Chapter 35 Green Fire Sacred Vermilion Body
After looking at the woman for a few seconds, Jiu Shen's heart gasped in shock. ‘This woman's body ... This is the sacred body .. Verdant Body Vermilion Sacred Fire! The mortal world actually gave birth to such a body? But the fool developed the secret technique of pure ice.’ Jiu Shen's lips twitched.
A person with the Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body was innately talented in manipulating fire. He would also be able to practice any fire technique with half the effort and earn twice the reward. Furthermore, such physiques were rare even in the Primordial God Realm. That was why Jiu Shen was shocked to see someone with such a physique in the mortal world.
The woman's name was Lu Sulan. He frowned after feeling Jiu Shen's deep gaze. He felt like he was being stripped naked with all his secrets revealed before the man's eyes.
“Master, if you are here just to make trouble, please leave our Ice Cloud Sword Sect.” Lu Sulan said in a tone of voice that was neither humble nor arrogant. He was also somewhat wary of the other party's strength because he couldn't sense anything from it at all. It seemed like he was a mortal who had not practiced cultivation his entire life.
Jiu Shen remained calm and unperturbed under the gazes of all the women. “I want to talk to you alone.” He said in a serious tone as he looked at her with an expressionless face.
Lu Sulan could not see through Jiu Shen's mind. His silver eyes were like two pools of calm water. No one could see the ripples of emotion or see the depth of his gaze.
Apart from his vigilance towards Jiu Shen, he was also curious about what he wanted to discuss with her. He looked at Jiu Shen's silver eyes but he hurriedly threw his face away. He felt a sense of inferiority as if he was like a firefly looking at the moon.
“Because you want to discuss something with me, please follow me.” Lu Sulan said.
Jiu Shen nodded his head calmly and followed behind him.
As for the disciples, they heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that Jiu Shen had already left. They believed that nothing would happen to the sect with their sect leader watching him.
“Who is that guy? She's so scary.”.
“He must be a sect leader from a hidden sect or a hermit expert.”
The disciples discussed amongst themselves while glancing at Jiu Shen's backward figure.
Meanwhile, Lu Sulan brought Jiu Shen to the top floor of their sect library.
He had reason to bring her here. First, there was a protective array carved inside this floor that he could use against Jiu Shen if he made any suspicious moves. And lastly, he did not want to bring the man into his room.
“Please sit down, Mr.” Lu Sulan gestured for him to sit down as he picked up the teapot. He then filled the cup for Jiu Shen and himself before he sat down.
Jiu Shen observed her trained movements as she filled their cups with tea. He then grabbed the cup and inhaled the aroma of the tea before putting it back on the table.
Jiu Shen glanced at him and shook his head calmly. “Have you been drinking this tea when you started cultivating?” Instead of answering his question, he asked his own question.
Lu Sulan was surprised because he was indeed right. He had been drinking Frozen Miscantus Tea ever since he started cultivating. It was something that the previous sect leader had told him to accelerate his cultivation speed. And after drinking it, he would experience a slight increase in his training speed. “How do you know?” He asked with a frown.
Jiu Shen looked at her matchless beautiful face with a calm expression. “Have you experienced any discomfort after breaking through a rank 7 Emperor? And as you break through to the 8th rank heavenly realm, the discomfort becomes even more intense ..” He said indifferently.
As for Lu Sulan, he looked at Jiu Shen while feeling even more horror in his heart because everything he said did happen to him. “You ... You ..”
Jiu Shen waved her right hand encouraging her to remain silent. “I came here to ask for Frozen Cloud Glacier worth ten years.” Jiu Shen stated while ignoring his strange gaze.
“What?! You asked for the Frozen Cloud Glacier for ten years?! No, that's impossible, Sire.” Lu Sulan frowned while shaking his head.
Jiu Shen's lips involuntarily curled up making him feel as if Jiu Shen was holding his neck. “I can help you eliminate your illness in exchange for the Frozen Cloud Glacier. What say?”
Lu Sulan actually did not have any diseases. His condition was merely a side effect of practicing a secret technique as opposed to his Verdant Flames Saintly Vermilion Body.
Lu Sulan's heart rate increased rapidly but he did not show it outwardly. “I don't hurt anything, Sire. Please mention other conditions.”
Jiu Shen maintained his poker face while looking at him. “Let me be honest with you, young lady. The 8th rank God Realm is the most you can achieve with your current condition. And your age will continue to decrease at a very fast pace. You know what I mean.” He then pointed at her hair.
Lu Sulan had ice-cold blue hair, but there were gray spots that signified his reduced life span.
After hearing his last sentence, Lu Sulan's body trembled. With a trembling voice, he said. “Can I ask for your honorable name, Sire?”
“Call me Jiu Shen.”
“Mr Jiu Shen, can you really cure me?” Lu Sulan had a hopeful look as he looked at Jiu Shen.
“I can indeed help you cure your illness. Actually, I have two ways to cure your illness.” Jiu Shen stated with a calm look.
