Reborn as a girl, I will live forever in the world of immortality

Gui Qi's face darkened, and then he burst into laughter again.

"Haha, you don't think you can threaten me, do you? It would be better if you died, so I wouldn't have to kill you. Then I would definitely cut your body into pieces!"

Facing Gui Qi's threat, He Ling remained calm. If this man really wanted to attack, he would have done it long ago. Why bother to pester He Ling? She didn't believe that he kept her because he was being kind.

Sure enough, after waiting for a while, Gui Qi still did not take any action. He had been here for some time. After all, this was Xuan Yuan's territory. The longer he stayed, the more dangerous it would be.

He Ling was right about one thing. He really needed the soul-nourishing wood. Although the blood ghost technique he practiced was extremely powerful, this kind of evil skill consumed his own lifespan and soul. He really needed a spiritual object that could nourish his soul. This time when he came to Yongcheng, the blood soul vine was not his primary target at all. The soul-nourishing willow was.

That's why he took the risk of waiting so long.

Moreover, the hundred-year-old soul-nourishing willow in He Ling's hand obviously piqued his interest.

Although he could have used the soul-searching technique directly at the beginning, the soul-searching technique had high requirements for the soul, which must be stronger than the soul of the person being searched. The woman's soul was strong, and Gui Qi's soul was very weak at this time because of practicing magic. He was not sure, and was afraid that He Ling was a tough guy who would rather die than surrender, so he did not take action at the first time.

What he didn't expect was that He Ling could see so quickly that what he wanted was the secret of the Soul-Nourishing Willow, and took the initiative to threaten him.

They confronted each other for a while, and Ghost Seven finally spoke up, "How about this: you hand over the Soul-Nourishing Willow and the secret to me, and I'll let you go?"

He Ling snorted coldly, "Humph, I don't trust you!"

Ghost Seven was also filled with anger. He said in a cold tone, "Don't forget your current situation. What qualifications do you have to bargain with me?"

"Tell me quickly, or I'll kill you right now!"

He Ling showed no sign of weakness. "Then just kill me. I will definitely hang myself first. I have also placed a restriction on this Soul-Nourishing Willow. Once I die, it will be burned into a piece of dry charcoal. Then you will get nothing!"

Originally, He Ling didn't have much confidence in her heart, but now the longer time dragged on, the more confident she became. She didn't think that the black-robed monk was a patient person at all. If he could be so patient, the Soul-Nourishing Willow must be very important to him.

This way they had a bargaining chip.

Gui Qi's eyes were red as he stared at He Ling, "So what do you want?"

"Send me to Xuanyuan Gate, and I will give you the Soul-Nourishing Tree and the secret about it."

"impossible!"

If he really arrived at the Xuanyuan Sect, he would have lost several lives. Although he had said it lightly before, for a large sect like the Xuanyuan Sect with an amazing background, he would at most play around with it and would not openly provoke it.

Although he killed the Jindan cultivator of Wanbao Pavilion, Wanbao Pavilion and Xuanyuan Sect were not in a dependent relationship, and Xuanyuan Sect would not help Wanbao Pavilion. In addition, Xuanyuan Sect happened to have transferred a large number of cultivators due to the recent changes in the Qianwu Empire, so he took advantage of this opportunity.

"Then what do you want?"

"Give me the secret and the Soul-Nourishing Willow, and I'll let you go."

"I don't believe you."

"This won't do, and that won't do. Do you really think I'm easy to bully, little brat? Even if I can't get the Soul-Nourishing Willow today, I'm going to kill you first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Eight-foot Ghost King took a step forward. A cold wind blew, and He Ling actually felt a little chill.

Transparent wronged souls kept emerging from the Ghost King's body, emitting bursts of shrill screams, which looked extremely terrifying.

"and many more!"

Ghost Seven sneered, "Why are you begging for mercy now?"

He Ling looked a little panicked. "I can tell you the secret of the Soul-Nourishing Willow first, but you have to promise not to kill me."

Gui Qi's face lit up with joy, and he agreed on the spot, "Okay, I agree, tell me quickly."

"I stumbled upon a blessed place with a giant willow tree. The willow branch I carry with me is a branch from the tree. I suspect it's the Soul-Nourishing Willow, but I've never seen such a spiritual object before. That's why I came to Yongcheng specifically to obtain the Soul-Nourishing Willow and identify it when I return."

"Really?" Gui Qi said with a hint of doubt on his face, "How can you prove it?"

He Ling swallowed, "Look at this section of willow wood. The vitality on it is much richer than the willow branch at auction. If it wasn't picked just a few days ago, how could it have such a rich vitality?"

Gui Qi then looked at the willow wood that He Ling was holding tightly in his hand. As expected, he felt a strong vitality in it. He believed it 70% on the spot.

Then he was filled with ecstasy. Such a thick willow branch was actually just a branch of the willow tree. If it was the real willow tree, what year of soul-nourishing willow was it?

Is it a thousand-year-old soul-nourishing tree? No, the size of this soul-nourishing willow must be at least a hundred-year-old soul-nourishing willow. A thousand-year-old branch can't be this big.

Could it be the Ten Thousand Years Soul-Nourishing Willow?

That's a legendary treasure! As soon as it's born, even Nascent Soul cultivators will fight for it without caring about their image!

Gui Qi's heart was beating wildly. If he had the Ten Thousand Years Soul-Nourishing Willow, his soul disease might even be cured.

He immediately made up his mind to get the Soul-Nourishing Willow.

Although he thought so in his heart, he pretended to be unconvinced on the surface.

"Words are not enough. How can I know you're not lying to me? Unless you take me to see the willow tree first, then I can make a decision."

"If I go there, what if you want to harm me? That place is far away from Xuanyuan Gate."

"So what do you want? I can't let you go until I verify whether what you said is true or not."

He Ling pretended to be thinking, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"How about this? I'll tell you the location, you go find it yourself, and then you let me go."

"How do I know if what you say is true or false?"

"I have a soul contract. Once we sign the contract, we cannot regret it."

A sneer appeared on Gui Qi's lips, "Okay."

He Ling took out a scroll, and she and Gui Qi each dropped a drop of blood into it. The scroll turned into a ray of fire, indicating that the contract had taken effect.

"Come closer, I'll tell you the location."

"No need. Just imprint the location on this jade slip, and I will let you go when the time comes."

He Ling thought about it and nodded with a smile, "Okay."

She took the jade slip, placed it on her forehead, and looked at the Eight-foot Ghost King standing beside her.

"Please put this ghost king away. He looks really scary."

Gui Qi didn't say anything. With a wave of his hand, the Ghost King turned into a dark cloud and was put into Gui Qi's sleeve.

Then He Ling threw the jade slip to Gui Qi.

Gui Qi took the jade slip and burst into laughter on the spot.

"Hahaha, you idiot! Our contract states that I'll let you go if you tell me the location, but I don't know now. Even if I kill you, what can the contract do to me?"

Then, with a look of resentment on his face, he said, "How dare you hurt me, you bitch! I will refine your body into a corpse puppet! I will extract your soul and torture you for eternity!"
