Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation
Chapter 1128 - Chapter 1128 Chapter 766 Pie in the Sky

Chapter 1128: Chapter 766: Pie in the Sky Chapter 1128: Chapter 766: Pie in the Sky He Song’s gaze swept past Zhou Ruo, his expression indifferent.

However, from the words he spoke, an undeniable firmness could still be heard.

Upon hearing these words,

the fervent expression on Zhou Ruo’s face gradually faded.

Previously, when she heard He Song speak, claiming that now he had obtained the advanced tunneling skill, it was naturally time for him to fulfill the promise he had made earlier.

It was time for him to present her with the promised Foundation Establishment Elixir and other treasures.

At that time, although Zhou Ruo felt that something was slightly amiss,

after all, she had not yet started to exert effort to demand various rewards from He Song for her actions.

The help she had provided He Song during this time was actually not significant.

You see,

from the moment Zhou Ruo agreed to assist He Song by conveying messages,

up until now, she had only transmitted two pieces of useful information to him.

Once, was when the Golden Elixir Cave Mansion was revealed.

And the second time was this one,

when she relayed the message to He Song that someone in the Northwind Prefecture was auctioning an advanced tunneling skill.

But in Zhou Ruo’s view, these two events were quite ordinary and could not possibly warrant her obtaining other treasures from He Song,

let alone a Foundation Establishment Elixir that could help her step into the Foundation Establishment Realm and become a person above others.

She was, of course, aware of the rarity of the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

And what she had done for He Song didn’t really amount to much.

No work, no reward.

She understood that principle.

Therefore, when she heard He Song bring up the matter and express his wish to fulfill his previous promise,

although her heart was filled with desire for the Foundation Establishment Elixir spoken by He Song, and was significantly eager,

still,

a trace of anxiety also flickered through her thoughts.

Because she knew that what she had done was not worth a Foundation Establishment Elixir or any other treasures.

She believed that He Song would undoubtedly be aware of this reason as well.

In such circumstances, He Song was still stating his intention to honor his previous promises.

Therefore, in Zhou Ruo’s view,

He Song’s actions must have an ulterior motive.

And as the rest of He Song’s words fell,

Zhou Ruo’s original doubts at that moment became reality.

To obtain that Foundation Establishment Elixir and some other treasures from He Song,

she would inevitably have to agree to a condition set by He Song.

As for what this condition was,

although Zhou Ruo was full of questions at this moment, one thing she could be certain of,

was that,

the value of the condition proposed by He Song would definitely exceed the worth of that Foundation Establishment Elixir and any other treasures he might offer.

This value disparity could be several times over, or even more than tenfold.

However,

even as such thoughts flashed through Zhou Ruo’s mind,

her gaze nevertheless continuously settled on the small jade bottle in He Song’s hand.

In that small jade bottle,

was an elixir that could drive countless Qi Refining cultivators insane!

For any Qi Refining cultivator, a Foundation Establishment Elixir was an extremely precious treasure.

For a single elixir,

a multitude of Qi Condensation Cultivators would even engage in all sorts of jaw-dropping acts.

And at this very moment,

a Foundation Establishment Elixir was placed so clearly before Zhou Ruo.

Naturally, Zhou Ruo coveted it tremendously.

Only,

He Song’s power was simply too strong.

In Zhou Ruo’s mind, He Song was a cultivator at the peak of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

With such power, killing Zhou Ruo, a little mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, would probably just require a simple gesture, and Zhou Ruo would have no place for burial.

Even if Zhou Ruo were to be killed by He Song,

the Foundation Establishment True Person of the Zhou Family wouldn’t dare to come knocking for an explanation.

What’s more, without He Song’s support, the Zhou Family might swiftly be taken advantage of by the Wu Family with its two Foundation Establishment cultivators.

While the Zhou Family currently still held a deterrent that made the Wu Family hesitate,

among the Wu Family’s two Foundation Establishment True Persons, there was one with three spirit roots.

If that triple spirit root cultivator of the Wu Family were to make a breakthrough, whether to the Late Foundation Establishment Stage or to Foundation Establishment Great Perfection,

they could effortlessly invalidate the Zhou Family’s leverage, leaving them without the strength to strike back.

When that time came,

describing the fate of the Zhou Family as a catastrophic disaster would not be an overstatement.

Similarly,

if Zhou Ruo were to refuse He Song’s request now,

leading to He Song leaving directly, or even killing her before he left,

the fate of the Zhou Family would naturally follow such a path.

Furthermore,

if He Song were to be even more extreme,

with his strength at the peak of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection,

he could rely on his power alone to annihilate the entire Zhou Family where she belonged.

Such outcomes were not impossible in the Cultivation World.

In such a situation,

Zhou Ruo and her Zhou Family truly had no recourse.

After all, with low strength, they simply couldn’t resist.

How could the Foundation Establishment cultivator of the Zhou Family withstand someone like He Song, a cultivator of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection?

In such a situation, the Zhou Family would likely fall even faster than the previous two conjectures.

Consequently,

Zhou Ruo sighed inwardly.

It seemed that even if He Song were to make some excessive demand, she would have to agree to it as well.

Otherwise, the consequences might not be something that she or her Zhou Family could bear.

With these thoughts in mind, Zhou Ruo’s expression on her face shifted from the previous fervency to solemnity.
