Wang Baole's words were resolute, and they revealed a sense of fearlessness. It was as if he could give up his life, but even if he were to die in this life, he would die standing and not live kneeling. Therefore, he could help the other party. However, that was not because of a threat, but because that was his intention.
He was such a person who knew how to repay kindness, and his heart was filled with sincerity.
As he spoke, Wang Baole even felt that he had always been like this. Therefore, his gaze became deeper and deeper. He stood there like a pine tree, staring at the paper man in front of him, and spoke indifferently.
"Senior, please don't threaten me. Otherwise, wouldn't this junior's intention to repay you become cowardly and cowardly, and thus submit?"
"So, senior, please take back those words!" Wang Baole's face was displeased. At this point, he flicked his sleeves, and a hint of anger naturally appeared on his face.
This made the paper man stunned for a moment.
Even though it had observed Wang Baole for a long time along the way and had a little understanding of his nature, there was still a moment when it was shocked by Wang Baole's words. It even instinctively showed respect on its face, but it soon felt that the other party's performance was somewhat inconsistent with its understanding.
It was just that it had not been long since it followed Wang Baole, so it was unable to judge. At this moment, after a moment of silence, it put down this thought and nodded at Wang Baole.
"I made a mistake here. I will explain this matter in the future. In short … thank you for your help, fellow Daoist!"
Hearing this, Wang Baole's expression eased. He looked at the paper man, shook his head, and sighed softly.
"Forget it, senior is also worried about the common people. This junior can guess that what senior wants this junior to do is most likely related to the safety of the Starfall Empire. Senior can tell me what you need me to do when you think it is appropriate. Although my cultivation is low, I still have a lot of hot blood to spill!
However, now is not the time to talk about this. This junior also has something that I need senior's help with … where is the magic crystal here? "Wang Baole's expression was solemn as he spoke seriously.
As for the bottom of his heart, he was very satisfied with his previous performance. After all, the high officials' autobiographies had said that mutual respect was the prerequisite for both parties to be satisfied in a cooperation.
For example, right now, Wang Baole felt that if he gave others the impression that he was cooperating because he was threatened, then he would definitely be in a passive position in the cooperation. It would be very difficult for him to obtain additional benefits. However, it was different now.
In fact, that was indeed the case. If Wang Baole did not agree to help, the paper figurine could still use some forceful methods to force him. However, Wang Baole looked extremely sincere, as if he sincerely wanted to help from the bottom of his heart. This made the paper figurine unable to use force. After all, Wang Baole was willing to help from the bottom of his heart, which was perfectly in line with its goals.
If he continued to use force, it would be unreasonable.
However, the relationship between them had changed from working together to helping each other. Because of this, the relationship between them had unknowingly changed. This caused some confusion to surface in the depths of the paper doll's heart.
"How did it become like this after just a few words?" The paper doll frowned slightly. Although it previously felt that the other party had many secrets, to be honest, it only valued the other party's background and origins. It did not care too much about the other party himself.
But now … it was different. The paper doll, who had already reacted, realized that the foreign cultivator in front of it not only had a mysterious background, but also an extraordinary background. His intelligence was also excellent. Even if this kind of person did not have a high cultivation, if he was given time to grow, there would be a place for him in the galaxy in the future.
With such thoughts in mind, the paper doll looked deeply at Wang Baole. After muttering to itself for a while, it simply changed its previous thoughts. Originally, it had intended to reveal some clues so that the other party could find the Illusion Crystal in the end. This was very simple for it, and it was not troublesome at all.
But now, it felt that perhaps it could be more direct. After all … the other party's sincerity was something it did not want to cool down. Therefore, after glancing at Wang Baole, the paper doll spoke slowly.
"Young friend, I have some reasons that I can't tell you. It's not convenient for me to show up for a long time. Thus, most of the time, I won't show up. However, I can use my senses to help you find the location of the Illusion Crystal. You have to get it yourself."
Hearing this, Wang Baole's eyes brightened up. He nodded immediately.
After reaching an agreement with Wang Baole, the paper doll closed its eyes. Obviously, the energy fluctuation around its body was twisting. It seemed that it was using a method that Wang Baole did not understand to sense the entire Illusion Star. Not long after that, the paper doll opened its eyes. It raised its right hand and gathered a light spot, sending it to Wang Baole.
"Feel this thing. There's a Illusion Crystal inside!"
"Thank you, senior!" Wang Baole was cheered up. After calculating quickly, he felt that the possibility of the paper doll harming him wasn't big. Thus, he decisively took the light spot in front of him and scanned it with his Soul Consciousness. Instantly, his head boomed as a guiding force was condensed.
He could clearly feel that there was some energy fluctuation resonating with him not far from where he was. Thus, after clasping his fists to the paper doll, Wang Baole didn't waste any time. His body flashed and flew away at full speed according to the direction of the resonating force.
His speed was so fast that Wang Baole arrived at the location of the resonance after two hours. It looked like a basin, and the surroundings were bare. There were only a few dozen illusory figures that had drifted here after dispersing.
Wang Baole was unfamiliar with these phantoms. He knew that he wasn't the one who had killed them. They should be the death projections of the other Heaven's Favorites. Thus, after his Soul Consciousness scanned and confirmed that there were no other living beings around, Wang Baole didn't hesitate anymore. His body flashed and flew directly to the basin.
His movement immediately attracted the attention of the phantoms. They all raised their heads and looked at Wang Baole. The moment they saw him, they roared and rushed madly toward him.
However, these phantoms were mostly Yuanying. The strongest one was only in the Soul Conduit realm. For Wang Baole, their attack power was less than that of mosquitoes. He didn't even need to look at them. He swept them away with a whistling sound. The wind that was stirred up was enough to completely tear them apart. They posed no obstruction at all. In the blink of an eye, Wang Baole had entered the depths of the basin.
After a while, when he rushed out, he looked excited. In his hand was a fist-sized white crystal.
This crystal was crystal clear and seemed to have some special power. If one looked at it for a long time, they would start to hallucinate.
It was … the Illusion Crystal!
The paper doll's figure appeared beside Wang Baole and said slowly, "Young friend, take this and find a place to hide. When this trial is over, you can use this crystal to enter the next trial and compete for the Star-guiding Drumstick!"
"Senior, thank you for your help!" Wang Baole immediately clasped his fists. This trial was supposed to be very difficult. However, now that he had experienced the joy of being the Chosen One and it was so easy to obtain the Illusion Crystal, he couldn't help but feel excited. After blinking his eyes, his face was filled with gratitude. His eyes were burning as he continued to speak.
"Senior, I wonder if you can take me to find all the other Illusion Crystals?"
"Find all of them?" The paper doll was a little surprised.
"Yes, you can. However, it's meaningless. In this trial, there must be thirty people. Only then can all the Illusion Crystals be activated. Moreover, each person can only keep one Illusion Crystal. Even if you get all of them, in a few hours at most, the 29 Illusion Crystals will disappear automatically and appear in their original positions."
"Well …" Wang Baole was a little regretful. He had thought that if he could, he would have the right to decide this trial. At that time, if he met someone he liked, he would sell them at a lower price. Thus, thirty Illusion Crystals would be enough for him to make a fortune.
"I can also sell the positions … But I can't raise the price." Wang Baole sighed. He thought that it was too difficult to make money. When he was about to give up this idea, a light flashed in his head. He looked at the paper doll and suddenly asked.
"Senior, I wonder if you have a way to leave a seal on those Illusion Crystals so that when the time limit is over, the others can't enter the next trial without breaking the seal?"
