Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 251 Men deserve the best; beg me and I'll help you.

After a series of cold laughs, Asha Ruya also offered Lu Ran his price for his services.

"Within the Tyrant Mountains, there is a top-tier lightning-type soul seed called Tyrant Desolate Lightning, which also has a six-fold amplification of lightning magic!"

"I can guarantee I'll get my hands on it for you. While the Tyrant's Thunder Domain isn't as powerful as your Thunder Emperor's Crown, it's still definitely among the top-tier Thunder-type Soul Seeds. At this time of year, it'd start at over a billion at a Venetian auction house, and selling it for twelve or thirteen hundred million wouldn't be difficult."

"How about that? Is that enough to get you to take action?"

Asharuya has absolute confidence!
Could a bounty of one billion be enough to hire a high-level mage?
Even a regular super-level squad could probably handle it if they took action once!
But faced with such an exorbitant price, Lu Ran's expression remained completely unmoved, causing Asha's smile to freeze on her face.

"You may not know this, but the one thing I have plenty of is money."

"I'm not interested in money."

Lu Ran rubbed his nails and said calmly.

If someone else had said such shameless things, Asha's Ya would have definitely lost her temper and gone berserk.

But the other party was Lu Ran, the pride of Kyushu. He had experienced so many legendary events, and his wealth was indeed unimaginable to ordinary people. Lu Ran certainly had the right to say that.

"Then what else do you want? I advise you not to go too far. It has to be something I can afford," Asha'ruya said, forcing a smile again.

Lu Ran didn't need anything in particular at the moment.

Most importantly, the treasure he wanted was something Asha's Riya couldn't give him!

I want information about the Six Divine Eyes, even just one of them. Can you, Asha'ruya, give it to me?

Even though Asha's head of intelligence is a mere fallen angel soul embryo possessor, Lu Ran doesn't think she could know many secrets.

Finally, Lu Ran's gaze lingered for a moment on Asha's voluptuous and beautiful curves, and he raised an eyebrow, saying:

"I haven't thought of the terms yet. You don't have what I want. Let's just owe you for now. It's a request you can't refuse later."

Asha's delicate body trembled slightly; she was furious.

I don't have what you want.

You mean to say that my figure isn't attractive enough to you?

Asha'ruya shuddered and said coldly, "How would I know if your request is anything improper?"

Lu Ran sighed, saying with a hint of helplessness:
"Do I really have such a bad impression on you?"

"Don't worry, I won't make things too difficult for you."

"Besides, you must have some reason for being so eager to go to the Tyrant Mountains. Do you have any other candidates in Venice besides me?"

“Zhe Luo from Britain is quite good. I heard he also has a high-level level three cultivation and is considered the second strongest contestant in this year’s World University Competition,” Lu Ran suggested.

Asha Ruya looked disdainful. Zhe Luo was indeed very strong, but how could he be compared to Lu Ran, who was ranked first?
There's someone ranked number one right in front of her, and you expect her to go and seek second place?
What a joke!
Women always want the best, and Asha'ruya readily agreed:
"make a deal."

"You're so eager to go to the Tyrant Mountains, it seems there really is something important there that's attracting you," Lu Ran remarked.

"Heh~ You'll see when you get there. Don't be so shocked your jaw will drop."

Asha'ruya wanted to keep everyone in suspense, but Lu Ran directly revealed the key words:
"Is it because of Austin? That ancient black dragon?"

Asha's smile froze on her face, replaced by confusion, bewilderment, and doubt, her expression now showing shock and panic!

Lu Ran not only knew about the Black Dragon, but also its real name!
"You, how could you know these things? This shouldn't be possible," Asha Ruya murmured, her voice trembling. "Me? I naturally have my own channels," Lu Ran said with a sinister smile.

The next day.

On the outskirts of the desolate Tyrant Mountains, Lu Ran and Asha Ruya walked side by side.

"That's rare. I thought you would guide the female students of the Kyushu National Academy team in their cultivation for a few days before coming out with me on this trip," Asha Ruya said sarcastically.

Lu Ran stretched and yawned, "I really was cultivating with them yesterday."

Lu Ran silently added in his mind, "Cultivation is still cultivation."

Asha'ruya didn't believe it at all and sneered, "I knew long ago that you were a licentious man, and there's no use in trying to deny it."

Lu Ran had no choice but to slow down and stare at the plump, swaying buttocks in his field of vision, before giving it a sudden slap.

'shoot!'

Asha's face flushed red, and she stood frozen in shock.

Two or three seconds later, she came to her senses and realized that Lu Ran was nowhere to be seen.
He had somehow gotten ahead of him.

“Lu Ran.” Asha Ruya gritted her teeth and said, word by word.

If it were anyone else, daring to desecrate her like that—no, if they even had that thought, they could forget about ever getting their hands on her!
But Lu Ran.
Asharuya had to admit that she probably couldn't beat him.

Let you be arrogant for a few more days.
At the summit of the main peak of the Tyrant Mountains, a strange black cloud shrouds the surrounding mountains year-round.

The dark clouds hung low, almost level with the mountain peak, making it seem as if you could reach out and touch them from the summit.

The Tyrant Thunder that Asharuya spoke of was born from powerful lightning between these mountains and dark clouds.

However, the seed of lightning was not hidden on the mountaintop, but rather concealed in a narrow crevice halfway up the mountain.

Looking through the crack, one could see countless dark blue lightning bolts flashing wildly within, like enraged thunder pythons churning erratically.

That unique dark gray lightning is the most distinctive feature of Tyrant's Desolate Lightning.

"Is this the Tyrant Desolate Thunder?" Lu Ran narrowed his eyes.

This was not the first time he had witnessed a wild soul species.

Back in the Scorching Plains, he had seen many fire-type soul seeds, some of which even possessed domains!
But none of those fire-type soul seeds could compare to the tyrant Desolate Thunder before them!

The scene of raging thunder before our eyes is indeed magnificent, and this Tyrant Desolate Thunder is indeed a top-tier thunder-type soul seed!
Its power was only slightly weaker than the Thunder Emperor's Crown, which was not necessarily tamed back then.

“Lu Ran, you are a lightning mage, but you have already fused with a lightning soul seed. Once you get close to the Tyrant Desolate Lightning, you will be met with its resistance. Moreover, there must be powerful demons guarding the vicinity of a rare and precious natural object like the Tyrant Desolate Lightning.”

"As long as you give in and beg me, I'll help you."

"How about it? This deal is pretty good, isn't it?" Asha Ruya asked enticingly with a charming smile.

She had already discovered that there were several Wind Flame Thunder Vultures guarding the area, and those were all commander-level demons.

Even if Lu Ran is very strong, it would be extremely difficult to deal with several powerful demons at the same time while subduing the Thunder Seed!
So, the only option left is to ask Asha's Ya for help.
