Chapter 404: Chapter 208: Innate Yin Body, Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede (Part 2)

If the other party did not explicitly refuse, it means there is still a chance, which gave Zheng Yi more confidence in his heart.

After listening to Zheng Yi, Wei Xu remained silent for a moment, gently sipping a cup of tea.

When he looked up again, his gaze was fixed on Zheng Yi, eyes flickering with bright light, and the hall fell into silence for a time.

Seeing Wei Xu silent, Zheng Yi finally opened his mouth and asked a question.

"I have heard rumors recently that in Blood Mist Abyss City, Master Wei is recruiting experts. As long as both sides reach an agreement, any conditions can be proposed. What I seek is the Tier Three Array inheritance in Master Wei’s hands."

"If so, then I will say more. May I ask, what exactly is the commission? Am I fortunate enough to reach a condition with Master Wei?!"

"Since you are here for the Tier Three Array inheritance, I won’t hide it from you."

At this point, Wei Xu finally spoke, not directly answering Zheng Yi’s words, but instead called a servant, and a girl of no great age was brought out.

The girl looked thin, an evident beauty, but her body was extremely weak, skin and bones, and was pushed out on a wheelchair.

She seemed less than twenty years old. When she saw Wei Xu, a faint smile appeared on her pale face, and she called out ’Grandfather’.

She seemed to want to say something but suddenly saw Zheng Yi sitting beside the main seat, and shyly lowered her head, appearing a bit bashful.

"Shuke, you go to the backyard first, grandfather will come to accompany you in a moment."

Wei Xu’s face was full of smiles, his eyes showing an indulgence for the girl, just like a grandfather’s affection for his granddaughter in the secular world.

"Mm."

A mosquito-like voice answered, and she was pushed out by the servant.

Watching the figure of the girl in the wheelchair completely disappear beyond the porch, Wei Xu’s expression became full of melancholy, saying somewhat heartbrokenly: "This is my granddaughter, Wei Shuke."

He then turned his head and continued speaking to Zheng Yi: "You should have seen it!"

Zheng Yi’s face became slightly serious, speaking word by word.

"From what I see, this girl seems to possess an Innate Extremely Cold Yin Body but survives due to Foundation Establishment with heavenly and earthly treasures, no doubt due to Master Wei’s methods."

"However, the Yin cold has entered the body, bone, and soul, which is treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. Even if life is prolonged, it is feared that it would still be difficult to turn the situation around."

The Innate Extremely Cold Yin Body is an extremely overbearing physique.

Different from the Little Five Elements Yin Yang Dao Embryo that Zheng Yi possesses, this is an innate physique, generally appearing in females, wherein as age increases, the cold energy erupts.

This Wei Shuke is not innately disabled, but the cold energy within the body has reached a certain level, accumulated in the lower body, freezing the veins, making movement impossible.

Moreover, in Zheng Yi’s sensing, the cold energy within Wei Shuke’s body is still accumulating, gathered to a rather terrifying degree. If this continues, within less than two years, the entire soul and marrow will be frozen completely, and even if a Daluo Golden Immortal descends, it would be impossible to save her.

That is why Zheng Yi spoke in this way.

"Indeed, it is an Innate Extremely Cold Yin Body."

Wei Xu nodded and said after hearing.

"I have been in seclusion for many years, and this granddaughter is a large part of the reason. My only son and his Daoist partner accidentally passed away early, leaving only this girl, and we have been dependent on each other. Unfortunately, she was born with this strange body, and there is no cure from herbs and plants. Previously attempted many secret techniques and medicinal prescriptions could only slow the onset of the cold energy, but nothing could fundamentally cure this physique."

"However, as she ages, the frequency of Yin cold energy outbreaks becomes higher, and the prior action of drinking poison to quench thirst only makes the Yin cold energy even more intense; now the cold poison has entered the soul, her time is running out."

"I am not a physician!"

Zheng Yi frowned slightly and understood in his heart.

Wei Xu’s commission this time must be related to Wei Shuke, but asking him to cure and save someone is indeed too difficult.

After all, he is only good at killing.

"Naturally not."

Wei Xu rejected his speculation and continued: "I have commissioned a friend who has already obtained a prescription that can cure the Innate Extremely Cold Yin Body, but the most crucial main ingredient is missing."

