Starting With 100 Million Lives-Chapter 736: Offering You an Opportunity

"So, what are you planning to do?"

Facing the still cautious Han Ling, Brother Cheng redirected with a question instead of answering.

"It's not about what I want to do now, but what are you planning to do by bringing the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain here?"

"Well..."

Han Ling's expression turned a bit unnatural, and she stammered, "I can't say."

Brother Cheng, being who he is, could guess roughly just from her expression.

Judging by the Realm of this group of little snowmen, he could also see the caliber of their Sect.

With such a treasure, there wasn't even an Immortal King leading the guards.

They obviously didn't have the capability to break the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain.

So the only thing they could do was to sell this mountain.

Logically, selling this mountain to a power with a Quasi-Emperor Immortal Emperor, having them 'help' cut from the outside, would aid in his breakout.

But the problem is that the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain is too hard; even if an Immortal Emperor took action, it would take countless years.

If they further deliberate and pass it on, it would be very troublesome.

It could take tens of thousands of years to deal with it.

And if something unexpected happens, and they move the mountain to a secluded place to hide it, that'll be even worse.

That would be slower than if he did it himself.

"Alright, alright, I know, you guys are planning to kill me." He joked intentionally.

Han Ling was stunned, quickly denying, "I, we didn't..."

Brother Cheng interrupted her, "Didn't you? This mountain is my incarnation; moving me from the original place is cutting off my vitality!"

What?

Han Ling's face changed drastically, wanting to refute, but she couldn't.

On careful thinking, isn't that the case?

It's like rudely chopping off a tree's roots and forcibly moving it; wouldn't that kill the tree too?

Thus, remorse and heavy apologetic feelings appeared in her eyes.

"Then... what should I do?"

"I don't want to harm you, and we didn't know you were alive!"

"I'll go find the Sect Leader and have them move you back..."

No, that's not the effect I'm aiming for.

Her reaction actually greatly surprised Brother Cheng.

Are there actually such kindhearted people in the Cultivation Realm?

"No need, the roots are already severed; it's too late to move back, and besides, your Sect Leader definitely won't listen to you."

Han Ling, extremely worried, hurriedly said, "But, but I can't just watch you die; what can I do to save you?"

Save me?

Brother Cheng was a bit bewildered himself.

Originally, he had prepared many lines to persuade this girl, but now they were all unnecessary.

This girl's heart is extraordinarily kind.

Not even familiar with him, yet she's already thinking about him?

Brother Cheng even suspected that if she saw an enemy in distress, she would take them back and carefully heal them.

"Well, actually keeping me alive is quite simple; just set up an Element Gathering Array nearby, and I can recover some vitality."

What he needed was more Immortal Yuan Power; that would greatly shorten his breakout time.

"But I don't know how to set up such a high-tier Array..."

"No need for anything high-tier; Tier One will do."

As long as there was a Tier One Element Gathering Array, Brother Cheng could establish a connection with the Immortal Crystal Vein here.

By that time, he could take whatever he wanted from that vein.

"Tier One will suffice?" Han Ling didn't know his plan; she was a bit surprised.

A Tier One Element Gathering Array is quite basic, and it gathers very little Immortal Yuan Qi, so even a True Immortal wouldn't bother using it.

Could such a small Gathering Array really help the 'Mountain God' recover?

"Yes, Tier One is enough. How could I, for my own sake, absorb too much of your Sect's Immortal Yuan Qi?"

Han Ling was almost moved by him.

She rubbed her reddened eyes, speaking with a bit of sympathy, "You've fallen to this state and are still thinking of us; it seems you are truly a good person."

Brother Cheng was sweating like a waterfall; is this a compliment or an insult?

He even felt a bit guilty deceiving this young girl.

After some calculations, he decided he should compensate the girl well in the future.

At the very least, the Immortal Crystal Vein he drained should be returned to her later.

Next, Han Ling actually started setting up an Element Gathering Array nearby.

The other Snow Spirit Race disciples looked over in surprise.

"Han Ling, what are you doing?"

"Yeah, why are you setting up an Element Gathering Array here?"

Han Ling's face changed slightly; after a long while, she came up with an excuse: "We can't just do nothing while guarding here, right? I'm planning to cultivate a bit."

"Oh, that's it!"

The other snowmen suddenly realized and stopped asking further questions.

The main reason was that the Element Gathering Array was too low-tier, and it was an enhancement-type Array.

No one would think it could bring about any massive change.

Once the Element Gathering Array was set, Brother Cheng's Immortal Soul probed it, and in the blink of an eye, he located the faraway vein beneath.

Using this low-tier Array as a bridge, he quickly gained control over the vein.

Then, he began the devouring process.

His Immortal Soul was recovering at an unbelievable speed.

Brother Cheng was overjoyed; this really worked!

He quickly performed a top-tier Immortal Technique of Soul Reversal, using his Immortal Soul to nurture his Immortal Body.

This process wasn't as smooth.

With the blockade of the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal, a large amount of Immortal Yuan Power was repelled.

Only a small amount entered his body.

With Brother Cheng's power, he couldn't restore enough Primordial Qi in less than a month.

"Elder Mountain God, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

Han Ling secretly transmitted her voice towards the Nine-Colored Celestial Crystal Mountain; she was quite worried about failing to save this 'Mountain God.'

"I'm much better."

"That's great!"

Her joy was genuine, so much so that Brother Cheng was a bit moved.

"Little sister, thank you for your help. How about this, seeing as you're so kind-hearted, I'll give you an opportunity in the future."

"Pfft!"

"You're going to give me an opportunity?"

Han Ling laughed out loud, causing the other snowmen to look over in surprise.

What opportunity?

She hurriedly transmitted again: "Forget it, you've fallen to this level, you should worry about taking care of yourself, Old Mountain God!"

Brother Cheng was speechless; was he just belittled by a little snow person?

And although he's young and handsome, why add 'old' to Mountain God?

Where's the prestige?

"Little sister, don't regret it in the future; it'll be too late if you're clinging to me begging then."

"Keep boasting."

Han Ling just thought he was bragging.

"I don't believe you, and don't call me little sister, I'm not a woman!"

You're not a woman?

Brother Cheng was stunned.

Your voice and appearance resemble a woman.

"Alright, little brother..."

"I'm not a little brother either; our Snow Spirit Race doesn't have the Human Race's gender distinctions!"

What?

"So you're a Yin Yang Person?"

"Now you know!" Han Ling proudly raised her chin, as if being a Yin Yang Person was an honor.

This left Brother Cheng not knowing where to start with the ridicule for a moment.

Just then, he suddenly noticed an unusual movement outside.

Underneath the snow, a touch of new green was gradually spreading toward this direction.
