Chapter 420: Chapter Two Hundred and Eighty-Three: Found a Treasure_2

"However, it’s a pity that the one who isn’t loyal is me, given that, let Yi Kui and Qin Yuan split these eight boxes of Elixir Medicine."

"....." Li Xing.

Qin Yuan and Yi Kui glanced at Li Xing, who was still standing, without any plea for mercy, and unanimously said:

"Thank you for the gift, young master."

Xu Yuan smiled slightly and slowly squatted down, looking at the two Great Grandmasters of the Underground City:

"Don’t rush to thank me yet. More than loyalty, I actually appreciate capable people."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan casually tossed out the cultivation technique of the Black Scale Army:

"This is a Low-Rank Martial Apprentice Technique. After leaving this Underground Palace, my people from the Prime Minister’s Mansion will come down in as little as three months or as many as one year. By the time they save you out, I hope the number of warriors here can be increased tenfold on the existing base."

As he spoke,

he paused, then took out a record of the Black Scale Army:

"Also, I hope you can train those warriors strictly in accordance with the methods recorded in this book. I don’t want to see them as a rabble when I see them on the surface as they are now."

Qin Yuan pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice:

"Young master, although these pills can help increase cultivation, the Origin Qi in the Underground City..."

"Thud!"

Before he finished speaking.

A slightly smaller box landed on the ground, the lid flipped open, and the white dazzling Source Crystals inside made it hard to open the eyes.

"There are thirty Source Crystals in this box, which should be enough to compensate for the deficiency of Origin Qi in the Underground City."

Li Xing, looking at the Source Crystals in the box, clenched his fist and trembled slightly.

Qin Yuan glanced over and slowly raised his eyes to look into Xu Yuan’s eyes, softly asking:

"Young master is willing to pay such a huge price. You must need the loyalty of the citizens of the Underground City, right?"

"Hahaha....."

Xu Yuan laughed heartily, raising his hand to pat Qin Yuan’s shoulder: "Although you have suggested killing me, you are quite clever, a smart person, I appreciate that."

"I do indeed need their loyalty to be ruthless towards death for me. Can you do that?"

Without any hesitation, Qin Yuan’s head "thudded" squarely onto the cold stone surface, his tone cold and decisive:

"I can."

Xu Yuan shook his head and said again:

"Remember, it’s loyalty to me alone."

Qin Yuan’s voice remained without any hesitation:

"I will not disappoint you, young master."

"Very well."

Xu Yuan laughed softly, raising his hand to press on Qin Yuan’s head:

"Don’t resist, let me see what cultivation technique suits you."

His will-spirit reached out, and Xu Yuan checked this solemn Great Grandmaster’s meridians, his eyes revealing a touch of interest:

"One hundred and three unobstructed meridians, among which thirty-six are especially spacious and resilient. This... should be a pure yang constitution."

Li Qingyan, who was beside him, upon hearing these words, had a flicker of interest in her eyes, and in a clear voice said:

"A pure yang constitution? Having a pure yang constitution practice the common cultivation techniques of your Prime Minister’s Mansion is somewhat wasteful. I have a Fire System Technique here that is more suited for him..."

"No need, I have a friend who was also a pure yang constitution."

Xu Yuan shook his head, softly refusing with a smile.

It seemed that Jing Xuan from the Qionghua Secret Realm was also a pure yang constitution like Qin Yuan.

While thinking, Xu Yuan took out a cultivation technique called "Returning Yang Technique", which was the one he had practiced in the Qionghua Secret Realm.

His memories had disappeared, but through his body’s instinct, he had recreated this cultivation technique.

Handing it to Qin Yuan, Xu Yuan said in a measured tone:

"This technique is very well suited to your pure yang constitution. If you completely adapt to it, you may even double your current combat strength."

Qin Yuan’s eyes flickered, and he silently received it with both hands.

As Xu Yuan was about to call the next person over, he found that Yi Kui had eagerly moved to his feet, looking up at him with hopeful eyes:

"Young master, what about mine...?"

"Heh....."

Xu Yuan raised his hand to touch her silky hair, then after a moment, casually tossed out a grade-A lower-end generic cultivation technique:

"Your cultivation aptitude is not bad, barely passing through one hundred and seventeen meridians, but you don’t have a special constitution."

"Oh....."

