Since Guh Niqiang had spoken, Qingfeng had to back down. Baitao cheered and was about to rush forward, but was pulled back securely by Guh Niqiang: "Stand behind ."
Lu Qian suddenly felt extrely envious of Baitao.
Leaving Lin Le to guard the entrance, the group entered the cave. Guh Niqiang took the lead, her body emanating a golden-red light that illuminated the path ahead clearly.
This was not the flas swirling around her during the operation of her cultivation technique, but the glow of her spiritual artifact. After several one-sided "sparring" sessions, Lu Qian had figured out that the golden-red, resplendent narrow-sleeved dress that Guh Niqiang wore was indeed a spiritual artifact, the "Flowing Cloud Immortal Robe." It was by maneuvering this spiritual artifact that Guh Niqiang could take flight and travel through the air.
This spiritual artifact was inclined towards defense and also provided a boost to her escape speed, perfectly complenting Guh Niqiang’s phenonal physical condition, so she never left it aside.
Walking twenty zhang ahead, they saw a sapphire barrier obstructing the path, which was a sealing array.
Before Lu Qian could make a move, Guh Niqiang’s slender right hand turned a golden-red. She rely gave the barrier a gentle pat, and it shattered with a bang.
On the side, Jiang Baitao exclaid with a "wow," full of admiration, her eyes almost shooting out stars.
Lu Qian used his divine sense to scan around the room. The chamber was two zhang wide, empty except for a ditation cushion and a small table at the center. On the small table lay a, hmm, shell?
The group stepped forward, the light from Guh Niqiang’s immortal robe revealing every detail. They saw that indeed there was a shell about three feet in size on the table. The shell was pure white like jade, densely covered with fine patterns, which upon closer inspection appeared to be lines of bird script emitting a faint blue glow.
Lu Qian walked around it but couldn’t discern what it was. Just as he intended to probe it with his divine sense, he heard Guh Niqiang speak in an unusually surprised tone: "This is the Illusory Sound Treasure Conch."
Baitao tugged at Guh Niqiang’s sleeve, having quickly determined who was in charge: "Pretty sister, can I touch it?"
Seeing Guh Niqiang nod, Jiang Baitao cheered and tried to hug the treasure conch. But no matter how much strength she exerted, her face turning red, she couldn’t move it an inch.
This thing was so heavy?
Lu Qian couldn’t help but ask, "Elder Guh, what exactly is this?"
Guh Niqiang turned her head to stare fixedly at Lu Qian, her eyes slowly turning golden-red. Lu Qian felt his hair stand on end, why did this Mad Fairy suddenly beco so excited?
"I see, I wondered why that bell ringer had a treasure like the Life Substitution Puppet, turns out he has a deeper background." Guh Niqiang’s lips slowly curled upward, "This Illusory Sound Treasure Conch is extrely valuable, used by the Golden Core Sect for communication, with a range of thousands of miles. You tell , if he has a Life Substitution Puppet and also an Illusory Sound Treasure Conch, isn’t he from the Golden Core Sect? If so, after we take him out, wouldn’t there be a lot of fights for us next?"
In an instant, Lu Qian felt a bone-chilling cold rise in his heart, his eyes widening.
How could this be? Why would a minor Chaosheng Sect suddenly be entangled with the Golden Core?
At that mont, the treasure conch suddenly flashed a light!
Baitao shrieked and released the treasure conch, seeing those fine script-like patterns emit a bright blue light, with the sound of surging waves echoing from the conch.
Guh Niqiang watched with interest and murmured, "Soone’s sending a ssage."
Circles of blue light rolled over the shell, gathering in the cavity of the conch, then with a crisp ding, a blue bead materialized out of nowhere, falling within the shell.
Guh Niqiang raised her hand and grasped the bead. Lu Qian had no ti to react before he heard a crack, Guh Niqiang had already crushed the bead!
A sharp, piercing voice echoed in the chamber: "Zhang Shouchang! You greedy, lazy bastard! You flesh-eater who doesn’t spit out bones! You mangy vulture who only eats but never craps! Bastard! Scoundrel! Parasite..."
In an instant, everyone in the chamber had a very complex expression on their face.
The voice cursed continuously, leaving Lu Qian dumbfounded, afraid to miss a single word lest he misses crucial information.
The voice paused and then vanished into thin air.
Guh Niqiang watched Lu Qian, who still had his ears pricked up, and chuckled softly: "That’s it, a bead is just one ssage."
So... this extrely precious Illusory Sound Treasure Conch was used just to send a torrent of insults? And their fighting words aren’t even that strong...
Just then, the sound of waves rose again, the treasure conch emitting blue light, forming another bead.
Lu Qian hesitated for a mont but still crushed the bead.
"You bastard! You orphan! What good are you? A dog would at least bark a couple of tis..."
The sharp insults resounded once more. Lu Qian sighed and still listened through the entire string of curses.
Looking back, Jiang Qingfeng looked astonished, using a Silence Talisman to block Baitao’s ears. Baitao looked curious, struggling futilely against her sister’s grip, with Guh Niqiang offering no help this ti.
Could it be that these words are quite lethal in the cultivation realm?
Before Lu Qian could gather his thoughts, another blue bead was born...
And so the group stood in the chamber, enduring the insults for as long as it takes to burn an incense stick.
That person ranted for so long without repeating themselves, and by the end, they sprouted vulgarities as fluently as a fishwife arguing in the marketplace among mortals.
