Yun Si Ning hesitated for a moment, then followed the thin man inside.

With the little lime in her sleeve, she wasn't too worried about being ambushed.

After entering the hidden door, you soon arrive at a small room.

The room was dimly lit, and Yun Si Ning could only see a wooden table and a long-haired man drinking alone behind it.

Yun Si Ning tried to sense the other party's strength, but couldn't.

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen!"

The thin man called out.

The other person looked up, their eyes somewhat dazed, as if they were slightly tipsy.

"Wh...what's wrong?"

The thin man quickly ran over and whispered something in his ear.

"Dragon Marrow Realm?"

The man surnamed Shen looked at Yun Si Ning with suspicion, the smell of alcohol on his body completely gone.

You've got some skills!

Yun Si Ning's eyes lit up.

If a cultivator wants to neutralize the effects of alcohol, they only need to circulate their spiritual energy; anyone can do that.

However, during the process of this person overcoming the effects of the alcohol, Yun Si Ning did not sense any fluctuations in spiritual energy, which was enough to show how profound the other party's skill was.

"You intend to assassinate a Dragon Marrow Realm expert?"

He asked.

"Yes, that's me."

Yun Si Ning gave a warm smile.

"Can you do it?"

"It's possible, but it depends on the other party's strength and what price you can afford."

The man pushed the wine bowl aside, his expression turning serious.

Seeing his confidence, Yun Si Ning was delighted.

She took out a bottle of Qingyun Pills from her storage ring, the aroma of the medicine filling the air, and then put it back.

Upon smelling the fragrance, the man surnamed Chen raised his eyebrows.

"You go out first, I'll talk to this girl alone."

He said to the man who was leading the way beside him.

"Close the gate and don't let anyone near here."

"Understood, Brother Chen."

The man agreed and turned to leave the dark room.

"Please sit down, young lady."

The man gestured to the chair opposite him, and Yun Sining sat down directly.

She took out the Qingyun Pill only to show that she was indeed wealthy and wasn't there to cause trouble.

It must be said that this Qingyun Pill is indeed very effective.

The aroma of this medicine is so enticing, everyone knows it's a Saint-level elixir.

"Young lady, let's get to know each other again. We're in the Lower River."

The man clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

Sinking in the river?

These two characters sound weird, why are they so annoying?

"My name is Ning Yun."

Yun Si Ning also bowed and said.

"I wonder how many spirit stones Miss Ning can offer?"

"Um...aren't you going to ask about the assassin's strength?"

"Oh, I forgot, I forgot."

Shen He scratched his head and smiled somewhat awkwardly.

"Then, Miss Ning, please tell me about the other party's situation in detail."

"emm..."

Yun Sining thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Our target is only one person, whose strength should be between the peak of the Elephant Armor Realm and the Snake Core Realm."

"However, just to be on the safe side, I'll assume his strength is at the peak of the Serpent Core Realm."

"Besides that, our biggest enemy is someone close to him."

"A guard at the Dragon Marrow Realm?"

Shenhe asked.

"As for guards... you can't say that."

Yun Si Ning thought to herself.

"We only have one chance to strike. If we fail to succeed on the first strike, the target will likely escape."

She then recounted everything she knew about Chai Yanchen.

"An invisible guard?"

"Dragon Marrow Realm strength?"

"Using poison, can it be tracked?"

"Can you hide your body silently?"

As Yun Si Ning continued her explanation, Shen He's eyes widened more and more.

"Miss Ning, are you sure you want to assassinate this kind of person?"

He asked incredulously.

"Um... I don't want to admit it, but that's really the case."

"Isn't this a bit...difficult?"

She asked timidly.

Sigh...

Shen He gently rubbed his forehead.

"This isn't just difficult, it's extremely difficult."

He pondered for a moment, then spoke to Yun Sining.

"I have two requirements. If you can't agree to either one, I won't do this business."

"you say."

"First, I only make one move. After that, I will leave immediately, regardless of whether the target has been assassinated."

"Hmm... okay."

After hesitating for a moment, Yun Sining nodded in agreement.

After all, it's an assassination, one strike is enough, and there's only one chance.

"Secondly, my reward is not spirit stones, but a kind of pill."

What kind of pills do you need?

Yun Si Ning was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to have such a request.

"Saint-level Soul Tempering Pills, I need ten."

Upon hearing this name, Yun Sining breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Si Yiqi happened to have this kind of pill in her storage ring.

She had already seen the jade talisman that Elder Feng had given her, which contained records about the Saint-level Soul Tempering Pill.

Soul Tempering Pill: Saint-level, medium quality.

Effects: It can temper the mind and soul, strengthen spiritual awareness, and help peak Snake Core Realm cultivators break through to Dragon Marrow Realm.

Estimated value: 7 million spirit stones per stone.

Yun Si Ning had to admit that, although both were Saint-level pills, the difference in value was simply too great.

Previously, three bottles of the Saint-level Gathering Spirit Pill sold at the Golden Pavilion fetched 30 million.

And this mid-grade Saint-level Soul Tempering Pill costs seven million per pill.

Shenhe said he wanted ten, which would amount to seventy million.

Seventy million...

Even though Yun Si Ning is not short of money now, she still felt a pang of heartache.

Seeing her thoughtful expression, Shen He said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Um... if ten won't work, nine will do too. I just need the low-quality ones."

"Hmm... I know the price is a bit high, but after all, the other party is at the Dragon Marrow Realm, and the cultivation technique is so strange, I am also taking a huge risk."

"Can."

To everyone's surprise, Yun Si Ning agreed immediately.

"What?"

"I can give you ten Soul Tempering Pills, and they are of medium quality at the Saint rank."

Shen He stood up abruptly, and with a loud crash, the wooden chair behind him fell over.

He ignored the wooden chair and stared wide-eyed at Yun Sining.

"Is what you say true, young lady?"

"nature."

As Yun Si Ning spoke, a jade bottle appeared in her hand.

She tossed it over casually, and Shenhe quickly caught it.

He opened it and his pupils dilated in shock.

"It really is a mid-level Saint-grade Soul Tempering Pill!"

"I have a question."

Yun Si Ning said.

"Excuse me, young lady!"

Shen He could no longer hide his excitement; his hands were trembling slightly.

"You want this Soul Tempering Pill, are you trying to break through to the Dragon Marrow Realm?"
