Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Seeing this situation, Yu Changsheng had no choice but to say to Lu Xin:

"Brother Lu, it seems that man doesn't believe me."

Lu Xin also had a dark expression, unsure of what to say.

He could only pat Yu Changsheng on the shoulder and say, "Sigh, it seems that you and I, brothers, will not have the opportunity to make big money."

However, just as the two were talking, a glimmer of light suddenly appeared on the horizon.

It then quickly fell into Yu Changsheng's hands.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xin naturally knew that it was a jade slip for communication, so there was still hope.

Lu Xin was even more anxious than Yu Changsheng himself, and quickly asked:

"Quick, quick, who sent this?"

Yu Changsheng opened it and handed the communication jade slip to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin quickly took it, glanced at it, and then excitedly slapped his thigh.

"Good! Looks like that guy actually believed it after all!"

"Hahaha, it seems the heavens have truly spared me!"

Yu Changsheng also asked, "Brother, when are we going over there?"

Lu Xin said excitedly, "Of course, the sooner the better, otherwise what if the other party changes their mind?"

Yu Changsheng nodded, and Lu Xin, without further hesitation, turned around and discussed the matter briefly with the others before heading to the designated location with Yu Changsheng.

When Yu Changsheng and the others arrived at the location indicated on the letter, they found the place deserted.

Cai Xin still asked with some concern, "Have we been tricked?"

Lu Xin shook his head and said, "Probably not, maybe that person just hasn't arrived yet."

The group had no choice but to stand there and wait for a while. Fortunately, not long after, a person quickly came to them.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you guys to be so punctual."

The person who arrived was none other than Ding Xuan.

However, these people clearly did not recognize Ding Xuan's identity, and Ding Xuan was also wearing a mask at the moment, and her voice was slightly lowered, unlike before, so her appearance could not be seen.

Lu Xin asked, "What, is it not enough that we're on time? Do we have to be exactly like you?"

Ding Xuan did not respond, but instead extended her hand and asked:

"Where's the money?"

Lu Xin and the others looked at me, then at you. Only then did they realize what was happening.

It turned out that the letter not only required Yu Changsheng to contribute his efforts, but also to provide additional financial assistance.

This put Lu Xin and the others in an even more difficult position.

Yu Changsheng was already penniless, so he had no money left.

So he asked in a low voice, "Brother, is it possible for you to scrape together the money?"

Seeing that Lu Xin was also in a dilemma, he said, "Please wait a moment."

Afterwards, Lu Xin discussed the matter with the other three again.

"Brothers, whether we can make it or not depends on this. I know you guys still have some savings on you, it's time to take them out."

"If you don't take it now, when will you? Do you have to wait until we go our separate ways before you're willing to take it?"

Having said that, Lu Xin took the lead and brought out all the several hundred spirit stones and some spiritual materials he had secretly hoarded.

Seeing that Lu Xin had already done so, the others stopped hiding anything from him.

They all handed over the last bit of spirit stones and materials they had secretly hoarded.

The four of them pooled their resources and managed to gather several thousand spirit stones and a large amount of spiritual materials, with a total value approaching ten thousand.

Lu Xin was also surprised that the four of them could actually put together so many things.

I originally thought everyone had reached a dead end, but now I realize it.

There's no such thing as being at your wit's end; these tens of thousands of spirit stones are more than enough to make one quite comfortable.

"Alright, enough with the chit-chat, let's not waste any more time."

"If we can pull off this job, everyone will get back all their losses in one go, and they'll even make a lot more money."

Lu Xin put all the spirit stones and materials into a separate storage bag.

Then he also said to Ding Xuan:

"The amount you requested is likely more than what's in this storage bag, and after the deed is done, you'll receive your share without a penny less!"

"Now, can you tell me where Li Xiu is hiding?"

Ding Xuan stepped forward to examine the contents of the storage bag, weighed it in her hand, and said with satisfaction:

"Not bad, you do have some credibility. But that's a small matter. After you find Li Xiu's location, immediately report to the City Lord's Mansion. Then leave a talisman image for the City Lord's Mansion."

"As for the person, keep him with me for now. Once you deliver the money to me, I will naturally hand him over to you."

