When Old Immortals Met, Their Eyes Turned Red
Wang Xuan was overjoyed and extremely happy!
But he didn't dare laugh here; instead, he had a serious expression on his face, as if he was worried that he wouldn't be able to complete the mission.
He was carefully examining these precious treasures, all of which were made by Transcendent Immortals!
This was the first time he had ever obtained an artifact from behind the Great Curtain, and he was quite unsettled. From it, he also deduced some extremely important things.
The world behind the Great Curtain is not just a spiritual world; physical objects can also enter it, as evidenced by the things in our hands!
The Ascension Divine Bamboo golden yellow all over, no longer than a thumb, but it is very heavy.
It was covered with at least several thousand tiny symbols, so densely packed and complex that even Wang Xuan felt dizzy looking at it.
That Demon Immortals really put in a lot of effort to capture him!
What would happen if a sharpened bamboo stalk were inserted into a body? Wang Xuan had all sorts of guesses. Would it directly open the Inner Scenery Realm and then guide that Demon Immortals?
"Find an opportunity to insert it into the pig's head!" Wang Xuan wanted to infuriate that Demon Immortals.
But he quickly dismissed the idea; it would be too wasteful. The golden bamboo was engraved with so many runes, it was definitely not an ordinary extraordinary artifact.
He felt that good steel should be used where it's needed most, and this bamboo would definitely come in handy in the future, so he should keep it for now and see who he needed to nail to later.
The silver hairpin is delicate and elegant; one can imagine it tucked into a woman's hair, and the charm of her turning her head and smiling.
Of course, the thought of it being some kind of Demon Immortals made him both suspicious and... want to laugh!
Unexpectedly, he even managed to get his hands on that Demon Immortals's hairpin, and he gently stroked it with his hand.
Unfortunately, this extraordinary hairpin could only be used twice; it was a consumable item. But he had no complaints. A treasure bestowed upon him by an enemy immortal was worth making good use of.
Most importantly, the jade stone emitted various kinds of information when it was touched, including detailed information about him!
This also involves the coordinates of the Old Earth.
Of course, the most precious part of the jade is the core area, which contains the medicinal soil!
The so-called medicinal soil is indeed not soil, but rather a kind of medicinal property, something that exists between reality and nothingness.
It was a dense golden light, but it was really just a small sliver! Wang Xuan thought to himself, that Demon Immortals was too stingy.
However, the Ferryman said that a small amount would be enough to change one's fate, as this medicinal soil might contain the medicinal properties of some kind of heavenly medicine!
"Are you satisfied with this deal?" the Ferryman asked him.
"Very satisfied, this transaction was very fair!" Wang Xuan replied earnestly.
The Ferryman, holding a fishing rod, sat at the bow of the boat and said, "Well, there's something I need to explain. The trader behind the Great Curtain just made a request, wanting me to dispel the fog and meet you."
"Is it necessary?" Wang Xuan felt guilty. He wanted to get away with it all and leave as soon as possible, not wanting to face the Transcendent Immortals behind the behind the Great Curtain.
The Ferryman was surprised and said, "You can choose to refuse."
"I refuse!" Wang Xuan made this decision immediately. He was afraid of provoking the Demon Immortals behind the Great Curtain. For safety and to be on the safe side, he decided to keep a low profile.
The Ferryman said, "It's normal for you two to meet across the curtain after reaching a friendly deal. There might be opportunities for cooperation in the future."
"Although I am just a mortal, I aspire to become an immortal. I hope to retain this beautiful dream and turn it into motivation so that I can meet her in the future as a true immortal!"
Wang Xuan was adamant that he did not want to see the other party right now.
"That's ambitious." The Ferryman nodded, then added, "But the other party insists on seeing you and is willing to pay an astonishing commission for it."
"Then let her pay a hefty commission!" Wang Xuan said.
The Ferryman remained silent, turning around quietly. His raincoat was pitch black, with only the mist forming a blurry face as he looked over.
He immediately realized that there was a problem between the two parties in the transaction. He asked, "May I ask your name?"
Wang Xuan really didn't want to tell him, but this person was most likely a powerful figure at the Ascension level. Most importantly, the other party wasn't behind the behind the Great Curtain; they were right in front of him.
So he honestly told her his real name, whispering, "Wang Xuan."
The Ferryman made a gesture of touching his forehead, even though it was dark and empty there, and he remained silent for a long time.
Wang Xuan was unsure of himself. This man who could cast the fishhook into the behind the Great Curtain was ridiculously strong. What if he was dissatisfied and slapped him?
The Ferryman finally spoke, "You don't need to worry. Under the witness of the Old Testament, the transaction has been completed, and everyone must abide by it without going back on their word."
Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Since there was a so-called agreement that was strictly enforced, he didn't need to be nervous anymore.
The Ferryman informed the other party that they did not have any rare treasures on them and were trying to borrow some; they would have to wait a while.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan realized the commission seemed quite high. He wanted to ask if he could get a share of it, since the other party was paying to see him.
But he ultimately didn't speak; it's better to remain silent in this kind of situation and play it safe.
The Ferryman said, "Someone took a liking to your short sword, and I told them you wouldn't trade it. Then, someone else set their sights on the mithril on you and asked if you would sell it?"
Wang Xuan was taken aback and took out the two barbed steel plates from his arm. Even a creature that had ascended to immortality had taken a liking to it.
No wonder there are rumors that the Transcendent Immortals would add some Sun Gold when forging weapons; it seems the rumors are true!
"What will they offer in exchange?" Wang Xuan asked.
The steel plate wasn't his; it was just a temporary loan. But he felt he could compensate Little Zhong with something else later.
In fact, he really wanted to exchange some more mysterious artifacts with the Transcendent Immortals.
In Wang Xuan's view, any item on the body of a being of that level would be a treasure in the modern world!
The Ferryman gave him a list and told him what was included.
As expected, the Transcendent Immortals were extraordinary in their offerings, providing everything from secret techniques and artifacts to treasures buried in the mortal world.
Treasure? Wang Xuan thought that was the least likely possibility. Years have passed, who knows if it's still there.
Besides, who knows which terrifying planet those treasures are on? Even if we had the coordinates, it's hard to say whether we'd survive to retrieve them.
Some of the secret techniques sound amazing, such as the Demon Immortal Bone Forging Technique, the Great Sun God Cleansing Art, and the Void Herb Gathering Method... each name is more intimidating than the last.
Although Wang Xuan had not yet delved into the details, he felt that it was a demonic technique, and probably not suitable for him to practice.
"What is Blessed Land Fragment?" Wang Xuan asked about the origin and purpose of the item on the list.
The Ferryman said, "These are the small fragments left behind after the former blessed land was shattered by the strongest being."
According to him, these small fragments still have some space inside, which can be used to store some everyday items, so they are quite practical.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan was immediately astonished. This thing was an extremely rare treasure among the extraordinary for people in the modern world. At the very least, he had never seen it before, nor had he ever heard anyone mention it.
Of course, the tycoons are another matter. Old Zhong might have a treasure trove; he has too many rare and unusual items in his collection!
"Aren't those secret techniques on the list more suitable for the demon race to cultivate?" Wang Xuan asked again.
The Ferryman nodded without saying anything more.
"Then let's exchange for the Blessed Land Fragment!" Wang Xuan made a decisive decision.
Along the fishing line, a small, grayish stone flew out from behind the Great Curtain. It looked very inconspicuous, only about the size of a fingernail. Once it landed on the ground, no one would dare to pick it up!
Fortunately, it has a chain, so it can be worn on the wrist; otherwise, it would be easy to lose.
The entire piece was smaller than a fingertip-sized grayish-brown Blessed Land Fragment, requiring more than one and a half steel plates. The reason for the remaining small piece of steel plate was that the Ferryman had to charge a commission.
In both transactions, the Ferryman adhered to the old agreement and strictly followed the Rules when taking the gold.
In fact, he also collected from the powerful beings behind the Great Curtain.
Wang Xuan sighed, "Platforms are all the same, whether in ancient or modern times; the rules allow participants to reap huge profits."
When he tried out the Blessed Land Fragment, he was very satisfied. The interior space was two cubic meters, which was not very large, but it was enough for him.
This thing needs to be activated and deactivated using the mental realm.
He put in a short sword, a jade block sealed with medicinal soil, Silver Hairpin, and Ascension Divine Bamboo covered with runes, making it quite practical and convenient.
In the modern world, this would be considered a rare and precious treasure!
The Ferryman received some strange items from the fishing line and said, "She has already paid a high commission, and I must fulfill my duty."
Having said that, he dispersed the mist in front of the curtain, allowing the beings Ascension level to see each other.
Behind the behind the Great Curtain were six people, men and women, all of whom looked full of vitality and had very young faces; their real ages were difficult to verify.
Behind the Great Curtain, the world is bathed in bright sunlight, with magnificent mountains and rivers; it is daytime.
Meanwhile, on Wang Xuan's side, the Azure Sea reflected a bright moon in the dead of night.
Behind the Great Curtain, a pretty white-clothed woman, with a round, chubby face and a baby fat, felt like she was about to explode the moment she saw Wang Xuan!
Her tiger-like eyes widened, and then she spewed fire outwards.
It's no exaggeration; her eyes truly blazed with light and flame, burning fiercely and spreading across the curtain.
