"Oh, what makes you say that?" Lu Qing asked with keen interest.
"The Cold Water Palace obviously has big issues, the power within the sect has greatly declined.
As one of the Four Great Secret Places, even after such a long period of spiritual energy recovery, it doesn’t have a single Golden Core Realm cultivator.
Even a re novice in the Golden Core Realm, with shallow foundations like Li Changbo, can flaunt his power over their heads.
It’s evident that the Cold Water Palace must have encountered a setback, causing a significant reduction in its resources.
Especially this ti, after the incident with Li Changbo, the issues within Cold Water Palace have been completely exposed.
It’s hard to say that other forces won’t develop ulterior motives.
Thus, the Cold Water Palace Master is trying to ingratiate himself with you, wanting to use your influence to intimidate other potentially rebellious strong forces."
"Yan" ticulously analyzed the Cold Water Palace’s intentions.
"Let them borrow the influence then." Lu Qing casually remarked, "It’s just a matter of mutual benefit, the Fire Spirit Pearl is quite useful to , these are rely small matters."
Lu Qing naturally understood Han Lingshuang’s little sches.
But this was also human nature, as long as it didn’t touch his principles and bottom line, he didn’t care about such trivial matters.
"Yan" upon hearing this, stopped speaking.
It was rely trying to remind Lu Qing, and since he understood everything, there was no need for it to say more.
After leaving Cold Water City, Lu Qing continued traveling with Little Yan.
At dusk, they arrived at a new city to stay, and at night, they lodged at an inn. Once Little Yan fell asleep, he entered the Leaving Fire Tripod using his heart and spirit.
"Young Master."
"Yan" imdiately ca forward to greet him.
"How is Li Changbo?" Lu Qing asked.
"He is being held captive. This person is quite patient; apart from initial panic, he has now regained his composure."
"Yan" waved his hand and a spatial cage appeared, revealing the situation inside.
Li Changbo was seen sitting cross-legged, eyes closed, appearing very calm.
Of course, at that mont he was unaware of the surroundings and couldn’t see Lu Qing and Yan.
Lu Qing’s heart shifted slightly, dispelling the barrier around the spatial cage.
Imdiately, Li Changbo opened his eyes. Upon seeing Lu Qing and Yan, a look of shock appeared in his eyes.
Particularly, Yan’s image made him realize instantly that this was not of the Human Race.
"Sir, is your stay here comfortable?" Lu Qing said nonchalantly.
"Though it’s dark here, it’s still quite peaceful." Li Changbo replied.
Lu Qing smiled and directly said, "Li Changbo, your cultivation has been amassed with spirit stones. Tell , where did you obtain so many spirit stones?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changbo’s expression could no longer maintain its calm.
He stared closely at Lu Qing, unable to fathom how this mysterious young man could know about this matter.
After all, it was his deepest secret.
Even in that dreadful illusion realm before, he hadn’t revealed a bit.
"What, are you taken aback?" Lu Qing noticed Li Changbo’s expression and said, "You think such a secret should not be known by anyone?
Your foundation is weak, inferior to ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators.
You must have used so thod to quickly enhance your cultivation.
Nowadays, spirit stones are the only thing that can produce such an effect."
Hearing Lu Qing say that he was weaker than ordinary Golden Core Realm cultivators, a trace of red appeared on Li Changbo’s face.
He had always desperately desired power, and the proudest accomplishnt of his life was passing the Heavenly Tribulation and achieving the Golden Core Realm.
Looking across the entire world, it was considered one of the top existences.
Being deed as weak in Lu Qing’s words now, how could he accept it?
Yet, despite his unwillingness, Li Changbo dared not refute.
The previous encounter had already shown him that the young man before him had terrifying strength, beyond his ability to comprehend.
In facing overwhelming forces, Lu Qing called him weak, and he had to endure it.
He took a deep breath, attempting to calm his emotions.
For he knew, this was his opportunity.
Li Changbo remained silent for a mont before saying, "It turns out that Senior has captured here for the spirit stones in my possession.
This is simple, as long as the senior is willing to make a Divine Soul Oath.
After I explain, let go and ensure my safety.
Then I will tell the senior where the Spirit Stone is located."
"You even know about the Divine Soul Oath?" Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, "It seems you’ve also received so inheritance from the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era."
The Divine Soul Oath, in the last Cultivation Era, was a technique that most cultivators had to learn.
However, in this era, not many people know about it.
Li Changbo did not speak, which was an implicit admission.
If he hadn’t received the inheritance, how could he have reached the Golden Core Realm alone?
"But do you think you’re qualified to negotiate with ?"
However, Lu Qing’s next words made Li Changbo suddenly look up.
Then he saw that Lu Qing’s eyes emitted a strange light.
Imdiately, a wave of drowsiness erged from his heart and spirit.
Li Changbo secretly thought it was bad, but it was already too late.
The next mont, he was once again subrged in the Illusion Realm.
Moreover, this ti, the Illusion Realm was even more terrifying than before.
A quarter of an hour later, when Li Changbo awoke from the Illusion Realm again, his eyes were full of exhaustion.
"I told you, in front of , you have no qualification to negotiate, nor do you have any secrets to speak of."
Lu Qing’s words resounded, causing Li Changbo’s body to tremble, and his gaze towards him was filled with fear.
Just now, in the Illusion Realm, he had experienced unimaginable tornt.
Even in his perception, he had been tornted in the Illusion Realm for as long as ten years.
"Senior, since you already know where the Spirit Stone is, I wonder if you could spare this ti?"
Li Changbo begged with pleading eyes.
That’s right, in the Illusion Realm, he ultimately couldn’t endure the endless tornt and revealed the location of the Spirit Stone he knew.
"What do you think?" Lu Qing looked at Li Changbo with a half-smile.
"Senior!" Li Changbo said anxiously, "I have no enmity with you, why do you need to drive to despair, giving no way out.
If the senior spares this ti, I can make a Divine Soul Oath to beco your servant.
Henceforth, I will be loyal to you, becoming the sharpest blade in your hand! I can do anything for you!"
"I do not need a servant like you." Lu Qing shook his head, "For treasures and power, you would even plot against your own wife and children.
Soone like you, devoid of humanity, is not qualified to be my servant.
Moreover, I promised the Cold Water Palace Master that I would not let you live in this world anymore."
"Senior..."
Li Changbo was terrified upon hearing this, still trying to beg, but Lu Qing was no longer interested in listening to him.
With a thought, a transparent fla was born from the spatial cage, sweeping towards Li Changbo.
Greatly shocked, Li Changbo imdiately channeled his mana to resist the burning of the Spiritual Fire.
However, imdiately, a look of extre fear appeared on his face.
"Impossible, this fla!"
As the transparent fla touched Li Changbo’s body, his physical body imdiately began to dissolve.
His Fire Elent mana was of no use at all.
Ultimately, within a few short breaths, he was engulfed by the transparent fla, burned to ashes, with only a fiery red bead remaining in place.
"A re Golden Core Early Stage with a shaky foundation, yet he thought he could resist the burning of the Nanming Leaving Fire of the Leaving Fire Tripod, overestimating himself?"
Seeing Li Changbo burned to ashes, "Yan" showed disdain.
In the Ancient Immortal Cultivation Era, those in the Golden Core Realm much stronger than Li Changbo also died under the burning of this Nanming Leaving Fire.
Refining to death a small Golden Core Early Stage who didn’t even possess a few magical treasures, it shouldn’t be too easy.
Lu Qing waved his hand, taking the fiery red bead into his possession.
