Miao Wen and Luo Tianhong stood on either side, treating him with the same respect and reverence.
Such deference was not unwarranted.
At the very top, hidden behind a curtain, was a man whose presence exerted
enormous pressure even while seated, looking down at them.
He did not speak, merely inspecting Luo Chen.
Suddenly!
He extended his index and middle fingers.
His fingers, resembling a sword, pointed at Luo Chen.
Luo Chen’s heart pounded wildly as he felt the piercing sensation of something
sharp pointing at him.
You can’t be serious, boss!
I’m just a small-time Qi Refinement Stage Rogue Cultivator, what do you want with me!
The next moment, Luo Chen was taken aback and his face turned pale.
“Cough,cough!”
Backing up a few steps, he felt something being extracted from his body.
A powerful voice reached his ears.
“Find that rat hiding in the dark, guided by this Soul Seed.”
“Go!”
“Following the Elder’s command!”
“Following the Elder’s command!”
Amid the howling wind, Luo Chen coughed incessantly.
Miao Wen frowned at him from the side.
“When were you injured?”
Luo Chen forced a smile: “Ten days ago, injured by a Talisman Treasure.” “Talisman Treasure?” Miao Wen scoffed, “I told you not to stir up trouble, you overestimated your abilities.”
Luo Chen didn’t retort. If he hadn’t acted, the Luo Tian Creed couldn’t have developed so smoothly.
Not only had they resolved the issues of milk sources and Wan Jade.
Two days ago, the Li Family had also reached a cooperation agreement with them to purchase a batch of Jade Marrow Pills each month.
The advance payment alone was a significant sum of five hundred Spirit Stones.
If the deal was successful, thousands of Spirit Stones would be credited every month, which would amount to considerable income in the long run.
Looking at Luo Tianhong fluttering in front of him with a green lamp on his head,
Luo Chen couldn’t help asking: “What exactly did Elder Pang extract from my body just now?”
“Tsk…”
Miao Wen chuckled and glanced at him.
“You wouldn’t know the trick Mi Shuhua left on you.”
A chill ran through Luo Chen, there are other tricks?
He had already used a Grandmaster Level Cleansing Technique to remove the trace of Pure Spirit Power that Mi Shuhua had left in him!
A chill rose unconsciously in his heart.
“That’s a Soul Seed, you can also regard it as a wisp of Spirit Consciousness that a cultivator has chosen to sever. But since Mi Shuhua is dead, this wisp of Spirit Consciousness becomes a rootless duckweed, thriving because of you.”
“As we all know, everything possesses a spirit, humans have souls. After reaching the Foundation Establishment, combining the spirit and soul achieves the external creation of Spirit Consciousness.”
“Thus, within Spirit Consciousness naturally exists a portion of a cultivator’s original soul.”
“Elder Pang used a great Divine Power, retracing the original source of Mi Shuhua’s soul and combined it with the Soul Gathering Lamp to form a Soul Seed.”
Listening to these words, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel extremely frightened at his close call.
He thought that Mi Shuhua only left a trace of Pure Spirit Power on him. He was ready to run away since he had a countermeasure.
He was even well-prepared.
Turns out, that old cunning fox had more than one trick up his sleeve!
Severing his Spirit Consciousness willingly, how ruthless!
This meant directly cutting off a portion of his soul.
If he had attempted to run away, Mi Shuhua would have captured him in no time.
He could only imagine the consequences then.
Being locked in with pill refining might be the best treatment he could hope for.
“I really underestimated the means of a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!”
“Foundation Establishment, establishes the foundation of the Great Dao Path. Once a cultivator reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they will undergo earth-shaking changes in all aspects, not merely their combat power.” “We must be careful from now on!”
Luo Chen took a deep breath, it was nothing more than knowing shame and then becoming brave!
He glanced at Miao Wen and realised his expression was also not very good.
Thinking back to his unusual demeanor and tone today, Luo Chen was suddenly struck with a thought.
The other must be having a hard time too!
Right, the method Mi Shuhua left on me has been long!
But strangely, he and I have been together several times and he has never discovered it.
On the other hand, Luo Tianhong, whom I’ve only seen once, noticed something wrong immediately.
The moment Pang Renxiong came out of his confinement, he immediately reported it to the superiors.
Whether Luo Tianhong will be rewarded is unknown, but Miao Wen will definitely be reprimanded!
This old man, his life must be miserable too!
Adhering to his mentality of ‘if I’m not having a good time, no one else should either’, Luo Chen was rarely satisfied.
However, he still maintained enough respect on his face.
“So what exactly are we supposed to do with this Soul Seed right now?”
“Trace it back to its origins, to find Mi Shuhua?”
“But he’s dead already, isn’t he?”
At Luo Chen’s question, Miao Wen exhibited unusual patience.
Even though his tone wasn’t the greatest, he at least answered Luo Chen’s questions.
But his answer gave Luo Chen quite a shock.
“Mi Shuhua wouldn’t have died that easily!”
“Even though five Foundation Establishment cultivators ganged up on him initially, all of them were in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, and Wang Haichao, Nangong Jin and Li Yixian did not have any magic items.” “Aside from the Sky Moon Purple Gold Wheel, Mi Shuhua also possessed the defense magic item Lan Ke Black and White Chess Piece and the suppression magic item Monster-Locking Tower.”
“If he had fought to the death, at least half of those five individuals would have been gone and the rest would’ve been seriously injured.”
“But in the end, aside from Duan Qiankun and Li Yixian, who sustained minor injuries, everyone else was unscathed.”
“However, Mi Shuhua, he met his end within his own clans grounds.”
At this point, Miao Wen took a deep breath.
A wicked smile appeared on his face.
“That rat hiding in the dark, he couldn’t resist the temptation now could he!”
“Very soon!”
“We’ll catch him out in no time!”
Luo Chen was taken aback by the depth of Mi Shuhua’s strength.
Three magic items!
What kind of wealth is this?
Even some average Golden Core Cultivators wouldn’t be as affluent, would they!
Let’s not even discuss whether Mi Shuhua could use all three magic items at once, just the fact that he had them was enough to garner astonishment.
Under such circumstances, Mi Shuhua had actually died.
Mulling over the term “rat” used by both Pang Renxiong and Miao Wen, Luo Chen instantly realised something.
He had walked right into a dispute occurring within the Golden Core Stage!
As time passed, the sun rose, and the moon set.
By the time the day began to darken and the sunset’s afterglow spread over the immense Great River, the person in front, Luo Tianhong, stopped in his tracks.
His expression was solemn, as he held the Soul Gathering Lamp in his hand.
He lowered his head, and his sharp, clear eyes stared intently at the depths of the Great River.
This place was very far away from the Great River District, with the river width spanning several kilometers, almost indistinguishable from the ocean.
At the same time, a formidable and terrifying fluctuation of mana spread from the river.
There was clear hostility, targeted at Luo Tianhong.
In the face of this terrifying development, Luo Tianhong did not hesitate and shouted loudly.
“Elder, please draw your sword!”
In the next moment, a golden streak of light, like a falling star, boomed from the depths of the Great River District.
The sword qi was like a tide, its momentum overwhelming!
