Land Sword Immortal: Eighty Years as the Guardian of the Sword Pavilion

Chapter 226 – You’re dreaming! Impossible! I’d rather die

"So, are you planning to completely eradicate me?" The old monk said helplessly.

Meng Fan shook his head, "I won't kill you. I just need you to leave my body."

"I've already told you, if I leave your Sea of Consciousness, this wisp of my remnant soul won't withstand the external world's pressure and will dissipate into nothingness!" The old monk glared at Meng Fan.

"You tried to possess me. Not killing you and letting you fend for yourself is already merciful!" Meng Fan's face was expressionless.

The old monk was so furious that his remnant soul trembled, as if it could explode at any moment.

If that's the case, why did you waste so much time talking nonsense with me?

Isn't this just torture?

This is simply too much!

But at this moment, the old monk couldn't even muster his anger anymore.

A person under the eaves has no choice but to bow their head.

He could only submit.

"I can guarantee, I can swear, that I won't harm you!" The old monk had lowered his stance to the lowest.

Meng Fan shook his head, "If swearing worked, there wouldn't be so many treacherous people in this world."

"Then what do you want?" The old monk was full of helplessness.

"Now, you have only one way to live!" Meng Fan said.

"What way?" The old monk looked at Meng Fan.

Meng Fan's thoughts moved.

A green light flashed, appearing in Meng Fan's Sea of Consciousness.

It was Xiao Qing's soul!

"Huh, a Flood Dragon's soul?"

The old monk's face showed shock.

"Four claws and three toes, this... this is the posture of a true dragon!"

Normally, Flood Dragons have two claws and three toes. Xiao Qing was special, having four claws and three toes.

"You, boy, have so many opportunities, it's as if you have a divine destiny!"

The old monk wasn't flattering but genuinely felt this way.

Meng Fan ignored the old monk's shock, his face calm.

"Xiao Qing and I have a contract. If I fall, it will die too. We share life and death.

If you want to live, you need to be like it. Only then will I be completely assured and believe you!"

The old monk immediately raged, "You want me to entrust my life to you?

In your dreams!

Impossible!

I'd rather die than agree!"

***

Moments later, the contract was completed.

"Meng Benefactor, now you should believe me, right? If something happens to you, I will also perish. From now on, not only will I not harm you, but I will also have to do my utmost to protect you!" The old monk had a look of utter despair.

However, he could finally live.

Better a bad life than a good death!

If he had any backbone, he wouldn't have been lingering in the relic for so many years.

"Senior, with your sincerity, I naturally believe you." Meng Fan said with a sincere smile, no longer showing any of his previous coldness.

Even his address became polite instantly.

This change of attitude left the old monk a bit caught off guard, and he couldn't help but marvel in his heart: This boy will definitely achieve great things!

"Meng Benefactor is truly... a promising young man."

"Senior, you mentioned Spirit Stones earlier. How many Spirit Stones would it take to fully restore my Divine Soul?" With the matter resolved, Meng Fan directly got to the point.

The old monk thought for a moment, "At least ten thousand Spirit Stones!"

Ten thousand Spirit Stones?

Meng Fan frowned. He only had four thousand Spirit Stones in total, not even half of what was needed!

"Old monk, you said you needed Spirit Stones to recover. Are you inflating the numbers?"

The old monk quickly explained, "Meng Benefactor, please don't misunderstand. Extracting spirituality from Spirit Stones is not easy.

As for me, although I need to use the spiritual power in the Spirit Stones to enhance my soul, it doesn't conflict with spirituality. We both get what we need."

Meng Fan nodded, no longer doubting.

In any case, let's see how effective it is first.

"By the way, in your current state, you can't leave my Sea of Consciousness. How can you access the Spirit Stones?"

"Just put the Spirit Stones into that relic, and I will find a way to absorb them."

Meng Fan tentatively placed a top-grade Spirit Stone into the relic, letting the old monk test it out first.

One top-grade Spirit Stone was equivalent to a hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.

If it worked, he would continue to invest.

If it didn't work, well...

Finally, Meng Fan didn't forget to instruct the old monk to teach Hong Qi the method of soul cultivation diligently.

Thus, the negotiation with the old monk came to an end.

***

In the room of the Sword Pavilion, Meng Fan's body lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with some fatigue.

Although there was no thrilling battle, this "battle" with the old monk was quite exhausting.

Fortunately, the results were fruitful, a big gain!

"Master, I helped you a lot this time, didn't I?" Xiao Qing climbed onto Meng Fan's pillow and said to Meng Fan.

Meng Fan turned his head, immediately showing a look of disdain, and flicked Xiao Qing onto the ground.

"Even if you helped, you can't climb onto my pillow. Get off!!"

Xiao Qing said aggrievedly, "I'm not dirty."

As a high-level spirit beast, its body was absolutely spotless and odorless.

But Meng Fan didn't care about that. No one was allowed on his bed!

"Master, the lotus flower you gave me last time, I've finished it." Xiao Qing, thrown to the ground, wasn't angry and still wore a smiling face.

Clearly a small snake (Flood Dragon), it could make extremely human-like expressions.

"If it's finished, it's finished. I'm not a lotus farmer. Do you expect me to give you another one?" Meng Fan said irritably.

"Master, you do have another one!

Have you forgotten? When you counted the spoils from the Demon Realm, there was a complete lotus flower.

Anyway, you don't need the lotus for cultivation now. Considering I just helped you, could you reward it to me?" Xiao Qing said, fawning.

Meng Fan thought for a moment and realized he had indeed forgotten.

In the female fox demon's storage bracelet, there was indeed another identical lotus flower.

"You said last time you hit a bottleneck and needed the lotus for cultivation. I gave you the remaining lotus. How is your cultivation now?" Meng Fan asked Xiao Qing, starting to check the progress.

Xiao Qing quickly replied, "Master, I've broken through that bottleneck, but now I've encountered another one. If you give me that lotus, I can break through this bottleneck too."

Meng Fan laughed.

"At the rate you're hitting bottlenecks, my resources won't be enough for you.

The Transformation Realm of the demon tribe is a major realm, equivalent to crossing both the Condensing Elixir and Summoning God realms of the human tribe.

What level have you reached now?"

Xiao Qing's realm was difficult to break through and could take decades or even centuries.
