Beauty and the Bodyguard
3918 Ten-thousand-year tree crystal
"In a battle like this, not only did you manage to obtain the final victory, but you also managed to increase your strength by a large margin. You're considered a rare monster among human cultivators. In the past hundred years, only one person has managed to achieve this. Your performance is comparable to that Gongyang Jie. I didn't watch this show in vain." GUI Mei's voice was full of praise.
"Gongyang Jie? He came here before?" Lin Yi's heart jumped.
Even though Gongyang Jie, the master of the law enforcement Hall, had not interacted much with him so far, he had a feeling that he would have to compete with this top figure of the young generation of the three pavilions in the future.
They didn't cross paths now only because Lin Yi's Foundation was still too shallow and his level was too low. He was far from being in Gongyang Jie's eyes.
"Well, this is a rare guy who has left a deep impression on me. I can still remember his name even now. Speaking of which, what's your name?" The ghost-like voice suddenly asked.
"Lin Yi," Lin Yi didn't hide anything,"Can you give me the two thousand-year tree crystals now?"
"Hehe, they're both equally impatient!" The ghost-like voice laughed strangely and said,""Don't worry, I won't go back on my word for just two thousand year tree crystals. But before that, do you want to play another game?"
"What do you mean?" Lin Yi said with squinted eyes.
"What I mean is, since the opportunity is so rare, wouldn't it be a waste to let you go after only playing a game?" As the ghostly voice sounded, the ground started to move again. Like the mirror puppet before, another human-like puppet came out, but this time it wasn't Lin Yi's mirror image. It had no face or expression.
"Thousand-year tree crystal!" Looking at the two dark green crystals in the hands of the puppet, Lin Yi's eyelids twitched. He'd seen the picture book Shangguan LAN 'er brought him on the way here, and these were the thousand year tree crystals he was looking for.
The faceless puppet weighed the two thousand-year-old tree crystals in its hands, and a ghostly voice sounded from its body. "Let's use these two thousand-year tree crystals as a bet. If you win, I'll give you a treasure that's far more valuable than the thousand-year tree crystals. You can't refuse it. How about it?"
"What treasure?" Lin Yi asked without changing his expression, but he was secretly wondering if this faceless puppet was the real thing.
The faceless puppet laughed and threw the two thousand-year-old tree crystals to the side. He reached out and dug out a piece of charred wood from the heart."This is it. The 10000-year tree crystal."
Ten-thousand-year tree crystal! Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word.
A thousand-year-old tree crystal was already a very rare heavenly treasure, while a ten-thousand-year-old tree crystal could only be produced by an ancient tree that was at least ten thousand years old!
Ancient trees that could live for such a long time were extremely rare. There were probably only a few species in the world.
The older one was, the more likely they were to be targeted by human cultivators and other powerful spirit beasts because of natural treasures. The number of ancient trees that could live safely for more than ten thousand years was very few, not only in the back mountain, but also in other places. Not to mention, the vast majority of them were unable to produce tree crystals.
The 10,000-year tree crystal was extremely rare. If the piece of charred wood in this guy's hand was really a 10000-year tree crystal, its value would not be lower than that of a star inkstone!
"A thousand-year tree crystal can only give a weapon a chance to upgrade its grade once, but a 10000-year tree crystal can give you at least three chances, or even more. You can get a 10000-year tree crystal by betting two thousand-year tree crystals. If you miss this opportunity, you may not have another one in the future." The faceless puppet held the piece of burnt wood in its hand as it tried to tempt Lin Yi.
To his surprise, Lin Yi didn't even bat an eye. He extended his hand,""Throw the two thousand year tree crystals to me."
"What?" The faceless puppet paused, but it still did not give up."This is a genuine 10000-year-old tree crystal. Will you really be happy to let it go?"
Lin Yi was still unmoved,"don't you think you're being a little naggy? if you don't want to go back on your word, then give me the two thousand-year-old tree crystals. As for the ten thousand-year-old tree crystal, it's not within my ability. I won't even dream about it."
"Oh? I admire you more and more for being able to remain so calm in the face of the temptation of the 10000-year tree crystal. " The faceless puppet laughed strangely and praised. Then, it suddenly paused and its tone became extremely cold."What if I say no? what are you going to do?"
"If that's the case, then there's no other way." Lin Yi's face didn't show any signs of panic, as if he'd been prepared for this.
He didn't completely trust this guy from the start-he didn't even know what his real body was. It'd be stupid if he trusted him without any reservations.
"Hehe, you've already accepted reality? That's right, a smart guy like you should have already realized that the rules of this place can only be made by me. Since I made the request, then whether you're willing or not, you can only do as I say in the end, or there's only one end. " The faceless puppet laughed sinisterly.
"If I don't do as you say, I'll be killed by you in the end. It's rare to see a self-talking guy like you." Lin Yi smiled coldly. He could use the Jade space to take the tree crystal, but if he didn't do as this guy said, he'd still die.
"Don't be so mean. You can use two 1000-year tree crystals to fight for a 10000-year tree crystal. If this opportunity were to be given to someone else, it would be a great opportunity! Hurry up and recover, I won't hold back later, I can't wait to start the game!" The puppet had no face, but Lin Yi could clearly feel the sinister smile on its face.
A moment later, Lin Yi seemed to have almost fully recovered. The faceless puppet spoke up,"If you win, you'll get the 10000-year tree crystal. If you lose, you'll have nothing. The game begins!"
The faceless puppet's body flashed and appeared above Lin Yi's head.
So fast! Lin Yi didn't even have time to react before he was hit.
The mirror puppet that Lin Yi had faced before was still at the peak of the early to mid Foundation Stage. Even if it was stronger than this, it was still within Lin Yi's capabilities.
But this faceless puppet in front of him-even if it wasn't the real thing, it was at least an existence that had a portion of its consciousness poured into it. Lin Yi couldn't even tell how strong it was, let alone deal with it. (To be continued.) "If you like this work, you're welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
