The nine-tailed snake stared at Su Mu with its vertical pupils without responding.
Su Mu glared back at the Nine-tailed Snake. Although he was anxious and nervous in his heart, he did not show it on his face.
The current situation is a bit like a children's game, whoever speaks first loses.
Fortunately, this nine-tailed snake did not come from the Northeast, otherwise it would have said "What are you looking at" and then rushed up to the sky to fight Sumu, and Sumu would have been dumbfounded.
Neither the man nor the snake said a word, making the atmosphere strange and tense. Apart from the whistling wind from the snowy mountains, there was no other sound.
The Nine-tailed Snake has been observing Su Mu, but found that he can't see through anything.
It muttered in its heart: "From the might this guy released, his strength should be equal to mine, or even stronger than mine. But why doesn't he just attack me directly, but instead has to talk nonsense with me? Doesn't he know that villains die because of their talkativeness? Or does he not want to fight with me?"
"Yes. Although he is strong enough, the people around him are not that good. He is afraid that if he fights with me, the people around him will be hurt, so he is unwilling to start a war rashly! But what does it mean when he asks me if I crave power?"
In this situation, the Nine-tailed Snake did not dare to start a fight easily, because the power released by Su Mu made it misjudge Su Mu's strength. It was afraid that once a fight broke out, both sides would suffer losses.
Although it came with hatred and wanted to take revenge on those who ruined its plans, it did not want to get itself involved.
As for revenge for the Blood Corpse God? That was even less of an interest. The Blood Corpse God was just one of his many subordinates, or even a tool for him to "hunt", not his lover, so he could just die...
After pondering for a while, the nine-tailed snake finally spoke, spitting out its tongue and said in a cold voice: "So what if I desire power? Can you give it to me?"
Su Mu nodded: "I can give it to you!"
Hearing this, not only did Nine-tailed Snake show a look of surprise on his face, but Gu Ranxi, Kevin and others around Su Mu were also extremely surprised and didn't understand what he meant.
"you……"
Kevin was about to speak subconsciously, but saw Su Mu put his hands behind his back and made a gesture to him.
He immediately understood and stopped asking questions. Although he still didn't know what Su Mu was going to do, he knew that he just had to choose to believe.
The nine-tailed snake saw everyone's reactions, but it ignored them. Now it just wanted to figure out what Su Mu meant, what kind of power he wanted to give it, and how to give it.
"What do you mean?"
"You use the Blood Corpse God to parasitize the human body and steal the essence of human blood. Isn't it to nourish yourself and increase your strength? But how can the essence of ordinary people compare to the magic pill?"
Su Mu raised his hand and took out a number of soul-nourishing pills from the space bracelet, and held them in the air with his spiritual energy.
Although he still maintained an expressionless dead fish face to avoid being discovered by the Nine-tailed Snake, the tone of his voice became a little enthusiastic and full of temptation.
"Look, I have a batch of elixirs here. They are all beautiful, and the spiritual energy is rich and pure. Eating one is equivalent to plundering the blood and energy essence of several people. With them, your strength will definitely be greatly improved. What do you think? Are you tempted? Do you want it very much?"
When Su Mu said the latter sentence, there was music playing as accompaniment. It was the kind of background music that is often heard in radio commercials or TV shopping. It was very moving and exciting, and it set off the atmosphere, making the salesman's slogan full of brainwashing and bewitching flavor.
The Nine-tailed Snake frowned as he listened, and his cold gaze moved from Su Mu to Lin Junjie next to him.
He was the one who composed the background music.
When Lin Junjie was glared at by the Nine-tailed Snake, he felt his blood was about to freeze, and the background music suddenly stopped.
"What are you doing?" Xun Ling asked in a low voice.
Lin Junjie wanted to say, isn’t this to help Teacher Su so that he can better seduce the Nine-tailed Snake?
But he swallowed the words back, fearing that Nine-tailed Snake would hear and bring down Teacher Su's prestige, so he said instead: "Teacher Su's words moved me so much that I couldn't help but put them to music. You know, as a musician, sometimes I just can't control my hands."
Teacher Su?
When the Nine-tailed Snake heard Lin Junjie's name, its pupils shrank suddenly.
Although it is a monster, it is a monster that keeps pace with the times and keeps up with the trend of the times. It knows that in the human world, especially among cultivators, those who can be called teachers have at least the third or fourth level of strength. This makes it even more unpredictable about Su Mu's strength.
The Nine-tailed Snake ignored Lin Junjie, even if he continued to compose music, it didn't matter. The Nine-tailed Snake only cared about the batch of elixirs in Su Mu's hand.
It didn't know the art of alchemy, and had no place to get elixirs. Although the elixir that Su Mu took out was a spiritual elixir used by cultivators below level three, it still made it tempted and wanted it very much.
"Are you willing to give me these elixirs?" asked the nine-tailed snake. Although it tried its best to remain calm, Su Mu could still hear the urgency and desire in its tone.
Hooked!
Su Mu was secretly delighted, his face expressionless, and said: "Of course I can give it to you, but not for free. How about we make a deal?"
"You want me to let you go?" asked the Nine-tailed Snake.
Su Mu sneered, "With my strength, do I need you to let me go? If I want to take people away, you can't stop me!"
