Chapter 1018: Chapter 17: Blood Emperor Lei Tu [Combined Chapters]_2 Chapter 1018: Chapter 17: Blood Emperor Lei Tu [Combined Chapters]_2 Feng Yin wore a helpless expression. “I am now in the heart of your base, unfamiliar with the surroundings, utterly in the dark. You are all high-level experts above the clouds, even possessing the strength of the Nine Colors Supreme… Are you really afraid that I, a mere local snake, will run away? Since we are talking about cooperation, shouldn’t there be at least a bit of sincerity?”

“That’s indeed true, Young Master makes a valid point.”

Jinmian was genuinely not worried about him running away.

Where would he go?

Any random person here has a higher cultivation level than this guy. Even if he dared to run, it would be easy to catch him and bring him back.

As an elite disciple of the Heavenly Sword Cloud Palace, since he’s leaning towards compromise, he wouldn’t suddenly lose his mind and act impulsively.

“The Young Master’s words make sense. I will release you now.”

Jinmian chuckled, patted him with his hand, and just like that, the restrictions on Feng Yin’s meridians were lifted.

Feng Yin felt an immediate relief throughout his body, with vital energy flowing freely again. He said brusquely, “You should also prepare some top-grade spirit crystals for my cultivation, right? Since I’m not a prisoner but rather a guest—and an honored one at that—surely you wouldn’t withhold the resources for cultivation, right?”

Jinmian’s eyes widened. “What did you say?”

“I said prepare some spirit crystals for me to cultivate.”

Feng Yin’s tone grew more assertive, “Everyone here is a cultivator, so how can you not understand? Continuous cultivation is essential. If I can’t cultivate as usual, won’t my cultivation level fall significantly by the time I return? How can I cultivate without the proper resources from you?”

“…”

Jinmian was speechless. “Young Master Dong, aren’t you wearing a Space Ring on your hand? We didn’t confiscate your ring, did we?”

“What kind of talk is that? My Space Ring, my cultivation resources are my business!”

Feng Yin said, “But now it’s you who have kidnapped me here, relying on me to negotiate success. Are you really going to be stingy about some cultivation resources?”

“…What?”

Jinmian felt dizzy, “You are being treated here with no less respect than a guest. You are provided with food, clothing, and shelter, all of the finest quality!”

“I’m talking to you about cultivation resources, which are the utmost priority for a cultivator. What’s the use of getting all those incidental benefits? What happened to the promised sincerity?”

“…”

“Besides, is this what you call hospitality for a guest, for an honored guest, to have them fend for themselves even when it comes to a small amount of cultivation resources?”

“…”

Jinmian sighed, “So, will you help or not?”

“What have we been talking about all this while if not helping out?”

Feng Yin patted his chest, “Having put forward conditions, how could I possibly not help? If I help, I am an honored guest. If not, I am still a prisoner. Do you think I don’t understand the difference?”

“That’s good.”

Jinmian sighed again and pulled out a pile of spirit crystals from his own ring—two thousand pieces: “Is this enough?”

“This amount of spirit crystals will probably last a few days, about ten days, I guess!”

“…??”

Jinmian staggered, “Ten days?”

“Yes, my daily cultivation needs are nearly two hundred top-grade spirit crystals.”

Feng Yin said matter-of-factly, “These here should last me about ten days without a problem!”

Jinmian suddenly went silent.

He took a deep breath and then asked, “Young Master Dong, did you say you’re not even a hundred years old yet?”

Feng Yin laughed heartily, “Strictly speaking, I’m not even seventy yet. At this age, if I were from an ordinary family, I would be enjoying my grandchildren’s company… Yet here I am, still chaste.”

Jinmian’s gaze changed, “You’re still chaste? Ungarnished?”

Feng Yin responded indifferently, “With the pinnacle in sight, how could I pause? For a mere night’s pleasure, I would not ruin a legacy that could last for all eternity!”

Jinmian was speechless for a long while. Finally letting out a desolate sigh, his eyes were filled with complexities.

Looking at Feng Yin, his eyes showed a mix of emotions—envy, responsibility, admiration, appreciation, dread, and even a faint glimmer of killing intent.

“You’re not seriously thinking of killing me?”

Feng Yin chuckled, tilting his head.

“I did entertain the thought.”

Jinmian’s gaze suddenly turned as fierce as a vulture’s, intensely fixing on Feng Yin. Feng Yin met his gaze with a light smile, showing no sign of weakness.

“If time could be rewound a hundred years, I certainly would have killed you,” Jinmian said gravely.

“Oh?”

“Do you know how old I was when I reached your current realm?”

“How old?”

“One thousand seven hundred years…”

Jinmian said wistfully, “And you, not even seventy, still chaste… I don’t admire your incredibly rapid progress in cultivation or envy your natural talent. Those are innate and beyond comparison—there’s no shortage of people with higher talents than you or me. What I admire, and even hate you for, is that in the prime of youth, you have the restraint to abstain from women.”

“That youthful impulse is the hardest for a man to control… Sigh.”

“You’re more patient than us; your cultivation is faster. Coupled with your innate talent… Given time, you will inevitably become a great threat, possibly even surpass us and kick us once you’ve climbed over. The future is almost predictable, so why not kill you while I still have the chance, to end it quickly and cleanly.”

Feng Yin laughed heartily, “So what you’re saying is, someone who is already better than us but still works harder, that’s the gist, right?”

Jinmian didn’t laugh, but said seriously, “Yes!”

Feng Yin laughed uproariously, exuding an arrogant air.
