Chapter 350: Questions

The Spirit Disorienting formation was a True rank formation that was the most valuable item that was sold in the most recent auction Alex had gone to. He remembered what the auctioneer had said when she had described the formation.

It disoriented the person's sense of surrounding and trapped them forever inside by not letting them realize where the exit was. Alex didn't really need to know the direction of the exit to leave it, but unfortunately, Zexi had thought of that as well and put up another formation that put a barrier around the edge of the Spirit Disorienting formation.

Alex looked at the man and feared what was about to happen next. There was no way he was going to let him go from this without getting what he wanted to get, but he would also not let him go after he got what he wanted.

Besides, it was not like Alex could just say 'I just know' and the man would be happy with the answer.

'Should I just log out and act as if I have fainted again?' Alex thought but immediately dismissed the option. There was no way the man was going to let him go just because he had fainted. Besides, as the man said, they were trapped in here for over a month. Alex couldn't simply faint every single day.

'Besides, it would be terrible for me if he killed me. My next body likely won't have the same talent this one has and I will lose my source of income.

'What should I do?' Alex tried to think of something, but couldn't come up with any ideas.

"What are you thinking so deeply?" Zexi asked with a terrible smile.

Alex tried to back away, but the barrier stopped him. Zexi then said, "Let's keep the talk about the flowers for later, shall we? I want to ask you about a few of the different things you have in there."

As soon as he said that, all of Alex's storage bags were ripped out of his robes, back into the man's hands. "Let's see, you have so many high-level ingredients here, where did you find them?" he asked.

Alex didn't know what to answer. The truth? It wouldn't be bad to try it out if he could survive. That was the only option he had right now.

"I found them in the southern forest," Alex said.

"You found them…. In the southern forest? Hahahaha, Nice joke. Tell me, really, where did you find them? Did you rob the treasury of your sect? Or did you rob the treasury of a different sect?'" Zexi asked.

Alex replied the same answer, "I'm telling you, I found them in the southern forest."

"Tsk. So you're going to keep lying about it huh? Very well then, let's move on with the questions then. What does this do?" Zexi asked as he brought forth a yellow talisman.

Alex looked at it and was a little surprised to even see what it was. It was a yellow talisman that normally he would simply forget about since he never really learned much about it.

All he knew was that the talisman was meant to do something when activated, and he wasn't brave enough to use the talisman of a man who was very likely in the saint realm.

That could backfire very badly on him.

"I don't know. I just found it somewhere," Alex said.

"You found it somewhere? You really want me to believe that you found a True rank talisman somewhere randomly?" Zexi simply shook his head.

SLAP

Without any warning, he slapped Alex with the back of his hand. Alex skidded along the barrier and stopped someplace far away.

Nothing was broken, but he was hurt a lot. He quickly ignored the burning cheek and looked around to find Zexi, but that was no longer possible. He didn't even know which direction he was just slapped from.

The formation was messing with him too much. Suddenly, the only thing he could see, the barrier, disappeared as well. He looked around confused as to what had just happened, and tried to make sense of it.

'Sh*t,' he thought. He had realized what had just happened. The Spirit Disorienting formation not only made him bad with his whereabouts inside the formation but it also, from time to time, shift space itself to further disorient the person inside.

Alex was perplexed and had no idea what he could even do. Suddenly, a crushing sensation appeared and pushed him onto the ground.

"Alright, then. If you won't tell me about the ingredients or the talisman, then you can at least tell me about this right?"

BANG

Something landed right next to Alex's head. Alex slowly turned his head to see what it was and came face to face with a dark blade.

'My saint grade sword,' he thought in fear. That was one of the most important secrets he had been holding, and it had come to light in front of this man.

"How does a normal, nobody like you come in contact with a sword like this? I feel stupid even asking this, but this is a saint-grade sword, isn't it?

"Who are you? And why are you in possession of so many of these things?" Zexi didn't even ask it as a question. It was almost as if he didn't want any answers from Alex.

"I—"

"No need to speak. I can see that you don't really want to answer me about any of this. This brings me back to the initial reason I got you here in the first place, the Spirit Cleansing Lily. Whether you like it or not, you are now going to tell me the answer to everything."

"I will make you do it," Zexi said as he kneeled onto the ground and placed his palm on Alex's head.

"Don't bother resisting. Not even a True Master realm cultivator from the auction house was able to resist this move. You are just an organ realm cultivator. This will end in the blink of an eye."
