Chapter 312: Chapter 311: Trading with Divinity Transformation

The next moment, the barrier disappeared.

Then, Chaoruo’s familiar voice came through, "Come in."

"Yes, I’m coming in right now," Xie Jiuniang replied specifically before stepping lightly into the room.

To her shock, she saw Chaoruo sitting alone inside, while a small tea table beside him had a cup of Spiritual Tea steaming hot.

Jian Lingyan immediately reminded her, "Little master, be careful, there’s not just Sect Master Chaoruo here, there’s someone else too."

"Someone else?"

Xie Jiuniang felt a flash of surprise in her heart.

The quiet room was large, but everything was in plain sight; it was impossible to hide a person.

Chaoruo took on the aura of the Sect Master; his presence was so strong it commanded respect, making one dare not act rashly.

Since the tribute of Monkey Wine on several occasions, her master had always deliberately restrained his presence every time they met, but this time he had not...

When she met Chaoruo’s gaze, she immediately realized it.

It was a reminder.

Just a very subtle one.

Xie Jiuniang quickly straightened her attitude, lowered her gaze as she stepped forward to pay respects, "Disciple Yuanxi pays respects to Sect Master Teacher Uncle."

Chaoruo picked up his tea and said seriously, "Speak, what brings you here?"

"I wanted to ask about my master’s situation," Xie Jiuniang changed her original intention to something related to Chaoyan, "According to my calculations, master should be returning to the sect by now."

"Your master has sent a message back, he’s on his way," Chaoruo’s lips curved slightly upward.

This was something to be happy about.

Xie Jiuniang knew that coming here, she couldn’t just ask a question, especially with someone watching in the shadows, so she reluctantly took out a small jar of Monkey Wine, "Teacher Uncle, this is something I brought specially for you as a tribute."

Chaoruo’s eyes brightened slightly, and with a wave of his hand,

The wine jar that was in Xie Jiuniang’s hands transferred to Chaoruo’s.

Just as he was about to store it in his Storage Ring.

Suddenly, it wouldn’t go in, and he couldn’t move it anymore.

A Divinity Transformation cultivator within the room had taken action, the wine jar swapped hands, and a clear, shallow male voice came out of nowhere, "Chaoruo, enough, stop hiding. This little girl has a secret, eh."

As the voice sounded.

A Spiritual Wood Carved Chair on the left revealed a person out of thin air, a delicate and pretty youth, who despite being a young lad, possessed an air of willowy grace.

Xie Jiuniang needed only a glance.

The thought flashed through her mind that here was another sickly character.

At that moment, another person coughed lightly, "Ying’an, don’t scare the young lady."

"Such a pretty girl, every bit of her has captured my heart," the words were quite suggestive, yet they were spoken by a female cultivator.

The Technique of invisibility was lifted, and five other people, who seemed to have pale faces and looked unwell, were sitting in the room.

This left Chaoruo with nothing more to say.

Xie Jiuniang’s face showed a timely expression of surprise.

Chaoruo asked her through direct transmission, "Little Yuanxi, they are those five seniors, what do you think?"

Xie Jiuniang nodded her head.

She took out five high-grade Spiritual Jade Boxes.

Exactly five, Chaoruo understood without asking.

Each Spiritual Jade Box was sealed with a Seal Spirit Talisman; she handed them to Chaoruo, then stepped back to stand beside him, her demeanor proper, eyes not straying, the very image of a well-mannered disciple.

On first meeting, she was quite likable.

Anyone who met her would think she was a modest and polite disciple with clear and honest eyes.

One by one, Chaoruo opened the boxes and checked them,

With each box opened, there was a moment of unstable aura, and his heart ached, so much so that it was unbearable.

The items really tempted him, but none belonged to him.

The five Spiritual Jade Boxes, upon Chaoruo’s mental command, floated in front of the five people respectively.

"These are items for the Lords. If you’re satisfied, take them; if not, we’ll exchange," Chaoruo said faintly as he looked towards Xie Jiuniang.

