Teng Zhe's eyes narrowed, without a word, he pointed his index finger towards Bai Ming and a 10-centimeter-long green snake coiled around his finger.
The green snake stuck out its tongue as its black eyes viciously stared at Bai Ming.
Teng Zhe coldly snorted as he threw the snake toward Bai Ming, The moment the green snake landed on the ground, it curled up before jumping toward Bai Ming with its mouth open.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom As Bai Ming backed up, the flying sword in his hand disappeared. The sword smoothly cut the snake in half and moved like lightning to stab at Teng Zhe's brow.
However, rings of white light came out from Teng Zhe, preventing the flying sword from getting any closer. Bai Ming waved his right hand to call back the flying sword before quickly backing away.
Teng Zhe looked at the severed python laying on the ground and snapped his fingers.
From the snake's corpse, a terrifying shock wave spread, causing the dirt on the surface to kick up.
If one were look from above ground, they would see a small circle expand as the earth was kicked up. It was as if there was an flood dragon moving on the ground and wreaking havoc.
Bai Ming was hit by the shock wave and instantly coughed out mouthfuls of blood, He suddenly felt very dizzy, but he forced himself to remain standing.
Looking at Bai Ming's miserable state, Teng zhe's anger lessened as he thought to himself, 'He has also refined his body, if that wasn't the case his injury would have been much worse from the shock wave. But it shouldn't be a body cultivation manual that grants him such a solid physique, most body cultivation manuals only strengthen the body's raw power and a rare few make the body's natural defense stronger. Even most of the extremity grade manuals don't have such capabilities. There's no way he would have a higher grade body cultivation manual than a extremity tier right, he must have had some lucky encounter in the past to obtain such a terrifying physique. This kid just keeps on pulling out surprises for me. The more of a freak he is, the greater my chances of obtaining that treasure.' Thinking about this, his body disappeared from the spot.
Generally speaking, body manuals when compared to inner essence cultivation manuals where highly rare and sought after. To be more precise, body manuals starting from superior grade and above were terrifyingly hard to come by even in the mainlands, even most of the first grade sects would only posses one or two extremity grade body cultivation manuals. But as for spiritual cultivation manuals, they would have atleast a dozen extremity grade manuals.
Even a super force like the Red lotus sect didn't own a body cultivation manual that could refine one's body to such a degree, where would this spirit realm brat have one from - this was Teng Zhe's line of thought.
Bai Ming felt pain coursing though his entire body as he quickly took out some more pills to heal his wounds. Suddenly, he sensed fluctuations of spiritual energy before him, Without any hesitation, he turned around and began to fly the other way.
At this moment, Teng Zhe walked out from where the spiritual energy fluctuation was.
"Little friend, this old man doesn't want to hurt you. How about you listen to me first?"
As the Teng Zhe said this, he waved his hand and golden lightning came from all directions. Soon, there was cage of golden lightning trapping Bai Ming.
Bai Ming looked exhausted, but there was an eerie light concealed deep inside his gaze. He stopped moving, turned to the supreme mortal realm expert and coldly asked, "What does lord want?"
"I am sure your already aware of what i want and i assume that your not really against it." Saying this Teng Zhe stared at Bai Ming.
Hearing this Bai Ming was silent, seeing this Teng Zhe snorted in displeasure and said, "I want to borrow your strength."
Bai Ming pondered as he looked at the surrounding lightning cage. The sounds of crackling from the lightning came in from all around him.
"I want to know why."
Teng Zhe pondered for a bit before shaking his head. "It is not yet time to talk about this matter, but don't worry; i won't ask you complete a task for nothing. If you come with me to the Red lotus sect and become my personal disciple, you'll enjoy all the benifits that a core disciple gets and i will also gift you hefty amount of sect points. If your unaware these sect points are something even core disciples greedily fight over."
Bai Ming's expression remained calm, but he was very tempted. Bai Ming knew what sect points represented, every sect has its own form of currency. Like any other sect, the red lotus sect's common currency was also sect points instead of spirit stones, with these sect points one could get access to all kinds of martial skills or secret skills, rare treasures and materials, divine pills, special training grounds or cultivation rooms and sometimes even get forbidden knowledge.
Bai Ming pondered for a bit before raising his head to look at Teng Zhe, but he didn't say a word. From the very beginning when he first rejected Lu Yuanjie, Bai Ming always had one doubt in his heart.
With Teng Zhe's cultivation base, he could easily take Bai Ming's spirit blood to threaten him, or even just refine Bai Ming into a puppet that would listen to his every command, but he had not done it.
Bai Ming wasn't fully aware of the reason, but he knew this much; Teng Zhe not using such certified and assured methods wasn't because he was a kind hearted person who was against the idea of slavery, it was mostly because he couldn't or maybe there was a problem he would face when using them, which would then hinder his progress of achieving his objective.
