Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1405 – Addicted to Taking Advantage

Alas, not everything would go as one wished.

There would always be accidents!

Soft Peach was one of them.

Qin Yu did not want to kill her by borrowing someone else’s strength. At least not for now.

In such a situation, Qin Yu was not able to give her any indication. If he did, he would be blatantly looking down on the ancient Saints.

So he could only frown and pretend to hesitate. He immediately started thinking of a way to solve this.

Thankfully, before Qin Yu could fall short, a supporting actor jumped to the rescue.

Cough cough. Okay, maybe calling a True Saint a supporting actor was too flippant.

Wind Saint turned stoic as fury burned in his eyes. He spoke sinisterly, “This Crystal Token is ours. Soft Peach, don’t create trouble for yourself!”

Cloud and Rain Saint stepped forward and looked extremely unfriendly and sinister.

Bom –

A loud explosion could be heard as if a huge rock had fallen from the top of a mountain. Wind Saint, who had been standing right in front, groaned as he flew backwards.

“Soft Peach!”

The three Saints shouted angrily. They did not think that this woman would actually attack them.

They put up with Close Saint because they were afraid of his Ghost Path abilities. They then put up with Gentle Spread Saint in light of the bigger picture. But now, there was Soft Peach.

Once, twice but no more. Did they really think the three of us were pushovers! Moreover, this was the last Crystal Token. There was no way they could back off.

Hoo –

An intense wind caused Soft Peach’s long skirt to fly. Her hair flew crazily in the wind and her eyes turned icy. As she looked at the three Saints, she was not panicking at all.

A complicated energy erupted from her body now as if she was slowly turning into a predator and made those around her turn fearful.

The three Saints looked solemn but they had no intention of backing off…there was no way they could!

A huge fight was about to happen.

Close Saint and the Xu brothers watched on. All of them wished that Soft Peach and the three Saints would just fight to their deaths such that they would not need to fight them later on.

But Qin Yu would never let this happen.

The three Saints were extremely important in his list. How could he afford to lose them here…hmph, fine. Qin Yu admitted that he favored Soft Peach.

This was despite the fact that she was fighting the three Saints alone and they were able to reinforce each other's abilities.

Could it be that Soft Peach’s Second Personality left a very strong impression on him? Cough, or rather, did he become scared of her abilities?

Getting scared by a woman…fine it was nothing embarrassing. The one in the palace was also a woman. If he was not scared of her, would he need to go through all this trouble?

He would just admit it!

“Everyone, please calm down and listen to me.” Qin Yu walked in between them and held the Crystal Token up high. This was a lot more effective than just talking. Both sides controlled their auras.

Qin Yu looked at the three Saints before turning to Soft Peach, “Do you really want to go in?”

This was the last chance. You better cherish it!

Clearly, Soft Peach did not understand Qin Yu’s real intentions.

Or perhaps she noticed but chose to ignore.

She was silent for a while before she spoke, “Will you help me?”

There was no start or end to what she said but Qin Yu understood. He immediately frowned and shook his head, not hesitating at all.

Soft Peach’s mouth turned upwards, “Then isn’t it settled? You are not willing to help me so I have to find my own way. I will get that Crystal Token.”

Although the others did not know what they were talking about, they all sensed that these two had a backstory.

A man and woman with a story…damn, anything was possible!

Wind Saint took a deep breath and spoke lowly, “Virtuous Saint, I hope you are aware that if I don’t get the key, I will not sit back!”

That’s right. I am threatening you. You better not make any rash mistakes.

You better keep yourself in check or the three ancient Saints were going to blow up!

Soft Peach chuckled, “The Crystal Token is mine. Whoever wants to fight with me for it shall die!”

She was extremely aggressive.

Qin Yu had always known that she had a bad temper. Back then, she probably only compromised with him.

But now he finally witnessed what her bad temper was like. It was extremely forceful.

If this continued, they would really fight. Qin Yu glared at Soft Peach, “Stop talking, this Crystal Token is for you!”

Boom –

The auras of the three Wind, Cloud and Rain Saints exploded. All six eyes were locked on Qin Yu.

Are you not afraid of us? You gave them to everyone but us. We will let you have a taste of our fury!

Qin Yu lifted his hand, “Wait, why are you all so anxious? I never said that I won’t give you yours after giving her one.”

He flipped open his hand and another Crystal Token appeared.

A fourth one!

The whole atmosphere fell silent.

Feeling everyone’s gazes, Qin Yu coughed lightly, “Well, I had to leave something for myself. I believe that all of you are smart. You will understand, right?”

