Chapter 2533 Deputy Sect Master of the Blackwater Gate
“As far as I know, the deputy sect leader of the Blackwater Sect is nearing the end of his life, so he urgently needs something like this to extend his lifespan. Give me a definite answer about whether or not to sell him the Evergreen Lamp so I can reply to him,” Li Yan said.
“Selling is definitely out of the question, but…” Qin Fei paused deliberately.
“Brother Qin, it’s just the two of us here, so please feel free to speak your mind,” Li Yan said.
“Brother Li, as you know, some things cannot be measured by value, especially when it comes to increasing lifespan. For people with vigorous vitality, the value of this evergreen lamp is not as great as it seems, but for those who are about to die, this thing is like a priceless treasure.”
"So I definitely can't sell something like this to anyone else, but I have another compromise."
"What do you think."
"If the deputy sect leader of the Blackwater Sect gives me 50,000 spiritual herbs, plus a year as my bodyguard, I can lend him the Evergreen Lamp temporarily," Qin Fei said.
"Well...they definitely won't agree."
Hearing Qin Fei's words, even Li Yan couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.
Keep in mind that 50,000 medicinal herbs is already an astronomical price, and adding the option of being a bodyguard for a year makes it even less likely that the other party will agree.
Even if the deputy leader of the Blackwater Sect is not the best, he is still much more powerful than the average person. It would be strange if someone agreed to let such a person be a bodyguard.
"I don't care whether he agrees or not. These are my demands. If he doesn't agree, then there's nothing to discuss," Qin Fei said firmly.
Indeed, for most people, such a compromise would be even more unacceptable than simply offering 100,000 spiritual herbs. But since Qin Fei dared to say such a thing, he must have some confidence in it.
For some people, being alive may be more important than anything else.
Whether in the cultivation world or the secular world, wealthy people will do anything to survive, so if the deputy sect leader of the Blackwater Sect wants to live, he might agree to these demands.
Of course, Qin Fei felt that the other party would most likely agree.
After all, if he weren't about to die, he wouldn't have offered so many elixirs in exchange for his Everlasting Lamp.
If the other party can only survive by relying on the Evergreen Lamp, then the other party will agree to Qin Fei's request.
"Okay, I'll pass the message on for you."
The headquarters of Blackwater Gate.
When the deputy leader of the Blackwater Sect heard Qin Fei's demands, he did not show any anger. Instead, he slowly raised his head and looked at the Li family member who had come to deliver the message: "Are you sure this news is true?"
“It’s absolutely true. I brought this message exactly as instructed by our young master, word for word,” said the member of the Li family.
“Alright, I’ll go with you now,” said the deputy leader of the Blackwater Sect.
He had gone to great lengths and paid a huge price to send the message to Qin Fei, and now that Qin Fei had responded, he was determined to meet with him.
Whether it succeeds or not, at least it's a good start.
"Alright, then come with me!"
Although this member of the Li family was far inferior to the deputy sect leader of the Blackwater Sect in terms of cultivation, he was not afraid of what the other party might do to him. So he immediately took the deputy sect leader of the Blackwater Sect back to the Li family's residence.
Here, the deputy sect leader of the Blackwater Sect met Li Yan and respectfully presented him with his gift of gratitude.
A box of miraculous herbs!
There are at least several hundred of them.
"What is the meaning of this, Your Excellency?" Li Yan asked, looking at the other party.
"Young Master Li, you helped me deliver the message. This is a thank-you gift I prepared for you," the other party replied immediately.
"I'm helping you not because of your reputation, but because others stood up for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't even want to see your sect leader, let alone you," Li Yan sneered.
Blackwater Gate already had a bad reputation, and Li Yan really didn't want to have too much contact with them, lest it affect his own reputation.
"Yes, yes, I know that Young Master Li put in a lot of effort, which is why I specially prepared this gift to thank you."
"I know you've come here to see Qin Fei. Go ahead, he's waiting for you in the side room next door."
Humans have sinned, but there are no elixirs, so in the end Li Yan accepted these elixirs.
Before long, the deputy leader of the Blackwater Sect met Qin Fei. As he sized up Qin Fei, Qin Fei also looked up at him.
"With such a dense aura of death surrounding you, it's no wonder you're so eager to see me."
With just one glance, Qin Fei immediately understood.
The Evergreen Lamp is a divine artifact that can increase lifespan. If this treasure falls into the hands of the deputy sect leader of the Black Water Sect, his lifespan will be greatly increased.
If he can successfully break through his cultivation realm under the protection of the Evergreen Lamp, then he would be worth more than 100,000 spiritual herbs, even 200,000 would be worth it!
After all, once his cultivation level breaks through, his lifespan will definitely increase significantly, and the situation of him being surrounded by death energy will be completely rewritten.
No wonder he was so eager to get the Evergreen Lamp from me; it was indeed extremely important to him.
"Young Master Qin, let's not beat around the bush. I already know what you told me before. I agree to all your demands, and I will also give you 100,000 spirit herbs in full, plus be your personal bodyguard for a year."
The deputy leader of the Blackwater Sect was a smart man. He immediately offered a condition that Qin Fei found very appealing.
Qin Fei almost agreed immediately.
But Qin Fei wasn't stupid. Even if the other party's lifespan was coming to an end, there was no need for him to make things so easy for himself.
It's said that nothing comes for free, and if something like that really happens, it's very likely a trap.
Qin Fei's mind raced as he pondered why the man had said those words. After a moment, he finally found the answer.
Flatter!
He felt that the other person was trying to curry favor with him.
No, it's that he wants to curry favor with his master!
After all, everyone in the city had witnessed firsthand how powerful their master was. Even the Liu family's Divine Martial Sect was no match for their master. Even when the Liu family's Grand Elder stepped in, they still suffered a crushing defeat.
In this situation, anyone who can latch onto his coattails will surely soar to great heights and rise to prominence overnight.
Although the Blackwater Sect has a certain reputation in the cultivation world, they are ultimately just a second-rate force. Is the vice sect leader of the Blackwater Sect trying to take this opportunity to curry favor with the God of Wine?
Could it even allow Blackwater to be whitewashed and become another top-tier power?
Thinking of this, Qin Fei couldn't help but feel a chill.
Calculate!
What a deep calculation.
one stone two bird.
If one can both curry favor with powerful figures and extend one's lifespan, then a mere 100,000 medicinal herbs are actually nothing.
