"Yes, my Lord!"
Li Hongqian’s face was wreathed in smiles. He bowed, clasping his fist in a salute as he explained, "The treasure is quite special. It’s of no use to , but it might be helpful to you, my Lord."
’...Interesting.’
Gu Zheng’s sharp brows rose. His interest piqued, he floated down from mid-air.
"Bring the treasure over for to see."
"Yes, yes, my Lord. Please wait a mont." Li Hongqian nodded hurriedly, bowed once more, then turned and ran off.
A short while later, he ran back, panting, and stopped in front of Gu Zheng, carefully holding a teapot.
"My... my Lord, this is it!"
After catching his breath slightly, Li Hongqian held the teapot with both hands and offered it to Gu Zheng, explaining, "This teapot suddenly started to glow two days ago. The light only disappeared after I touched it."
’A Marvel!’
Gu Zheng’s eyes flickered. With a raise of his hand, he effortlessly perford an Absorption, and the teapot, which now looked no different than usual, floated into his palm.
The mont the pot settled in his hand, a stream of information flooded his mind, and he understood at once.
’The Demon-Seeking Pot!’
This teapot, mostly covered in a rich patina and exuding a faint fragrance, actually had the ability to find Demon Fiends.
Simply by holding the pot, the locations of all Demon Fiends within a hundred-ter radius would automatically appear in his mind.
And this range would continuously expand as he focused his Spirit to sense his surroundings.
For an ordinary person, the maximum range was a hundred ters.
But for soone who had cultivated Divine Wondrous abilities, it could be continuously increased.
Take Gu Zheng, for example. Holding the teapot and focusing his Spirit, the range expanded: one hundred ters, two hundred, three hundred...
The locations of all Demon Fiends within a thousand-ter radius were projected into his mind!
Even if a Demon Fiend concealed its aura and hid its form, its position was still revealed.
’What a great find!’
Sensing the auras of Demon Fiends to find them had its limitations, after all.
But with this Demon-Seeking Pot, the effect was imdiate.
Gu Zheng no longer needed to search everywhere for Demon Fiends; he just had to follow the guidance in his mind!
This teapot was indeed a great help to Gu Zheng.
But for Li Hongqian, it was essentially useless.
He was an ordinary person. Even as a first-rate master in the Martial World, he’d be lucky to escape a Demon Fiend, let alone go looking for one.
Demon Hunting? More like a suicide mission!
...
"Not bad."
Gu Zheng toyed with the teapot and nodded. Then, he looked at Li Hongqian, and with a flick of his hand, ten Jade Talismans appeared.
"I’ll take this teapot. It’s quite helpful. However, I won’t take it for free. Each of these ten Jade Talismans contains a seal of my power."
"Nine of them are slightly weaker, and this one is relatively strong."
"But even if you shatter the weakest Jade Talisman, you can easily kill the Demon Fiends from just now."
"The strongest one can annihilate even more powerful Demon Fiends."
"...Th-thank you, my Lord!" Li Hongqian trembled as he accepted the Jade Talismans with both hands. Then, with a THUD, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed excitedly, shouting his thanks. "Thank you, my Lord! I, Li Hongqian, on behalf of the entire Li Family, thank you for bestowing these talismans! We will forever rember your great kindness today!"
As he spoke, he continued to kowtow forcefully, his whole body shaking.
In his heart, he was so ecstatic he almost wanted to scream.
’We’ve struck it rich! We’ve struck it rich!’
’I thought I was just trying to build a connection, but I never expected such a generous reward.’
’It can kill powerful Demon Fiends just by crushing it!’
’This isn’t just a Protective Talisman, it’s a family heirloom!’
’Ten Jade Talismans! If used well, they could protect my Li Family for generations!’
"Th-thank you, my Lord..."
While kowtowing, Li Hongqian called out in a quavering voice, "I... I hope my Lord might... tell his na. My Li Family wishes to..."
"My Lord?"
He had wanted to express his gratitude, to carve a Longevity Tablet and have his family worship it for generations.
But when he looked up, Gu Zheng was nowhere to be seen.
...
...
Giving him ten self-sealed Jade Talismans, the most powerful of which was equivalent to a full-power strike.
It was more than enough to compensate for the gift of the Demon-Seeking Pot.
This Marvel couldn’t have fallen into better hands than Gu Zheng’s.
At once, holding the Demon-Seeking Pot, he focused his Spirit, spreading his senses out over a five-hundred-ter radius.
All Demon Fiends within this range, whether lurking in rooms or hiding underwater, appeared clearly in Gu Zheng’s mind.
Gu Zheng easily rushed over, and his Chaotic Heaven Shield transford into three hundred and sixty blades, slaying them from a distance.
SHING SHING SHING!
Flashes of light from the blades blood continuously, annihilating one Demon Fiend after another.
With Spirit Capturing, he rapidly harvested Demon Points.
One thousand, two thousand, three thousand...
Soon, he had obtained another ten thousand Demon Points!
With the Demon-Seeking Pot in hand, finding Demon Fiends was incredibly convenient.
First and Second-Order Demon Fiends were cut down as easily as reaping grass.
Gu Zheng had to put in a little effort, but he could also quickly kill early Third-Order Demon Fiends.
Only late Third-Order Demon Fiends required so ti.
BOOM!
The water exploded, sending a splash dozens of ters into the air.
A Demon Fiend with over a hundred tentacles, each three to four hundred ters long, was entrenched in the ruins of a building beside a waterway. It brandished its translucent, barrel-thick, slimy tentacles, attacking Gu Zheng.
SHING SHING SHING!
The three hundred and sixty blades shot out and danced through the air, crisscrossing as they sliced and severed tentacle after tentacle.
But as soon as one was cut, a new one would regrow from the stump.
The speed was so fast that it seed as if the hundreds of tentacles had never been severed at all.
At the sa ti, a terrifying aura comparable to a Fourth-Order Demon Fiend perated the area, sending ripples through space.
A peak Third-Order tentacle Demon Fiend!
It possessed various abilities like Rebirth, Phantom, Water Escape, and Poison Arrow.
From the fanged maws that opened at the tips of its tentacles, Poison Arrows shot out from ti to ti.
Gu Zheng’s figure flickered, dodging the attacks while controlling half of the blades. They vanished, then reappeared.
The second ti they appeared, they were already inside the tentacle Demon Fiend’s brain, bursting out from its head, cutting and tearing.
The tentacle Demon Fiend’s body was its brain.
