My Apprentice Is Too Diligent

Chapter 53: No Conditions

Hmm?

Chen Wuji looked puzzled as he looked at Li Zhengchun who had just entered, and asked, "What does Master Li mean?"

"It means exactly what it says."

Li Zhengchun's face was solemn as he held a pitch-black box in his hands and walked slowly to the desk next to Chen Wuji, placing the box on the table.

Then, with a "click, click" sound, he opened the buttons on the side and gently opened the box.

Revealed inside was a water-blue bead slightly larger than a quail egg.

Looking at this bead, Chen Wuji's gaze couldn't help but focus. With his enhanced perception, he could clearly sense the energy flowing slowly inside the bead.

"What is this..."

"This is my Li family's ancestral treasure, the Spirit Gathering Bead."

Li Zhengchun's gaze was deep as he looked at the blue bead and said in a low voice, "My Li family is not originally from the Qing Kingdom. We migrated from other countries. Our ancestors were once wealthy and had many treasure weapons, but with the constant changes in our residence, we lost and misplaced most of them along the way."

"Now, only this Spirit Gathering Bead remains."

"The younger generations are incapable and can only possess the bead without being able to use it."

"Because in order to control the bead and unleash its effects, one must first break through the True Qi Realm!"

"...The True Qi Realm is required to use it?" Chen Wuji was slightly startled when he heard this.

"Yes." Li Zhengchun raised his head, his eyes shining, and stared at Chen Wuji without blinking. "The effect of the Spirit Gathering Bead is to infuse it with True Qi to activate it, allowing it to gather the energy of the heavens and earth in water for one's own use!"

"Spirit Gathering Bead!" Chen Wuji blurted out, suddenly realizing, and looked at Li Zhengchun in astonishment.

The old man took out this rare treasure in front of him. Could it be...

"Mr. Qin hasn't guessed wrong. My Li family is willing to lend Mr. Qin this Spirit Gathering Bead for three years to complete the transformation to the Ninth Layer of the True Qi Realm."

Li Zhengchun said solemnly, "If three years are not enough, five years or ten years are not a problem. As long as it can help Mr. Qin complete the transformation of True Qi and ascend to the Ascending Heaven Realm!"

Above the Body Refining Realm is the True Qi Realm, and above the True Qi Realm is the Ascending Heaven Realm.

Breaking through the True Qi Realm, one is still a mortal, although their strength is formidable and they possess terrifying power.

But only by stepping into the Ascending Heaven Realm can one truly transcend the mundane and increase their lifespan by a century.

If one cultivates certain special techniques, living for two hundred years is not a problem!

Li Zhengchun's offer to lend the bead is not only ambitious but also a gamble.

A gamble on Chen Wuji's character, a gamble on Chen Wuji's potential.

Whether he can become a powerful Ascending Heaven expert in the future!

To be honest, Chen Wuji was somewhat stunned.

Fortunately, he regained his composure in a few breaths and stared at the Spirit Gathering Bead, saying in a deep voice, "What are the conditions?"

"If my family accepts the Spirit Gathering Bead, what do we need to give in return?"

Phew!

Sigh~

Li Changyu and Li Changwu, who had been silent on the side, relaxed their nervousness and took a deep breath when they heard Chen Wuji's words. They exchanged a glance and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They bet right!

In the face of such a treasure as the Spirit Gathering Bead, Chen Wuji's integrity remained intact. He did not resort to snatching or killing to obtain it.

Borrow...

Although it was said to be borrowing, it was no different from giving.

Unlimited borrowing, isn't that just giving?

When Li Zhengchun took out the Spirit Gathering Bead just now, Li Changyu and Li Changwu were extremely tense, holding their breaths.

Now that it's over, the two of them were genuinely delighted.

"No conditions!"

On Li Zhengchun's serious face, there was a hint of a smile at this moment. "Mr. Qin doesn't need to give anything. If there is anything, it's just a hope that when my Li family encounters a major crisis and faces extinction, Mr. Qin can lend a hand."

How generous!

Chen Wuji has never admired anyone since he came to this world.

This time, he truly admires him.

No conditions, even if it means the extinction of the clan, it's just lending a hand.

Such magnanimity, such means, it's amazing.

Although it is said that what is free is the most valuable.

But the effect of the Gathering Water Spirit Pearl is indeed very much needed by Chen Wuji at the moment.

The energy of heaven and earth permeates all things in the world.

In areas with thin energy, there is almost none in the air.

However, there is quite a bit of energy in the water.

The Gathering Water Spirit Pearl can gather and collect it, undoubtedly helping a lot.

For this reason, after thinking for a moment, Chen Wuji agreed.

"Good."

Chen Wuji said in a deep voice, "The pearl, I will accept it. If the Li family is in danger, I will lend a hand."

Hearing this, Li Zhengchun smiled, closed the box, and pushed it towards Chen Wuji. "Then I'll trouble Mr. Qin to take care of the pearl."

Chen Wuji nodded and put away the box.

He tossed it in his hand and said, "Although I have the pearl now, I still want to buy some elixirs to increase my cultivation. I have to trouble the head of the Li family to send someone to contact the capital and make a special trip."

As he spoke, Chen Wuji reached into his pocket and took out several large banknotes, placing them on the table.

"This is ten thousand taels, serving as a deposit. If it's not enough when picking up the goods, I'll make up for it then."

"That's enough, that's enough." Li Changyu hurriedly said, "The Qi Condensation pills are usually sold in bottles of ten pills, at most ten bottles. It's difficult to get more, and we dare not buy more."

"As for the pickup time, because we haven't traded for a long time, we need to reestablish contact, so it will take about half a month."

"Half a month? Okay." Chen Wuji nodded, "Then I'll come back in half a month."

After speaking, he stood up, took the box, and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he remembered something and said, "By the way, pay attention to the He family member who just left."

"Oh?" Li Changyu was puzzled.

Li Zhengchun was also curious.

But Chen Wuji didn't say anything, just smiled.

Then, accompanied by the three of them, he left the Li family.

The He family member who left just now, He Dengming, had the map of County Lord Qi Chongshan with him.

At least, this incomplete map was in He Dengming's hands.

Will Qi Chongshan let it go when he notices?

...

After leaving the Li family's compound.

Passing through a few alleys, Chen Wuji adjusted his bones, returned to his original appearance, and changed his clothes.

When he was about to approach the Chen Family's compound, he suddenly heard a burst of shouts and killings.

Looking up, he saw two groups of people chasing each other on the street ahead.

Among the two people running in front, Chen Wuji recognized one of them.

His fourth disciple, Chen Yifan!
