Chapter 519 Devil Whisper
Wang Wei had dinner with his family before preparing to relax in the next few days, waiting for the opening of the Secret Realm he divined would help him in his resources gathering.
Then, he took out a special jug from his space ring, and immediately after opening it, an enchanting wine smell spread out from his mountain throughout the entire sect.
Many disciples and Elders looked in his direction while swallowing their saliva; they could feel that this wine would be delicious and highly beneficial for cultivation.
Wang Wei took a sip before closing his eyes in intoxication. After a few sips, he could feel his Gourmet Cell talent activated and his fleshly body's strength increased by 5 Dragon Force.
He used state-of-the-art modern technology to brew this wine before adding Innate Qi in the final process. Then, he used the Innate Time Treasure to age this wine by at least 250,000 years.
"Not bad, but let's wait how you will taste after half a million years and more."
He looked in the distance to see Li Jun flying over to his mountain and waving his hand to activate the mountain's formation; he won't share it with anyone today.
Ignoring Li Jun's cry of unfairness or his attempt to contact him through a talisman, Wang Wei took a few more sips and increased his fleshly body's power.
Then, when he prepared to put the wine away, he suddenly stopped as he sensed something. He activated his Soul Network Divine Ability and went straight to the Martial Supreme World Community.
"Did I find something? Finally."
Wang Wei has been using his ability to search for people in the Martial Supreme World who could give him a few more innate treasures. He targeted people from an Emperor Lineage since there are more likely to access such a treasure level.
His focus was not on Heaven Chosens but on people who failed to acquire the position. The only downside is he has to wait for these people to leave the confinement of their sect since his ability cannot access their souls when protected by Immortal-Tier Arrays.
Inside the Mind Palace that he created for the Soul Network Ability, he focused on a particular soul.
"Song Jinyuan, Second Son of the Song Family, a Martial Art Clan with four Great Emperors. He previously lost the title of First Son to an unparalleled genius that appeared from the branch clan. Nevertheless, he refuses to accept defeat and constantly challenges the first son.
"But after too many defeats, the latter has become his Heart Demon. Perfect."
"Where is this?" muttered Song Jinyuan as he looked around with vigilance. One moment he was waiting for the beginning of the Sword City Martial Art Conference; the next, his soul was forcibly called to this place.
He looked around to notice he was in this dark place, sitting on a cushion with an older man sitting opposite him. He immediately frowned as he could not detect any aura or cultivation from the man opposite him.
However, since the latter could draw his soul into this place under the nose of his Dao Protector and the City Lord of Sword City, he might be an Immortal powerhouse, or at the very least, a Quasi-Emperor.
"Junior Song Jinyuan has seen senior."
"Calm and collected: not bad," replied Wang Wei in an old fashion way of speaking, as if seizing out a junior. "I won't beat around the bush: Do you want to beat Song Dusheng?"
"Senior, what do you mean?"
"I will temporarily give you the power to defeat him."
Song Jinyuan frowned before hesitating: "Senior, what do you want from this junior?"
"It's good to talk to smart people. I want innate spiritual herbs."
Song Jinyuan looked shocked; he did not expect this senior to be so straightforward.
"Hey, lad, you don't understand how hard it is for us Loose Immortal Cultivators. Without background, we must find our own resources," Wang Wei said with a sad sigh.
A look of understanding flashed across Song Jinyuan's face. Then, he smiled embarrassedly, "Senior--"
"I know you cannot access innate resources as the second son."
Song Jinyuan clenched his fists after hearing this.
"Here's what we'll do. I will lend three of them to you. Then you challenge the first son for three innate treasures as a bargaining price. After you use my power to defeat him, you will return them."
"I accept," said Song Jinyuan, without hesitation.
"Oh, don't you want to think it over for a while? I don't mind waiting."
"No need."
He did think of buying some time to tell his family about this encounter–especially since the latter is nothing but a loose cultivator. However, he decided otherwise after thinking about how even the Immortal Supreme Elders in the clan are now on Song Dusheng's side.
All that matters is to defeat his enemy and deal with the current Heart Demon.
"Excellent. Sign the contract, and we can begin."
Song Jinyuan was not surprised he needed to have some restrictions placed on him. So, he read every detail of the contract before signing it with his soul.
"How do you want to defeat Song Dusheng?"
"Senior, what do you mean?"
"Do you want to use an invincible power and defeat him with one punch? Or, have a hearty battle with him before defeating him at the last minute. Better yet, suppress him throughout the entire battle."
