Above all spirits

Chapter 296: Raising the price from the ground up

Upon hearing the reason, the elven woman's expression immediately changed, and she smiled somewhat hypocritically, but most people could not tell that her smile was absent-minded.

"Oh, I see. Thank you so much, young man. You are now a great benefactor to my elven royal family."

After saying that, he stopped paying attention to Xiao Li and didn't care about Xiao Li's feelings.

This left Xiao Li speechless.

The elven man, however, paid no attention to such trivial matters. His expression revealed barely suppressed excitement, and he undoubtedly chose to ask the question directly.

"Kukai, have you obtained that half of the wordless heavenly book?"

Upon hearing the wordless book, the elven woman's slightly pointed ears twitched slightly, clearly indicating that what had happened before was merely friendly conversation.

Her ultimate goal was naturally this wordless book.

Gu Yun shook his head, but there was no trace of regret on his face. His expression was very subtle as he spoke softly.

"No."

"Didn't you see I didn't really restrain her much?"

"It's not that easy. In fact, half the reason she's here is because she did it on purpose."

"She seemed to be driven to desperation, thinking that rather than keeping the blank book like a hot potato in her hands, she might as well trade it with us."

"But they dared not enter the Elven royal family directly, fearing they would never return."

"Settling down in these remote surrounding stars, I would occasionally disguise myself and head to the city to find someone destined to meet me."

“This young man is an informant I met in the city, and we just happened to run into each other.”

"But since she's in our hands, isn't that practically the same as having a blank book in the hands of the three of us?"

"It's just a matter of time."

The elven woman smiled knowingly.

"Kukai is absolutely right. Alright, Ming-ge, don't be so hasty and reckless."

The elven man glared fiercely at Xiang Ling behind Gu Yun, sighed, and said.

"Qingzi, you're right, Kukai. What does this woman want from us?"

"The price for exchanging the wordless book is probably not small."

Gu Yun narrowed his eyes.

It seems that the male member of the elven royal family should be named Yun Ming, and the female member Yun Qingzi.

After all, the entire elven royal family shares the surname Yun.

Honestly.

The only thing that caught his eye was the man and woman in front of him, which made him somewhat interested in reinforcements.

after all.

There was a man and a woman right behind me, wasn't there?

and.

Those who could be summoned in this setting are likely the people who know Yun Konghai best. Conversely, it means that apart from these two, other members of the Elven royal family probably don't know much about Yun Konghai; their interactions are just ordinary.

Replacing these two people's identities would make it easier for Gu Yun to move freely within the Elf Royal Family.

Of course, this only applies to peers, excluding elders.

Unfortunately, only he and Xiao Li could completely disguise their auras, because besides himself, Werner was the only one who could use the power of assimilation.

The other one can only use the Heavenly Demon Emperor's Intent to disguise his appearance and conceal his aura, but entering the Elf Royal Family to conceal his aura will only make him the focus of attention.

The Elf King, who is extremely sensitive to auras, doesn't need to conceal his presence...

and many more? !

Why should I conceal my breath?

Isn't she a member of the Elf royal family?

In the Nether...

There probably aren't many people who can see through the disguises and illusions of the Emperor's Will level.

Thinking about it.

Gu Yun's gaze towards the two people in front of him softened further, and a smile appeared on his face.

He then transmitted his voice to Xiangling.

"Tell me, within the Elven royal family, what kind of treasures of this level would be exchanged for someone of their rank, and approximately how many? If it's too high, I'm afraid they won't even consider it."

Xiangling recalled for a moment and said.

"I don't know what kind of spiritual treasures or holy medicines are in the Elven royal family's treasury. However, I often heard my mother say that the life essence produced by the World Tree is extremely precious, and the life water sold outside is life essence diluted hundreds of times."

"No other material I know can compare to the essence of life."

The life essence of the World Tree...

Gu Yun's eyes lit up slightly.

Wouldn't that be equivalent to the life essence of a god-king?

Although the world tree in the lower realm is probably just an insignificant distribution of branches.

This seems to be somewhat useful to me?

He was a little disappointed when he heard that he didn't even know what kind of magical treasures were in the treasure vault. After all, the other materials in the lower realm were really useless to him, but he could try to collect the magical treasures with all sorts of strange functions.

But this essence of life piqued his interest.

How are they usually exchanged?

"I don't know, my parents only get one drop every ten years... ten drops?"

Gu Yun nodded knowingly and said to the two of them in a calm tone.

"A thousand drops of life essence".

Kaoru: ?

Yunming: ?

Yun Qingzi: ?

Xiao Li: ?

Werner: That's too little. Hey, kid, you're too modest. If it were me, I would definitely cut down a section of the World Tree and bring it back, plus a thousand drops of life essence.

Gu Yun: You're still the best.

"Don't you dare stop me, I'll kill her right now!"

In a daze, Yunming immediately burst into a tirade of curses, his noble, refined, and dignified image shattered in an instant.

No one present stopped him, and he didn't make a move.

"If you don't want to change, then fucking shut up!"

"Believe it or not, I'll hand you over to the clan. Then you'll know what it's like to be dead!"

"Speaking of which, your bounty in the clan is only fifty drops!"

"You're also of elven royalty, don't you know how precious the essence of life is?!"

"A thousand drops? You really dare to ask for that much!"

"I'll fucking get you a thousand drops of life essence right now!"

"My clan only gives me one drop every twenty years, and I won't even have a thousand drops of life essence before I die!"

Yunming spoke so fluently that Xiangling was completely taken aback.

She knows.

That's why she said about ten drops.

Little did she know that Gu Yun directly raised the price on the spot, which wasn't just raising the price while sitting on the ground, it was raising the price from the sky.

Feeling like crying but unable to shed a tear, she could only try her best to ignore Yunming's insults.

Gu Yun frowned when no one was paying attention.

Twenty years?

Isn't it supposed to be ten years?

It seems that Xiangling's parents must have held a high position within the Elf race at the time. After all, those who could access the Book of No Words couldn't be anything less than exceptional.

Yun Qingzi also had a gloomy face as she spoke.

"Kukai-ge, she's obviously playing you. You actually held back from attacking back then. I can't stand it anymore, so I'll just use Soul Search and make a bet."

After Gu Yun understood the situation, he waved his hand downwards to calm the two people's somewhat agitated emotions.

"That's a wordless book of heaven, are you really willing to gamble with a soul-searching technique?"

I don't think I need to explain to you what abilities the wordless book possesses, right?

The expressions on their faces were incredibly complex, containing a multitude of emotions that were obvious to everyone: fervor for the wordless book, anger at the thousand drops of life essence, and an urge to forcibly search their souls, among others.