These words were extremely pretentious, and coupled with the power, even the Nine-tailed Snake was frightened. After a moment, it asked, "Then what do you want?"
Sumu grinned.
To the Nine-tailed Snake, this smile had a different kind of horror.
"Do you have money? Spend some gold!"
"Krypton...Gold?" Nine-tailed Snake was a little confused by this operation, "I don't have any money."
"You have no money?"
“No money!”
"Where's the baby?"
“No!”
Somehow, Nine-tailed Snake felt sad after being asked by Su Mu, and subconsciously asked himself: Why have I not saved any money or treasures after struggling for so many years?
But it soon came to its senses and thought to itself, I am a snake and have not yet evolved into a Jiao, let alone a dragon. Naturally, I have not developed the hobby of collecting treasures that Jiao and dragons like.
As for money...I'm just a monster, what do I need money for?
Suddenly, the Nine-tailed Snake realized a problem: I didn't evolve into a dragon, could it be because I didn't develop the hobby of collecting treasures? It seems that I need to cultivate this hobby in the future.
"I have no money and no treasures. What can you use to buy the elixir?" Su Mu shook his head with a look of disgust and was about to put away the elixir.
"Wait!" The nine-tailed snake was anxious. If it had not been unsure of Su Mu's strength, it would have rushed up to snatch it away.
But now, it could only hold its breath and make a suggestion: "Although I don't have money or treasures, I have something that may interest you."
"What is it?" Su Mu asked. In fact, even if the Nine-tailed Snake didn't take the initiative to propose it, he would find a way to sell this batch of pills to the other party. But he couldn't act as if he couldn't wait to sell it to the Nine-tailed Snake. It would be best if the Nine-tailed Snake could beg to buy it like it is now.
Only in this way, when the Nine-tailed Snake gets the elixir, there won’t be too many doubts.
The stuff he mixed in it wouldn't be discovered.
"My shed snake skin." The nine-tailed snake said, fearing that Su Mu didn't know how powerful its snake skin was, it added: "My snake skin has a very strong defensive property. I originally planned to keep it and refine it into a defensive magic weapon. It's more than enough to exchange for your elixirs."
"Don't brag about your snake skin too much, and don't act like you're at a disadvantage. You snakes don't shed your skin only once. But your skin can barely be considered a treasure... Fine, I'll take a loss and trade it with you. But I have to add the bag of blood corpse god eggs."
"What do you want the Blood Corpse God's eggs for?" The Nine-tailed Snake was very surprised. Don't you have the elixir? Do you still need to drive the Blood Corpse God to plunder the essence of blood and qi?
Although Nine-tailed Snake didn't say the rest of the words, Su Mu guessed it and sneered, "I'm not as low as you. I just want a group of textile workers."
Weavers? Bloody corpse gods? If we ignore their viciousness and evil nature and only look at their spinning, they are indeed capable of doing the job.
The nine-tailed snake didn't care what Su Mu's plan was, as long as it could get the elixir it desired.
However, it was also very cunning: "I can't give you all the Blood Corpse God's eggs. I'll give you half, but you have to add another batch of elixirs!"
"Greedy!" Su Mu pretended to be angry.
"Mutual, mutual. If you don't agree, forget about this deal." Nine-tailed Snake also played the game of retreating to advance.
Su Mu pretended to struggle, and finally compromised: "Okay, let's change it."
When the Nine-tailed Snake saw this scene, it actually felt a sense of satisfaction in its heart, as if it had defeated Su Mu and extracted great benefits from him.
"I want to take samples to inspect the goods first!" Nine-tailed Snake made another request.
Su Mu did not comment. He waved his finger and a pill floating in the air was about to fly out.
"Don't want this one, want the fourth one on its left." The Nine-tailed Snake suddenly spoke.
Su Mu did not refuse and did as he was told.
Anyway, this batch of pills has not been adulterated yet, so they can pick any one of them for inspection without worrying about being exposed.
After getting the elixir and feeling the fragrance and spiritual energy emanating from the elixir, the Nine-tailed Snake wanted to swallow it in one gulp.
But it finally suppressed its desire, called a human-snake next to it, let it swallow the elixir, observed for a moment, and asked the human-snake about its condition using the snake's way of communication. After confirming that not only was there no problem with the elixir, but also that the spiritual energy was extremely rich and pure, it opened its mouth and swallowed the human-snake.
The human snakes around were originally envious of this fellow snake, but they were no longer envious in an instant.
Feeling the nourishment of the spiritual energy, the nine-tailed snake let out a breath of foul air, feeling extremely comfortable.
Then it asked: "How to trade?"
At the moment when the nine-tailed snake was distracted by eating the human snake, Su Mu had already used the quick replacement function of the space bracelet to mix a large amount of poison pills [Dancing is Not as Good as Cultivation] into the spiritual pill.
These two kinds of elixirs are very similar in every aspect, and ordinary people cannot tell them apart at all, let alone the Nine-tailed Snake who has seen these two kinds of elixirs for the first time?
It is totally unaware.
"You give me the money and I give you the goods. You give me the snake skin and the Blood Corpse God's eggs, and I'll give you the elixir."
"good!"
