Chapter 688: Chapter 685 Each Takes What They Need

"No wonder the jail barrier was so powerful, it turns out that Guizhong Mingsi created it after comprehending the Demon Exorcism Records." Lin Tian sighed, making a mental note of the scroll.

Guizhong Mingsi was merely able to create a powerful jail barrier just by comprehending the Demon Exorcism Records. If one were to fully understand it and even bring about innovations, how formidable would that person’s Taoist magic be?

Lin Tian knew in his heart that, as a zombie, he was destined to face Demon Exorcists sooner or later. It was inevitable, there was no hiding, no escaping, and he disdained both.

But it didn’t mean he didn’t have his own thoughts. What would happen if he faced a Demon Exorcist who had comprehended the Demon Exorcism Records in the future? Thinking of this, he wasn’t afraid. Instead, he was vaguely looking forward to it, to the day when the battle would arrive. Only through combat, fiercer combat, could a zombie’s potential be stimulated, and he could become stronger!

He had encountered a Third-level Yellow-eyed Zombie before, and now the Demon Exorcism Records had appeared, falling into the hands of the Heavenly Master Girl. It could be foreseen that with the Heavenly Master Girl’s talent and intuition, her strength would inevitably increase.

Having such a strong person around, just as Xu Feibai had said, the world would no longer be lonely. The scariest thing in life was losing the motivation to become stronger.

Holding the scroll, the Heavenly Master Girl’s gaze turned to Lin Tian, her eyes gleaming with the same embarrassment and anticipation as Ning Luoxi’s before.

Lin Tian didn’t wait for her to speak, but instead said generously, "Stop looking at me. If you want the Demon Exorcism Records, just take it. It rightly belongs to you Demon Exorcists."

"Thank you," Ning Luoxi said earnestly.

"However..." Lin Tian suddenly added.

"Whatever condition you have, just say it. For the Demon Exorcism Records, I can agree to anything," the Heavenly Master Girl said in a rush, thinking Lin Tian was going back on his word.

Lin Tian was somewhat amused inside. This little girl really cared about the Demon Exorcism Records. In her urgency, she dared to agree to anything. People always say high intelligence sometimes means low emotional quotient, and the Heavenly Master Girl didn’t even know how to negotiate.

Although her face was covered with a purple veil, obscuring her true look, the smooth forehead, fair skin, long eyelashes, and mysterious-looking pupils all revealed that she was an exceptionally beautiful woman.

Enveloped by Lin Tian’s intense gaze, the Heavenly Master Girl’s breathing hitched. She was usually so calm and strong, but now she was flustered for a moment because it felt like she was being seen through under Lin Tian’s profound look.

"Don’t get any wrong ideas, the conditions I mentioned do not include this!" the Heavenly Master Girl regained her composure quickly after her initial panic, glaring as she exclaimed.

"Which ’this’ are you talking about?" Lin Tian asked, amused.

"I... In any case, I won’t let you, this big pervert, succeed!" the Heavenly Master Girl glared again, fiercely admonishing him.

"Hahahaha..." Seeing the strong Heavenly Master Girl also having such a cute side, Lin Tian couldn’t help but laugh heartily, shamelessly thinking to himself that he was indeed unique in history—being a zombie who dared to tease a Demon Exterminating Master, and a Heavenly Master at that.

Ning Luoxi shook her head, seemingly unable to watch anymore. Lin Tian knew not to flirt too much and appropriately stopped laughing. The Heavenly Master Girl was just anxious about the Demon Exorcism Records and that’s why she was acting out. If she were to reflect on it, she would surely explode in anger.

Lin Tian didn’t want to test the potency of the Demon-suppressing Whip. Although it couldn’t kill him, being struck by its purple lightning was very painful and some minor injuries were inevitable, along with ending up in an extremely sorry state.

He smiled slightly and said, "Heavenly Master, I don’t have any improper conditions. It was you who misunderstood. What I want to say is, having fought alongside us for so long, I haven’t yet seen your face, nor do I know your name. For comrades-in-arms, isn’t that a bit much?"

"You want to know my true face and name?" The Heavenly Master Girl was not a simple girl, quickly regaining her composure from Lin Tian’s flirting to ask back, and even Ning Luoxi looked at Lin Tian curiously.

Lin Tian didn’t know what Ning Luoxi’s look meant, but he nodded affirmatively anyway.

The Heavenly Master Girl hesitated for a moment before finally responding lightly, "Not now, but you’ll know in the future."

Lin Tian sighed regretfully. The Heavenly Master Girl was truly not easy to fool, but he was open-minded and didn’t press the matter any further. He had never intended to trouble the Heavenly Master Girl; his condition was just said casually, without any real expectation of an answer.

"Alright, the Demon Exorcism Records are yours to do with as you please. I was just joking before," Lin Tian said with a smile.

With these words from Lin Tian, the Heavenly Master Girl felt even more embarrassed, and so did Ning Luoxi. In their actions, Lin Tian had played the most significant role, and he hadn’t even claimed anything yet while they had already made two requests. This didn’t seem quite right.

"We both made requests. If you need anything from the Shrine, just choose," Ning Luoxi said somewhat sheepishly.

Actually, having unexpectedly obtained the beast skin, Lin Tian was already quite content.

Still, he said, "I personally don’t need much, but I can’t let down the brothers who have followed me on this mission. I hope Miss Luoxi, when you’re clearing out the Shrine’s inventory, will include them in your calculations and offer a fair compensation. They all have families to support."

Ning Luoxi nodded solemnly, saying, "That’s already been taken care of, without you mentioning it. You think of your brothers first; don’t you have any needs of your own?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Tian said, "Well, among these books, I could use a set on medical texts. I don’t need the originals; a photocopy will suffice. You should take the actual books—I can be careless, and it would be a pity if they were inadvertently damaged."

"That’s not a problem. I’ll go make a copy for you in a bit. Is there anything else you need?" Ning Luoxi agreed and continued asking because she felt Lin Tian’s request was too modest.

Medical texts were valuable indeed, but they couldn’t compare to the value of the Luminous Pearl or the Demon Exorcism Records, so both Ning Luoxi and the Heavenly Master Girl hoped Lin Tian would ask for something more substantial.

"Also, that medicinal cauldron of Oda Manaka’s—I could make use of it. Let the helicopter take it with them," Lin Tian said again.

"The medicinal cauldron?" Ning Luoxi paused, then recalled the one in the greenhouse that Oda Manaka used for refining medicine. She nodded, indicating no problem. She wanted to continue encouraging Lin Tian to make more requests, but Lin Tian gestured for her not to press anymore.
