He was finally on the right track.
Qin Xiao chuckled inwardly, yet his face remained utterly calm.
Poison Not Dead was getting anxious, "Speak up, lad. I'm not bragging, but aside from the stars and moon in the sky which I can't bring down for you, there isn't a treasure in Soul Land that I cannot acquire."
As he spoke, he even proudly lifted the tray he was holding—the Divine Seal Altar.
As if to say, isn't the tiger's den that is Mingde Hall a place I come and go as I please?
And even snatched Jing Hongchen's peach?
Qin Xiao suddenly fixed his gaze on the tray in Poison Not Dead's hand.
"If I wanted the tray in your hands, would you give it to me?"
"What? You want it?" Poison Not Dead was shocked.
He had anticipated that Qin Xiao would request many precious and rare treasures, even possibly ones that the Body Sect did not possess.
He had already made up his mind to satisfy Qin Xiao at all costs, even if he had to rob to procure treasures not held by the Body Sect.
But he could never have anticipated that Qin Xiao would actually want a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast embryo. There are limits to being excessive but isn't this way over the line?
I pour out my heart to you and you have the gall to make such extortionate demands?
Poison Not Dead instinctively wanted to refuse.
But then he thought again, and realized it wouldn't do.
'Didn't I just boast a moment ago? Would it make me look... unable to put my money where my mouth is if I flatly refuse now?'
A thought struck Poison Not Dead, and he came up with an idea that could satisfy both parties.
"Lad, indeed, a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast embryo is a fine item, and a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring with Soul Bone is something countless Soul Masters covet.
But have you considered whether you have the life to demand it, and the power to use it?"
Qin Xiao said, "Never mind whether I'm qualified to use it, I'm just asking if you will give it to me or not."
"Lad, I won't blame you for your ignorance; after all, you are still too young. Yet I cannot simply watch you go astray.
How about this—I can provide you with a billion golden soul coins' worth of resources. Soul Bones, metals, or other materials for making soul tools—I can provide them all. How does that sound?"
It must be said that Poison Not Dead was indeed very sincere, going as far as offering Qin Xiao a deal worth a billion.
In reality, if Qin Xiao were truly a possessor of a self martial soul as well as a Soul Master, such terms wouldn't be unacceptable.
However, Qin Xiao was not.
Let's not forget he also possessed the Ultimate Ice attribute. The Snow Emperor would be a tremendous asset to him, and with Poison Not Dead having presented the Snow Emperor right before him, he genuinely could not find a reason to refuse.
To not accept would be to incur divine wrath.
Besides, isn't the value of the Snow Emperor worth far more than a billion?
"I only want what's in your hands; I don't need anything else," Qin Xiao answered resolutely.
"You, you truly are a stubborn one," Poison Not Dead said shaking his head helplessly, "The truth is, I really can't give you this hundred-thousand-year spirit beast embryo."
"Why?" Qin Xiao was somewhat surprised.
Poison Not Dead said earnestly, "Because if this hundred-thousand-year spirit beast embryo ends up in your hands, you wouldn't even be able to absorb its Soul Ring, and at most you'd obtain a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone—an utter waste.
For others, it's different. Within our sect, there is a possessor of Twin Martial Souls, one of her Martial Souls being the Ice Martial Soul Snow Lotus. If she were to absorb this hundred-thousand-year spirit beast embryo, I suspect it could possibly cause her Snow Lotus Martial Soul to evolve..."
As he spoke, Poison Not Dead's expression turned excited, "At that point, even if her Body Martial Soul is just at the Gold Rank Second Awakening, paired with the second evolution of the Snow Lotus Martial Soul, she would be not any weaker than possessors of a Gold Rank Second Awakening Self Martial Soul. By that time, our Body Sect would have two... no, counting you, we would have three disciples of the Gold Rank Second Awakening.
Our Body Sect will usher in a true golden era!"
Just contemplating this scenario brought a grin to Poison Not Dead's face so wide he couldn't close his mouth.
Qin Xiao: "..."
Is this guy thinking about farting?
When Poison Not Dead mentioned Twin Martial Souls and Snow Lotus, Qin Xiao knew the person Poison Not Dead was talking about must be Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire.
It had to be said, Twin Martial Souls coupled with Snow Lotus were indeed credentials worthy of a heaven's proud daughter like Vina.
But to think about absorbing the Snow Emperor, that was absolutely delusional.
A look of undisguised disdain appeared on Qin Xiao's face.
"What's with that look, kid? Who are you looking down on?" Poison Not Dead sharply picked up on Qin Xiao's disdain.
If Qin Xiao weren't so important, he really wanted to let Qin Xiao understand why the flowers are so red.
At this point, Qin Xiao felt he couldn't pretend anymore.
To obtain sufficient resources and attention, he needed to demonstrate his value.
"Heh, I just think it's pitiful that the genius you mentioned, who hasn't even risen yet, is about to be doomed by you."
After hearing Qin Xiao's words, Poison Not Dead unconsciously furrowed his brows, "Kid, stop talking in riddles here. Failing to get that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo and just cursing others; is that the extent of your generosity?"
There was also some displeasure in his voice.
Because he felt that Qin Xiao was too petty and too envious.
Such a nature was a big problem, and if not properly guided, he would find it difficult to achieve greatness in the future.
The more he thought about it, the more disappointed he became, and he sighed, "I thought I'd found a treasure, but I was happy for nothing. With high talent but insufficient character, one can hardly achieve greatness."
With that, he even reeled back the Divine Seal Altar.
Qin Xiao stood up, looking unusually serious.
"I'm not jealous, nor am I making alarmist remarks. That Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo, except for those with the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, whoever touches it dies. Even the genius you mentioned, with Twin Martial Souls, will not change the outcome."
"What? Ultimate Ice?" Poison Not Dead's pupils dilated sharply, "Clarify what you're saying."
He even reached out to grab Qin Xiao's shoulder.
Qin Xiao frowned and said, "Was I not clear enough? Except for the Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, whoever touches the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast Embryo dies."
Having said that, he did not say more.
He believed Poison Not Dead should know how to weigh his options now.
Upon hearing this, Poison Not Dead felt like he'd been struck by lightning, sweating cold sweat involuntarily.
If it were really as Qin Xiao said, he almost killed a prodigy of the Body Sect.
"However, come to think of it, how do you know so much, kid?"
In Poison Not Dead's view, Qin Xiao's Cultivation Level and horizons fell far short of his own; if he didn't spot the problem, how could Qin Xiao have discovered it?
Qin Xiao was silent for a moment before he solemnly replied, "Because... apart from my Body Spirit Lustrous Eyes Martial Spirit, I also possess another Ultimate Ice Martial Soul, the Icy Jade Emperor Scorpion!"
What?
This kid has another Martial Soul?
And it's an Ultimate Spirit?
Three waves of doubts immediately flooded Poison Not Dead's mind.
And the information in Qin Xiao's words was enormous, even for a top-tier powerhouse on the continent like Poison Not Dead, who felt his mind buzzing, struggling to accept it.
A Golden Level Second Awakening Body Martial Soul, an extremely rare Ultimate Ice Martial Soul—both appearing in one person... What a monstrous talent is this?
