Upon hearing Xia Liu's question, the elderly woman was completely certain that Xia Liu possessed the Extreme Cold Flame!

In that instant, she even had a thought of forcefully seizing the Extreme Cold Flame from Xia Liu.

But she quickly suppressed that idea.

To be able to entangle with Sha Tongtian and several Nascent Soul Stage cultivators in the Extreme Cold Secret Realm and then discern the injuries on her Energy Body.

Xia Liu was certainly not a simple character!

"The old woman has searched all over the world for renowned doctors, visited countless powerful figures, and finally learned the method to refine the Extreme Cold Flame."

"Oh, it seems that the senior is very knowledgeable about the Extreme Cold Flame!"

Xia Liu's heart had long been restless, but he did not show it.

He now urgently needed the refining method.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Bai Jue to wake up for consultation.

But Little Seven inside the Flowing Fire Sword sent him a message.

If he does not extract the Extreme Cold Flame soon, the Flowing Fire Sword might not be able to sustain itself for long.

"Well, I only obtained this information from others, and as for whether it is true, I cannot guarantee."

The elderly woman humbly said.

"Senior, why don't we make a trade, a mutually beneficial deal."

Xia Liu pondered for a while, perhaps this was his chance to refine the Extreme Cold Flame.

Although it might be a loss.

The injuries within the old woman's body were peculiar, but not particularly terrifying.

The Extreme Cold Flame essence required would not be much.

This was the fundamental reason why Xia Liu proposed the deal.

"I am willing to listen in detail."

Upon receiving a reply, Xia Liu continued, "I am willing to offer enough Extreme Cold Flame essence to soothe the senior's injuries, in exchange for the method to refine this flame."

"Alright! However, the benefits of this deal are clearly tilted towards me, so..."

As she said this, the elderly woman's Divine Sense surged, and a jade pendant appeared in her hand.

"What is the meaning of this, senior?"

Xia Liu was puzzled, though he had some guesses.

It seemed he had made the right gamble this time!

His luck was indeed overwhelming!

"This is my grandmother's personal jade pendant. Seeing the pendant is equivalent to seeing my grandmother in person. With this item, you can roam the Myriad Realms horizontally, as long as you don't clash with those few families..."

Qingqing couldn't help but explain in advance.

"Hmm, Qingqing's words are excessive, but somewhat exaggerated. If you encounter a crisis above the Myriad Realms, anyone below the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage seeing this item will naturally know what to do."

The elderly woman was still very modest.

To gain Xia Liu's complete trust, she naturally had to show her sincerity.

"I appreciate the senior's kindness."

"What do you mean by this? Are you looking down on my grandmother?"

Seeing Xia Liu refuse the jade pendant, Qingqing was naturally displeased.

Across the Myriad Realms, even within a million miles, who wouldn't want the grandmother's protection.

Yet Xia Liu actually refused!

It was simply unusual!

"Fairy Qingqing misunderstood, it's just that I, Xia, have some enmity with certain forces in the Myriad Realms and worry about implicating the senior."

"Oh? I didn't expect you to have grudges with forces in the Myriad Realms, truly unexpected."

Qingqing scanned Xia Liu from head to toe, thinking that with his Foundation Establishment Late Stage realm, he couldn't have offended any significant forces.

Thus, she said smugly, "Why don't you list the forces you've offended, and once grandmother returns, she can say a word, and your grievances will be instantly resolved."

"Hmm, Qingqing is right. Young Friend Xia, speak frankly."

The elderly woman was confident in herself too.

At least within the Myriad Realms, there were few things she couldn't accomplish.

"To be honest, I abolished the foundation of the Zhuang Family's Young Master, Zhuang Bifan, and several Elders of the Zhuang Family within the Extreme Cold Secret Realm."

"The Zhuang Family of the Myriad Realms!"

Qingqing swallowed hard, staring at Xia Liu in disbelief.

