"Step aside, I'm going to go out with him in a blaze of glory!" the elder shouted loudly once more, his tone filled with determination, a look of heroic resignation as if the cold winds howled and the Yi River chilled, a warrior gone never to return.

Seeing this, everyone knew that persuading him was futile, so with heavy hearts, they retreated further away.

Lord Dog, Liang Jiuxiang, and the others upon seeing this, suddenly felt bewildered.

They all pulled back.

But should they themselves pull back, too?

They had orders from their boss to retreat, but Qin Feng didn't say anything about them retreating...

So, to retreat or not to retreat?

Everyone anxiously looked toward Qin Feng for guidance.

At that moment.

Qin Feng remained composed and said to the elder, "Honestly, this won't be of much use against me. Although my 'Qin Martial Tai Chi' isn't strong enough to withstand the power of the Instantaneous Explosion Pearl, my Human Emperor Step can get me out of the blast range in an instant. How do you plan to blow me up?"

At the end of his words.

The elder was immediately taken aback!

That's right!

He knew Human Emperor Step and could instantly run far away; if he didn't ambush Qin Feng, he wouldn't be able to blow him up at all!

After coming to his realization, the elder instantly fell into despair.

Even Mutual Destruction was not achievable.

Truly, he was now left without a shred of hope...

"Ahhhh——!!!" The elder cried out in extreme grief, shouting to the heavens.

His mournful cry echoed across the valley, enough to make the birds in flight weep.

"Alright, that's enough." Qin Feng waved his hand and said, "How about this, you give me the Instantaneous Explosion Pearl, and I might help you out."

"You?" The elder was momentarily taken aback, "You mean, I give you the Instantaneous Explosion Pearl, and you'll turn them over to me? Or give me money?"

"No, no." Qin Feng waved his hand again, saying, "I can help you deal with the Supreme Sect."

Upon hearing this, the elder shook his head and said, "I admit you are powerful, but it's impossible for one person to take on an entire sect."

"Believe me, I can help you." Qin Feng said.

"..." The elder still looked unconvinced. This chapter was made possible by the community at *.

Qin Feng, feeling somewhat helpless, added, "Well, let me ask you, you've traveled a long distance from Qinling here, what for?"

"Money." The elder bluntly stated, "Right now, we urgently need Elixirs, weapons, Magic Artifacts, and so on. Only money can buy these things."

Hearing this, Qin Feng pointed to Liang Jiuxiang and the others, telling the elder, "They are indeed very wealthy, but that's the value of their assets, not cash. You need funds urgently, so you have to force them to liquidate their assets quickly. If they can sell off half their assets within a month, that would be pretty good. Roughly estimating, the six families combined would probably only have about seven or eight hundred billion at most..."

"Seven or eight hundred billion?! That much money?!" The elder's eyes immediately lit up.

His Grandmaster subordinates had returned by now and said, "That's amazing, I thought if we had three or four hundred billion, we'd be over the moon..."

"..." Qin Feng saw them with their eyes shining and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

What he meant was "at most" seven or eight hundred billion, meaning it wasn't a lot of money.

But these Grandmasters were so ecstatic even over three or four hundred billion.

In other words.

Just a moment ago, a Sixth Grade Grandmaster was about to sacrifice himself for merely three or four hundred billion, that's just too poor...

"Cough cough, here's the thing, your goal was to desperately get three or four hundred billion, right? What do you plan to purchase with this three or four hundred billion?" Qin Feng asked further.

"The Taiji Yuan Sheng Pill for healing, the Bone Refining Pill for power enhancement, the Burst Body Pill that multiplies one's strength in a short period of time, along with some Heavenly Rank Divine Weapons, and supportive combat-use items like the Gale Spirit Talisman, Poison Rain Talisman, and so on." One of them said.

"Surely, we can only buy a little bit of these, right?"

Qin Feng felt embarrassed.

Not to mention anything else.

The three elixirs they spoke of were all his own creations; he had not expected them to be so popular.

"As far as I know, just the Taiji Yuan Sheng Pill alone costs two or three billion each!"

Qin Feng added.

"Two or three billion?!"

One of them said, "Where do you buy them for two or three billion? That's so cheap! The channels we find are asking for four or five billion each! And it's still in limited quantities..."

"Uh..."

Qin Feng was utterly bewildered.

He had not expected the price for the Taiji Yuan Sheng Pill to have soared so high; it seems he would have to produce more later on.

"Well, let's just go with five billion each!" Qin Feng said, "You guys came here, risking your lives for four hundred billion; if it's exchanged for Taiji Yuan Sheng Pills, that means you're risking your lives just for eight pills. Do you think it's worth it?"

"How could it not be worth it? These elixirs can restore one to their peak condition at critical moments in battle! If we could have our Sect Leader of Xingluo Peak, all the Great Elders, and protectors use them, it would greatly enhance our combat power, which is just what we need right now!"

"Moreover, we can also buy some Burst Body Pills, which could grant those who originally lack strength the power of a Grandmaster in a short time, also increasing our immediate combat power!"

Another person chimed in.

Qin Feng grew more and more confused.

He could now be sure of one thing—the renowned Xingluo Peak, one of the three major powers of Qinling, was on the brink of ruin!

At this rate, being annihilated was only a matter of time.

"In that case, I'll spare you the small talk."

Qin Feng immediately took out eight Taiji Yuan Sheng Pills from the Nayu Ring and handed them over, saying, "With this, your purpose for coming here is accomplished, right?"

The elder and others, gazing at the eight elixirs, were immediately stunned to the point of gaping in awe!

Such valuable elixirs.

He has just put them directly into their hands—the very supplies Xingluo Peak urgently needed!!

Upon regaining their senses, the elder immediately stuffed the Instantaneous Explosion Pearl into Qin Feng's hand, as if afraid that he would change his mind about the trade, saying, "It's a deal, it's a deal!!"

Qin Feng put away the Instantaneous Explosion Pearl, feeling he had made a great profit.

In ordinary times, a Magic Artifact like the Instantaneous Explosion Pearl was considered priceless and could be used as a trump card.

However, for Xingluo Peak, it couldn't enhance their own combat power; thus, they temporarily considered this type of consumable item as not very useful, certainly not as valuable as healing medicine.

On the other hand.

The rare medicinal materials needed to produce a single Taiji Yuan Sheng Pill amounted to only a few hundred thousand.

Even if he gave them several more, it would not be a loss.

Seeing their overjoyed expressions, Qin Feng sighed and shook his head, then said, "I am willing to trade with you not just for the sake of trading, do you understand that?"

"We don't understand."

The elder and the others shook their heads in unison.

Qin Feng felt embarrassed, and said, "I am proving that what I just said wasn't empty talk. I just said I could help you eradicate the Supreme Sect, you don't think that with a few more healing medicines, you can turn defeat into victory, do you?"

"..."

Listening to his words, the elder and the others couldn't help but exchange looks.

He was right.

Obtaining healing medicine could only stabilize the situation slightly, but it wouldn't lead to victory.

Especially now, with the trend toward defeat.

A few elixirs couldn't turn the tide of battle.

"So, how about I help you?"

Qin Feng said.

The elder and others looked at each other and asked, "Why do you want to help us?"

"Of course, pies don't just fall from the sky." Qin Feng said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You also need to do something for me."
