Chapter 963: Deal

“Is this an exchange condition?”

In response to Wang Chen’s inquiry, Qin Qingxuan smiled lightly and said, “If Brother Wang thinks so, that is acceptable.”

Wang Chen fell silent.

Although this Yuhua Sword Sect disciple gave him a sense of feigned mystery, it was undeniable that from their first meeting to their reunion now, Qin Qingxuan had shown him a great deal of goodwill.

Even if she had her own motives, she spoke openly without playing mind games.

To be fair, Wang Chen held a favorable impression of Qin Qingxuan.

Even though he had no interest in traitors and would not serve as someone else’s pawn, if it was merely a trade…

“Alright!”

Wang Chen’s mind raced as he said, “I can help you deal with that monster after paying my respects, but you must first give me the secrets to the sixth level of the Bloodshed Wheel, and then the secrets to the seventh level after the task is completed.”

Qin Qingxuan’s slender hand reached down and, in an instant, she retrieved a roll of silk paper from under the table: “Deal.”

Wang Chen did not expect her to be so prepared with the techniques, and he felt quite impressed.

He couldn’t help but take the roll of silk paper and unfold it to take a glance.

Lines of tiny, densely-packed characters immediately filled Wang Chen’s vision.

Just one look, and Wang Chen could tell that what Qin Qingxuan provided was genuine, certainly not some trick.

To be honest, he felt a bit surreal about acquiring the sixth level of the Bloodshed Wheel so easily.

Could it be a buff from his recent surge in luck?

After being appointed as the Grand General of Demon Suppression, Wang Chen’s luck points had exceeded a hundred, reaching as high as 105 points.

Now, using the Qi Observation Technique to observe his own luck, he could see a column of azure energy rising above his head, indicating that his fate was quite different from before!

At that moment, Wang Chen’s heart stirred as he looked at Qin Qingxuan across from him.

He silently activated the Qi Observation Technique.

The next moment, a flash of red light suddenly filled his vision, bright and dazzling to the point of being hard to look at.

The column of luck above Qin Qingxuan’s head showed a vibrant red hue, very pure.

What was even more incredible was that a phoenix coiled around her column of luck, its wings folded and eyes closed, as if it were in deep slumber.

But as Wang Chen stared at the phoenix, it suddenly became aware, abruptly opening its pair of Phoenix eyes.

Wang Chen felt as if his eyes had been pricked by needles, nearly bringing him to tears!

The Qi Observation Technique then dissipated.

“Brother Wang?”

Qin Qingxuan noticed his unusual reaction and kindly asked, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

Wang Chen came back to his senses and performed a respectful salute to Qin Qingxuan: “Thank you, Miss Qin.”

This time, the other party truly rendered a great assistance!

Otherwise, Wang Chen would have no idea how many twists and turns he would have to endure to obtain the subsequent techniques of the Bloodshed Wheel.

“Brother Wang, you are too kind.”

Qin Qingxuan smiled gently, “We are merely fulfilling our mutual needs.”

Wang Chen nodded in acknowledgment.

As they conversed, the light canoe drifted closer to the opposite shore. Under the old boatman’s expert handling, it cut through the waves and docked smoothly beside a ferry.

Qin Qingxuan rose gracefully and bowed, “Brother Wang, the journey ahead spans thousands of miles, fraught with hardships. Take good care of yourself!”

Wang Chen returned the courtesy, “Miss Qin, until we meet again!”

He stepped ashore, took the reins of his yellow steed, and bid farewell to the Yuhua Sword Sect disciple before continuing along the official road.

However, after riding for about ten miles, Wang Chen suddenly veered his horse onto a side path, heading towards the distant, undulating mountains.

The yellow steed galloped swiftly, and soon Wang Chen arrived at a desolate forest area, surrounded by dense, verdant trees and towering peaks.

With no road ahead, he dismounted and led the yellow steed on foot, seeking a temporary resting place.

Wang Chen intended to challenge the sixth level of the Bloodshed Wheel right here!

He had already maximized his experience in the fifth level of this primary technique, and all he needed was the method to break through to the sixth level.

For this purpose, he had also amassed a sufficient number of potential points!

When Wang Chen bid farewell to Qin Qingxuan, her words were laden with meaning, clearly hinting at something significant.

Recalling the precise warnings she had given him during their first encounter, Wang Chen naturally paid heed to her advice.

The Yuhua Sword Sect disciple was exceptionally well-informed, and Wang Chen’s unresolved enmity with the Qianlong Society loomed large.

The journey ahead was likely fraught with grave dangers!

When faced with challenges and perils, Wang Chen never chose to flee; instead, he relished the opportunity to confront and overcome them.

Yet, the foundation for such challenges and conquests is strength!

Perhaps due to a stroke of good fortune, after a brief search through the forest, Wang Chen stumbled upon an abandoned hunter’s cabin.

This wooden house, nestled in the deep mountains, served as a temporary resting spot for hunters or herbalists, some of whom even stored wood and rice as provisions.

However, the hunter’s cabin Wang Chen discovered was empty, devoid of any supplies, with the floor littered with decayed branches and an unpleasant odor lingering in the air.

Undeterred, Wang Chen tied the yellow steed beside the cabin, fetched fresh water and high-quality feed from his storage space, and fed the horse generously. He then scattered insect and mosquito repellent around the area.

Next, Wang Chen tidied up the interior of the cabin, setting up a military bed along with a table and chairs.

As the forest grew dim, Wang Chen lit a candle.

Under its flickering light, he meticulously studied the secrets of the sixth level of the Bloodshed Wheel.

The long night passed quietly.

The next morning, as sunlight filtered through the treetops and illuminated the cabin door, Wang Chen, seated on the military bed, quietly opened his eyes.

He had not slept that night, engrossed in contemplating the breakthrough methods for the sixth level of the Bloodshed Wheel.

He had gained profound insights.

Yet, Wang Chen was in no rush. Despite having potential points at his disposal and the need to reach the imperial capital within a set timeframe, he methodically repeated the techniques step by step.

One day, two days, three days…

On the fourth morning, Wang Chen finally concluded his contemplation and simulations.

He first fed the yellow steed generously, then left a large basin of high-quality feed and fresh water in the cabin before leading the horse inside to settle it.

“Old friend,”

Wang Chen patted the yellow steed’s head and said, “It’s a bit unfortunate for you to stay here for now, but I’ll be back soon!”

The yellow steed snorted, leaned in, and licked his face, displaying remarkable intelligence.

Wang Chen chuckled, exited the cabin, and closed the door.

In the next moment, he activated his movement techniques and swiftly headed towards the nearby peaks.

After three days and nights of preparation, the time for his breakthrough had arrived; Wang Chen needed a secure location to achieve it.

When he returned, it would be to a brand new world!