Understand your head!

At this moment, Close Saint and the Xu brothers looked sinister. A foolish and sullen feeling came over both of them. The happiness they had when they tricked Qin Yu with their trade disappeared.

There was one more than they originally thought…they did not need to be mathematical geniuses to know this. It was not just about this one more piece, this meant that their understanding was wrong.

There were more than three Crystal Tokens…something changed. This change may also mean that there were a lot more!

If this was really the case, then as people who got the Crystal Tokens first, they paid the highest price – at least more than the rest!

Soft Peach’s mouth twitched as she looked at Qin Yu. This man could always surprise her.

Amidst the silence, Qin Yu was unruffled as he clapped his hands and smiled, “Now everyone has something. How great!”

Wind Saint flipped his hand and a broken cloth appeared, full of droplets of blood. He tore it into two, “The blood on this cloth is from a mysterious clan that no longer exists in this world. If you light the blood in critical moments, you will be able to summon a projection of a strong existence. I guarantee that you will be pleased…Virtuous Saint, will you be willing to take this?”

Qin Yu coughed lightly, looking slightly awkward, “Okay!”

Soft Peach blinked, “I don’t have anything.”

Of course, when it came to comparing shamelessness, no one could beat this woman.

“Forget it. It's yours!” Qin Yu massaged his brows. In the end, he still could not think of a way to get rid of Soft Peach.

But this woman was very powerful. She was so powerful that Qin Yu believed she may not die even in this situation.

This was also a way for him to comfort himself.

At this moment, Close Saint and Gentle Spread Saint looked unhappy. As it was, what they thought of became the reality.

But now, no one could be bothered about their feelings.

Wind Saint coughed lightly as he waved the other half of the broken cloth, “There was one thing that I did not explain clearly earlier. I would like to add on. When the projection of the powerful existence is summoned, its ability will depend on how much of the blood is lit.”

He paused before smiling, “So Virtuous Nine, if you still have the Crystal Token, I will happily exchange with you.”

Silence filled the air once more. Everyone looked at Qin Yu as he lifted his hand to rub his nose. Wind Saint, this old man was too scheming, he actually tore open everyone’s wounds and rubbed salt on them…but, I like it!

Qin Yu had intended to send them all in anyway. Even if Wind Saint did not ask, Qin Yu would have offered. So he flipped his hand and another Crystal Token appeared. “Of course. If you are willing, this is yours.” action

Alas, he still had Crystal Tokens!

Close Saint’s mouth twisted as a sinister look filled his eyes. However, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

If he did not see it, he would not be affected…damn it. What a lie! This was such a lie!

Angry, angry, very angry!

Gentle Spread Saint snorted as he felt his chest hurt. If thoughts could kill, Qin Yu would be torn to pieces. But now, he had not choice but to suppress his anger as Gentle Smoke Saint still did not have a Crystal Token.

“Virtuous Nine, give me one more Crystal Token!”

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed and a sixth Crystal Token appeared, “Of course. As long as you are willing to pay the price I will happily exchange with you. But this time, I hope that you will give me something more useful.”

This was an additional request.

His chest ached as he took a deep breath to control his anger. Gentle Spread Saint took out another stone. It was slightly different from the one containing the power of space. This one was completely black like a black cave. When one looked at it, it seemed to draw them in.

“I don’t really know what this is but its value is definitely worth a Crystal Token!”

He offered it. Qin Yu did not feel anything strange so he took it.

Heavy!

Although this black stone was only about as big as a finger, its weight was astounding.

A faint motion could be felt…it was Stone Pagoda.

He did not say anything but this motion was enough to express many things.

Qin Yu stored it and handed the Crystal Token over, “Okay!”

As Rain Saint saw Gentle Smoke Saint take the Crystal Token, he could not sit still as he said, “Virtuous Nine, I want a Crystal Token too.”

Qin Yu blinked, “What if I said that I only had six and handed them all out….hahaha, just kidding. How can I do such a cruel thing? But I really only have one final piece left. I wanted to keep it as a souvenir. What should I do…”

Rain Saint’s eye twitched as he forced himself to smile, “Virtuous Nine, don’t worry, I will give you something that will be to your satisfaction.”

An incredible leaf that could allow cultivators to accumulate Great Dao and increase the power of their Great Dao…these ancient Saints really had all sorts of strange but extremely precious things. They were like moving treasure chests!

Everything had gone so successfully – but now Qin Yu felt like he was addicted to this feeling.

He had handed out seven Crystal Tokens and everyone had one. Now, they were all looking at him as the air fell silent once more.
