第两千二百三十三章 药王谷

What?

Even though Lin Xuan's will was as firm and resolute as that of an ordinary person, he couldn't help but bristle at the other party's words. He raised his right hand, sending a spell out from his fingertips.

The red light immediately dimmed, no longer shooting towards the Sky Ghost Senior Immortal, yet it still enveloped him densely to exert intimidation.

"How do you know this?"

Lin Xuan's cold voice entered his ears, and his face darkened to an extreme. He hated when things slipped beyond his control. How did the other party manage to see through this secret?

"Friend, don't misunderstand. I'm just guessing. After this lesson, I dare not harbor any evil thoughts towards you," said the Sky Ghost Senior Immortal with a look of lingering fear on his face. His spirit energy was already depleted; another injury would mean nothing but his soul and essence dissipating.

"Is that so?" Lin Xuan no longer believed in his flattering words: "Guessing, how did you guess? If I recall correctly, you know nothing about my background."

"Do not be angry, friend. Indeed, I don't know your background. However, as someone who has roamed the Demon Realm for tens of thousands of years, this experience is very rich. Since you are a cultivator and at the Profound Concealment stage, it goes without saying that you must be from the Spirit Realm to participate in the spirit division trial," said the Sky Ghost Senior Immortal.

"Ah, I see." Hearing his explanation, Lin Xuan's face softened slightly. This made sense, and he could tell this time the other party wasn't lying.

However, he still didn't withdraw his sword energy. He had already tasted the bitter pill once; he couldn't afford to be careless with this old fellow anymore.

"You know my purpose for coming here, do you also know where the spirit herbs needed for the spirit division pills grow? I warn you, don't speak nonsense or else, friend, you will find yourself unable to live and unwilling to die," said Lin Xuan.

"The places where those spirit herbs grow are indeed known by me...," the Sky Ghost Senior Immortal said as he secretly glanced at Lin Xuan's face. Seeing that although Lin Xuan was pleased, his expression didn't waver in the slightest, he sighed inwardly. This guy has excellent self-control.

Lin Xuan wasn't anxious; this old monster was now under his control, like a fish on a chopping board—nobody could escape his clutches.

"Friend, you know that spirit herbs needed for the spirit division pills are against nature. Although they grow better in the Demon Realm compared to the Spirit Realm, they remain very rare," said Lin Xuan with a hint of cold sarcasm.

"Indeed." Nodding, he added: "Your words make sense. But I suggest you don't sell me short on this matter; otherwise..."

"What? You think I'm lying?" The Sky Ghost Senior Immortal's face turned red: "Do you really believe that I would enslave myself?"

In an instant, his face became hideous as he said with a heavy tone: "You should know, even when facing the Ancient Demon Ancestor, old man never submitted."

Before he could finish speaking, a light laugh entered their ears: "A hero doesn't boast of past glories. Old monster, what do you think you are? Still the Sky Ghost Senior Immortal who roamed the Demon Realm? Now that things have come to this, you're just a solitary soul wandering in the wilderness; what qualifications do you have to negotiate with me?"

"You..."

The Sky Ghost Senior Immortal was furious. A man could be killed but not humiliated. The other party had gone too far and wanted to argue, but Lin Xuan didn't waste any time. He flicked his sleeve and sent a spell out, followed by intense light. The fiery sword beams once again shot around the Sky Ghost Senior Immortal, causing continuous screams.

This alarmed the Sky Ghost Senior Immortal. He never imagined that Lin Xuan would be so domineering. If he hesitated any longer, he might face eternal damnation. After a moment of struggle, he finally shouted loudly: "Friend, stop! It's all my fault; if you spare me, I'll serve as your ghost slave. With my help, you can easily gather the spirit materials needed for the spirit division pills, and there are countless other benefits..."

"Oh?" Lin Xuan's lips curled with sarcasm. Truly, he was defying his fate by refusing an offer of wine. But his purpose had been achieved; he flicked his sleeve to stop the sword light from attacking.

The Sky Ghost Senior Immortal's situation was dire. If they continued fighting, it would end in his soul and essence dissipating.

A small black wooden tablet about half a palm wide flew out of Lin Xuan’s sleeve.

"Since you agreed to serve me, hand over your soul and essence."

"This..." The Sky Ghost Senior Immortal hesitated as the situation became critical. Who wouldn't want to be free from someone's control?
