"You… you're actually using the entire Black Emperor City to threaten me?" Mo Tianxing shot to his feet, pupils contracting sharply.

Wei Yang's expression remained calm as his eyelids lowered slightly. His voice was faint: "Eight breaths left."

Mo Tianxing's mouth opened slightly.

He didn't know if Wei Yang's words were true or not.

Turn the entire Black Emperor City into ashes?One had to understand—Black Emperor City had a population of well over a million!Who would dare to openly commit such a massacre?Even the most ruthless of villains would likely hesitate to act so brazenly.

But regardless, Mo Tianxing did not dare to gamble.

Because while Black Emperor City might still remain, the Black Emperor Sect… might not.

Time passed slowly.

At the doorway, Du Jiao's burly frame now completely blocked the exit, and a terrifying aura began to seep from his body.

That aura made Mo Tianxing's heart sink entirely.

Nine-Star Dou Zong!

Damn it!

"The ten breaths are up," Wei Yang said as he opened his eyes.

"I want one Zong Breaking Pill and one Deep Green Longevity Pill," Mo Tianxing quickly replied, letting out a sigh in his heart.

In that moment, he deeply understood the meaning of "An innocent man gets into trouble because of his treasure."

Although he felt some anger and unwillingness, he wasn't surprised.

After all, in a place like the Black-Corner Region, where no laws existed, the only truth was the size of one's fist. And clearly, Wei Yang's fist… was very big.

Owning such a precious heaven-and-earth treasure without the strength to protect it—that was the greatest crime of all.

Still, it wasn't as bad as it could be. Wei Yang wasn't taking it for free; he was willing to trade something in exchange. Otherwise, that would have been a real loss.

Unlike in the original story, Mo Tianxing had only recently obtained the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva. So, deep down, he was reluctant to part with it.

If this had been two years later, he might have agreed to the price without hesitation.

After all, compared to the price offered by Elder Ying Shan in the original timeline, Wei Yang's offer was far better.

Of course, that was to be expected—in the original, Mo Tianxing had brought it out himself to auction.

There was a mental and emotional difference between offering something willingly and being in this current state of half-willing, half-unwilling.

One Zong Breaking Pill, one Deep Green Longevity Pill.

"Fine." Wei Yang nodded, flipping his hand to take out two jade bottles, which he placed on the table in front of him.

Then his gaze shifted toward Mo Tianxing, "And the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva?"

Mo Tianxing also flipped his hand, producing a crystal box which he held in his palm.

"The Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva is here. But, Mister Wei, I need you to promise me—both you and your subordinates, as well as the force behind you—will not retaliate against my Black Emperor Sect in the future. Otherwise—"

He stopped abruptly.

Afraid of provoking this dangerous man any further.

However, the Dou Qi faintly circulating around his hand that held the crystal box clearly expressed his attitude—if necessary, he would fight to the death.

Wei Yang glanced at him without replying. Instead, his gaze focused intently on the crystal box in Mo Tianxing's hand.

It was transparent, reflecting dazzling, dream-like light under the illumination of the room.

At that moment, Wei Yang ignored the glare entirely, staring unblinking at what was inside.

Within the box, a faint, mysterious radiance shimmered.

Suspended in mid-air inside was a fist-sized, slightly emerald-green, viscous substance, slowly wriggling and drifting about.

It looked almost like a soft-bodied creature, and as it squirmed, ripples of liquid rolled across its surface, making it appear alive.

This mass of emerald-green viscous liquid floated without support, and it seemed to possess a trace of intelligence, lazily drifting inside the container.

A strange halo spread across its surface, making it look especially wondrous.

"So… this is the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva?" Wei Yang narrowed his eyes, muttering under his breath as he stared at the floating green liquid.

Beside him, Xian'er's beautiful eyes were also fixed on the strange, glowing liquid. In their depths flashed a hint of excitement and burning desire.

"Yes, this is the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva," Mo Tianxing said, his own eyes flashing with greed and longing as he gazed at the contents of the crystal box.

