Chapter 101 Self-Inflicted Insult
He was indeed very grateful to Song Li, who had sent him a lot of the resources he needed over the years, and had been incredibly helpful in fulfilling his every request.
"I'm not sitting anymore!"
Song Li was overjoyed at this moment. The gloom and frustration on his face were swept away, leaving only undisguised excitement.
He tossed the spirit wine into his storage bag with both hands, then quickly stepped forward, grabbed Luo Qing's arm tightly, and said in an urgent and overjoyed tone:
"Junior Brother Luo... no, Junior Brother Luo! Congratulations! Quickly come with me to see our master; he has long intended to take you as his personal disciple!"
At this moment, Song Li was filled with relief and hope, and he then took out his gourd magic weapon.
He couldn't wait to rush to Sun Huagu with Luo Qing and settle this major matter that had been weighing on his mind for more than two years.
He knew all too well that as long as Luo Qing could be accepted as a personal disciple by his master and replace him as the core support in his master's plan, he could completely escape that fate of certain death and continue to live!
"good!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Qing's face instantly lit up with an expression of flattery and immense eagerness. She promptly took Song Li's arm, her tone sincere:
"I, Luo, have long admired Senior Sun and have been hoping for the opportunity to meet you!"
Before he finished speaking, he leaped lightly and landed steadily on the gourd artifact.
Seeing this, Song Li was overjoyed. He pointed his fingertip sharply at the magical artifact and shouted:
"Walk!"
The cyan gourd instantly burst forth with dazzling spiritual light, transforming into a stream of light that carried the two of them soaring into the sky, hurtling towards the summit of Earthly Fiend Peak.
With Song Li, their personal disciple, leading the way, the two of them traveled smoothly and arrived at the summit of Di Sha Peak in less than half an incense stick's time.
The mountaintop was shrouded in mist, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was several times richer than that at the foot of the mountain. The cold wind howled, making people's robes flutter.
At the center of the peak stands an ancient and eerie cave dwelling, built against the mountain and shrouded in a faint black protective barrier, radiating a chilling pressure.
Luo Qing's gaze fell on the cave entrance, where three powerful and eerie characters were carved in blood-red cinnabar on the dark stone door: "Bone-Melting Cave"!
The handwriting is sharp and incisive, sending chills down one's spine upon seeing it.
Luo Qing couldn't help but feel a little scared. Sun Huagu was an old demon in the late stage of Core Formation. He was decisive and ruthless, and had a deep mind. This meeting was a life-or-death game. If he was not careful, he would be doomed.
But in just a moment, he forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart, his mind focused, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes:
To completely break free from the confines of the Yin Island, he must take this step!
Song Li had long since suppressed his elation, his expression becoming respectful. Just as he was about to raise his hand to release a communication talisman to report to Sun Huagu in the cave, a chilling voice slowly echoed from the depths of the cave:
"Li'er, you've finally arrived. Bring that junior with you, and come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, the heavy, dark stone door of the cave sank rapidly downwards.
Instantly, a dense aura of yin energy and demonic power surged forth, carrying with it a putrid smell, causing Luo Qing to furrow his brow slightly.
Beyond the stone gate lay a dark and deep passage, devoid of any light, its end obscured, eerie and sinister.
"Let's go, Junior Brother Luo, don't keep Master waiting!"
Song Li quickly turned his head and whispered a urging to Luo Qing.
After saying that, he took the lead, stepped through the barrier of light in front of the cave entrance, and entered the dark passage.
Luo Qing remained silent, quietly circulating the Great Evolution Technique to stabilize her mind, and then followed closely behind Song Li, stepping into the dark passage.
Soon after, the two passed through the passage and arrived at a spacious and magnificent hall.
Dozens of luminous white spirit pearls are embedded in the rock wall above the hall, emitting a soft and pure light that illuminates the entire hall as if it were daytime.
The hall was filled with a great many furnishings, each piece of which was crafted from rare and precious spiritual materials:
In the center was a long black iron table, on which various top-grade magical artifacts were displayed.
Several carved jade chairs were placed on both sides, and the chairs were covered with snow-white fox fur cushions, making them extremely luxurious.
In the corner, there were several pots of rare spiritual flowers, emitting a faint spiritual light and medicinal fragrance.
Sun Huagu sat cross-legged on the main seat of Xuan Tie at the head of the hall, his eyes closed, surrounded by dense black demonic energy that slowly circulated.
His chest rose and fell slightly, his breath steady and long, clearly indicating that he was using some kind of secret technique, and his body exuded a powerful aura.
The next moment, Sun Huagu suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange purple light flashed in his pupils.
Immediately afterwards, those cold and sharp eyes, like two poisoned daggers, stared intently at Luo Qing.
Without any hesitation or warmth, it was as if they wanted to see through Luo Qing from the inside out, from his physical body to his primordial spirit!
Luo Qing felt a chill run through her body, as if she were being stared at by a cold, venomous snake, and the hairs on her body stood on end.
Fortunately, Luo Qing had anticipated this, so she was not flustered at all.
He knew all too well that an old demon like Sun Huagu, who had lived for hundreds of years, was deep-thinking, suspicious, and cunning. He would never easily trust this suddenly appearing "Evil Yuan Body" based solely on Song Li's one-sided account.
Immediately, Luo Qing calmly activated both the Great Evolution Technique and the Qi Concealment Technique to their maximum potential.
After two and a half years of dedicated cultivation, he had already completed the second level of the Great Evolution Technique and had even begun to make initial attempts to cultivate the third level, resulting in a qualitative leap in the strength of his divine sense.
His divine attribute is now as high as 58 points!
It should be noted that an ordinary early-stage Core Formation cultivator only has around 45 points of divine attribute.
In other words, Luo Qing's current primordial spirit cultivation is equivalent to that of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator.
In addition, with the wondrous concealment technique, even if Sun Huagu had a high level of cultivation, he would never be able to see through his true strength.
The only weakness in Luo Qing's body was the blood curse restriction at the base of his palm.
For the past two and a half years, Meng Bao's schedule has been packed. He has to do his best to analyze the three techniques: "Heavenly Demon Art", "Twelve Transformations of Awakening of Insects", and "Five-Colored Demon-Swallowing Technique". He also has to deduce new techniques and find time to help him analyze the third level of "Great Evolution Technique".
With no time to spare, she simply didn't have the extra time to help him figure out the secret technique to break the blood curse.
However, sometimes being too clean and without any flaws is not a good thing.
On the contrary, proactively handing over a weakness and revealing your own desires will make others think that they can easily control you, thus lowering their guard.
As Luo Qing expected, Sun Huagu's gaze swept over him and quickly landed on the base of his palm, then a playful smile appeared on his lips.
