Inside the VIP room of the Tower of Thousand Treasures.
The elder's eyes were full of light and were no longer murky like before. His wrinkled face revealed a smile.
"It is my fault that you are here. Please, have a seat."
The elder flapped around his sleeve and the aroma of tea filled the room. The way he was smiling was a stark contrast to his previous coldness.
This made Ling Xian frown. But very quickly, his frown disappeared.
There was only one reason why the elder would change from arrogance to respect. That was because this person saw through Ling Xian's cultivation level.
"You have good eyesight."
Ling Xian slowly sat down and grinned, "You are merely at the advanced stage of the Path Choosing Stage. How did you see through my cultivation level?"
"As the manager of the Tower of Thousand Treasures, I don't dare to boast about other things, but I have seen many treasures."
The elder grinned and pointed at his eyes, "My eyes are not only good at appraising treasures, they are also good at recognizing people."
"That is true."
Ling Xian grinned and got straight to the point, "You already know why I am here. Just tell me, what do you need me to pay to get the Chains of Inhibition Breaking?"
"About that …"
The elder paused and shook his head, "I won't lie to you. No matter how high you offer, I will not give you the Chains of Inhibition Breaking."
"I don't believe you."
Ling Xian sipped on his tea, "I believe that life is priceless. I also believe that principles are priceless. But I do not believe that treasures are priceless."
"I don't believe it either."
The elder looked at Ling Xian with a smile, "But that is the reality. The Chains of Inhibition Breaking is not for sale."
Hearing this, Ling Xian frowned, "So you are saying there is nothing to talk about?"
"There is."
The elder looked at Ling Xian and said, "However, you must first prove your capabilities."
"Prove my capabilities?"
Ling Xian was a little startled. Just as he was confused, three middle-aged men at the peak of the Path Choosing Stage suddenly appeared inside the room.
Then, the three of them didn't say a word and charged over!
HOMMM!
The three of them were not weak and their attacks were ruthless. Their demeanor was rather dominating.
However, to the Ling Xian today, it was not enough.
He merely raised his hand and pointed a finger at the three of them and blocked them. Then, with a flick of his sleeve, peerless divine energy poured out and shook the three of them to the point that their blood and Qi roiled and they retreated in a sorry state.
Defeating three people in one move!
This was the battle prowess of a young Supreme-Being!
"So powerful!"
Seeing how Ling Xian defeated the three of them with one move, the elder's pupils constricted. He exclaimed, "You really are a young Lord. You are stronger than I thought."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, signaling the three of them to leave.
"This is the test you were talking about? Forgive me for being blunt, but I don't think it's difficult at all. "Ling Xian glared at the elder and continued to drink his tea.
"For a young Sovereign like you, it's naturally not difficult at all."
The old man praised, then cupped his hands together and said, "Young friend, please don't take what just happened to heart. This is just a test."
"If I had taken it to heart, you and the others would already be dead."
Ling Xian spoke softly, "I have guessed that the reason you are testing me is because of what you are going to tell me next. In other words, it has to do with breaking the Inhibition Chains. Therefore, I won't take it to heart."
Pausing, his voice turned cold, "But, this is the only time."
"Of course."
The elder smiled, "Young friend, you sure are smart to have guessed the reason why I am testing you." "Stop keeping me in suspense. What do you need me to do? Just say it."
Ling Xian spoke softly. He had guessed that the elder was planning on using the Inhibition Chains as a reward to ask him to do something.
Or else he wouldn't be testing Ling Xian's capabilities first.
"Okay, then I will say it."
The elder's smile disappeared, "I wonder if young friend, have you heard of the Taoism community?"
At this, Ling Xian was a little startled. He was from the Taoism community, why wouldn't he know about it?
However, he didn't say much and nodded softly, "I have."
"I need you to go to the Taoism community and help me find someone and bring her back." The elder said in a low voice.
"Find someone?"
Ling Xian frowned, "Based on what I know, the entrance between the two worlds has been sealed. It is not easy to go there."
"You don't have to worry about that. Since I asked you to go, I have my ways." The elder smiled proudly.
"Why me?" Ling Xian asked.
"Because I cannot help a sixth level cultivator pass the barrier. You are a young cultivator and an undefeatable being of the Dao Choosing level."
The elder looked at Ling Xian with a smile, "With your protection, I believe you can bring her back in one piece."
"It seems like this person is very important to you, or rather, to the Tower of Thousand Treasures."
Ling Xian softly grinned, "Tell me everything about this person."
"So you agree?" The elder's expression was ecstatic.
"I have no reason not to agree."
Ling Xian grinned. It was obvious that the Tower of Thousand Treasures wasn't selling the Inhibition Chains. If he wanted it, he had to agree to the elder's request.
Since his destination was the Taoism community, he could go back and check it out. He could also use the Inhibition Chains to break the curse on Gong Suo Xin.
"Haha, you are a smart person."
The elder laughed brightly, "This mission isn't dangerous, it's just a little troublesome. The reward is a priceless Inhibition Chains. This is a great deal."
"Let's not waste time. Tell me everything about this person." Ling Xian grinned.
Hearing this, the elder's expression flashed with embarrassment. He smiled, "I won't lie to you. Actually … actually, I have never seen this person."
At those words, Ling Xian almost spat out the tea he just drank.
Are you kidding me?
You haven't even seen her, how am I supposed to find her?
Ling Xian was speechless.
"About that … don't rush me. I know two things."
The old man smiled embarrassedly and said, "The first one is a woman. She should be quite good-looking. Second, she has three red moles under her left foot. "
"That's it?" Ling Xian asked.
"That's it." The elder nodded. Then, he saw Ling Xian's face darken.
"You … are you messing with me?"
Ling Xian glared at the elder, "The first thing is useless. The streets are full of women. The second thing is useless as well. Do you want me to take off every woman's shoes I see?"
"Luckily it's not on her butt. Or else I would have to take off her pants."
Hearing this, the elder bitterly smiled.
He knew that he was making things difficult. Based on these two pieces of information, it would be extremely difficult to find her in one country, let alone the entire Taoism community.
If he were to search the entire Taoism community, it would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. The chances of finding her were extremely low.
"I have no other choice. I will do my best and leave the rest to God." The elder sighed.
"I can go to the Taoism community and spend some time searching. But if I can't find her, what will I get for the reward?" Ling Xian asked.
"How about this? I will give you the Inhibition Chains right now. I only ask that you do your best to search. Even if you can't find her, I won't blame you."
The elder gritted his teeth, "What do you think?"
Hearing this, Ling Xian smiled. This was what he was waiting for.
