Chapter 16: Chapter 16 The Opportunity Has Arrived

Lu Qingshan did not say a second word, pretending to accidentally turn around, and silently cast the Heavenly Eye Technique towards the woman.—If there's a cheat that can be used, why overthink it? ———————— Wu Yi (Human Race) Occupation: Dharma Cultivation (Main) Cultivation Technique: [Qi Drawing Technique] Lv4 (336/400) Rank: Qi Refinement Attribute: Strength 1, Agility 1, Mana 3, Divine Soul 1, Charm 1, Stamina 1 Health Points: 11/11 Spiritual Power Value: 40/40 Skills: Qi Concealing Technique Lv1, ???, ???, ???... Talent: None ———————— Such a familiar panel, and... such a familiar name. A slight smile rose on Lu Qingshan's lips. Although the information gathered by using Heavenly Eye Technique on the middle-aged male cultivator next to Wu Yi only displayed a row of neat question marks: ??? (Human Race) Occupation: ??? Rank: ??? (Extremely Lethal) Attribute: ??? ... But Lu Qingshan was quite sure that this middle-aged male cultivator next to Wu Yi was most likely that Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the boss of the Corpse Refining Cave instance, [Real Blood Corpse]. Wasn't this the opportunity to break the game? Lu Qingshan's steps didn't change, maintaining an unaffected demeanor, he left the Great Xia Commercial Firm. The Divine Sense perception ability of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator is very sensitive to anyone spying around. To avoid attracting the attention of [Real Blood Corpse], Lu Qingshan did not look further at the two people. —Moreover, even though Wu Yi had never seen his face, since he could roughly recognize her by her figure, what guaranteed that Wu Yi couldn't recognize him by his figure as well? So, it was best to avoid appearing in front of this woman as much as possible. ... A massive storm was quietly brewing behind the seemingly calm Yuanshan City. Walking on the streets of Yuanshan City. Lu Qingshan was in a good mood. Demon Cultivators planned to capture Qi Yuan's share of the Heavenly Secret Mirror in two days. At the same time, Real Blood Corpse, whose lair had been raided once, appeared in Yuanshan City. The identity of Real Blood Corpse, refining Corpse Puppets in his own lair, was undoubtedly another long-standing Demon Cultivator. Once could be a coincidence, twice could still be considered a coincidence, but these three coincidences must have an internal connection. With the information Lu Qingshan had, he easily arrived at the answer. —This Real Blood Corpse was one of the members involved in the operation to capture Qi Yuan's share of the Heavenly Secret Mirror in two days. All points had already connected into a line. And Lu Qingshan, having grasped this line, did not need to cut it, but simply needed to make the line veer off the path originally planned by the Demon Cultivators. ... Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Myriad Treasures Tower in Yuanshan City. A very famous firm within Yuanshan City. At this time, within the hidden basement of Myriad Treasures Tower. Two rows of chairs were neatly arranged, with nearly ten cultivators sitting densely. If Lu Qingshan were there, he would have recognized one of the cultivators as the Blood Corpse True Man he had encountered at the Great Xia Commercial Firm. The atmosphere inside the room was eerie and grave. Seated at the head was an old man, white-haired and gaunt as deadwood. The elder at the head scanned the cultivators present and asked, "The time to act is in two days, have the tasks I assigned you been fulfilled without any slips?" "I have no issues here, Asura Lord; several days ago, someone had already sent over the War Beast." "Same here, the formation flags are all prepared." "As for my side..." .... The cultivators below responded one after another. "However, Rakshasa Lord, Qi Yuan is a Nascent Soul Spiritual Cultivator from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, with unmatched divination skills especially adept at seeking fortune and avoiding disaster. Why are you so sure he will risk coming to Yuanshan City because of the Blood Pool?" a burly cultivator suddenly asked. The other cultivators in the room, upon hearing this question, also turned their gazes to the elder, clearly perplexed as well. "Heh, the divination skills of Heavenly Secret Pavilion's Spiritual Cultivators are indeed unparalleled in the world, but often these unparalleled skills can become an impediment to those very cultivators," the elder said with a hint of mockery in his tone. "How so?" "Heavenly