Chapter 1125: Chapter 588: Clue of Tianxin Grass_2
In his heart, he had basically acknowledged this realm to be Lin Tianming’s true cultivation.
Coming back to his senses, Sun Liancheng stared intently at Qin Xi, seemingly waiting for her explanation.
It was at this mont that Qin Xi chuckled and said, “Daoist Sun, do not be alard, this is my husband, Chen Tian.”
“The reason I previously did not ntion my husband is because he has been preoccupied with his closed-door cultivation, and whether he could join this eting was unknown.”
“Coincidentally, my husband has just recently ended his seclusion, and upon hearing of Daoist Sun’s esteed reputation, he holds you in high regard and wishes to make your acquaintance.”
“Rest assured, Daoist Sun, both my husband and I have long admired you and harbor no ill intent.”
Qin Xi spoke in succession, her expression carrying a hint of apology, and her attitude was exceedingly sincere.
Upon hearing this explanation, Sun Liancheng also showed a faint smile on his face, and the caution in his heart lessened considerably.
Then, Sun Liancheng bowed with his hands clenched in front of him towards Lin Tianming, as if making an acquaintance, before sitting down opposite Lin Tianming.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming also chuckled and hastened to greet Sun Liancheng.
After the trio exchanged a few casual words, the atmosphere finally relaxed.
At this point, Lin Tianming glanced at Qin Xi next to him, and then spoke up.
“Daoist Sun, my wife and I have invited you here, and I presu you are aware of the specific purpose.”
“With that said, I shall not beat around the bush and will get straight to the point.”
“Do you truly have knowledge of the whereabouts of Tianxin Grass, or perhaps you possess it yourself?”
As he asked, Lin Tianming looked seriously at Sun Liancheng, his heart filled with anticipation for Sun Liancheng’s reply.
When Sun Liancheng heard this, he hesitated for a mont upon seeing the expression on Lin Tianming’s face.
But soon, Sun Liancheng responded, “Daoist Chen is so forthright, you must hold Tianxin Grass in high regard.”
“I won’t conceal it from Daoist Chen, I do not have the Tianxin Grass on , but I am indeed aware of its whereabouts.”
“Oh? Is that so?”
Lin Tianming feigned surprise, his face showing excitent.
Seeing this, Sun Liancheng gave a light smile, his expression calm as he replied, “Hehe… surely Daoist Chen is also aware of the value of Tianxin Grass.”
“In order to acquire this information, I have previously paid a great price, and even risked my life.”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming imdiately understood Sun Liancheng’s intention.
Thus, Lin Tianming asked straightforwardly, “What are your conditions, Daoist Sun? Do speak freely.”
“As long as the information is true, the reward from my wife and myself will certainly satisfy you, Daoist Sun.”
When Sun Liancheng heard Lin Tianming’s words, he nodded and then said.
“Since Daoist Chen is so straightforward, I won’t beat about the bush either!”
“If Daoist Chen wishes to learn of the whereabouts of Tianxin Grass, you must agree to one condition of mine. If you can fulfill this request, I will provide the information on Tianxin Grass imdiately.”
“What do you think of this, Daoist Chen?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming also seed puzzled.
In his heart, he understood that Sun Liancheng must have certain conditions for revealing the whereabouts of Tianxin Grass.
Otherwise, they were rely strangers who t by chance; there was no reason for him to provide the information for free.
Understanding this, Lin Tianming asked directly, “What conditions do you have, Daoist Sun? Please speak frankly. As long as my wife and I can accomplish it, or if the price paid is equivalent, we will not refuse.”
Seeing Lin Tianming speak thusly, Sun Liancheng hesitated for a mont before slowly starting to speak.
“Daoist Chen, my condition is to ask both of you fellow Daoists to assist in the pursuit and assassination of a fellow Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator.”
“That cultivator has a feud with , and with both of you joining forces with , I believe it will not take much effort to eliminate my enemy.”
“When that ti cos, I will naturally hand over the exact whereabouts of Tianxin Grass with both hands, how about that?”
“Oh?”
Lin Tianming was sowhat surprised; he had thought that Sun Liancheng would demand a barter, but he had not expected such a condition.
