Chapter 462: Chapter 217: The Betrayal of the Spirit Cultivator

Shen Qionglin had already developed a standard procedure to summon the No.4 Spirit Cultivator.

First step, assemble the Stone Plate.

Second step, use a spiritual impact to lightly attack the Stone Plate.

Third step, when the Stone Plate begins to tentatively spread light, say in a detached tone, "The method (circuit) you gave me last time was obviously wrong."

Then, the white-haired old man in a huff would emerge from the white light, shouting at Shen Qionglin:

"How could it possibly be wrong! Don’t test my patience anymore! You, this genius, are nothing special in my eyes... Oh! That demon!"

The No.4 Spirit Cultivator turned to leave.

Wang Jixuan said with a smile, "Don’t you want to chat? I’ll be heading to Snow Mountain Base soon to capture other Spirit Cultivators; it should take about half a month to set out."

[Bamboozling Fundamentals: A mix of true and false information often wins the trust of the bamboozled.]

As expected, the No.4 Spirit Cultivator paused in his tracks.

He looked at Wang Jixuan with a frown, a hint of contemplation in his eyes, and asked in a serious tone:

"You’re going to capture my companions, and I’m supposed to help you? Doesn’t that seem absurd? Also, where is Snow Mountain Base?"

"Keep pretending,"

Wang Jixuan replied impatiently, his eyes narrowing slightly:

"You slipped up before, and the one in charge of Snow Mountain Base, Xing Dian, is about to hand over that Spirit Cultivator to the Six Elders."

The No.4 Spirit Cultivator fell silent.

It seemed that he just remembered how he had been continuously bested in previous encounters with Wang Jixuan.

His shadowy figure chuckled sheepishly, speaking softly, "That shouldn’t be possible, the comrades in the Snow Mountain probably don’t like those three over there."

"Oh?" Wang Jixuan nodded slowly, "I guessed right... To be honest, I’ve just had a frank, direct, and deep exchange with Galino."

Shen Qionglin’s eyes lit up at the side.

So many new research topics!

Wang Jixuan observed the expression of the No.4 carefully and said with a smile, "In exchange for information, it talked a lot about you, like how you arrived, how six of you broke out of an encirclement, and that you came to this planet on purpose, searching for something precious. It even mentioned a lot more, for instance, that the Spirit Cultivator civilization originated from this planet."

The No.4 Spirit Cultivator’s expression changed noticeably.

He looked at Wang Jixuan with furrowed brows and said in a deep voice, "You’re a bit too unexpected... Are you planning to team up with the Blade Beasts?"

"It depends on who offers the higher price."

Wang Jixuan shrugged nonchalantly.

"Here’s something you might not like to hear.

"Galino is much more agreeable than you, with just one demand: the eradication of the Spirit Cultivator civilization."

The No.4 Spirit Cultivator remained silent, his gaze flickering.

Clearly, the bits of information revealed by Wang Jixuan had a significant impact on him.

Everything should be done in moderation, especially when bamboozling; too much is as bad as not enough.

Wang Jixuan looked around, just about to summon a folding chair.

Suddenly, a maid appeared and brought a Daoist Master a simple inflatable sofa.

Mu Dan, whose figure seemed to have slimmed down a bit, stood composedly behind Wang Jixuan.

Just like before she was sent back to the factory.

Wang Jixuan glanced back at her and noticed that Mu Dan had barely changed in appearance; he said nothing, his mouth curving into a slight smile as he continued to watch the No.4 Spirit Cultivator before him.

The biggest risk inside the Snow Mountain Base was the potential existence of a Spirit Cultivator.

If every Spirit Cultivator had a spire, a complete set of heritage, then that Spirit Cultivator hidden in Snow Mountain would also command a large force of Spirit Slaves.

That was the biggest problem.

Spirit Cultivators were able to exchange information among themselves, and they didn’t seem to get along with each other. Wang Jixuan wanted to take advantage of this, hoping to pry out some new intelligence.

About five or six minutes later.

The No.4 Spirit Cultivator sighed, saying softly, "Things have completely spiraled out of our control."

It had begun.

Daoist Wang didn’t respond, merely watching in silence.

The No.4 Spirit Cultivator was clearly lacking in confidence.

"What do you want to know from me? And what can you offer me?"

"That depends on what you can tell me," said Wang Jixuan, "I am actually still hesitating whether to go to Snow Mountain Base or not. My power can continue to increase, which I’m sure you have long noticed; delaying for a while, say half a year, a year, wouldn’t be a bad thing for me."

"No, you can’t afford to delay."

The No.4 Spirit Cultivator’s gaze became more piercing:

"Since you seek an equal conversation, I will talk to you as an equal.

"Based on the information I have, you did indeed communicate with Galino, but you rejected Galino, and moreover, you killed one of them with your own hands... Even though there’s still a distance from killing.

"I have already seen through Xiao Shen’s little scheme; you all want to trick me into revealing various messages, right?

"Actually, there’s no need to underestimate us that much.

"We are like six ghosts, quietly watching this world, searching for the thing we wish to find, and attempting to cultivate a large army of Spirit Slaves."

Wang Jixuan retorted sarcastically, "An army of Spirit Slaves? Don’t tell me it’s Spiritual Ability City; all the power there combined, could they possibly stand against a group of sub-king Blade Beasts following a Pillar Level Blade Beast?"

"Indeed, we are now at a complete disadvantage. The intelligence of those Galino and the Pillar Level Blade Beasts far exceeds our imagination."

The No.4 Spirit Cultivator crossed his arms, his aged face transitioning into a middle-aged one, his expression rebellious.

This perhaps was his true appearance.

He looked at Shen Qionglin beside Wang Jixuan and said indifferently:

"The six of us can not only contact each other in emergencies but also share information we consider valuable; this is written into the protocol of our Core Circuit.
