Chapter 96 - 86 Vermilion Tears

Chapter 96: Chapter 86 Vermilion Tears Liu Suiyun allowed Guo Huijun to lead him out. Although this was just a cold silver glove, Liu Suiyun always felt a hint of tenderness coming from the silver glove. "Okay! Let's go out. Perhaps we can see Zhaori for the last time!"

"Thank you!" Apart from taking off her helmet, Guo Huijun's entire body was wrapped in silver spiritual armor. Only Liu Suiyun knew what a wonderful jade body was inside. "Thank you! I hope I can still see him for the last time."

An Zhiyu and Xia Jingjue had already been waiting outside. As soon as they saw Guo Huijun leading Liu Suiyun out, Xia Jingjue greeted with a smile, "Commander!"

"Where's Lao Xu?" While putting his arm around Guo Huijun's waist, Liu Suiyun asked, "Where is Lao Xu?"

"Master Xu is gone!" Xia Jingjue said. "He has left! Commander, Miss Guo, Master Xu left in peace. He put everything down! Before he left, he also said that the commander must take good care of Miss Guo and not let Miss Guo suffer any grievances. Let Miss Guo and the commander live a good life. Yes, let Miss Guo and the commander live a good life."

What Xia Jingjue said was seven parts true and three parts false, which made both Liu Suiyun and Guo Huijun so moved that they were about to shed tears. "Lao Xu, I'm sorry for you!"

"Let the dead rest in peace. I want to take his ashes back!" Guo Huijun said. "Take me there!"

"Over there!" An Zhiyu interjected. "That's Fellow Daoist Xu's remains..."

Following An Zhiyu's finger, Guo Huijun didn't see Xu Zhaori's body but only smelled a faint fragrance. "Remains?"

"Yes!" Xia Jingjue replied. "This is all that Master Xu left behind. We still don't know what's going on..."

Guo Huijun finally saw clearly. There was only a fiery red gem. No, it wasn't fiery red. Instead, it was a crystal-clear deep red, like a drop of vermilion tear. Under the light, it shone with a six-rayed starlight. Gu Yinghua had never seen such a pure ruby before. She couldn't find even a single flaw. It was as if it were the emotion that Xu Zhaori once had for her.

The suppressed emotions finally erupted in this instant. She half-knelt on the ground, her hand trembling as she reached forward. Finally, she gently touched this ruby. Crystal-clear tears had already fallen into the six-rayed starlight. She sobbed and asked Liu Suiyun, "I want to keep this ruby with me all the time. Is that okay?"

"Um!" Liu Suiyun gently patted Guo Huijun's shoulder to let her vent all the emotions in her heart. "Let me put it on for you!"

Liu Suiyun casually took out a piece of ice-snow silk from his pocket, tied a knot on the ruby left by Xu Zhaori, and after tying it well, he put it on for Guo Huijun. Guo Huijun cooperatively loosened the connection between the spiritual armors. Finally, she said, "Thank you! Master Xia, Master An, tell me, what's the story with this ruby?"

"This is the first time I've seen such a situation too!" An Zhiyu answered on behalf of Xia Jingjue. "When Fellow Daoist Xu left, he put everything down and had no concerns. He even drank a lot of wine with us. He had only one thought, which was for Miss Guo and the commander to live a good life..."

What he said wasn't entirely true. In such a situation, how could Xu Zhaori let it go? It was probably Xia Jingjue who was the most painful at that time. What pain could be greater than that of a eunuch who had just heard a bed scene!

But there was also some truth in An Zhiyu's words. "Then Fellow Daoist Xu fell while half drunk and half awake. Unexpectedly, as soon as he fell, the stench on his body disappeared and was replaced by a faint fragrance. It smelled very good! Then I saw Fellow Daoist Xu's body suddenly disintegrate. Then a gust of wind blew, and the remaining ashes blew away with the wind. Nothing was left. There was only this ruby that came from nowhere on the ground. We were waiting for you to come out. Perhaps it's because Fellow Daoist Xu left in peace!"

"Thank you!" Unconsciously, Guo Huijun was already half leaning in Liu Suiyun's arms. "Everything is over. Let's go out. I failed in this treasure hunt!"

To be honest, perhaps the one who benefited the most from this treasure hunt was Guo Huijun, but in some ways, she was also a loser. "Let's go!"

"Let's go!" Now it was Liu Suiyun's turn to lead Guo Huijun by her iron glove and walk out. "Let's go! Lao Xia, Fellow Daoist An, let's go back!"

"Go back, go back!"

An Zhiyu was very carefree. "I didn't expect to encounter the great devil Beixi Zhenjun being resurrected this time. Fortunately, I am extremely powerful. At a critical moment, I gave the Beixi devil a fatal blow. In the end, everyone worked together and killed the great devil Beixi..."

This was far from the truth. But Liu Suiyun felt that he was sorry for An Zhiyu. This time, An Zhiyu didn't get anything and even lost two fellow disciples. There might even be some hidden injuries. "Fellow Daoist An, after all, we killed the great devil Beixi together. May I ask boldly, are you interested in Foundation Establishment Pills?"

"Foundation Establishment Pills? Foundation Establishment Pills?" An Zhiyu almost stumbled and fell like Beixi Zhenjun. "What? Foundation Establishment Pills? Impossible, right? I have a small fortune. I can still come up with eight or nine hundred spirit stones..."

