Luo Yanran heard the ntion of Wanbao Tower and couldn't help but take a deep breath.
He was exceedingly curious, "What is Wanbao Tower?"
Yuan Tianqing, with hands folded behind his back, took a deep breath, "Wanbao Tower was left behind by an ancient supre being. The strength of this being could be said to reach the heavens and penetrate the earth!"
Qin Qi was startled, reaching the heavens and penetrating the earth? A bit exaggerated!
It was rely a figure of speech.
Yuan Tianqing continued, "Wanbao Tower was indeed what the person left behind. Within the tower exists nurous supre treasures, and it only opens once every fifty years!"
"Every ti it opens, only forty people can enter, and each person is allowed to choose only one treasure!"
"This ti, various powers have already negotiated ahead of ti. Forces that rank in the top ten in hunting Evil Demon can send two people in."
"Those in the top five can send three people!"
"The first and second-ranked forces can respectively send four and five people!"
Qin Qi was sowhat puzzled; by this count, there should be quite a few spare slots.
Still, he did not delve into it; since the mysterious woman already ntioned Wanbao Tower, this place must indeed be extraordinary.
Thinking for a mont, he no longer hesitated, "An embryo of a magical treasure and the slot for Wanbao Tower, I agree to this!"
"But I have a condition!"
Yuan Tianqing was curious, "Qin Qi, please feel free to speak!"
"If I can help Tianlan Sect to rank in the top two, I want two slots!" Qin Qi said, hands folded behind him.
Yuan Tianqing was slightly stunned.
He laughed heartily, "Alright, I'll promise this on behalf of Qin Qi."
It seems Qin Qi really did not understand the difficulty of breaking into the top ten.
Over the years, Tianlan Sect struggled even to get into the top thirty, let alone the top ten.
Tianlan Sect isn't considered a major force in the Northwest Region, not to ntion within this vast Secret Realm.
The other forces are resource-rich, incredibly powerful and fiercely competitive, making it extrely challenging to reach the top ten.
If Qin Qi can genuinely help Tianlan Sect achieve the top two, what harm is there in giving him two slots?
With this in mind, Yuan Tianqing stood up, "Since that's settled, let Qin Qi choose the embryo of the magical treasure first. These are what I've gathered over the years."
Bai Qingrou also waved her sleeve, bringing out a multitude of treasure embryos from her bosom.
These items are useless to them, so they were not stingy in offering them to Qin Qi.
Qin Qi took a deep breath, feeling extrely excited as he looked at the shiny treasures in front of him.
Bai Qingrou and Yuan Tianqing are indeed formidable Core Formation Stage cultivators.
They displayed an impressive array of over a hundred treasure embryos at once, overwhelming him with the variety.
The mysterious woman chuckled softly, "That shaless woman Bai has indeed collected quite a lot of good stuff over the years."
Qin Qi felt dizzy, "Which one should I choose!"
The mysterious woman suddenly brightened her eyes, "Oh? Hahaha, Bai actually brought that thing out, Qin Qi, pick this one!"
Qin Qi's eyes were full of confusion.
Because what the mysterious woman told him to choose was a bell!
This left Qin Qi sowhat puzzled, "Why do you want to choose this; does it suit well?"
The mysterious woman did not explain, "Naturally for a reason."
Qin Qi, no longer questioning, pointed at the golden bell and said, "Senior Bai, I'll choose this one!"
Bai Qingrou furrowed her brows lightly, looking slightly puzzled.
She murmured in her heart, "Why did he choose this? Could it be a coincidence?"
However, she didn't think much of it.
After all, so many years have passed, how could Qin Qi, an outsider, possibly know about these matters.
Thinking of this, she waved her sleeve and handed the bell directly to Qin Qi, "Alright then, this bell is yours. Let remind you, its function does not suit your cultivation technique!"
"Its primary function is sonic attack, targeting the soul. Not very useful against Evil Demon!"
Qin Qi laughed, "Senior Bai, my own ans are already highly effective against Evil Demon; choosing a treasure that doesn't need to further suppress Evil Demon."
Bai Qingrou had no argunt against this, so she rely nodded.
Yuan Tianqing saw Qin Qi had made his choice, and said, "Then today, let's leave it at that. Qin Qi can rest for now; we will contact you when the hunt for Evil Demon begins!"
After exchanging a few polite words with them, Qin Qi left the prison.
After watching Qin Qi leave, Yuan Tianqing and Bai Qingrou exchanged glances.
"Senior Sister Bai, do you think with this kid's help, we can rank in the top ten?" Yuan Tianqing asked curiously.
Bai Qingrou giggled, "Junior Brother, what are you thinking? Top ten? In the Secret Realm, there are so many mighty sects with ways to counter Evil Demon, he's certainly not the only one!"
"It's impossible to reach the top ten, but having his help will definitely raise our ranking sowhat."
"Wanbao Tower is not sothing our Tianlan Sect covets; gaining so benefits in resource distribution is sufficient."
"After all, we only sacrificed a treasure embryo."
To them, the treasure embryo was useless, and to recruit soone to work for them was a great deal.
Yuan Tianqing suddenly understood, "I see, sister truly thought this through. But since Qin Qi is skilled in hunting Evil Demons, Yanran, shouldn't you attend to the boy? Ensure he's well taken care of these days."
Luo Yanran nodded obediently and left.
Once outside, Qin Qi was filled with questions.
"Why did you make choose this bell when it clearly doesn't suit my cultivation technique?" Qin Qi asked, puzzled.
The mysterious woman chuckled, "Haven't you been wondering whether I know about Bai Qingrou's flaws?"
Qin Qi asked, confused, "What flaws?"
The mysterious woman slowly said, "Bai Qingrou is the Holy Maiden of Tianlan Sect. However, back then the best candidate for Holy Maiden wasn't her, but her junior sister, Shu Yulan!"
"But later, Shu Yulan t with misfortune and mysteriously disappeared. Thus, the title of Holy Maiden fell to Bai Qingrou, and resources poured into her, allowing her to beco one of Tianlan Sect's key figures!"
Qin Qi paused, "Was Shu Yulan's disappearance related to Bai Qingrou?"
The mysterious woman sneered, "What do you think? Bai Qingrou appears virtuous but is quite cunning. Hmph, Shu Yulan was suppressed by restriction and hidden away by Bai Qingrou for decades; only she can find her!"
Qin Qi was curious, "But what does this have to do with the bell?"
The mysterious woman slowly said, "Because this bell is Shu Yulan's life-bound magical treasure from back then!"
