Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 281 - 153: Tai Mountain City, Rebirth Pool (Part 2)

And now, what Zheng Yi needs to do is to rapidly expand Fengdu Ghost City. With the growing number of believers and the significant increase in the Power of Belief, it will positively enhance the expansion speed of the Incense Fire Dharma Realm projected over Tai Mountain City.

By then, Lord of Tai Mountain Prefect will undoubtedly gain more Divine Dao Authority, making it much easier for Zheng Yi to pursue other endeavors.

Believers and Belief are inherently linked, two sides of the same coin!

...

The task of further expanding Fengdu has been entrusted to the highest council by Zheng Yi, and they will manage the subsequent matters.

Returning to the Great Yi City Immortal Realm once again, after creating Tai Mountain City through the Incense Fire Dharma Realm, Zheng Yi's entire perspective broadened significantly. Although there has been no evident progress in the essence of his Divine Soul, the core within seems to have undergone some elevation.

He hadn't had a chance to truly experience it when someone sought him out.

Qi Lin reported that the woman in a pink dress, who was comatose and carried an Innate Peach Divine Embryo, awoke three days ago and wished to meet Zheng Yi to express her gratitude for saving her life.

Zheng Yi didn't intend to drag out the matter of the 'Innate Peach Divine Embryo' for too long. After all, he coveted such a top-grade Furnace, but how should he decide? It depends on the choice of the person before him.

If it's not too troublesome, he hopes to reach some form of cooperation or agreement with the woman, to make a trade.

In summary, regarding the path of Dao, Zheng Yi is determined to acquire the Innate Peach Divine Embryo.

However, there are multiple ways to gain its benefits, with some being more significant than others. It doesn't necessarily require Yin-Yang Harmony to obtain them.

As a Demon Cultivator who saved her life, seeking a repayment of gratitude seems not excessive.

If the opposite party is unwilling to become his Furnace woman, Zheng Yi is prepared to adopt another method. Although it would deplete the original essence of the Innate Peach Divine Embryo, he could still refine it for personal use, albeit with an efficiency of only about fifty percent. It ultimately rests on her choice, and he won't compel anyone in this regard.

After all, Zheng Yi is not a paragon of virtue. Leveraging the debt of gratitude to engage in a trade with the woman in the pink dress is not excessive.

In any case, this woman has been subjected to covert harm, her Divine Soul unclear, and the Innate Peach Divine Embryo shows signs of detachment. She's bound to be unable to protect it. Even if she escapes from Zheng Yi, she'll end up like Tang Monk's Flesh—before long, if not targeted by a Demon Dao practitioner, she'll be torn apart by Demons and Ghosts.

Conversely, receiving Zheng Yi's protection in the Soul Catching Sect, although deprived of the Peach Divine Embryo, the Wood Green Qi within can still alter her physique, significantly augmenting her cultivation efficiency. If compensated by Zheng Yi's resources, she would not fare worse than having the Innate Peach Divine Embryo.

In summary, the Innate Peach Divine Embryo is indeed valuable, but its involvement is too complex. Even if the woman in the pink dress obtained it, it might not necessarily be a good thing as she might not be able to handle it.

However, for someone like Zheng Yi, in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, facing a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Stage, the Innate Peach Divine Embryo is genuinely a supreme nourishment.

This thing is too crucial for Zheng Yi's subsequent breakthrough, enhancing his foundation for the Purple Mansion Stage, he absolutely won't relinquish it, determined to acquire it.

It's all up to the woman's choice now.

Zheng Yi dislikes trouble, deciding swiftly—delaying leads to chaos.

...

Qi Lin led the woman into the grand hall and then withdrew.

In the dim grand hall, Zheng Yi sat high above, his face hidden in the shadows, indistinct, yet the atmosphere of the entire hall became increasingly solemn, exerting a powerful psychological pressure.

With a thud, the graceful woman in the pink dress suddenly knelt on the ground, bowing deeply, and said.

"This kneeling is to thank the lord for saving my life, I am Luo Yaoyao."

Subsequently, the beautiful woman knocked her head three times, the crisp sound echoing in the grand hall, Zheng Yi remained silent, his expressions unreadable, without stopping her actions.

