Chapter 3057: Chapter 3077: Sky-Full of Bidding, Paying Upon Landing
Lin Chen’s eyes widened in shock.
"You’ve got some nerve!"
"So, do you plan to bring back that magic ball and absorb the comprehension of the Saint’s Path within it, striving for a breakthrough to become a Saint?"
Since he’d already spoken about the reason, the palace lord no longer hid anything, "I have such a thought, but whether it will be useful, and to what extent, I do not know. However, now that I know about this thing, I want to give it a try."
Lin Chen asked worriedly, "This item must be extremely important to the Demon God Temple, right? Let’s not talk about whether I can succeed; if I really do, won’t the Demon Emperor or the Little Demon Emperor come looking for trouble?"
The palace lord replied, "The problem is not big, my master is still around. Currently, he’s fiercely combating the Immortal Realm; they are even less likely to pressure my Great Wilderness Palace. If pushed too much, it’s uncertain whether my master won’t join forces with the Immortal Emperor."
You guys might as well join forces!
What’s the point of only making threats?
Lin Chen muttered to himself but outwardly said with a laugh, "Having a Saint covering for you sure is impressive, I’m envious."
Listening to Lin Chen’s words, the palace lord couldn’t help but curl his lip. Listen to that tone—does that sound like something a subordinate would say?
The palace lord was very clear in his heart that Lin Chen might not necessarily have to ally with the Great Wilderness Palace. He possessed a magical treasure that could accommodate more than a thousand people and could completely live as a bandit in the Demon World. As long as he wasn’t too excessive, his life would probably be quite comfortable.
His allegiance to the Great Wilderness Palace was simply to use the name of the Great Wilderness Saint to avoid being casually erased by the Demon Emperor or the Little Demon Emperor.
For a Quasi-Saint to capture this group of people might also not be simple, but if a Saint set their sights on them, unless they hid forever in a certain place, never revealing themselves, it would be very easy for them to be discovered by a Saint and directly killed.
"Now, do you understand the situation?"
Lin Chen nodded, "I understand. I never expected that the palace lord would entrust such an important task to someone who is a new arrival from the Immortal Realm. I’m a bit overwhelmed by the honor."
The palace lord said gravely, "Demons shall not enter, as for the Human Clan among the Desert People, they have their own thoughts..."
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Like Mei Mingzhi, for instance. If he got it, he might just absorb it himself, try to break through the Heavenly Dao on his own and become a Saint, rather than bringing it back to you. Is that what you mean?"
The palace lord’s sharp gaze fell on Lin Chen, "You are a smart one."
Lin Chen sighed, "That’s why you gave this task to me, a foreigner. Firstly, although we’re both Human Clan, our interests may not completely align. Even though they are Human Clan, they also have a rift with the Immortal Realm. Secondly, I am not a Quasi-Saint, and the comprehension of the Saint’s Path may not be of use to me."
The palace lord was silent for a few seconds, but ultimately he candidly admitted, "Yes, do you have any dissatisfaction?"
"Dissatisfaction? Not really, after all, you mentioned for me to do my best without requiring me to complete the task at the cost of my life."
Lin Chen replied straightforwardly, and then he immediately began bargaining, "Just that the difficulty of completing this task is indeed very high. If by chance I succeed, could you give me about ten slots in the Thunder Secret Realm?"
"Ten slots?" ƒгeewebnovёl_com
The palace lord’s tone suddenly rose a bit, "Do you think the slots for the Thunder Secret Realm are as plentiful as Chinese cabbage, available however many you want?"
Lin Chen wore an innocent face, "Then how many can you give?"
The palace lord suddenly stalled; darn, he’d been climbed along the pole by this guy.
He’d been haggling sky-high prices, and he intended just to respond with a comment, yet it was seamlessly picked up by him.
She could certainly refuse, after all, she was the Palace lord, and if she refused, Lin Chen wouldn’t dare to do anything. But likewise, Lin Chen could just go wander somewhere else, come back and tell her, "It’s too dangerous, I tried my best, but I am powerless, find someone else to go."
Without enough interests, how could you get someone to risk their life for you?
The Palace lord pondered for a moment, "If you successfully bring back the Magic Ball, I’ll give you a spot!"
Lin Chen bargained without hesitation, "Me going alone definitely won’t work, I have to bring people to risk their lives too. If it’s just one spot, wouldn’t that mean others risk their lives while I reap the rewards? That’s not quite fair. How about a few more, like five, how about that?"
Before the Palace lord could refuse again, Lin Chen quickly pointed out difficulties, "Look, Palace lord, this is a very difficult task. If it really gets done, you will have the opportunity to comprehend the Saint’s Path, which could even propel you to become a Saint in one step. Compared to becoming a Saint, what are a few spots in the Thunder Secret Realm?"
"You’ve opened the Thunder Secret Realm for such a long time, yet no Saint has emerged, right, Palace lord?"
The Palace lord was cornered by Lin Chen’s words and frowned with a cold hum, "I want to attain the Magic Ball merely to absorb and take reference from it. Becoming a Saint is not that easy, is it?"
"The jade of other mountains can be used to carve my own."
Lin Chen continued to persuade, "What if it does succeed? Who can say for sure? This is the Demon Emperor’s item; it’s not easy to get your hands on it. Its value isn’t just a little bit!"
"Three!"
The Palace lord, wrapping up with Lin Chen, found herself without a solution for the moment since the task still had to be done by Lin Chen.
"If you bring back the Magic Ball, I’ll give you three spots, no more. If you still think that’s too low, then I’ll send someone else. Although the Human Clan within the Desert People stick together, that doesn’t mean every Human Clan member thinks of themselves first. Similarly, there are many loyal to our Great Wilderness Palace..."
Lin Chen agreed promptly, "Alright, three spots, it’s a deal! You can count on me, Palace lord. I will give it my all!"
Once Lin Chen understood the origin and function of the Magic Ball, he had already started planning.
You think I’m not a Quasi-Saint and that having it is useless to me, but you don’t know that I have a Quasi-Saint by my side, do you?
This thing sounds quite magical; I have to give it a try, right?
If it doesn’t work out, then so be it. As long as I’m cautious enough, I won’t suffer any loss. If I’m lucky and it does work, I will certainly try to get some benefits from that Magic Ball. Anyway, who knows how much good stuff is left inside the Magic Ball?
After getting the benefits or not, I could then take the Magic Ball back in exchange for three spots in the Thunder Secret Realm. Wouldn’t that be another profit?
According to what Par with Heaven said about the Thunder Secret Realm, the Human Clan that enters it always gains great benefits. If my strength increases again, there shouldn’t be any major issues, right?
The Palace lord saw Lin Chen agree so readily and couldn’t help but grind her teeth.
This guy has such a doglike face, changing so quickly!
The Palace lord said gravely, "Recently, the entire Demon God Temple has mobilized, and the Demon Emperor and Little Demon Emperor are likely focused on the Immortal Realm side. The defenses of the Demon Saint Valley should not be so strict; this is your opportunity."
"As for how you’ll break through the guard of the Demon Saint Valley, you’ll have to adapt to the situation."
Lin Chen nodded, "I’ll bring some people along."
The Palace lord said gravely, "You arrange it yourself; I’m hands-off with this matter."
Lin Chen asked, "If I take people away from the Great Wilderness Palace, Dawn Camp won’t be deployed to join the fight, right?"
The Palace lord clenched her teeth and said irritably, "Don’t worry, I won’t send them to their deaths! We’ll discuss that when you return, alright?"
