Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 998 The Transaction

Upon hearing the voice, Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu turned their heads at the same time.

Before long, the two saw a figure in the distance reaching out a hand from among the corpses!

What Ye Qing found strange was that this person's appearance was not much different from those mummies.

Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu were both startled.

"Help me...help me!" the man cried out in despair. As he spoke, he tugged at a package among the corpses, but he seemed to be completely exhausted and was unable to pull the package out at all!

"A living person?" Lin Qianyu asked with slight surprise.

The two quickly approached. They could indeed sense the life force emanating from this person, but because his appearance seemed to have been drained by the power here, he was now in an extremely bizarre state, resembling a dried-up corpse.

"Are you alive?" Ye Qing asked, his eyes narrowed.

"Yes!" the man said weakly, "Please, save my life, I... I can give you my treasure, everything in here is what I obtained."

He pointed to the package and said in a hoarse and weak voice, "You can check it, please give me a Rejuvenation Pill!"

Looking at his clothes, Ye Qing realized that he didn't seem to be from the Heavenly Court.

Ye Qing looked him over, and Lin Qianyu tugged at Ye Qing, who then picked up the package.

The package wasn't too big. Ye Qing opened it and found a dagger, some miscellaneous books and ores, including two or three Heaven-level combat techniques.

It seems to be of decent value.

And the dagger looked to be of high quality.

Ye Qing pondered for a moment, then flipped his right hand and took out a Rejuvenation Pill.

He put the package away and then placed the Rejuvenation Pill into the other person's mouth!

"Thank you, thank you!" The man's face, which looked like a dried-up corpse, showed a grateful expression, but his appearance was truly somewhat eerie.

Ye Qing and Lin Qianyu quickly distanced themselves from this person.

As soon as the Rejuvenation Pill entered his mouth, a vigorous life force quickly filled his body.

His body began to recover at a visible speed, and after a few minutes, he looked like a handsome young man.

Moreover, judging from his aura, he was actually a mid-stage Immortal Realm expert.

After about ten minutes, the person had absorbed a large amount of energy and finally recovered considerably.

"Are you from the Heavenly Court?" Ye Qing asked.

Among the participants in this battle of geniuses, only the Heavenly Court possesses an immortal-level expert; there are none elsewhere.

Therefore, when he exuded the aura of immortality, Ye Qing immediately sensed that he was from the Heavenly Court, and at the same time, a look of vigilance appeared on his face.

"I am not from the Heavenly Court!" the man said with a bitter smile. "I am just..."

At this point, he sighed and said, "I stumbled into this place and saw endless corpses. I thought there must be many secret manuals and treasures among these corpses. I searched around, but I didn't find much. I only found a dagger and the Heaven-level combat techniques I gave you!"

"But I was lucky. During my search, I encountered some great opportunities. I actually broke through to the Immortal Realm in one fell swoop. And as time went by, I found that I couldn't control my body at all. At the moment of my breakthrough, the energy here was constantly draining the life force from my body!"

He gave a bitter laugh and said, "If I hadn't met you two, I might not have even made it to tomorrow!"

Ye Qing remained noncommittal about his words.

"By the way, what are your names?" the man asked again.

Ye Qing said, "That's not important. We're just strangers who met by chance, and it's just a transaction."

“That’s true!” the man said. “By the way, you should leave this place quickly, because even immortals probably can’t hold out here for long.”

Ye Qing ignored him and instead asked, "Have you seen a huge stone tablet in this place?"

"A stone tablet?" The man paused for a moment before saying, "I have seen this before."

"Could you tell us the directions?" Lin Qianyu asked.

The man hesitated for a moment before saying, "As a token of my gratitude, I'll take you there! Please follow me!"

Ye Qing shook his head and said, "You just need to tell us the direction!"

The man paused again, nodded, and then pointed in a direction in the distance, saying, "It's over there!"

"Thank you!" Ye Qing said, and then he quickly followed Lin Qianyu and left the place.

As the two left, the man narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "It was actually Ye Qing, and the woman next to him is so stunning, she's most likely his wife, Lin Qianyu. My things aren't so easy to take!"

As he said this, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he quickly walked in another direction.

Ye Qing was actually somewhat wary of what this person was saying.

He didn't want to take any risks!

Whether what he said was true or false, it didn't matter to him as long as he knew the direction of the stone tablet. Even if he was a person from the Heavenly Court, he would have to go out and find other people before coming back. He had probably already met up with Jiang Shengyu and the others and left this place!

The two continued onward, crossing endless corpses. After about three or four hours, Ye Qing and the others found a stone tablet standing at the bottom of a huge pit.

Ye Qing's mental energy quickly covered the area.

Sure enough, he spotted Jiang Shengyu and Su Liuyun in front of the stone tablet.

But besides the two of them, there was a man and a woman over there, staring blankly at the stone tablet, as if they were thinking about something!

“They’re down there!” Ye Qing said to Lin Qianyu.

Lin Qianyu's expression brightened, and the two quickened their pace, walking rapidly along the deep pit towards the stone tablet below.
