Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension Chapter 1653: 889: The Curtain Rises, Shocking News of the Filthy Immortal Arrow_4
Previously on Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension...
With a smile, Zhao Sheng shook his head, unleashing his Will Heart Light that swiftly wrapped up all the Five Elements Essence and mystic artifacts, drawing them straight into the Big Belly Bag.
The entire Spirit Stone Mountain was devoured completely by the Stone Spirit in short order, dropping two pitch-black stone shells the size of fingernails at that instant, beneath which gleamed a smoother, more radiant crystal skin.
A mere thought from Zhao Sheng had the two stone shells flying into his palm instantly, after which he stowed them away in the bag.
Noticing this, the Stone Spirit displayed zero reaction, looking completely disinterested.
Time drifted by leisurely, with one hour vanishing in the wink of an eye.
Suddenly then, a cloud of black mist plunged down from the heavens, hitting the earth without delay.
The black mist burst apart in a flash, unveiling a enigmatic figure robed entirely in black.
The instant the black-robed figure materialized, he demanded of Zhao Sheng impatiently, “Where is the Small Wind Stabilizing Pearl?”
Zhao Sheng spread open his right hand once again, presenting the Small Wind Stabilizing Pearl.
However, before the other could even respond, he pulled back the Treasure Bead.
In haste, the black-robed stranger advanced a step, his voice icy as he said, “I didn’t see it clearly just now, show it again.”
Zhao Sheng retreated two paces and warned gravely, “If you take another step forward, I will return to the Lower Realm immediately.”
The black-robed stranger halted abruptly, his tone easing slightly, “This old man was just in a hurry, young friend don’t misunderstand.”
Zhao Sheng always followed the creed, “If someone lets me take a step, I let them take three feet.”
In silence, he revealed his right palm once more, the Small Wind Stabilizing Pearl there shining with greater clarity and translucence.
The black-robed stranger stared at it for ages, his voice quaking, “Indeed! It is the Small Wind Stabilizing Pearl.”
A subtle smile played on Zhao Sheng’s lips as he withdrew the Treasure Bead again, inquiring, “Does senior have anything to say to me?”
Shaking from head to toe, the black-robed stranger barely contained his burning urge, murmuring lowly, “This old man wishes to trade for the Small Wind Stabilizing Pearl. Name your price, young friend!”
“Straightforward!” Zhao Sheng clapped heartily and burst into laughter, acclaiming, “My demands aren’t high. I just want ten Wind Immortal Bones and something that can kill Ruined Immortals. Senior, it’s best not to say you don’t have them, or I will be very disappointed.”
On this occasion, the black-robed stranger fell quiet for an extended period.
Only after a prolonged pause did he rasp, “How do you know this old man has a Filthy Immortal Arrow? Did the Stone Spirit tell you?”
His words barely landed when the Stone Spirit vaulted three Zhang into the air in rage, bellowing wildly, “I keep my mouth shut, I didn’t tell him! You old fart, don’t try to slander me.”
The Stone Spirit’s vehement threefold denial silenced the black-robed stranger completely right there.
“…”
Zhao Sheng kept smiling wordlessly, though ecstasy surged within him.
His hunch proved spot on: survivors of the Immortal Ruins lineage, persisting from ancient eras, were bound to hold weapons capable of fending off or slaying Ruined Immortals.
A single bluff had prompted the man’s unsolicited confession, far beyond Zhao Sheng’s expectations.
After much wavering, the black-robed stranger nodded with evident reluctance, “The Filthy Immortal Arrow can be given to you, but at most three Wind Immortal Bones. Also, you must refine one more Small Wind Stabilizing Pearl.”
Overjoyed deep down, Zhao Sheng still pressed his advantage aloud, “Add another Wind Immortal Bone, as the main material for refining the Treasure Bead.”
“Deal!” The black-robed stranger consented instantly, as if he’d foreseen the request.
With that declaration, the black-robed stranger morphed abruptly into a swirl of black gas, a voice emerging from it, “This old man will be right back.”
Thereupon, the black gas surged upward into the skies, fading beyond the horizon after just a few breaths.
