Chapter 902: Playing Hard to Get

Putting aside the matter of the lightning sword and shield and the five elements sword spirit for the time being, Xiao Mian began to consider another problem.

If the lightning war spirit in Yue Donghua's hands is only equivalent to the sixth level, then in Xiao Mian's hands, the lightning war spirit is the peak level of the sixth level.

Although Yue Donghua's realm is higher than Xiao Mian's, Xiao Mian's true essence is not comparable to Yue Donghua in terms of quality and quantity.

From this, it can be seen that although Yue Donghua's realm is higher, his combat power may not be strong.

Recalling Yue Donghua's almost angry expression when he deliberately mentioned the "Concentration Pill" before, Xiao Mian made a clear expression.

If Yue Donghua was able to condense his consciousness in the Golden Core Realm with the help of the Concentration Pill, then Yue Donghua reached the top level of the Golden Core at a young age. Did he also use the help of other elixirs or even secret medicines?

What's more, judging from the fact that the four princes of Aodu City are all quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators, I'm afraid Yue Donghua is not the only one who took the Concentration Pill.

Xiao Mian even had some malicious speculation: I'm afraid that among the four young masters, except for the somewhat proud sword cultivator Xue Yingyin, the other three have all taken a lot of pills!

If this is true, it is definitely good news for Xiao Mian!

Although the pills are good, you can't be greedy...

The suspicion in his heart flashed away, and Xiao Mian didn't investigate it deeply.

Anyway, whether Yue Donghua or anyone else takes pills or not has nothing to do with him, Xiao Mian!

That can only mean that Zhongzhou seems prosperous, but it also has its other side of decadence!

After tightening his mind, Xiao Mian abandoned all distractions and practiced hard in peace.

Time passed quietly like water.

In a blink of an eye, several days have passed.

On this day, Xiao Mian woke up from meditation, left the quiet room, and came to the control room of the Bingli Flying Boat - although he had obtained the Yanjing Flying Boat, it would take a lot of time and energy to complete the sacrifice. The rough way of directly using his own true essence to crack it like the lightning sword and shield would have some sequelae.

It was because Xiao Mian didn't like the lightning sword and shield that he was wantonly destroying it.

Xiao Mian naturally didn't want the rock crystal flying boat that he had cheated with great difficulty to be damaged.

That was why everyone was still using the ice glass flying boat all the way.

When Xiao Mian entered the control room, the other three were already there. Even Qing Jing was standing upright on the table like a human being, just like a rat spirit.

Xiao Mian didn't care, anyway, he didn't treat Qing Jing as a monster...

Nodding to Yin Jiansheng and others, Xiao Mian waved his hand, and a jade slip and a storage bag appeared on the table.

The jade slip was the gift from Lu Yunxi that day.

The storage bag was what Xiao Mian was going to use to exchange with the King Kong Sword Ape.

Although things might not develop as Xiao Mian expected, he always had to make the most thorough preparations in advance.

Otherwise, if the King Kong Sword Ape really agreed to exchange the sword inheritance, and the things the four people took out in a hurry didn't suit the King Kong Sword Ape's appetite, wouldn't he vomit blood?

Out of curiosity, Kong Yuanren opened the storage bag.

As soon as he saw what was inside, Kong Yuanren was already prepared, and he couldn't help showing a shocked expression.

After getting Xiao Mian's consent, Kong Yuanren poured out the contents of the storage bag.

Nine flying swords!

Nine mid-level magic flying swords!

Amidst the clanging sound, Jing Chu and Yin Jiansheng were also shocked and speechless.

Xiao Mian, is he planning to make a deal with the King Kong Sword Ape? Or is he planning to kill the King Kong Sword Ape directly with these nine mid-level magic flying swords?

"Brother Xiao! This... this is too expensive!"

Kong Yuanren, looking at the nine flying swords on the table, felt distressed and painful.

Thinking about his Gentleman Sword, it was only a mid-level magic weapon, but it had already satisfied Kong Yuanren - this Gentleman Sword was not Kong Yuanren's private property, but was selected from the secret library by the Confucianists for Kong Yuanren to come to Chu County for training.

Kong Yuanren also knew that Xiao Mian was rich, but this time, Xiao Mian calmly took out nine mid-level magic flying swords that were almost as powerful as his Gentleman Sword. This made Kong Yuanren somewhat unable to adapt, and his mind was confused for a while.

"For all monsters, the most important thing is the power of blood. When fighting with humans, most of them rely on instinct or use the organs of their bodies to refine monster weapons. However, the monsters' weapon refining skills are generally low, even terrible. But this Vajra Sword Ape is an outlier among monsters. It has a very different spirituality and is similar to humans. It is proficient in swordsmanship but has no weapons. If you want to make the Vajra Sword Ape tempted and make concessions, it is necessary to cater to its preferences!"

"But this... this is too..."

"You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child!" Xiao Mian interrupted Yin Jiansheng's hesitation and explained: "These things originally belonged to the Panlong City Jindan cultivators who we killed together in Bingjing Village. They are not of good quality! I don't like them, but it's a bit of a hassle to sell them. It's better to do a favor!"

Xiao Mian's words finally dispelled the hesitation of the other three.

