Two Realms Shuttle Gate: Don't Call Me a Demon!

Chapter 143 - 59: Yunling Realm Seventh Level (Fourth Update)

```

"What for!"

Feeling uneasy under Su Jie’s stare, Ning Xinyue instantly formed a layer of ice crystals over her body, encasing herself inside like a vigilant little squirrel with her big eyes blinking rapidly.

"Are you a turtle or something, always liking to seal yourself in ice?"

Su Jie was amused and laughed, finding the girl quite cautious.

"Don’t think I haven’t figured it out, you just tried to rob me, didn’t you?"

Ning Xinyue puffed up her cheeks, clearly aware of the fable of the child who walks through a noisy market holding gold.

"Nothing of the sort. But speaking of which, how about we cooperate? I’ll help you conceal your identity, and once you locate the exotic treasure, we can dig it up and sell it and split the money."

Su Je suddenly spoke up, proposing a plan of cooperation.

Ning Xinyue paused, pondering seriously.

After a while, Ning Xinyue seemed to have thought it through and nodded, "Alright, let’s do as you say."

But inside, Ning Xinyue was scoffing.

Thinking of sharing the money with her? Once she got hold of the exotic treasure, she would make a quick escape, leaving you to work for nothing.

Especially since the process of digging for the treasure might not go smoothly. With all sorts of complex environments around Ghost Ridge Palace, demons, beasts, and perilous places, it would be good to find a local to lead the way. Su Jie volunteering suited her perfectly.

Little did she know, Su Jie held the same idea, planning to secretly take the exotic treasure and throw it back to Blue Star through the Ancient Mirror, making it impossible for her to track.

Let’s see you deduce the location of Blue Star. Even if the Tianxi Eight Diagrams Plate were ruined, you wouldn’t be able to find it! What do you have to compete with me, little girl?

"That’s settled then."

"Pleasure working with you!"

"Pleasure working with you!"

The two exchanged a smile, apparently burying the hatchet while secretly calculating their own schemes.

"I should be going back."

Ning Xinyue, thinking she’d found a free fighter, didn’t want to stay any longer.

"I’m going back too; you’ve disturbed my sleep all night."

Su Jie also stretched lazily and turned to walk back to his family mansion.

But Su Jie hadn’t gone far when Ning Xinyue, seemingly having a sudden realization, hurried back, grabbed Su Jie’s arm.

"You’re back."

Ning Xinyue extended her right hand in front of Su Jie with a very assertive attitude.

"Back with what?"

Su Jie looked down, feigning innocence.

"My Demolishing Demon Arrow, return it to me."

Ning Xinyue showed her cute little fangs, demanding her treasure with strong momentum.

"What Demolishing Demon Arrow? I haven’t seen it!"

Su Jie was genuinely perplexed, insisting he had never laid hands on the thing.

"You... I clearly saw you take it and hide it in your Storage Bag."

Ning Xinyue stomped her feet angrily, finding this man extremely vexing.

"Oh, that? It’s just compensation for the mental distress you caused tonight. Who asked you to disturb my sleep? I should get some reparation, shouldn’t I?"

"Return it quickly, that treasure is very important to me."

Ning Xinyue glared at Su Jie, cheeks puffed with anger. Although she was very wealthy, the Demolishing Demon Arrow was vital to her.

Since she had run away from home, always searching ancient lands for treasures, she often encountered various Array Formation Restrictions, and without the Demolishing Demon Arrow, she would be at a loss.

Seeing Ning Xinyue’s anxious expression and not wanting their recent cooperative plan to fall through, Su Jie reluctantly chose to give in a little.

"One hundred Mid-grade Spirit Stones."

Su Jie’s concession wasn’t for nothing; he demanded a high price for the redemption.

"At most ten Mid-grade Spirit Stones." Discover stories at My Virtual Library Empire

Ning Xinyue immediately started to bargain.

"Ninety-nine."

"20 pieces."

"98 pieces."

"30 pieces."

"97.5 pieces."

"..."

Ning Xinyue was on the verge of losing her composure, annoyed and angry as she pounded on Su Jie’s chest and said through gritted teeth, "What are you trying to do? Who haggles like this, one piece at a time? You think I picked up these Spirit Stones off the ground?

