Morning and evening, the deal is done
“Ah!!”
Shen Fan’s scream immediately drew the attention of those around.
When the people on the second floor of the tavern looked over,
They instantly shrieked and scrambled to leave.
In an instant, only Shen Fan and the girl remained in the entire tavern.
“You… are you insane?!”
Shen Fan looked at his severed hands and the spurting blood, a look of panic on his face.
“You lecher, don’t think that just because you’re here for a transaction, you can do whatever you want!”
Saying that, she sheathed her sword, then went behind Shen Fan and opened the package.
Seeing over a hundred qiankun bags inside, she casually rummaged through one to inspect it.
After confirming the items were correct,
She directly threw a qiankun bag in front of Shen Fan.
Then, she turned and left gracefully.
“Lu Zhaozhao! Are you out of your mind?!”
“Why did you cut off my hands for no reason?!”
The woman, who had already reached the staircase, suddenly stopped.
“You know my sister?”
“Your sister?”
Shen Fan was utterly stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief as he looked at the woman.
Looking closely now, although this girl looked exactly like Lu Zhaozhao, the cool and aloof aura about her was completely different from the lively, unrestrained, and cheerful feeling that Lu Zhaozhao exuded.
“You’re Lu Zhaozhao’s sister?”
And at this moment,
The girl also realized that she might have acted impulsively.
She then turned back and sat down, looking at the severed hands on the table, somewhat at a loss.
If she had just left, none of this would have happened.
But now, it was clear that the other party had mistaken her for someone else.
She couldn’t just leave; she wouldn’t be able to explain it when she got back!
Moreover, the other party knew her sister. How would she explain it if her sister found out?
“Um… um… I’m sorry, I thought you were trying to take liberties with me, so I…”
The girl apologized, then picked up one hand and placed it against the arm.
“Do you think it can still be reattached?”
“Hold still!”
Shen Fan barked, his face stern.
Theoretically, it shouldn’t be reattached.
But he had the Blood Locust Divine Skill!
His spiritual energy circulated, stimulating his vital essence.
At the connection point between his wrist and arm, the Spiritual Veins sensed each other, and with vital essence as a bridge, they began to reconstruct.
Before long, his severed hands slowly began to reattach.
Seeing this, the girl immediately showed a surprised expression, clearly shocked by Shen Fan’s technique of reattaching severed limbs.
However, because they had just been reattached, he couldn’t move them freely yet and had no strength.
This had an advantage: it greatly saved the consumption of vital essence.
Looking around at the empty surroundings,
The waiter at the staircase peeked in, observing the situation inside.
Shen Fan suggested, “Let’s talk somewhere else!”
Subsequently, the two arrived at an uninhabited mountain outside Su City.
“Are you truly Lu Zhaozhao’s sister?”
Shen Fan scrutinized the girl who looked exactly like Lu Zhaozhao, “What’s your name?”
“My name is Lu Mumu!” Lu Mumu’s voice remained cool and aloof.
“Chaochao Mumu? Good names!”
Shen Fan chuckled, “Then why are you in Chun Nong Valley? Your sister is in Ice Fire Sect, isn’t she?”
Lu Mumu explained, “We are twins. The Ice Fire Sect’s predecessor was the Joyful Union Sect, and twins have a great… attraction for many male Cultivators! Father separated us to protect us!”
Shen Fan suddenly understood, “No wonder!”
Lu Mumu strangely examined Shen Fan from head to toe, “You rubbed my face as soon as we met. Is that how you usually treat my sister? Doesn’t she get angry?”
“Haha… She and I are like best buddies!”
Shen Fan told Lu Mumu all about his relationship and experiences with Lu Zhaozhao.
“Hehe! You two, aren’t you afraid of being discovered by your respective Sects!”
Lu Mumu showed a rare smile, then her gaze softened, filled with longing.
“Hearing you say that, Sister seems to be doing quite well. That puts my mind at ease!”
“Do you have anything you want to tell her? I can help you relay it next time I see her!”
Lu Mumu pondered for a moment, “Nothing much. Just tell her I’m doing well here too, and not to worry!”
