Liuli was taken aback by Yun Fan's cold demeanor. As a stunning beauty, she was unaccustomed to being turned down when asking for a favor. After all, others would jump at the chance to help her, often eager to assist her every day. Frustration bubbled within her as she felt that the person before her lacked appreciation for her charm.
However, for the sake of her goal, she needed to persuade Yun Fan and see if he would lend a hand.
"Wait," she said warmly. "At Treasure Pavilion, we don't just offer favors without compensation. If you agree to help, Treasure Pavilion will reward you with ten thousand spirit stones."
Just as Yun Fan was about to leave, he paused. Although he wasn't swayed by beauty, spirit stones were of great importance to him. After all, ten thousand spirit stones were no small amount; they could buy at least sixty Late Stage Inner Dans, enough to enhance his cultivation.
Yet he wouldn't let himself be blinded by the allure of the spirit stones. If the situation proved too dangerous, he would have to walk away.
After a moment of contemplation, a hoarse voice broke the silence. "What exactly is it?"
Liuli let out a soft huff upon seeing his reaction, realizing that her beauty paled in comparison to the allure of those spirit stones. Liu Yemei furrowed her brows tightly, revealing a serious expression as she spoke slowly.
"This matter is quite secretive. You must not disclose it after learning about it; otherwise, Treasure Pavilion will hunt you down. No matter where you flee, you will undoubtedly meet your end."
Yun Fan nodded in understanding.
Seeing that he was listening intently, Liuli continued. "In Lin Yuanjun's Desolate Mountain Range, a cave has been discovered. However, there is a Formation Barrier surrounding it that requires a Formation Master to break through."
"Therefore, I would like to invite you to accompany me. Regardless of whether you can break the barrier or not, Treasure Pavilion is willing to offer ten thousand spirit stones."
Underneath his black robe, Yun Fan felt a surge of surprise; he hadn't expected Lin Yuanjun to possess a cave. Strong caves often contained numerous treasures and various inheritances. Even acquiring a small opportunity could lead one to soar to great heights.
However, the formation was also extremely perilous; one misstep could lead to instant death.
After pondering for a moment, Yun Fan questioned, "With so many resources at your disposal in Ju Bao Ge Qiang, why not forcefully break this formation and enter? Why do you need me as an Array Mage?"
Upon hearing this, Liuli sighed softly and replied slowly.
I, Ju Bao Ge Qiang, indeed possess great strength and can forcibly break this formation. However, I fear that if the formation is destroyed, all the treasures inside may be damaged, leaving us with nothing in the end. It would be a waste of time and effort.
Even as a Fourth-Rank Array Mage, I could invite one to our Treasure Pavilion headquarters, but time is tight, and it would be difficult to rush someone from the royal capital to Lin Yuanjun in such a short period.
The longer we delay, the more likely the news will spread. At that point, other forces will arrive, making it extremely difficult for our Treasure Pavilion to obtain the treasures inside.
Yun Fan fell into deep thought upon hearing this. After a moment, he slowly spoke up. "I can agree to this, but I do not want spirit stones as compensation. If the formation is broken, I want to accompany you and the others from the Treasure Pavilion into the cave to seek treasures for myself."
Upon hearing this, Liu Li's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, feeling somewhat displeased. She hadn't expected this young man to be so greedy, wanting to join them from the Treasure Pavilion in their treasure hunt.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Li silently nodded. Her tone was no longer as enthusiastic as before; instead, it had become rather flat. "That's acceptable."
