第四百零六章 各取所需

Lin Xuan cursed loudly in his heart. Qiang was indeed a cunning old fox, no wonder the Hundred Poison Divine King could so easily hand over this treasure to him. It turned out it was just bait all along.

First, give a little sweetness. Make him jump into the trap even though he knew it was one. This move was truly venomous.

However, Lin Xuan quickly regained his calm expression. Regardless of anything else, the initiative still lay in his hands. If he could successfully form an embryo in the future and have confidence to eliminate the Primordial Essence Ancestor, why not borrow some of his essence blood? After all, it would be a way for him to seek revenge on the Hundred Poison Divine King.

Before that, he might as well refrain from using this ancient fragment. He had already learned one secret technique for free without losing anything; in fact, he gained more benefits.

The Hundred Poison Divine King was cunning and clearly saw through Lin Xuan's thoughts. But there was nothing he could do. His remaining lifespan was limited, and he had no other choice but to rely on this young man before him. Moreover, he believed that after Lin Xuan experienced the infinite power of that secret technique, he would be unable to resist the temptation to learn other techniques from the ancient fragment.

This young man's success in forming an embryo at such a young age indicated great potential for the future. His chances of becoming a Primordial Essence cultivator were not insignificant. The old fellow named Huan Yuan could no longer enjoy his life; someone would take revenge on him.

The two had their own plans, and the cunning old fox and the young fox exchanged knowing glances.

"Alright, Senior, I will do what you request when I have the ability. There is something else I need to ask," Lin Xuan put the jade cylinders back into his storage bracelet with a smile fading away.

"Oh? Tell me. If it helps, I won't hesitate."

"For a senior like you, it's just a simple effort." Lin Xuan smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth: "Junior heard about a safe path in an ancient ruins. Since Senior has been to Youzhou, you must know this place. Therefore..."

Lin Xuan did not finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear. However, the Hundred Poison Divine King did not immediately respond; instead, he looked at him coldly.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

"Youth, I believe your words are true. But the Mo Yue Clan can only survive because of this Qinyin Mountain. If you tell me about that path, wouldn't I be a千古罪人 (a person who brings eternal shame to his clan)? What if you have evil intentions..." The Hundred Poison Divine King's expression was somewhat cold.

"Senior, rest assured. Junior can swear on my life. Besides, you gave me your clan treasure; do you still care about the Mo Yue Clan's survival?"

"Youth, you must understand that I hate the Huan Yuan rogue alone. Giving you our clan treasure is part of a deal to take his head. This has nothing to do with the Mo Yue Clan. After all, I am a native witch and have already said that I will not believe any empty vows."

"Sorry, Junior spoke out of turn." Lin Xuan bowed; now seeking help from him, he naturally could not anger this old monster: "But Senior, if you don't tell me the path, how can I leave here? I cannot stay in Qinyin Mountain forever.

"

"Do not worry. Since I want you to avenge me, I will not let you perish. I won't tell you the path, but there are other methods."

"Other methods?" Lin Xuan's expression was stunned; this was unexpected!

"Yes, besides the ancient one-way teleportation array passed down by our clan elders, old man discovered another ancient one-way teleportation array early in my life. Using it can also return to Youzhou." The Hundred Poison Divine King slowly spoke.

Lin Xuan had no objections. A teleportation array was safer and more convenient than traveling through the Qinyin Mountain. However, what the other said next almost made him want to curse loudly.

"That terrain is peculiar with many monsters. Well, youth, a third-stage monster shouldn't be a problem for your cultivation. But be careful not to get surrounded. And there's also a fourth-stage transformed creature there; you should avoid it."

"Fourth stage?" Lin Xuan's face turned extremely ugly. That was almost on par with the power of a Primordial Essence cultivator, and he opened his mouth to argue. However, the other interrupted him: "Youth, no need for much talk. I will never tell you that path under any circumstances."

Lin Xuan sighed; the other's attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Now give me an empty jade cylinder and carve in the location of the teleportation array."

"Alright." Lin Xuan was a straightforward person; since there was no point in arguing further, he put his divine sense into the storage bracelet to find an empty jade cylinder.

Although the Hundred Poison Divine King had lost both arms above the elbows, making him appear like a cripple, his divine sense was not inferior to that of a Primordial Essence cultivator. With mental force holding the jade cylinder, it took almost no time for him to carve in the map. Lin Xuan checked it and put it away.

"Is there anything else you need to ask, Senior?"

The Hundred Poison Divine King was taken aback, showing some impatience: "Youth, why so many things? Just say everything at once."

This old monster wasn't a patient person either; however, he had to endure his temper because of Lin Xuan's help in avenging him.

"Nothing big. I heard that the Mo Yue Clan has Essence Gold Fruit..."

Lin Xuan had just said this when the other's expression changed abruptly: "Youth, are you trying to get our holy tree? Truly not one of us, your heart must be evil. What malicious thoughts do you have towards my Mo Yue Clan?"

It was no wonder the Hundred Poison Divine King was so agitated. Lin Xuan was a Condensation Core cultivator with high rank; even though he was a genius, he never imagined that Lin Xuan lacked a spiritual root. He asked about the Essence Gold Fruit because he wanted to destroy his clan's holy tree, which would significantly reduce the growth rate of witches. This was a treacherous strategy to cut off the roots.

Seeing the divine king's expression, Lin Xuan naturally guessed his thoughts and hurriedly smiled in explanation: "Senior, I misunderstood you; Junior has no ill will towards your noble family. I asked about the Essence Gold Fruit because my secular friend lacks a spiritual root and cannot embark on the path of cultivation. Therefore..."
