"Kill!"
Qin Shi said bluntly.
Qin Shi's answer stunned Zi Lingsha, but she only paused for a second. Then she smiled charmingly, shook her head, and said, "Hehe, that won't do. The poison of I, Zi Lingsha, is not something that anyone can ask for."
Qin Shi was not surprised to hear this. He had expected all the possibilities before he came. He said to Zi Lingsha straightforwardly, "Tell me, what's your condition?"
"Hehe, you're smart!"
Qin Shi's words made Zi Lingsha's beautiful eyes flicker with purple light, but she recovered quickly and smiled, "I like straightforward people like you. It's not impossible for you to get the Ecstasy Powder. As long as you promise me three things, I will give it to you."
"Three things?"
Qin Shi frowned. Zi Lingsha's appetite was too big, wasn't it?
But since he was asking for help, he had to agree no matter how unwilling he was. He asked, "What are the three things?"
"Hehe, first, help me find the Snow Rhododendron."
"The Snow Rhododendron?" Qin Shi was dazed. He knew nothing about spiritual herbs.
But Jade In The Book, who was burning the book, clicked her tongue and exclaimed, "The Ninth, Snow Rhododendron?"
Hearing her voice, Qin Shi's pupils shrank, and he shouted, "The, the Ninth, the Snow Rhododendron?
Holy crap, are you kidding me? "
The Ninth Level Spiritual Herb was the supreme existence.
Although it was said that there were Immortal Grade Spiritual Herbs above the Ninth Level, it was just a rumor after all. Normally, the Ninth Level Spiritual Herb was already the king of spiritual herbs, which was rare even on the Barren Continent. There might not even be one in the entire Red Flame Empire.
It was said that the Ninth Level Spiritual Herb could even take the shape of a human, and it did not have a high cultivation. Asking Qin Shi to find such an illusory thing, wasn't it a joke?
"Are you kidding me?"
Gritting his teeth, Qin Shi said with a flushed face.
Zi Lingsha was not surprised by Qin Shi's performance. "Haha, the artifact spirit in your body is really knowledgeable. Not only does it know the Soul-Reading Skill, it even knows about the Snow Rhododendron?"
Suddenly, Qin Shi frowned vigilantly. "What do you mean?"
"Haha, don't be nervous. I also know that with your current strength, finding the Snowshatter Azalea is simply a pipe dream. Even if you promise me, I won't believe it."
Zi Lingsha didn't waste time talking with Qin Shi on the Jade In The Book. She waved her purple sleeve and a purple powder appeared in her hand. She said, "This is the Ecstasy Powder. I'll give you three years. As long as you promise me, it's yours!"
"Three years?"
Qin Shi furrowed his brows but he was not in a hurry to take the Ecstasy Powder.
Deep down, he knew that even if he had three years, it would be difficult for him to find a Ninth Realm Spiritual Herb. After all, it was already at the peak of the Ascendant stage.
However, without the Ecstasy Powder, Qin Shi's plan would be completely disrupted. If that was the case, he wouldn't have the slightest bit of confidence in his trip to the Burning Sky Sect.
Because of this, after biting his lower lip, he took the Ecstasy Powder and said, "Three years, I promise you!"
"Haha, I knew you would agree!" Zi Lingsha smiled charmingly.
Qin Shi, on the other hand, grimaced in pain. This small bottle of Ecstasy Powder had really tricked him. Not only was it a Ninth Realm Snowshatter Azalea, but most importantly, there were two conditions.
Thinking of this, Qin Shi asked, "What are the other two conditions?"
"Hmm …" Zi Lingsha held her cheek and pondered for a moment. She raised her head and said, "I'll tell you when I think of them!"
Suddenly, Qin Shi had the urge to curse, "You haven't thought of what you want me to do?"
"Anyway, I tricked you once, I tricked you twice. Why can't I trick you a little more?"
"You win!"
Hearing Zi Lingsha's words, Qin Shi was enraged. However, Zi Lingsha still maintained her cold and arrogant demeanor. The faint smile on her face was especially charming.
However, Qin Shi knew that under this charming smile, there was a terrifying darkness. Thinking of this, he hurriedly brushed off the ice shards on his body and prepared to leave the Cold Pool Cave.
"You're leaving just like that?" Zi Lingsha stopped Qin Shi.
"What else?
Waiting for you to continue tricking me? "Qin Shi snorted angrily.
Zi Lingsha didn't care about this, "Up to you. When the time comes, if I die from the Ecstasy Powder, I'll go to the Qin Sect and the Qin family to collect the Snowshatter Azalea."
"…"
After a moment of realization, Qin Shi immediately realized that he had only taken the Ecstasy Powder but not the antidote. Wouldn't he be poisoned to death when the time comes?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly turned around and went to Zi Lingsha's side.
Looking at Qin Shi's expression, Zi Lingsha revealed a rare sweet smile under her perpetually icy face. Immediately, she cut a small wound on her arm and drew out her blood to pass to Qin Shi.
After handing her blood to Qin Shi, she pondered for a moment before taking out a gorgeous brocade pouch and said, "Keep this brocade pouch with you. If you open it at a critical moment, it might be able to save your life!"
Looking at the brocade pouch, Qin Shi was a little surprised, but he didn't stand on ceremony. After receiving it, he jokingly said, "Yo, yo, yo, Lady Poison is actually worried about me?"
