But a moment later, the images of Dongfang Yuejian and Daoist Su flashed through his Lotus Eye again.
"Wait, you want me to-you want me to ask them for a Gate-Sealing Stone?"
In his urgency, Xu Taiping asked the Lotus Eye inwardly.
At that question, the burning sensation from the Lotus Eye immediately subsided.
"You really dare to dream big. Never mind whether they even have one. Even if they do, if you ask for their Gate-Sealing Stone, you'll have to help them break the tribulation. Can you do that?"
Xu Taiping asked inwardly again.
He had always known the Lotus Eye had a consciousness, so he was not particularly surprised that it responded.
After he asked that, the Lotus Eye began burning again, seemingly dissatisfied with his question, as though saying-Are you doubting me?
Realizing that the Lotus Eye truly wanted to make this deal, Xu Taiping finally confirmed with it inwardly:
"Let me make this clear: you're the one proposing this deal. If you can't help them, even if they give me that Gate-Sealing Stone, I won't let you eat it."
No sooner had he asked this inwardly than another sharp pain shot through the Lotus Eye in his left eye, as though it found him too long-winded.
"Miss Dongfang, Daoist Su, please wait."
Having understood the Lotus Eye's meaning, Xu Taiping hesitated no longer. Enduring its burning sensation, he immediately called out to the two women.
"Young Master Xu?"
Dongfang Yuejian looked at Xu Taiping in confusion.
"I have a way to break the Seven-Kill Tribulation afflicting you, but it requires something."
Xu Taiping looked at Dongfang Yuejian with a solemn expression.
"What is it?"
Before Dongfang Yuejian could speak, Daoist Su beside her asked first.
"A Gate-Sealing Stone."
Xu Taiping answered.
"A Gate-Sealing Stone?"
Dongfang Yuejian
