" Ice Spirit Cold Liquid..."
Her Leng Bingshuang eyes narrowed, her chilling gaze fixed on Xiao Yan, and she spoke in a low, deliberate voice.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, and then said:
"This junior is willing to use the Bodhi Restoration Pill as payment in exchange for the Senior's Ice Spirit Cold Liquid."
"You want to make a deal with me?"
Leng Bingshuang slightly raised her narrow eyes, her icy gaze fixed on Xiao Yan in front of her, and said in a chilling tone.
Sensing the Leng Bingshuang intent emanating from Leng Bingshuang's beautiful eyes, Xiao Yan's expression was much calmer than before.
Judging from how much Leng Bingshuang Bodhi Restoration Pill values the Rejuvenating Pill, she clearly needs it very much, and for that very reason, it's even less likely that she would kill Xiao Yan.
Once she does that, it's like cutting off her own escape route. Without the help of elixirs, the injuries deep within her body will only worsen until they threaten her life. At that point, even the most miraculous elixirs won't be able to save her!
As if seeing through Xiao Yan's thoughts, Leng Bingshuang's narrow eyes stared at Xiao Yan, while the light in her Leng Bingshuang blue pupils flickered, and points of cold light gradually gathered in the depths of her eyes, a trace of killing intent quietly emerging.
However, Xiao Yan remained calm throughout, his dark eyes as still as a deep well, showing no emotion whatsoever, as if he didn't care at all.
Seeing this, Leng Bingshuang was slightly surprised, and after a long while, she spoke again in a detached tone:
"Alright, fine, I can trade you the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid in exchange. But how do I know if you actually possess the recipe for the Bodhi Restoration Pill? If not, aren't you just toying with me again!"
The jade hand that had just fallen was raised again, and at the same time, an icy aura quickly condensed in the cave. The six ice mirrors surrounding Xiao Yan also suddenly shone brightly, as if they would launch a fierce attack on Xiao Yan at the slightest provocation.
"Oh..."
With a soft laugh, Xiao Yan slowly raised his right hand. With a thought, the Spiritual Strength between his brows surged out and condensed into a thumb-sized, milky-white energy ball in Xiao Yan palm.
"The recipe for the Bodhi Restoration Pill Elixir is here."
Under Xiao Yan's control, the ball of light slowly drifted towards Leng Bingshuang Leng Bingshuang, eventually hovering in the void in front of her.
With a slight raise of her eyebrows, a hint of suspicion flickered in her Leng Bingshuang eyes as she looked at the ball of light floating before her. After a moment's hesitation, she cautiously extended a slender, delicate thumb and gently touched the milky-white ball of light that emitted a shimmering, precious glow.
"Buzzing..."
With a soft buzzing sound, a stream of information flowed from the milky-white light, along Leng Bingshuang's slender fingertips, into her mind...
A moment later, when Leng Bingshuang looked at Xiao Yan again, a look of satisfaction finally appeared in her icy blue eyes.
"Indeed, it is the formula for the Bodhi Restoration Pill Elixir."
Leng Bingshuang nodded, gave Xiao Yan a rare smile, and said in a detached tone.
Seeing the alluring smile on Leng Bingshuang's pretty face, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. He repeatedly warned himself that this woman was not someone to be trifled with.
"Uh... hehe, may I ask, senior, about the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid..."
Avoiding Leng Bingshuang's alluring face, Xiao Yan asked cautiously, his voice slightly stammering.
"Oh..."
Upon hearing Xiao Yan's words, Leng Bingshuang feigned a reverie and gave a soft "oh," followed by a light chuckle, her tone seemingly casual as she said:
"We'll see. Once you bring me the Bodhi Restoration Pill, I will naturally give you the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid."
"Well..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's expression faltered slightly, and he was about to speak when Leng Bingshuang sneered, raising her beautiful eyes to stare at Xiao Yan, her tone chilling as she said:
"One item for another. If you can't get the pills, don't even think about getting the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid!"
With a helpless smirk, Xiao Yan knew that the woman in front of him was using the same tactics she had used against him. The way Xiao Yan had dealt with her earlier was now being used on her again, which was somewhat like an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
"All right."
Shrugging, Xiao Yan could only give a wry smile. After all, the other party was Origin Transformation Realm expert. Since they had already said that, what could he do?
After Leng Bingshuang left the cave, Xiao Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the process was somewhat troublesome, the matter of the Ice Spirit Cold Liquid could be put aside for the time being. Before that, he could also focus his attention on other things.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Xiao Yan did not rest for long. Instead, he circulated the Flame Mantra Technique within his body, recovering from the effects of the cold while continuously solidifying his Dou Qi.
After that brief encounter, Xiao Yan gained a new understanding of his current strength.
Having broken through to the Six-Star Half-Emperor level, Xiao Yan's power is indeed completely different from that of Five-Star Half-Emperor. Now, Xiao Yan's power is comparable to that of an ordinary Nine-Star Half-Emperor. As for opponents like Tian Ying, he can no longer rely on speed to win. In a short period of time, he can also confront them head-on.
Of course, despite his breakthrough in strength, Xiao Yan was also aware that his body, which had just broken through, could not yet fully control the power within him. He needed to quickly suppress the restless Dou Qi until it became solid, only then could he truly use it for his own purposes.
As the saying goes, time flies when you're cultivating, and Xiao Yan sat on his bed for a whole month.
During this month, Murong Qianqian visited him countless times, but each time she saw Xiao Yan in meditation.
Despite feeling somewhat frustrated, when Xiao Yan woke up, Murong Qianqian's pretty face still showed that touching smile of joy.
As Xiao Yan emerged from his cultivation, Leng Bingshuang, whom he hadn't seen for a month, returned. This time, a stern expression appeared on her icy face.
When Leng Bingshuang entered the cave, the first thing she saw was Murong Qianqian holding Xiao Yan's arm with both of her jade-like hands. Amidst the latter's helpless dry laugh, she recounted some of the interesting things that had happened to her over the past month.
Of course, Xiao Yan felt utterly helpless about this, but when he saw Leng Bingshuang suddenly appear, a look of relief, as if he had seen a savior, finally appeared on his face.
Seeing this, Leng Bingshuang couldn't help but purse her lips. She came to the two of them, sat down again at the stone table, and looked at Murong Qianqian with her beautiful icy blue eyes, saying in a deep voice:
" Qianqian, do your father and brother know about your trip this time?"
Upon hearing Leng Bingshuang's words, the expression on Murong Qianqian's pretty face instantly froze.