Looking at those flying swords again, they really looked familiar, so the three of them didn't say anything.

Calculating the distance, Yixinren was not far from the mountain where the King Kong Sword Ape was. At that moment, the four people and one beast walked out of the Bingli Flying Boat.

After swallowing the Canglang Black Crystal Snake last time, Qingjing's fighting spirit has been very high, so that even when Xiao Mian repeatedly asked it to enter the Four Phases Bracelet, it refused.

In desperation, Xiao Mian hid the little guy in his sleeves.

After taking out the jade slip given by Lu Yunxi, Xiao Mian looked around and confirmed his location again, then led the other three people and sneaked away.

Before he could walk more than a hundred miles, Xiao Mian's heart moved.

It was Guitou, who used his spiritual consciousness to transmit a message to him.

Following Guitou's guidance, Xiao Mian resisted the urge to turn around, and just turned his back to a dense jungle and used the Spirit-Seeing Eye.

The invisible dotted lines reflected the situation in the bushes back to Xiao Mian's mind in detail...

Soon, Xiao Mian found the creature hidden in the bushes.

It was a golden ape half a person's height, hiding in the depths of the bushes, carefully watching the four people.

Vajra Sword Ape?

No!

It is rumored that an adult Vajra Sword Ape is about ten feet tall. Moreover, although apes are not as human-like as monkeys, they still have some human frames. If it is really an adult Vajra Sword Ape, how could it not be able to transform, but appear in the original form of a Vajra Sword Ape?

Could it be that this is actually a Vajra Sword Ape cub! ?

When thinking of this, even Xiao Mian, who was of such a temperament, could not help but twitch his eyebrows.

Back then in the Dragon and Tiger Pond, a sixth-level jade-toothed rock elephant cub had once made the spiritual monk Benchu ​​mortal excited. Now this Vajra Sword Ape cub is two levels higher than the sixth-level jade-toothed rock elephant. If Benchu ​​were here, wouldn’t he be jealous?

No matter what, it’s right to trap the Vajra Sword Ape cub first!

Tightening his mind, Xiao Mian pretended not to feel it and took another step.

But the moment he raised his foot, the Star Magnetic Sword, the Sun and Moon Swords, and even the Five Spirit Swords, a total of eight flying swords, came out in full force.

Each of the eight flying swords guarded a position, surrounding the bushes where the Vajra Sword Ape cub was.

The little sword ape was quite clever. When it saw the eight swords surrounding it, it flew up into the sky, intending to escape.

However, a burst of five-colored spiritual light passed by, and the little sword ape fell into the encirclement of the Five Spirit Wall, and was wrapped into a ball by the Five Spirit Wall...

"Squeak! Squeak! You... bad guy!"

The little sword ape saw that it could not break through the abnormal defense network of the Five Spirit Wall, but it was not too panicked. It just stared at Xiao Mian and finally spoke human words.

Bad guy? Ha!

I am used to being called a bad guy by my own kind, but being called a bad guy by a monster beast is a new thing for me!

Xiao Mian simply teased the little sword ape while laughing and crying.

"Little guy! Since you say I am a bad guy, I will do bad things!"

"Bad... bad guy... you are bad!"

Although the little sword ape can say the word "bad guy", it is obvious that its vocabulary is not large. Over and over again, it is just scolding Xiao Mian as a bad guy.

Shaking his head, Xiao Mian put away his joking expression.

"I didn't mean to catch you on purpose, but since you were spying on me, I wanted to teach you a lesson! This time you ran into a 'bad guy' like me. If you ran into some 'good guys', I'm afraid you would have been eaten alive!" As he spoke, Xiao Mian put away the Five Spirit Wall and smiled at the alert little sword ape: "Little guy! Go back!"

"You... are not a bad guy? Squeak!"

After looking at Xiao Mian deeply, the little sword ape finally escaped.

Seeing this, Yin Jiansheng and the other two looked at Xiao Mian in confusion.

The group came to find the location of the King Kong Sword Ape. After finally discovering the whereabouts of the little sword ape, Xiao Mian let it go.

This is not like Xiao Mian's usual style...

"The little guy is far from adulthood! Not to mention condensing the sword pill, I'm afraid that even the sword inheritance of the King Kong Sword Ape lineage has not been fully awakened! It's okay to capture him! However, to train the little guy to a point where he can be of great use, the energy and time spent in the process may not be what we can afford at present. In this case, it's better to..."

"Play the long game and catch the big fish?"

"Old Kong! It's rare that your wooden head is getting more and more open! That's right! Our goal has always been the sword inheritance of the King Kong Sword Ape!"

While explaining, Xiao Mian followed the traces left in the air after the little sword ape left, and followed it from a distance...

After a moment, a small hill was in sight.

When Xiao Mian and the other four walked to the foot of the hill, there was already a middle-aged scholar in his forties waiting halfway up the hill.

The scholar was seven feet tall, with a straight face, a golden shirt, and clean sleeves.

If I guessed correctly, this man was the father of the little sword ape, and the adult diamond sword ape that Xiao Mian and others were looking for.

Apparently, the little sword ape had returned to his residence.

I just don't know if this golden monk took the initiative to greet him with ill intentions or if he was willing to take the bait...
