Chapter 641 Meeting an Old Friend, 100,000 Spirit Stones

"Ah Qing, where should we go to earn spirit stones?"

Above the sky, Lu Qing was flying at a leisurely pace, while Xiao Li, perched on his shoulder, asked a question.

By this time, they had left the cave and come outside.

"Let me think about it some more."

In fact, Lu Qing was also in a bit of a dilemma.

He actually has quite a few treasures in his possession now. In the battle of Tian Shu Divine Mountain back then, he obtained several spiritual artifacts alone, and even more powerful magical artifacts.

Each item is quite valuable; if you could sell them, you could easily get a large amount of spirit stones.

However, these powerful magical treasures all have owners, and their original owners were mostly powerful figures in various forces.

If he dares to sell it, he might immediately expose his identity as Chen Qing.

At that time, countless powerful figures will likely come to suppress him.

Although Lu Qing's strength has greatly increased, ordinary people at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm are no match for him.

However, he was not so complacent as to believe that he could truly defeat those old monsters in the Nascent Soul Realm who had survived numerous tribulations.

If he doesn't sell treasures, he has no connections or resources in the Tianyuan Great World, so it will be difficult for him to acquire a large amount of spirit stones in a short period of time, just like he did in the Xiaocang Realm.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qing had a sudden thought and remembered someone.

If it's that person, perhaps they can help him.

Thinking of this, Lu Qing smiled and said, "I've got it. Let's go."

"Aqing, you've come up with a plan. So, where do we go now?"

"Go find an old friend."

……

A month later, Lu Qing, with Xiao Li, crossed multiple continents and arrived at a large continent called Qingniu Continent.

The Tianyuan Great World is incredibly vast, with the human race's territory alone being immensely expansive.

Even for Lu Qing, crossing a state without revealing too much of his strength would take a considerable amount of time.

Upon entering Qingniuzhou, Lu Qing noticed that the architectural style had changed once again.

Taoist temples are everywhere, and even the number of Taoist priests has greatly increased.

Qingniu Continent is also a very special continent in the Tianyuan Great World.

The practice of cultivating Taoism is prevalent on this continent, with countless Taoist temples. Many of the powerful Taoist sects of the Tianyuan Great World are located here.

Among them was Daoxu Temple, which Lu Qing had encountered at Tian Shu Divine Mountain Sect. It was a top-tier and powerful sect in the entire Tianyuan Great World.

However, Lu Qing's purpose in coming to Qingniuzhou this time was not for Daoxu Temple, but to find an old friend.

"Ah Qing, you said you were going to see the Five Treasures Taoist. What if he reveals our whereabouts as soon as he sees us?"

Lu Qing was walking through a large city when Xiao Li peeked out from under his clothes, looking around with a hint of worry in her voice.

You should know that both Aqing and it are currently under a kill order from the Holy Alliance.

In addition to the bounties offered by those sects, countless people are trying to find their whereabouts.

"Don't worry, the Taoist priest isn't that kind of person. Besides, we're not going to see him directly. Let's see how things go first," Lu Qing reassured him.

After saying that, he took out a communication jade talisman and sent a message into it.

This communication jade talisman was exchanged between Lu Qing and the Five Treasures Taoist in the trial secret realm of Tian Shu Divine Mountain to prevent them from getting separated, and was used for communication.

However, we never used it back then, but I never expected it to come in handy today.

After sending the message, Lu Qing took Xiao Li to a restaurant, asked for a window seat on the second floor, ordered a table full of dishes, and enjoyed the meal while waiting for the arrival of the Five Treasures Taoist.

After he and Xiao Li had eaten and drunk their fill, a little while later, his expression changed, and he looked down.

Then a familiar figure appeared on the street below; it was none other than the Five Treasures Taoist.

However, at this moment, the Five Treasures Taoist had a hint of tension on his face that was hard for others to detect.

Clearly, he hadn't expected Lu Qing to suddenly come looking for him.

Upon seeing the Five Treasures Taoist appear, Lu Qing did not rush out to acknowledge him, but instead silently observed him and activated his supernatural abilities.

Although he told Xiao Li that he believed in the Five Treasures Taoist's character, how could he really be that naive?

Although he got along quite well with the Five Treasures Taoist when they traveled together, that doesn't mean the other party would necessarily betray him for the hefty reward.

Human nature is unpredictable, so it's best to be cautious.

After observing for a while, Lu Qing found nothing unusual. When the note came into view, he read it and smiled.

