"Master, you mean that if the Crimson Feather Imperial Household wants to solve its problem with talent, it has to find another Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Treasure," Xue Fuyao said.
Xie Yichu nodded. "That is the most feasible method, with the highest chance of success and the fewest side effects. Unfortunately, if it really is a Life-and-Death Snake, even I do not know what kind of Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Treasure could counter it. Curse-type Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Treasures are the hardest to deal with.
"However, aside from that, I do have another method."
Hearing this, Xue Fuyao asked, "What method?"
At some point, a folding fan had appeared in Xie Yichu's hand.
Whoosh!
The folding fan opened, hiding half his face. "You'll find out in a moment," he said unhurriedly.
Xue Fuyao pursed her lips at his answer, but ultimately did not press him, because she could already tell that her master probably intended to fleece the Crimson Feather Dynasty for a hefty sum.
Her martial uncle had previously told her that he had forced her master to take her as his disciple because her master spent his days wanting nothing, his heart devoted solely to cultivation. But now...
Her martial uncle most likely had some misunderstanding about her master. This hardly looked like wanting nothing. Still, it was true that his heart was devoted solely to cultivation.
"Master, you still haven't told me exactly what the Life-and-Death Snake's ability is."
This time, Xie Yichu did not answer her question directly. Instead, he reached out and tapped her forehead with a finger. The next second, countless pieces of information about Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Treasures flooded her mind.
"Don't speak out of turn later."
Xue Fuyao had only just recovered from the impact of that enormous flood of information. Hearing her master's words, she nodded instinctively.