Regaining his composure, Lin Tianming, out of curiosity, still posed a question.
“May I inquire who your adversary is? And what is their background and identity?”
“Surely I cannot agree to this lightly without knowing anything; end up offending an untouchable person, or provoke so major power, right?”
“Moreover, in my view, Tianxin Grass is rely a Third Order Spiritual dicine, its significant value hardly compares to encircling and killing a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator.”
“If that’s the case, should I create a new enemy just for the trail of Tianxin Grass?”
“Wouldn’t such an outco be considered losing the bigger picture for sothing minor?”
Lin Tianming fired these questions in succession, his expression filled with a look of difficulty.
On the contrary, Sun Liancheng had anticipated these words and seed prepared.
Under such circumstances, Sun Liancheng spoke frankly: “What Daoist has ntioned, I am not opposed to.”
“As for my adversary, they hail from the Cultivation World of Lingyu Country, known as Tan Zhiyao.”
“Daoist Chen can rest assured, Tan Zhiyao, just like myself, is an Independent Cultivator, not part of any power, nor does he have connections or entanglents with those major powers.”
“Such a person, I’m afraid even if they die, no one will trouble you about it.”
“Moreover, the news of this encirclent and killing, including the passage, is known only to the few of us, hence it will definitely not leak out, naturally, it will not involve you two in unnecessary trouble.”
“I’m also clear on what Daoist Chen ans.”
“It must be said, though the value of Tianxin Grass is not low, rely relying on information alone indeed does not compare with asking for the two esteed Daoists’ intervention.”
“Thus, I’m willing to offer up five thousand dium-grade Spirit Stones as compensation, also considered fair remuneration for the efforts of both esteed Daoists.”
“Besides, after Tan Zhiyao dies, the treasures on his person and in his storage bag, I only need to select two pieces first, the rest will belong entirely to the two esteed Daoists.”
“I wonder what you think of these terms?”
Having said these words, Sun Liancheng looked at Lin Tianming and his wife with an earnest face, his eyes brimming with anticipation.
While internally, he felt sowhat anxious and tense.
These emotions, however, were excellently concealed by Sun Liancheng; even with Lin Tianming’s strong Divine Sense and higher Cultivation Realm, he was incapable of seeing through people’s hearts.
At this mont, upon hearing Sun Liancheng’s explanation, Lin Tianming was also dubious.
Simultaneously, Lin Tianming was also pondering in secret whether to agree to such terms.
In his heart, if things were as described, Sun Liancheng’s offer did indeed seem worth intervening once for him and his wife.
After all, his and his wife’s strength was formidable, and killing a Mid Stage Golden Core Cultivator, while not guaranteed an easy task, wouldn’t be too arduous, naturally implying minimal risk.
However, he still had to inquire a bit more about Tan Zhiyao’s exact origins and other important information before deciding.
After all, he was currently in the heartlands of Qingzhou.
Here, Golden Core Stage Cultivators were common, and there were many lineages that had been passed down for ten thousand years; even Nascent Soul Cultivators could be found.
Although he coveted the Tianxin Grass, it was not essential for cultivation.
If necessary, he could also consider other ans to replace the Tianxin Grass to help Qin Xi break through a bottleneck.
More crucially, he did not wish to expose his movents and identity for the sake of Tianxin Grass, lest it drag him into bigger trouble or even establish a powerful enemy for the Lin Family.
Therefore, Lin Tianming had to consider more thoroughly.
However, if it was truly as Sun Liancheng had said, that Tan Zhiyao had no involvent with any major power, taking action might be acceptable.
Recognizing this, Lin Tianming did not outright reject Sun Liancheng’s proposition.
But wary of potential trouble afterward, Lin Tianming ntioned he would think about it and give a specific reply later.
Sun Liancheng, having expected Lin Tianming’s explanation, thus did not press for specific reasons.
Subsequently, Lin Tianming and Sun Liancheng agreed to respond in three days.
Sun Liancheng had no objections to this.
Following so final advice to Lin Tianming, Sun Liancheng then took his leave first and quickly departed the tavern.