"You've already caught him?" Lu Xin exclaimed in surprise.

"Nonsense, by the time I found Li Xiu, he had already been severely injured by someone."

"Of course I would have acted immediately to take them down, but unfortunately, I have a grudge against the Li family, and I haven't been able to find a suitable partner these past two days. Otherwise, why would I have cooperated with you?"

"But don't worry, there's nothing wrong with him. You just need to show Li Xiu's talisman to the Li family, and they will believe it."

"The only problem is that you have to get the money first. As for how to talk to the Li family, that's your problem."

"Do you agree?"

After hearing this, Lu Xin and the others discussed it amongst themselves.

They could understand, since neither side was familiar with the other, and the other party couldn't possibly believe that they would definitely deliver the spirit stones to their hands.

Therefore, this method is undoubtedly the safest one: money on the spot.

"Okay, we agree, let's do it this way!"

"Alright, it's a deal. I'll take you to meet the person, and you can record the talisman images yourselves."

"But don't even think about doing anything shady. If anyone tries to forcibly take them away, don't blame me for not warning you."

"Even if the five of you work together, you can't do anything to me."

Lu Xin also said:

"Please rest assured, although we are independent cultivators, we still understand the meaning of credibility."

"That would be best."

Ding Xuan gave a warning before leading her people to the place where Li Xiu was kept.

When the group entered the cave, they immediately saw Li Xiu, who was bound hand and foot.

Li Xiu struggled as he saw someone approaching, but it was all in vain.

Yu Changsheng and the others had already sealed his magical power and placed a special restriction on him. Now, Li Xiu is not much different from an ordinary person.

Ding Xuan said, "Record the talisman image as soon as possible. Once you've finished recording, I'll immediately head to another location. Don't even think about directly telling the Li family his location in exchange for five million spirit stones."

"Once I get the money from you, I'll tell you its location."

"no problem."

Lu Xin stopped wasting words and immediately began to use the talisman to record Li Xiu's appearance.

Once this talisman image is recorded, it can be activated again using magic power to see the blurry content from when it was recorded.

After the group finished setting up the talisman, Ding Xuan urged, "Let's stick to what we agreed on beforehand. Once we have the spirit stones, I'll leave the four of you with some."

"Once we have the spirit stones, we can hand the person over to you immediately."

"Of course, no problem."

Lu Xin nodded in agreement, and then left with Yu Changsheng and the others.

After the others left, Ding Xuan immediately moved Li Xiu away.

Sanling Town.

Lu Xin took a deep breath in front of the city gate, surprised that things had gone so smoothly.

Next, all that's needed is to discuss it with the head of the Li family, and once the money and people arrive, everything will be perfect.

However, Lu Xin still couldn't forget about those ten million spirit stones.

Before they could go inside, Hu Chong, who had been following at the back, stopped them.

He then added:

"Wait a bit before going in."

The original text can be found at 6#9@book/bar!

Cai Xin asked, "What's wrong? Is something the problem?"

Hu Chong said, "Yes! Of course! I definitely won't agree to that 40/60 split."

Lu Xin said, "Why didn't you mention it before? Now that we're here, and that person has long since left, how can we talk about it?"

Hu Chong shook his head and said, "You've misunderstood me. Didn't Brother Wang say that guy has a grudge against the Li family?"

"If we tell the Li family about this, wouldn't we be able to get all of that guy's ten million spirit stones and also get rid of an enemy for the Li family? It's killing two birds with one stone!"

Cai Xin shook her head, "This matter is probably not that simple."

"That person must have anticipated that we might do such a thing, and would certainly have taken precautions. How could they possibly let us manipulate them?"

"If we really have bad intentions, he might find out. At that time, we might lose all four million spirit stones, not only that, but we'll also have to pay off the ten thousand spirit stones we already had."

Upon hearing Cai Xin's analysis, the others immediately began to hesitate.

Yu Changsheng said, "I also need to get back the spirit stones that I was swindled out of before."

Seeing that Yu Changsheng had agreed, Lu Xin and the others finally began to get restless.

