Chapter 1143: Chapter 711: The Mysterious Jade Token Part 2
Otherwise, even half-step Grandmaster Jiang Tao, along with dozens of his bravest subordinates, would have no chance against two mid-tier peak Great Grandmasters.
At this moment, Chu Mo gently waved his hand, and following Chu Mo’s gesture, Jiang Tao, still with blood on the corner of his mouth, immediately led about a dozen bodyguards to withdraw from the hall. Opposite them, a girl as delicate as a doll delicately brought over a chair. After taking out a snow-white handkerchief from her bosom and carefully wiping the chair clean, the girl respectfully pushed it to the side.
It was only then that the stunning woman wearing a light veil delicately sat down. Her eyes, vast as the starry sea, gently swept over Chu Mo. After a moment, the woman spoke in a distinct voice:
“Mr. Chu, I presume? I’m Xue Yuluo, a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Chu!”
The woman, with a pleasant face, had a voice melodious and captivating, like a oriole bird, leaving one engaged and unable to extricate oneself, the sheer crispness of her voice inducing a floating sensation, inescapable.
Chu Mo’s eyes showed a momentary loss of focus, but the next moment, the Sharira in his bosom suddenly emitted a faint human flow. With the influx of mysterious energy from the Sharira, Chu Mo, originally enthralled, immediately became clear-headed again. Glancing at Lu Siyue opposite him, Chu Mo realized that Lu Siyue seemed completely dull, her once lively eyes now devoid of any brilliance—clearly, her soul had been captivated by the woman’s enchanting voice.
Chu Mo slightly narrowed his eyes, not until then did he realize the prowess of the woman opposite him.
This woman, who claimed to be Xue Yuluo, had such a terrifying charm with just a feathery word, capable of bewitching one to the point of mindlessness. Chu Mo was certain that if not for the Sharira in his possession, he would have been exactly like Lu Siyue, foolish and void of any cognitive ability.
Taking a gentle breath, Chu Mo gently caressed the Sharira in his pocket. It could be said that as time passed, Chu Mo slowly discovered how mysterious and precious this Sharira was. Being a Shaolin treasure, not only could it speed up one’s cultivation but also shield one from various invasions—truly an invaluable treasure.
Regrettably, when Chu Mo initially acquired the Sharira, he was unaware of its preciousness and had squandered most of the mystical energy within. Now, the energy left in the whole Sharira was less than one-twentieth of its original, becoming exceptionally scarce.
A twinge of pain flashed in his heart, Chu Mo held the Sharira tightly and took a deep breath. He glanced sideways at the mysterious woman opposite and said flatly:
“Miss Xue, you have harmed my servant unwarrantedly. I wonder, what exactly is your purpose for coming here!”
The woman’s eyes slightly narrowed. She seemed to be smiling. However, her voice was extraordinarily insipid:
“I am here to propose a trade with you, Mr. Chu. One hundred billion in exchange for your Heavenly Spirit Pill and the Sharira in your hand. Additionally, fifty billion more for two No. 2 Longevity Pills… Mr. Chu, I believe you’ll definitely not refuse!”
Her voice seemed to carry a bewitching magic. When she spoke, Chu Mo’s gaze once again blurred, even making his entire being hazy. Just as Chu Mo was about to inadvertently agree, the last bit of energy in the Sharira surged into his body. As the remaining mysterious energy continually circulated within him, feeling a slight heat throughout his body, Chu Mo finally regained clarity. His originally bewildered eyes turned resolute once again and after taking a deep breath, Chu Mo gently stated:
“Miss, your joke is not funny!”
One hundred billion to exchange for the Heavenly Spirit Pill and Sharira in Chu Mo’s hand was pure fantasy. Even if the mystical energy in the Sharira was nearly exhausted, it was still an incredibly rare treasure. The Heavenly Spirit Pill was an even rarer gem, possibly extinct in the world and also the foundation for Chu Mo’s research into the No. 3 Longevity Pill. Having already invested over a trillion for the sake of this research, not to mention a measly hundred billion, even if one were to offer a thousand billion, or even five thousand billion or a trillion in exchange for Chu Mo’s Heavenly Spirit Pill, he would definitely refuse.
As for the other party wanting to exchange a mere fifty billion for the two No. 2 Longevity Pills in his possession, that’s simply a fool’s dream.
No. 2 Longevity Pills are particularly special due to the ingredients used. Only twenty pills were produced, and after various expenditures, Chu Mo can only actually use nine of them. Chu Mo plans to utilize these nine No. 2 Longevity Pills to pave the way for his future and also to lay the foundation for his entry onto the world stage.
Therefore, even the closest people around him, including his representative Chu Mo himself, are reluctant to part with them. Let alone fifty billion, even if it were five hundred billion for a pill, Chu Mo would not easily release them.
It can be said that these people opposite him have no sincerity at all.
Under Chu Mo’s indifferent gaze, the woman in front of him seemed to smile. A trace of unusual brilliance emerged under her veil, and the woman said in an incredibly soft tone:
“Mr. Chu, I believe you have heard of the proverb ‘to have a priceless treasure is to invite trouble’. I initially came with kindness before force. If Mr. Chu refuses my goodwill this time, when the Xue family takes action again, it will not be as amiable as now. Mr. Chu, if I were you, I would seriously consider it.”
After the woman finished speaking, she did not say more. Instead, she slowly got up and then walked towards the door with a graceful posture.
The young girl, exquisitely carved like porcelain, also stepped forward and walked alongside her, while the pair of elderly twins with white hair still followed closely, one on the left and one on the right.
Just as the opposing party was about to walk out the door, the veiled woman suddenly paused, slowly turned her head, and then with eyes as bright as stars, looked directly at Chu Mo. Her eyes sparkled as she slightly arched her eyebrows and said:
“By the way, Mr. Chu, to show my apologies for earlier, I have a gift for you!”
After she spoke, she suddenly stretched out her fair, tender hand and waved it lightly. The next moment, a streak of light rapidly shot towards Chu Mo, and Lei Ting, who had been constantly guarding in front of Chu Mo, reflected a gleam in his eyes. This dutiful and tall man swiftly appeared in front of Chu Mo and reached out to grab the light.
However, Lei Ting clearly underestimated the speed of the light. Just as he reached out to intercept it, the light suddenly accelerated, and even with Lei Ting’s Great Grandmaster strength, he was unable to touch it at all.
The next moment, just as the light was about to hit Chu Mo’s forehead, a petite figure suddenly appeared. Qin Lan, still wearing her pajamas, suddenly blocked in front of Chu Mo. Her whole body exploded with a terrifying aura as she stretched out her delicate hand to grab the fearsome light.
With Qin Lan’s full power operation, the light containing immense power finally slammed into her relentlessly. Amid a muffled grunt, Qin Lan’s body retreated two steps, one foot sinking deeply into the ground before she paused.
When the Innate True Qi wrapped around Qin Lan slowly dissipated, visible in her palm was a shattered jade talisman with the character ‘Xue’ written in a vigorous and flowing script!
Only then did Qin Lan slowly retreat, placing the shattered jade talisman on the dining table in front of Chu Mo. When Chu Mo looked up again, the mysterious woman in the hall had disappeared.
“Mr. Chu, the strength of that woman just now should be at the peak of a half-step Grandmaster! And if I’m not mistaken, that woman’s age should not exceed twenty years old!”
What do you think?
