"Temple Master Wan, let's not beat around the bush. Although the Heavenly Dao cannot be seen or touched, at our level of cultivation, we naturally know that the Heavenly Dao exists naturally. If we really destroy a lower level realm, we will definitely be severely punished by the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, those lower level realms would have been destroyed long ago."
Bai Yun Emperor was burning with impatience, so he did not have the time to listen to her. He directly interrupted her and said with a sincere expression, "I swear on my reputation as Bai Yun Emperor that my friend only wants to enter a lower level realm because he has bloodline descendants living in that realm. He wants to visit them, but he will definitely not destroy that realm. Otherwise, let alone the punishment of the Heavenly Dao, even I will not let him go. I still have other matters to attend to, so let's not beat around the bush. Just state your price. As long as it is not too outrageous, I will accept it on behalf of my friend."
Wan Nujiao looked deeply at him, then smiled and said, "Since Bai Yun Emperor is so straightforward, I will also be frank with you. Our Heavenly Fate Palace does have some methods to enter lower level realms, but you should know that leaking these methods is a serious violation of the will of the Heavenly Dao. Our Heavenly Fate Palace will also bear the consequences and will be punished by the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, the price will be correspondingly high …"
"I know, I know. Palace Master Wan, just name the price. If it's suitable, I'll make the decision. If it's too outrageous, I can only persuade my friend to give up on the idea of looking for a bloodline descendant."
Although Bai Yun Emperor could not wait, he was not going to be treated like a fat sheep. He said with a calm expression.
Wan Nujiao's eyes flickered. She thought that people who could become Monarchs were not easy to fool. It was getting harder and harder to do business these days.
Unfortunately, even though Bai Yun Di had concealed it very well, how could he hide the urgency and nervousness in his heart from her perception? Now that she had an idea, she did not panic at all. She immediately raised five fingers and said indifferently, "Five Heaven Connecting Pills and three Star Crystal Mines."
"What?"
Bai Yun Di Jun jumped up as if someone had stepped on his tail. He exclaimed in shock. His face darkened as he stared at Wan Nujiao coldly and said, "Since Palace Master Wan Nujiao is so insincere, then let's not talk about this business. Goodbye."
After that, he turned around and left, but he was counting to three in his heart. He believed that Wan Nujiao was asking for a sky-high price and would definitely stop him.
Unfortunately, Wan Nujiao's eyes were extremely sharp. How could she not see that he was playing hard to get? She sat there unhurriedly and calmly sipped her tea. She didn't even raise her head as she said, "Farewell, Emperor Bai Yun. This servant still has matters to attend to, so I won't be seeing you off personally. Yun 'er, Nuo' er, help me send the Emperor Bai Yun off."
"Yes."
The two maidservants who had been standing behind her all this time bowed and quickly walked towards Emperor Bai Yun. They bowed slightly and said, "Emperor Bai Yun, please take care."
White Cloud Emperor's face turned green and red. He could neither leave nor stay. He stood there in a dilemma.
If he left, it would be equivalent to giving up on the great opportunity of the Three Realms. How could he be willing to accept that?
However, if he didn't leave, Wan Nujiao's conditions were too ridiculous. The Star Crystal Mine was fine. Although it could bring him a lot of profit every year, it was just a worldly possession after all. It didn't have much effect on the growth of his strength. Compared to the great opportunity of the Three Realms, it was not worth mentioning.
However, five Celestial Pills. This price was too high. It should be known that the Celestial Pill was one of the few pills that could be useful to Immortal rank experts.
Moreover, it was an immortal pill that could help Immortal rank experts break through bottlenecks. Even if it could only increase the chances of breaking through by 10%, it was enough to make everyone go crazy.
Five Celestial Pills. He did have five of them.
However, that was all.
He had painstakingly accumulated them over millions of years of continuous missions. He was waiting for his strength to reach the critical point of the Early-stage Emperor Realm before taking them to break through to the Middle-stage Emperor Realm. Asking him to take them out was like cutting off his flesh.
"Two Celestial Pills and five Star Crystal Mines."
White Cloud Emperor's expression changed. After weighing the pros and cons, he still couldn't give up the great opportunity of the Three Realms. He couldn't care less about his face and turned around to bargain. He would rather lose two more Star Crystal Mines than take out the Celestial Pills.
A crafty look flashed in Wan Nujiao's eyes, but her expression didn't change. She slowly sipped her tea and said indifferently without raising her head, "Take care, Emperor."
What a joke. Since she was sure that White Cloud Emperor was determined to get the method to enter the lower realms, she naturally wanted to maximize the profit. What she played was psychological warfare. At this time, it depended on who could remain calm.
Although Star Crystal Mines were good and the Star Crystals mined from them were the main currency of the various planes, they were nothing to a colossus like the Heavenly Fate Palace. Only Immortal Pills like the Celestial Elixir, which could help people break through, could be used as hard currency.
It was no exaggeration to say that a Celestial Pill might be able to help a late-stage Immortal Emperor Realm expert break through to the peak of the Immortal Emperor Realm. Its value was comparable to ten Star Crystal Mines. Moreover, there was no market for it. There was no place to exchange it. If she didn't seize this opportunity to take advantage of White Cloud Emperor, she felt that it would be a crime.
However, this also made her very curious. What exactly was in that lower realms that made a dignified Emperor Realm expert want to enter at all costs?
Not to mention that his friend's descendant lived there. It was fine to lie to others, but to lie to Wan Nujiao was simply an insult to her intelligence.
Of course, no matter how curious she was, she wouldn't foolishly show it. After all, this went against the Heavenly Fate Palace's principle. Once this matter spread, it would seriously affect the Heavenly Fate Palace's reputation.
