But it's also true that if everyone in the world knew the secret I was carrying, I would never be able to rest in peace again.
"Haha, why don't we sit down and talk slowly, Friend Yan."
Chu Yu directly brought Yan Quan into a secret room in her fairy peak, and set up many restrictions after the two of them entered.
"Don't worry too much. Your whereabouts are only known to the upper echelons of the Chu family. You are not coveted by the sect."
"Why are you...Haha, it seems that this is really hard to guard against. I thought that Chu Tuo, a descendant of an unorthodox family, could no longer participate in the affairs of your clan."
Yan Quan reacted after a little thought. It was true that his secret was only known to a very few people in the Wangchen Sect. If anyone wanted to investigate, they must be a high-ranking member of the sect.
There was no way to find my own whereabouts, and it seemed that it was also...
I really didn't expect that Chu Tuo would be so keen on kicking someone when they're down.
"As for our Chu family, there's no need for you to discuss it. The head of the family wants me to not embarrass you, as long as you're willing to speak your mind.
Then, since you are now in a state worse than death, we will forgive you for what happened."
Chu Yu sat on the upper seat, her beautiful eyes slightly opened, and spoke intentionally or unintentionally.
Yan Quan naturally knew how Chu Yu, a cultivator who grew up under the support of a great family, could take him seriously.
Now she calls me fellow Taoist all the time. If it weren't for my secret and her family mission, I guess she wouldn't even look at me.
"Then can you agree to my terms? Those things are indeed of no use to me now, so it's okay to tell you."
"Friend Yan, you're still making conditions to me now?
I said I would send you away after a year, so would I go back on my word? Or do you still want me to tell you that your cultivation has improved?"
"What!? How did you find out?"
Yan Quan was shocked, but he put away his surprise and suspicion in a moment.
"Elder Chu, we have no grudges against each other, and you don't want me to stay with Chu Ruoxue for a long time, right?"
"I have indeed been inside the Hall of Eternal Life, and I did get some prescriptions, but due to the limitations of my cultivation, I didn't bring anything out of the hall."
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t risk my life to look for Tianzhi as a medicinal ingredient.
If you are willing to let me go and can promise to take me safely to a farther place, then I will offer you the immortal recipe I obtained and some information I saw in the outer hall of the Changsheng Palace.
Of course, if you forcefully search my soul, the restrictions I set up earlier will be immediately triggered, causing me to die violently."
After Yan Quan finished speaking, he stopped talking and just looked at Chu Yu quietly.
Chu Yu was silent, lost in thought. Yan Quan was not in a hurry either. He had been a cultivator for so many years, so he naturally understood the interests involved in the trade between cultivators.
At the same time, he also realized that Chu Yu's real intention was to protect the interests of the sect.
Loving Chu Ruoxue is one thing, but keeping her by her side, and perhaps even having her protect herself from disaster, is a useless move no matter how you look at it. She should know the pros and cons.
"Wait for me here for a moment."
After Chu Yu finished speaking, she stood up and left the small room. Yan Quan could probably guess that she was going to have a chat with Chu Ruoxue, the head of the Chu family.
Seeing this scene, Yan Quan breathed a sigh of relief.
After so many days of experience, he could also guess that the head of the Chu family probably only saw his value.
As for the rest, they probably didn't care much about their own life or death. They put their own interests first and took the overall situation into consideration. This made him somewhat admire the head of the Chu family.
Speaking of the Temple of Longevity, it was ten years ago that Yan Quan had the opportunity to enter the mysterious forbidden Temple of Longevity, which was opened only once every thousand years.
It is rumored that this palace was the bedroom of a certain emperor in ancient times, and there are also rumors that it came from another world. Although the origin is controversial, the high value of the things inside has always been recognized by everyone.
Yan Quan also stumbled in that time. Since the incident happened suddenly, he did not get in-depth contact with some of the high-level monsters in the group, so he did not actually benefit much.
However, the recipe for the immortality elixir that he accidentally obtained can be said to be a priceless treasure. It can actually allow one to enter the Mahayana realm quickly and safely from the Tianxu realm.
It's a magical pill! But the ingredients and the refining method...
The fact that Yan Quan has now lost all his cultivation is the result of this.
But now that I have revealed everything, the person behind me should agree to my conditions readily.
A little deduction would reveal that this Immortal Ascension Pill might have far more than just one effect, and the Chu family must be in need of this kind of magical pill recently...