Yi Kui looked somewhat disappointed, but also satisfied in her heart. She glanced at Qin Yuan beside her, a hint of understanding flashing in her eyes.

No wonder this guy, although not progressing fast in cultivation, has astonishing combat capabilities. He actually has a special constitution.

"Clap clap!"

Having done all this, Xu Yuan clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention to him, standing in the center with a gentle smile and said:

"Since your Fate Division has now sold you to this young master, you are one of us, and this young master has always been generous to his own people."

As he spoke,

Xu Yuan looked around at the circle of people, then abruptly pivoting, the temperature in his voice dropped sharply:

"But remember, I despise betrayal. If anyone dares to betray me, as easily as I have given to you, I can take it back."

Having said that,

Xu Yuan turned around to leave when Bai Muxi tugged at the corner of his robe:

"Young Master... and Li Xing."

"Mu Xi ah..."

Xu Yuan turned his gaze back to Bai Muxi, who was pulling at his robe, gently stroked his hair at the temples, and asked with a gentle, teasing laugh:

"Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

"....."

Bai Muxin’s pupils contracted, and she immediately knelt down, hastily saying:

"It was... overstepping on Mu Xi’s part."

"Heh."

Xu Yuan chuckled coldly, looking at the only one standing other than Li Qingyan—Li Xing:

"Your name is Li Xing, right? Your temperament reminds me of an old friend of mine."

"......"

Underneath his robe, Li Xing clenched his fists, but said nothing.

Xu Yuan chuckled and stepped closer to Li Xing, continuing to speak:

"His name is Qin Mo, like you, a man of proud bones, unwilling to submit to others, refusing to easily yield to power.

"However, he is somewhat different from you. My friend’s pride is built upon his talent, his resilience, his innate gifts.

"As for you, I truly cannot see where your pride comes from."

Speaking unhurriedly, Xu Yuan went on to say:

"I, actually, am quite magnanimous.

"My demands for my subordinates are not high; as long as you are capable, my tolerance can far exceed your imagination. You might harbor other thoughts, even hate me, but it’s a pity you don’t seem to have the ability."

Xu Yuan raised his hand and patted Li Xing’s cheek:

"Look at those eyes of yours, wishing you could kill me... How much breadth of spirit can someone who can’t even hide the most basic emotions have?"

"......"

Bai Muxi slowly lowered her head.

After a few breaths, a pair of Cloud-Stepping Boots approached her, and a slender finger tipped her chin up; he stared into her beautiful eyes:

"I really dislike others coveting my possessions, but I also hate to break promises, so I will save Li Xing as I promised, but that’s all I will do—save him."

Having said that,

Xu Yuan looked at Qin Yuan, his voice cold with command:

"With Mu Xi absent, Qin Yuan, you will take full responsibility for all matters in the Underground City. As for Li Xing... his men will be directly divided between you and Yi Kui.

"Qin Yuan, can you do it?"

"......"

Qin Yuan stood up from the ground with an expressionless face, silently preparing to bow when he suddenly vanished from Xu Yuan’s sight.

A wind stirred in the silent and dark stone hall,

and when Qin Yuan reappeared, he was already beside Li Xing, his hand engulfed in black flames, plunged directly through Li Xing’s chest.

"Splash—"

Withdrawing his hand, Qin Yuan casually shook off the vivid blood, which splattered onto the ground.

"Aaah..."

A mouthful of blood mixed with viscera sprayed out as Li Xing knelt onto the cold ground, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked up at the figure standing before him.

He was completely unprepared; he never expected Qin Yuan to strike at him suddenly.

Why?

The young master in brocade robes hadn’t ordered it, so why had he made a move to kill?

As the blood spilled, Li Xing opened his mouth:

"Qin... Qin Yuan... you..."

"I didn’t want to kill you with my own hands, but it seems you did not heed my warning,"

Qin Yuan looked down at him from above, his gaze calm, his indifferent voice echoing in Li Xing’s ears: "Li Xing, I won’t allow anyone to ruin this chance to save the Underground City, not even a sliver of a chance."

Having said that, black flames burst from Li Xing’s chest where the wound spread.

In the midst of the struggle of the person behind him,

Qin Yuan turned away, kneeling half-bent towards Xu Yuan, bowing his head:

"Rest assured, young master, Qin Yuan will surely accomplish this."