However, she secretly made up her mind. After reaching an agreement, she would secretly investigate and see what exactly was in that lower realms that White Cloud Emperor valued so much.
"Three Celestial Pills and ten Star Crystal Mines. This is my bottom line. If it's still not enough, then I can't make the decision. I will have to discuss it with my friend before making a decision."
White Cloud Emperor gritted his teeth and made a concession. However, he really wasn't suitable for negotiations. He was afraid that this matter would fail, so he subconsciously added fuel to the fire and left himself a way out.
It was because of this that Wan Nujiao, who thought that she had reached his bottom line, realized that there was still room for negotiation. She was about to blurt out the word "deal", but she swallowed it back down and shook her head. With an apologetic expression, she said, "Then, Lord Emperor, you should discuss it with your friend before making a decision. Take care."
White Cloud Emperor's face turned ashen. He didn't expect that it was because of his lack of determination that Wan Nujiao had grasped his bottom line. He released a terrifying pressure and said gloomily, "This Emperor has shown enough sincerity. I have made concessions again and again. Temple Master Wan, please don't go too far."
Wan Nujiao's face sank when she heard this. Although the pressure made her tremble with fear, she was not afraid. She said coldly, "Even if we can't make a deal, we can still be friends. Could it be that White Cloud Emperor thinks this humble one is a woman and wants to force a deal?"
White Cloud Emperor's heart trembled when he heard this. He realized that he had been impulsive. The Heavenly Fate Palace was not an organization that he could offend. Although Ashes, who was behind him, was not afraid of the Heavenly Fate Palace, she was not willing to easily provoke them.
This point could be seen when an employer took out a treasure that could move even a Celestial Venerable as a commission and asked Ashes to assassinate a high-ranking member of the Heavenly Fate Palace. In the end, she was rejected.
White Cloud Emperor immediately withdrew his pressure and apologized, "Temple Master Wan is too serious. This Emperor only lost his composure in a moment of excitement. Since the price is set, let's talk for now.
If you don't agree, then this Emperor will take his leave first. I will discuss with my friend before making a decision. "
White Cloud Emperor was not thick-skinned enough to stay and continue to bargain. Moreover, Wan Nujiao was angry now. It was not a good time to negotiate. It was better to wait for a while.
"Strange, this White Cloud Emperor's pressure seems to be only at the middle stage of the Immortal Sky Emperor Realm. Is he injured, or is he deliberately restraining his pressure?"
After White Cloud Emperor left, the anger on Wan Nujiao's face quickly faded. Her beautiful eyes flashed with doubt. She whispered softly, as if she was asking a question.
"Miss, you didn't see wrong. He is indeed injured. His Divine Soul is seriously injured. His current strength is at most at the middle stage of the Immortal Sky Emperor Realm."
A ghostly figure quietly appeared, bowed, and answered in a deep voice.
It was an old woman. Her body was as thin as firewood. Her pair of turbid eyes flashed with a terrifying light.
If White Cloud Emperor saw this old woman, he would definitely be shocked.
This was because this old woman was a Heavenly Venerate level expert, and the fact that a Heavenly Venerate level expert was so respectful to a mere branch hall master was enough to show how extraordinary Wan Nujiao's identity was.
"If that's the case, won't I make a huge profit again?"
Wan Nujiao seemed to have known about the old woman's existence long ago. She was not surprised at all. Instead, she smiled like a fox. "A while ago, someone seemed to have set their eyes on White Cloud Emperor and asked about him. They seem to be extremely generous."
The old woman laughed involuntarily. She looked at Wan Nujiao benevolently and smiled. "Miss, your ability to make money really is unparalleled."
Wan Nujiao smiled disapprovingly, but a sliver of undetectable sadness flashed through her eyes. No matter how great her ability to make money, she could only be a merchant in the end. She could not become a supreme expert who reigned above the Nine Heavens.
The old woman sensed the gloominess in her eyes with her sharp senses. She sighed inside. The young lady's life was truly bitter. Her damned constitution made it basically impossible for her to become an Eternal Emperor, let alone Reciprocity. That was why the old woman had sent her down to a lower world with the intention of making good use of trash. She wanted to use her outstanding talent for business to earn money.
Wan Nujiao seemed to have accepted her fate long ago. She pulled herself together very quickly. Her eyes flashed with wisdom. "That White Cloud Emperor is determined to get that low level realm. He will definitely return soon. I'll leave for now and keep him in suspense. Next, I'll raise the price. Also, investigate that low level realm called the Three Realms that he wants to enter. See what it is that can make him, an Emperor, so willing to pay such a price."
"Yes, I'll get Wan Kang to come over and receive that White Cloud Emperor. I'll personally investigate that low level realm called the Three Realms."
The old woman respectfully replied. She watched Wan Nujiao turn around and leave before disappearing in a flash. She did not doubt Miss's judgment at all. Although her strength was a little lacking, her wisdom and insight were unmatched.
In the backyard of the Sky Fate Palace, in an ancient building, Wan Nujiao stood in her bedroom. She stared blankly at a portrait that hung on the wall.
The portrait was of a young man with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. His gaze was gentle, his facial features were distinct, and his face was resolute. The corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he seemed to be smiling yet not smiling.
If Ding Ning saw this portrait, he would definitely be shocked. This was because the young man in the portrait looked exactly like him.
"Sigh!"
Wan Nujiao frowned and stared at the portrait. She murmured faintly, "Who are you? Why do you always appear in my dreams? It also gives me an inexplicable sense of intimacy. "
