They are the women standing behind me.

"I stumbled upon this stone box somewhere when I first came to the Tianxin Territory. It looks like an antique, and I've always wanted to open it and see what's inside. Unfortunately, my abilities are limited, and I haven't been able to do so yet."

Zhong Lishu said, "I plan to exchange this for something else."

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, maybe there is a treasure inside." Qin Xingyuan joked.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, since we can't open it, what does it matter even if there's a celestial treasure inside? To be honest, I've thought about it. When I become more capable and powerful in the future, maybe I can open the stone box. But I have no idea what's inside. Maybe there's nothing there at all. Who can say for sure about such things?"

Zhong Lishu said thoughtfully, "If someone could tell me that there must be something good in this box... then I definitely wouldn't trade it. But there really might be nothing there. Traveling and gaining experience is actually very dangerous. Now that I've decided to travel back, the journey is actually very long. It's best to get something useful and practical to keep with me. Otherwise, if I get killed one day, even if there is a treasure in this stone box, it has nothing to do with me and will naturally fall into the hands of others. I'd better be realistic."

After he finished speaking, he paused and continued, "Fellow Daoist Qin, to be honest, I don't know what's inside. It might even be empty. It's hard to name a price. Fellow Daoist Qin, please give it as you see fit."

……

Half an hour later, Qin Xingyuan returned to the house he rented. He was alone because he had contacted Hua Wanning before and said he would get together with Junior Brother Shen. Hua Wanning, who might have felt bored, went to play with Li Sujin.

Qin Xingyuan came into the room and took out the ancient stone box he had exchanged from Zhong Lishu. He tried to inject spiritual energy into it and use it to "pry" it.

I found that this fell on deaf ears.

So he tried to use the fire from heaven to burn it, but it was useless. He then tried to use the fire from the incinerator to burn it, but it was also useless.

He then used the heavy sword, Qiubai and other magical weapons to chop and slash, but it was still useless.

He tried a lot of things and tried all sorts of methods, but nothing worked.

He transformed a small world with his thought and entered it. The Zhishi Tiantu lit up, and Baili Zhishi's thought appeared.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Qin Xingyuan took out the stone box and asked Baili Zhishi what he was thinking.

He raised his hand, and the stone box flew up and landed in his hand. He examined it carefully, then said, "This item is quite ancient and has been completely sealed."

"Sealed?"

"It's a very strange and mysterious power. If my real body were in this world, I could try to unlock it."

Baili Zhishi thought: "But I can't do it now."

He returned the things to Qin Xingyuan. Qin Xingyuan was not disappointed and did not talk about the matter any more. He directly started a battle with Baili Zhishi. After a hearty fight, Qin Xingyuan, feeling refreshed, went out and started a new day. He was busy until the evening. He returned to the rented house and came to the main house. He saw Hua Wanning and Li Sujin sitting and talking.

Qin Xingyuan was a little surprised. "I didn't expect to see Senior Li at this time?"

When Li Sujin saw Qin Xingyuan, she seemed to remember something - not that she was seen naked, but that Qin Xingyuan had some "outrageous and ridiculous" things.

Her expression was a little unnatural.

Hua Wan Ning glanced at her, thinking she was embarrassed by the bathing incident earlier, so she couldn't help but say, "Actually, Fairy Li wants to buy some cultivation tips from important figures. She mentioned it a few days ago, but I forgot. If you have any, I think it would be okay to sell them to Fairy Li. After all, the experience of the predecessors can be used as a reference to make her life easier."

"I have plenty here."

Qin Xingyuan raised his right hand and tapped his temple, then said with a smile, "Then I'll go write a few important figures' cultivation experiences for Senior Li."

He had read this stuff countless times in Dao Zong's eighteen-layer library.

"Thank you very much. Why don't you take a look at my storage bag first? If there is anything you need, you can take it."

Li Sujin said softly, "If there's nothing you need, I'll give you spirit stones. It's not good to take it for free."

"Senior Li, no need. When you have time in the future, please give my Wan Ning more guidance."

Qin Xingyuan smiled and shook his head, "Then I'll go write it first."

After he said this, he left.

As Li Sujin looked at his back, she suddenly remembered that she had gone to Qin Xingyuan for help so that she could join a powerful force as a guest official. Qin Xingyuan had helped her at that time and had not accepted anything in return.

She always kept it in her heart and never forgot it.

Then Li Sujin started chatting with Hua Wanning again, talking about everything under the sun. As they chatted, Hua Wanning smiled and praised, "Actually, Fairy Li, my Qin Lang is not at all conceited or arrogant in private. He is quite easy to talk to... I believe he must have been like this back then. He has never changed."

"Well, that's what he was like back then, and he also helped..."

Li Sujin, who had subconsciously answered the question, suddenly stopped talking, her face changed slightly, and she turned her head abruptly to look at Hua Wanning, and found that Hua Wanning was looking at her with a look of surprise.

Chapter 457? Maybe you are still willing?

Li Sujin and Hua Wanning stared at each other in silence. Then Hua Wanning came to her senses and asked in a somewhat strange tone, "Could it be that Fairy Li already recognized him?"

