Chapter 56: Acquiring the Cultivation Technique
"Senior, there's no need for any more superfluous words. If you truly don't want to die, then cooperate with me and spill everything you know!
Once I've obtained what I desire from someone of Demon Soul Island like yourself, I'll naturally let you go. I wouldn't want to invite unnecessary trouble, right?"
Fang Yun stated this with sincerity, yet he was even more determined not to let this person leave this place in his heart.
As for the matters regarding Demon Soul Island, it was definitely something to consider. Given that he was threatening with this issue, either this person was not from Demon Soul Island at all,
or Demon Soul Island simply wouldn't know the fate of its external disciples.
Fang Yun thought either reason was possible, or maybe this person was not from Demon Soul Island at all.
Therefore, this threat wasn't very significant to Fang Yun.
At this moment, the muscular man also looked doubtfully at Fang Yun, but eventually he believed him somewhat.
After all, he was like a fish on the chopping block, completely at the mercy of his captor.
Besides believing Fang Yun, he really had no other options.
So, the muscular man continued: "Fine, what else do you want to know? I can tell you!"
Fang Yun's eyes darted around. For the intelligence on the Central Sea region, a rough idea would suffice; he wasn't too interested in other, more secret pieces of information.
In comparison, other benefits weighed more significantly.
Thus, Fang Yun said: "Senior, I now desire a suitable Cultivation Method for the Foundation Establishment Stage! What do you think?"
As soon as Fang Yun finished speaking, the muscular man's body abruptly stiffened.
Slowly lifting his head, his eyes ice-cold, he looked towards Fang Yun.
"Boy, it seems you are aiming quite high! Not only do you want to get information on the Central Sea, but you also want to thoroughly reap all the secret techniques and Cultivation Techniques from my body, don't you?
It seems from the beginning you never intended to let me out alive, am I right?"
Faced with the muscular man's icy stare, Fang Yun was rendered speechless. His little tricks were obviously ineffective against such seasoned veterans of the Cultivation World.
With just a little probing, his motives were seen through completely.
It looked like trying to utilize seduction wasn't going to be successful.
The muscular man, observing the silent Fang Yun, gradually turned pale with anger.
In truth, he was more than willing to trade some non-essential information for his life.
Even if it was possible, to exchange the Cultivation Techniques he possessed for his life wasn't completely out of the question.
But because he saw how much Fang Yun was coveting, he knew that after obtaining everything, Fang Yun definitely would not spare him.
Thinking of this, how could the muscular man not feel desolation and despair?
"Senior, since you've figured it out, I won't hide it anymore!
Your other possessions, my interest is truly not that great!
I just want to acquire a Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique and meanwhile have a look at your unique legacy!
It's a pity we can't establish trust between us, I can't feel secure letting you go, that would be irresponsible to my own life!"
Fang Yun sighed inwardly as he looked at the muscular man who had closed his eyes, no longer paying him any attention.
It seems that he would inevitably have to resort to interrogation and torture to obtain what he desired.
However, he wasn't sure if such methods would actually work on a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
But at this point, he could only reluctantly give it a try.
After all, other methods would require far too much cost and time.
Later on, Fang Yun spent a few days trying out all the interrogation and torture methods he had heard of on the muscular man.
Unfortunately, those methods, originally designed for mortals, were ineffective on a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Some methods couldn't even cause him discomfort, a discovery that immediately made Fang Yun's expression ugly.
After a few days of futile efforts, Fang Yun looked at the muscular man in front of him and felt utterly helpless.
"Kid, it looks like you haven't been away from the mortal world for long, learning these low-level interrogation and torture methods, it's just laughable!
If you really have no other options, just kill me. As for the things you want, I'm telling you it's impossible!"
"Senior, why be like this?
Why don't we both make a concession, just hand over the Foundation Establishment Cultivation Technique and that unique legacy you possess!
I can consider letting you go. You just need to swear not to cause me trouble once you're out!
What do you think?"
Having no other choice, Fang Yun had to consider the possibility of letting the muscular man go!
As for restricting the muscular man, the only method he could think of was this kind of oath.
He wasn't sure if the saying was true, that Cultivators are not to swear lightly.
"Kid, don't bother wasting your efforts!
I've said it, these things are impossible to give to you. Even if you truly planned to let me go, I would not hand them over!
You might as well just kill me now!"
Hearing this, Fang Yun's expression darkened.
He had been very sincere earlier, but since this guy refused to see reason, he could not be blamed.
If there was no way, then he could only abandon the chance to get the legacy, and just eradicate this person.
