“I don’t know.” Gui Yuanzi was silent for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed, obviously also thinking about the question.
“But through some secret channels, I learned that this Qingqiu Demon Emperor, although the leader of the demon race, is quite reasonable, unlike the authoritarian and unreasonable gods.”
“After all, he has lived for tens of thousands of years, is knowledgeable, and has experienced many ups and downs. He tends to be more tolerant towards certain special people and things.”
“Young Master, your situation is very special. Your physical body was destroyed, but you were able to survive with a fragment of your soul. You also possess the extraordinary techniques of the Great Luo Golden Scripture. Perhaps the Qingqiu Demon Emperor will be interested in your special circumstances and thus make an exception to allow us to enter the Primordial Spirit Forest.”
He paused, then added, “I have prepared gifts, all of them spiritual fruits and herbs that the demon race likes. Although they are not extraordinary treasures, they are at least a sign of my sincerity.”
“Tomorrow morning, we will leave for the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge to meet the Qingqiu Demon Emperor personally. No matter what, we must find a way to obtain the Immortal Spirit Wood.”
“A gift?” David’s voice sounded hesitant; he did not expect Gui Yuanzi to have considered everything so thoroughly.
Gui Yuanzi smiled, the tiredness on his face eased a little, and his tone contained a hint of confidence.
“Yes, young master. The demon race has always liked spiritual fruits and herbs, especially old ones, which are highly sought after by demon cultivators.”
“I chose some ten thousand year old Ganoderma lucidum and some Heavenly Fragrant Spirit Fruit from the Guiyuan Sect’s warehouse. Ten thousand year old Ganoderma lucidum is a rare spiritual ingredient that is hard to obtain in a thousand years. It contains rich spiritual energy that can nourish the body and improve cultivation.”
“Heavenly Fragrance Fruit is one of the spiritual fruits most loved by the demon race. The flesh of the fruit is sweet and contains pure primordial power, which can not only nourish the soul but also increase the purity of the demon race’s bloodline.”
“These gifts may not be valuable, but they at least show our sincerity and make the Qingqiu Demon Emperor feel our respect. Perhaps this can give us a glimmer of hope in obtaining the Immortal Spirit Wood.”
David didn’t say anything else. His pale purple divine soul aura swayed slightly, and he said with some gratitude, “Thank you for your hard work.”
For the past five days, Gui Yuanzi had been running around tirelessly for him, even risking his life to go to dangerous places to gather clues. David sangat tersentuh oleh kesetiaannya.
“Tuan Muda, Anda terlalu baik.” Gui Yuanzi immediately bowed and greeted, his tone full of respect.
“It is my honor to serve you, Young Master. Rest well tonight and get enough rest. We will leave for the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge tomorrow morning.”
After saying that, he carefully put away the beast skin map, then carefully examined the soul invigorating liquid in the jade bottle. After confirming that there was no problem, he turned and left the secret room, gently closing the stone door, leaving David alone in the secret room to rest and recuperate.
Silence enveloped the secret room again.
David’s soul floated in the jade bottle, slowly circulating the Great Luo Golden Scripture technique and absorbing the essence of the Soul Nourishing Liquid, while his mind pondered the matter of the Ten Thousand Demon Hills and the Qingqiu Demon Emperor.
He knew that going to the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge to obtain the Immortal Spirit Wood would be a difficult journey, filled with unknown dangers, but he had no return and could only continue forward.
He remembered Bai Qian in the Celestial Realm, Jiang Xuelan on Sixteenth Heaven, and Gui Yuanzi’s loyalty; his confidence grew stronger.
No matter how great the difficulties he faced, he would succeed in obtaining the Immortal Spirit Wood, reshape his physical body, and then gradually become stronger to fulfill his wish.
