Seeing how firm Chen Lin was, Duan Shengping could only obey.
His life and livelihood were now in Chen Lin's hands, leaving him no room to resist. Besides, this master was fairly decent and, for the moment, seemed worth following. He was just a little too mysterious.
Chen Lin sensed his hesitation. He also knew that, given Duan Shengping's cultivation, gathering treasures like Spirit-Exterminating Beads would be difficult indeed, especially in demonic cultivator territory, where he would constantly have to worry about being murdered for his treasures.
After a moment's thought, he took a Pill Bottle from his Storage Ring.
He handed it over and said, "I told you that as long as you put your heart into your work, you won't lack rewards. I see that you have little lifespan left. This contains a Hundred-Lifespan Pill, which can add a hundred years to your life. You have a human constitution too, so it's just right for you. Take it as a gift!"
Duan Shengping perked up, wild joy spreading across his face.
"Thank you, Master!"
His hands trembled as he accepted the Pill Bottle, and he bowed deeply in thanks.
Nothing mattered more to him now than something that could extend his lifespan. His cultivation was only at the Golden Core mid stage, so there was simply not enough time to gain more lifespan by breaking through to Nascent Soul. He had risked accepting the Nightmare Realm exploration mission precisely to earn rewards with which to buy lifespan-extending treasures.
But lifespan-extending treasures were extremely rare and outrageously expensive. Despite exhausting every effort, he had only managed to buy a spirit herb that added ten years to his life. A pill that could grant a hundred years at once was something he had never even dared dream of!
