"A fair trade? Young man, what do you think I need? Or can you offer me something?"
Hearing Qi's words.
The Deer God in the opposite position suddenly chuckled.
The Deer God, who was worshipped by humans as a 'god' after absorbing the most primordial power of the world through prayer, has existed for hundreds of years.
While it may not be able to compare with the most powerful gods in this world, such as the Death God, the Deer God still has its own pride.
How can I trade fairly with a mere human being?
In other words, the Deer God's personality has always been mild. Otherwise, if he were to transform into another god with a fiery temper, he would have attacked the moment he discovered Qi's invasion, and there would have been a huge uproar!
Especially that Jashin exudes the most malevolence and has the most tyrannical personality!
Over the past few centuries, he has not only beaten up ordinary humans, but even some gods!
There were even one or two unlucky souls who were directly killed by the Jashin.
Although these beings are not true gods, after hundreds, thousands, or even longer of years of worship and offerings by humankind, they have all come to regard themselves as gods!
But in reality, they are simply extraordinary beings possessing powers that mortals cannot easily control.
Qi is not a person of this era.
Of course, the difference is very clear.
If I had to find an analogy...
Aren't these so-called gods just more powerful summoned beasts with a few more special abilities?!
Therefore, Qi could not possibly have any sense of awe.
Upon hearing the words of this Deer God.
Qi frowned, his eyes turning slightly cold. While friendly conversation would be best, if all else failed, he would have to resort to force to coerce the other side!
Fortunately, I was able to sense it through the aura I had just sensed.
Just as Qi had predicted.
This Deer God is not very strong.
I wouldn't dare say much, but he definitely doesn't have Kage Level, no, he doesn't even have Quasi-Kage- level power. At most, he's comparable to Jonin in his era.
In this era without ninjas and without Chakra power.
The power displayed by an ordinary Genin is enough to sweep away a large group of so-called samurai. Only the most mysterious onmyoji truly need to be wary!
And it was just as he was about to make a move, his right hand slightly opening and closing.
"However, if it's just about finding something, I can help, but there's one condition: you must agree to one request, young man. If you do, I'll agree to help you!"
This Deer God, it's unclear whether he sensed Qi's intention to make a move.
Or was this the plan from the beginning?
At the moment the Deer God spoke these words calmly and unhurriedly.
This truly stunned Qi for quite a while.
The look in their eyes immediately turned suspicious.
What are the terms of the exchange? And what is the other requirement?
Qi slowly released his right hand and asked in a slightly indifferent tone.
"Hehe, I haven't thought of any exchange conditions yet, let's put that aside for now. Don't worry, just like you said, it will definitely be something you can do. If it's beyond your capabilities, you can refuse, and I'll come up with a different condition. As for that extra request, just tell me where you've come from, young man!"
The Deer God's enormous head tilted slightly forward, and its eyes, which seemed to hold a special luster, looked meaningfully at Qi at that moment.
My origins?
Listen to the words of the Deer God.
Qi was stunned once again.
He hadn't expected that the Deer God opposite him would be so interested in this. In fact, from what he had just said, it was clear that the Deer God might not care about the so-called exchange conditions and only cared about his origins!
This surprised Qi somewhat.
But upon further reflection, Qi felt relieved. The Deer God was clearly not the kind of being with strong desires. More importantly, as this Deer God had said before, he probably didn't have anything on him that the Deer God would value!
The Deer God probably only proposed this exchange because he was interested in him.
Of course, there may be other reasons as well.
But that's something Qi can't guess at the moment.
"Okay, I agree. As long as you, Deer God, can help me find what I want, I will tell you everything about my origins and background!"
After a brief silence, Qi raised his eyes again, looking at the Deer God with a calm expression, and said in a light tone.
What does it matter if we tell the Deer God about our origins, as long as we can successfully find the Dragon Vein?
Whether people believe it or not is up to the Deer God!
All Qi wants now is to find the Dragon Vein as soon as possible, and then find a way to return to his own era!
He didn't want to stay too long.
Suddenly one day, he encountered the Rabbit Goddess directly, and Qi's heart couldn't take such a heavy blow!
Therefore, he desperately needs the Deer God's assistance!
"Hmm, that's a smart approach, young man. Now tell me what you're looking for? Also, it must be within my scope of responsibility. I must remind you of that first, young man. Oh, by the way, what's your name? Young man, calling you that all the time is getting a bit of a sore spot!"
Qi is, after all, no ordinary human being.
Although it was not directly lifted.
The Deer God doesn't possess any extraordinary sensory abilities.
However, at close range, one could still sense the dangerous aura emanating from Qi.
It was a force that could potentially threaten one's life.
The Deer God certainly couldn't treat Qi the same way he would treat ordinary people; in almost every conversation, he used an attitude of equality.
At most, there are some elders interacting with younger generations.
After all, the Deer God's age is a factor to consider.
"Hehe, my name is Minazuki Kei. What I'm looking for is a special collection of power. It might be intangible, or it might be a crystallization of power. And it definitely exists within the Land of Spring. I can't say for sure what it is right now, but if you, Deer God, can help me find it, I'll be able to determine it once I get close!"
Qi smiled slightly and said.
"A special combination of powers?"
The Deer God was taken aback by Qi's words, and then looked at Qi with a look of surprise.
Qi was well aware that his words would draw the Deer God's attention further, and perhaps even arouse his suspicion.
But if you can't even clearly define what you're looking for, how can you expect others to help you?
Although Qi's explanation is already quite vague.
However, the Deer God interpreted things in a different way, and that's why, for the first time, a hint of danger appeared in his eyes when he looked at Qi.