However, Lu Qing still did not show himself. Instead, he quietly sent a telepathic message to her, then paid the bill and left with Xiao Li.

Upon hearing Lu Qing's telepathic message, the Five Treasures Taoist priest trembled slightly. He glanced around discreetly, then slowly left the city.

Finally, after confirming that no one was following him, he transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the mountains outside the city.

Once inside the mountains, he quickly spotted the peculiar mountain that Lu Qing had told him about. After hesitating for a moment, he finally flew over there.

As soon as he landed on the mountaintop, Wu Bao Daoist felt an invisible wave sweep past him, and he realized that he had completely lost contact with the outside world.

Clearly, the entire mountain peak had been protected by a formation set up in advance.

Upon witnessing this, the Five Treasures Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief.

He was very familiar with the fluctuations of this formation. More than ten years ago, he had been protected by this formation many times in that strange secret realm of Tian Shu Divine Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, is that you?" Wu Bao Daoist looked around.

"It's been many years since we last met. The Daoist Master still has the same demeanor, and his cultivation is even better than before."

Lu Qing emerged from the woods, his appearance now reverting to that of "Chen Qing".

Xiao Li stood on his shoulder, and she reverted to the way she was when she spent time with the Five Treasures Taoist.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, Xiao Li, it really is you."

Seeing Lu Qing and Xiao Li standing on his shoulder, the Five Treasures Taoist priest finally relaxed and revealed a genuine smile.

To be honest, he was really startled when he received the summons not long ago.

His first thought was that someone was trying to trick him and get information about Chen Qing from him.

However, after carefully reading the message, he felt it didn't seem right.

Because of some things mentioned in the message, he had never told anyone else, so logically, only he and Chen Qing should know them.

Furthermore, only Chen Qing knew about his communication jade talisman; he never told anyone else.

Therefore, it is very likely that the person who sent him the message was indeed Chen Qing.

To verify his idea, he immediately cast a divination to determine the origin of the person who sent him the message.

However, they found the divination results to be completely chaotic, impossible to interpret, let alone deduce the person's origins.

Just like how he predicted Chen Qing's fate back then.

It was precisely because of this that the Five Treasures Taoist priest made up his mind to risk everything and rush over. Now that he saw that his guess was correct, he finally felt relieved.

"Master Dao, how have you been?" Lu Qing asked with a smile.

“Not bad. Back then, after leaving the secret realm, I knew I was outnumbered and left immediately. I missed the sight of Fellow Daoist Chen displaying his divine power and fiercely slaying the primordial spirit, which is truly a pity,” said the Five Treasures Daoist.

After he left the secret realm with Qin Zheng and the others, he took his leave immediately.

Other forces, out of respect for the Qiankun Sect, did not make things difficult for him, a rogue cultivator at the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, the Five Treasures Taoist did not witness the scene where Lu Qing later slayed several primordial spirits and became awe-inspiring.

When he heard the news in Tian Shu City afterward, he was shocked and became wary. He immediately slipped away and left Tian Shu City.

After all, many powerful beings at the Nascent Soul stage had witnessed him and Lu Qing entering the secret realm together.

If those powerful beings realize what's happening and try to capture and interrogate him, then things will be very bad.

Indeed, shortly after the news reached Tian Shu City, powerful figures began searching for the Five Treasures Taoist.

Unfortunately, by then, the Five Treasures Taoist had long since changed his appearance and disappeared without a trace.

In addition, he was extremely skilled in divination and knew how to shield himself from causality.

This left others completely clueless, even if they wanted to figure out his whereabouts.

“No wonder I didn’t see the Taoist priest back then,” Lu Qing suddenly realized.

During the battle at Tian Shu Divine Mountain, he saw Qin Zheng and Ye Qingzhu, but he did not see the Five Treasures Taoist.

At the time, he was a little worried, thinking that something had happened to him during the year he was in seclusion in the mysterious space.

It was only when they saw that the divine soul imprint inside the communication jade talisman was still there that they realized that the Five Treasures Taoist had not perished.

It seems that this somewhat mysterious, fat Taoist priest is as alert as ever, sneaking away as soon as he left the secret realm.

"Fellow Daoist Chen's battle back then shook the world. Even now, those sects and powerful families are probably still searching for your whereabouts," Wu Bao Daoist sighed.