Secret Pavilion's cultivators often rely too heavily on their divination skills, so their first response to any situation is divination. Many times, they lose their ability to judge for themselves." "When Qi Yuan detects something wrong with the Blood Pool through the Heavenly Secret Mirror and prepares to head to Yuanshan City, he will surely employ divination to ascertain if his journey carries any risks." "If the divination shows danger, he naturally will not hastily proceed to Yuanshan City." "But firstly, our current plan targets the Heavenly Secret Mirror, with no arrangements against Qi Yuan himself. Secondly, as all of us here are at most at the Golden Core stage, we pose no threat to Qi Yuan." "Therefore, the divination Qi Yuan receives will surely indicate safety. Even if the Blood Pool matter is fraught with errors, the misleading divination combined with the Heavenly Secret Pavilion disciples' compassionate Bodhisattva hearts means Qi Yuan has a ninety percent chance of coming to Yuanshan City to investigate the Blood Pool." "Techniques are rigid, people are adaptable," the elder coldly chuckled, his voice frosty, "even the most exquisite skills of the heavenly secret cannot account for the complexities of the human heart." "What an excellent strategy, Rakshasa Lord!" A chorus of amazed voices. The elder known as Rakshasa, with an unchanged expression, looked toward Blood Corpse True Man sitting in the corner and suddenly furrowed his brow, "Blood Corpse, I heard that yesterday your disciple suddenly came to Yuanshan City looking for you, did something happen?" Blood Corpse True Man's pupils constricted as he respectfully replied, "Rest assured, Rakshasa Lord, there is no significant issue." The elder nodded and said, "That's good to hear. With the impending Corpse Puppet Chaos and the birth of a Demon Child, you all must act cautiously and avoid any slip-ups. If we succeed, our Qing State branch will have accomplished an unprecedented feat, and all of your ranks in the Netherworld will rise rapidly!" "You may return and prepare well. In two days, when Qi Yuan uses the Heavenly Secret Mirror, that will be our moment to act. Once we succeed, immediately abandon the years of arrangements in Yuanshan City and flee." "Understood, Elder!" The elder waved his hand, and all the cultivators quickly rose and scattered through the underground passage of Myriad Treasures Tower, disappearing into various places in Yuanshan City. Blood Corpse True Man's face was grim, harboring unspeakable thoughts, silently walking in the underground passage. "Blood Corpse, please wait a moment," someone called out to Blood Corpse True Man. Blood Corpse True Man turned back to see who it was and frowned, "Kuhun, what do you want?" Real Person Kuhun looked at Blood Corpse True Man and smiled, "I heard that your Corpse Refining Cave was raided by some unidentified cultivator?" Blood Corpse True Man's expression tightened as he stared intently at Kuhun, speaking deliberately, "What do you mean by that?" Kuhun shook his head and explained, "I mean no harm. If I had wanted to trouble you, I would have exposed you when Rakshasa Lord asked you just now." "However...." Kuhun paused for a moment and lecherously smiled, "Your female disciple, if I'm not mistaken, is a top-notch Furnace Cauldron. As you know, I've been recently practicing the Technique of Harvesting Qi and am in need of superior female cultivators as Furnace Cauldrons, how about lending me your female disciple?" Blood Corpse True Man was silent for a while before replying, "After this matter is concluded, I will lend her to you." "Then let me thank Blood Corpse True Man in advance for your generous offer," Kuhun said contentedly, nodding his head before turning to leave. Watching Kuhun's departing figure, a hint of darkness flashed in the depths of Blood Corpse True Man's eyes. Lending was one thing, but the Technique of Harvesting Qi involved taking a woman's Yin Qi. With Wu Yi merely at the fourth stage of Qi Refinement, how could she survive after being harvested by Kuhun? Anger filled Blood Corpse True Man's heart, coupled with a trace of worry. He was always cautious; even the raw materials for refining corpse puppets were painstakingly brought from places far from the Corpse Refining Cave. Moreover, his Corpse Refining Cave was located deep in the mountains and concealed by a Second Grade formation. Yet still, his Corpse Refining Cave was raided by some unidentified person. He vaguely felt something ominous, as if someone was secretly targeting him.