She was furious; she was aiding the enemy!
What's most infuriating is that the conditions the other party proposed, in retrospect, perfectly avoided any risks. According to the Old Testament, he was perfectly safe!
Wang Xuan grinned, sensing that this guy was truly furious!
Behind the white-clothed woman, a massive white tiger phantom appeared, exuding a terrifying aura. It glared at Wang Xuan with eyes blazing with fire.
"You two knew each other before? What heinous things did you do to make her so angry?" the Ferryman asked.
"It's nothing, I just ran into her by chance. I thought she was a cat, she looked so cute, I petted her over and over again, but she held a grudge," Wang Xuan said in a low voice, downplaying the seriousness of the situation.
The Ferryman was speechless. How dare you touch such a huge and ferocious White Tiger Demon Immortal? You think you can fool someone by treating it like a cat?
"Aww!"
Behind the Great Curtain, white-clothed woman and the enormous tiger shadow behind her roared angrily, their voices deafening, as if they wanted to kill them immediately.
Wang Xuan was stunned. Not only could she see it, but now she could hear it even through the curtain? The Ferryman hadn't told him that this was a bit of a trap.
Inside the curtain, the other five men and women all showed strange expressions; some were surprised, while others wanted to laugh.
One of the women covered her mouth, laughing so hard she was doubled over, saying, "The mighty White Tiger Great Demon, Demon Immortals of his generation, was petted like a cat. That's a stain he can never wash away. Anyway, I heard it with my own ears, hahaha..."
Wang Xuan really wanted to ask her, "Who are you? Why are you stirring up trouble for no reason?"
But after thinking about it, he decided to keep quiet, figuring those people were probably all Demon Immortals.
"Shut up! He's not talking about me. That's a wisp of my spirit that I left behind in my hometown!" the White Tiger Demon Immortal retorted. There were some secrets she would rather die than tell these people.
Wang Xuan felt that since he had already received the benefits, he should be kind and not provoke her further.
He turned to the Ferryman and said, "Look, the transaction is complete. Shouldn't you take me to the secret path now? It's getting late, I'll wait to go back."
"You are now experiencing the secret path," the Ferryman told you.
He added, "She paid a hefty commission and now has the right to meet you face-to-face; it's not time to end this now."
Wang Xuan could only stare helplessly, waiting there in vain.
"You villain, give me back the medicinal soil!" The White Tiger Demon Immortal she wanted to hit herself. She never expected to encounter her enemy here.
"I won't return it. The transaction is complete, and there's no going back. You've already given it to me!" Wang Xuan raised his head and refused decisively.
"That's my lord's medicinal soil, you can't lift it!" The white-clothed woman's chubby face was filled with shame, anger, and fury; she was truly about to explode today.
"Don't be angry, I know her too. You see, we're destined to meet, even in deep space," Wang Xuan comforted her, and finally said with deep emotion, "Fate is truly wonderful."
"Who's destined to be with you?! Ugh... I'm so angry!" The white-clothed woman felt like she was going crazy. She hated herself for making such a bizarre move today. She couldn't believe it herself.
"Don't force me to come into the real world and kill you!" she threatened.
Wang Xuan wasn't happy with what he heard, so he stopped being nice and said, "Then come over here. It's been so long since you've petted a cat, you're probably a bit rusty!"
The White Tiger Demon Immortal felt like he was about to be torn to pieces by anger.
Several Demon Immortals were nearby. They were all great demons with empty eyelashes. They were experienced and knowledgeable. They watched carefully the whole time, pondering and forming a general guess in their minds.
"White Tiger True Immortal, stop yelling. We know you're deliberately being angry and roaring to cover up some truth," a male Demon Immortals said.
A Female Demon Immortal whispered, "This young man is quite extraordinary, isn't he? You want to conceal the truth and secrets about him."
"Give up, this is the As Potential Candidates!" The white-clothed woman, though round and chubby, was still quite pretty and said coldly.
"I'll go and invite the master. You've taken her medicinal soil. If you don't talk to her about it, you'll suffer a terrible fate!" The White Tiger Demon Immortal's figure flashed and disappeared.
"Can I leave?" Wang Xuan looked at the Ferryman. He really didn't want to stay any longer. He had a very deep impression of the Red-clothed Demon Immortal. What if she attacked from here? He wondered if the Ferryman could stop her.
"The secret path isn't over yet, you can't leave now," the Ferryman shook his head.
"What a stupid secret path, "Wang Xuan thought to himself, "I didn't sense it at all!"
He thought for a moment, then shouted into the depths of the curtain, "White Tiger True Immortal, go tell your master that everything is negotiable. The premise is that she must show enough sincerity. It all depends on whether she has any treasures, secret techniques, or rare items that can tempt me."
