Inside the palace, Ling Xian stared at the tied up elder and grinned, "Why should I save you?"
"It is fate that brought us together. Especially under these circumstances, it is rare to see you again. Shouldn't you save me?"
The elder continued, "Plus, you should be thanking me. If I didn't enter the palace before you, you would be the one being tied up right now."
"Wrong choice of words. I shouldn't be thanking you, I should be thanking you."
Ling Xian grinned, "Before, I was annoyed that I was late. But now, I am glad that you were one step ahead of me."
"You bastard!"
The old man was furious, but when he thought of his own situation, he could only suppress his anger and earnestly said, "If two people work together, it will definitely be much smoother and safer than working alone. Don't forget, this is the most important place on the Holy Island. We can be found at any moment. "
"That is true. But I still have no reason to save you."
Ling Xian continued to smile, "I have already entered the palace and can take all the treasures here. Why should I share them with you?"
Hearing this, the elder silenced.
Because he had nothing to argue with. If the person being tied up was Ling Xian, he wouldn't have helped.
"Just stay here. After I take all the treasures, I might consider saving you." Ling Xian smiled and shifted his gaze forward.
Then, his eyes turned heated.
There were three balls of light floating before him. He didn't know what the other two were, but he was certain of one. Because the Essence of Herbalism gave him a hint.
Dark Fragrance Silk, 100,000 years old. It can heal wounds, warm the soul, and increase one's cultivation level.
This was the information given by the Essence of Herbalism. It was pitifully little. However, to Ling Xian, it didn't matter how much information there was or what effect it had. All that mattered was that it was the Dark Fragrance Silk!
"I have finally found you."
Ling Xian's gaze was heated. The Dark Fragrance Silk was one of the seven miraculous medicines and was the key to whether or not he could get rid of the curse. Now that he had finally seen it, why wouldn't his heart be heated?
One could even describe his excitement. It wasn't just because of the Dark Fragrance Silk, it was also because of the other two balls of light.
Even though he didn't know what kind of treasure was inside, how could it be ordinary for it to be placed in the Divine Sacred Hall on par with the Dark Fragrance Silk Silk?
Therefore, Ling Xian was excited. Without another word, he reappeared before the ball of light and prepared to take it into his pouch.
However, he did not succeed.
The balls of light exploded with blinding light that resembled three miniature suns. The terrifying repulsive force slammed Ling Xian into the wall.
Bang!
His bones broke and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. Ling Xian frowned. He didn't think the ball of light could explode with such power.
Don't forget, he was an unparalleled monster with six supreme realms. Yet, he was sent flying by the power of the ball of light. Just how much power was needed to achieve this?
Although he was careless, it was enough to prove how powerful the ball of light was.
"Haha, idiot, are you dumbfounded?" The old man laughed loudly, taking pleasure in his misfortune.
This made Ling Xian frown. However, he ignored it and focused on the ball of light.
After knocking him out, the ball of light returned to its previous calmness. There was no more blinding light and no more terrifying power.
However, when he reappeared before the ball of light, the blinding light reappeared as well. What followed was an extremely dominating repulsive force.
Without a doubt, Ling Xian was once again knocked out. What was different was that this time, he used the Flower of Dao and wasn't hurt.
However, he was still shaken to the point that his Qi and blood were churning, and his face was pale.
"Stop trying. With your cultivation level, you cannot defend against this force. There is no way you can take it." The old man's eyes were full of mockery. It was obvious that he was gloating.
Ling Xian could only remain silent and had no words to argue against this.
If it happened once, it could be said that he was careless. But if it happened twice, then he really couldn't.
Just like the old man had said, he really couldn't defend against this force. In other words, there was no way he could take the Dark Fragrance Silk Silk away.
"Dammit, do I have to give up …"
Ling Xian's expression darkened and his eyes were full of unwillingness to give up.
He was only one step away from the Dark Fragrance Silk Silk, yet he couldn't get it. Who would be willing to give up?
But reality was before him. No matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't change anything!
"You don't want to give up?"
The old man grinned, "I have a way to break the ball of light and let you get the treasure inside."
Hearing this, Ling Xian's spirit lifted. He shifted his gaze towards the old man who was tied up in midair.
His hair was unkempt, his face was dirty, and his clothes were ragged. He looked exactly like a beggar. However, at this moment, he was exuding an extreme amount of confidence. Like the eternal Sun, he was shining brightly.
"Why should I believe you?"
Ling Xian frowned, "Why do you think I can save you?"
"Since you were able to walk into the palace, it means you have broken a quarter of the inhibition spells. Though it is only a quarter, it is enough to prove that you are very knowledgeable with arrays and arrays."
"If you and I work together, we can definitely break through the formation network that covers the sky. Without their support, a few imitation Immortal Binding Ropes are nothing to worry about."
"Of course, the most important reason is that you are the only one here. Other than you, I have no other choice."
The old man looked at Ling Xian with a smile, "You are the same. Other than me, you have no other choice."
Hearing this, Ling Xian fell into silence.
The old man was right. Other than trusting the other, they had no other choice.
However, Ling Xian didn't want to give up so easily, "I have a choice. You, on the other hand, have no choice."
"You do have a choice, but you will not choose."
The old man grinned, knowing that Ling Xian's choice was to leave.
"That's true. The treasure is right before my eyes. I really don't want to leave just like that."
Ling Xian softly sighed, "Tell me, how do we split it?"
"I have two, you have one. You have the right to choose first." The old man grinned.
"Impossible."
Ling Xian rejected right away, "You have to understand one thing. I can move freely. If worst comes to worst, we can just split up. I won't lose anything. But you are different. If nobody saves you, when the people from the Holy Island enter, you will die for sure. "
Hearing this, the old man was silent for a while, "So, you want two?"
"That's right. Plus, I want the right to choose first." Ling Xian said in a low voice. He wasn't going to give the old man the right to choose first. What if he chooses the Beautiful Silk?
"Impossible!"
The old man didn't agree and continued to argue, "You have to understand one thing. Without me, you won't even get a hair. Are you willing to come here for nothing?"
"It's better than you losing your life here."
Ling Xian glared at the old man. He knew that no matter how desperate he was, he couldn't make the first move. Or else he would lose this negotiation.
The old man knew this very well.
Neither of them had a choice. Both of them had the other's life in their hands. However, in comparison, he was the one who was more passive.
Because Ling Xian was holding his life in his hands.
Therefore, after a long while, the old man sighed and had to back off.
