"What the heck? You're not into guys? I might have believed you if you hadn't explained; the more you explain, the less I believe you!" Zhang nglong imdiately used all his life-long agility technique, but alas, his speed was no match for a Dao Realm master.
In the blink of an eye, the little old man appeared before Zhang nglong. He grinned, revealing oddly crooked, yellowed teeth. This appearance, even among a group of beggars, wouldn't require any makeup; it was hard to associate him with a formidable Dao Realm master.
"Hehehe, young brother, why are you running so fast? I'm not so pervert."
"I know a psychiatric hospital where all the patients claim they're not ntally ill!" Zhang nglong was ready to summon his Dao Realm puppet at any mont.
But indeed, he didn't sense any malicious intent from this old man; it seed as though he didn't intend to harm him.
"What exactly do you want?"
"I want to discuss sothing with you," the old man said, "You ca to this place, I believe, because you sensed the scent of Cold Marrow Jade Dew?"
"Cold Marrow Jade Dew?" Zhang nglong thought for a mont; this thing was likely the na of the treasure Gou Dan had sensed. It certainly sounded rather impressive. "I don't know what it is, but I felt that so treasure was about to erge here, so I ca to try my luck."
"Your senses are sharper than most Dao Realm practitioners," the old man said. "At least twenty Dao Realm practitioners are in this Hong Yun Empire right now, and only I sensed the Cold Marrow Jade Dew scent. I didn't expect that you, a Third Grade Spiritual Body, could also sense it."
"Moreover, this place would instantly freeze a Divine Cultivation Peak being into an ice sculpture," the old man stomped the ground. Zhang nglong looked down and saw a martial artist's body sealed beneath the ice. He had long lost his life but still maintained a vibrant appearance as if ti had rely stopped.
"The flas on you are impressive, resisting the cold here. Even I, the old man, need to use two-tenths of my power to withstand the cold here; a slight neglect could freeze to death."
The old man rambled on a lot, but Zhang nglong still didn't understand what he was trying to convey.
"Do you know what Cold Marrow Jade Dew is?"
Zhang nglong shook his head; he didn't know squat.
"This is a treasure, ford in extrely low temperatures with an abundance of pure energy. It is imnsely beneficial for those cultivating cold attribute cultivation techniques and is an invaluable treasure for Body Refinent martial artists!"
"Beneficial for Body Refinent martial artists?" Zhang nglong only caught the latter part.
Although Gu Xiao's body had beco terrifying after being strengthened by the Destruction Demon Dragon's bloodline, in cultivation, innate talent and cultivation are equally important, but Zhang nglong was an expert at slacking off; he had progressed from a First-grade Spiritual Body to a Third Grade almost through bodily growth alone.
But with the acceleration of these treasures, Gu Xiao's physique enhancent could advance further, perhaps reaching Fourth or even Fifth Grade Spiritual Body before the superpower assessnts began!
At that point, once the bloodline power was activated, even facing a Divine Cultivation Realm practitioner, Zhang nglong would have a chance to strike!
"So, are you interested?" The old man leaned closer, looking eagerly at Zhang nglong, "We can split fifty-fifty once we get it!"
"Huh?" Zhang nglong almost doubted his hearing, "Sir, sothing a Dao Realm master can't obtain—what's the point of joining? And why would you share it fifty-fifty with ?"
"You have to understand, it's not that I can't obtain it, but I genuinely lack manpower!" the old man said. "If you help , our success rate will be high."
"Care to elaborate?"
"Hehe, I knew you'd be interested!" The old man sat down. "Do you have any food?"
Zhang nglong gave him a blank stare; how could a Dao Realm master act like a street rascal? He had such a strong rogue aura, it was hard to figure him out.
Yet Zhang nglong did enjoy listening to stories, and at this point, it was best to have sothing to munch on.
In this cold place, milk tea would turn to ice cream upon taking it out, so he could only offer so salty peanuts.
"Hmm? Delicious!" The old man's eyes lit up; he had never tasted sothing so unique in his life, and suddenly, his chatterbox opened, "That Cold Marrow Jade Dew is amidst the snowy mountains ahead, but there's a beast guarding it with formidable strength!"
"A Dao Realm Warcraft?" Zhang nglong recalled the recent roar from the front, along with the cold blast that had knocked the old man back, probably the work of that Warcraft.
"Exactly," the old man said, "It's a half-bird, half-dragon creature; I don't even know what it is. It must have consud quite a bit of Cold Marrow Jade Dew; its feathers are like armor. I fought it for several days and didn't manage to pluck a single feather!"
"But it can't do anything to either," the old man said proudly, "We're evenly matched; with the current situation, it's a standoff, and I can't find the Cold Marrow Jade Dew alone, so I need your help. I'll distract that beast while you go fetch it!"
"Why ?" Zhang nglong asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" the old man said, "There isn't another Divine cultivator who can withstand the cold of this ghostly place."
"Why not find other Dao Realm masters to help?"
"Hmph, I don't want to share the loot with them; if they find out, I'm afraid I won't even get half."
"Why should I trust you?" Zhang nglong asked, "You're a Dao Realm master; if I get that Cold Marrow Jade Dew, you might demand it all from , and I'd end up with nothing!"
"What the heck! What do you take for?" the old man said indignantly, "We old folks have our principles! If I say I'll give you half, you'll get half!"
"You think I'll risk my life based on your word? There's no such simple bargain in this world!"
"Then how do you want to prove it?"
"Transfer 10 trillion Divine Crystals first to see your capability?"
"Give your account!" the old man said.
...
"Your account has been credited with 10 trillion Divine Crystals! Balance..."
"What the heck, this old man is loaded!" Zhang nglong exclaid, witnessing soone casually dispense such massive wealth for the first ti.
"How about now, is my sincerity enough?" the old man asked.
"Alright, I'm in!" Zhang nglong was very interested in the Cold Marrow Jade Dew, and if he went in to fetch it himself, who knows how much he could actually claim. What the fifty-fifty share truly amounted to would be known only to him.
"Good!" The old man enthusiastically rubbed his hands together, "In that case, it's settled. I'll go hold off that beast, but at best, I can only hold it off for half an hour. You must co back within this ti. If you can't find it, don't worry, we'll try again."
"Alright."
"Ready?" The old man stood up and began shouting in the direction of the snowy mountain.
"You dumb bird, get out here! Today I'm going to make soup with your at!"
"Weren't you just acting all high and mighty? Co out if you have the guts! Co over and fight !"
"Goodness, this old man is priceless!" Zhang nglong watched the old man act like a provocative scoundrel, and there was a sense of camaraderie in the air.
"Roar!" That familiar roar sounded again, and Zhang nglong knew that the Warcraft was about to make an appearance!