The Zhuang Family was considered a top-tier second-rate force within the Myriad Realms.

The Zhuang Family's Ancestor, Zhuang De, possessed a Golden Pill Peak realm.

He was acclaimed as the number one below the Nascent Soul Stage.

And Zhuang Bifan was a descendent of Zhuang De; if word reached the Zhuang Family.

Xia Liu would undoubtedly become the Zhuang Family's number one enemy.

At that time, countless Golden Pill Stage powerhouses would hunt him across the Northern Realm.

If it were merely Foundation Establishment Stage, or even ordinary Golden Pill Stage cultivators.

Offending the Zhuang Family would be akin to a bleak future, sure to be a path of death.

Xia Liu...

Qingqing dared not imagine further.

No wonder he was evasive; he had offended such terrifying forces.

Although the Zhuang Family was still unable to catch the grandmother's eye, after that, the Zhuang Family indeed had stronger backing.

Even a first-rate force rarely could shake the Zhuang Family.

"If this is all, the old woman could perhaps mediate, but you must also tell me the entire process."

After pondering for a long time, the elderly woman spoke.

"Grandmother! The Zhuang Family has strong backing; if you go to mediate, you might be seized upon by those people..."

"Qingqing, if Young Friend Xia helps this old body reach Peak, then why not spare no effort? One must know gratitude when doing things."

Xia Liu listened with relief, no wonder he believed in the elderly woman in his innermost being.

It turns out her thoughts were indeed unique.

"Alright, grandmother, I will listen to you."

Qingqing puffed her cheeks and did not continue to persuade.

"Young Friend Xia, do you have any other concerns?"

The elderly woman asked.

"Well, before coming to Baichuan Realm, I had indirectly clashed with the Qi Family from the Myriad Realms."

"The Qi Family? The Qi Family of the Myriad Realms?"

The elderly woman had an ominous feeling.

"Is the Qi Family you refer to just an ordinary family?"

Qingqing asked.

"No, they are the pillar of the Righteous Path in the Northern Realm, and in the Myriad Realms, they are famous—the Qi Family."

"Hiss..."

The elderly woman's worst fear had materialized.

The Qi Family!

A top hegemon in the Myriad Realms!

One of the giants in the Northern Realm!

Xia Liu had actually offended such a powerful existence, how could she shield him in front of the Qi Family...

"Grandmother, I think it's better to leave things alone, the Qi Family aligns with the Northern Realm's heaven, unbridgeable..."

Qingqing was no longer shocked.

Because her heart had already numbed.

Xia Liu was indeed not a regular cultivator.

Otherwise, how could he provoke such unmatched existence.

"Senior, I will handle these matters in the future, your sentiment, I am deeply grateful."

"Take it!"

Just when Xia Liu thought the elderly woman would take a step back, she firmly placed the jade pendant in his hand.

"Grandmother!"

Qingqing wanted to obstruct, but was ultimately deterred by the elderly woman's sternness.

"Young Friend Xia, if I can render you a favor in healing your wounded body, when you reach the Myriad Realms, should a Nascent Soul Stage expert from the Qi Family make a move, I can block three moves for you."

This was the most reasonable promise after the elderly woman's deliberation.

"This!"

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, Xia Liu was momentarily bewildered.

For the Extreme Cold Flame essence, the elderly woman could go to these lengths.

Apparently exceeding the value of the Spiritual Objects he offered.

"Since it's mutually beneficial, I naturally must show sincerity, additionally, my Dao is akin to your Righteous Energy, perhaps this is our Dao fate."

"So this is how it is, being able to help strengthen the senior's Daoist power, I now understand what I must do."

After the realization, Xia Liu delightedly stored the jade pendant in his Storage Ring.

"Next, the old woman shall ensure your safety in the Baichuan Realm."

"Senior's injured body..."

"Don't worry big brother, my grandmother's Energy Body is robust, even the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage might not gain any advantage."