“Okay, I’ll definitely relay it!”
Lu Mumu turned around and apologized, “I’m truly sorry for cutting off your hands!”
“It’s fine. I Cultivated a special Cultivation Technique that can regrow flesh and bone, so it can be restored as before. Don’t worry!”
Shen Fan said, lifting his hands.
At this time, although they were still too weak to move, a few fingers could still move.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. For this transaction, Revered Master specifically instructed me not to let others discover it, so I need to go back!”
Lu Mumu said, about to leave.
Shen Fan quickly called out to her, “Is Chun Nong Valley far from here?”
Lu Mumu didn’t know what Shen Fan meant, so she replied, “Not too far, half a day’s journey!”
“That’s excellent!”
Shen Fan was instantly delighted and quickly said, “Go back and tell your Revered Master if he still needs substitute death skulls. If he does, I still have some myself, about twenty thousand, see if he can take them all!”
“This…”
Lu Mumu nodded, “Okay! I’ll go back and ask for you! But how do I send you a message? Why don’t you stay here for now and wait for me to return!”
Shen Fan said, giving a whistle, and the Swift Wind Bird, which had grown to over a meter long, swooped down from the sky.
“Let the Swift Wind Bird follow you. If your Revered Master agrees, you can come back with the Spirit Stones and the Swift Wind Bird. If not, just let the Swift Wind Bird return alone!”
Lu Mumu looked at the Swift Wind Bird in surprise, saying enviously, “Is this your Spirit Beast? It feels like it has already reached the level of sentience!”
“Hehe! Is that so?”
Shen Fan didn’t answer, but instead stroked the Swift Wind Bird’s soft feathers, saying, “It’s quite obedient!”
“Alright then, I’ll be going!”
After Lu Mumu finished speaking, she summoned her flying Magical Artifact and transformed into a streak of light, quickly departing.
The Swift Wind Bird followed closely behind, disappearing from sight.
The Swift Wind Bird still needed some time to grow before it could carry a person, but it had already Awakened Spells and gained the ability to protect itself, occasionally even helping Shen Fan in battle.
...
...
Subsequently, Shen Fan returned to Su City and settled down again.
It was late into the night.
Shen Fan opened his eyes.
Inside the treasure gathering cosmos bowl, the Corpse King had fallen completely into a deep slumber.
About three-tenths of his Divine Soul had been absorbed.
Shen Fan’s originally damaged Divine Soul had completely recovered.
The Soul Water he had bought had long been used up.
Now, as he continuously absorbed the Corpse King’s Divine Soul, Shen Fan gained more of the Corpse King’s memories.
At the same time, his Divine Soul power was also strengthening.
“I must absorb this guy’s Divine Soul as quickly as possible, otherwise the treasure gathering cosmos bowl will remain unusable!”
Shen Fan thought to himself.
...
...
The next morning,
Shen Fan sensed that the Swift Wind Bird had returned.
Led by the Swift Wind Bird, Lu Mumu successfully found Shen Fan.
Seeing Lu Mumu, Shen Fan knew that this transaction should be successful.
“My Revered Master said, however many you have, he wants them all!”
“That’s great!”
Having goods but no channels was also a troublesome matter.
Although the other party said so, Shen Fan did not trade all of his stock at once.
Instead, he first traded twenty thousand.
For the rest, he would think of other ways.
Subsequently, Lu Mumu gave Shen Fan ten thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.
“High-Grade Spirit Stones? Not Low-Grade Spirit Stones?”
Hearing this grade, Shen Fan’s breathing suddenly quickened.
To be honest, he had never seen so much money in his life!
Lu Mumu chuckled, “substitute death skulls, according to market price, wild ones cost five thousand each, so twenty thousand would be one hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones. Where would I find so many for you?! So, any amount over ten thousand is almost always replaced by higher-grade Spirit Stones!”
“Mm! No problem!” Shen Fan waved his hand indifferently.
But for some reason, perhaps because he hadn’t seen much of the world, Shen Fan always felt that one hundred million Low-Grade Spirit Stones seemed like more and gave him a greater sense of security.