Then he lifted his head slightly, his voice steady and deliberate: "Mister Wei?"

Wei Yang took a deep breath, gradually suppressing the heat in his heart. A faint surge of his soul perception extended outward.

Yet the moment it touched the crystal box, it was met with resistance, unable to penetrate inside.

"Quite cautious," Wei Yang remarked with a faint smile, withdrawing his soul perception without minding it further.

"I can guarantee you," Wei Yang said slowly, "That afterward, neither I, nor my subordinates, nor the forces behind me, will retaliate against anyone in your Black Emperor Sect."

Huu~

Hearing this, Mo Tianxing, along with Mo Ya and Qi Shan, all let out a quiet breath of relief.

A guarantee from the other side was enough.

Otherwise, rather than letting the other party take the item and then turn hostile later, it would be better to destroy the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva right now.

As for whether they would go back on their word after making the promise?

That wasn't something to worry too much about.

Because it was unlikely.

Generally speaking, strong cultivators meant what they said and wouldn't lightly play the game of going back on their word.

The stronger they were, the more they valued their reputation and face.

After all, those without credibility were despised by everyone. No one would dare deal with such people—they'd simply choose to keep their distance.

After all, without trust, a person cannot stand in this world. It was an unspoken rule everyone understood and followed; otherwise, chaos would reign.

Someone without integrity wouldn't survive long.

Of course, if the other party really had no shame, and chose to break their promise just to take revenge, then the Black Emperor Sect could only accept their misfortune.

"Now," Wei Yang asked, "Can you make the trade without worry?"

"Mm." Mo Tianxing nodded.

With a wave of Wei Yang's hand, the two jade bottles on the table floated up into the air, landing in Ah Da's hands.

Ah Da stepped forward a few paces, uncorked one of the bottles, and handed it to Mo Tianxing.

As the stopper came off, two streams of rich, colored pill fragrance drifted slowly from the mouths of the bottles, spreading into the air. The scent alone made one's spirit involuntarily stir.

Mo Tianxing glanced inside the bottle, a faint flash of joy passing through his eyes. Immediately after, he handed the crystal box in his own hand to Ah Da.

Both sides took the items from each other and examined them carefully.

Once confirmed to be genuine— Ah Da carried the crystal box over to Wei Yang, bowed slightly, and placed it gently on the table.

Wei Yang lifted the lid and gazed at the cluster of floating emerald liquid inside. His soul perception swept through it meticulously.

After confirming it was flawless—he allowed a small smile to appear and glanced toward Xian'er, who had come closer, her beautiful eyes locked on the liquid. He gave her a slight nod.

Seeing this, Xian'er exhaled slowly, a breathtaking smile blooming across her face.

Wei Yang couldn't help but smile happily as well.

The Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva was finally in his hands.

Although the price was much higher than in the original story, it didn't matter to him.

Two years' time was far more precious to Wei Yang than a single pill. And pills, in his view, were never in short supply as long as he had the ingredients.

Fortunately, with the Life Spirit Flame in his possession, he was rarely short on ingredients either.

Now, all that remained was obtaining a magic core from a Rank 7 Sky Poison Dragon Scorpion Beast.

Although Xian'er herself had once said that with the Ghostly Poison Flame, she was confident she could perfectly control the Woeful Poison Body without relying on this Poison Pill Method— Wei Yang still intended to use the Poison Pill method to ensure absolutely no risk.

Moreover, the pseudo-core she had condensed within her body would ultimately need to be solidified into a true core.

When that happened, the Poison Pill combined with the Poison Flame would only make Xian'er even stronger.

What's more, condensing the Poison Pill came with another huge benefit—it would allow Xian'er to easily step into the Dou Zun realm, and not just at One-Star—at least Two or Three-Star!

Wei Yang closed the crystal box and gently slid it toward Xian'er, smiling softly.

"Put it away."

"Mm." Xian'er nodded excitedly, carefully lifting the box. After placing several seals on it, she flipped her hand and stored it away.