"And what about you, Daoist Master? I have been identified as a demon by the Holy Alliance and a kill order has been issued against me. Do you really want to associate with a demon like me?" Lu Qing said with a half-smile.

“What are you saying, Fellow Daoist Chen? I am not the kind of person who easily believes rumors.” Wu Bao Daoist waved his hand and said, “I can tell whether you are a demon or not.”

To put it bluntly, that battle was simply because those powerful forces were envious of the opportunities you obtained in the secret realm and wanted to seize them by trickery.

This isn't the first time they've done something like this.

However, they, who have always been high and mighty, never expected to run into such a tough nut to crack as you.

"All this talk of demons and monsters is just a convenient excuse those powerful forces are using to save face."

The Five Treasures Taoist priest spoke these words with a mocking look in his eyes.

Clearly, there are quite a few stories behind this person.

"I never expected to gain such trust from you, Daoist Master. It is truly an honor," Lu Qing said with a smile.

"Haha, what those powerful forces love to do most is to label others as heretics and put themselves on the moral high ground. This is nothing new. I'm afraid many other forces understand what's going on, but they just haven't exposed it," the Five Treasures Taoist laughed.

"It seems the Taoist priest has also experienced some things."

“That’s all in the past, let’s not talk about it.” The Five Treasures Taoist shook his head before saying, “By the way, Fellow Daoist Chen, what brings you here to see me this time?”

The Five Treasures Taoist knew perfectly well that his friendship with Lu Qing was far from reaching the level of being completely open and trusting, sharing life and death.

The fact that the other party risked exposure to come looking for him must mean something important.

"To be honest, I do have something I would like to ask you, Daoist Master."

Lu Qing did not mince words, but spoke directly.

"Oh, please speak freely." The Five Treasures Taoist's expression became serious. "If there is anything I can do to help, I will do my best to assist you."

Back then, Lu Qing saved him more than once in the secret realm.

Later, he even selflessly shared the secrets of the alien beast bloodline with him, greatly improving his strength.

After emerging, he successfully mastered a powerful secret technique of his sect.

Wu Bao Daoist has always kept these kindnesses in his heart.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. I'm currently short of spirit stones. I wonder if you have any connections to quickly earn spirit stones?" Lu Qing asked directly.

"Fellow Daoist needs spirit stones? I wonder how many you need? I actually have some savings..."

The Five Treasures Taoist priest subconsciously thought that Lu Qing was a little short of money and was about to offer to lend him some, but Lu Qing's next words shut him up.

"One hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones is the minimum amount. The more the better, there is no upper limit."

"...Ten, more than one hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones?"

After a moment of silence, the Five Treasures Taoist stammered.

He was genuinely shocked by Lu Qing's numbers.

Keep in mind that Lu Qing was referring to mid-grade spirit stones; if it were low-grade spirit stones, the amount would be astronomical.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have come to ask the Taoist priest for help."

"Fellow Daoist Chen, you think too highly of me. What merit do I have to be able to help you obtain more than 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones?" Wu Bao Daoist said with a wry smile.

"Master, you misunderstand me. I don't want you to help me get this sum of spirit stones. Rather, I hope you can point out a few ways to quickly earn spirit stones, since I am not familiar with the Tianyuan Great World."

The Five Treasures Taoist priest fell silent again.

He wasn't surprised that Lu Qing said he wasn't familiar with the Tianyuan Great World.

He had long suspected that this person was not a native of the Tianyuan Great World, but rather came from outside.

Otherwise, such a peerless genius should not have been unknown before.

He thought about it carefully for a while before slowly speaking.

"Actually, there are only a few ways to quickly earn spirit stones."

"In the cultivation world, there are several types of cultivators who are generally the wealthiest: alchemists, weapon refiners, and talisman refiners."

"After all, the path of cultivation is inseparable from elixirs, magic weapons, and talismans."

"If any cultivator can achieve something in any of these three skills, he will become very popular and sought after by cultivators from all walks of life."

"However, your identity is sensitive, fellow Daoist. These three paths all require frequent contact with other cultivators, so they may not be easy to traverse."

Lu Qing nodded slightly.

He had considered what the Five Treasures Taoist priest had said.

He wasn't afraid of interacting with people, but refining pills and magical artifacts required a lot of time, which wasn't suitable for him at the moment.

"Since none of these three paths are suitable, I do know another unconventional method that might help you accumulate spirit stones quickly?"

"Oh, what is it?" Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, immediately showing interest.

"Assassination bounty!"