Li Sujin was silent for a moment, then nodded, "I recognized him when he was still a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core Realm."

"So early?"

Hua Wanning was surprised. "Doesn't that mean Fairy Li's sweetheart must be... him?"

Hearing this, Li Sujin's mature and beautiful face turned red. She coughed a few times as if she was a little embarrassed, but did not deny it.

Hua Wanning suddenly realized something and said, "No wonder Fairy Li was so magnanimous when someone saw her body. If it were him, well, even if he touched her intentionally, let alone being seen, I think Fairy Li would probably just say a few words of anger. After all, she has favored me for so long, she would probably not favor anyone else."

Li Sujin looked at her and was surprised. "I, I thought the flower fairy would..."

"So you dislike Fairy Li?"

Hua Wanning finished for her and said with a smile, "Fairy Li is not the only female cultivator who likes him. He is so handsome, and he is recognized by the outside world as an existence that will become invincible if he is immortal. I would be surprised if he is not liked by many female cultivators. And if I dislike him because of his favor, then wouldn't I hate Gu Yirou, Ye Yunmei and others? Although I am a little surprised, it seems reasonable. I didn't realize it before, but I have set my heart on him. In fact, if I think about it carefully, I should have realized it long ago."

"The Flower Fairy knows about this..."

Li Sujin said in a slightly complicated tone: "If it were me..."

"I know what Fairy Li means. What woman would associate with a woman who is interested in my man? But... Fairy Li and I get along quite well, and we get along quite well."

Hua Wanning interrupted, "Just kidding, if I had to choose between Fairy Li and Gu Yirou to be his woman, I would definitely choose Fairy Li. Because I can talk to Fairy Li better than Gu Yirou, and we get along better. I think no matter who it was, I would probably make the same choice."

Li Sujin was somewhat incredulous after hearing this. "It feels like the Flower Fairy has completely let go."

"It's not about letting go, it's just that this is very realistic."

Hua Wanning blinked, "And don't worry, Fairy Li. I really don't dislike you because of this. Although I'm petty, I'm not that narrow-minded. After all, Fairy Li isn't the only one who likes and favors him."

Hua Wanning finished her words with a giggle, then said in surprise, "But Fairy Li knew him so long ago, and she's so fond of him, yet..."

"When he came to our Sun Moon Palace before, I... didn't want him, but when I wanted him, it was already too late."

Li Sujin spoke of this with a hint of regret in her voice, "And now, it's even more impossible."

"Eh?"

"The Sun and Moon Palace behind me is a small force. I am the highest-ranking Grand Master in the sect, and the only one in the Spiritual Severing Realm."

Li Sujin said, "The sect has been incredibly kind to me. Without it, I wouldn't be who I am today. I have to repay them. I have to spend my entire life cultivating talented disciples, guiding the sect's high-level management in their cultivation, and cultivating myself. I can't be like Flower Fairy, going wherever she wants with him. Since I'm bound to choose my own sect, then..."

She said this calmly and didn't say anything else.

"Fairy Li has quite a few difficulties." Hua Wanning said.

"Yes, besides, even if I like him, he may not like me."

Li Sujin said softly, "If Flower Fairy can do it, then so can I. Given his personality, if he really had feelings for me, he would have made his move on me long ago. He'd be eager to take everything he wants, and he wouldn't just sit there and do nothing. I don't think he's a passive person; he's more proactive."

"Fairy Li sees through him very clearly." Hua Wanning said with some surprise.

"I'm not blind, nor am I so dumb that I can't even tell whether a man likes me or is interested in me. Although the fact that he's a playboy is always more eloquent than words, but... well, I think I should say that he only wants what he wants."

Li Sujin said softly, "Whether it's the Flower Fairy, or the Gu Yirou or Ye Yunmei you mentioned, there must be something that attracts him. If he only cares about looks, then to be honest, with his unparalleled, stunning appearance, strength, background, and so on, if he really wants to find a Taoist partner, even if he has a hundred, I still think it's not enough."

"..."

Hua Wanning was silent for a moment, looking at Li Sujin with a strange look in her eyes, and sighed somewhat, "Fairy Li, you are quite amazing. If the man I have admired for so long were right in front of me, and I could even see him and touch him, I would definitely not be able to control myself."

"Flower Fairy, you misunderstood a little."

Li Sujin shook her head and corrected herself, "To like someone, I can only say I have a favorable impression of him, not like the flower fairy I felt when we first met. I've never felt that a man I have a crush on could make me impulsively give everything for him. If it's just love, then maybe that's okay. But if I like him and date him, and he doesn't touch me and behaves very well, then I'd think he's a blockhead."

Hua Wanning raised her right hand, resting her chin on it, and then said, "If he were to be poisoned by a poison that required dual cultivation, would Fairy Li be willing to sacrifice her virginity to help him?"

Li Sujin was a little dumbfounded. What kind of weird question was this?

"I think you're probably willing, right?" Hua Wanning said.

Li Sujin thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed as Hua Wanning said.

So she didn't deny it.

