Chapter 273 Exchange Price
"Miss Fengjiu, you are too kind..."

Xu Hong nodded and couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him. Due to years of illness, her body was a little thin, not as plump as Chen Qingyuan, but she was graceful and had a different flavor.

No wonder Duan Longping wanted to arrange marriage with her even though he knew she was a sickly girl. Her appearance alone was enough to make countless heroes bow down to her.

Seeing him looking at her, Ye Fengjiu did not avoid him, but straightened her back and said, "Mr. Xu, have you heard of the Longxu Secret Realm?"

Xu Hong shook his head: "What is that?"

Ye Fengjiu said: "It is a special secret realm within the Central Dynasty, which contains opportunities for breakthroughs. Every time it is opened, geniuses and strong men around the kingdom gather here, fearing to miss out. Even the four great empires will send people here! After careful calculation, there are about three months left before the seventeenth opening of this secret realm!"

Xu Hong was puzzled: "An opportunity to break through the extraordinary?"

He had heard of the secret realm, which was a special kind of space usually left by some powerful people. Because no cultivators had entered or exited it for many years, the resources inside were rich and contained countless opportunities. It was a place that many cultivators yearned for. However, places with treasures were also accompanied by huge dangers. If one did not have enough strength to go there rashly, he might not know how he died.

"Yes, I wonder if Mr. Xu is interested in going there?"

Ye Fengjiu asked: "Before, I would not have dared to even think about it. Now, thanks to the Young Master's nourishing spirit pill, my body has completely recovered. It's time to go out for a walk and look around!"

"then you go!"

Xu Hong thought about it and shook his head: "Forget it! I still want to live a few more days..."

The extraordinary realm is a great realm that involves a leap in lifespan. If there is really an opportunity for a breakthrough here, I am afraid I don’t know how many powerful people at the peak of the ninth level of longevity will be attracted to come there.

With his strength, it would be extremely dangerous for him to go there rashly. There is no need to think about it. He has many means but he only has one life.

So… who cares what ruins it is, whoever wants to go can go, but he won’t go! Isn’t it better to save your life quietly? With the Immortality Map in hand, the extraordinary realm may be a chasm for others, but it is nothing to him.

“It’s not that scary actually!”

Seeing his attitude, Ye Fengjiu hurriedly explained: "The Longxu Secret Realm opens once every hundred years. Each time it opens, only cultivators under the age of 30 are allowed to enter. Those over this age will be automatically isolated! Therefore, those powerful people you are worried about will not participate."

"That's also dangerous..."

Xu Hong shook his head again.

Duan Longping, Ye Fenglou, and Han Jiuxi are all under 30 years old, but their cultivation not only exceeds the eighth level of longevity increase, their combat power is also astonishing!

Not to mention anything else, if one really had to fight one-on-one with some ninth-level longevity-increasing cultivators, the latter would definitely be the one to die.

These are just the geniuses of the Central Dynasty. It goes without saying that those of the four great empires are even more powerful!
It is said that there are less than thirty of them, and by that time, strong men in the extraordinary realm may appear.

"This……"

Ye Fengjiu frowned.

Just now I saw him handle the matter of his father’s arrest easily, and I thought he was brave and resourceful. How could he become so cowardly in the blink of an eye?

With a hint of helplessness, he said to Chen Qingyuan: "Such a good opportunity must not be missed. Qingyuan, what about you? Do you want to go and have a look? We can go together..."

Chen Qingyuan shook her head: "Xu Hong is right, this place sounds very dangerous, we definitely can't go there!"

Ye Fengjiu was stunned. Are you two serious?

Turning his head to look at Xu Ying: "What about you?"

Xu Ying: "I listen to Brother Hong. If he goes, I go. If he doesn't go, I don't go."

"All right!"

After taking another look at Xu Hong, Ye Fengjiu realized that this young man was still far from being the "hero" in her mind, and she couldn't help but look disappointed.

I thought he was a fearless and upright man, but after all the fuss, it turns out he is just a coward.

In an instant, the little good impression I had was gone.

Xu Hong and others rushed to Yipinxuan to eat fish and dragon meat, and Cheng Yu also came to the East Palace.

The room had been tidied up at this time. Duan Longping sat on the throne in the middle, revealing the confidence and majesty that showed he was in control of everything.

Seeing him coming, Duan Longping smiled slightly and asked, "Did you tell me the news about Xu Tianfeng?"

Cheng Yu knelt on the ground: "Yes!"

Duan Longping frowned: "What did he say?"

Cheng Yu recalled: "He said he wanted to go to Yipinxuan to eat fish maw meat..."

"..." Duan Longping was stunned.

Your own father has been kidnapped, and instead of thinking about saving him, you’re thinking about eating?

"Tell me in detail everything that happened after you met!"

Duan Longping couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that the other party was unhappy, Cheng Yu gritted his teeth and said hurriedly: "Actually, I didn't say anything, it's just... He knows that Your Highness is kind and righteous, and will definitely not abuse his father. He is also willing to obey Your Highness's orders and cooperate with Your Highness to do anything, but, just..."

Duan Longping waved his hand and asked, "Just what?"

Cheng Yu said: "It's just that... his current cultivation is low, only the sixth level of life extension, let alone the spiritual consciousness realm, I don't know how far he is from the peak! If Your Highness can help him break through, I will naturally go through fire and water without hesitation!"

