Glancing at the price, Li Yuan was sure that there was no way that Xiao Huo could afford this information.
"The secret place you found is somewhat interesting.", he said and showed a mysterious look.
"If you want to know its secrets, you have to pay a price of 300 million low-grade spirit stones or something of equivalent value."
Xiao Huo heard this price and was stunned.
On the one hand, it was a good thing that the information was worth so much, meaning that this secret place most likely contained precious items or cultivation techniques.
On the other hand, since there were so many valuable things, there was bound to be danger.
If he didn't know, it was okay to explore it, but now, Xiao Huo hesitated on whether it was worth it to seek death.
As for paying 300 million low-grade spirit stones?
Even if Xiao Huo wanted to, he couldn't afford it at all.
Li Yuan noticed Xiao Huo's thoughts and remembered something.
His thoughts turned and he made a decision.
"Actually, I can help you resolve some of the Will of Heaven's backlash..."
"..as long as you are willing to give up some of the items in the inheritance."
His words brought Xiao Huo back to reality.
"Pavilion Owner, are you saying the truth?", he asked.
Li Yuan nodded his head slightly and showed a serious expression.
"Little friend, I can see that you're very talented and are expected to become an Emperor in the future."
"I am willing to help you now because I can't bear to see your talent being wasted."
Li Yuan's tone was filled with some appreciation, as if he was really looking forward to Xiao Huo's bright future.
Instantly, Xiao Huo was filled with gratitude and even had an urge to cry.
Since he embarked on the road of cultivation, he had seen how cruel most cultivators were.
Apart from his parents, only his master and the Pavilion Owner in front of him had believed in him and supported him.
Most other people either ridiculed him or were greedy about his treasures.
As for the possibility that Li Yuan was fooling him?
Xiao Huo didn't consider it at all.
He was just an ordinary cultivator, how could a hidden expert like the Pavilion Owner waste his time fooling him?
"Pavilion Owner, don't worry. I'll be sure to live up to your expectations.", he saluted respectfully and was filled with determination.
At the same time, Li Yuan's unfathomable figure was deeply imprinted in Xiao Huo's somewhat immature mind.
Li Yuan didn't know Xiao Huo's thoughts but he could guess something from his teary red eyes.
'It's worth not making much profit this time to win people's hearts.', he secretly praised his wit and continued.
"Even then, I can only give you a 90% discount. You will have to pay the other 30 million low-grade spirit stones yourself."
Xiao Huo didn't hesitate and took out some magic weapons, cultivation techniques and items he had obtained over the past week.
In his mind, he now believed that he was destined to become an Emperor in the future.
For an Emperor, these items worth a few tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones were nothing.
He conveniently forgot that he was just a Foundation Building cultivator at the moment.
Li Yuan glanced at all the items that Xiao Huo took out and while he complained about his wealth, he turned them into HS Points.
Then, he bought the information of the secret place.
[Secret place containing a cultivator's inheritance.]
[A secret place opened up by a Saint King cultivator after his fight with another powerful cultivator. After the fight, while he managed to kill his enemy, the Saint King also suffered heavy injuries and soon after, he died. Before his death, he left an inheritance for future generations.]
[The inheritance contains: The 96th ranked Heavenly Flame, a high-grade Divine Weapon, a Saint King body, many cultivation techniques...]
[Safe Path:...]
[Dangers inside the inheritance space:...]
Going through all the information, Li Yuan had to admit that it was truly worthy of being an inheritance that the protagonist had discovered.
Just the Heavenly Flame and the high-grade Divine Weapon would cause most Soul Transformation experts to go crazy and even Saints would be tempted.
But now, a little Foundation Building cultivator found this inheritance so easily.
Shaking his head, he spent a few HS Points and materialized a map.
The map contained information about the location, the safe path, the opportunities of the inheritance and the dangers in the inheritance space.
With a wave of his hands, the map flew into Xiao Huo's hands.
Xiao Huo picked up the map and read it.
A few minutes passed and while Xiao Huo was excited, there was some cold sweat running down his back.
'Thankfully, I chose to come to the Pavilion Owner, otherwise I would have been dead by now.', he couldn't help but think.
The dangers in the inheritance space and the various traps in it were so weird that Xiao Huo wondered whether the Saint King cultivator actually wanted anyone to get his inheritance.
Even with this map, Xiao Huo wasn't completely sure that he could obtain it.
Li Yuan saw Xiao Huo's fear and spoke up.
"Since this is a deal between us. I will give you this talisman so that you can save your life if you fall into danger."
He took out a white paper out of his space ring and threw it towards Xiao Huo.
This white paper was the result of his experiments over the past week.
Even though Li Yuan didn't get a way to leave this place, the system's two options woke him up.
Just because he couldn't leave, it didn't mean that he couldn't take action indirectly.
Based on his memories of cultivation novels, the Great Destiny Technique and the other cultivation techniques and spells he had gone through, he managed to create this white paper.
This white paper was a talisman that contained a piece of his soul and as long as he wanted, it could strike a blow that contained all his strength.
With the golden pagoda's enhancement, this blow should be almost equivalent to the blow of a Saint.
When he first created it, Li Yuan was very happy.
He had already imagined a scene in the future where he would face a powerful enemy, only to throw thousands of talismans out and wipe them out.
Unfortunately, the talisman contained part of his soul and could not be massed-produced, giving a premature end to his dreams.
Xiao Huo held the talisman and was a little confused.
He could see that it contained powerful energy, but he didn't know its use.
"Pavilion Owner, what is this?"
In response to his question, Li Yuan put his hands behind his back and spoke in a deep voice.
"This an item that contains one of my attacks."
"Of course, it has been weakened countless times and can only be used once."
"It also contains part of my spiritual consciousness that can communicate with you."
"You can think of it as my clone."
Xiao Huo heard this and immediately understood how precious this white paper was.
'One of the Pavilion Owner's attacks? Doesn't this mean that I will be invincible?'
'Moreover, there is also a portable Pavilion Owner in it.'
He became excited and completely ignored the "weakened" part of the sentence.
Xiao Huo believed that even if it was a weakened attack, it could still wipe out most cultivators.
'I wonder if I can kill an Emperor with this.', he considered seriously.
He was lucky that Li Yuan didn't know his thoughts, otherwise Li Yuan would be completely speechless and would have to doubt whether it was worth investing so much in him.
