Chapter 753: Chapter 208: Cleverly Breaking the Situation, Infuriating Nan Batian (10,000 Words, Please Subscribe)_6

”Unless your strength is great enough to kill this Mirage, then this enormous Tai Sui would be your best trophy.”

”Otherwise, there is no meaning, and I presume that fewer and fewer people will enter the Medicine King Treasure in the future.”

The crowd left, and at this time on the second floor.

Chen Jie, Ba Tan, and Nan Batian were all transported to different locations.

And what was even more surprising was that the second floor was really too large, so large that it was practically a forest.

This gave Chen Jie a very unreal feeling.

What was going on, how could such a small building contain such a huge area?

Thinking this, the voice of the old Taoist echoed through the air again, ”The three of you, congratulations on reaching the second floor. There are some nice herbs here, and if you recognize them, feel free to pick them. However, this is not your main objective. Your main goal is to find the stairs to the third floor.”

”And I can tell you that the staircase is located in the deepest part of the deep forest. You may come to search for it.”

”But only one person can ascend the staircase, and this person will receive the inheritance of my Chang Chun Valley.”

...

”Uh huh!”

Hearing this, the eyes of the three randomly transported individuals lit up, the inheritance of Chang Chun Valley.

That was indeed a treasure. Who didn’t know that, in the past, Chang Chun Valley was a top sect in Jianghu? If one could receive the inheritance of such a great sect, whether it was in terms of Martial Arts insights or foundational resources, everything would increase manifold. It was practically a pie falling from the sky.

Thinking this, a sense of ambition emerged in their eyes.

Who could lack ambition?

Ba Tan thought that, with the inheritance of Chang Chun Valley, he might advance further, possibly becoming the Magistrate of Huangzhou Prefecture, or even a higher position, becoming an influential figure in the eyes of King Qi.

And Nan Batian was even more direct. If he could become the successor of Chang Chun Valley, he would receive power to climb even higher, and he could even kill Chen Jiusi.

He now desperately wanted to kill Chen Jiusi—it had even become a kind of obsession.

He was somewhat obsessed.

Not killing Chen Jiusi, he could not rest, and not killing Chen Jiusi, he would die with regret!

Obsession—that was a deep obsession.

As for Chen Jie, he was also very interested in the inheritance of Chang Chun Valley at this moment, and he was even interested in the person speaking. After all, he actually had a connection with Chang Chun Valley.

After all, the Yang Chun Skill was something he had inherited from his grandfather.

Moreover, Chang Chun Valley was famous for its Elixirs. If Chen Jie could receive the inheritance, then in the future, wouldn’t he be able to obtain many Elixir recipes, even top-quality Elixirs? Wouldn’t his path to advancement skyrocket?

With these thoughts, Chen Jie’s eyes sparkled.

Chen Jie got up, found a large tree, quickly climbed up, and then looked around to ascertain his position. He was currently in the northwest part of the deep forest, so he needed to head southeast to approach the center.

After determining his direction, Chen Jie jumped down from the tall tree and accelerated towards the central area.

Meanwhile, in a forest to the east, Nan Batian also figured out his direction and started heading towards the center.

So did Ba Tan.

On the third floor, Peng Yingyu was fiddling with the Buddha beads in his hand, looking at the mirror showing the three men running towards the central area, and said, ”Senior, what is this?”

The old Taoist answered, ”To become the successor of Chang Chun Valley, intelligence alone is not enough; one must also possess Martial Power.”

Monk Peng asked, ”Are you suggesting that these three should fight each other violently? And the winner receives the inheritance?”

The old Taoist replied, ”They don’t have to kill each other. As long as two are willing to give up this opportunity, it will suffice.”

Monk Peng said, ”Senior, isn’t this just like raising gu?”

”Heh, right.”

The old Taoist said, ”Survival of the fittest is the natural law, ’The Heaven is not benevolent, and it regards all things as straw dogs’...”

Monk Peng tentatively asked, ”Senior, are you still betting?”

The old Taoist questioned, ”Bet? Bet on what?”

Monk Peng said, ”Bet that my old friend will come out on top, ascend to this third floor, and accept your inheritance?”

”Him, against two?”

The old Taoist was not very convinced. Monk Peng asked, ”Bet or not?”

”Bet on what?”

This question stumped Peng Yingyu; he didn’t have anything special he wanted apart from the Enlightenment Pills.

But he still wanted to bet with the old Taoist, betting that Chen Jiusi, whom he favored, would win.

What to bet, then?

After thinking for a long time, Peng Yingyu said, ”Let’s bet on a simple win or loss.”

The old Taoist, taken aback, looked at Peng Yingyu. Peng Yingyu said, ”If I win, you have to say something to my face, and if you lose, vice versa. Sounds good?”

The old Taoist replied, ”Humph, I won’t lose, but I’ll take your bet!”

Peng Yingyu smiled and said, ”Heh, although a monk usually has poor luck in betting, this time, I will surely beat you!”

”Alright, it’s a bet!”

The two looked at each other, starting a contest of spirits, where masters often fight over a single sentence for a lifetime.

Although it was just a simple bet on winning or losing, the issue of winning or losing was a matter of face.

With this in mind, both of them stared intently at the screen inside to see which of the three would emerge as the ultimate victor.

At this moment, in the forest, Nan Batian was running wildly when he suddenly saw a familiar figure ahead—it was Ba Tan, who stopped and looked at Nan Batian and said, ”Nan Batian, are you also competing for the inheritance?”

Nan Batian immediately halted and responded, ”My Lord, I have no such intention.”

”What then are you rushing to the central location for?”

Nan Batian bowed and said, ”I, I wish to make a deal with my Lord.”

Ba Tan slightly frowned and asked, ”A deal?”

Nan Batian replied, ”My Lord, my meridians are damaged, and I know you have medicine that can repair meridians. Could you give it to me? After repairing my meridians and entering the Holding Core Realm, I will have the combat power.”

”Then, together, we can deal with Chen Jiusi, ensuring he has nowhere to be buried. Afterwards, I will willingly hand over the inheritance to you, Lord. What do you think?”

Hearing this, Ba Tan slightly wrinkled his brow, considering that it made sense. He had a life-and-death grudge with Chen Jiusi, and with his help, he would indeed save a lot of effort.

So he said, ”Alright, I’ll give you the medicine to repair your meridians. Let’s deal with Chen Jiusi together.”

”Yes, thank you, my Lord!”
