Level Up in Martial World

Chapter 121: Qi Condensing Elixir

"Alright," Lu Zhen nodded when he heard this.

"Give me these things," Lu Zhen woke up from his contemplation upon hearing Elv's cold voice, looking up to see her pointing at several computer-like terminals and the tubes where there were liquids.

"I want all of these," she repeated.

"What will you give me in return?" Lu Zhen's eyes shone as a small smirk appeared in his face as he asked this.

Elv bit her lip with the corner of her teeth, her expression hesitant. In their contract, there was a clause that stated that two individuals bound by a blood contract couldn't steal from each other.

Since Lu Zhen had killed the red-haired mage, naturally, all the loot belonged to him. So, Elv needed Lu Zhen's permission to access these items. It wasn't worth it for Elv to break the contract just for that.

"I will give you all the potions you need to become a second-stage martial artist right now, and in return, you will give me the equipment," Elv proposed with an expressionless face. She had initially hoped to gain some leverage by providing resources to Lu Zhen and making him pay since nothing in this world was truly free.

Although the contract stated that she needed to support Lu Zhen until he became a first-stage martial artist, it didn't imply that this support was free.

Lu Zhen wore a satisfied expression upon hearing this. He already had a sense of what the old hag was up to, and upon reading the contract, he discovered the loopholes within it.

"Here, take it," Elv handed him a sack filled with vials. They appeared as if out of thin air in her hands as she handed it over to him.

"Is this it?" Lu Zhen curiously opened the bag, revealing a blood-red liquid inside the vials. His eyes turned golden as he inspected one of the vials with curiosity.

[Qi Condensing Elixir]

"No can do," Lu Zhen replied firmly, unwilling to compromise since Elv hadn't brought something equivalent to the table.

Elv gritted her teeth inwardly upon hearing this but maintained a cold expression. She had already provided him with items prepared for third-stage martial artists, and she had no interest in crafting elixirs designed for second-stage martial artists. Such a process was not only time-consuming but also demanded a considerable amount of mana. She had no intention of expending her resources aimlessly.

Lu Zhen wore an amused expression as he stared right back at her without even a flinch, meeting Elv's icy stare.

He seems to have "adapted" to the nervous feeling he felt when Elv was around so he stared right back at her.

The passage of time seemed to stretch as the two of them engaged in this intense standoff, their eyes locked in a silent duel.

"Where am I?" Xiao Yu questioned as he stirred, waking up from the cold floor, clutching his head.His vision was hazy, and he could barely make out the silhouette of a large, imposing figure and that of a child nearby.

Interrupting their intense standoff, a voice suddenly broke the silence, and curiously, both Lu Zhen and Elv burst into laughter simultaneously.

"So, do we have a deal now, Miss Sorceress of Death?" Lu Zhen inquired with a charming smile.

"Alright, I will give you the books, but in one year, you must return them to me."

"And what do I get in return?"

"A bloodline cultivation technique," Elv stated plainly.

Lu Zhen's eyes lit up upon hearing this offer. He couldn't help but think, "So you mages did play a role in creating bloodline martial artists." Although he was curious to learn more, he resisted the urge to ask further questions.
