Chapter 0070 – Subtle Differences – Absolute Returns

In the past, whenever I asked him for the artifact, his hands would tremble. But today, he seems very calm. Could it be that he has already seen through the red dust and the four great emptiness?

A few moments later, the men brought the wine and food.

“Today, let’s have a drink.” Ling Paisu said.

“Good.” I agreed.

“Cheers.”

I took the glass, clinked it with him, and drank it all. Of course, I had already taken the “anti-poison wine” in my mouth.

“I’m happy to see you trust me so much.” Ling Paisu said with a smile.

I didn’t spit out the “poisoned wine” so as not to spoil his fun.

Just then, Ling Paisu suddenly asked:

“You wouldn’t, by any chance, have the ‘Wine to Avoid Poison’ in your mouth, would you?”

I knew that it must have been the man in shackles, who had transmitted the voice to tell him. He really wasn’t an ordinary person.

“Yes.” I admitted frankly.

I spit out the poisoned wine.

“Jesus! When did you contain it?” Ling Paisu asked in surprise.

“When the drinks are served.” I replied.

“I can’t believe I didn’t realize that?” Ling Paisu was even more surprised.

“I’ve practiced many times.” I said with a smile.

“You even went so far as to mix ‘poison avoidance wine’ …… with my wine You’ve gone too far!” Ling Paisu said in dissatisfaction.

“As I said before, between us, there is no friendship. The word ‘friend’, doesn’t apply to us.” I said.

“Didn’t you come here today just to take my artifact? And still say such things?” Ling Paisu said without any good humor.

“In this chaotic world, if you want to establish a true friendship, you can’t rely on a few artifacts, and you’ll be able to solve it.” I said.

“You mean, between us, there is only naked interest?” Ling Paisu asked.

“Instead of building a nebulous friendship, let’s be honest and get what we need.” I said.

“You are so eloquent, like ……,” said Ling Paisu.

“Like who?” I asked.

“Nothing.” Ling Paisu shook her head and said.

I knew that he meant, the man in shackles.

Ling Paisu stood up and said, “Alright, don’t drink, let’s go and choose a divine artifact. Hurry up and go choose it.”

“Many thanks to Sect Leader Ling.”

I walked over to the Sound and Thunder Bell and said, “I want to see the Sound and Thunder Bell again, I just can’t get enough of it.”

Actually, I was looking for an excuse to approach the man in shackles.

I admired the Sonic Thunder Bell while sneaking a look at the man. He had his head lowered, as motionless as a stone statue.

“Why are you helping me?” I said in my mind.

He obviously could have transmitted his voice to me, but he didn’t do so, and this is something that I appreciate. He is a trustworthy person.

“Will I have the opportunity, to talk to him? What will be the fate between us?”

I withdrew my gaze and walked over to the shelf where the artifacts were placed.

I pretended to pick carefully, but in fact, I had already decided which artifact I would take.

“I’ll take this one.”

I pointed to one, wrapped in a thick cloth, and said.

Ling Paisu’s face was suddenly gloomy. Although he didn’t speak, his expression was as if he was roaring in anger:

“Damn! Asshole! Why do you pick all the good stuff to take?”

“Do you know what this is?” Ling Paisu asked.

Of course I knew, but I pretended not to.

“I don’t know, I just think that the cloth, it looks mysterious.” I said.

“This is ……”

Ling Paisu took a deep breath, forced down the anger in her heart, and explained:

“This is the very best quality Heavenly Silkworm Silk, it’s invulnerable to swords and spears, water and fire, and even if you slash it with a sword, you won’t be able to stop it. It is said that as long as it is wrapped around the body, it can withstand attacks from sword qi and sword dangles. It can also withstand severe cold and is not afraid of fire. In this world, there are only a handful of weapons that can cut it off without the aid of sword qi and sword diang.”

The Black Devil Sword at my waist is one of them.

“I’m so poorly informed that I didn’t recognize that this was such a precious treasure.” I said.

“If you don’t recognize it, why did you pick it? What on earth do you want!” Ling Paisu couldn’t help but ask.

“Sorry.” I said.

Ling Paisu’s face was full of reluctance as he let out a long sigh and handed the piece of Extreme Heavenly Silkworm Silk, to me. His hand, slightly trembled.

“I hope you make good use of it.”

“I will, thank you Sect Leader Ling.”

I grabbed the piece of Extreme Heavenly Silk from his hands.

In my heart, towards Ling Paisu, I was filled with gratitude. Although he was unwilling to part with it in his heart, he kept his promise and gave me the artifact.

Though I received far more in return than I gave, I took it with peace of mind. Because I intend, to help him realize his dream.

“I will never forget the favor that Sect Leader Ling has shown me.” I said.

Ling Paisu, however, was still full of reluctance.

I saw that the man in shackles was looking at me. Ling Paisu was so reluctant to give up, yet she still gave me the divine artifact, it must be because of that man. Whether it was the Blood God Pill from before, or the current Extreme Heavenly Silkworm Silk, it was because of that man that I was able to obtain them so easily.

With my eyes, I showed the man, my gratitude.

The man seemed to understand what I meant, and he slowly lowered his head, turning into a stone statue once again.

After returning to my place, I couldn’t wait to take out the piece of Extreme Heavenly Silk.

I cut it so that I could wrap it around my wrist three times.

Although I could cut it without using the Black Magic Sword, I used it and carefully cut it to perfection.

Although it was just an ordinary piece of cloth in front of the Black Demon Sword and the Heavenly Demon Sword, it was indestructible in front of other weapons.

I wrapped it above my left wrist, three times.

This way, no matter what accidents happen, my left hand, will not be cut off. Right now, it’s enough for me to protect my left hand only, and my right hand is protected by the Black Demon Sword. This was the advantage of the Extreme Heavenly Silkworm Silk, it could focus its power to protect the most crucial parts, and it was more practical than any body protection magic treasure.

I took the rest of the Extreme Heavenly Silkworm Silk and wrapped it around the hilt of the Black Demon Sword, just in case.

I just hope that I never have to use it. Because if I do, it means that I’m in danger. Or rather, I’m in hell.