It's no wonder he lied. If he really said that he went there and not only did he fail to accomplish anything, but he also lost four Soul-Nourishing Pills, he would definitely be chopped to pieces on the spot... Even if he didn't kill the man in front of him, there was no way to cure Xu Hong's poison.

The only solution for now is to have the best of both worlds.

This was also the best solution he could think of along the way.

Duan Longping laughed loudly: "Yes, his cultivation is indeed not high. Since he has submitted to me, I will naturally not treat him unfairly. Of course, he must return the Tianji Crane that he stole from me as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Cheng Yu nodded: "I will ask him for it when I get back..."

Duan Longping: "Well, you did a good job. This is an antidote that can extend your life for three months. In addition, here are 10 Soul-Enriching Pills. As long as he returns the Heavenly Secret Crane, it will be considered a reward from me."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief after taking the pill... He would figure out how to make up for the lie later, so he had to stay alive first!
"Go down, I want to see my Tianji Crane tonight. If you don't see it... you can expect to lose your head!"

Duan Longping waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Cheng Yu shrank his neck and stepped back.

"The Tianji Crane has indeed been stolen... and it seems to be in the hands of the Xu Hong he mentioned!"

The little girl and the middle-aged man in the room still did not leave. Hearing the conversation, the former said with a smile.

"Let's go and take a look. I also want to know what kind of talent Xu Hong has to be able to take the Heavenly Secret Crane from the prince! And by the way, let's see if he is the person we are looking for..."

The middle-aged man stood up.

The two followed Cheng Yu closely, walked out of the palace, and soon arrived at Yipinxuan.

As expected, Xu Hong did not leave. At this time, the fish maw meat had just been placed on the dining table, and the aroma of the meat was overwhelming.

Seeing that this thing was exactly as the young man described and there was no lie, Chen Qingyuan's appetite increased, his eyes narrowed into crescents in excitement, and he immediately started to eat it with relish.

Ye Fengjiu had eaten it many times before and didn't have much appetite.

"Ancestors..."

Cheng Yu came into the room with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Have you told His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Xu Hong took a look at him when he saw him coming.

"Yes!"

Cheng Yu nodded: "If nothing unexpected happens, Patriarch Xu is safe now and will not be abused in the short term..."

"That's good!" Xu Hong nodded.

Xu Ying on the side also felt relieved. He picked up the fish maw meat and put it into the bowl, enjoying it slowly.

The fish maw meat was indeed delicious, especially for Chen Qingyuan. With the high level of spiritual enjoyment, she indeed showed signs of a breakthrough. It seemed that she could reach a higher level at any time.

"Ancestor... it's like this. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to bring you 10 Soul-Enriching Pills. As long as you return the Heavenly Secret Crane you got here last time, I will give you these pills directly..."

His face flushed red from holding it in, Cheng Yu gritted his teeth and told his purpose.

He also wanted to lie and get the things, but the guy in front of him was as smart as a monkey. If he really did that, he would definitely be the one to be cheated...

"Ten Soul-Enriching Pills?"

Xu Hong's eyes lit up.

Although the four Soul-Nourishing Pills were helpful to him, he was still a little short of breaking through to the Spiritual Consciousness Realm. If he added ten more, it would be almost enough!
"Heavenly Crane? Duan Longping's Heavenly Crane is in your hands?"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Ye Fengjiu on the side couldn't help but look over.

"Well, I ate here last time and suddenly flew over, so I just took it!"

Xu Hong pointed his finger, and one white paper crane after another appeared at his fingertips, slowly flying around him.

"It is indeed the Tianji Crane..."

Ye Fengjiu was filled with excitement: "This thing must not be returned! Not to mention 10 Soul-Enriching Pills, even a hundred of them cannot compare to it!"

"So exaggerated?"

Xu Hong looked at him puzzledly.

Ye Fengjiu nodded: "Of course, the Heavenly Secret Crane is the token of the Tide Holy Land. Only by gaining recognition can you have the opportunity to become a disciple of the Tide Pavilion and soar to the sky! Without it, no matter how talented or powerful you are, it will be useless. The Tide Holy Land is a place that countless practitioners want to go. Only by entering here can you be qualified to break through the extraordinary and strive for the highest! This opportunity even surpasses the Longxu Secret Realm."

"This... Miss Ye Fengjiu is a little too exaggerated!"

Cheng Yu's face was filled with embarrassment.

As the crown prince of the Liyuan Dynasty, he naturally knew how precious this thing was, but in order to make the young man in front of him willingly exchange it, he could only say this.

Ye Fengjiu: "What I said is not an exaggeration, it is even higher! And the most important thing is that this thing has spirituality. It found you because it wants to recognize you as its master. Once you give it away, it is equivalent to completely offending you. Even if there are other opportunities, you will not be able to tame other paper cranes!"

Xu Hong was stunned: "Is there such a saying?"

"Yes!"

Ye Fengjiu nodded and couldn't help but sigh: "I know why Duan Longping was willing to take your father hostage even at the cost of damaging the dignity of the royal family. Facing Tianjihe, let alone him, anyone would definitely make the same choice."

"It turns out to be so precious..."

Xu Hong nodded, as if he understood, and looked at Cheng Yu again: "Since Miss Fengjiu said it is so precious, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's offer of 10 Soul-Enriching Pills is a bit too low! At least 50 should be offered!"
