Chapter 365 The Genius's Method of Extortion
"Don't attack! I have spirit crystals!"
Helian Yingjie sensed Ye Kang's killing intent and lost all composure, roaring wildly.
Ye Kang's lips curled into a smile: "How much?"
"I have as many as you want! Just let me go!"
Why should I believe you?
Ye Kang's tone was chilling as he placed the Azure Blade against Helian Yingjie's neck.
The latter's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly said, "My father is the vice leader of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, I have no shortage of spirit crystals! As long as you spare me, I am willing to swear on my Dao heart and offer 100,000 spirit crystals!"
"Interesting. Since you have no shortage of spirit crystals, what are you doing here?"
"I only wanted to win people's hearts and recruit more subordinates. There was discord within the Loose Cultivator Alliance, and I had no choice but to do this."
Helian Yingjie spoke sincerely, even going so far as to swear an oath on his Daoist principles.
However, Ye Kang still waved his hand and forced Helian Yingjie to open his mouth, then stuffed a black pill into it.
Helian Yingjie broke out in a cold sweat: "What did you feed me?!"
Ye Kang smiled slightly: "It's just a little bit of poison. Don't worry, it won't kill you."
"How could you be so vicious!"
Helian Yingjie was dumbfounded. He could feel that the poison evaporated immediately upon entering his body and spread throughout his meridians.
No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find a single trace.
A poison with such high concealment must be an extremely rare and deadly poison!
Ye Kang did not deny it, but just smiled and said, "After all, I don't trust you. As long as you give me the spirit crystal, I will naturally cure your poison."
"really?"
Helian Yingjie gritted his teeth, thinking to himself that he had failed today.
His original plan was to appease this guy first, and then, after returning home, gather his father and brothers and kill him directly. He would then bury 100,000 spirit crystals on his grave, which would not be considered a breach of his oath.
But to my surprise, this bastard poisoned me!
Helian Yingjie's face was ashen.
Ye Kang said, "Don't look at me like that. It's your fault for wanting to kill me. In a while, I will post a task on the Linglong Chamber of Commerce to collect 100,000 spirit crystals. Just give the spirit crystals to the Chamber of Commerce. By the way, please also pay the Chamber of Commerce's share. The reward for the collection task is the antidote."
Ye Kang spoke earnestly, leaving Helian Yingjie completely dumbfounded.
Good guy!
What kind of ingenious extortion method is this?!
They actually used the Linglong Chamber of Commerce as a transit point!
Collect 100,000 spirit crystals... Is this a collection task that even a human could come up with?!
Helian Yingjie gritted his teeth and whispered, "How do I know you're not lying to me..."
Ye Kang turned to look at him: "Do you have a choice? After all, you made a vow of Dao Heart. As long as you don't give me the spirit crystals, you won't be able to cultivate for a single day."
After Ye Kang finished speaking, he reached out and took Helian Yingjie's storage bag, then ignored him and flew away.
Helian Yingjie stood on the sea, his face alternating between black and white.
After coming out, the two henchmen I finally found were dead, my storage bag was gone, and I was left with a huge debt of 100,000. Damn it, how can a person be so unlucky!
……
Ye Kang quickly flew back to the deserted island.
The beach remained unchanged; the rogue cultivators brought by Helian Yingjie had long since vanished.
Ye Kang burned the bodies of the bald man and the bearded man, and took out three storage bags.
"I never expected that storage bags would keep coming one after another. I really didn't want them."
Ye Kang sighed and a sad smile appeared on his face.
He opened the storage bags of the bald man and the bearded man, and found all kinds of martial arts techniques and a total of ten thousand spirit crystals!
No wonder he followed Helian Yingjie; he's definitely richer than Qi Laosan.
Ye Kang then opened Helian Yingjie's storage bag. This guy was not dead, so the true qi restriction was more difficult to break, but Ye Kang was proficient in formations and successfully opened it after a little more effort.
This kid's storage bag is obviously much more advanced, with a huge pile of spirit crystals, worth more than 60,000!
A wave of fat!
That's equivalent to selling a whole Azure Sea Golden Locust. No wonder this kid doesn't seem to care about spirit crystals at all; I didn't expect him to have so much pocket money.
and many more!
In that case, is 100,000 spirit crystals too little?
Ye Kang shook his head, dispelling the thought. If the amount was small, the other party wouldn't care and would naturally give it obediently. If he asked for too much, he would force the other party to act desperately, which would not be good.
After taking the spirit crystal, Ye Kang looked at the other items.
There are also many precious plants and minerals, all of which are useful; I'll take them all.
His martial arts level was much higher than that of other rogue cultivators, but it was still a notch below his own.
To everyone's surprise, Helian Yingjie also had a jade slip containing cultivation techniques!
【Ding】
[The ultimate lotus-growing method has been recorded: Jade Record]
[Jade Record: Treat your body like jade, meticulously crafting and polishing your flesh and blood to perfection, merging with heaven and earth. With a wave of your hand, you can summon wind and rain, and draw thunder. Being in harmony with nature, you can learn martial arts with twice the results with half the effort.]
[The Furnace of Myriad Laws Reminder: The Jade Record can be fused with the Supreme Heaven-Reaching Technique; refining it requires Spirit Crystal Jade Marrow]
"nice one!"
Ye Kang exclaimed that he had struck gold. With such a top-tier inheritance and such wealth, Helian Yingjie still shamelessly called himself a rogue cultivator.
He's considered a rogue cultivator, but what about the others? Paramecium?
This alliance of rogue cultivators is nothing more than a new force created by the Helian family and others; the alliance's resources still end up in their pockets.
Ye Kang did not hesitate and regarded the Jade Record as his last fusion technique.
"With this, the Nine Gates Fusion Technique is complete. Next, we just need to find the spiritual materials that each of them needs to refine."
"The Yin-Yang items are easy to obtain; we can buy them when we get back. But the Azure Qi and Spirit Crystal Jade Marrow are not easy to come by..."
Ye Kang gave a wry smile.
There's no other way; to pursue the strongest, one must endure the difficulty of seeking spiritual objects.
He maintained his consistent strength of not getting caught up in things.
In short, try your best first. If you can't find one, switch to something simpler, but you'll have to sacrifice a little bit of your potential.
Besides spirit crystals and secret manuals, Helian Yingjie's storage bag contained many other interesting items.
For example, some top-grade ores, some correspondence and jade slips, and even some inside information about the loose cultivator alliance.
Ye Kang casually flipped through the pages and found evidence of collusion between the alliance's higher and middle levels, who bullied ordinary cultivators.
Even though it doesn't concern me, I'll keep it all; it might come in handy someday.
As Ye Kang flipped through the pages, he saw something familiar.
It was a token with three characters engraved on it.
"The Stormy Gathering!"
Why does this guy have this thing on him?!
He quickly and carefully examined the jade slip and finally found a clue.
Among them was a jade slip containing a letter.
"Young Master Helian, the Kuanglan Society has invited the three heroes of the Helian family to join us. This token serves as proof. If you are interested, you can contact us at any time via the token. The Kuanglan Society will definitely give you a satisfactory reward. A top assassin is just around the corner."
Ye Kang narrowed his eyes after reading it.
"Interesting. It seems the Raging Waves Society isn't just a pure assassin organization after all..."
