Chapter 752: 752
“Long Chen, come, sit!”
Shui Wuhen smiled and pointed toward a prayer mat .
There were three prayer mats in the room . Shui Wuhen was sitting on one, Shui Yuncong was sitting on another, and the last one was for Long Chen .
According to normal rules, as a disciple, Long Chen didn’t have the qualifications to sit here . But Shui Wuhen had never treated Long Chen as a disciple . Well, the main point was that Long Chen had never treated Shui Wuhen as a monastery head . They were already used to having no seniority between them .
Long Chen immediately sat . Without even looking at Shui Yuncong, he asked Shui Wuhen, “Monastery head, you wanted to see me?”
“It wasn’t Wuhen who wanted to see you, but me . ” Shui Yuncong was a bit irritated .
“Oh, isn’t this the Shui family head? Didn’t the vice sect master say you were to face a wall and ponder your misdeeds? You’ve already transcended?” Long Chen intentionally use transcended in a way that sounded like he was saying he had died .
Shui Yuncong was infuriated when this topic was brought up, but he indifferently said, “I came to find you to discuss something . ”
“I have nothing to say to you . ” Long Chen shook his head .
“You… you’re not even going to listen to what I have to say?!” raged Shui Yuncong .
Seeing this wily old fox being incomparably infuriated just from a few words from Long Chen, Shui Wuhen couldn’t help laughing inside . As she had thought, evil people were best handled by evil people .
Shui Wuhen had countless grievances with this family head of hers . When Shui Yuncong had asked to see Long Chen, she had actually thought of refusing . But then she also wanted to see what drugs he was on to want to see Long Chen now .
There had been one thing she had been sure of: there would definitely be a good show to watch when the two met . And as expected, Long Chen had only opened his mouth three times, and Shui Yuncong was on the verge of exploding .
“What is there to listen to? You want the Heavenly Water Pearl . What else is there to discuss?” said Long Chen disdainfully .
Shui Yuncong took a deep breath and suppressed his rage . He told himself he had to endure . He had to endure .
“I brought something that you urgently need . When it comes to value, it is definitely above the Heavenly Water Pearl…” said Shui Yuncong .
“Then you should keep it . What does it have to do with me? With your miserly character, would you really do something that would cause you to lose out? Even a ghost wouldn’t believe your story!” Long Chen rudely interrupted him .
Seeing Shui Yuncong’s enraged expression, Shui Wuhen couldn’t hold back a chuckle . She rebuked, “Long Chen, properly discuss this!”
Although she was chiding him, her shoulders were trembling from the effort of holding back her laughter .
Shui Yuncong might be the Shui family head and was used to verbal sparring with others, but Long Chen never acted according to standards . His mouth would say anything, and Shui Yuncong had never encountered such a person . That was because there had never been a person who had dared to speak to him like that, so he had no experience .
“Alright, to give face to my monastery head, I will speak frankly . Bring out whatever you have and let’s see if it’s satisfactory or not,” said Long Chen .
Long Chen also wanted to see just what he had brought . He clearly knew that Long Chen didn’t want to trade, but he had still come . He must have some confidence, or he wouldn’t have just come to embarrass himself .
Shui Yuncong didn’t say any more and took out an elegant case . Opening the case, he revealed a jade talisman .
The jade talisman was the size of a fist . Light could be seen dancing within it, and a majestic spatial strength slowly filled the room .
“World Piercing Jade Talisman . ”
Although she had known that Shui Yuncong must have brought something amazing, Shui Wuhen couldn’t help but let out a startled cry .
A slightly pained and unwilling expression appeared on Shui Yuncong’s face . “Yes . This is something that was passed down from ancient times . That mark on it is an immortal character: Spirit . In other words, this is a World Piercing Jade Talisman that connects to the Spirit World . It is able to break through the barrier between worlds, and allows you to travel back and forth . ”
“The Spirit World?”
Long Chen was extremely startled . Wasn’t that where the forest divinity had come from?
“You know about the Spirit World?” Now it was Shui Yuncong’s turn to be startled .
“I’ve heard of it . How is this World Piercing Jade Talisman used?” asked Long Chen .
“You can activate it at any place you please . It will allow you to break through space to enter the Spirit World . But within a month, you must rely on the talisman to return . You have to activate the talisman at the same spot as where you arrived in the Spirit World . If you miss that one month’s time limit, you’ll never be able to return!” said Shui Wuhen .
“Yes, that is correct . You should know that the Spirit World is filled with countless ancient Magical Beasts . Those Magical Beasts mostly possess pure bloodlines that give them limitless potential and great power . That Meng Qi has vast Spiritual Strength, but she doesn’t even have one good Magical Beast . For a soul cultivator like that to enter the Immemorial Path would be extremely dangerous . You should be very clear on that!” said Shui Yuncong .
Shui Wuhen’s expression changed slightly . Old foxes really were old foxes . He knew that Long Chen was someone who cared deeply about his relationships . He would be willing to do anything for the people beside him .
That was especially true of Meng Qi . By using her safety to entice Long Chen, it could be said he had truly struck Long Chen’s vulnerability .

