Chapter 82: The Strengthening of the Soul and Hearing the Game’s Voice Again
"You’re a prince?"
Qi Yuan was a bit stunned.
This guy really has a protagonist's template.
Not only does he have a remnant soul within him, but he’s also a prince with a fiancée who has broken off their engagement.
"In the Dragon Seizing Struggle, the sect master promised that I could select two foundation establishment cultivators from the sect to assist me.
The first one I chose was Senior Brother Kang Fulu.
For the second, I want to ask for your help, Senior Brother Qi Yuan, to participate in the Dragon Seizing Struggle.
If Senior Brother Qi Yuan helps me, I will definitely give a great reward.
Regardless of success, I will give you three Jade-level techniques and three foundation establishment treasures.
If we succeed, I will open the royal treasury and let you choose anything you want."
Dong Xian said sincerely.
This was the most valuable thing he could offer at the moment. It was everything he had.
After hearing this, Qi Yuan lost interest: "The Dragon Seizing Struggle requires going to the capital of the Great Shang Kingdom. It’s too far. I don’t want to go. I just like staying at home."
When he went to destroy Black Mountain Sect, Qi Yuan returned home overnight.
He didn’t like running around outside, especially not staying overnight.
Dong Xian was stunned by this reason for refusal. It seemed too unreliable.
"If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to cultivating." Qi Yuan thought it was best not to get too close to someone with a protagonist's template.
If he became the protagonist's helper, one day he might be killed by the plot, igniting the protagonist’s inner potential.
He was all too familiar with such plots.
"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, I am willing to offer even better conditions. If you are not satisfied, we can discuss it further." Dong Xian hurriedly said.
"It’s too far, I don’t want to go." Qi Yuan decisively refused and returned to his house to continue cultivating.
Outside the wooden house, Dong Xian's face was filled with disappointment.
"Qi Lao, are my conditions not enough?" Dong Xian was very discouraged.
"It might not be about your conditions. What Qi Yuan said might be true. He really doesn’t want to travel far." Qi Lao said helplessly, "Some prodigies have peculiar habits. Especially those who focus solely on cultivation."
"Sigh." Dong Xian clenched his fists, feeling very unwilling.
This time, he was preparing to participate in the Dragon Seizing Struggle. He had informed his mother about it.
His mother, born in a small family, had only one foundation establishment cultivator in the family—his uncle.
Without hesitation, his uncle gave him the only two foundation establishment treasures he had.
His mother also gave him many spiritual medicines and treasures awarded by the emperor.
Therefore, he managed to persuade Kang Fulu.
Now, if he couldn’t convince Qi Yuan, his chances in the Dragon Seizing Struggle were slim.
He didn’t want to disappoint his mother and uncle.
Standing outside the wooden house, he waited quietly, like a student waiting in the snow.
Suddenly, Dong Xian's communication jade slip vibrated.
It was a message from Senior Brother Kang Fulu.
He glanced at the content and was stunned.
"Qi Lao, do you know what Senior Brother Kang Fulu just told me?"
"What?"
"Senior Brother Kang Fulu said a secret realm appeared in Rong City, and the location of the Dragon Seizing Struggle has been changed to Rong City."
"What?!!"
Rong City was very close to Seven-Color Peak. Even a Qi Refining cultivator could get there in an hour or two.
Just now, Senior Brother Qi Yuan said it was too far to go.
Now, the location of the Dragon Seizing Struggle had changed to Rong City.
Is this destiny helping me? Dong Xian thought, extremely excited.
"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, Dong Xian requests to see you!" Dong Xian shouted joyfully towards the wooden house.
Qi Yuan came out of the house: "You’re still here?"
"Senior Brother Qi Yuan, the location of the Dragon Seizing Struggle has been changed to Rong City!" Dong Xian said excitedly.
Qi Yuan was stunned: "In Rong City?"
That was very close.
Why did it suddenly change to Rong City?
"It's absolutely true. Senior Brother Kang Fulu told me." Dong Xian said, his breath visible in the cold air. "Now, may I invite Senior Brother Qi Yuan to assist me in the Dragon Seizing Struggle?"
Qi Yuan stood there, feeling a bit amazed.
Is this the protagonist's template?
Even the heavens are helping him solve problems.
He thought, if he still didn’t know what was good for him, even the heavens might deal with him.
Since the heavens were helping Dong Xian, couldn’t he ask for an exorbitant price?
Qi Yuan hesitated and slowly said, "I can help you, but I have a few conditions."