Seeing this, Hu Chong spoke again:

"That guy isn't a god, how could he know everything? Anyway, all we need to do is make arrangements with the Li family, and catching that guy will be a piece of cake, right?"

After some discussion, the group finally made up their minds.

Lu Xin nodded and said, "Alright, since that's the case, let's do it that way!"

"After I meet with the Li family patriarch later, I'll talk to him and make sure this matter is resolved!"

Finally, the four of them entered Sanling Town.

In the city lord's palace.

Li Muling also suddenly received the news that Li Xiu's whereabouts had been discovered, and immediately stood up from his chair.

"Bring them here right now!"

"yes!"

Not long after, Lu Xin and the others were summoned, while Yu Changsheng simply made up an excuse to stay outside.

Lu Xin and the others assumed that Yu Changsheng was somewhat frightened, so they did not let him come along.

Anyway, it's the same for him outside.

Li Muling sat in the chair and looked the four of them over. "It was you guys who discovered Li Xiu's whereabouts."

Lu Xin and the others cupped their hands and said, "Greetings, Lord City Lord. It was we who discovered Li Xiu's whereabouts."

Li Muling asked, "If that's the case, why not bring the person over? Do you only want the five million spirit stones? Well, that's fine too, as long as you can provide reliable information to help us capture Li Xiu, you won't be shortchanged on the five million spirit stones."

Lu Xin smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord City Lord. This item is from our records of Li Xiu. I wonder if this is the same person?"

Lu Xin immediately handed the recorded message to Li Muling.

Li Muling also used magic to check, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Yes, that's him. Where is he now?"

Lu Xin said, "This person has been secretly detained in a certain location."

Li Muling immediately realized that these guys wanted money first, then they would hand over the person.

"Alright, someone, bring them ten million spirit stones immediately."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xin and the others held their breath, thinking they would have to waste time trying to persuade him.

Unexpectedly, the head of the Li family was so generous, saying that he would pay without hesitation.

Before long, a maid handed the group a storage bag containing ten million spirit stones.

Upon seeing this, Lu Xin smiled and said, "Thank you, Clan Chief Li!"

Li Muling said calmly, "Enough nonsense. I've already given you the money. You'd better call the person out quickly, or don't think that the spirit stones of my Li family are so easy to take."

Lu Xin said, "That's natural. However, Clan Chief Li, we have news about another person who also has a grudge against the Li family. I wonder if Clan Chief Li would be interested?"

"Oh?" Li Muling asked, "Who is it? Tell me."

Lu Xin immediately informed Li Muling of the situation.

Li Muling sneered after hearing this, "Hmph, I didn't expect there to be such a thing."

Where is that person?

Lu Xin said, "Report to Chief Li that the man is very cautious. He has been holding onto the person tightly and will only hand him over once we have captured him."

"However, if Chief Li is willing to put on a show with us, we can definitely take him down!"

Li Muling now understood that these guys wanted to keep all the money after cooperating with that person, which was why they betrayed him.

However, Li Muling didn't care about the scheming and backstabbing among these guys.

As long as we can capture Li Xiu, nothing else matters.

"Alright, since that's the case, then proceed as you see fit. As long as you can hand over Li Xiuren to me, nothing else matters. You can handle it yourselves."

"I will also send people to assist you."

"However, if you mess things up and let him escape, don't blame me for not reminding you that your own lives are more important."

Lu Xin and the others felt a chill upon hearing this, but Lu Xin quickly nodded and said:

"Chief Li, rest assured, there will be no problem as long as we are careful."

"As for Chief Li's men, they only need to remain hidden. I will send a signal once the time is right, at which point Chief Li will immediately dispatch his men to surround and intercept them, and they will surely be able to capture that person."

"it is good."

Li Muling agreed.

Lu Xin and the others finally left the city lord's mansion.

As soon as they left, Yu Changsheng approached and quickly asked, "Brother, how did it go?"

Lu Xin also took out a spirit stone, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Of course it's successful!"

"However, this money cannot be distributed now; it must be distributed after Li Xiuren is caught."

Yu Changsheng also looked incredulous.

"Did the Li family just hand you the money without any suspicion? Did they get it so easily?" (End of Chapter)