Song Jinyuan instinctively wanted to choose the first option. But he realized that doing so would invite more questions from his family. So, he decided to select the second one. However, thinking about all the misery and suffering he endured in the past thousand years, he said:
"I choose the third option."
Wang Wei smiled before waving his hand to condense two things: a talisman and a drop of blood.
"Senior, this is?"
"Both will give you the power to defeat your opponent. If you choose the talisman, your family will know it was the result of outside aid; they will label your victory as the result of a fortunate encounter.
"However, if you choose the blood and absorb it, they will think it is your strength."
Song Jinyuna clenched his teeth. He knew the correct answer was the talisman, but he could not remove his eyes from the blood.
"I-I choose the blood."
"Young lad, think wisely. The power is only temporarily."
"Senior, I have made my choice."
"As you wish."
The blood drop floated before him, and Song Jinyuna swallowed it.
"Senior, can I only use the power one time?"
"That's correct."
"Could you make it so I can use it multiple times?"
"Why?"
"Song Dusheng will participate in the upcoming Martial Art Conference, and I want to defeat him in front of everyone during the final. However, I know I don't have the strength to reach the final, while he has a great chance."
"I see. I will allow the blood to release some power whenever you face an opponent beyond your means; this should allow you to reach the final."
Wang Wei paused before waving his hand and condensing another talisman.
"This is a Luck Manipulation Talisman. Wearing it will prevent you from meeting Song Dusheng before the final. It will even allow all the most powerful competitors to meet in advance, forcing them to eliminate one another."
Song Jinyuan excitedly took the talisman before bowing to the senior and leaving this space. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in the residence allocated to the Song Clan.
He sensed the power rushing threw his veins and felt intoxicated for a moment.
'Song Dasheng, you wait for me.'
Then, Song Jinyuan watched the competition unfold with awe. All the famous Heaven Chosens or Seeded Player of this competition would miraculously pick each other as opponents.
Meanwhile, he and Song Dasheng would also pick powerful opponents, but not ones they could not defeat after some efforts. Then, the two finally reached the final, which surprised all the older generations watching.
According to the plan, Song Jinyuan taunted his opponent before asking to raise the stake for three innate treasures. Song Dasheng–with the utmost confidence in himself–readily accepted the offer and even signed the contract.
Then, Song Jinyuan maltreated him during this fight. With the drop of blood containing 70% of Wang Wei's strength, he gave his opponent a beating he would never forget in his entire life.
Song Jinyuan gave back all the pain and suffering he endured in the past thousand years. If a Song Clan Elder did not remind him, he might have tried to kill Song Dasheng.
After winning the competition, Song Jinyuan received his prize before his clan's elder interrogated him about his sudden strength gain. He only said he had a fortunate encounter recently that improved his strength; no one doubted him as this was common.
Although the strength gain was quite significant, it was not out of the realm of acceptance.
Then, a slight issue arose about the three innate treasures that Song Dasheng promised. A few elders argued there was no need to abide by the agreement since this was a battle between juniors.
However, under Song Jinyuan's insistence and threatening to destroy Song Dasheng's soul according to the contract, the clan finally agreed. Of course, the main reason for his success is that some of the elders who did not like that a branch member was this generation's Heaven Chosen intervened and took his side.
"Senior, here are the innate treasures."
Wang Wei smiled before receiving his reward. He checked the three new ones: two of them could be used to temper his incarnation's skin and muscle. However, the third one was of the thunder attribute.
'It doesn't matter. I can exchange with the sect for one of the five elements.'
"You seem distraught. What's the issue?" asked Wang Wei.
"I think some of the Supreme Elders are suspicious of my strength. Senior, please help me?"
Wang Wei frowned slightly after hearing this. He did not think his method could hide from an Immortal powerhouse. However, he also understood the concept of returning customers.
As such, although he could abandon Song Jinyuan since he already got what he wanted, it could come in handy in the future to help him now.
"Alright, I'll help you one last time."
He gave him another drop of blood which would temporarily fuse with his body and make it look as if Song Jinyuan had acquired a new bloodline, hence the reason for his sudden strength gain.
Then, he took out the talisman Wu Hong gave him and used his power to seal and remove any trace that this power was foreign or artificial. So, even if a Dao Ancestor checked Song Jinyuan's body, they would not find anything abnormal.
"Remember, the blood will disappear after your Supreme Elder check."
Song Jinyuan nodded, albeit his face was full of disappointment. After bowing, he exited the space.
