“I see,” Wang Youjun’s suspicion gradually faded. “Then you should know my rules. What have you prepared for the transaction?”
Yun Jianyue took out an ancient-looking knife with a pattern from her storage bag. It was dark blue-black, with only the blade gleaming coldly and faintly showing streaks of blood-red lines.
As soon as this item appeared, a faint smell of blood filled the entire room.
She reached out and lifted it up, and the knife floated in mid-air, quietly showing Wang Youjun the details of its blade.
"Excellent skill, excellent swordsmanship!" Wang Youjun couldn't help but exclaim. This woman looked delicate, but her cultivation was quite profound.
Yun Jianyue introduced, "This sword is called Separation, and it is a Heavenly Rank divine weapon. I wonder if you are satisfied with it?"
She discussed it with Xie Daoyun yesterday. According to the information the maid had previously provided, many who were stingy at the beginning didn't even have a chance to bid anymore.
Conversely, the three who succeeded all prepared extremely valuable gifts upon arrival.
A Heaven-Rank weapon is roughly equivalent in value to those gifts.
This knife was the personal weapon of a former leader of a demonic sect, and she was actually quite reluctant to take it out.
However, there was nothing she could do. She wasn't Yu Yanluo; she didn't have wealth beyond measure. All she had were these fighting and killing items that were considered valuable. Now that the fate of Zu An and the others was unknown, sacrificing a Heavenly Rank Divine Weapon to find them was nothing.
"I can feel that this knife has drunk the blood of countless people. Separation, indeed, is a fitting name," Wang Youjun exclaimed.
"So you've agreed to help us find the person?" Yun Jianyue felt relieved.
Wang Youjun shook his head slightly and pushed the long sword back: "This sword is good, but I am not a swordsman, so it is of no use to me."
Yun Jianyue's heart sank. She could hardly find anything of comparable value to this knife on her person. She couldn't possibly give away the Crescent Moon Wheel and the Changxin Palace Lantern.
Wang Youjun looked at Xie Daoyun and asked, "I heard that you are also skilled in talismanic arts?"
Xie Daoyun was taken aback and subconsciously replied, "I wouldn't call myself an expert; I can only say I have some knowledge of it. Besides, the runes I know seem to be different from yours."
"Oh, how is it different?" Wang Youjun looked at her with great interest.
Xie Daoyun thought for a moment and said, "Your talismans don't need any energy source like spirit stones; they can directly communicate with spirits and gods and borrow their power. The runes I know, on the other hand, are drawn and depicted to form arrays, using spirit stones and the like as energy sources to communicate with the power of heaven and earth to achieve the corresponding effects..."
"Oh, so you're good at formations?" Wang Youjun's eyes lit up.
"I know a little." Xie Daoyun smiled shyly.
"Then draw a defensive magic circle for me to see." Wang Youjun leaned forward slightly.
Xie Daoyun secretly glanced at Yun Jianyue, sensing her encouragement, and then quickly drew a magic circle in the void. As the last stroke fell, pale blue light shimmered and flowed along the lines of the magic circle.
This time, she had clearly sensed something, so she specially created a rather exquisite and profound formation.
Looking at the pale blue magic array before him, Wang Youjun seemed to be deep in thought. After a while, he said, "In this way, I can help you find your companions, but I don't want your Heavenly Rank Divine Weapons. I only need you to do one thing for me."
"What is it?" Both women felt a chill run down their spines.
“I need to go somewhere, and your expertise in formations can help me.” Wang Youjun gave Xie Daoyun a deep look. “Come with me, and I will help you find someone. I might even give you some unexpected benefits.”
