Chapter 555 Scroll Trading

"One scroll contains one hundred thousand spirit stones!?"

Zhou Yiqiao said in surprise when he heard Senior Brother Xuanya's bid.

Although he didn't know what material the scroll was made of, he knew from the appearance and quality of the scroll that it was definitely worth more than 100,000 spirit stones.

Even the most stupid monk can see at this time that senior brother Xuanya does not want Zhou Yiqiao to have a causal connection with him.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yiqiao cupped his fists with both hands and bowed sincerely to the other party.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xuanya!"

Xuan Ya smiled and waved his hand.

"I have already said that I will accept your spirit stones and deal fairly. Junior brother is so polite. You are really out of touch."

After saying that, he seemed to not want to dwell on this topic with Zhou Yiqiao anymore, so he asked instead.

"Junior brother, what are your plans for the future? Do you want to be a coward in this ruthless prison like senior brother?"

"After all, except for the last floor of the Merciless Prison, which we cannot enter, the pseudo-monks in the remaining floors are endless resources for us."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he smiled and shook his head.

"Senior brother, I understand your good intentions. However, I have a new goal. Please forgive me, senior brother."

When Xuan Ya heard this, he raised his eyebrows and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Junior brother, what do you mean by this?"

"These pseudo-Taoist monks in the Merciless Prison are indeed excellent cultivation resources."

"But junior brother knows that he is not good at learning. If he stays in this ruthless prison for a long time, he will only increase his cultivation level in vain, but neglect the means to deal with the enemy."

"So, junior brother decided to take advantage of this opportunity to go to the sect's recently discovered spiritual stone deposit to practice."

Xuan Ya was very surprised.

"I have also heard about Senior Brother Zhan over there at the Lingshi Mine."

"I heard that our sect has almost reached an eternal battle with that Motuo Mountain. Junior Brother's trip this time is like a sheep entering a tiger's den."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly when he heard this.

"Senior brother, you are worrying too much."

"Junior brother comes from Yanzhou and has always known the cruelty of war. Naturally, he will not die in vain."

"Junior brother, I want to find a position in alchemy. I will give priority to accumulating resources. When I have some spare energy, I will consider robbing others of their Tao Yun."

Zhou Yiqiao's words were not a flash of inspiration, but a reasonable decision based on his experiences over the years.

Since he advanced to Nascent Soul, he has dealt with too many things in a short period of time, and instead put the most important practice tasks at the back of the queue.

It's not like he hasn't tried to adjust to this top-heavy situation, but every time he gets better, he gets bogged down by complicated affairs again.

What's even more fatal is that these trivial matters are either related to the income of spiritual stones or the collection of spiritual materials used for practice.

Even if Zhou Yiqiao knew that these matters took up most of his practice time, he could not make up his mind to completely suspend these matters.

Therefore, instead of continuing to stay in Ten Thousand Bones Mountain or the Netherworld Demon Sect, he will inevitably need to deal with one thing after another.

It would be better to take advantage of this opportunity, take the initiative to jump out of this endless cycle, and change your practice environment.

"Senior brother, I won't advise you. Junior brother, just have your own ideas."

Xuan Ya looked at Zhou Yiqiao approvingly, obviously pleased that Zhou Yiqiao still insisted on his idea.

"In that case, when do you plan to leave, junior brother?"

"The sooner the better."

Zhou Yiqiao heard this and immediately replied.

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao in such a hurry, Xuan Ya was caught off guard.

"Junior brother is so urgent. I don't know if the number of scrolls here is enough for your needs, junior brother."

Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyebrows and said bluntly.

"Junior brother is going to the Lingshi Mine this time. Even I am not sure of the specific return date. As for the demand for this scroll, I naturally hope that the more the better."

Xuan Ya shrugged noncommittally, rubbed his chin and thought for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yiqiao Road.

"Senior Brother, you need to keep some of it yourself for your practice. Naturally, it is impossible to trade all of it to Junior Brother."

"But since junior brother has been here for many years, senior brother, I can't let you be unprepared. Let's do this. Senior brother, I will give you a hundred scrolls first. Junior brother, what do you think?"

"One hundred?"

Zhou Yiqiao's eyes lit up when he heard this.

One hundred scrolls meant that at least one hundred Yuanying realm monks had to fall into his hands before Zhou Yiqiao could completely consume them.

This has been useful for a long time for Zhou Yiqiao who does not intend to risk his life.

"Senior brother, I am quick to speak, and I am not pretentious, junior brother."

Zhou Yiqiao cupped his hands towards Xuan Ya, then took out a thousand spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to him.

"These are a thousand high-grade spiritual stones, senior brother, keep them!"

"You don't need so many high-grade spiritual stones."

Xuan Ya waved his hand repeatedly, not willing to accept it.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao pretended to be angry.

"Senior brother can teach me how to practice as a demon infant. This kindness is equivalent to reincarnation. It is also appropriate for junior brother to give you more spiritual stones."

Zhou Yiqiao actually has his own little thoughts.

He naturally hopes to continue to maintain a good relationship with Xuan Ya, a person with such useful connections.

Although Xuan Ya is already in the realm of refining the void, he must not look down on the petty gain of these thousand high-grade spiritual stones.

But as long as he leaves a good impression on the other party, Zhou Yiqiao is not afraid that the other party will refuse to help when he needs it again in the future.

"This, okay!"

The two were in a stalemate for a moment, and Xuan Ya finally relented. After accepting the spirit stone, he said with a smile.

"In that case, Junior Brother, please wait a moment while Senior Brother goes to get the scroll."

After saying that, Xuan Ya left in a hurry. Zhou Yiqiao stayed there and waited for a stick of incense, then saw Xuan Ya coming back with a small storage bag in his hand.

"Junior brother, inside are a hundred scrolls and a jade flute used to rectify the body and purify the mind."

"Although this jade flute does not have the heaven-defying effect of exorcising inner demons, my junior brother often plays it on weekdays, and it can still achieve the effect of purifying the mind."

Xuan Ya said, stuffing the entire storage bag into Zhou Yiqiao's hands without any explanation.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Zhou Yiqiao thanked him gratefully, put the storage bag on his waist in front of Xuan Ya, and said goodbye.

Xuan Ya watched Zhou Yiqiao's figure completely melt into the darkness of the Merciless Prison. The smile on his face gradually dissipated, replaced by a solemn look.

"Brother Song, Brother Song, maybe Junior Brother Zhou can walk through the road that the two of us can't finish!"

As he spoke, he twitched the corners of his mouth and showed an ugly smile.

"I forgot. Brother Song, you don't like to see me with such a sad look on my face."

He laughed to himself as if talking to himself.

He immediately shook his head and returned to his cave.

With a dull sound, the door of the cave closed completely, and Xuan Ya once again fell into a lonely path of seeking the truth.
