Chapter 218: The Exchange for a Thousand-Year Demon Core

"Master, how did you get injured?"

"Can you not tell? It’s bitten by a snake."

The wound was so obvious.

"If Senior Brother finds out, who knows how heartbroken he will be."

Xu Feng examined it while worrying that Ye Shiyuan might see it.

After Bai He finished applying the medicine, he said, "Shiyuan is not here. How would he know?"

"Master, when you went later, why did you not call me?"

"That was something that happened later. Xiao Feng, help me with something."

"Hm?"

Bai He thought for a moment before speaking, "I need something right now. Do you have a way to get it for me?"

"Master, you are overestimating me. If you cannot get something within the Lingguang Sect, how could I possibly get it?"

Bai He did not care and simply said, "A thousand year demon core."

He spoke those words directly, earning an extremely shocked expression from Xu Feng.

"A thousand year demon core? Master, what do you want that for?"

Bai He leaned on the table and his legs swinging back and forth under the chair.

The place where he had applied the medicine felt cool.

It was actually quite comfortable.

"It is not for me. It is for it." Bai He pointed at the Sky Cutting Sword placed on the table, still unable to understand why it wanted such a thing.

"This..." Xu Feng seemed to be thinking about something.

Bai He held onto a faint trace of hope, though in truth, he was not expecting much.

Xu Feng suddenly thought of something. "Master, I remember that Elder Yao has some."

Bai He slapped the table and suddenly recalled it. "That is right. Although it is a rare situation, it is not impossible that Elder Yao has demon cores."

"But Master, you should be mentally prepared. Elder Yao might not have the thousand year demon core you want."

Bai He immediately put on his shoes. "No matter what, let us go take a look."

Bai He rarely came to this place.

The smell of medicine filled the air as he ran into the Alchemy Pavilion.

Elder Yao was already very old, his beard completely white and reaching all the way down to his knees, even longer than a person’s hair.

When Bai He entered, he was still holding a book in his hand.

When Bai He was young, he used to come here often, but later, he came less and less.

Now, why had he come again?

"Fifth Elder."

"Elder Yao, do you have time? I want to ask you for something. I just do not know if you have it here."

Elder Yao felt uneasy.

Bai He suddenly coming over definitely meant nothing good.

Bai He grabbed his beard. "Do not leave. Why are you leaving?"

"Aiyo, Fifth Elder, if you want something, go talk to the Sect Master. How would I have what you want here?"

Bai He held onto his beard, leaving him with no way to leave. He lowered his voice and said, "I have heard that when disciples go out to eliminate demons, if the resistance is fierce and they execute them on the spot, they bring the demon cores here to exchange for some things. Is that true?"

That was indeed the case.

However, quite a few people knew about it.

It was just that everyone turned a blind eye.

"Ahem, Fifth Elder, what are you talking about? I do not understand."

"Stop pretending here. Your Fifth Elder wants one. Just tell me what you want, and I will help you get it."

"Aiyo, Fifth Elder, that thing is not for you to play with."

Elder Yao thought that Bai He came to ask for a demon core just to play with it.

Otherwise, what else would he use it for?

Bai He himself did not know what he would use it for.

In any case, getting it first was what mattered.

"Who told you I want to use it for playing?"

At that moment, Elder Yao’s disciple ran in. "Master, Master, it failed again."

What he was holding was clearly a plant that had already withered.

Seeing this plant, Elder Yao looked extremely distressed.

Bai He’s eyes lit up, and he suddenly came up with a good idea. "Elder Yao, I will help you with this, and you help me in return. How about it?"

"You?" Elder Yao naturally did not believe Bai He and only thought he was talking nonsense.

"Fifth Elder, do not make fun of me. Hurry and go, hurry and go."

Bai He gritted his teeth, he grabbed his beard and whispered a few words into his ear.

Elder Yao’s expression immediately froze. "What you said is true?"

Bai He nodded. "Of course. Why would I lie to you? But I will only let you use it for one month. No, half a month."

"If you really have it, even seven days is enough. I will help you."

"Then it is settled. Come with me."

How could Bai He not know what Elder Yao wanted?

Was it not the Tree’s Coreflame?

But he had already given it to Ye Shiyuan.

However, Ye Shiyuan was not here right now.

If he borrowed it for a few days, it should not be a problem.

"Then I will trouble Fifth Elder."

Bai He brought Elder Yao to the place where the Tree’s Coreflame was planted.

It was quiet and comfortable there.

The environment was also exceptionally good.

Elder Yao’s eyes widened.

He quickly ran to the base of the Tree’s Coreflame and even knelt down on the ground.

In this lifetime, to be able to see the legendary Tree’s Coreflame, it felt as if his entire life had become complete.

"Elder Yao, I did not lie to you, did I? With the Tree’s Coreflame, any medicinal herb you have can be cultivated, and it basically only takes three days. I will give you half a month in exchange for a demon core. Is that acceptable?"

Elder Yao had already seen the Tree’s Coreflame with his own eyes, so how could he refuse?
