Chapter 578: He Isn’t!
He Isn't! . . .
"Be swift in procuring other medical materials as well. The higher the quality and quantity, the better. I trust you understand what I mean," Cha Eun Xiao grinned like a wolf that had cornered a rabbit successfully.
"I do. Rest assured, materials from the House of Chaotic Storms will not disappoint you," Xiu-Er replied confidently. She then inquired, "Regarding the Supreme Agerasia Dan... can you truly craft it?"
"What are you saying? Since when have you heard a falsehood from Feng Zhiling? I've already created the Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan; an Agerasia Dan is a straightforward task," Cha Eun Xiao replied confidently. "However, crafting a supreme-level Agerasia Dan largely hinges on obtaining the ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus. If I can acquire it, there will be no issue. If I have an adequate supply of materials, it is even feasible to produce two for each of you. This means that success relies on you. Do you understand?"
"I do! ... But one for each of us will suffice," Xiu-Er stated, blushing as she fixed a firm gaze on Cha Eun Xiao.
"Oh, right. One for each... No need for more," Cha Eun Xiao muttered, realizing the impracticality of his earlier idea. What would the women do with multiple dan beads if they could remain ageless with just one?
"So a ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus guarantees the dan beads?" Xiu-Er asked once more to reconfirm.
"Absolutely! Certainly! Without a doubt!" Cha Eun Xiao nodded in response.
...
"In the bamboo forest, Wan-Er looked at Xiu-Er with shimmering eyes, speaking in hushed tones, 'Are you certain?'"
"Absolutely! Certainly! Without a doubt! I am!" Xiu-Er nodded with conviction.
"So, as long as we obtain a ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus, we'll have it?" Wan-Er inquired.
"I swear on my entire family's lives, it's a guarantee!" Xiu-Er nearly vowed.
"Excellent! ... But what makes you so certain?" Wan-Er inquired, her happiness evident.
"Feng Monarch may be shameless, but he values his promises. Besides, if he can't craft it for us, no one in the world can. After all, he successfully created the Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan. The Agerasia Dan shouldn't pose a problem to him," Xiu-Er explained.
"True. I believe it."
"Then, how about those materials?"
"Let's collect them together! I'll assist!"
"Great!"
The two women whispered with shining faces and glistening eyes.
Meanwhile, Master Bai and Ling Wuxie observed the two ladies engaged in secretive conversation from a distance, utterly dumbfounded.
They could certainly hear the ladies' conversation, but they were at a loss for words.
Cha Eun Xiao had just promised the two women a pair of Agerasia Dan beads, yet they had not received anything in return. Despite this, the women appeared quite content.
Unknown to Master Bai and Ling Wuxie, the Agerasia Dan was of immense significance to women, to the extent that they would eagerly expend their last penny to acquire it.
There was no logical reason for it whatsoever.
In fact, this time, Cha Eun Xiao wasn't being greedy. If he had thought of this strategy when Su Yeyue's master, Meng Huaiqing, was still present, he could have used it to obtain a significant quantity of resources from her, including the ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus.
Ling Wuxie and Master Bai exchanged glances and silently concurred that there was no need to intervene. The two women's current behavior would likely become a distant memory once they returned to the Human Realm Upon Heavens. Thus, they decided to allow them to continue their animated discussion without interference.
"I mean, Bai, when do you plan to meet Feng Monarch?" Ling Wuxie inquired.
"I intend to meet him shortly," Master Bai replied with a smile. "Not right now. For the time being, we'll allow him to obtain what he seeks. When he encounters me, he may not be as forthcoming with his requests."
Ling Wuxie was puzzled. "Why not?"
However, his acute intellect quickly grasped the situation. "Oh. You view him as a formidable adversary. He similarly regards you as his greatest rival. Consequently, he won't engage in such frivolous antics in your presence, as it would diminish his image."
"But he can still carry out his wishes regarding us. You, as the central figure, remain hidden," Ling Wuxie remarked.
Master Bai grinned. "You're correct."
"Nevertheless, he still requires more resources, which is why I've chosen to delay our meeting," Master Bai elaborated. "As you suggested, I require a worthy opponent. If he's too weak, it would be uninteresting. At times, it's gratifying to support one's adversary."
"Feng Zhiling creates the dan beads for me, thereby providing me with substantial support!" Master Bai chuckled.
Subsequently, he rose from his seat and took several steps, his face illuminated by the setting sun. "The Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads are truly remarkable."
As soon as the two women delivered the dan beads, he consumed them without hesitation. Regardless of their unappealing appearance, they were mythical dan beads, and he had to partake of them.
Ling Wuxie aided him in assimilating the dan beads when he ingested them. The instant he consumed them, he felt the extraordinary power of the dan, which promptly subdued the divine punishment's energy. Although he was unable to employ his spiritual power just yet, he could stand and move around.
Feng Zhiling's Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads proved to be truly remarkable in their effectiveness. "These Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads from Feng Zhiling appear to exceed our expectations. They may even surpass the mythical Heaven Seizing Supreme Dan beads," Ling Wuxie commented. "Feng Monarch may be avaricious, but he is highly proficient in crafting dan beads."
Master Bai smiled and corrected, "You have misunderstood. He isn't truly avaricious. You will understand in time."
Perplexed, Ling Wuxie inquired, "Hm? Look at what he has done. If he isn't greedy, what does 'greedy' even mean?"
"Contemplate his actions. He is unquestionably a person of unwavering integrity and resolute determination. Such an individual can hardly be called greedy," Master Bai responded. Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Unless I am mistaken about him... he will offer something in return! When he repays the favor, I guarantee you, you will be astounded."
