A short while later.
Under Xiang Yuan's guidance, Gao Yan arrived at the stone hall.
"Merchant from the Eastern Wilderness, may I ask your name?"
Hu Xianxian asked softly, but her tone carried a seductive quality that made Gao Yan momentarily dazed.
But he quickly regained consciousness.
"My name is Gao Fei. May I ask how you address me, young lady?" Gao Yan began using the alias Gao Fei again.
"You can just call me Xian'er!"
Hu Xianxian's tone became even gentler, which made people feel more favorable towards her. For a moment, Gao Yan became wary. As expected of a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor, her bewitching methods were simply impossible to guard against!
"Well then, Miss Xian'er, I ventured into the Southern Frontier to find someone to do business with. I stumbled upon this mountain stronghold by chance, so I'm just trying my luck and have disturbed you. Please forgive me, Miss Xian'er!"
"It's alright!"
Hu Xianxian chuckled and waved her hand: "I wonder what Fellow Daoist Gao is carrying?"
"I possess a sword intent energy that can rapidly enhance cultivation. Miss Xian'er, why don't you give it a try!" As he spoke, Gao Yan took out a jade bottle containing a drop of sword intent energy and tossed it to Hu Xianxian.
"Miss Xian'er, you can try refining the power inside. If you're interested, we can continue discussing the deal!"
With a touch of curiosity, Hu Xianxian took out the sword intent energy.
"Miss, why don't you let me refine it?" Xiang Yuan said, worried that the sword intent energy had been tampered with.
"Need not!"
Hu Xianxian, however, was quite decisive. As a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Demon Emperor, she possessed a unique sense that she could sense who harbored ill will towards her.
She could sense that Gao Yan meant her no harm!
Moreover, she had also used her divine sense to detect that the sword intent energy had not been tampered with.
Although Hu Xianxian was only at the fifth level of the Golden Core stage, she was quite fast at refining this drop of sword intent energy, taking only an hour.
Gao Yan then realized that the other party was cultivating the Emperor Scripture, a super technique even more powerful than the Heavenly Rank technique, so it was normal for him to refine sword intent energy faster!
After refining a drop of sword intent energy, Hu Xianxian clearly sensed an increase in her own cultivation level.
To be honest, as a descendant of the Demon Emperor, even though her situation wasn't great, she wasn't lacking in spirit stones.
However, absorbing spirit stones also takes time.
However, this sword intent energy can allow her cultivation level to increase rapidly.
Moreover, the higher her cultivation level, the faster her bloodline fusion.
Therefore, after refining a drop of sword intent energy, she developed a strong craving for sword intent energy.
"Fellow Daoist Gao, I wonder how much of this energy you still possess?"
Hu Xianxian's eyes shone as she stared at Gao Yan and asked him a question. As she asked the question, she had unconsciously used her charm magic.
But Gao Yan had already taken precautions.
Although she found Hu Xianxian extremely alluring, she remained clear-headed.
"I have a lot of sword intent energy. Let's see what price Miss Xian'er is willing to offer."
Gao Yan said with a smile.
"How about 100,000 spirit stones per drop?"
Gao Yan smiled without saying a word, but was also somewhat speechless. You have over 500 billion spirit stones, why are you being so stingy with your offer?
"Those 150,000 spirit stones?"
Hu Xianxian asked tentatively, somewhat surprised that her charm spell had failed on the person in front of her.
Gao Yan remained silent.
"Fellow Daoist Gao, I'll take all your sword intent energy, even if it's only 500,000 per drop. After all, Southern Xinjiang is our demon race's territory, and it's very dangerous for a human like you to do business here!"
These words already carried a hint of threat.
Xiang Yuan sneered, "Kid, I advise you not to be ungrateful. If it weren't for my young lady's kindness, I would have killed you with one punch and stolen your storage ring!"
Upon hearing this, Gao Yan shook his head. The demon race is the demon race after all; they are different from the human race. They would try to rob someone at the slightest disagreement.
He sneered, "Miss Xian'er, do you really think I dare to do business in the demon realm without any support?"
As they were speaking, Nie Wuyai appeared out of thin air beside Gao Yan and immediately unleashed his Nascent Soul aura.
Sensing the aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator, both of the Elephant Clan's Nascent Soul cultivators were forced to retreat repeatedly.
Hu Xianxian, however, managed to temporarily withstand the suppression of the Nascent Soul aura thanks to her powerful bloodline. However, she didn't look well either and couldn't hold on for long.
"Alright!"
Gao Yan said softly, and Nie Wuyai also withdrew his imposing aura.
"Miss Xian'er, can we now properly discuss the deal?"
"Fellow Daoist Gao, it was Xian'er's subordinate who was ignorant just now. Xian'er apologizes to you here!" Hu Xianxian showed a weak expression, which made people feel sorry for her.
Gao Yan said, "Miss Xian'er, the benefits of my sword intent energy to you are immense. With enough sword intent energy, you can quickly cultivate to the peak of the ninth level of the Golden Core realm. Moreover, this thing is unique in our Eastern Wilderness. So, I won't beat around the bush with you. Ten million spirit stones per drop!"
Upon hearing Gao Yan's offer, Hu Xianxian's eyes flickered.
With a fortune of 500 billion, a hundred thousand, a million, or ten million is nothing to her.
But she didn't want to suffer a loss.
So she said in a soft voice, "Young Master Gao, ten million is too expensive. Can you make it cheaper?"
"Okay, five million per drop!"
Gao Yan seemed to soften and said, "This is the last time I'll lower the price. If Miss Xian'er tries to bargain again, I'll just turn around and leave. I'll just find other demon clans to do business with. I don't believe there aren't people who know their stuff!"
"Young Master Gao, please don't be angry. Xian'er agrees!"
