"Welcome, esteemed guests," said Cheng Da Le with respect and a fake smile as he welcomed them, by Yu Tian. "I am Cheng Da Le, and I lead these people. If there's anything I can assist you with, please don't hesitate to tell me."
"…," Yu Tian didn't speak immediately but stared at the plaque above Cheng Da Le's head, where a Purple Rose was depicted. This indicated that he possessed the highest level of luck, similar to Yang Kai and Yun Chi, but unlike them, there was no number indicating his fortune value.
"My goal is the Nine Yin Dew Crystals," said Yu Tian calmly, "and I want to obtain them. For that reason, I want you to give them up, and I am willing to offer you something in return."
Initially, Yu Tian wanted to genuinely compensate certain individuals, but after discovering the other person was the protagonist, it would be foolish to offer true compensation.
"Think about it carefully, as I can give you pills that will allow you to reach Immortal Ascension immediately, or a treasure that allows you to kill those in Immortal Ascension," Yu Tian said with a faint smile, knowing the best course was to give him some pills to enhance his strength. This would eventually cause him to lose his younger brother's position and torture him for points in the future.
"So, what do you choose?" Yu Tian asked before going silent, leaving Cheng Da Le time to think about what he wanted.
'Luckily, their target is the Nine Yin Dew Crystals and not us,' Cheng Da Le thought to himself with relief after hearing Yu Tian mention his goal. He had been worried that the government had joined forces with High Heaven Pavilion to eliminate them.
As for the Nine Yin Dew Crystals, Cheng Da Le didn't care much. Though it was a rare treasure, his life was far more valuable than just a useless rare treasure.
"In that case, I hope the esteemed guest can grant me a powerful treasure," Cheng Da Le said after some thought, showing he wasn't a fool.
Many people might be tempted to increase their strength through pills, but Cheng Da Le was different. He had a system, and his power would grow rapidly as long as he didn't die. For this reason, he refused the idea of taking unknown pills from an untrustworthy source like Yu Tian.
Even the treasure he asked for—he intended to verify its strength before using it. He wasn't foolish enough to depend on a treasure to save his life without ensuring its power.
"I see. Then this shall be yours," said Yu Tian as he took out a random weapon from his inventory and threw it towards Cheng Da Le. Even though it was a random weapon, it was at the Emperor Profound Realm level and very powerful.
But that wasn't all—this weapon was actually a parasitic weapon that would slowly invade its master's body until it fully controlled the host and devoured their soul entirely.
As for its strength, there was no doubt. It was extremely powerful, allowing the user to fight against many stronger individuals.
However, as they say, nothing is free in this world. The more the sword's master drew power from it, the more the weapon would parasitize the host's body, even draining their vitality if the master was weak like Cheng Da Le.
"Although this sword is very powerful, you must be careful, as it may absorb your vitality if you use too much power from it while still being weak," Yu Tian said with a kind smile, as if he were concerned for Cheng Da Le.
"Thank you, esteemed sir," Cheng Da Le said emotionally as he bowed towards Yu Tian and stored the sword in his inventory, while secretly pulling out something else and hiding it quickly in his hand.
Although Cheng Da Le's movement was very fast, and no one could see what he had taken, Yu Tian saw it clearly. It was a black card with "Skill Copy" written on it in golden letters.
[Ding! A system has detected an attempt to copy one of the host's abilities. How would the host like to handle it?]
'Interesting…' Yu Tian smiled upon seeing the system notification and asked in his mind, 'System, can you make it copy the ability I tell you, and can you also use this opportunity to copy his abilities?'
Although Cheng Da Le was currently very weak, he also had a system, and might possess a broken ability that he couldn't use yet or was deliberately weakened by his system. This kind of plot was very common.
[Ding! This is possible, but it will cost the host 20,000 points.]
Although 20,000 points was not a small amount, it wasn't much either, so Yu Tian didn't hesitate to allow the system to take them.
'Take the points and make sure he copies (Wind Finger),' Yu Tian said nonchalantly, as he didn't care about the points or the copied skill since it wasn't that powerful and was one of the weakest abilities he had.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for copying Cheng Da Le's skills and obtaining: Advanced Axe Mastery.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for giving Cheng Da Le a parasitic sword that will seize every opportunity to control his body, causing a reduction in Cheng Da Le's Fortune Value by 5,000.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 25,000 SP.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for giving Cheng Da Le a useless skill in exchange for his axe mastery, causing a reduction in Cheng Da Le's Fortune Value by 1,000.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5,000 SP.]