"Actually, Fairy Li, let me tell you the truth. He has quite a few women around him anyway. Whether there are five or six, it makes no difference to me."

Hua Wanning said, "It's not like there's only five or six people, but fifty or sixty. From my personal perspective, I've also interacted with Gu Yirou, Ye Yunmei, and Ji Ningyan, and we can get along, but it's probably hard to get along like I do with Fairy Li. And I'm not kidding how busy he is on weekdays; Fairy Li can see that, too. If he's not around, and I don't want to practice, it'd be really boring. Having a 'close sister' who can help me improve, who I can talk to, who I can get along with well, and who I can completely trust, at least now I don't really think it's a bad thing."

Hearing this, Li Sujin sighed, "He's truly terrifying. In just a short time, he's already 'changed' the Flower Fairy into this."

……

Chapter 458: Unscrupulous and Reckless

……

at the same time.

Le Hongjiang, a powerful figure who had reached the Minor Perfection of the Spiritual Severing Realm, arrived at a place outside the city. Seeing Gai Shanhe, a tall and handsome man with double pupils, who was 1.9 meters tall, he said in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Gai actually asked me out?"

Gai Shanhe's voice was icy, and he got straight to the point: "How did you arrange a fight with Qin Wudi? Do you know each other?"

"Friend Wang was the one who made the connection."

Le Hongjiang told it casually.

"he?"

Gai Shanhe raised his eyebrows, "In that case..."

Le Hongjiang seemed to know what he wanted to ask and immediately said, "After my battle with Qin Wudi, regardless of whether I win or lose, Fellow Daoist Wang will fight me."

Gai Shanhe had a cold face and said nothing.

Le Hongjiang said what he had heard, "When Fellow Daoist Gai and Fellow Daoist Wang met in Xiuxian City before, didn't Fellow Daoist Wang also say that if Fellow Daoist Gai could defeat Qin Wudi, he would fight you?"

Gai Shanhe sneered with a stern face. How could a person of his stature challenge a cultivator in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm?!

He has his pride.

Just like he believed that if it were Qin Wudi, would Qin Wudi have the nerve to challenge an extremely powerful person who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm?

But if Qin Wudi were to challenge him, he would naturally take action and crush Qin Wudi!

"Then please tell Wang Yangpai to release the news that Qin Wudi is challenging me. I will naturally crush Qin Wudi in front of him." Gai Shanhe gestured coldly.

This also seemed like an order to Le Hongjiang.

Le Hongjiang raised his eyebrows, looking somewhat displeased, then asked with a half-smile, "Crush? Ha, Fellow Daoist Gai, do you look down on Qin Wudi so much?"

"He's just a cultivator in the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm." Gai Shanhe said coldly.

"But Qin Wudi is an unprecedented existence. If he doesn't die, he will become the unrivaled one. He is a living and future unrivaled one. Let alone those in the same realm or the same great realm, I think even Fellow Daoist Wang will be crushed by Qin Wudi."

Le Hongjiang emphasized this and then asked curiously, "Fellow Daoist Gai, at the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, do you have the strength to fight against me, Qin Wudi?"

"Just because you're incompetent, you think everyone in the world is as incompetent as you? Unable to suppress Qin Wudi at the same level?"

Gai Shanhe said with disdain and contempt, "I want to surpass heaven and earth, and I don't even care about heaven and earth. Can Qin Wudi, no matter how powerful he is, really be stronger than heaven and earth?"

Le Hongjiang narrowed his eyes. "Fellow Daoist Gai, let me advise you. You can look down on anyone, but how can you look down on the existence of someone unprecedented in history?"

"Don't tell me so much. Go find Wang Yangpai and ask him to help Qin Wudi spread the news of challenging me." Gai Shanhe crossed his arms and said, "After I defeat Qin Wudi, I will fight Wang Yangpai."

"I'm sorry, but I won't do that."

Le Hongjiang refused, "It's not like Fellow Daoist Gai doesn't know Fellow Daoist Wang. Just contact him yourself."

Gai Shanhe's face was ice-cold, and a terrifying pressure emanated from his entire body. His double pupils stared at Le Hongjiang's face.

Le Hongjiang did feel a lot of pressure, but he was very unhappy.

We are all in the same realm. No matter how powerful Gai Shanhe is, he is also a genius with more power behind him. Why speak to him in such a commanding tone?

Do you really think he has no temper?

Then Le Hongjiang said bluntly: "If Daoist Fellow Gai has nothing to do, I will leave."

"Since Wang Yangpai was the one who set this up, if I ruin this and anger Wang Yangpai, he will definitely fight me."

Gai Shanhe was completely unconcerned, and seemed to do whatever he wanted. He said in a cold voice: "Friend Le, you and Qin Wudi may not be able to fight in the battle in three days."

As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his crossed arms. Seeing this, Le Hongjiang immediately understood that Gai Shanhe was going to attack him.

As expected, Gai Shanhe took a step forward, like a huge and ferocious beast stomping on the ground, a loud thunder sounded, the ground shook violently, and in an instant, he came in front of Le Hongjiang.
