Chapter 556: The Appointed Time Has Come
"Uhh..."
Qin Sang fell into silent contemplation.
He hadn’t expected the Perpetual Camphor to be so rare. If he relied solely on trade to obtain it, he would likely have a hard time finding any.
The Eight-Sword Elder was right, acquiring the jade slip would open up another path.
Qin Sang was already tempted, but his tone remained reluctant, his smile bitter. "Senior, your means are truly formidable. I must admit, I’m nearly swayed. However, you're offering only a piece of Heavenrock and a single jade slip. Even if the contents of the jade slip are genuine, I’ll still have to travel far and wide in search of it, not knowing whether I’ll even find it... You’ll need to add something more."
"Then how about I throw in a stalk of Soul-Guiding Grass?"
The Eight-Sword Elder immediately took out another jade slip and a jade box. Sure enough, nestled inside the box was a complete stalk of Soul-Guiding Grass.
Qin Sang froze for a moment, then chuckled bitterly. "So you have already seen through all of my needs."
The Eight-Sword Elder stroked his beard and said, "You may not know this, Daoist Master, but I’ve been chasing after a Ziwei Secret Talisman for a very long time. I’ve spent no small amount of effort to gather the things you need. This is already my limit."
Qin Sang nodded thoughtfully.
It was rare to encounter someone who could offer everything he needed; such an opportunity could not be found again easily.
Judging by the Eight-Sword Elder’s tone, this offer was likely the best he could manage. If Qin Sang kept pushing for more, he might lose everything for the sake of a minor gain.