“Family head, you really were willing to put in the capital for Shui Guanzhi . It seems our Shui family’s Nine Yang Battle Halberd has been tossed away by you,” said Shui Wuhen .
That Nine Yang Battle Halberd was a rare Treasure item . It contained a fierce Yang energy inside and was extremely precious . It was the Shui family’s most valuable treasure .
It was something every expert in the Shui family knew about . For Shui Yuncong to suddenly have a World Piercing Jade Talisman out of nowhere, it was clear he had traded the Nine Yang Battle Halberd .
Long Chen wouldn’t agree to trade for the Nine Yang Battle Halberd . But this World Piercing Jade Talisman was something that would definitely entice him . He wouldn’t let Meng Qi face danger .
Shui Wuhen was saying this to make sure Long Chen was careful . He had to be clear about everything, because once Shui Guanzhi obtained the Heavenly Water Pearl, the chance of him becoming a rank three Celestial was extremely high . And for the Shui family, they definitely wouldn’t make an investment for money .
If Shui Guanzhi advanced to become a rank three Celestial, then once they entered the Immemorial Path, the first person he would kill was definitely Long Chen .
“That really is enticing . Then let me ask, how many people can use this World Piercing Jade Talisman?” asked Long Chen .
“Two . ”
Long Chen couldn’t help being disappointed . If only two people could use it, then he couldn’t bring Tang Wan-er and find her a good housepet too . Currently, their housepets could only be used as mounts . They weren’t strong enough to fight alongside them anymore .
Long Chen truly was moved, because on the border of the Phoenix Cry Empire, in a nameless village, he had seen the forest divinity break through the void to return to the Spirit World . And from that spatial channel, he had seen a shocking scene .
There were huge, ancient trees, birds as large as mountains, and countless precious beasts . There would definitely be powerful Magical Beasts to capture there .
First, Meng Qi needed a powerful Magical Beast to protect herself . Otherwise, he really would worry a great deal for her . Although her soul energy was powerful, figures as important as Celestials would all be given soul items to protect themselves if their own Spiritual Strength wasn’t strong enough .
Second, Long Chen also needed to go to the Spirit World to find some trees that could hold more life energy to replace his current trees . Otherwise, he would be suppressed when fighting against Celestials in the future .
Third, he wanted to see if he could find some clues about the forest divinity . Last time, the divine life drops it had given Long Chen had saved him and the people by his side several times . That debt was enormous, and he had to find some way to return it .
“This thing’s not bad, but it seems like I would be at an immense disadvantage if I accepted!” Long Chen shook his head .
“Oh? Why do you say that?” asked Shui Yuncong lightly .
As a wily old fox, he knew he had found Long Chen’s weak point . He knew Long Chen definitely wanted to trade, but he was just trying to haggle and increase the price . He had seen such a thing many times now .
So, he was very calm . He felt that the initiative was now in his hands . He wasn’t worried about Long Chen not trading .
Long Chen smiled slightly at Shui Yuncong . “I know what you’re thinking . I can’t help worrying about your intelligence!”
“Oh? I’d like to hear more about that . ” Shui Yuncong merely smiled slightly . He had long since been prepared for this .
“I really do want this, but there are a few key points . First, have you ever gone to the Spirit World?” asked Long Chen .
“No, but-”
“Don’t bother telling me there are records . If just theories were useful, what would be the point of practice? You haven’t gone to the Spirit World, so how do you know I won’t just be immediately killed by a rank seven or even rank eight Magical Beast as soon as I enter?” asked Long Chen .
“This-”
“Second, even if I can get there safely, the legends say that the forest there is so huge that it swallows the sky, and that huge beasts roam the land . Won’t we find it difficult to take a single step in any direction?” continued Long Chen .
Shui Yuncong was speechless . Long Chen’s words were reasonable, and he couldn’t retort . He was about to say some theoretical words when Long Chen opened his mouth again .
“Third, even if there aren’t any Magical Beasts blocking our path and everything goes smoothly, do you think a powerful Magical Beast will allow itself to be captured by us as easily as a pig? In just a month’s time, we have to look for and capture powerful Magical Beasts, and then also return to our original location . Just how high do you think our chances are?
“If we aren’t able to capture any powerful Magical Beast, it would be better for us to just capture a few weaker Magical Beasts in this world . Then, I won’t have to waste this Heavenly Water Pearl .
“So, respected family head, tell me, with your wisdom, just how big do you think my heart would have to be to agree to your proposal?” asked Long Chen .
Shui Yuncong was immediately speechless . According to Long Chen’s analysis, it truly seemed like he was the only one losing out .
“But the Spirit World is filled with countless treasures and unlimited opportunities . If your luck is good-” quibbled Shui Yuncong .
“Don’t you think talking to me about luck is a provocation?” Long Chen pointed to the belt he was still wearing on his waist .
Shui Yuncong immediately thought of Long Chen’s heaven-defying luck . His heart sank, but he maintained a calm expression . “Then let me hear your suggestion!”
“My suggestion is very simple . I will exchange with you,” said Long Chen, causing Shui Yuncong to be delighted .
“But, you have to pay me an additional three million middle grade spirit stones . ”
Shui Yuncong’s smile disappeared .