Eventually, Luo Yaoyao raised her head and again said, "I wish to discuss a deal with the lord, to make a trade."

"I promise to provide a price and return that will satisfy the lord..."

Luo Yaoyao's forthright demeanor unexpectedly surprised Zheng Yi.

After all, such a scenario differed entirely from what he had considered before.

Shouldn't he play the villain, demanding recompense of gratitude, compelling the woman to offer her purity for a deal tainted with the stench of money?

How did it turn into Zheng Yi being the passive one now?

Zheng Yi did not expect that a woman, of all people, would display such resilience and confront him to discuss business so straightforwardly?

"A deal!?"

At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Zheng Yi's face, his voice carried through the cold darkness, gently floating across the grand hall, exuding an ethereal yet profound aura.

"You dare propose a trade with me? Based on what? Solely by the Innate Peach Divine Embryo within you? Or, do you think there's anything else on you that's worth it..."

"Do you think that even without your cooperation, I wouldn't be able to extract that thing?"

Zheng Yi had no relationship with this woman, saving her was already a favor. Proposing terms to him, it depends on whether she can offer the price.

"The lord surely can achieve it, and capable of killing Ling Yun Zi, such a Great Perfection Foundation Establishment Cultivator, even without my cooperation, extracting the Innate Peach Divine Embryo from me is not a challenge for the lord!"

Luo Yaoyao raised her head, her delicate willow-leaf-like eyebrows locking onto Zheng Yi, speaking with unwavering determination.

"But if I'm willing to accept my role as a Furnace, even if the lord uses other means to extract the Sacred Embryo, the loss of its original essence might exceed fifty percent. However, if I declare my willingness to cooperate and become the lord's concubine or Furnace..."

"Oh? Let's hear it!"

Intrigued, Zheng Yi adjusted his posture, displaying a serious demeanor, and asked earnestly.

"The lord feels rightly so, there is indeed an Innate Peach Divine Embryo within me. It's because of this item that I ended up losing my family, my entire clan destroyed, left alone, and hunted..."

Although Luo Yaoyao's face exhibits gentle beauty, she recounts the process with extreme calmness, as though everything happened to someone else, and she is merely a silent observer.

"A disposition fit for accomplishing great things!"

Instantly, Zheng Yi characterized this woman.

Being able to express her tumultuous experiences so serenely suggests an unwavering heart. If given a chance, she might indeed accomplish something.

However, precisely because of this, Zheng Yi wishes to listen to what she says next.

"The past events are history now. What I wish to tell the lord is that the Innate Peach Divine Embryo within me is no ordinary thing, but a 500-year-old Innate Peach Divine Embryo."

Luo Yaoyao declared with a resolute face, her eyes couldn't hide the icy murderous intent, clearly indicating her endured hardships are not as casual as spoken, leaving an indelible mark deep within her heart.

A seemingly indifferent attitude, in reality, deep-seated hatred.

"Hmm?!"

Zheng Yi's expression shifted, his eyebrows slightly rising. Although he sensed the Innate Peach Divine Embryo information within her, he couldn't ascertain its specifics.

But Luo Yaoyao's mention of a 500-year-old Innate Peach Divine Embryo indeed caught Zheng Yi off guard.

A Great Demon's 500 years of Dao Practice condensed into an embryo, inherently with divine Peach Spirit; it cannot be ignored not just by Foundation Establishment, but even by Purple Mansion practitioners and Golden Core Cultivators.

Utilized well, this 500-year-old Innate Peach Divine Embryo might enable him to directly break through to the Purple Mansion Realm, it is not impossible.

After all, Zheng Yi's Divine Soul had reached over 400 feet, touching the Purple Mansion threshold, though his Magical Power remained in the Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, this slight gap seemed bridgeable with the 500-year-old Innate Peach Divine Embryo.

"What do you desire?!"

Moments later, Zheng Yi lifted his gaze, his eyes radiating brilliance, directly focusing on Luo Yaoyao below, articulating every word.

An invisible oppression circulated in the grand hall, making even breathing labored.
