Boarding Life

Chapter 742

After all, conquering just once can greatly enhance one’s cultivation, which seems like a profitable trade from any angle.

However, he wasn’t in a hurry and instead pretended to be deep in thought.

He wanted to see if this Wenren Xiaoxian truly would pay any price for this.

Seeing Qin Qi’s indecision, Wenren Xiaoxian indeed got anxious and softly began, "Brother Qin Qi..."

Qin Qi stroked his chin, "Miss Wenren, this matter is rather extraordinary. I must think it through carefully, right?"

Under her veil, Wenren Xiaoxian bit her lip. "Brother Qin Qi, rest assured, I will absolutely not let you suffer a loss. I will exchange it with something of equal value!"

Qin Qi smiled, "How about this, Miss Wenren, before negotiating terms, shouldn’t you remove your veil first to show your sincerity in cooperation?"

"With the veil on, I don’t even know what you look like. Who’s to say you won’t go back on your word later?"

Hearing this, Wenren Xiaoxian hesitated.

She usually wore a veil when out and about because her face was so striking that it would cause unnecessary trouble wherever she went.

But Qin Qi had a point.

To negotiate such an important deal without even revealing her face seemed a bit unreasonable.

Thinking this, Wenren Xiaoxian no longer hesitated, gently raising her hand to softly remove her veil.

Qin Qi stared intently.

When her veil was fully removed, his eyes widened in disbelief.

What a beauty.

This woman was unreasonably beautiful.

"So beautiful!"

"No wonder she’s considered the top among the four great beauties, even though nobody has seen her true face!"

Qin Qi marveled deeply.

Even with the veil on, her figure and aura were already refreshingly extraordinary. Now that the veil was off, it was even more breathtaking.

Truly speaking of appearances, she was undoubtedly on par with Duan Meng and even Zuo Qingyue, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

Noticing Qin Qi’s unwavering gaze, Wenren Xiaoxian lightly coughed to interrupt, "Brother Qin Qi, can we discuss the deal now?"

Qin Qi smiled, "Miss Wenren, are you really willing to agree to anything?"

"Anything!" Wenren Xiaoxian declared firmly.

But soon, an uneasy feeling welled up inside her.

Why was Qin Qi constantly staring at her? Could he be having some unsavory thoughts?

Surely not, who would be so shameless?

Qin Qi didn’t give her a chance to back out, "Alright then, it’s settled. I’ll help you retrieve the item right now. What do you need me to retrieve?"

Wenren Xiaoxian’s eyes lit up, immediately beaming, "The Qingyang Lamp, which resembles an ancient oil lamp, but with an inextinguishable azure flame!"

"Brother Qin Qi, you just need to help me find this item. Tell me what you want in return, and I’ll try to fulfill it."

"As long as it’s something I can manage, I’ll do it!"

Qin Qi grinned, "Rest assured, Miss Wenren, I’m sure you can do it."

Wenren Xiaoxian sighed in relief, then asked, "So, it’s..."

Qin Qi stretched lazily, "I haven’t decided yet, how about I first retrieve the Qingyang Lamp?"

After speaking, he immediately turned away.

Wenren Xiaoxian couldn’t shake the feeling of unease.

But thinking that Qin Qi indeed agreed to find the Qingyang Lamp for her, she didn’t dwell on it further and waited there quietly.

Qin Qi soon arrived at the massive hall in front of him.

Before entering, he had already activated the Profound Pure Spirit Eye.

"As expected, there is a giant array outside the hall too!"

Qin Qi thought silently.

Upon entering the hall, he sensed a mysterious force enveloping him.

When he came to his senses, his hands seemed to be covered with a layer of yellowish grease.

"What is this grease?" Qin Qi asked, puzzled.

The mysterious woman lazily replied, "The simplest and most convenient way to prevent you from recklessly taking treasures from within. Everyone who enters the array will be covered with this power."

"Take a treasure, the power dissipates, and without this power, you can’t take any other treasures."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi gradually understood.

He finally took some time to examine the entire treasure pavilion.

The sight was staggering.

The entire treasure pavilion spanned hundreds of meters, and the number of treasures was simply overwhelming, covering the entire pavilion.

"Wow, I’d estimate there must be thousands of treasures piled in here." Qin Qi gasped, "What is this Holy Maiden Association about!"

The mysterious woman clicked her tongue, "No wonder the Holy Maiden Association disdains interactions with other powers. Apparently, judging by its lineage, the Holy Maiden Association is indeed quite remarkable."

"To gather so many treasures here, it would take a significant heritage."

Qin Qi also began to search around.

The search made his heart flutter.

"What’s this!" Qin Qi couldn’t help but ask.

"The Profound Yellow Fan!"

The mysterious woman carefully explained, "Inject True Qi into it and swing, the fan can unleash several times your strength. It’s quite a decent item!"

"And this?" Qin Qi asked again.

"The Qian Kun Bell, its sound can disrupt enemies. With enough True Qi, it can even turn those with weaker intellect and cultivation than you into fools!" The mysterious woman explained like an encyclopedia.

Qin Qi took a deep breath.

Damn, so many great items.

Was agreeing with Wenren Xiaoxian too hasty?

If only he’d known, he wouldn’t have agreed!

And there were even some secrets that particularly tempted Qin Qi.

"Silver Palace Page?"

"And this, the Thousand Veins Body Refinement Technique, can apparently make bones and flesh as indestructible as Da Shan!"

The more Qin Qi looked, the more regrettable it all seemed.

He couldn’t help but say, "Isn’t there any way to gather more treasures?"

The mysterious woman lazily replied, "While the array is simple, it’s extremely difficult to undo. Unless you break it at the root, but that would definitely alert the Holy Maiden Association."

Qin Qi’s mouth twitched.

After much thought, he decided to first locate the Qingyang Lamp, then see what he could do!

With this in mind, he carefully searched and checked each area.

About half an hour later, Qin Qi completed a general inspection of the entire treasure pavilion and found the Qingyang Lamp that Wenren Xiaoxian greatly desired.

"A ceaseless azure flame, it must be this." Qin Qi gazed at the treasure before him.

He reached to take it.

Sure enough, he effortlessly picked up the Qingyang Lamp.

As he removed the Qingyang Lamp, the oily yellow shade on his hand vanished!

Then, Qin Qi immediately attempted to seize other treasures.

But quickly felt an overwhelming weight on those treasures, preventing him from taking a second item no matter how hard he tried!
