"All three are Primordial Sacred Objects from the Eternal Love series?" Qi Suian’s expression was a little peculiar.
He had easily killed the target and obtained the Primordial Sacred Objects that Fan Fengfei wanted.
’So, adding them to the three I already have, am I supposed to trade them away?’
’Or am I supposed to steal the other Eternal Love series Sacred Objects from Fan Fengfei?’
For a moment, Qi Suian wasn’t sure what to make of it.
First of all, the Eternal Love series Sacred Objects were of very limited use to him now.
The simplest reason was that their effect after being assembled no longer met his needs at all.
They couldn’t be integrated with the Tai Sui God, so he ultimately had to give up on them.
As for researching them, he already had a foundation from the first three, so his analysis of the three new ones was completed quickly.
It only took half an hour. After all, they were from the same series, and Qi Suian already had a baseline, so his progress was extremely fast.
As the number he possessed increased, their value to him diminished.
’I should be able to get them all, I think.’
’But the problem is... the Eternal Love series Sacred Objects are useless to me.’
’If I steal them, I’ll probably just toss them into the Melting Furnace as fuel.’
’But then again, what does that old hag Fan Fengfei want with this stuff?’
Qi Suian discovered a blind spot. Setting aside how she knew the whereabouts of these three Sacred Objects, their effects were definitely not for anything wholesome.
’Could she be planning to use them on someone? For example... the protagonist?’ Qi Suian quickly locked onto this possibility.
The possibility was quite high. It wasn’t exactly rare for an older woman to go after a younger man.
Not to mention she was an 80-year-old "baby" whose appearance completely belied her age.
If Qi Suian hadn’t known her age, and if this were before the apocalypse, it would have been impossible to say he wouldn’t have had some ideas.
So it wasn’t out of the question for her to have a passionate, earth-shattering affair with some "survivor protagonist."
Anyway, as long as someone was good-looking, age could be ignored.
As for the current Qi Suian, aside from studying, researching, getting stronger, and surviving, his desires in other areas were low enough to be negligible.
Lust follows a full stomach. He could barely stay alive; where would he find the energy for such thoughts?
’You know, the possibility is actually quite high.’
"Wait, doesn’t that mean I have another piece of leverage against Fan Fengfei?" Qi Suian narrowed his eyes. "But if she really manages to assemble a Destructive Sacred Object..."
"Wouldn’t the doomsday game have to switch worlds again?"
For a moment, Qi Suian was uncertain.
After all, information related to Destructive Sacred Objects had been sealed and destroyed by the two nations using other Sacred Objects, so Qi Suian had no way to gather any.
So right now, his knowledge about Destructive Sacred Objects was limited to a few common facts.
’Whatever. I’ll get my payment first and worry about it later.’
He’d think about stealing from her later. In any case, without the three Primordial Sacred Objects he possessed, she definitely couldn’t assemble the Destructive Sacred Object.
If he ever truly wanted to wipe out all the survivors, he could just steal the parts back from her and assemble it himself.
It was just that a Destructive Sacred Object was not a good thing, and Qi Suian didn’t really want to touch it.
As he mulled this over, he headed toward the Dragon Whale Sect’s location.
He soon arrived at the palace where he had been received before. Fan Fengfei was already waiting.
For her, this matter had to be foolproof.
The moment Qi Suian arrived, he tossed the three Sacred Objects directly onto the table.
"Take a look. Is this what you wanted?" Qi Suian sat down and said bluntly.
Fan Fengfei unhurriedly picked up the three Sacred Objects. She inspected each one before placing it into her inventory.
"It’s what I wanted." Fan Fengfei had checked them directly through the doomsday game’s panel.
In her view, the doomsday game was a powerful entity; how could Qi Suian possibly deceive it?
"Come with me." Fan Fengfei didn’t back out of the deal just because she had the items. Instead, she stood up and led Qi Suian deeper inside.
Qi Suian followed behind her as she began to explain the origins of the Dragon Whale Sect and its Divine Intent.
"In the past, Ancestor Dragon Whale traveled across the seas to cultivate, seeking to break through the limits of Divine Intent."
"In the depths of the ocean, he chanced upon a battle between a dragon and a whale. Inspired by the sight, he comprehended the Dragon Whale Divine Intent."
"That is how our Dragon Whale Sect came to be."
"Since Your Excellency has learned the Dragon Whale Divine Intent, you should naturally be an honored guardian of my Dragon Whale Sect. Of course, if you are unwilling, you may take on an honorary title instead."
Fan Fengfei said her piece, but Qi Suian acted as if he hadn’t heard a thing.
Soon, they arrived at a secret chamber.
Inside lay a massive hide from an exotic beast, covered with strange scales.
"This is the original manuscript of the *Dragon Whale World Suppression Skill*," Fan Fengfei explained. "Its contents are recorded on the hide and scales."
"Read horizontally, it is the *Cloud Dragon Celestial Patrol Skill*. Read vertically, it is the *Giant Whale Sea Domination Skill*."
Qi Suian narrowed his eyes as his bio-computer rapidly calculated. The three Quenching Methods were quickly deciphered and recorded.
But it wasn’t over. The bio-computer was still calculating.
It seemed there was another Quenching Method hidden within.
It was just hidden rather deep. If not for his language and text modules, he might not have noticed it at all.
