Chapter 239: Chapter 229: Senior Brother Yue’s Thoughts_2
Brother Yue’s words had scarcely fallen when Liu Yiyuan’s brow furrowed, his voice tinged with displeasure:
“Brother Yue…”
“For this matter, I have already paid out over a thousand Midium Grade Spirit Stones.”
“When you found me initially, that wasn’t what you said…”
Previously…
Liu Yiyuan had just arrived not long ago when this Brother Yue found him, saying he could help him enter the core cultivation area.
However.
He would need to pay a price, that is, hand over some Spirit Stones, and then he could arrange for his entrance into the core cultivation area.
Originally, Brother Yue said that only a hundred Midium Grade Spirit Stones were required.
Originally.
A hundred Midium Grade Spirit Stones weren’t much for Liu Yiyuan.
Moreover.
This man was a disciple of the Nanming Immortal Sect and also the senior brother of Yun Long; it seemed likely he could pull some strings to let him cultivate in the core area.
With this in mind…
Liu Yiyuan gladly agreed and gave Brother Yue a hundred Midium Grade Spirit Stones.
But the matter which had already been agreed upon, Brother Yue kept changing.
First it was a hundred, and then an unexpected increase to five hundred Midium Grade Spirit Stones.
And then…
He said he had yet to make some arrangements.
This Brother Yue took another five hundred Spirit Stones from him, which all together exceeded a thousand Midium Grade Spirit Stones.
Now, all the Spirit Stones he had were taken away by him.
And upon the arrival of Brother Yue, he was told that there had been yet another unexpected issue.
Of course, he felt uncomfortable, didn’t he?
Seeing Liu Yiyuan’s reaction, Brother Yue quickly tried to console him:
“Young Master Liu, don’t be anxious.”
“I didn’t explain things clearly just now, this is actually good news.”
After Brother Yue finished speaking, Liu Yiyuan, who was initially displeased, paused for a moment and then turned his head, looking at Brother Yue with confusion:
“Good news?”
Brother Yue nodded, then continued:
“Actually, it’s like this…”
“The arrangements for you to enter the core cultivation area had already been made.”
“But this incident inadvertently alarmed the Elder on duty.”
“The Elder, upon learning of this matter, did not stop it but merely gave me a lecture, asking me to be cautious and not to let the other two major sects know about it.”
After hearing this, Liu Yiyuan was stunned for a moment, then asked in bewilderment:
“The Elder actually allowed it?”
Brother Yue continued:
“Of course.”
“The reason for this…”
“Is because that Elder has a very good relationship with my master and usually treats me quite well.”
“It just so happens that it’s his turn on duty…”
“If it were any other Elder, I probably would’ve been punished by now.”
“So that’s how it is…”
“I misunderstood Brother Yue,” Liu Yiyuan spoke up.
“It’s nothing…”
Brother Yue waved it off and continued:
“So, I was thinking.”
“While he is on duty, maybe we could ask him for a favor to get you a drop of Cleansing Spirit Liquid for Young Master Liu.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yiyuan was shocked, his eyebrows knitted together, and then he inquired:
“Cleansing Spirit Liquid?”
“Brother Yue can get Cleansing Spirit Liquid?”
Brother Yue nodded and said:
“I can’t guarantee it one hundred percent, but this time is an opportunity. If missed, there really will be none.”
“However…”
“This matter requires that Elder’s approval.”
“So, Young Master Liu…”
Brother Yue hadn’t finished his sentence when Liu Yiyuan already understood.
It was.
He would need to pay out even more Spirit Stones, to bribe that Elder.
Thinking of this, Liu Yiyuan’s frown deepened, and after a moment, he said:
“Brother Yue…”
“Indeed, Cleansing Spirit Liquid is precious, and anyone’s heart would be moved.”
“But I have no Spirit Stones left.”
“And moreover…”
“I don’t believe that I have anything that could move that Elder, just by myself.”
After listening to this, Brother Yue then said:
“Young Master Liu.”
“This truly is the only chance.”
“Don’t you still have a Defensive Magical Treasure, third-tier Talismans, and Forbidden Artifacts on you?”
“If you could take out one, I could deliver it to that Elder, and maybe this matter would be settled.”
As Brother Yue’s voice fell, Liu Yiyuan took a step back, becoming immediately vigilant.
“How do you know about these items on me?”
Liu Yiyuan did indeed have these items on him.
But these.
Were his life-saving tools, which he wouldn’t readily tell anyone.
Seeing Liu Yiyuan like this, Brother Yue sensed trouble and quickly started explaining:
“Young Master Liu, as the most cherished descendant of the Liu Clan of Nanshan Immortal City, isn’t it normal for you to have such items?”
Brother Yue’s words also reminded Lin Jing, who had been watching.
Indeed.
Liu Yiyuan was deeply favored by Wu Cai Immortal, and his father was also a Golden Core Immortal.
Thus, it wasn’t surprising for him to have some Golden Core Stage Defensive Magical Treasures, or third-tier Talismans and Forbidden Artifacts on him.
Before…
Lin Jing was thinking of entering the cave dwelling and killing Liu Yiyuan.
Now, thinking back, he realized how ludicrous that idea was.
After hearing Brother Yue’s words, Liu Yiyuan’s expression eased somewhat, but he still kept his brows furrowed, not lowering his guard.
For some reason.
This time meeting Brother Yue, he felt some unaccountable irritation.
Perhaps it was because he had given him so many Spirit Stones, yet he hadn’t accomplished anything for him.
Or perhaps, it was something else.
At first.
He had asked him for help in dealing with Lin Jing.
At that time, he still had some good feelings towards Brother Yue.
But after that incident, Liu Yiyuan felt that his attitude towards him had changed.
Although, during their few conversations.
He still maintained a smiling face when facing him, just as before.
But Liu Yiyuan sensed that Brother Yue was clearly distancing himself from him.
Even when he brought up the matter about Lin Jing, Brother Yue only gave perfunctory responses.
