Chapter 113: Ancestor, no!

The distress was evident on Meng Qingzhi's face. On the other hand, Yang Qiu had an expression of anticipation. Indeed, senior was still a senior. How could such valuable information be easily obtained without a substantial sacrifice?

After a moment of contemplation, Meng Qingzhi sighed softly. He waved his hand, and three spiritual herbs appeared in the void. They emitted a clear fragrance, each reaching a height of three feet. Crystal clear and exuding unique and precious Dao rhymes, they filled the entire Heavenly Secret Pavilion with an ancient and atmospheric aura.

These were three Great Saint Grade spiritual herbs. Each had grown for at least hundreds of thousands of years, enough time to outlast any Great Saint. Placed outside, their value could cause a great sensation. However, due to their extended growth period and the demanding environmental conditions, these herbs were extremely rare. The Nine Nether Demon Sect probably had only a few, given the stringent requirements for their survival.

"Now, Pavilion Master?" Meng Qingzhi asked.

"It's still not enough," Li Yun shook his head. These three Great Saint Grade spiritual herbs and the ancient mirror totaled about one-tenth of the Nine Nether Demon Sect's resources. Yet, they were already considered incredibly valuable.

"Not enough," Meng Qingzhi gritted his teeth, a pained expression on his face. Thinking of the Nine Nether Demon Sect's wealth and this rare opportunity, he waved his hand again. An ancient scroll emerged.

"Pavilion Master, this is an ancient scripture I created, called the 'Nine Nether Subduing Heaven Canon.' It can be cultivated to the Quasi Emperor realm, containing not only techniques but also countless profound Divine Arts. With this, is the value sufficient?"

"Ancestor!" Yang Qiu couldn't hold back. The Nine Nether Demon Sect had only two Quasi Emperors in its history—the one currently in front of him and the founder. In other words, their sect only possessed two Quasi Emperor Grade techniques.

Yang Qiu practiced the 'Nine Nether Subduing Heaven Canon' himself. Giving it away meant severing one of his limbs.

"It's alright. I have my own judgment," Meng Qingzhi interrupted Yang Qiu's forthcoming words, fixing his gaze on Li Yun.

Unfortunately, what Li Yun said next almost plunged him into despair.

"It's still not enough!"

"This…" Meng Qingzhi was dumbfounded. Even after offering his Quasi Emperor Grade technique, the value was insufficient. Glancing at the entire Nine Nether Demon Sect, he couldn't find anything more precious than a Quasi Emperor Grade technique.

Spirit stones? They probably had value, but it seemed too insignificant. Pills? Starting at the Great Saint Grade, not much different from presenting Great Saint Grade herbs. Materials? Common ones were worthless, and he cherished the rare ones; even Great Saint Grade weapons weren't enough.

To meet the Heavenly Secret Pavilions demands, he estimated he needed materials for an Imperial Weapon, which he unfortunately didn't possess.

"Ancestor, how about I summon the other two Great Saint Ancestors?" Yang Qiu suggested, attempting to test the waters. Calling the other two Great Saints was merely to exploit the two Great Saint Grade weapons they possessed. Perhaps, combined with theirs, it would be enough.

"No need!" Meng Qingzhi took a deep breath. Radiance flashed in his hand, revealing a black spear. The oppressive aura it emitted was frightening, as if the weapon itself possessed a malevolent consciousness. If not for the Heavenly Secret Pavilion's containment, the surrounding tens of thousands of miles of space would have collapsed at the mere appearance of this weapon.

"Ancestor, no!" Yang Qiu shouted.

He hadn't expected his Ancestor to go this far. Revealing a Quasi Emperor Grade technique was one thing, but presenting a Quasi Imperial Weapon was another. Techniques could be circulated externally, but losing a weapon meant losing one permanently. The Nine Nether Demon Sect had only two Quasi Imperial Weapons, and Meng Qingzhi had just offered one. This was a significant loss.

Meng Qingzhi ignored Yang Qiu's concerns, focusing his gaze on Li Yun, and said in a deep voice, "Pavilion Master, now, is it valuable enough?"

"It's enough." Li Yun nodded.

These two words sounded like celestial music to Yang Qiu and Meng Qingzhi. Li Yun extended his hand, receiving the Nine Nether Subduing Heaven Canon and the black spear. He transcribed the entire content of the technique and exchanged everything for Secret Points.

Li Yun didn't need a Quasi Imperial Weapon, but the Nine Nether Subduing Heaven Canon might prove useful. Even though he didn't practice it, learning a few Divine Arts wouldn't hurt. It was more cost-effective than purchasing them from the system, considering Li Yun's current financial constraints.

"System, inquire about a secure route into the Radiant Light Holy Land," Li Yun said.

[Ding, deducting 450,000 Secret Points. Inquiry successful. The method to enter the Radiant Light Holy Land is sent to the system space below.]

"450,000." Li Yun's mouth twitched. Moments ago, exchanging four Great Saint Grade items, a Quasi Emperor Grade technique, and a Quasi Imperial Weapon barely reached 690,000 Secret Points. Now, he had deducted more than half of it. Fortunately, his Secret Points were once again abundant.

"There you go." Li Yun raised his hand, a stream of light flying out and landing in Meng Qingzhi's hand. "This is what you asked for, the method to enter the Radiant Light Holy Land. I suggest you hurry; arriving late means the Radiant Light Holy Land and the Scarlet Flame Holy Land might have finished their battle!"

"Alright, alright!" Meng Qingzhi nodded repeatedly, holding the jade slip in his hands, tears of excitement streaming down his face. After paying such a great price, he had finally obtained what he desired.

"I'll take my leave!" After saying this, Meng Qingzhi, accompanied by Yang Qiu, quickly departed. They were already nowhere to be seen by the time their front feet left the Heavenly Secret Pavilion.

The next moment, they reappeared millions of miles away.