"I'm afraid that if you die, no one will help me find the Snowshatter Azalea!" Zi Lingsha expressionlessly rolled her eyes.
Hearing this, Qin Shi felt a little heartache, but he didn't dwell on it. Since the purpose of this trip had been achieved, there was no need to stay any longer, so he turned around and was about to leave.
But before leaving, he was silent for a while, then turned around and said to Zi Lingsha, "Do you trust me that much?
Aren't you afraid that I won't come back after I leave?
At that time, the Snowshatter Azalea and the two conditions will all be in vain! "
"Hehe, you won't!"
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course, have you forgotten?
I've said that you and I are the same kind of person, so you will definitely come back for me! "Zi Lingsha smiled very calmly, but her voice was full of confidence.
Hearing that, Qin Shi shook his head. Shortly after, he did not ask any more questions because he would indeed come back. However, it was not because of what Ziling Sha had said, but because he was a person who would do what he said.
When it came to promises, he would absolutely not break them.
Walking out of the Cold Pool Cave, the thousand-foot-tall silver curtain rolled up the waves, reflecting a gorgeous light in his contemplation.
The light reflected on his face, and he took a deep breath. Everything was ready, and now was the time to go to Burning Sky Sect.
"Bai Yutang, prepare to die."
In the next second, he wrapped his black robe tightly and followed the silver curtain up the thousand-foot-tall waterfall. Under the waterfall, there was a staircase on the cliff wall that had been battered by the waves for a long time. With the help of the staircase, he jumped to the top of the cliff.
The black figure flashed and disappeared. Zi Lingsha dragged her purple skirt and walked out of the Cold Pool Cave. Looking at the faintly discernible black figure in the sky, her beautiful eyes were a little sad, "There are only three years left, I wonder if I can make the right bet this time …"
In the waves of the silver curtain, Qin Shi's speed was extremely fast.
This thousand-foot-tall gorge was not difficult for Qin Shi. He used less than the time to drink a cup of tea to pass through the silver curtain, leaped out of the waves with one step, and landed steadily on the side of the gorge.
Immediately, he saw a beautiful figure with long golden brown hair not far ahead. The beautiful figure's lily-white hands were tightly clenched, and her face was filled with worry and melancholy as she looked down the gorge.
Seeing Shi Lan who was reminiscing and worried, Qin Shi's heart was inexplicably touched. Life was always short, how many people could stand behind and silently watch over you, and silently worry about you?
Having one was already very blissful.
"Shi Lan!" With a heavy heart, he shouted. Qin Shi shouted Shi Lan's name.
The beautiful figure whose back was facing Qin Shi trembled. Immediately, she turned her head with red eyes, and when she saw Qin Shi, she immediately threw herself into his arms, "Sucker, are you alright?"
"Hehe, I'm fine!"
Qin Shi hugged her with one hand, and his other hand ran through her golden brown hair, gently untangling it.
However, when her hair was untangled, Shi Lan's brows were tightly furrowed. She pushed Qin Shi away, and angrily said, "You said that you wouldn't abandon me, so why didn't you bring me along?
Why did you make me wait for you here? "
These few words of rebuke caused Qin Shi to be startled. After a pause, his gaze became much gentler, and he said, "Fool, it's enough for me to protect you. You only need to stand behind me."
Hearing these words, her originally excited expression collapsed, and her resolute heart was immediately broken. Shi Lan's beautiful eyes blinked, but she didn't say a word.
Qin Shi didn't wait for her to speak. After taking a deep breath, he looked in the direction of the Burning Sky Sect.
What should come was finally coming. Although he had long since expected that one day, he would directly confront the Burning Sky Sect, when this day truly came, his heart still felt somewhat heavy.
This time, going to the Burning Sky Sect was really very risky. With his current strength, he still wasn't enough to shake that overlord existence. Moreover, this time, he really shed all pretense of cordiality. He didn't dare to guarantee that the Burning Sky Sect wouldn't let him go just because of the demons.
No matter what, Bai Yutang had to die, and he had to rescue Qiao'er.
Qin Shi clenched his fists, and shook off the wavering and hesitation in his heart. Instead, it was replaced by an abnormally firm determination.
In the next second, two figures, under the scorching sun's light, escaped into the distance.
Burning Sky Sect.
This giant of the northern region was located at the critical point of the northern region. It was located on the central peak of the Burning Sky Mountain Range, and was thousands of miles away from the ancient city.
At this distance, even if Qin Shi went all out, he would need at least half a month to reach this distance.
For this reason, along the way, he caught two goshawks, refined the goshawks into Devil Talismans, and gave them to Shi Lan. Under the activation of the Devil Talismans, the two's speed became extremely fast. Under the condition that the Devil Talismans were unbroken, three days was enough to reach the Burning Sky Mountain Range.
Three days passed. Night.
Qin Shi and Shi Lan arrived at the foot of the Burning Sky Mountain Range.
The wings behind the two's back gradually dispersed. Qin Shi raised his head and looked at the peak that towered into the clouds. A blazing, torrential fire burned in his heart.
"Hehe, we're finally here?"
Taking a deep breath, his black robe seemed somewhat awe-inspiring under the moonlight. A cold smile appeared on his face. Like an ice-cold sharp sword, it tore through the clouds in the distant Ninth Heaven and penetrated into them.
"This time, I should see a lot of familiar faces …"
