LRAB Chapter 35 Half a Extreme Weapon
Chapter 35 Half a Extreme Weapon
The sun was no longer so intense, and the climate inside the oasis was mild and comfortable, unlike that of the outside world.
Not far from the lakeside cabin where Yuan Qingsu lived, at the foot of a steep cliff, the beautiful Weiwei in blue returned to her temporary residence. However, she did not go inside, but stood quietly in front of the door, untouched by the dust, possessing an otherworldly beauty.
Surrounded by swaying tree shadows, beams of light fell from the tree canopy, making her appear ethereal and otherworldly.
Just standing here is enough to create a beautiful painting.
Weiwei listened quietly to the chirping of insects and birds for a while, then turned her head to the empty path she had come from and said, "Senior brother, how long are you going to stand there and watch? You just defeated so many people and obtained the Flame of Life. The Holy Lord even specially called the Holy Maiden away so she wouldn't interfere with you. Why aren't you in seclusion to properly study it?"
"That thing can't be studied; it's more about being triggered by chance. What I need to do most is to have it in my hands."
Yuan Qingsu emerged from the shade of a tree, walked to Weiwei's side, and looked her over. "It's only been a few days, but your cultivation has improved again, Junior Sister. You are truly diligent in your cultivation."
"I can't compare to Senior Brother Yuan. Senior Brother Yuan is the real genius." Vivi said politely, as if the two had become estranged after not seeing each other for a few days.
Considering his purpose, Yuan Qingsu decided to find some topics to talk about first to get closer to him before explaining his purpose. However, he really had no experience in this kind of interaction between men and women.
After much thought, he posed a rather awkward question: "Junior sister, why are you cultivating so diligently?"
"For immortality," Weiwei said softly. "Seeking immortality, envying the undying—isn't that what every cultivator does?"
"What if one cultivates to the point of immortality?"
"Immortality is already unattainable, so what's the point of talking about the future? I've never heard of such a person before. Senior Brother Yuan, your ability to start a conversation is terrible." Weiwei said with a slight upturn of her lips, "It sounds like you have something to ask me. Why don't you just say it?"
"...I want a drop of liver essence blood from you." Yuan Qingsu spoke the truth after a moment of silence. He was indeed not good at dealing with women, especially intelligent women. In fact, he had already expected this before he came.
If Vivi refuses, he will find another opportunity to cooperate.
After all, essence blood is extremely precious to a cultivator, especially a weak cultivator. Even if a cultivator's blood is concentrated, the essence blood that can be extracted is only a few drops. How can it be given away so easily?
It's still given to a stranger.
"So, Senior Brother Yuan needs something from me, huh?" Weiwei smiled lightly, raised her hand, and gently patted his broad shoulder. Her tone was amused, and she said with a touch of magnanimity, "Senior Brother, there's no need to be so subtle between us. Be more direct next time."
"...Okay." Yuan Qingsu readily agreed and repeated, "Junior sister, please give me a drop of liver essence blood."
Vivi nodded solemnly: "Okay."
"Huh?" Yuan Qingsu was taken aback.
I said, "Okay."
"...You just agreed like that?"
"Okay, come with me." Weiwei took the lead and flew through the air, riding the rainbow light, and sat down on the cliff behind her. Yuan Qingsu followed suit and sat down on the edge of the cliff at a distance that was neither too close nor too far away. Her legs dangled along the rocks, and below her were the continuous mountains and forests of this oasis.
As the sun gradually sank below the horizon, it was already evening before we knew it.
The people stationed here in the Yao Guang Holy Land set up temporary camps in various places, cooperated with each other, and formed a rough large formation.
"It's not just about the elusive pursuit of immortality, but because I've loved cultivation since I was a child." Weiwei looked at the distant sun and said calmly, "Because in my eighteen years of life, cultivation is what I'm best at, and that's all I know how to do... But I don't want to cultivate now."
"So what do you want to do now?" he asked casually, and one could see the sunset slowly disappearing in the girl's clear eyes.
Weiwei moved a little closer, looked at Yuan Qingsu, and smiled gently: "I want to look at you like this until the sun goes down."
As she spoke, she moved closer little by little. Yuan Qingsu suddenly realized that not only did she lack experience, but this seemingly clever fairy also lacked experience, and her movements were so clumsy.
Even with such a small distance between them, it took her a long time to finally let her shoulder touch his.
And although it was she who took the initiative, Weiwei looked at him nervously and warily, as if trying to gauge whether there was any resistance in her eyes, as if she might run away at any moment. Yuan Qingsu was at a loss. He was a man, and he wouldn't be at a disadvantage no matter what, but it was just too unexpected...
"Don't move," she said, opening her arms to hug his neck and leaning closer.
The tips of their noses touch, and their lip lines fit together.