"This time, success is the only option, no room for failure."

"Next, I, Wei, will have a big operation. Alliance Leader Zheng’s extraordinary strength is obvious to all. As long as you agree to accompany us at that time, to fulfill Wei’s wish, for the mere array inheritance, Wei certainly will not be stingy and will definitely offer it with both hands!"

"What is the main ingredient?!"

Zheng Yi frowned and asked.

If it were easy to obtain, then Master Wei probably wouldn’t turn to him, but only because it is difficult that he gathers friends to help.

"The Inner Core of the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede!"

Wei Xu stated categorically.

"The Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede?"

Zheng Yi repeated in his mind; he vaguely heard this name, and for a moment, somewhat forgot.

Evil Prison Canyon? Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede?

At this moment, a flash of inspiration struck in his mind, and Zheng Yi finally recalled where he had heard this special name.

At the same time, a special place name popped up in his mind.

As one of the most famous danger zones around the Earth Desolate Mountain Range, Evil Prison Canyon is a place where even Purple Mansion Cultivators must be cautious. It is shrouded all year round in eerie ghostly mist, harboring numerous terrifying fierce beasts below, and there are poisons everywhere, extremely perilous, where few tread.

Furthermore, as nothing precious has ever been produced from Evil Prison Canyon, it has become a forbidden zone, frequented only by those who refine poisons or practice Poison Refining over time.

And the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede mentioned by Wei Xu is the overlord of this danger zone, rumored to have a strength comparable to a Late Stage Purple Mansion Cultivator.

It is because it is a natural exotic species, in Evil Prison Canyon, like a fish in water, and with the help of the unique environment formed by the absolute area, this terrifying fierce beast can summon miasmic flames and mobilize underground Yin Fiend, much like a dragonfish in the ocean, and its ability to exert its potential will be greatly amplified.

A single Late Stage Purple Mansion Cultivator, if faced with this fierce beast, may not be able to slay the demon, and might even find themselves caught in danger, bringing death upon themselves.

Moreover, wanting to capture this slippery exotic beast in the complex terrain of Evil Prison Canyon is almost like climbing to the sky, akin to finding a needle in a haystack. Even if a few from Purple Mansion strike at the same time, they would likely have to set up a Heaven and Earth Net to barely touch it.

"The Inner Core of the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede is not something that an ordinary Purple Mansion Cultivator can obtain."

Zheng Yi spoke with a heavy expression, eyes looking at Master Wei Xu, and said.

"Given that Master Wei Xu has mentioned it, you must have made arrangements..."

For him to act alone, delving into Evil Prison Canyon to seek treasures, this transaction is not easy; frankly, it’s a bit troublesome.

Because in the environment of Evil Prison Canyon, the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede is like a fish in water, leaving no room for attack.

Having gone through the Three Sects Alliance incident, the outside world has long praised Zheng Yi’s strength to the heavens.

But he won’t arrogantly think that he can easily subdue the exotic species Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede of the Late Stage Purple Mansion.

Such a monster is naturally stronger than a human cultivator of the Same Tier.

Especially when entering a special environment, at that time arriving at the main arena of the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede, it isn’t certain who would win or lose?!

"What if the exchange was not for the Tier Three Array inheritance, but for the Tier Four Array inheritance?!"

Wei Xu, unconcerned about Zheng Yi’s words, instead lowered his head sipping tea, then looked up smiling and said.

"Hmm?! You have Tier Four Array inheritance?!"

Zheng Yi was slightly startled, with some hesitation asked.

Based on his understanding of Wei Xu, his identity as a Tier Three Array Master is indisputable, known as the foremost Array Master of the Three Sects, with a legitimate reputation.

Now suddenly claiming to have Tier Four Array inheritance, this is somewhat surprising.

After all, in the Hundred Skills of Cultivation, unique inheritance holds significant value.

If the Tier Three Array inheritance is already a closely guarded, treasured asset.

Then the Tier Four Array inheritance, to many Array Masters, is akin to the Golden Core Sect’s Scripture, truly priceless, with no market for it.

This contrast instead made Zheng Yi feel a bit doubtful.
