"Such intense hidden aura!" The old man felt suffocated. Although the aura wasn't released, he could feel it and judge how powerful Windgod was.
Take note, the Windgod right now was no more than a mere will left by the true Windgod himself. Yet, the power it had could easily break realms!
The statue that was about to attack stayed put. Since the master arrived, it had no reason to continue. It was only doing its duty after all.
"Pardon my guards, Daoist Friend.." Windgod Perfect Immortal smiled at Jin Rou. His voice was so calm like a passing breeze, "He has a bit of a temper, that's why he's like that."
"No problem." Jin Rou nodded, "You have come out, after all. I can't just not give you face here, can I?"
"Daoist Friend must be joking." Windgod chuckled and shook his head, "But truthfully speaking, I never have expected that someone of your level will visit my humble abode."
"Oh? You can see my strength?" Jin Rou was curious.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"More or less." Windgod smiled, "I've traveled so many worlds during my era, swept through countless realms. I have met people on the same level as you, or just barely weaker."
What he said was true. During his expeditions, he visited many dangerous and forbidden places in search for answers and treasures. And upon traveling, he discovered that he wasn't the strongest. As a matter of fact, he could barely rank in the strongest existences he encountered.
Perfect Immortals were only at a decent level. In the world he entered, they were just the bare minimum in order to survive it. Fortunately, he had a tantamount of experience so he survived until the end.
Unfortunately though, his life had ended because of a single mistake. Nevertheless, he didn't regret anything. After all, he already lived his life to the fullest.
"You're quite capable." Jin Rou had to give it to Windgod. Who among he met had actually seen through so much of his strength? Barely none. But Windgod could, and that was also the reason why he came out immediately.
"So Daoist Friend, what can I do for you?" Windgod never bowed to anyone. Even to those supreme existences he met. However, he still knew some humility and the skills to handle a situation.
"I just want to make a deal, that's all." Jin Rou answered.
"Let's hear it then, Daoist Friend." Windgod might be only a will right now. But he was still strong enough to topple Immortals like Blacklegend.
"I want to have your hidden treasure trove." Jin Rou smirked, "You don't have to hide it. I've discovered it before long."
"With your capabilities, sure you have." Windgod smiled and said, "So since it's a deal, there's something in it for me."
"Exactly. You won't lose in this, so you don't have to worry." Jin Rou chuckled and grabbed an old kettle from his storage. Who knew what kind of kettle was that?
It was a mere kettle in the outside. But when Windgod saw it, his expression changed for the first time and asked, "Daoist Friend, where did you get this item?"
"Just a random treasure I picked from the Mermaids in the Infinite Ocean Region." Jin Rou answered. It was true. However, it wasn't a random treasure as he knew its actual worth. In fact, even the Mermaids knew the worth of it as it was one of the 16 Goldenscale Treasure of their clan!
"I don't know what to say. How did you know that I need this item?" Windgod was speechless for real. He couldn't gauge how the other party thought of this treasure to tempt him.
"Who do you think I am?" Jin Rou smiled, "It's easy for me to deduce and connect things. You want to revive your soul, right? And with this kettle which has the ability to create a soul, you can successfully do it."
"Daoist Friend has exceeded my initial estimates. I am in great amazement." Windgod had to admit it. He was no match against this young in all aspects. Just think about it, Jin Rou was smart enough to accurately guess what he needed and provide an explanation. Who could do it except those supreme apex existences on the same level as him?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJin Rou's group, on the other hand, gasped in amazement. No wonder the young master picked that treasure during his picking process in the Goldenscale Treasury. It was such an item that could make anyone go crazy!
This was the Soul Resurrecting Kettle we're talking! Countless apex existences would fight it out to the bitter end just to get this item! The Clan of Mermaids must be bleeding in pain now that this kettle was now on hands of Jin Rou as a bargaining chip.
"Alright, then. You have my agreement." Windgod was greatly tempted. Who didn't want to be revived once again? He was greatly concerned about the wellbeing of his Wind Gate. He wanted to stay at the gate and look out for them for a little longer.
This single activity could actually cause Windgod almost all his resources except those in the hidden treasure trove.
"I know you know how expensive it will to make this resurrection work." Jin Rou still have to remind the other party, "If you use your Wind Gate's resources, it will be barely enough to succeed."
Windgod smiled wryly. Indeed, this expenditure would be so expensive that he might need to take out all of the resources he accumulated in his lifetime. In fact, it might affect also the resources of his Wind Gate.
Of course, the elders of the gate wouldn't hesitate to cripple their gate by using everything to revive him. He was their forefather, the one they greatly revered!
Windgod got something from his void. It was a black key and handed it over to Jin Rou, "This is the key towards the hidden treasure trove. This is also the key to enter our Wind Gate, so if ever you want to pay them a visit, just show it to them."
Jin Rou accepted the key with a nod, handing over the kettle in exchange.