If it were not for his steadfast heart, he might have lost his composure.

Five people all took the Jade Box and then turned their attention to Chaoruo.

Having accepted the items, naturally there were conditions attached.

"Cough!"

Xie Jiuniang lightly coughed to draw everyone’s attention, "I would like to ask the five senior figures for a favor. I desire the life of a Divinity Transformation from the Lin Family in Yaoguang City."

Five Divinity Transformation experts to assassinate one Divinity Transformation.

This condition really wasn’t too onerous, it even seemed like they were getting half a deal.

Furthermore, the Lin Family had three Divinity Transformations.

One could choose at will, possibly picking the weakest, thus lessening the difficulty of the task.

The sickly handsome young man was none other than Lord Ying’an, who inquired, "Has the Lin Family provoked you?"

"They seem to have too much idle time recently, enough to plot against my family," Xie Jiuniang mentioned the Lin Family’s pending marriage proposal, there wasn’t anything to hide, "Among the relics left by the former master of Tianji Building was a sinister technique, a life-exchanging method, and the Lin Family also possesses it."

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expression darkened.

Chaoruo asked, "Has the Lin Family set their sights on your clan sister?"

"Exactly," Xie Jiuniang confirmed with certainty.

The room fell silent for a good while.

As expected, all five agreed.

Xie Jiuniang then relayed information about the whereabouts of two of the Lin Family’s Divinity Transformations, "These are not exact locations, but one of the Divinity Transformations from the Lin Family has gone to Yunmu City to propose marriage, and another is guarding near the Sect. As to which one they should target, I’ll leave it to the senior figures to decide."

"Is this matter urgent?" Lord Ying’an asked.

Understanding their needs, Xie Jiuniang replied, "There’s no rush. It’s not too late for the senior figures to heal and then take action."

"Thank you."

After speaking, Lord Ying’an coughed violently, his complexion turning even paler.

The other four also expressed their thanks, acknowledging the favor they owed Xie Jiuniang this time. Even though Xie Jiuniang said it was a fair trade, in reality, they still owed her a favor.

It was just a matter of how much.

Clutching their items, the five could hardly wait to leave.

Chaoruo wore a face full of emotion.

This disciple of his junior brother is truly a sly fox, excessively cunning.

Xie Jiuniang glanced sideways at Chaoruo’s emotion-filled expression and reminded him leisurely, "Senior uncle, Lord Ying’an took the Monkey Wine I gave you."

"What?"

Chaoruo finally realized what had happened, his handsome face turning dark.

Xie Jiuniang, with her hands clasped behind her back, walked out step by step.

A child displaying the poise of elders, Chaoruo’s mouth twitched.

The lost wine was irretrievable.

He was certain that the wine she had taken out at the last minute to honor him was simply an excuse she had come up with for coming to find him.

When those five showed up.

She had guessed their identities and knew there was no need to hide anymore.

Honestly, Chaoruo had never considered playing Xie Jiuniang before, even though he knew she had many treasures in her possession, "Little Yuanxi, hold on, your senior uncle would like to have a word with you."

"What does senior uncle want to talk about?" Xie Jiuniang stopped walking and turned to look at him.

Chaoruo said with a smile, "Your senior uncle has been preparing for the Divinity Transformation breakthrough for years, always feeling like something is missing. Do you have something suitable for me to use?"

Xie Jiuniang sized him up.

So, she secretly asked Jian Lingyan, "Little Jianjian, what does my senior uncle need?"

"What’s there to think about, just give him a piece of Spiritual Marrow, just like with your master."

"Spiritual Marrow won’t do, it’s less each time I use it," Xie Jiuniang thought, willing to part with at most a piece of Spirit Crystal.

Then she proceeded to pick and choose, selecting the smallest piece of Spirit Crystal - truly the smallest, only the size of a thumbnail, and with great reluctance, as if she was extremely unwilling to part with it, she handed it over to Chaoruo.

Chaoruo, "..."

Just how many tricks do you have up your sleeve, you little rascal!
