Chapter 253 The Scheming Fish And The Fool
Chapter 253: Cunning Fish and Foolish Bone
The secret that Hong Li shared with Zhang Chi is enough to shake the entire Immortal Cultivation World.
Gu Youyou, who is well-versed in the Demon Race, has never seen such a stunning technique before.
Upon careful consideration, this concept is truly extraordinary. What kind of genius could create such a technique?
"I wonder who could have such a brilliant idea."
Gu Youyou sighed in admiration, feeling a sense of respect.
"If I were in the same era as that person, I would definitely seek guidance from them."
The battle maniac Gu Youyou longed for a valuable opponent.
Zhang Chi shrugged, neither confirming nor denying.
Fighting with others may be a way to sharpen oneself, but Zhang Chi simply didn't like using that method.
Of course, once he becomes strong enough in the future, he might consider it.
For now, his main concern is steadily improving his cultivation.
The secret that Hong Li shared indeed excited him, but his principles prevented him from harboring greed. Instead, he carefully scrutinized Hong Li.
Hong Li's Divine Ability is indeed powerful, changing the Divine Ability Flower into a Tree of Unity. In terms of concept, it does make sense.
Although Zhang Chi didn't understand, Gu Youyou was greatly shocked, so there was no need for him to verify its authenticity.
However, Zhang Chi was observant of human nature, much stronger than Gu Youyou's combat-oriented mind.
Although Hong Li has become a fish and cannot transform, and Zhang Chi cannot see her change in expression, he knows that she is adaptable.
She can endure humiliation for a while, but she will never willingly hand over something so important.
Either she will set a trap or raise the price.
The latter is fine, but if it's the former, he might have to figure out a way to eat the fish today.
In order to maintain control, Zhang Chi did not show any desire for this technique. Instead, he remained indifferent and said, "To take, one must first give. You've painted such a big picture for me, what do you want?"
Zhang Chi now has absolute control, so there is no need to play any mind games with Hong Li.
You were the one who made plans, right?
Then I'll reveal all the plans in your mind and see if you panic.
Upon hearing Zhang Chi's words, Hong Li's heart tightened. She knew that Zhang Chi, this old monster, had become suspicious. She didn't dare to argue, but she also didn't want to weaken her own prestige.
If they were to negotiate, she would be too lowly, afraid of being taken advantage of.
She would never step into the same trap again.
Hong Li took the opportunity to say, "You're right, secrets are secrets, but techniques come at a different price. I believe that with your strength, you should be able to see the value of this technique."
As Hong Li spoke, she also muttered to herself, wondering if this old monster was pretending.
The concept she presented, could it be rejected by cultivators above the Divine Ability level?
At the Divine Ability stage, every cultivator would face a difficult choice. The ability to kill and defend is the foundation of a cultivator's existence in the cultivation world. With this ability, they can confront powerful enemies.
Defensive Divine Abilities, escape Divine Abilities, and healing Divine Abilities can protect one's life and property. As long as one lives long enough, they won't fear being unable to rise.
There are also various abilities for predicting fortune and calamity, sensing good and bad, or increasing cultivation. There are many types of Divine Abilities, each with its own strengths.
But you can't have both the fish and the bear's paw. An adult can only choose one, but Hong Li's technique can allow people to have them all.
Perhaps there are still limitations in quantity, but it is still much better than being limited to only one life-saving Divine Ability.
Hong Li's judgment was correct, even Gu Youyou was tempted.
Unfortunately, she was facing an opponent who couldn't be fooled even if she tried to deceive him with a knife.
Four words: clear-headed in the mortal world.
Upon hearing Hong Li's offer, Zhang Chi smiled faintly and said, "Then state your price."
Hong Li: "......"
Zhang Chi's smile sent a chill down her spine.
Even though Zhang Chi was also a handsome young man, and his smile was like that of a cheerful and sunny boy, in Hong Li's eyes, he seemed particularly sinister.
This made her feel as if, if she asked for a high price, Zhang Chi would immediately chop her down with a kitchen knife.
Don't panic, he just swore a moment ago.
"I want you to protect me and provide me with Spirit Pills and Spirit Medicine to heal my injuries within three months."
Hong Li estimated that if she had Spirit Pills, she could recover in half a month.
Then she would be able to escape at any time.
The reason for saying three months was to make Zhang Chi relax his guard and mistakenly believe that she needed three months to recover.
This fish was full of tricks.
"It's a very ordinary condition, I can agree to it."
Zhang Chi suddenly became easygoing, which made Hong Li feel a bit strange.
Is this really Zhang Chi?
Could he have some kind of conspiracy?
Hong Li felt uneasy. She had many calculations in mind, but Zhang Chi completely controlled the rhythm of the conversation and appeared to have a gentle attitude, leaving Hong Li unsure.
She fell into silence, and Zhang Chi casually said, "The deal has been reached, why aren't you speaking?"
Could it be that you are considering whether or not to tell me about the restrictions of the technique?
Hong Li was suddenly shocked. Zhang Chi had actually seen through her plan.
She had originally not planned to say anything, and only reveal the restrictions of the technique after Zhang Chi practiced it, making it impossible for him to turn back.
The Flower of Divine Ability was destroyed, and the Tree of Unity couldn't be cultivated. No matter how many means he had, he could only reach the Divine Ability Realm without Divine Ability.
At that time, she would be able to easily control Zhang Chi, right?
However, Zhang Chi had just revealed half of her plan, which made Hong Li panic.
Zhang Chi was not a good person. Knowing that she had been schemed against, he would definitely seek revenge.
How would she protect herself then?
In that instant, Hong Li's mind raced, thinking about many things, before deciding to retreat in order to advance.
She used her sweet voice and coquettishly said, "How can you think of me like that? We, the Monster Race, have always been the most trustworthy in our dealings!
If you don't believe me, then let's cancel this deal."
Anyway, he had already agreed not to turn her into fish soup. Even if her plan failed, she could just lie in the fish tank.
A gentleman takes revenge after ten years. If she couldn't secretly plot against Zhang Chi with the technique, then preserving her life was the most important.
As the two of them faced off, Gu Youyou finally reacted after listening for a while.
"How did you know there were restrictions on the technique?"
"Nonsense, anyone with a bit of brain should be able to figure it out. If this thing could be learned so easily, wouldn't it be all over the world?"
Gu Youyou: "......"
"I didn't say you don't have a brain, I just meant..."
Zhang Chi spoke too quickly and suddenly realized that he had unintentionally mocked her intelligence.
Sorry, I really didn't mean it.
Gu Youyou: "......"
If you don't explain, I can pretend nothing happened...
PS: I will make up for yesterday's update today. It's just that my wife's wisdom tooth got infected, and she insisted on me accompanying her to get an injection in the morning, which made it so late. I'll explain the situation with a 2,000-word update first, and then complete the updates tonight.
