Chapter 1283: Chapter 1283: Free Things Are the Most Expensive

At this moment, Su Chengyu’s life was not the only thing at stake; after unleashing that sword strike, his soul was also rapidly dissipating in an irreversible manner.

Clenching Su Chengyu’s hands, Ye Qingci had already perceived his current state, and even as an Earth Immortal, she was utterly powerless to do anything.

"Idiot! With such an act, did you really not consider the consequences?"

Su Chengyu’s lips parted slightly as he was about to speak, but Ye Qingci glared at him again, "I told you not to talk. Don’t you understand?"

The angry expression on Ye Qingci’s face made Su Chengyu smile bitterly, and he dared not speak again. Ye Qingci’s expression warmed his heart, but Su Chengyu was all too aware of his own condition.

At this moment, whether or not he talked was completely meaningless, even though Ye Qingci was already doing her utmost to slow down the dissipation of his soul.

Su Chengyu understood that this was merely drinking poison to quench thirst, utterly useless in reality.

"Cold Moon Envoy, how is Su Chengyu doing now?"

Yang Junmo and Zhuang Yihan, who were standing by, also rushed over with concern and asked about Su Chengyu’s condition.

"No different from being dead."

Although she was reluctant to accept this fact, Ye Qingci still truthfully informed these two who had always stood united with Su Chengyu.

However, even Ye Qingci was helpless; how could these two possibly change the situation?

Understanding this, Zhuang Yihan didn’t waste words and forthrightly said, "Is there anything we can do to help?"

Ye Qingci shook her head. The two families were not small in Capital City, but relying solely on Zhuang Yihan’s relationship with Su Chengyu, the Zhuang family certainly wouldn’t exert their full effort, and as for the Yang family...

Ye Qingci didn’t ponder further but instead looked up at Long Xuan. The Long family here was the most likely to exert its full effort to help, and as for the reason...

"Your life, Long Xuan, in exchange for his life! Your family wouldn’t agree to this deal, would they?"

Long Xuan glanced at Su Chengyu and also shook his head, "Such a method of depleting the soul is unprecedented and unheard of. I am powerless as well. As for the Long family..."

"If he doesn’t live, then you must die!"

Ye Qingci’s words were somewhat agitated, but at this moment, she couldn’t care less.

And her intense words made the heart of the Housekeeper of the Long family who had come with Long Xuan tremble. After all, it had been agreed from the start that this fight to the death would determine both victory and life or death.

Since Long Xuan was defeated, his life now belonged to Su Chengyu.

Even if Ye Qingci claimed Long Xuan’s life on Su Chengyu’s behalf right now, the Long family would not dare utter a word in objection.

Long Xuan was just about to speak when the Housekeeper of the Long family interjected first.

"Cold Moon Envoy! If this youngster’s soul is damaged, a God-ranked Elixir that heals the soul can certainly save him!"

"Medicine!"

Ye Qingci spoke coldly, and the Housekeeper of the Long family immediately showed a troubled expression, "Cold Moon Envoy, to be honest, our Long family’s treasury indeed does not have a God-ranked Elixir capable of repairing the soul!"

"That’s your problem! I’ve said it, if he can’t live, then Long Xuan must die!"

Ye Qingci’s words were resolute, leaving no room for easing the situation.

The housekeeper of the Long family knew what Ye Qingci was unaware of? She knew all too well that although the Ye Family’s treasury held God-ranked elixirs, none could be used to repair God’s Soul.

Otherwise, even if Ye Wujiang would personally intervene to prevent it, she would definitely use the elixir on Su Chengyu.

This statement left the housekeeper of the Long family in a pickle. God-ranked elixirs were exceedingly difficult to come by, especially those for repairing God’s Soul.

In such a vast Capital City, if there was certainly a place that possessed them, it would undoubtedly be in the Heavenly Son’s treasure vault.

However, everyone present knew that because of Imperial Concubine Chen, it was impossible for Su Chengyu to obtain the life-saving God-ranked elixir from the Heavenly Son’s treasury.

At that moment, Long Xuan spoke, "Inside Mount Longhu, there is an elixir that can save his life. Give me one day, I will make a trip back to Mount Longhu, and I will surely..."

"One day is too short."

Ye Qingci interrupted Long Xuan abruptly and coldly.

At this moment, Ye Qingci was acutely aware of Su Chengyu’s physical condition. Su Chengyu, whose body might perish at any moment, couldn’t wait even a day longer.

After a brief moment of consideration, Ye Qingci immediately stood up with Su Chengyu in her arms. The best course of action now was for her to personally control the sword and take Su Chengyu to Mount Longhu.

However, just as Su Chengyu was about to set off, a sudden voice rang out within the Demon Slayer Department.

"Cold Moon Envoy, why go so far when what you seek is near? God-ranked elixirs, if nowhere else, are still available from the Qian family."

As soon as the voice faded, everyone’s gaze immediately shifted towards the entrance of the Demon Slayer Department. A fat middle-aged man wearing a flowery robe walked in, smiling as he entered.

Yang Junmo, catching sight of the newcomer, was startled, "The Qian family? Why have they come?"

Zhuang Yihan glanced at the newcomer and asked puzzledly, "The Qian family? Are they the ones who own half of Xia Country’s golden mountains?"

Yang Junmo nodded and then said to the man in the flowery robe, "Qian Family’s third son, Qian Jinchí. This guy is the Qian family’s representative in the Capital City."

Inside Xia Country’s borders, there were two great financial aristocratic families, the Qian family and the Shen Clan.

Both had a long-standing history in Xia Country, and there were always rumors saying that the combined treasuries of both families could not even be compared with that of the Heavenly Son.

Ye Qingci, who had not anticipated the Qian family’s appearance, was also slightly frowning in surprise. The Qian family, which typically didn’t get involved in the Capital City’s overt and covert strife, should not have shown up here as per usual.

The Qian family’s business did not primarily cater to the inside of Xia Country, but rather focused more on trade between Xia Country and foreign nations.

Of course, their trade goods were never merely ordinary items, ranging from cultivation techniques to elixirs and magical treasures. It could be said that as long as you had the money, there was nothing you couldn’t buy from the Qian family.

However, compared to the mixed bag that was the Nine Heavens Dark Web, the Qian family’s focus was on high-end luxury items. While the goods were of premium quality, the prices were also terrifyingly high, and even abroad, only the royal families or large clans had the means to trade with the Qian family.

The Qian family’s products were famously overpriced. Often for the same amount of money, one could purchase twice or even more of the same goods through the Nine Heavens Dark Web or other channels.

Even among the wealthy in the Capital City, very few were willing to do business with the Qian family.

However, at the moment, it seemed Ye Qingci had no other choice. She looked at Qian Jinchí and asked, "What does your Qian family want?"

But Qian Jinchí, upon hearing Ye Qingci’s words, just shook his head, "My Qian family wants nothing. The God-ranked elixir for treating God’s Soul, well, consider it a gift to this young talent who outshines Long Xuan."

Everyone was shocked to hear this, and Ye Qingci also frowned without saying anything for a while.

Even though Ye Qingci had absolutely no reason to refuse, she had to consider it more carefully at this moment.

After all, the most expensive things are always those that come for free.
