Yu's expression sank back into contemplation; after a mont, he looked up at Mu Jinyu, smiled, and said, "To be honest, I've lived here for several decades, and I really don't want to leave. But I don't want to continue degenerating either. I agree to the exchange!"
He understood that he had no other choice, for continuing to suffer would surely lead to death. At that point, the valley would still end up in Mu Jinyu's hands.
"Good! That's decisive!"
When Mu Jinyu heard Master Yu agree to his terms, his heart also settled, and he thought that the issue of restoring the Yinlong Mountain Dragon Vein had been resolved, and he said so with a smile.
"But..." Master Yu said, glancing deeply at Mu Jinyu, smiled aningfully and said, "Don't you fear that after I master 'Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi' and my cultivation body fully recovers, possibly advancing further, I might go back on my word and fatten myself with my broken promise?"
"If Master Yu can make his disciples willingly search for a cure for dozens of years, I think if Master Yu was that kind of person, they wouldn't act that way. So, I trust Master Yu's character," Mu Jinyu said calmly with a smile.
Internally, however, he shook his head: "I don't trust you at all!"
He thought to himself that Master Yu had been afflicted by illness for so long, and likely hadn't made much progress in his cultivation over these decades. Even if after switching to "Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi" he managed to recover to the Fifth or Sixth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm, that would be quite good; even if he reached as high as the Seventh Layer, it wouldn't matter.
Indeed, he could never reach the Eighth or Ninth Layer of the Divine Transformation Realm, so with his complete cultivation of the "Green Emperor's Wood Emperor Art," he could easily suppress the "Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi." Additionally, the "True Dragon Art," enriched by the Dragon Clan's bloodline, also enhanced his strength. Hence, he was innately on invincible ground, utterly fearless of Yu Shenfeng's potential betrayal!
The only people he could trust in significant matters previously were Xiang Mantang and his master, and now also included six wives and Su Zijin, his dear mother, and Mu Hongchen and Jian Ruyan, could barely be counted too.
"Hehe, good…"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu express his trust, Yu Shenfeng imdiately showed a delighted smile and said, "Yuu Soone will not let the Dragon King down, so let the transaction begin."
"Hmm." Mu Jinyu nodded and said, "Get ready to receive."
With that, he raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers together, and pointed at Yu Shenfeng's forehead.
Seeing this, Yu Shenfeng closed his eyes, his mind sank into concentration, ready to receive the Cultivation Technique chapters transmitted by Mu Jinyu's Divine Sense.
Soon, as a wave of Spiritual Thought fluctuated, Yu Shenfeng saw Rune characters appearing in his Sea of Consciousness, which then continuously combined into a mysteriously profound Cultivation Technique! Thɪs chapter is updated by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
It was the "Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi"!
After Mu Jinyu transmitted the cultivation thod of the "Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi" to Yu Shenfeng, he silently withdrew his hand.
Yu Shenfeng, still imrsed in the profundity of the technique, struggled to detach himself for a long ti.
For over an hour, Yu Shenfeng finally opened his eyes, his eyes sparkling, "Wonderful, wonderful indeed…"
It was only because of his astonishing comprehension that he was able to grasp this "Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi" in just over an hour, whereas an ordinary person might struggle for half their life without understanding it.
Then, without waiting to thank Mu Jinyu, Yu Shenfeng eagerly closed his eyes again, began to cultivate with the "Heavenly Frost Profound Cold Qi," started to modify his Cultivation Technique, and attempted to resolve the profound cold Qi that had plagued him for decades!
"Boom boom!!"
Soon, sounds like surging waves echoed from within Yu Shenfeng's Dantian!
"Huff…"
Suddenly, a cold air flowed out of Yu Shenfeng's body, causing Chen Xiuying and Qiu Bai to involuntarily shiver.
"So cold…"
Only then did they understand the deep pain Yu Shenfeng had endured over the years!
"Crack crack crack!"
At that mont, the Warm Jade Bed beneath Yu Shenfeng couldn't withstand the emanating cold Qi and began to crack.
Mu Jinyu sensed sothing was amiss and shouted to Qiu Bai and Chen Xiuying, "Go, leave this place!"
After speaking, he no longer waited for them and strode out of the bamboo house.
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Qiu Bai and Chen Xiuying looked hesitant, still wanting to protect their master, but then Qiu Bai, convinced that Mu Jinyu was rarely wrong, decisively grabbed his senior sister's hand and they both left.
"Boom!!"
Shortly after they left the bamboo house, a roaring sound suddenly erupted, like an avalanche, followed by a terrifying cold burst that froze the entire bamboo house!