"Let me tell you, 50 pieces of Mid-grade Spirit Stone tops; don’t think you can extort me..."

"Deal."

Su Jie suddenly agreed, and Ning Xinyue didn’t even have time to react.

"No take-backs."

The next moment, Ning Xinyue took out fifty Mid-grade Spirit Stones and exchanged them for the Demolishing Demon Arrow from Su Jie.

Looking at her smiling face without a hint of heartache, it was obvious that Su Jie’s asking price was still too low.

"If it weren’t for the fact that you’re a partner."

Su Jie felt a twinge of regret; he had considered the bigger picture. This young lady was an outright wealthy lady, and it was a shame to not extort more Spirit Stones when he had the chance.

"Hmph, you scoundrel."

Anxious that Su Jie might find another reason to extort her, Ning Xinyue gave him a cutting glare and then ran off as if flying.

Meanwhile, Su Jie looked at the Mid-grade Spirit Stones in his hand and a smile couldn’t help but spread across his face.

With this, he could advance his breakthrough to the Yunling Realm Seventh Level much sooner.

......

Five days later.

In the practice room of the Su Family Mansion at Ghost Ridge Palace.

Surrounded by Mid-grade Spirit Stones and a large amount of Blood Marrow Crystals, Su Jie sat cross-legged, with the White Bone Tree behind him having grown into a small tree three meters tall.

Most of the Spirit Stones had been drained of their inner Spiritual Energy and turned into ordinary rocks, and the White Bone Tree had nearly exhausted its reserve of Spiritual Energy as well.

But the expenditure wasn’t in vain. All of a sudden, Su Jie let out a long howl. Although the sound was isolated by the Formation, it still shook the air and a surging Spiritual Radiance flowed around him.

Within his meridians, torrents of Spiritual Power broke through various blockages, entering unfamiliar channels and also expanding the capacity for Spiritual Power.

Above Su Jie’s head, the phantom of a white crane circled in the air, emitting clear chirps as if to celebrate Su Jie’s breakthrough.

The Yunling Realm Seventh Level was attained.

Su Jie exhaled deeply, his eyes filled with intense joy.

This time, without relying on the enhancement from the thousand-hand centipede and by cultivating the White Crane Zen Dao, the Enlightenment Returning Ruins Skill, coupled with the Blood Marrow Crystals and the pure energy of the Mid-grade Spirit Stones, plus that little bit of accumulation, Su Jie had made the breakthrough to the Yunling Realm Seventh Level all on his own.

Thousand-Handed Centipede: So love does fade away, right?

It was also the luck that the Thousand-Handed Centipede was in hibernation; otherwise, if it knew what Su Jie was thinking, it would surely rise to protest, fearing for its cherished status.

After ascending to the Yunling Realm Seventh Level, the greatest change was the abundant Spiritual Power within his body, which was at least double that of the sixth level.

His physical body had also been strengthened, his physique even more robust, with the power to throw an elephant with one arm.

However, Su Jie seldom engaged in hand-to-hand combat during fights, or rather, he almost never did.

He preferred to smash people with Magic Artifacts, let bugs bite them, or use laser eyes to burn them to a crisp.

Stepping out with the Ancient Mirror, Su Jie returned to the Blue Star World, planning to check on the progress of his business ventures there.

After arriving back at Jingjiang No.1 Villa, Su Jie didn’t see Liu Yingying.

Only after making a call did he learn that not long ago, she had just completed Mu Hua’s formal takeover of Yikang Company.

She was currently overseeing the final preparations for the market launch of the Tianyuan Hair Growth Liquid, which would be fully introduced to the market tomorrow.

"Today really is a day of double happiness!"

Su Jie’s lips curled into a smile, his confidence in the hair growth liquid absolute.

Once this mysterious side product hit the market, all the other hair loss treatments and hair transplants could be dumped in the trash.

"I’ll soon have a huge cash flow, and then it’s time to continue expanding my breeding ventures. Whether it’s bugs or livestock breeding, I want it all."

Su Jie was eager to proceed, especially with the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. He wanted to upgrade it to the level of 10,000 Yin Souls as soon as possible. When that happened, its might would increase exponentially, which would require a lot of livestock souls, all supported by money.