Meanwhile, a drop of essence blood containing the essence of immortality was transferred to him, and Yuan Qingsu tasted the bloody and sweet taste as well as the soft and entangled sensation.
At that moment, the sun dipped below the horizon, its light vanished, and an overwhelming darkness engulfed the world.
......
In the darkness, the enormous white moon gradually rose to its zenith, its bright light spilling across the rolling mountains, yet still unable to illuminate the shadows etched into the ravines.
In the utter silence, a loud thud suddenly broke through the earth.
A blood-red coffin was knocked up from the ground, rolled a few times on the ground, and the coffin lid rolled to the side. The lifelike corpse inside the coffin also rolled out.
The corpse was male, with his eyes closed, wearing a bright yellow robe embroidered with real dragons, and a crown on his head. He had been dead for countless years, yet dragon energy still lingered around him, transforming into pale golden dragons that roamed around, dispelling the surrounding darkness and illuminating the plants on the ground.
next moment.
A figure in black robes flew out from underground following the blood coffin, appearing like a ghost beside the corpse. He sighed softly, "He was the ruler of a small country. He was quite powerful in life, reaching the second level of the Immortal Ascension Realm. Before his death, he hoped to use this underground dragon vein to maintain his immortal body and embark on the path of Corpse Dissolution Immortal. Therefore, he was well preserved. However, the essence he left behind is still a bit lacking for us."
"Ignorant fellow, a mere second-level cultivator in the Sendai realm dares to dream of becoming an immortal... However, constantly devouring the essence of corpses will inevitably lead to a loss of the true meaning of demonic arts, and will also hinder one's own cultivation growth."
Another person emerged from the darkness, his voice aged and hoarse: "Old Li, when are you going to hunt down some powerful figures? By the way, do you know about your Dao Palace realm disciple, the Ji family, and the Ji family's divine body?"
"How could you possibly hide something like this from me?"
"He doesn't sound as bad as you described. I have a feeling this kid could be raised like a prodigy."
"Defeating only a divine body from the Eastern Wilderness is not enough to qualify as a divine embryo."
The black-robed man's downturned lips curled slightly upward as he raised his hand and slammed it hard onto the emperor's corpse. A seemingly real yet illusory Great Dao treasure bottle appeared, devouring the "Source" extracted from the corpse's five secret realms. His entire being exuded an unfathomable aura, and he said calmly:
"This kid is destined to be a sacrifice, but there's still value to be extracted from him, you know? That little saintess from Yaochi Holy Land used to be his lover, hehe."
"The Holy Maiden of Yaochi? She is indeed one of the sweetest prey. Even if we don't need her, she can still be used to hone the divine embryo."
The person in the darkness nodded, then asked with a hint of anticipation, "What are your plans? This Jade Pool Gathering should last ten days to half a month. Should we make our move after the gathering ends? When would be the best time to strike?"
"This matter is not urgent."
The man in black robes withdrew his hand from the corpse, digesting the source within his body. His eyes grew even darker as he murmured, "It's been almost ten thousand years since the Azure Emperor fell. The flame of life has reappeared, and another supreme emperor is about to rise in this era."
The person in the darkness chuckled, shook his head with his hands behind his back, and said, "This thing is hailed as the standard equipment of the Great Emperor. It has been passed down from ancient times to the present. There are too many imitations. People imitated it in the Primordial Era, and there are still people imitating it now. What's more, there is more than one lamp unearthed this time. Who knows which one is real? If the Ji family's divine body hadn't been almost destroyed this time, and if the Ji family hadn't chased after your disciple and almost dug up the old site of Yaochi, Yaochi would never have held the Yaochi Grand Gathering again. Besides, you and I both know that if you want to achieve the Dao, you can never rely on external objects."
"That being said, the great emperors throughout history have all pursued the [fire], which shows how extraordinary this artifact is."
"Since you value the torch so much, why did you use the excuse of going into seclusion to leave?" The person in the darkness asked, puzzled. "You should go to Yaochi in person to oversee things."
"Of course there are more important matters, and with the Divine Embryo present, if Qing Su is no match, he will step in to stabilize the situation." The man in black robes continued, then changed the subject, saying, "Young experts from all sects and schools will gather in the Northern Region, with all kinds of physiques coming together. This is a rare opportunity for us."
Under the moonlight, he took out a bronze pot.
The teapot is decorated with a ghost mask that appears to be both crying and laughing, with tears blurring the smile.
"Take this to your old lover at Miaoyuan."
The man in black robes said calmly, "I heard that they recently spent a lot of money to train a female disciple named An Miaoyi. She is very outstanding and will soon make her official debut."
"Such a beautiful woman should naturally be put to good use. We can use her to spread the news. The authenticity of 'Torch' is hard to discern, and many people don't care. But what if it's half a [Ultimate Weapon]? Would anyone still ignore that?"