This belief was further solidified when Teng Zhe talked with Bai Ming in a bargaining tone, When there didn't really seem any need for it.
Bai Ming had myriad number of thoughts on his mind, However, he didn't reveal anything abnormal on the surface. He put on pondering look for a bit before staring back at the Teng Zhe and shaking his head, "Not enough."
Teng Zhe calmly said, "You're looking for death." He closed his right hand and the lightning cage that was surrounding Bai Ming began to shrink.
Bai Ming coldly stared at Teng Zhe, revealing a mocking smile.
The golden lightning cage got closer and closer until it was almost touching him. The edges of his hair and clothes touched the cage and turned to dust.
As the cage was about to come into contact with Bai Ming, the Teng Zhe stopped and looked at Bai Ming. "Your mental strength is commendable, but you don't know your place. Do you really think that I won't kill you?"
The mocking expression on Bai Ming's face intensified as he spoke in a tone filled arrogance, "How refreshing, go ahead and kill me if you can, you fucking cunt."
Teng Zhe stared daggers at Bai Ming as anger flooded his veins. He secretly cursed Bai Ming, If it wasn't for the fact that other inner elders might just come forward and help Bai Ming to come out from his control and even frame Teng Zhe for using vicious methods to control his own disciple, and if he were to refine Bai Ming into a puppet, Bai Ming would need to be constantly given instructions, this method was not feasible for Teng Zhe. Otherwise he would have already placed an seal or something on Bai Ming's soul and avoided all this trouble.
Teng Zhe's face turned dark, he continued to stare at Bai Ming as the coldness in his eyes deepened by another layer. The lighting cage once again inched closer touching Bai Ming's skin and bit by bit began cutting it's way in. Bai Ming was still smiling, Indifferent to the pain and danger this violent lighting brought with it.
Teng Zhe saw Bai Ming's stance and could only bitterly sigh in his heart, he relaxed a bit as he waved his hand and the lightning cage loosened.
Bai Ming didn't even blink nor look at the lightning cage. He only gazed at the supreme figure in front of him.
Teng Zhe firmly said, "What do you want? Just speak your mind."
"I want to know how dangerous the task is that i have to perform," Bai Ming said, with a calm but firm voice.
Teng Zhe laughed lightly. "I won't lie to you about how dangerous the task or that place is. Initial spirit realm cultivators have a 99% chance of dying in there. As for peak stage spirit realm cultivators, with luck, they can survive. Only individuals with Yin-Yang void realm strength can safely move around there, but if they aren't careful, they will still die. But more importantly only individuals cultivation base below Yin-Yang void realm can enter that place."
"However, although that place is dangerous, the harvest is also great. Magic treasures, pills, cultivation methods… it can be said that anything you want is there. There is also the rumoured supreme transcendence pill. With just one pill, there is a chance for you to become a Supreme mortal realm cultivator."
"As for the dangers, you don't have to worry too much. Your strength is nothing to scoff at and once you enter the sect, you'll only get stronger. At the least until you reach the core area, you won't encounter life threating dangers. After that, as long as you aren't too greedy and wait, then once the time has passed, you will naturally be teleported outside."
Bai Ming patiently heard this and began to ponder. After hearing Teng Zhe's words, he only believed 30% of it.
But even so, Bai Ming was a bit tempted by the mysterious place the Teng Zhe was talking about. He didn't really think about obtaining the Supreme Transcendence pill, because Bai Ming believed this to be made up by Teng Zhe to create greed inside him. Bai Ming actually hoped to find some rare pills, magical treasures or lost cultivation techniques or knowledge. As for Teng Zhe, he only desired Bai Ming to bring back a certain herb for him, since he himself couldn't enter that place.
And if Bai Ming continued to reject the deal, Teng Zhe might just kill him in a fit of anger. There was only one path before him right now.
Bai Ming nodded and calmly said, "Okay, I agree.."
Teng Zhe smiled lightly, before he suddenly frowned hearing Bai Ming continue speaking.
"But i have two conditions." Bai Ming stared at the Teng Zhe and didn't say a word. The two of them just looked at each other for a while.
Teng Zhe withdrew his gaze and lazily asked Bai Ming, "What is it now?"
Bai Ming spoke leisurely, "First of all, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to accomplish your task. I can only do my best, but If i am sure that I don't even have 5% chance to get it or my life is in extreme danger I will just give up on it."
Teng Zhe's gaze flickered, but his expression was calm and composed, he nodded slightly. Even without Bai Ming telling him, he had already expected this. Because it was only natural, for what reason would Teng Zhe believe that Bai Ming would just go and die for him.
Seeing Teng Zhe's approving nod, Bai Ming smiled slightly and spoke politely, "My second condition is that, I want atleast four well maintained Yin-Yang void expert's corpses. Of course excluding Yan Shi's, which would make it five."