Seeing Qi Suian fall silent, Fan Fengfei didn’t ask any questions and simply watched him quietly.
Before long, the bio-computer quickly derived a fourth Quenching Method, named the *Celestial Patrol and Sea Domination Skill*.
Yet this wasn’t the limit. It seemed a fifth Quenching Method was hidden as well, but it was much more difficult and required further analysis.
Qi Suian, however, was thinking about how to take this beast hide for himself.
The red dot on the Treasure Map of the Lost was this very beast hide.
"There’s another Quenching Method in here," Qi Suian said, his expression impassive.
This caused Fan Fengfei’s expression to change slightly.
Her master had told her back then that there was indeed another, but no one had ever been able to discern it.
"What do you want?" Fan Fengfei asked calmly. She absolutely could not let him see any hint of her reaction now.
"I want this." Qi Suian didn’t hesitate. "Give it to me, and I’ll give you the fourth Quenching Method."
"Impossible," Fan Fengfei refused immediately.
If she didn’t give it to him, she could try to decipher it slowly herself. If she gave it away, the source would be gone forever.
She could let Qi Suian make a copy, but she would never let him take the original.
A massive Dragon Whale manifested, carrying with it the might of a starry sea.
This wasn’t the Dragon Whale Divine Intent, but the evolved World Suppression Divine Intent.
Qi Suian felt like a lone boat in a raging storm, completely losing his sense of self.
The Evil Dragon and Evil Tiger appeared, but her Divine Intent didn’t even have to act; its sheer pressure crushed the Tai Sui God’s Martial Dao will.
The gap between them was simply too vast.
At the same time, the shield on the Tai Sui God shattered, and its body began to CREAK and GROAN.
This was Fan Fengfei’s warning to Qi Suian, making him understand the difference in their strength.
Just because she was calm and collected didn’t mean she was a pushover.
Qi Suian, however, unhurriedly tossed out the Mutual Aid Necklace.
This caused the momentum of Fan Fengfei’s Divine Intent to falter.
It was another one of the Eternal Love series Sacred Objects she needed.
"I’ll add another Primordial Sacred Object from the Eternal Love series."
"I want the original," Qi Suian further raised his price.
’So the three I collected really were meant for a trade after all.’ Otherwise, with Fan Fengfei’s power, it would have been incredibly difficult for Qi Suian to snatch this beast hide away.
"Not enough. This is a legacy artifact of my Dragon Whale Sect." Fan Fengfei was starting to yield.
Hearing this, Qi Suian spoke again, "I’ll add one last Primordial Sacred Object from the Eternal Love series."
"If that works, we have a deal. If not, I don’t want it anymore. I’ll just leave after I’m done looking."
"Of course, you could also choose to kill me and see if you can get these two Primordial Sacred Objects to drop from the pile of junk in my inventory."
"But I’d say you’re probably not that lucky."
"Once you fail to obtain them, they’ll be reclaimed by the doomsday game, and you’ll never be able to gather the remaining Primordial Sacred Objects," Qi Suian bluffed without skipping a beat.
This made Fan Fengfei’s face darken.
It had come to this. She could either agree or refuse.
Agreeing would mean a loss she had to consider, but refusing meant her plan would likely be completely ruined.
All her planning and sacrifices would be for nothing.
Faced with Qi Suian’s threats and strong-arm tactics, Fan Fengfei naturally gnashed her teeth in hatred.
In the end, she could only nod. "Fine."
"A straight trade."
"I can give you the *Celestial Patrol and Sea Domination Skill* first. This Quenching Method is a transitional technique for concurrently cultivating the Cloud Dragon and Giant Whale to achieve the Dragon Whale, allowing you to..." As Qi Suian spoke, he recited its contents.
After he finished speaking, he reached for the beast hide.
However, Fan Fengfei blocked him.
"Where’s the item?" she asked, eager to get her hands on the Eternal Love series Primordial Sacred Object Qi Suian had.
"I’ve already delivered my part of the bargain twice. If I hand over the final piece now, I’m afraid you’ll kill me."
"I’ll take the hide first. Have your disciple escort me out of Longjing City, and then I’ll give you the items." Qi Suian had naturally thought this through.
Fan Fengfei slowly released her hand, allowing Qi Suian to take the hide.
"Fine. But if you dare deceive me, it won’t just be the Eternal United States and the Xuan Empire hunting you down. The Dragon Whale Sect won’t let you go either." Fan Fengfei didn’t have any good way to control Qi Suian.
Besides, she couldn’t kill him; there was no guarantee the items would drop.
"When have I ever deceived you? Our transaction has been going quite smoothly, hasn’t it?" Qi Suian said with a grin.
’Once I’ve maxed out my Divine Intent cultivation, however much Fan Fengfei took from me, she’ll have to spit it all back out.’
’Does she really think I’m some kind of good person?’
’My "honesty" and "trustworthiness" are all just lip service.’
’I’m only choosing to cooperate because my strength is inferior.’
’Once I’m strong enough, I definitely won’t let this go.’
Fan Fengfei thought about Qi Suian’s behavior. Aside from his arrogance and aggression, he hadn’t actually done anything out of line, so she decided to trust him.
"Wait, I have one more condition."
"I need information on the doomsday game and the Doomsday World."
"As a senior, I trust you won’t be stingy." Fan Fengfei raised the price, indicating she wanted more.