But soon he raised the price. "Of course, if I borrow from my fellow disciples and grit my teeth, I can almost get one thousand two or three hundred spirit stones. That's all. I probably won't think about the Beixi devil anymore!"

As soon as he mentioned Beixi Zhenjun, An Zhiyu remembered. "By the way, what should we do with the bone hand of Beixi Zhenjun? After all, it's the remains of a quasi-Nascent Soul. But I don't dare to touch it. If this old devil takes possession of someone, it will be terrible! By the way, does Commander Xing really have Foundation Establishment Pills? Can I redeem it?"

His longevity was approaching. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so enthusiastic about treasure hunting. But the purpose of treasure hunting always lies in the two words of foundation establishment. Even if he pooled all his resources now, at most he could only afford half the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill. He could only take a desperate gamble before his time limit arrived.

He wasn't interested in all the powers after successfully establishing the foundation. He was only interested in the additional one hundred and twenty years of lifespan. As long as he could live one hundred and twenty more years, he would be willing to do anything!

Liu Suiyun also explained directly. "Let's talk about the Foundation Establishment Pills first. The reason why I came to Tianma Plain this time is that there are at least two Foundation Establishment Pills hidden in the Pang family on the horizon. And unfortunately, the last Foundation Establishment cultivator in their family was killed by me!"

At first, An Zhiyu was still hesitating about the strength of the Pang family on the horizon. But as soon as he heard that there was no Foundation Establishment cultivator sitting in the Pang family, he suddenly became imposing. "Good! Good! Good! As long as you give me one Foundation Establishment Pill, you can take everything else. I don't want anything!"

But Liu Suiyun smiled. "Now I've changed my mind. Brothers are all living people. They must surely yearn for a good life. Huijun and I also want to live a good life. Fellow Daoist An also wants to live a good life. We can't risk our lives just for past grudges and fight desperately meaninglessly anymore. Huijun and I have decided to change to an easier method!"

An Zhiyu sighed deeply. "Alas... If I had understood this principle earlier, I wouldn't have suffered for more than a hundred years. I wouldn't still be a virgin at ninety-nine years old. After finally celebrating my hundredth birthday, I still couldn't let go. I was afraid that people would laugh at me for an old man marrying a young girl. Clearly, I could marry a bunch of eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls as concubines. But I just comforted myself that in the dark, an ugly woman and a beauty are the same. I spent fifty copper coins to find a secret prostitute and made do with it once. Now looking back, it was simply a nightmare..."

Xia Jingjue on the side was anxious for An Zhiyu. "Senior An, Senior An, why do you torture yourself like this? I'm powerless, but why do you mislead yourself!"

"It's not too late to understand now!" An Zhiyu was a sensible person. "Fellow Daoist Xing, tell me, how can I get a Foundation Establishment Pill? As long as there's a way, I, An Zhiyu, am at your service!" seaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"No hurry!" Liu Suiyun already had a general strategy but didn't want to reveal too much. "After we go out, let's go to Jiazhou Market and find a person named Wang Qinian."

"Wang Qinian?" An Zhiyu was very familiar with Wang Qinian. "What else is this guy useful for besides pasting some notices and slogans in the deep mountains and wilds?"

"I have my uses!" Liu Suiyun was looking at this bone hand of Beixi Zhenjun. "Huijun, do you have a way to get this bone?"

Although Beixi Zhenjun was only left with a bone hand, he had the strength of a quasi-Nascent Soul realm in his lifetime. If estimated by strength, he was even stronger than an ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator. Therefore, this remaining bone hand can also be said to be a real treasure. If operated well, it might be exchanged for several hundred spirit stones.

But everyone had also witnessed how Beixi Zhenjun took possession of Xu Zhaori. They were still apprehensive about this bone hand and could only place their hopes on Guo Huijun, who was the strongest.

Guo Huijun was full of confidence. Counting up, she was both a loser and had the greatest harvest in this tomb exploration. Not only did she gain a man like Liu Suiyun, but she also obtained the Wuyue Spiritual Talisman, a treasure with the power of the three mountains and five peaks. The ruby condensed by Xu Zhaori, although she didn't know what powers it had, was also obtained by her. "I'll try. There should be no problem. I'm separated from this rotten bone by this pair of silver gloves..."

She added, "This pair of silver gloves is worth four hundred spirit stones in the market!"

Women always like to use price to replace value. But this pair of silver gloves with a price of four hundred spirit stones is indeed very effective. Guo Huijun carefully lifted this withered and yellow bone hand with a tinge of paleness with her silver gloves. But Beixi Zhenjun didn't react at all. "Great!"

An Zhiyu quickly contributed a jade box that he didn't know where he got. "Put it away. This is a good thing!"

Liu Suiyun said with a smile, "Yes, it's a good thing. Definitely a good thing! I estimate it can sell for at least several hundred spirit stones."

For Liu Suiyun who only had a dozen or so spirit stones on him, several hundred spirit stones was an astonishing fortune. But An Zhiyu said with a smile, "Only several hundred spirit stones? You're joking. Seriously joking. At least this number!"

He held up a finger and said, "This is Beixi Zhenjun. Even if it's used to make a big pot of soup, it's worth this number. One thousand spirit stones, one thousand spirit stones! If operated well, one thousand five hundred spirit stones should be no problem. Even two thousand spirit stones are possible!"

As An Zhiyu said this, a group of people discussed even more enthusiastically. Even Guo Huijun joined in the discussion.
